WHEREAS, Interpublic and Executive are parties to an
Employment Agreement dated as of July 31, 1989, which Employment
Agreement ends, by its terms, on July 31, 1994;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
set forth herein the parties hereto, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
TERM OF EMPLOYMENT
1.01 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Interpublic or one of its subsidiaries will employ
Executive for the period beginning August 1, 1994 and ending on
December 31, 1995, or on such earlier date as the employment of
Executive shall terminate pursuant to Article IV or Article V.
(The period during which Executive is employed hereunder is
referred to herein as the "term of employment" and Interpublic or
whichever of its subsidiaries shall from time to time employ
Executive pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the
"Corporation".) Executive will serve the Corporation during the
term of employment.

2.01 During the term of employment Executive will:
(i) use his best efforts to promote the interests of
the Corporation and devote his full time and efforts to its
business and affairs;
(ii) perform such duties as the Corporation may from
time to time assign to him; and
(iii) serve in such offices of the Corporation as he
may be elected or appointed to. Executive's assignment under the
Employment Agreement shall be as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Lintas Worldwide stationed in New York.
ARTICLE III
COMPENSATION
3.01 The Corporation will compensate Executive for the
duties performed by him hereunder, including all services
