    AGREEMENT

              Terms of
      Employment

            


    

     

    
      	
              1.1  

            	
              Commencement
      Date.  This Agreement shall become effective on August

              1.2  

            	
              Position.  The

              Personal

              Extension of
      Provisions.  At the end of the Original Term, the

      for an Additional Term, unless either party gives notice of nonrenewable
      at least ninety (90) days before the scheduled expiration of the
      term.

            


    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              3.

              3.1  

            	
              Salary.  For
      all services rendered by Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
      will pay Executive an annual base salary (“Base Compensation”) equal to
      Two Hundred-Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).  Payment will
      occur at regular payroll intervals in accordance with the Company’s
      standard payroll practices.  The Company’s CEO and compensation
      committee of the Board or the Board itself will review the Executive’s
      compensation annually and, in its sole discretion, may determine to
      increase such base salary for the following year but cannot decrease the
      annual salary below $250,000.

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.2  

            	
              Incentive
      Compensation.  In addition to Executive’s Base
      Compensation, Executive will be eligible to earn additional cash incentive
      compensation in a target range of between 0% and 70% of Base Compensation
      in each year of employment during the Original Term or any Additional Term
      (“Incentive Compensation”).  Executive’s potential Incentive
      Compensation for fiscal year 2008 will be determined in accordance with
      the 2008 Annual Management Incentive Plan attached as Exhibit B (“AMIP”),
      and will be prorated on a 5/12 basis to reflect his partial service during
      2008.  For purposes of the AMIP, Executive is a leader of an SSU
      and is eligible to participate in the AMIP.  Executive
      understands that the AMIP set forth in Exhibit B applies only to fiscal
      year 2008, and in the sole discretion of the Company will be replaced,
      amended or eliminated for fiscal years after
  2008.

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.3  

            	
              Long-Term Incentive
      Compensation.  In addition, Executive shall be eligible
      to be awarded stock options or restricted shares from the Company’s stock
      option and equity incentive plans at the sole discretion of the
      compensation committee.

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.4  

            	
              Stock
      Options.  On or about August 25, 2008, Executive will be
      granted options to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock
      with one-quarter being vested immediately and the remainder vesting on the
      anniversary date hereof in even increments over three years from the date
      of the grant.

            


    

     

     

    Such
options shall be incentive stock options to the extent that such options qualify
as incentive stock options as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section
422.  The Company may issue such options from the plans as it deems
appropriate but to the extent possible shall issue the options as incentive
stock options.  The stock option agreement shall provide that in the
event of a Change of Control on or after the effective date of this Agreement,
any options remaining unvested at the time of the Change of Control shall vest
immediately.  For purposes of this Section 3.4, “Change of Control”
shall have the same meaning as set forth in Exhibit A.  Executive
shall sign an option agreement or agreements containing the terms for the
options outlined herein and such other terms and conditions required of
similarly situated executives by the Company as determined by the Board or the
compensation committee of the Board.

      Executive Retirement Plan” or “Restated SERP”) at a participation rate of
      fifteen percent (15%) of Base
Compensation.

            


    

     

    
      	
              3.6

      Company will also provide Executive the

      long as such expenses are incurred, documented and authorized pursuant to

              6.

              6.1  

            	
              For
      Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Company will
      have the right to terminate Executive’s employment for
      Cause.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall
      mean:

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.1.1  

            	
              Executive’s
      substantial failure or neglect, or refusal to perform, the duties and
      responsibilities of Executive’s position and/or the reasonable direction
      of the CEO;

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.1.2

      performance of the Company;

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.1.3  

            	
              Executive’s
      conviction of, or Executive’s guilty or nolo contendere plea with respect

felony;

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.1.4  

            	
              Executive’s
      conviction of, or Executive’s guilty or nolo contendere plea with respect
      to, any crime involving moral turpitude;
or

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.1.5  

            	
              Any
      bar against Executive from serving as a director, officer or executive of
      any firm the securities of which are publicly
  traded.

