directly or indirectly,  individually or as a member of any partnership or joint
venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, employee or agent of any other
person,  firm,  corporation,  business  organization  or other entity  (except a

venture, or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor, employee or agent of

business organization or other entity.

         7. STOCK OPTIONS. THINK hereby acknowledges that (i) Mednick is a party
to the Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan ("1997 Plan"),  (ii) as such,
the options  granted to Mednick  thereunder  vest on an  accelerated  basis as a

indicating  Mednick's  departure and his being available to THINK to provide the
consulting services pursuant to a Consulting Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E.

         9. MUTUAL  RELEASE AND WAIVER.  Except as provided for in paragraph 11,
the Parties  hereby  release and waive any and all claims they may have  against
each other,  including any claims Mednick may have against  THINK,  its parents,
subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors and assigns, past or present, and each of
them and its and their  officers,  directors,  agents,  servants  and  employees
(hereinafter  collectively referred to as the "THINK Parties"), from and against
any and all  rights,  claims,  demands,  controversies,  causes  of  action  and
liabilities of every kind and character whatsoever,  known or unknown, in law or
in equity,  occurring  prior to and  including the date of the execution of this
Agreement and in particular; but without limitation of the general terms herein,
any  claims of  discrimination  which  could  have been filed by or on behalf of
Mednick  with any agency or court  under any  federal,  state or local  statute,
regulation,  ordinance,  order, rule, tort, implied or express contract or other
common law theory. This release and waiver applies to any and all claims whether
the claims are past or present,  whether  they arise from common law or statute,
whether they arise from labor laws or  discrimination  laws  including,  but not
limited  to,  Title VII of the Civil  Rights Act of 1964,  as  amended,  the Age
Discrimination  in Employment Act, as amended,  the Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of 1974,  as  amended,  any  federal  or  state  civil  rights  or
employment discrimination legislation which claims are based on events that have
transpired  from  the  beginning  of  time  to the  date  of  execution  of this
Agreement.  Mednick  further  agrees  and  covenants  that  should  any  person,
organization or other entity file,  charge,  claim, sue or cause or permit to be
filed any civil action suit or legal  proceeding  involving any matter occurring
at any time in the past,  Mednick will not seek or accept any personal relief in
such civil  action,  suit or legal  proceeding.  Further,  the Parties do hereby


                                      -3-
<PAGE>

expressly  waive and  relinquish,  to the fullest  extent  permitted by law, the
provisions, rights, and benefits of ss. 1542 of the California Civil Code, which
provides --

               "A general  release does not extend to claims which the
               creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor
               at the time of executing the release, which if known by
               him must have  materially  affected his settlement with
               the debtor."

and any and all provisions,  rights and benefits of any similar state,  federal,
or other law, rule or regulation or the common law.

         10. MAINTENANCE OF EMPLOYMENT OF ASSISTANT.  THINK hereby covenants and
agrees to maintain the  employment  of Mednick's  assistance  for a period of no
less than 3 months beyond the Effective Date.

         11. FINAL  SETTLEMENT.  The Parties hereby agree that this Agreement is
in compromise and final settlement among the Parties of all disputed matters and
constitutes  full  satisfaction  of all  claims  made or which  could be made of
whatsoever  kind or  character  which the Parties have or had against each other
from the beginning of time until the Effective Date.

         12. RETENTION OF CERTAIN CLAIMS. The Parties expressly acknowledge that
this  Agreement  is in the nature of a  settlement  of claims and  counterclaims
which either has or had against the other for legal and  equitable  relief.  The
Parties acknowledge further,  however, that each expressly retains, and does not
waive,  any and all of its or his rights  relative  to  equitable  and/or  legal
relief under this Agreement.

         13.  NON-DISPARAGEMENT.  The Parties  represent,  agree,  covenant  and
promise that they will refrain from  disparaging  each other in connection  with
Mednick's departure and the execution of this Agreement.

         14.  CONFIDENTIALITY.

              (a)  INFORMATION.  The   Parties  hereto   recognize  that  it  is
fundamental to the business and operation of THINK, its affiliates, subsidiaries
and divisions thereof to preserve the specialized knowledge,  trade secrets, and
confidential  information of the foregoing  concerning the field of advertising,
marketing  and  interactive  Internet  solutions.  The strength and good will of
THINK is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential
information  generated  from  experience  through the  activities  undertaken by
THINK, its affiliates, subsidiaries and divisions thereof. The disclosure of any
of such information and the knowledge  thereof on the part of competitors  would
be beneficial to such  competitors  and  detrimental to THINK,  its  affiliates,
subsidiaries and divisions thereof, as would the disclosure of information about
the marketing  practices,  pricing  practices,  costs,  profit  margins,  design
specifications,  analytical  techniques,  concepts,  ideas, process developments
(whether or not patentable), customer and client agreements, vendor and supplier
agreements and similar items or technologies. By reason of his being an employee
of THINK, in the course of his  employment,  Mednick had access to, and obtained
specialized knowledge,  trade secrets and confidential  information such as that
described  herein  about the business and  operation of THINK,  its  affiliates,

