                             MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

       THIS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT is entered into effective as of January 1,
2000 by and between NORTHSTAR COMPUTER FORMS, INC., a Minnesota corporation
(the "Company"), and STAN KLARENBEEK ("Klarenbeek").

                                 WITNESSETH:

       WHEREAS, Klarenbeek is a key member of the management of the Company
and has heretofore devoted substantial skill and effort to the affairs of the
Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") desires to
recognize the significant personal contribution that Klarenbeek has made to
further the best interests of the Company and its shareholders;

       WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders to continue to obtain the benefits of Klarenbeek's continued
services and attention to the affairs of the Company;

       WHEREAS, Klarenbeek and the Company are parties to an Employment
Agreement dated as of May 1, 1990 (the "Existing Employment Agreement"), and
the parties desire that this Management Agreement terminate the Employment
Agreement and provide for the terms and conditions of Klarenbeek's continued
employment;

       WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders to provide inducement for Klarenbeek (i) to remain in the
service of the Company in the event of any proposed or anticipated change in
control of the Company and (ii) to remain in the service of the Company in
order to facilitate an orderly transition in the event of a change in control
of the Company; and

       WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge that the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, including the severance package, stock options and change in
control payments contained herein, provide separate and valuable
consideration for the Non-Compete Covenant contained herein.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and Klarenbeek agree
as follows:

     1.   EMPLOYMENT.  Klarenbeek agrees to continue to serve as a full-time
employee of the Company in the capacity of Vice President.  Klarenbeek agrees
to faithfully and diligently perform the acts and duties of his office and
devote his best efforts on a full-time basis.  Klarenbeek shall also perform
such other duties as are consistent with his position, as are reasonably
assigned to him by the President and/or Board of Directors of the Company
(the "Board").

                                       1

     2.   EMPLOYMENT PERIOD.  The term of Klarenbeek's employment under this
Agreement will begin immediately and end on December 31, 2004, unless
extended by mutual agreement or sooner terminated by one of the parties
pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof (the "Employment Period").

     3.   COMPENSATION AND RELATED MATTERS.  The Company shall pay Klarenbeek
compensation and benefits as follows:

     (a)  BASE COMPENSATION.  During the Employment Period, the Company shall
     pay to Klarenbeek an annual base salary of $112,000.  Klarenbeek's salary
     may be further reviewed and adjusted periodically (upward, but not
     downward) as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
     "Compensation Committee") and adopted by the Board.

     (b)  BONUS.  Klarenbeek shall also be entitled to a bonus from time to time
     in the discretion of the Compensation Committee and/or the Board.

     (c)  STOCK OPTIONS.  Klarenbeek shall also be entitled to receive stock
     options (the "Options") pursuant to the Company's 1994 Employees' Incentive
     Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") or otherwise in the discretion of the
     Compensation Committee and/or the Board.

     (d)  PARTICIPATION IN BENEFITS.  During the Employment Period, Klarenbeek
     shall be entitled to participate in employee benefits offered generally by
     the Company to its employees, to the extent that Klarenbeek's position,
     tenure, salary, health, and other qualifications make him eligible to
     participate.  Klarenbeek's participation in such benefits shall be subject
     to the terms of the applicable plans, as the same may be amended from time
     to time. Following the termination of his employment, Klarenbeek (or any of
     his dependents participating in such coverage) shall have the right to
     purchase health care coverage through the Company's health benefit plan as
     a retiree (or dependent of a retiree) at a rate equal to the average per
     employee cost incurred by the Company until Klarenbeek (or such dependent)
     reaches Medicare eligibility.

     (e)  EXPENSES.  During the Employment Period, Klarenbeek shall be entitled
     to receive prompt reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred by
     Klarenbeek in performing services hereunder; provided, however, that
     Klarenbeek complies with the Company's policies and procedures established
     from time to time to document such expenses.

     (f)  VACATION AND OTHER BENEFITS.  Klarenbeek shall be entitled to such
     paid vacation and other benefits as shall be in effect from time to time
     for senior executive officers of the Company.

