                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
as of September 30, 1999, by and between FUTURELINK DISTRIBUTION CORP., a
Colorado corporation (the "Company"), and GLEN C. HOLMES ("Executive").

                                       I.
                                   EMPLOYMENT

         I.1 Position and Duties. The Company hereby engages and employs
Executive as President for the term set forth in this Agreement.

         The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") may provide such
additional designations of title to Executive as the Board, in its discretion,
may deem appropriate. Executive shall perform the executive duties and functions
related to the above positions, subject to the reasonable limitations of
authority set forth from time to time in the resolutions of the Board and
applicable law.

         I.2 Best Efforts. Executive agrees to devote his full time and
attention to the Company, to use his best efforts to advance the business and
welfare of the Company, to render his services under this Agreement fully,
faithfully, diligently, competently and to the best of his ability, and not to
engage in any other employment activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, Executive shall not be precluded from (a) engaging in charitable
activities and community affairs; (b) managing his personal investments and
affairs, provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the
proper performance of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement; or
(c) owning up to 1% of a publicly-held company engaged in the same or similar
business as the Company.

                                       II.
                            COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

         II.1 Base Salary. For all services to be rendered by Executive under
this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay Executive an annual base salary of not
less than $200,000, less deductions required by law, payable in accordance with
the normal payroll practices of the Company.

         II.2 Bonus. Within 10 days following each calendar quarter during the
term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to Executive a minimum bonus of
$50,000 per quarter, and a discretionary performance bonus, as determined by the
board.

         II.3 Other Benefits. The Company shall further provide to Executive the
following other benefits:

               a) an annual vacation leave of a minimum of three (3) weeks per
calendar year at full pay;

               b) a grant of options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $5.00 per share, vesting 50% on grant, and 25% annually
thereafter; and

               c) full participation, on a basis commensurate with his position
with the Company, in all plans of life, accident, disability and health
insurance that generally are made available to senior executives of the Company.

         II.4 Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse
Executive for all actual and reasonable business expenses incurred by Executive
in promoting the business of the Company, including expenditures for
entertainment, travel, or other expenses, provided that (a) such expenditures
are of a nature qualifying them as legitimate business deductions and (b)
Executive furnishes to the Company adequate records and other documentary
evidence reasonably required by the Company to substantiate such expenditures.

                                      III.
                          TERMINATION AND SEVERANCE PAY

         III.1 At Will. Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that
Executive's employment with the Company is expressly "at-will" both during and
after the term of this Agreement. This means that either party may terminate
Executive's employment with or without cause. Any termination of Executive's
employment is, however, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement as
to severance pay and other obligations.

         III.2 Involuntary Termination.

               a) Severance Pay. In the event that Executive's employment with
the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined in Section 3.3),
Executive shall be entitled to no severance pay. In the event that Executive's
employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause,
then in consideration of Executive's compliance with his obligations under
Article V and Article VI and Executive's execution of a general release in favor
of the Company, Executive shall be entitled to severance pay ("Severance Pay")
in the form of (i) monthly payments to Executive in the amount of Executive's
monthly base salary and minimum bonus as in effect on the date of termination,
payable in accordance with customary payroll practices, for 18 months following
such termination. Executive shall also be entitled to Severance Pay if his
employment is terminated for any reason by the Company, or its successors,
within eighteen months of a Corporate Transaction, as defined below in Section
3.4, or the transfer of Company stock consisting of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding
securities. Executive acknowledges and agrees that in the event Executive
breaches any provision of Article V or Article VI, his right to receive
severance payments under this Section 3.2(a) shall automatically terminate.

               b) Benefits. Following termination, Executive shall cease to be a
Company employee and shall not be entitled to any employee benefits. This shall
not preclude Executive from exercising his COBRA benefits under applicable law.