            


    

     

    For
purposes of this Section 6.1, an act or failure to act by Executive shall not be
“willful” unless it is done, or omitted to be done, in bad faith and without any
reasonable belief that Executive’s action or omission was in the best interests
of the Company.

     

    
      	
              6.2  

            	
              Inability to
      Perform.  For purposes of this Agreement, the Company
      will have the right to terminate Executive’s employment upon the
      occurrence of any of the following events (“Inability to
      Perform”):

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.2.1  

            	
              Executive
      becomes unable to perform the essential functions of Executive’s position
      for a period of at least ninety (90) days to the extent that, in the
      reasonable determination of the CEO, he is no longer able to report to
      work and to carry on his duties on behalf of the Company;
    or

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.2.2  

            	
              Executive
      dies.

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.2.3  

            	
              Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2, if and to the extent the
      Company’s CEO and compensation committee of the Board determine, in their
      sole discretion and in accordance with the performance objectives set
      forth in the AMIP attached as Exhibit B, that Executive should be paid
      Incentive Compensation for the portion of the fiscal year prior to any
      such termination for Inability to Perform, Executive shall be paid such
      amount within thirty (30) days after the Company’s CEO and compensation
      committee of the Board make such determination.  For the
      avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Inability to Perform, Executive
      understands that he shall have no right to any such Incentive
      Compensation, and whether or not he receives Incentive Compensation in
      such event is solely a matter of discretion for the Company’s CEO and
      compensation committee of the Board to
  determine.

            


    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    
      	
              6.3  

            	
              Notice.  In
      the event that the CEO determines that Cause for termination exists, the
      CEO shall deliver to Executive written notice that an event of Cause has
      occurred after which Executive shall have fifteen (15) days to cure such
      event of Cause to the reasonable satisfaction of the
  CEO.

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.4  

            	
              Termination for
      Cause/Inability to Perform.  The Company may terminate
      Executive’s employment at any time for Cause as defined within this
      Agreement after giving Executive the notice and Executive’s failure to
      cure pursuant to Section 6.3 above and in any such case will have no
      further obligation or liability to Executive.  Likewise, if the
      Company terminates Executive for Inability to Perform, the Company will
      have no further obligation or liability to Executive except (and only) as
      stated in Section 6.2.3 above and except for offering continuation of
      benefits as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
      (“COBRA”) and the regulations promulgated
  thereunder.

            


    

     

    
      	
              6.5  

            	
              Termination Without
      Cause.  Executive’s employment during the Original Term
      or any Additional Term may be terminated by the Company without Cause upon
      thirty (30) days’ notice.  If the Company terminates Executive’s
      employment without Cause during the Original Term or during any Additional
      Term, Executive will continue to receive Base Compensation for a period of
      twelve (12) months, provided that Executive signs all appropriate
      paperwork, including a full release of all claims to the Company, in a
      form acceptable to the Company.  The Company will also reimburse
      Executive for medical insurance premium payments made under COBRA, for a
      period of up to six (6) months following the date of termination, provided
      that the Company receives sufficient evidence of proof of such payments
      during the COBRA period.  For purposes of this Section 6.5,
      termination of Executive’s employment due to nonrenewal of Executive’s
      employment agreement at the end of the Original Term or any Additional
      Term, shall be deemed a termination without Cause and entitle Executive to
      the payments and benefits set forth in this Section
  6.5.

            




    
      	
              7.  

            	
              Termination of
      Employment by Executive.

            


    

     

    
      	
              7.1  

            	
              Resignation for Good
      Reason.  If Executive believes Good Reason to resign
      exists, before resigning, he must first give the Company written notice of
      the alleged Good Reason and an opportunity to cure within fifteen (15)
      days of notice if feasible.  If Executive resigns from his
      employment for Good Reason, he will continue to receive Base Compensation
      for a period of twelve (12) months, provided that Executive signs all
      appropriate paperwork, including a full release of all claims to the
      Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The
      Company will also reimburse Executive for all medical insurance premium
      payments, made under COBRA, for a period of up to six (6) months following
      the date of resignation for Good Reason, provided that the Company
      receives sufficient evidence of proof of such payments during the COBRA
      period.