     4.   TERMINATION AND COMPENSATION DUE ON TERMINATION.  Klarenbeek's
employment hereunder may be terminated subject to the following provisions and
obligations:

     (a)  DEATH OR DISABILITY.  Klarenbeek's employment hereunder shall
     terminate upon his death, or in the event that Klarenbeek becomes disabled
     by reason of a medical condition

                                       2
<PAGE>

     (physical or non-physical) pursuant to which he cannot timely perform the
     material duties of his position with the Company (such determination to be
     based on Klarenbeek's qualifying for disability benefits under his
     long-term disability insurance policy with the Company), and no further
     payment of salary, any benefits or other payment in connection with
     Klarenbeek's employment shall be due from the Company to Klarenbeek or
     Klarenbeek's estate under this Agreement thereafter, except for salary and
     bonus (if any) accrued, and Options vested through the date of death or
     disability.

     (b)  CAUSE.  The Company may terminate Klarenbeek's employment hereunder
     for "Cause," which shall mean (i) fraud, dishonesty, gross negligence, or
     willful malfeasance by Klarenbeek in connection with the performance of his
     duties hereunder, (ii) conviction of Klarenbeek of a felony, (iii)
     insubordination or other substantial failure, refusal or negligence by
     Klarenbeek in fulfilling his duties and obligations hereunder, which breach
     or failure Klarenbeek fails to remedy within ten (10) days after written
     demand from the Board, or (iv) violation of the terms and conditions of
     this Agreement, including without limitation, the Non-Compete Covenant
     provided in Section 8 hereof. In the event that Klarenbeek's employment is
     terminated hereunder for Cause, the Company shall have no further
     obligations to Klarenbeek in connection with Klarenbeek's employment except
     for salary accrued through the date of termination.

     (c)  VOLUNTARY TERMINATION.  Until Klarenbeek reaches the age of 63, upon
     any voluntary termination of employment by Klarenbeek, the Company shall
     pay Klarenbeek a severance payment (the "Voluntary Termination Severance")
     equal to one-half of Klarenbeek's base salary for the last completed
     calendar year prior to the date of termination plus any bonus paid for such
     year and shall have no further obligations to Klarenbeek except as provided
     by law.  After Klarenbeek reaches the age of 63, the Voluntary Termination
     Severance shall end.

     (d)  WITHOUT CAUSE.  The Company may terminate Klarenbeek's employment
     hereunder at any time without "Cause" (as defined above), for any reason or
     no reason.  Upon any such termination of Klarenbeek, Klarenbeek shall be
     entitled to receive a severance payment (the "Involuntary Termination
     Severance") equal to one times Klarenbeek's base salary for the last
     completed calendar year prior to the date of termination plus any bonus
     paid for such year, and he shall immediately vest in all of the unvested
     Options. The amount of the Involuntary Termination Severance shall remain
     in effect until Klarenbeek reaches the age of 64; once Klarenbeek reaches
     the age of 64, the amount of the Involuntary Termination Severance shall be
     reduced to the amount of the Voluntary Termination Severance; and upon
     Klarenbeek reaching the age of 65, he shall no longer be entitled to any
     Involuntary Termination Severance.

     (e)  CHANGE IN CONTROL.  The Company or its successor may terminate
     Klarenbeek's employment hereunder or Klarenbeek may terminate his
     employment with the Company under circumstances which would constitute a
     "Constructive Involuntary Termination" (as defined in Section 5.1 below),
     in the event of a change in control of the Company, in which case, in
     addition to and not by way of limitation of the provisions contained in
     this

                                       3
<PAGE>

     Section 4, but subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(f) below relating
     to Parachute Payments, the provisions of Section 5 shall control.

