                        EMPLOYMENT TERMINATION AGREEMENT

         This Employment Termination Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered
into  by and  between  Stephen  R.  Bennion  (hereinafter  referred  to as  "Mr.
Bennion") and Worldtalk Communications Corporation (including other subsidiaries
or affiliated entities,  hereinafter referred to as "Worldtalk") as of April 10,
1998.

         A. Mr. Bennion is employed at Worldtalk and has tendered, and Worldtalk
has accepted,  his resignation as an officer and employee of Worldtalk effective
May 8, 1998 (the "Effective Date").

         B.  On the  terms  and  subject  to the  conditions  described  in this
Agreement, Mr. Bennion and Worldtalk now desire to engage Mr. Bennion's services
as an advisor  during the  three-month  period  following the Effective Date and
[**].

         Now,  Therefore,  in  consideration of the premises and mutual promises
herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

<TABLE>
         1.       Options.    Mr.   Bennion   holds   the   following    options
                  (collectively,  the "Options").  Both parties acknowledge that
                  the  Options are the only  options or other  rights to acquire
                  from  Worldtalk any security of Worldtalk that are held by Mr.
                  Bennion.

<S>                               <C>                                 <C>                         <C>  
      2/7/96                      12,500                              $8.00                       3,906
      9/19/97                     50,000                              $6.63                        none
</TABLE>


The Options  will cease  vesting on the  Effective  Date.  Each Option  shall be
exercised  by Mr.  Bennion,  if at  all,  within  the  times  and in the  manner
specified in the Option grant forms evidencing such Option.

         2. Stock.  Mr.  Bennion  currently  holds 191,000  shares of the Common
Stock of  Worldtalk,  30,250  and  28,125  shares  of which  become  subject  to
repurchase by Worldtalk on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of his Stock
Option Grant Agreements with Worldtalk for a repurchase price of $0.20 and $0.50
per share,  respectively.  Worldtalk  hereby  elects to  repurchase  [**] of the
shares  having a  repurchase  price of $0.20 per  share  and [**] of the  shares
having  a  repurchase  price of $0.50  per  share,  [**].  The  aggregate  share
repurchase  price of [**] will be paid to Mr.  Bennion on or before June 7, 1998
by check  deposited in the United  States mail  addressed to Mr.  Bennion at his
current  residence  or by hand  delivery  to Mr.  Bennion.  Mr.  Bennion  agrees
immediately  after payment of such amount to sign a stock power or assignment in
a form  necessary to transfer the  repurchased  shares to Worldtalk  and deliver
such stock power or assignment to Worldtalk.

                                       5

<PAGE>


         3.       Employment Compensation.

                  3.1 Mr. Bennion confirms and acknowledges that he has received
payment for all salary,  commissions,  bonuses,  accrued but unused vacation and
compensation  in any other  form that is  currently  due and  payable  to him by
Worldtalk in connection  with his  employment as of the date of this  Agreement.
Mr.  Bennion  will take his vacation  from April 10, 1998 through the  Effective
Date and his  signature  authority  with  Worldtalk's  bank and others with whom
Worldtalk does business will expire on April 10, 1998. Although he will not come
into the office during his vacation,  Mr.  Bennion agrees to provide up to eight
hours per week of services to Worldtalk and its personnel as to matters relating
to his duties as an employee.  Mr. Bennion's salary and other compensation as an
officer and  employee  will  terminate  when his  employment  terminates  on the
Effective Date.

                  3.2  Worldtalk  has an  obligation  to make  available  to Mr.
Bennion any medical or disability  insurance  coverage under policies  Worldtalk
carries for its employees  generally,  as required by the  Consolidated  Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (commonly known as "COBRA").  Mr. Bennion has informed
Worldtalk  that he does  not  require  any such  insurance  coverage  after  the
Effective Date.

                  3.3 Except for salary and vacation pay in normal  amounts that
may accrue,  if any, between the Worldtalk payroll date immediately prior to the
date hereof and the  Effective  Date (which will be paid by  Worldtalk  no later
than three days after the Effective  Date),  Mr.  Bennion  agrees that he has no
claim  for any  salary,  vacation,  bonus or  similar  payment  relating  to his
employment with Worldtalk.