         III.3 Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean (i) the
willful refusal of Executive to comply with a lawful instruction of the Board;
(ii) an act or acts of personal dishonesty by Executive that were intended to
result in personal enrichment of

                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3

Executive at the expense of the Company; (iii) Executive's conviction of any
felony involving an act of moral turpitude; or (iv) Executive's gross
negligence, gross incompetence, willful insubordination or misconduct,
intentional or persistent failure to perform stated duties or abide by the
Company's policies, or material breach of any provision of this Agreement,
including without limitation any representation or covenant contained in Article
V or Article VI of this Agreement.

         III.4 Corporate Transaction. Corporate Transaction shall mean either of
the following transactions to which the Company is a party: a merger or
consolidation in which securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of
the total combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities are
transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those
securities immediately prior to such transaction, or the sale, transfer or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the Company's assets in complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

         III.5 Voluntary Termination.

               a) Severance Pay. In the event Executive voluntarily terminates
his employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined in Section 3.6),
Executive shall be entitled to no Severance Pay. In the event Executive
voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as
defined in Section 3.6), Executive shall be entitled to the Severance Pay set
forth in Section 3.2(a) if (i) Executive gives written notice of his resignation
within ninety (90) days of such Good Reason and advises, as part of such
resignation, that he is resigning because of the Good Reason, and (ii) the Good
Reason was other than for Cause.

         For purposes of this Agreement, the Term "voluntarily terminates" shall
not include a resignation that is tendered by Executive pursuant to a direct
request for the Board. A resignation tendered by Executive pursuant to a direct
request of the Board shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be treated as an
involuntary termination, and Executive's entitlement to Severance Pay in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(a) shall depend upon whether the
Board's request was based on Cause (as defined in Section 3.3).

         III.6 Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall
mean (i) the material reduction or material adverse modification of Executive's
authority or duties without his prior written consent (i.e., the substantial
diminution or adverse modification in Executive's title, status, overall
position, responsibilities, reporting relationship or general working
environment); (ii) any reduction in Executive's base compensation, bonus
potential or material reduction in employee benefits; or (iii) any requirement
to move Executive's principal place of employment from Orange County,
California.

         III.7 Death. In the event of Executive's death, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and shall be of no further force and effect. Termination
of Executive's employment as a result of his death shall not result in any
obligation by the Company to pay Severance Pay or other benefits to Executive's
estate or heirs.

         III.8 Disability. In the event of Executive's Disability (as defined
below) during the term of this Agreement for any period of at least three (3)
consecutive months, the

                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

Company shall have the right, which may be exercised in its sole discretion, to
terminate this Agreement. In the event the Company does elect to terminate this
Agreement, Executive shall not be entitled to any Severance Pay at any time but
shall be entitled to normal disability benefits in accordance with the policies
established from time to time by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Disability" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his employment
services hereunder by reason of physical or mental illness or incapacity as
determined by a physician chosen by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to
Executive or his legal representative.

                                       IV.
                                      TERM

         IV.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Article III hereof, the Term of
Executive's employment under this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof
and shall continue for two years from the date hereof, as such date may be
extended from time to time. After expiration of the initial two year period of
this Agreement, Executive's employment will automatically renew for a period of
one year, each year, on the same terms and conditions as are set forth herein,
unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal at least six months
prior to the end of the initial term of employment, or for any year in which the
employment was renewed, whichever the case may be.

                                       V.
                          NONDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
                        AND NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES

         V.1 Nondisclosure of Confidential Information. Except in the
performance of his duties hereunder, Executive shall not disclose to any person
or entity or use for his own direct or indirect benefit any Confidential
Information (as defined below) pertaining to the Company obtained by Executive
in the course of his employment with the Company. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall include the Company's products,
services, processes, suppliers, customers, customers' account, executives,
employees, financial, sales and distribution information, price lists, identity
and list of actual and potential customers, trade secrets, technical
information, business plans and strategies to the extent that such information
has not been publicly disseminated by the Company, other than through a breach
hereof.