5.   CHANGE IN CONTROL.  For a period commencing on the date of this
Agreement and ending on the later of (i) December 31, 2001, or (ii) if the
Commencement Date (as defined in Section 5.3(c)) occurs on or prior to
December 31, 2001 (or prior to the end of any extension of such date then in
effect as provided for in clause (i) hereof, which period may be
automatically extended for one year intervals from year to year thereafter by
agreement of Klarenbeek and the Board), the second anniversary of the
Commencement Date, (hereafter, the "Change in Control Term"), the provisions
of this Section 5 shall control in the event an Event (as herein defined)
shall occur during the Change in Control Term.

5.1  EVENTS.  For purposes of this Agreement an "Event" shall be deemed to
have occurred if any of the following occur:

     (a)  Any "person" (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor statute thereto (the "Exchange
     Act")) acquires or becomes a "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3
     or any successor rule under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of
     securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting
     power of the Company's then outstanding securities entitled to vote
     generally in the election of directors ("Voting Securities") or 30% or more
     of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"),
     provided, however, that the following shall not constitute an Event
     pursuant to this Section 5.1(a): (i) any acquisition of beneficial
     ownership by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; (ii) any
     acquisition of beneficial ownership by any employee benefit plan (or
     related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or one or more of its
     subsidiaries; (iii) any acquisition of beneficial ownership by any
     corporation (including without limitation an acquisition in a transaction
     of the nature described in Section 5.1(c)) with respect to which,
     immediately following such acquisition, more than 70%, respectively, of (x)
     the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding Voting
     Securities and (y) the Common Stock is then beneficially owned, directly or
     indirectly, by all or substantially all of the persons who beneficially
     owned the Voting Securities and Common Stock, respectively, of the Company
     immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportions
     as their ownership of such Voting Securities and Common Stock, as the case
     may be, immediately prior to such acquisition.

     (b)  Continuing Directors shall not constitute a majority of the members of
     the Board.  For purposes of this Section 5.1(b), "Continuing Directors"
     shall mean: (i) individuals who, on the date hereof, are directors of the
     Company, (ii) individuals elected as directors of the Company subsequent to
     the date hereof for whose election proxies shall have been solicited by the
     Board, or (iii) any individual elected or appointed by the Board to fill
     vacancies on the Board caused by death or resignation (but not by removal)
     or to fill newly-created directorships, provided that a "Continuing
     Director" shall not include an individual whose initial assumption of
     office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with
     respect to the threatened election

                                       4
<PAGE>

     or removal of directors (or other actual or threatened solicitation of
     proxies or consents) by or on behalf of any person other than the Board.

     (c)  Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of the
     Company (other than a merger or consolidation with a subsidiary of the
     Company) or a statutory exchange of outstanding Voting Securities or Common
     Stock, unless immediately following such reorganization, merger,
     consolidation or exchange, all or substantially all of the persons who were
     the beneficial owners, respectively, of Voting Securities and Common Stock
     immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange
     beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 70% of, respectively,
     (i) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
     entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (ii) the then
     outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
     reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange in substantially the same
     proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such reorganization,
     merger, consolidation or exchange, of the Voting Securities and Common
     Stock, as the case may be.

     (d)  (i) Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete
     liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (ii) the sale or other
     disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (in
     one or a series of transactions), other than to a corporation with respect
     to which, immediately following such sale or other disposition, more than
     70% of, respectively, (x) the combined voting power of the then outstanding
     voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the
     election of directors and (y) the then outstanding shares of common stock
     of such corporation is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by
     all or substantially all of the persons who were the beneficial owners,
     respectively, of the Voting Securities and Common Stock immediately prior
     to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportions as
     their ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of
     the Voting Securities and Common Stock, as the case may be.

     (e)  The Company enters into a letter of intent, an agreement in principle
     or a definitive agreement relating to an Event described in Section 5.1(a),
     5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) hereof that ultimately results in such an Event,
     or a tender or exchange offer or proxy contest is commenced which
     ultimately results in an Event described in Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b)
     hereof.