            


    

     

    For
purposes of this Section 7.1 (and not for the purpose of determining

      corporation headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Pursuant
      to Minnesota Statutes § 181.78, Executive is hereby notified that the
      foregoing agreement does not apply to an invention for which no equipment,
      supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and
      which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, and (1) which
      does not relate (a) directly to the business of the Company (or its
      Clients) or (b) to the Company’s (or its Clients’) actual or demonstrably
      anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any
      work performed by the employee for the Company or its
      Clients.  For purposes of this Section 10.4, the term “Client”
      shall have the same meaning as set forth in Section 14.2 of this

              10.5  

            	
              Works for
      Hire.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that all
      original works of authorship which are made by Executive (solely or
      jointly with others) within the scope of his employment and which are
      protectable by copyrights, are “works made for hire” as that term is
      defined in the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 101) and that, as
      such, all rights comprising copyright under the United States Copyright
      laws will vest solely and exclusively in his employer, the
      Company.  Executive hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
      waives all so-called moral rights that may vest in Executive (whether
      before, on or after the date hereof) in connection with Executive’s
      authorship of any copyright works in the course of his employment with the
      Company, wherever in the world enforceable, including without limitation
      the right to be identified as the author of any such works and the right
      of integrity (i.e., not to have any
      such works subjected to derogatory treatment), and Executive agrees never
      to assert any such moral rights with respect to any Company
      Invention.

      Cooperation.  Executive agrees to perform, during and
      after his employment, all acts deemed necessary or desirable by the
      Company to permit and assist it, at its sole expense, in obtaining and
      enforcing the full benefits, enjoyment, rights and title throughout the
      world in the Company Inventions hereby assigned to the
      Company.  Such acts may include, but are not limited to,
      execution of documents and assistance or cooperation in the registration
      and enforcement of applicable patents, copyrights, maskworks or other
      legal proceedings.

              Attorney in

      reason, whether during or after Executive’s employment by the Company, to
      secure Executive’s signature to any document required to apply for or
      execute any patent, design rights, registered designs, trademarks,
      copyright, maskwork or other applications with respect to any Company
      Inventions (including improvements, renewals, extensions, continuations,
      divisions or continuations in part thereof), Executive hereby irrevocably
      designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and
      agents as Executive’s agents and attorneys-in-fact to act for and on his
      behalf and instead of Executive, to execute and file any such application
      and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and
      issuance of patents, copyrights, maskworks or other rights thereon with
      the same legal force and effect as if executed by

      to Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined).  During
      the course of his employment with the Company, the Company agrees to
      provide Executive with access to Confidential
      Information.  Executive expressly undertakes to retain in strict

      use of such information except as (and then, only to the extent) required
      to perform Executive’s employment duties for the
      Company.  Executive will take such protective measures as may be
      reasonably necessary to preserve the secrecy and interest of the Company
      in the Confidential Information.  If Executive becomes aware of
      any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information by any
      person or entity, Executive will promptly and fully advise the Company of
      all facts known to Executive concerning such unauthorized use or
      disclosure.

              Definition.  “Confidential
      Information” means all commercially sensitive information and data of a
      confidential nature, in their broadest context, originated by, on behalf
      of or within the knowledge or possession of the Company or its clients
      (including any subsidiary, division or legal affiliate

      has been designated as proprietary and/or confidential; information
      constituting trade secrets; information of a confidential nature that, by
      the nature of the circumstances surrounding the disclosure, should in good
      faith be treated as proprietary and/or confidential; and information and
      data conceived, discovered or developed in whole or in part by Executive
      while employed by the Company. Confidential Information also includes
      information of a confidential nature relating to the Company’s clients,
      prospective clients, strategic business relationships, business
      opportunities, products, services, suppliers, personnel, pricing,
      recruiting strategies, job candidate information, employee information,

      becomes part of the public domain through no act or omission of Executive;
      (C) was in Executive’s lawful possession prior to the disclosure and was
      not obtained by Executive in breach, either directly or indirectly, of any
      obligation to the Company or any client of the Company’s; (D) is lawfully
      disclosed to Executive by a third party without restriction on disclosure;
      or (E) is independently developed by Executive using his own resources,
      entirely on his own time, and without the use of any Confidential
      Information.