         V.2 Return of Information. Upon termination of Executive's employment,
Executive will deliver to the Company all customer lists, proposals, reports,
memoranda, computer software and programming, budgets and other financial
information, and other materials or records or writings of any type (including
any copies thereof and regardless of the medium in which the information exists)
made, used or obtained by Executive in connection with his employment by the
Company.

         V.3 Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement.
Executive shall be subject to the provisions of the Company's Employee
Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5

         V.4 Non-Solicitation. Executive agrees that, so long as he is employed
by the Company and for a period of two (2) years after termination of his
employment for any reason, he shall not (a) directly or indirectly solicit,
induce or attempt to solicit or induce any Company employee to discontinue his
or her employment with the Company, (b) usurp any opportunity of the Company
that Executive became aware of during his tenure at the Company or which is made
available to him on the basis of the belief that Executive is still employed by
the Company, or (c) directly or indirectly solicit or induce or attempt to
influence any person or business that is an account, customer or client of the
Company to restrict or cancel the business of any such account, customer or
client with the Company.

                                       VI.
                                 NONCOMPETITION

                     [This section left intentionally blank]

                                      VII.
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         VII.1 Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any
merger or consolidation, whether or not the Company is the surviving or
resulting corporation, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company. In the event of any such merger, consolidation or
transfer of assets, the provisions of this Agreement shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the surviving or resulting corporation, or the corporation to which
such assets shall have been transferred, as the case may be; provided, however,
that the Company will require any successor to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.

         VII.2 Arbitration. Any disputes or controversy between the parties to
this Agreement, including allegations of fraud and misrepresentation arising
from or as a result of this Agreement, the resulting business dealings between
Company and Executive, Executive's employment or the termination thereof,
including any claims of discrimination or other claims under any federal, state,
or local law or regulation now in existence or hereinafter enacted concerning in
any way the subject of Executive's employment with Company or its termination,
shall be resolved, after the parties attempt informal resolution, exclusively by
arbitration in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of
Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. All arbitration
hearings shall be held in Orange County, California within one hundred twenty
(120) days from the date arbitration is demanded by any of the parties and the
arbitrator shall render his/her written decision within thirty days (30) after
the arbitration hearing has concluded. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding on all parties, and may be entered as a judgment by any party
with any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction. The parties to the
arbitration hearing shall share any filing fees and arbitrator's fees which must
be paid in advance of the hearing equally; however, as set forth below the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all costs
that it has incurred as a result of the arbitration hearing, including fees paid
to the arbitrator, travel costs and Attorneys' fees. This

                                      -5-

provision shall not alter the rights of the parties to seek and obtain the
provisional equitable remedies provided under any applicable state or federal
law. Executive represents, by his signature, that he is making a voluntary and
knowing waiver of his right to pursue any and all employment related claims in
court.

         VII.3 No Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of
any subsequent breach thereof.

         VII.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of California.

         VII.5 Entire Agreement; Modifications. This Agreement represents the

parties relating to the employment of Executive by the Company, and it may not

waiver of any other provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in
writing signed by the party against whom the same is sought to be enforced.

         VII.6 Jurisdiction; Venue. The parties do hereby agree and submit to
personal jurisdiction in the State of California for the purposes of any

and stipulate that any such proceedings shall be venued and held in Orange
County, California.

                                        I
                                   EMPLOYMENT

         1.1 Position and Duties. The Company hereby engages and employs the
Executive as Executive Vice-President Sales and Marketing, with his principal
office to be located in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, for the term set forth in this
Agreement.

                  The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") may provide
such additional designations of title to the Executive as the Board, in its
discretion, may deem appropriate. The Executive shall perform the executive
duties and functions related to the above positions, subject to the reasonable
limitations of authority set forth from time to time in the resolutions of the
Board and applicable law.

         1.2 Best Efforts. The Executive agrees to devote his full time and
attention to the Company, to use his best efforts to advance the business and
welfare of the Company, to render his services under this Agreement fully,
faithfully, diligently, competently and to the best of his ability, and not to
engage in any other employment activities. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Executive shall not be precluded from (a) engaging in
charitable activities and community affairs; (b) managing his personal
investments and affairs, provided that such activities do not materially
interfere with the proper performance of his duties and responsibilities under
this Agreement; or (c) owning up to 1% of a publicly-held company engaged in the
same or similar business as the Company.