     (f)  There shall be an involuntary termination or Constructive Involuntary
     Termination (as defined in Section 5.2(d) hereof) of employment of
     Klarenbeek, and Klarenbeek reasonably demonstrates that such event (i) was
     requested by a party other than the Board that had previously taken other
     steps reasonably calculated to result in an Event described in Section
     5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) hereof and which ultimately results in an
     Event described in Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) hereof, or (ii)
     otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of an Event described
     in Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d) hereof that ultimately occurs.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Each of the foregoing Events (or combination thereof) is referred to herein
as a "Sale Transaction," and the aggregate amount received by either the
Company or its shareholders in the Sale Transaction is referred to herein as
the "Sale Transaction Price."

     Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section 5.1, an Event shall not
be deemed to occur with respect to Klarenbeek if (x) the acquisition of
beneficial ownership of the 30% or greater interest referred to in Section
5.1(a) is by Klarenbeek or by a group, acting in concert, organized by
present management of the Company and including Klarenbeek or (y) a majority
of the then combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
(or voting equity interests) of the surviving corporation or of any
corporation (or other entity) acquiring all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company shall, immediately after a reorganization, merger,
consolidation, statutory share exchange or disposition of assets referred to
in Section 5.1(c) or 5.1(d), is beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,
by Klarenbeek or by a group, acting in concert, organized by present
management of the Company and including Klarenbeek.

5.2  CHANGE IN CONTROL PAYMENTS AND BENEFITS.  If any Event shall occur
during the Change in Control Term, then Klarenbeek shall be entitled to
receive from the Company or its successor (which term as used herein shall
include any person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company) cash payments and other benefits on the following basis (unless
Klarenbeek's employment by the Company is terminated voluntarily or
involuntarily prior to the occurrence of the earliest Event to occur (the
"First Event"), in which case Klarenbeek shall be entitled to no payment or
benefits under this Section 5, but still may be entitled to payments and
benefits under Section 4 hereof):

     (a)  A cash payment payable in two installments (the "Transaction
     Completion Bonus") equal to Klarenbeek's proportionate share (as described
     below) of a fund to be established by the Company or its successor equal to
     1% of the Sale Transaction Price (the "Fund"), payable one half at closing
     or completion of an Event described in Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or
     5.1(d), and the remainder on the one year anniversary of such date (the
     "Transaction Anniversary Date"), provided Klarenbeek's employment with the
     Company or its successor is either (i) still in effect on the Transaction
     Anniversary Date or (ii) not in effect on the Transaction Anniversary Date
     as a result of a Constructive Involuntary Termination (as defined in
     Section 5.1 hereof) or a termination by the Company or its successor for a
     reason other than for Cause (as defined in Section 4(b) hereof).
     Klarenbeek's proportionate share of the Fund shall be calculated as
     follows: multiply the amount of the Fund by a fraction, the numerator of
     which is Klarenbeek's 1999 base salary and the denominator of which is the
     aggregate 1999 base salary paid by the Company to its four executive
     officers other than its Chief Executive Officer.

     (b)  If at the time of, or at any time after, the occurrence of the First
     Event and prior to the end of the Transition Period (as defined in Section
     5.3(c)), the employment of Klarenbeek with the Company is voluntarily or
     involuntarily terminated for any reason (unless such termination is a
     voluntary termination by Klarenbeek other than a Constructive Involuntary
     Termination or is on account of the death or Disability of