      the Company, Executive receives any “protected health information,” as
      that term is defined in 45 CFR, Part 164, Subpart E (“Privacy of
      Individually Identifiable Health Information”): (A) Executive agrees to
      maintain all such information in strict confidence with the Health
      Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA); (B)
      Executive agrees that he will make no use whatsoever of any such

      otherwise maintain, in any computer or other storage device owned by the
      Company or by Executive, any “protected health information.” Executive
      agrees to alert the Company promptly if he becomes aware of any misuse or
      unauthorized disclosure of any such
information.

            


    

     

    
      	
              11.5  

            	
              Additional

      Company or its clients may from time to time
  request.

      Company.

            


    

     

    With

      Restrictions.  Executive acknowledges that the
      restrictions set forth in this Agreement are reasonable in terms of both

              Representations of
      Executive.  Executive represents that his performance of

      will not disclose to the Company, or induce the Company to use, any
      confidential or proprietary information or material belonging to any
      previous employer of Executive or others.  Executive is not a
      party to any other agreement or understanding that would interfere with
      his full compliance with this Executive Agreement.  Executive
      agrees not to enter into any agreement, whether written or oral, in
      conflict with the provisions of this
Agreement.

              Extension of

      Agreement.

            


    

     

    
      	
              15.4  

            	
              Enforcement.  In
      addition to any other relief or remedies afforded by law or in equity, if
      Executive breaches Sections 13 or 14 of this Agreement, Executive agrees
      that the Company shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to injunctive
      relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Executive
      recognizes and hereby admits that irreparable damage will result to the
      Company if he violates or threatens to violate the terms of Section 13 or
      14 of this Agreement.  This Section 15.4 shall not preclude the
      granting of any other appropriate relief including, without limitation,
      money damages against Executive for breach of Section 13 or 14 of this
      Agreement.

              Non-Disparagement.

            


    

     

    During
any period of time during which this Agreement is in effect, and for not less
than twelve (12) months thereafter, Executive agrees not to engage in any form
of conduct or make any statements or representations that disparage,
characterize in demeaning manner or question the Company’s business practices,
products, advice, quality of employees and staff, or otherwise harm the public
reputation or good will of the Company, its employees, or
management.

              19.1  

            	
              Indemnity.  The
      Company will indemnify Executive against any claims arising from or
      related to his good faith performance of his duties and obligations
      hereunder to the fullest extent allowed by Company By-laws and the
      Minnesota Business Corporation Act.

            


    

     

    
      	
              19.2  

            	
              Cooperation in Legal
      Actions.  In connection with any action or proceeding
      against Executive, whether pending or threatened, for which the Company is
      obliged to indemnify Executive, the Company will pay or reimburse
      Executive in advance of the final disposition for reasonable expenses,
      including reasonable attorneys’ fees, necessarily incurred by
      Executive.  Executive will cooperate fully with the Company, at
      no expense to Executive, in the defense of any action, suit, claim, or
      proceeding commenced or threatened against the Company in conjunction with
      any action, suit, claim or proceeding commenced or threatened against
      him.  In addition to the foregoing, Executive further agrees to
      provide assistance to the Company, at the Company’s expense, as may be
      reasonably requested by the Company or its attorneys in connection with
      the litigation of any action, suit, claim, or proceeding involving the
      Company, whether not pending or to be commenced, which arises out of or is
      related to any matters in which Executive was involved or for which he was
      responsible during the term of his employment with the
      Company.

    The
rights and obligations set forth in Sections 3.7.2, 6.4, 6.5, 7.1, 8-11, 12.1,

              Headings;
      Construction.  The headings of Sections and paragraphs
      herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not
      control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this

      any presumption or other rule requiring construction hereof against the
      party causing this Agreement to be
drafted.

            


    

     

    
      	
              21.2  

            	
              Benefit.  Subject
      to Section 17, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is
      intended to confer on any person other than the parties hereto, any
      rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
      Agreement.

