                ----------------------------------------------

         On March 6, 2006, Inforte Corp. (the "Company") and David Sutton agreed
upon terms of Mr. Sutton's separation of employment from the Company, effective
March 6, 2006. The Agreement between the Company and Mr. Sutton provides for a
termination of Mr. Sutton's employment as the Company's Chief Executive Officer
and, to facilitate the transition of his responsibilities, his engagement as a
strategic advisor for the Company for a period ending August 31, 2006. Mr.
Sutton will receive consideration under the Agreement in an amount equal to
six months' base salary (i.e., $150,000) and a continuation of healthcare
benefits; a fee of $50,000 for his services as a strategic advisor; as well
as a cash payment of $400,000 for all Mr. Sutton's unvested shares of restricted
stock and vested stock options. All options and unvested shares of restricted
stock of Mr. Sutton will be terminated. The Company has agreed to release
Mr. Sutton from his post-termination covenant not to compete, but he will
remain subject to his covenant not to solicit the Company's clients and his
confidentiality obligations to the Company, as currently provided under his
Employment Agreement.

         The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the
Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an Exhibit in its next Annual

Chief Executive Officer in the near future.

         Mr. Mack was the former President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company. He joined the Company shortly after its founding and co-led the Company
for 9 years, transitioning in 2003 from Director, President and Chief Operating