                                       II
                            COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

         2.1 Base Salary. For all services to be rendered by the Executive under
this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay the Executive an annual base salary of
not less than $180,000, less deductions required by law, payable in accordance

         2.2 Cash Bonus. The Executive shall be entitled to receive a bonus
payment upon execution of this Agreement and also be eligible for ongoing
performance bonuses during the life of the contract, as follows:

<PAGE>   2

         (a)      A signing bonus of $95,000, less deductions required by law,
                  shall be paid by the Company to the Executive upon the
                  execution of this Agreement and all ancillary documents and
                  agreements attached as Schedules hereto, and in no event, no
                  later than two (2) business days following the Executive's
                  execution of this Employment Agreement. Should the Executive
                  voluntarily terminate this Agreement within the first six (6)
                  months of employment, $50,000 of this signing bonus shall be
                  repayable by the Executive to the Company. In addition, upon
                  the Executive's execution of this Agreement and the ancillary
                  agreement(s) attached hereto as schedules, the Company shall
                  pay the Executive's legal counsel, James M. Sack, $5,000
                  towards his legal fees and disbursements incurred representing
                  the Executive in this matter; and

         (b)      A performance bonus plan with cash compensation up to a
                  further $180,000 per annum (100% of base salary), less
                  deductions required by law, based on achieving measurable
                  performance targets to be set by the Board of Directors. These
                  measures include sales revenue, margin and other defined
                  factors. The bonus plan shall be so structured that partial
                  performance will yield a partial bonus. The performance bonus
                  will be prorated and paid semi-annually for 1999, and paid
                  quarterly in 2000, 2001, and 2002;

         2.3 Other Benefits. The Company shall further provide to the Executive
the following other benefits:

         (a)      An annual vacation leave of a minimum of four (4) weeks per
                  calendar year at full pay; and

         (b)      Full participation, on a basis commensurate with his position
                  with the Company, in all plans of life, accident, disability
                  and health insurance that generally are made available to
                  senior executives of the Company.

         2.4 Share Purchase and Loan. Upon execution of this Employment
Agreement and ancillary agreements, including but not limited to, the
Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement attached as Schedule "A" hereto,
the Loan Agreement attached as Schedule "B" hereto (the "Loan Agreement") and
the Escrow Agreement attached as Schedule "C" hereto (the "Escrow Agreement"),
the company shall immediately loan to the Executive the sum of $2,000,000 in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement shall
provide that the Executive pay a simple (not compounded), fixed rate of interest
of five and five-eighths (5.625%) percent per annum, payable annually. Upon
receipt of funds advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Executive shall
immediately thereafter pay to the Company $2,000,000 as a subscription for
shares in accordance with the Subscription Agreement attached as Schedule "D"
hereto (the "Subscription Agreement"). As provided in the Subscription
Agreement, the Executive shall be issued a number of shares of the Company's
common stock equal to the $2,000,000 of subscription funds divided by a "market
value" price per share equal to the average of the closing bid and ask prices as
quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board regulated by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, five (5) trading immediately preceding the
date of execution of this Agreement.

                                                                               2
<PAGE>   3

               The shares of the Company's common stock issued in accordance
with the Subscription Agreement shall be deposited in escrow in accordance with
the Escrow Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, one-eighth
of this escrowed common stock ("Escrowed Shares") shall be released from escrow
on the first day following the end date of each of the next eight quarters
beginning October 1, 1999 and ending July 1, 2001. Similarly, under the terms of
the Loan Agreement, so long as the Executive remains employed by the Company,
$250,000 of the principal amount of the original $2,000,000 loan shall be
forgiven on the day following the last day of each of the said eight fiscal
quarters hereafter. Furthermore, the annual interest payable by the Executive on
the principal amount of the loan shall be forgiven at the end of each annual
period hereafter when due should the Executive remain employed by the Company at
such time. The forgiveness of any principal or interest due under the Loan
Agreement shall constitute a benefit to the Executive under the terms of this
Employment Agreement and shall be subject to deductions required by law.

