                              TERMINATION AGREEMENT

      This Termination Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of November

                                    RECITALS

      A. On April 10, 2000, Company and CHS entered into an agreement that set
forth the terms pursuant to which CHS would provide certain management services
for Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation,
consultation regarding the business and operations of Company, locating
investment opportunities for Company and other management services reasonably
requested by Company ("Management Agreement").

      B. American Reprographics Company, a Delaware corporation, is a newly
formed corporation ("Newco"). In connection with the underwritten public
offering of Newco's common stock (the "IPO"), each holder of Holdings' common
units prior to the IPO shall exchange their outstanding Holdings common units
for an equal number of shares of Newco's common stock.

      C. Company, Holdings and CHS desire to terminate the Management Agreement
and any and all other agreements between CHS and Company or Holdings pursuant to
which CHS has contracted to provide management services or financial advisory
services to Company or Holdings on the terms set forth herein.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

1. Termination of Management Agreement. The Management Agreement and any and all
other agreements between CHS and Company or Holdings pursuant to which CHS has
contracted to provide management services or financial advisory services to
Company or Holdings are hereby terminated effective upon the closing date of the
IPO ("Closing Date"). Beginning on the Closing Date, each of CHS, Company and
Holdings shall have no further rights or obligations under the Management
Agreement or under any and all other agreements between CHS and Company or
Holdings pursuant to which CHS has contracted to provide management services or
financial advisory services to Company or Holdings; provided however, that: (i)
the fees payable by Company to CHS under the Management Agreement (the
"Management Fee") shall be prorated through the Closing Date; (ii) Company's
obligation under the Management Agreement to pay to CHS the Management Fee for
the period prior to the Closing Date shall survive such termination; and (iii)
Company's obligation under the Management Agreement to reimburse CHS for
expenses incurred by CHS for the period prior to the Closing Date shall survive
such termination.

3. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and
enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without regard