                                       6
<PAGE>

     Klarenbeek or is a termination by the Company for Cause), Klarenbeek (or
     Klarenbeek's legal representative, as the case may be), subject to the
     limitations set forth in Section 5.2(f), shall be entitled to receive from
     the Company or its successor, upon such termination of employment with the
     Company or its successor, a cash payment in an amount equal to a multiple
     of Klarenbeek's "Average Annual Compensation" (as defined in the last
     sentence of this paragraph) ending before the First Event (other than an
     Event described in Section 5(e) or 5(f) unless Klarenbeek is terminated
     prior to the occurrence of an Event described in Section 5(a), 5(b), 5(c)
     or 5(d)), as described in the next sentence.  If Klarenbeek's employment
     with the Company or its successor is terminated at any time up to and
     including the Transaction Anniversary Date, Klarenbeek shall be entitled to
     receive 1.50 times the Average Annual Compensation; if terminated within
     two calendar months thereafter, 1.42 times the Average Annual Compensation;
     if terminated within two calendar months thereafter, 1.33 times the Average
     Annual Compensation; if terminated within two calendar months thereafter,
     1.25 times the Average Annual Compensation; if terminated within two
     calendar months thereafter, 1.17 times the Average Annual Compensation; if
     terminated within two calendar months thereafter, 1.08 times the Average
     Annual Compensation; and, if terminated at any time after such date until
     the end of the Transition Period, 1.00 times the Average Annual
     Compensation.  If Klarenbeek is terminated at any time after the conclusion
     of the Transition Period, Klarenbeek shall not be entitled to any
     compensation under this provision.  For purposes of this Agreement,
     "Average Annual Compensation" shall mean Klarenbeek's average annual
     compensation from the Company included in his gross income for federal
     income tax purposes for the period consisting of the five most recently
     completed calendar years ending before the date of termination.

     (c)  The payments provided for in this Section 5.2 shall be in addition to
     any other remuneration otherwise payable to Klarenbeek on account of
     employment by the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries or its
     successor (including any amounts received prior to such termination of
     employment for personal services rendered after the occurrence of the First
     Event) but shall be the aggregate amount payable to Klarenbeek under this
     Agreement shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(f)
     below relating to Parachute Payments.

     (d)  In the event that at any time from the date of the First Event until
     the end of the Transition Period,

          (i)   Klarenbeek shall not be given substantially equivalent or
                greater title, duties, responsibilities and authority or
                substantially equivalent or greater salary and other
                remuneration and fringe benefits (including paid vacation), in
                each case as compared with Klarenbeek's status immediately prior
                to the First Event other than for Cause or on account of
                Disability,

          (ii)  the Company shall have failed to obtain assumption of this
                Agreement by any successor as contemplated by Section 10(b)
                hereof,

                                       7
<PAGE>

          (iii) the Company shall require Klarenbeek to relocate to any place
                other than a location within twenty-five miles of the location
                at which Klarenbeek performed his duties immediately prior to
                the First Event, or

          (iv)  the Company shall require that Klarenbeek travel on Company
                business to a substantially greater extent than required
                immediately prior to the First Event,

     a termination of employment with the Company by Klarenbeek thereafter shall
     constitute a "Constructive Involuntary Termination."

     (e)  Klarenbeek shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
     or other benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment
     or otherwise, nor (except as specifically provided in Section 5.2(f) below)
     shall the amount of any payment or other benefit provided for in this
     Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Klarenbeek as the result
     of employment by another employer after termination, or otherwise.

     (f)  "PARACHUTE PAYMENTS". Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
     contained herein except the last sentence of this Section 5.2(f), if the
     lump sum cash payment due and the other benefits to which Klarenbeek shall
     become entitled under this Agreement, either alone or together with other
     payments in the nature of compensation to Klarenbeek which are contingent
     on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the
     ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (a "Change
     in Control Arrangement") or otherwise, would constitute a "parachute
     payment" as defined in Section 28OG of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
     (the "Code") or any successor provision thereto, such lump sum payment
     and/or such other benefits and payments shall be reduced (but not below
     zero) to the largest aggregate amount as will result in no portion thereof
     being subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or
     any successor provision thereto) or being non-deductible to the Company for
     federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 28OG of the Code (or any
     successor provision thereto).  Klarenbeek in good faith shall determine the
     amount of any reduction to be made pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) and
     shall select from among the foregoing benefits and payments those which
     shall be reduced.  No modification of, or successor provision to, Section
     28OG or Section 4999 subsequent to the date of this Agreement shall,
     however, reduce the benefits to which Klarenbeek would be entitled under
     this Agreement in the absence of this Section 5.2(f) to a greater extent
     than they would have been reduced if Section 28OG and Section 4999 had not
     been modified or superseded subsequent to the date of this Agreement,
     notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the first sentence of
     this Section 5.2(f).