               Should the employment of the Executive be terminated by the
Company without cause prior to all of the Escrowed Shares being released from
escrow under the Escrow Agreement and prior to the full amount of the loan being
forgiven or repaid under the terms of the Loan Agreement, any further release of
Escrowed Shares shall cease and the remaining principal amount of the loan shall
become immediately due and payable under the demand provisions of the Loan
Agreement. Thereafter, the Executive shall have ten (10) business days to
provide the Company with payment of all or a portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the loan, by certified check, bank draft or wire transfer.
If, at the end of ten (10) business days following termination of the
Executive's employment, any principal amount of the loan remains outstanding,
the Company shall seize the collateral securing the loan, being Escrowed Shares
held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and cancel the said shares of common
stock. The parties hereto agree that value per share of any common stock seized
and cancelled by the Company in accordance with the above shall be identical to
the price per share originally paid by the Executive for the common stock in
accordance with this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, regardless of the
market price of the Company's common stock on the date of termination or the
date of realization on the collateral by the Company. Any Escrowed Shares not
seized as security under the Loan Agreement and cancelled by the Company as a
result of the Executive repaying all or a portion of the principal amount of the
loan in accordance with the above provisions shall remain held in escrow under
the Escrow Agreement and released in accordance with the terms thereof.

               Should the Executive voluntarily terminate his employment with
the Company or be terminated by the Company with Cause, any remaining Escrowed
Shares shall be immediately seized by the Company as collateral for the loan
which shall be immediately retired thereby. The parties hereto agree that value
per share of any common stock seized and cancelled by the Company in accordance
with the above shall be identical to the price per share originally paid by the
Executive for the common stock in accordance with this Employment Agreement and
the Subscription Agreement, regardless of the market price of the Company's
common stock on the date of voluntary termination or termination for Cause
and/or the date of realization on the Escrowed Shares by the Company (as
security under the Loan Agreement) and cancellation of such shares.

                                                                               3

               The Executive acknowledges, that in respect to any Escrowed
Shares to which the Executive is otherwise entitled under this paragraph 2.4 of
this Employment Agreement and in respect to the Escrowed Shares issued in the
name of the Executive and not yet released from escrow under the terms of the
Escrow Agreement, these Escrowed Shares are specifically subject to the
following terms:

         (a)      Escrowed Shares which have been released from escrow under the
                  terms of the Escrow Agreement effective the actual day of the
                  Executive's termination of employment are the only Shares of
                  the Escrowed Shares originally deposited in escrow under the
                  terms of the Escrow Agreement to which the Executive is
                  entitled under this Employment Agreement on the termination of
                  the Executive's employment or office, unless the Executive is
                  terminated by the Company without just cause and the Executive
                  elects to pay out any outstanding principal amount owing to
                  the Company advanced to the Executive pursuant to the terms of
                  the Loan Agreement so as to remain eligible to receive
                  Escrowed Shares pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; and

         (b)      In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment
                  or office in circumstances under which the Executive may be
                  entitled at law or in equity to reasonable notice of
                  termination of employment or compensation in lieu thereof, or
                  is entitled to a specific period of notice or compensation in
                  lieu thereof, the Executive is not entitled to claim any right
                  to further unreleased Escrowed Shares or further time for
                  Escrowed Shares to be released from escrow during the said
                  reasonable notice period or during the said specific notice
                  period, or compensation in lieu thereof by way of general
                  damages, or special damages, whether in contract, in tort or
                  otherwise.