         4.  Services as an  Advisor.  Commencing  on the  Effective  Date,  Mr.
Bennion will hold himself  available to provide  advisory  services to Worldtalk
until the close of business on August 8, 1998 (the "Advisory Period").  Services
will be provided  during the Advisory  Period,  upon the request of  Worldtalk's
President,  for no more than eight hours per week (any period  shorter  than one
week to include a proportionate number of hours) at such times and places as are
mutually  convenient  to Mr.  Bennion  and  Worldtalk.  However,  Mr.  Bennion's
services will be performed at times and places that do not  reasonably  conflict
with Mr. Bennion's  responsibilities to his then current employer. Mr. Bennion's
duties  as an  advisor  will  be to  perform  financial  services  and  to  help
transition  knowledge  concerning   Worldtalk's  financial  status  and  systems
directly  to  management  and to other  members of  Worldtalk's  accounting  and
finance department.

                  4.1 Mr. Bennion  acknowledges  that his services as an advisor
are being provided as an  independent  contractor and that he will not be deemed
an employee or agent of  Worldtalk  or have the power to bind  Worldtalk  to any
contract or  agreement.  Mr.  Bennion will be accorded the  customary  and usual
independence  associated with such status and will be responsible for payment of
all income,  social  security or other payroll taxes incurred in connection with
payments to Mr. Bennion as a result of this services arrangement.

                  4.2 In return for Mr.  Bennion's  availability  and  requested
services during the Advisory Period,  Worldtalk will pay to Mr. Bennion [**] for
each  hour per  week  actually  worked  by Mr.  Bennion  (any  such  hours to be
expressly  preapproved by  Worldtalk's  President  prior to being  worked).  All
amounts are to be paid, as earned during the Advisory Period, on the 15th day of
each month for hours worked during the previous month.

                                       6

<PAGE>


         5. Return of Worldtalk  Property.  Mr. Bennion agrees that on April 10,
1998 he will  return to  Worldtalk  all files,  memoranda,  records  (and copies
thereof), credit cards and other physical or personal property which Mr. Bennion
has  received  or will  receive  from  Worldtalk  and which are the  property of
Worldtalk.  Any such property received by Mr. Bennion during the Advisory Period
will be returned to Worldtalk upon expiration or termination of such period.

         6.       [**]

         7.   Confidentiality.   The  Proprietary  Rights  and   Confidentiality
Agreement  entered into by Mr. Bennion in favor of Worldtalk will remain in full
force and effect after the Effective Date and will not be modified or terminated
by this Agreement.

         8. General Provisions.  The parties represent and acknowledge that they
have  carefully  read  and  fully  understand  all of  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement,  which sets forth the entire agreement between the parties. Except as
set forth above,  this  Agreement  supersedes  any and all prior  agreements  or
understandings  between the parties and all  corporate  policies,  practices  or
procedures pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement.  If any provision
of this Agreement is unenforceable for any reason,  it shall be interpreted,  to
the extent possible to enhance its enforceability in order to achieve the intent
of the parties and, if not possible,  the provision  shall be stricken from this
Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
as  applied  to  certain  circumstances,   shall  not  effect  the  validity  or
enforceability of such provision as applied to other  circumstances or any other
provision of this  Agreement.  In any action arising out of, or relating to this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  party  shall be  entitled  to recover all costs and
attorneys' fees incurred therein.

         2.       Employment Compensation.

                  2.1 Mr.  Krishnamurthy  confirms and acknowledges  that he has
received  payment  for all  salary,  commissions,  bonuses,  accrued  but unused
vacation and compensation in any other form that is currently due and payable to
him by  Worldtalk  in  connection  with  his  employment  as of the date of this
Agreement.  Mr.  Krishnamurthy's salary and other compensation as an officer and
employee terminated when his employment terminated on the Effective Date.