                                 -4-
<PAGE>

subsidiaries  and  divisions  thereof.  Therefore,  so long as Mednick  receives
compensation  pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement,  Mednick hereby agrees as
follows, recognizing and acknowledging that THINK is relying on the following in
entering into this Agreement:

                    (i)  RETAIN  SECRETS.  Except as  otherwise  required  by or
compelled by law, Mednick shall keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and
shall not use,  disclose  to others,  or  publish  any  information,  other than
information which is in the public domain or becomes publicly  available through
no wrongful act on the part of Mednick, which information shall be deemed not to
be  confidential  information,  relating  to the  business,  operation  or other
affairs of THINK, its affiliates,  subsidiaries and divisions thereof, including
but not limited to confidential  information concerning the design and marketing
practices,   pricing  practices,   costs,  profit  margins,  products,  methods,
guidelines,    procedures,    engineering   designs   and   standards,    design
specifications,  analytical techniques, technical information, customer, client,
vendor or  supplier  information,  employee  information,  and any and all other
confidential  information  acquired  by him in the  course of his past or future
services for THINK or any affiliate, subsidiary or division thereof.

               (b) TURNOVER OF DOCUMENTS.  If Mednick holds as THINK's property,
notes, memoranda,  books, records,  papers, letters,  formulas or other data and
all copies thereof and therefrom in any way relating to the business,  operation
or other affairs of THINK, its affiliates,  subsidiaries and divisions  thereof,
whether  made  by  him  or  otherwise  coming  into  his  possession,  he  shall
immediately deliver the same to THINK upon a request made to him by THINK.

         15.  CONSULTING.  Mednick  acknowledges that he will provide advice and
counsel to THINK on an "as-needed" basis pursuant to the terms of the Consulting
Agreement  attached hereto as Exhibit E. If Mednick  provides such assistance to
THINK,  THINK agrees to pay Mednick's  reasonable  expenses incurred as a result
thereof as more fully set forth in that Consulting Agreement.

         16. JOINT PREPARATION.  This Agreement was jointly drafted by THINK and
Mednick and is not to be construed against either party. Should any provision of
this Agreement be found to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction  and cannot be modified to be  enforceable,  such  provision  shall
immediately  become null and void  leaving the  remainder  of this  Agreement in
effect.

         17.  GOVERNING  LAW.  This  Agreement  and any disputes or questions of
interpretation  arising  hereunder shall be resolved by applying the laws of the
State of California, excluding its conflict of laws principles.

         18.  REPRESENTATIONS  OF PARTIES.  In  executing  this  Agreement,  the
Parties hereby represent that:

              (a) THEY HAVE COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT;

                                      -5-

CONSIDERATION   DESCRIBED   HEREIN  WHICH  THEY   ACKNOWLEDGE  IS  ADEQUATE  AND
SATISFACTORY TO HIM;

              (e) OTHER THAN THE  CONSIDERATION SET FORTH HEREIN, NO PROMISES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND HAVE BEEN MADE THERETO;

              (f) THEY EXECUTE THIS  AGREEMENT AS THEIR OWN FREE ACTS AND DEEDS;
AND

              (g) THIS  AGREEMENT  WAS ENTERED INTO WITHOUT  FRAUD,  DURESS,  OR
COERCION.

         19. SEVERABILITY.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be considered
severable  in the  event  that  any of such  provisions  are  held by a court of
competent  jurisdiction  to be invalid,  void or otherwise  unenforceable.  Such
invalid,  void or  otherwise  unenforceable  provisions  shall be  automatically
replaced by other  provisions  which are valid and  enforceable and which are as
similar as possible in term and intent to those provisions deemed to be invalid,
void or otherwise  unenforceable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the remaining
provisions  hereof shall remain  enforceable to the fullest extent  permitted by
law.

         20.  COUNTERPARTS.  This  Agreement  may be  executed  in  two or  more
counterparts  and signature  pages may be delivered by facsimile,  each of which
shall be deemed an original,  but all of which together shall constitute one and
the same instrument.

         21. ENTIRE  AGREEMENT;  AMENDMENT.  This Agreement  contains the entire
agreement  between  THINK and Mednick with respect to the subject  matter hereof
and thereof. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, modified or discharged,
nor may any  provision  hereof be  waived,  except by an  instrument  in writing
executed by or on behalf of the party against whom enforcement of any amendment,
waiver,  change,  modification  or discharge is sought.  No course of conduct or
dealing  shall be  construed  to modify,  amend or  otherwise  affect any of the
provisions hereof.

         22. NOTICES.  All notices,  request,  demands and other  communications
hereunder  shall be in  writing  and shall be deemed to have been duly  given if