               The Escrowed Shares issued to the Executive pursuant to the
Subscription Agreement shall be issued in accordance with exemptions from
registration in accordance with applicable securities laws and shall be
"legended" appropriately. However, these Escrowed Shares, whether or not
released from escrow in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, shall be entitled
to the following registration rights:

         (a)      The Company hereby agrees with the Executive that it shall
                  include the Escrowed Shares in a subsequent Registration
                  Statement on Form S-1 or such other form as the Company deems
                  appropriate, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
                  "SEC"), covering the resale of the Escrowed Shares. The
                  Escrowed Shares shall be entitled to "piggy-back" registration
                  rights and be included on either the Registration Statement
                  currently being prepared by the Company or on the next
                  Registration Statement to be filed by the Company, at the
                  Company's discretion;

         (b)      The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the
                  Registration Statement provided for above to be filed with the
                  SEC no later than January 31, 2000 and to effective no later
                  than March 31, 2000;

                                                                               4
<PAGE>   5

         (c)      Should the Company fail to cause a Registration Statement with
                  respect to the registration of the Escrowed Shares to be filed
                  on or before January 31, 2000, the Executive shall thereafter
                  have the right to demand that the Company prepare and file a
                  Registration Statement covering the resale of the Escrowed
                  Shares immediately thereafter; and

         (d)      The Company shall file any Registration Statement including
                  the registration for resale of the Escrowed Shares without
                  charge to the Executive. The Executive shall, however, bear
                  the fees of his own counsel and any transfer taxes applicable
                  to the resale of the Escrowed Shares sold by the Executive
                  pursuant thereto.

         2.5 Options. The Executive shall receive grant of stock options to
acquire up to 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price
of US$6.08 per share exercisable on or before June 30, 2004 upon execution of
this Agreement. The Company shall prepare its standard form Stock Option
Agreement evidencing the grant of Stock Options to vest as follows:

         (a) 62,500 stock options immediately vested;

         (b) 62,500 stock options vesting June 30, 2000;

         (c) 62,500 stock options vesting June 30, 2001; and

         (d) 62,500 stock options vesting June 30, 2002

               The total number of stock options granted by the Company
currently exceeds the number of stock options, which may be granted under the
Company's existing Stock Option Plan, and, as such, this grant of stock options
to the Executive remains subject to shareholder ratification and approval of a
revised Stock Option Plan, which is anticipated prior to the end of September,
1999. Should the above grant of stock options fail to be ratified at the next
meeting of the Company's shareholders, the Company shall compensate the
Executive based on the price differential between the exercise price of the
above grant of stock options and the exercise price stock options granted to the
Executive at a later date in accordance with a shareholder approved stock option
plan, should the later grant, if necessary, be effected at a higher exercise
price.

               The Executive acknowledges, that in respect to any shares of
common stock to which the Executive is otherwise entitled to receive upon
exercise of stock options granted under this paragraph 2.5 of this Agreement and
in respect to the stock options granted to the Executive and not yet vested
under the terms of this Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement, these stock
options and the shares of common stock underlying same are specifically subject
to the following terms:

         (a)      Stock options which have vested under the terms of this
                  Agreement and the Stock Option Agreement effective the actual
                  day of the Executive's termination of employment are the only
                  stock options which the Executive will be entitled to exercise
                  under this Employment Agreement following the termination of
                  the Executive's employment or office; and

         (b)      In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment
                  or office in circumstances under which the Executive may be
                  entitled at law or in equity to

                                                                               5
<PAGE>   6

                  reasonable notice of termination of employment or compensation
                  in lieu thereof, or is entitled to a specific period of notice
                  or compensation in lieu thereof, the Executive is not entitled
                  to claim any right to further unreleased or unvested stock
                  options or the shares of common stock underlying same or
                  further time for the stock options to be exercised during the
                  said reasonable notice period or during the said specific
                  notice period, or compensation in lieu thereof by way of
                  general damages, or special damages, whether in contract, in
                  tort or otherwise.

         2.6 Expense Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse the
Executive for all actual and reasonable business expenses incurred by the
Executive in promoting the business of the Company, including expenditures for
entertainment, travel, or other expenses, provided that (a) such expenditures
are of a nature qualifying them as legitimate business deductions and (b) the
Executive furnishes to the Company adequate records and other documentary
evidence reasonably required by the Company to substantiate such expenditures.

