("Harris"), Capitol Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of

which Harris is the sole member ("Merger Sub"), Wirthlin Worldwide, Inc., a

California corporation ("Wirthlin"), and all of the stockholders of Wirthlin

shown on the signature page to the Merger Agreement (the "Stockholders").

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the undersigned will receive the number of

shares of Harris common stock, par value $.001 (the "Common Stock"), and will

have the right to acquire (subject to applicable vesting requirements) upon

exercise of stock options to be issued by Harris pursuant to the Merger

Agreement the number of shares of Common Stock, as are set forth opposite the

undersigned's name on Annex 1 hereto (collectively, the "Lock-Up Shares"). The

undersigned further acknowledges that as a condition to Harris' entering into

the Merger Agreement, Harris has required the undersigned to enter into this

Lock-Up Agreement, and in order to induce Harris to enter into the Merger

Agreement, the undersigned is willing to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given

to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

      2.     In consideration of the agreement by Harris to enter into the Merger

Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or

dispose of any of the Lock-Up Shares or any interest therein, or any options,

warrants or other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Lock-Up

Shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent

the right to receive Lock-Up Shares.

 

      3.     The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing

restrictions expressly prohibit the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or

other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to

lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Lock-Up Shares even if such

Lock-Up Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such

prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any

short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without