                  2.2  Worldtalk  has an  obligation  to make  available  to Mr.
Krishnamurthy  any  medical or  disability  insurance  coverage  under  policies
Worldtalk carries for its employees  generally,  as required by the Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (commonly known as "COBRA"). Mr. Krishnamurthy
has  informed  Worldtalk  that he does not require any such  insurance  coverage
after the Effective Date.

                  2.3 Except for the payment  described in Section 5 below,  Mr.
Krishnamurthy  agrees  that he has no claim for any salary,  vacation,  bonus or
similar payment relating to his employment with Worldtalk.

         3.  Services as an  Advisor.  Commencing  on the  Effective  Date,  Mr.
Krishnamurthy  has held  himself,  and will hold  himself,  available to provide
advisory  services to Worldtalk  until the close of business on October 30, 1998
(the "Advisory Period"). Services are to be provided during the Advisory Period,
upon the request of Worldtalk's President, for no more than eight hours per week
(any period shorter than one week to include a proportionate number of hours) at
such  times and  places as are  mutually  convenient  to Mr.  Krishnamurthy  and
Worldtalk.  However, Mr. Krishnamurthy's services will be performed at times and
places that do not reasonably conflict with Mr. Krishnamurthy's responsibilities
to his then current employer.  Mr.  Krishnamurthy's duties as an advisor will be
to  perform  financial  services  and to help  transition  knowledge  concerning
Worldtalk's sales and marketing status and systems directly to management and to
other members of Worldtalk's sales and marketing departments.

                  3.1 Mr.  Krishnamurthy  acknowledges  that his  services as an
advisor are being provided as an independent  contractor and that he will not be
deemed an employee or agent of Worldtalk or have the power to bind  Worldtalk to
any contract or agreement.  Mr. Krishnamurthy will be accorded the customary and
usual

                                       9

independence  associated with such status and will be responsible for payment of
all income,  social  security or other payroll taxes incurred in connection with
payments to Mr. Krishnamurthy as a result of this services arrangement.

                  3.2  In  return  for  Mr.  Krishnamurthy's   availability  and
requested  services  during  the  Advisory  Period,  Worldtalk  will  pay to Mr.
Krishnamurthy  [**] for each hour per week actually worked by Mr.  Krishnamurthy
(any such hours to be expressly  preapproved by Worldtalk's  President  prior to
being worked). All amounts are to be paid, as earned during the Advisory Period,
on the 15th day of each month for hours worked during the previous month.

         4. Return of  Worldtalk  Property.  Mr.  Krishnamurthy  has returned to
Worldtalk all files, memoranda,  records (and copies thereof),  credit cards and
other  physical or personal  property that Mr.  Krishnamurthy  has received from
Worldtalk and that are the property of Worldtalk.  Any such property received by
Mr.  Krishnamurthy during the Advisory Period will be returned to Worldtalk upon
expiration or termination of such period.

         5.       [**]

         6.   Confidentiality.   The  Proprietary  Rights  and   Confidentiality
Agreement entered into by Mr. Krishnamurthy in favor of Worldtalk will remain in
full force and  effect  after the  Effective  Date and will not be  modified  or
terminated by this Agreement.

         7. General Provisions.  The parties represent and acknowledge that they
have  carefully  read  and  fully  understand  all of  the  provisions  of  this
Agreement,  which sets forth the entire agreement between the parties. Except as
set forth above,  this  Agreement  supersedes  any and all prior  agreements  or
understandings  between the parties and all  corporate  policies,  practices  or
procedures pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement.  If any provision
of this Agreement is unenforceable for any reason,  it shall be interpreted,  to
the extent possible to enhance its enforceability in order to achieve the intent
of the parties and, if not possible,  the provision  shall be stricken from this
Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement
as  applied  to  certain  circumstances,   shall  not  effect  the  validity  or
enforceability of such provision as applied to other  circumstances or any other
provision of this  Agreement.  In any action arising out of, or relating to this
Agreement,  the  prevailing  party  shall be  entitled  to recover all costs and
attorneys' fees incurred therein.
