Dear Jeff:

                   Reference is made to the Employment Agreement between you and
Cybershop.com, Inc. (formerly known as Cybershop International, Inc.) dated
February 7, 1999 (the 'Employment Agreement'). The purpose of this letter is to
reflect our agreement modifying the terms of the Employment Agreement as
follows:

         1. Your services under the Employment Agreement will be terminated at
the close of business on April 11, 2000 (the 'Termination Date').

         2. Salary payable under the Employment Agreement through the
Termination Date shall be paid on the same periodic basis as currently in
effect.

         3. Disclosure of your termination shall be made at a mutually agreeable
time but in any event no later than the Termination Date.

         4. After February 18, 2000 you shall not be required to be present at
our offices to perform services but you shall make yourself available as

         5. Through the Termination Date you shall have full access to your
office and voice mail.

         6. No additional amounts shall be payable to you with respect to