     read and considered all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
     has had the opportunity to consult counsel regarding the negotiation and
     execution hereof.  Klarenbeek further acknowledges that money damages would
     not be a measurable or adequate remedy for Klarenbeek's breach of any of
     the covenants contained in this Agreement, and, accordingly, in addition to
     and without limiting any other remedy available to the Company in the event
     of such a breach, Klarenbeek agrees, notwithstanding the provisions of
     Section 9(b) hereof, to submit to the equitable jurisdiction of any court
     of competent personal and subject matter jurisdiction in connection with

     breach of it, or the making of this Agreement, including claims of fraud in
     the inducement, or any dispute arising from or related in any way to
     Klarenbeek's employment, including any statutory or tort claims, which has
     not been settled through negotiation within a period of thirty (30) days
     after the date on which either party shall first have notified the other
     party in writing of the existence of a dispute, shall be settled by final
     and binding arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and
     under the then applicable arbitration rules of the American Arbitration
     Association ("AAA"), unless such rules are inconsistent with the provisions
     of this Agreement.  Any such arbitration shall be conducted by: (a) neutral
     arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the parties; or (b) failing
     such agreement, in accordance with said rules.  An arbitrator's award may

     documents by the other party, the exchange of witness lists, and a limited
     number of depositions, including depositions of any expert who will testify
     at the arbitration. The summary judgment procedure applicable in Hennepin
     County, Minnesota, District Court, shall be available and apply to any
     arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement.  Subject to the
     provisions of Section 8(c) below, the arbitrator shall have the authority
     to award to the prevailing party any remedy or relief that a court of the
     State of Minnesota could order or grant, including costs and attorneys'

     10.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

(a)       This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
          successors, legal representatives and assigns of the parties hereto;
          provided, however, that Klarenbeek shall not have any right to assign,
          pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer any interest in this
          Agreement or any payments hereunder, whether directly or indirectly or
          in whole or in part, without the written consent of the Company or its
          successor.

     (b)  The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect by
     purchase of a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company or
     all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or by merger,
     consolidation or otherwise), by agreement in form and substance
     satisfactory to Klarenbeek, to assume expressly and agree to perform this
     Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
     be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  Failure
     of the Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any
     such succession (other than in the case of a merger or consolidation) shall
     be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Klarenbeek to compensation
     from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as Klarenbeek
     would be entitled hereunder if Klarenbeek terminated his employment on
     account of a Constructive Involuntary Termination, except that for purposes
     of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession
     becomes effective shall be deemed the date of termination.  As used in this
     Agreement "Company" shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any
     successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which is required to
     execute and deliver the agreement provided for in this Section 10(b) or
     which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this
     Agreement by operation of law.

     11.  BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Company, it's successors, assigns and affiliates.

     12.  WAIVER.  The failure of the Company to insist on the strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right,
power or remedy upon a breach by Klarenbeek shall not constitute a waiver of
that or any other provision of this Agreement.  A waiver on any one occasion
shall not be deemed to be a waiver for subsequent occasions.

     13.  SURVIVAL AND SEVERABILITY.  The terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall survive the termination of Klarenbeek's employment with the
Company to the full extent necessary for their enforcement and for the
protection of the Company, it's successors, assigns and affiliates.  If for
any reason any portion of any provision of this Agreement is declared
invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the
validity and binding effect of any remaining provisions of this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent possible as if
this Agreement had been executed with the invalid, void or unenforceable
portion or provision eliminated.  In the event that any provision of this
Agreement relating to time periods and/or areas of restriction shall be
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to exceed the maximum time
periods or areas such court deems reasonable and enforceable, said

                                       11
<PAGE>

time periods and/or areas of restriction shall be deemed to become and
thereafter be the maximum time periods and/or areas which such court deems
reasonable and enforceable.

     14.  PRIOR AGREEMENTS.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement of
the parties relating to the employment of Klarenbeek by the Company and the
other matters discussed herein and supercedes all prior promises, contracts,
agreements, and understandings of any kind, whether express or implied, oral
