                            WORKFLOW MANAGEMENT, INC.
                            1998 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
                          STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT



         This  Agreement is dated as of June 10, 1998,  by and between  Workflow
Management,  Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  and  Jonathan J.
Ledecky (the "Participant").

         1.  Grant of  Award.  The  Company  hereby  confirms  the  grant to the
Participant  effective at 12:01 a.m. on June 10, 1998 (the "Grant Date"),  of an
incentive   stock  option   ("ISO")  to  purchase  up  to  7,000  shares  and  a
non-qualified   stock  option  ("NQSO")  to  purchase  up  to  1,089,895  shares
(collectively  the  "Option" or the "Option  Shares")  of the  Company's  common
stock, $.001 par value (the "Common Stock") pursuant to the Company's 1998 Stock
Incentive  Plan (the "Plan").  The specific  terms and  conditions of the Option
granted pursuant to this Agreement are set forth in the Plan; provided, however,
that (i) the Option,  to the extent then  unexercised,  will be forfeited if, as
finally  determined by a court,  the Participant  violates the "No  Competition"
provision (the "No Competition Clause") of his Employment Agreement ("Employment
Agreement") with the Company of even date herewith, as specifically set forth in
the Employment Agreement, in which event the Participant shall be subject to the
section titled "Disgorging Option Gain" in the Employment Agreement with respect
to both  exercised  and  unexercised  Option  Shares;  and (ii) the Option shall
become  fully  vested  and   immediately   exercisable   in  the  event  of  the
Participant's  death prior to the Option Termination Date (as defined in Section
3 below)  ("Death  Clause"),  as also  specifically  set forth in the Employment
Agreement.

         2. Option  Price Per Share.  The  exercise  price of each of the Option
Shares  shall be $9.00 per share,  which is the per share Fair Market  Value (as
that term is defined in the Plan) of a share of the  Company's  Common  Stock on
June 10, 1998.

         3.  Vesting and Term of the Option.  Subject to (i) the No  Competition
Clause and (ii) the Death Clause,  the Participant shall be vested in the Option
on and after the Grant Date, but the Option may not be exercised  until June 10,
1999. The Option (to the extent not earlier exercised) will expire at 11:59 p.m.
on June 8,  2008 (the  "Option  Termination  Date"),  unless  sooner  terminated
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

         4.  Exercise of Option.  Subject to (i) the No  Competition  Clause and
(ii) the  one-year  restriction  on  exercise  set forth in  Section 3 above (as
qualified by the Death  Clause),  the  Participant  may exercise the Option with
respect to all or any part of the number of Option  Shares by  delivering to the
Treasurer  of the Company (i) a written  notice in the form of  Attachment  A to
this Agreement that sets forth the number of Option Shares that the  Participant
desires  to  purchase,  and (ii) an  amount  equal to the  full  payment  of the
exercise price for those shares.  The exercise of the Option in whole or in part
is  conditioned  upon the  acceptance  by the  Participant  of the terms of this
Agreement.

         5. No  Rights as  Shareholders  Until  Option  Exercised.  Neither  the
Participant nor his heirs, legal  representative or guardians shall be, or shall
have any of the rights and  privileges  of a  shareholder  of the  Company  with
respect  to any  Option  Shares,  in whole or in part,  before the date that the
Participant  exercises the Option and the certificates for the shares are mailed
to the Participant.

         6.  Non-Transferability of Option.  Pursuant to Section 20 of the Plan,
the Option shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant other than
by will or by the laws of descent  and  distribution.  Pursuant to Section 14 of
the Plan,  during the life of the  Participant,  the Option shall be exercisable
only  by  the   Participant   or  by  such   Participant's   guardian  or  legal
representative.

         7. Employment Not Affected. Nothing in the Plan or this Award Agreement
shall confer upon the Participant the right to continue in the employment of the
Company  or  affect  any right  which  the  Company  may have to  terminate  the
employment of the Participant under the Employment Agreement or otherwise.

         8.  Notice.  Any notice that must be given to the  Company  pursuant to
this Agreement shall be addressed to:

                                    Treasurer
                            Workflow Management, Inc.

                              Palm Beach, FL 33480

                  Any  notice  to the  Participant  shall  be  addressed  to the
Participant at the current  address shown on the payroll records of the Company.
Any notice shall be deemed to be duly given if and when  properly  addressed and
posted by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid.

         9.  Incorporation of Plan by Reference.  The Option is granted pursuant
to the terms of the  Employment  Agreement and the Plan,  the terms of which are
incorporated  herein by  reference,  and the  Option  shall in all  respects  be
interpreted  in  accordance  with the  Employment  Agreement  and the Plan.  The
Compensation  Committee of the Company's  Board of Directors shall interpret and
construe  the  Plan,  the  Employment  Agreement  and  this  document,  and  its
interpretations  and  determinations  shall be  conclusive  and  binding  on the
Participant  and the  Company and any other  person  claiming an interest in the
Option,  with respect to any issue concerning the Option. The Participant hereby
acknowledges  receipt of the enclosed copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by
all the  terms  and  conditions  thereof  as the same  may from  time to time be
amended, and by all determinations of the Compensation Committee thereunder.

         10.  Governing  Law. To the extent that federal  laws do not  otherwise
control,  this Award  Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.







         IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  this  Agreement has been executed in duplicate on
behalf of the Company by its duly authorized officer,  and by the Participant in
acceptance of the above-mentioned Option, subject to the terms and conditions of
the Plan, and of this Agreement.