                                       III
                             TERMINATION; SEVERANCE

         3.1 At Will. The Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that
the Executive's employment with the Company is expressly "at-will" both during
and after the term of this Agreement. This means that either party may terminate
the Executive's employment with or without cause with minimal or no notice.

         3.2 Benefits. Following termination, the Executive shall cease to be a
Company employee and shall not be entitled to any employee benefits. This shall
not preclude the Executive from exercising his COBRA benefits under applicable
law.

         3.3 No Severance on Termination. In the event the Executive's
employment terminates prior to the expiry of the term, whether such termination
results from the Executive's voluntarily termination of his employment, or the
Company terminates the Executive with or without "just cause", the Executive
shall not be entitled to severance pay. The Executive hereby expressly waives
any and all entitlement he may have at law or in equity to any severance, pay in
lieu of notice or retiring allowance upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason.

         3.4 Death. In the event of the Executive's death, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and shall be of no further force and effect. Termination
of the Executive's employment as a result of his death shall not result in any
obligation by the Company to pay severance pay or other benefits to the
Executive's estate or heirs.

         3.5 Disability. In the event of the Executive's Disability (as defined
below) during the term of this Agreement for any period of at least three (3)
consecutive months, the Company shall have the right, which may be exercised in
its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement. In the event the Company does
elect to terminate this Agreement, the Executive shall not be entitled to any
severance pay at any time but shall be entitled to normal disability benefits in
accordance with the policies established from time to time by the Company. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean the inability of the
Executive to perform his employment services hereunder by reason of physical or
mental illness or incapacity as determined by a

                                                                               6

physician chosen by the Company and reasonably satisfactory to the Executive or
his legal representative.

                                      TERM

         4.1 Term. Subject to the provisions of Article III hereof, the term of
the Executive's employment under this Agreement shall commence on the date
hereof and shall continue for three (3) years from the date hereof, as such date
may be extended from time to time. After expiration of the initial three (3)
year period of this Agreement, the Executive's employment will automatically
renew for a period of one year, each year, on the same terms and conditions as
are set forth herein, unless either party gives the other notice of non-renewal
at least six months prior to the end of the initial term of employment, or for
any year in which the employment was renewed, whichever the case may be.

                       CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION

                                    INDEMNITY

         6.1 During the initial three (3) year term of this Agreement, the
Company shall indemnify the Executive for any and all legal costs incurred by
the Executive to defend any action brought by USinternetworking, Inc. ("USi"),
excluding any third party action brought by USi. The Executive hereby represents
that he has lawfully terminated his employment with his prior employer, USi, and
there are no pending or threatened actions by USi against the Executive. The
Executive shall continue to comport himself in accordance with any Agreements
between the Executive and USi and in the event that a court of law determines
that the Executive breached his agreement or applicable law regarding his
employment by USi or his activities after termination of employment, the
Executive shall not be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any
judgment, including damages and cost awarded to USi, hereunder. The Executive
further represents that the only written agreements between USi and himself are
as follows:

         (a)      Offer of Employment Letter Agreement dated June 4, 1998 and
                  accepted by the Executive on June 7, 1998; and

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         8.1 Successors; Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
terminated by the voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Company or by any
merger or consolidation, whether or not the Company is the surviving or
resulting corporation, or upon any transfer of all or substantially all of the

agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same
extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession
had taken place.

         8.2 Arbitration. Any disputes or controversy between the parties to
this Agreement, including allegations of fraud and misrepresentation arising
from or as a result of this Agreement, the resulting business dealings between

Association. All arbitration hearings shall be held in Orange County, California

not be changed or terminated orally. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of this Agreement and the Offer Letter, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail. No modification, termination, or attempted waiver of any other
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by the
party against whom the same is sought to be enforced.

                                                                               9