            


    

     

    
      	
              21.3  

            	
              Waiver.  Any
      delay by either party in asserting a right under this Agreement or any
      failure by either party to assert a right under this Agreement will not
      constitute a waiver by the asserting party of any right hereunder, and the
      asserting party may subsequently assert any or all of its rights hereunder
      as if the delay or failure to assert rights had not
    occurred.

            


    

     

    
      	
              21.4  

            	
              Severability.  If
      the final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction declares,
      after the expiration of the time within which judicial review (if
      permitted) of such determination may be perfected, that any term of
      provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, (a) the remaining terms and
      provisions hereof shall be unimpaired, and (b) the invalid or
      unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed replaced by a term or
      provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
      expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
      provision.

              22.1  

            	
              Entire
      Agreement.  Both Executive and the Company agree that
      this Agreement, the exhibits to this Agreement and any contemporaneous
      stock option agreement between the Company and Executive, constitute the
      entire agreement between them with respect to the subject matter
      thereof.  There were no inducements or representations leading
      to the execution of this Agreement except as stated in this
      Agreement.  Accordingly, this Agreement (together with the
      exhibits to this Agreement and any contemporaneous stock option agreement
      between the Company and Executive) expressly supersedes any and all prior
      oral and written agreements, representations and promises between the
      parties relating to Executive’s employment with the
    Company.

            


    

     

    
      	
              22.2  

            	
              Amendment.  This
      Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of both
      Executive and the Company.  No oral waiver, amendment or
      modification will be effective under any circumstances
      whatsoever.

    Any

personal delivery or certified mail, return receipt requested.  If
addressed to Executive, the notice shall be delivered or mailed to Executive at
the address most recently communicated in writing by Executive to the Company,
or if addressed to the company, the notice shall be delivered or mailed to the
Company at its executive offices to the attention of the CEO of the
Company.  A notice shall be deemed given, if by personal delivery, on

              24.1  

            	
              Governing Law;
      Disputes.  The Company is headquartered in Minneapolis,
      Minnesota and the parties expect that many of Executive’s contacts with
      the Company will occur through or in connection with its Minneapolis
      office.  Therefore, the parties agree that this Agreement shall
      be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws
      of the State of Minnesota, as such laws are applied to agreements entered
      into and to be performed entirely within Minnesota between Minnesota
      residents, without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law
      under which the law of any other jurisdiction would
      apply.  Except (and only) as set forth in Section 24.2 below,
      the undersigned each irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the United
      States District Court for the District of Minnesota and the courts of the
      State of Minnesota in any suit, action or proceeding brought under, based
      on or related to or in connection with this Agreement, and each of the
      undersigned agrees that either of the aforesaid courts will be the
      exclusive original forum for any such
action.

            


    

     

    
      	
              24.2  

            	
              Arbitration of
      Termination of Employment for Cause.  Any dispute arising
      out of or relating to termination of Executive’s employment for Cause
      pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, shall be discussed between the
      disputing parties in a good faith effort to arrive at a mutual settlement
      of any such controversy.  If, notwithstanding, such dispute
      cannot be resolved, such dispute shall be settled by binding
      arbitration.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator
      may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The
      arbitrator shall be a retired state or federal judge or an attorney who
      has practiced business law or business litigation for at least 10
      years.  If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within 20
      days, any party may request that the chief judge of the District Court for
      Hennepin County, Minnesota, select an arbitrator.  Arbitration
      will be conducted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, and the
      commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association,
      unless such rules are inconsistent with the provisions of this
      Agreement.  Limited civil discovery shall be permitted for the
      production of documents and taking of depositions.  Unresolved
      discovery disputes may be brought to the attention of the arbitrator who
      may dispose of such dispute.  The arbitrator shall have the
      authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of this state could
      order or grant; provided, however, that punitive or exemplary damages
      shall not be awarded.  The Company shall pay the fees and
      expenses of the arbitrator.  Unless otherwise agreed by the
      parties, the exclusive location of any arbitration proceedings shall be
      Hennepin County, Minnesota.
