                              -------------------

     WHEREAS, the Company wishes to secure the services of the Executive and the
Executive wishes to furnish such services to the Company pursuant to the terms
and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants and obligations hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto, intending
to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     1.  Employment: Term.  The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive,
         ----------------
and the Executive hereby agrees to enter into such employment, as President of
the Company's mechanical and electrical group for the period commencing on the
date stated above (the "Commencement Date") and ending on the date two years
from the Commencement Date, unless terminated sooner pursuant to Section 5
hereof.  The initial two year term shall be extended for additional successive
periods of one year each, on the same terms and conditions contained herein,
unless six months prior written notice is given by the Company of its intention
to terminate the term of this Agreement without cause.  For purposes hereof, the
period of Executive's employment hereunder is referred to as the "Term."

     2.  Duties and Extent of Services.
         -----------------------------

     (a) During the Term, the Executive shall serve as President of the
Company's mechanical and electrical group with such duties and responsibilities
as are consistent with such positions, and shall so serve faithfully and to the
best of his ability, under the direction and supervision of the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO").

     (b) The Executive shall serve as a Director of the Company if elected to
such position in accordance with law and hold such other positions and executive
offices of the Company and/or of any of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates
as may from time to time be authorized by the CEO, provided that each such
position shall be commensurate with the Executive's standing in the business
community as President of the Company's mechanical and electrical group. The
Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation other than the compensation
provided
<PAGE>

for herein for serving during the Term as a Director of the Company or in any
other office or position of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, unless the CEO shall have specifically approved such additional
compensation.

          (c) The Executive shall devote his full business time, attention and
efforts to his duties hereunder.  The Executive shall diligently perform to the
best of his ability all of the duties required of him as President of the
Company's mechanical and electrical group, and in the other positions or offices
of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates required of him hereunder.  The
Executive shall faithfully adhere to, execute and fulfill all policies
established by the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Executive may participate in charitable, civic, political, social,
trade, or other non-profit organizations to the extent such participation does
not materially interfere with the performance of his duties hereunder, and may
serve as a non-management director of business corporations (or in a like
capacity in other for-profit organizations) so long as it does not materially
interfere with the Executive's obligations hereunder.

          3.  Compensation
              ------------

          (a) Base Salary.  Effective as of the Commencement Date, the Company
              -----------
shall pay the Executive a base salary (the "Base Salary") equal to Three Hundred
Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000.00) per year, payable on a regular basis in
accordance with the Company's regular payroll policies in effect from time to
time, but not less frequently than monthly.  On at least an annual basis, the
CEO will review the Executive's performance and may make increases to such Base
Salary if, in its sole discretion, any such change is warranted.

          (b) Incentive Bonus.  The Company will develop a written Incentive
              ---------------
Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan") setting forth the criteria under which the
Executive and other officers and key employees of the Company will be eligible
to receive year-end incentive bonus compensation.  The Bonus Plan will provide
for the Executive to earn up to 100% of his Base Salary in bonus compensation,
payable out of a bonus pool determined by the Board or a compensation committee
thereof.  Subject to the provisions of Section 3(e) hereof, such bonus payments
shall be made to the Executive as soon as practicable after the end of each
calendar year during the Term.

          (c) Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  The Executive shall be entitled to
              ----------------------------
participate in the Company's 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan in accordance
with the terms set forth therein.

          (d) Long-Term Incentive Plan.  The Executive shall be entitled to
              ------------------------
participate in the Company's 1999 or 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan in accordance
with the terms set forth therein.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (e) Deferral.  The Executive may elect to defer payment of all or any
              --------
part of the incentive bonus compensation amount payable in accordance with
Section 3(b)  hereof with respect to any calendar year during the Term, by
giving the Company written notice thereof not later than June 30 of such year.
Additionally, in the event that in respect of any fiscal year of the Company any
amount of Base Salary, incentive bonus compensation or any other amount payable
to the Executive hereunder or otherwise,  shall, either alone or in combination
with other amounts payable hereunder or otherwise, result in a payment by the
Company that shall not be currently deductible by it pursuant to the provisions
of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, or like or successor
provisions (a "Non-Deductible Amount"), the Company may elect to defer the
payment of the Non-Deductible Amount.  Any amounts, so deferred, either by
election of the Executive or by election of the Company, shall be credited to a
bookkeeping account in the name of the Executive as of the date scheduled for
payment hereunder.  Such amounts shall be credited with interest as of each June
30 during the term of deferral, compounded annually, at a rate per annum equal
to the annual rate of interest announced by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York
as its base rate in effect on such June 30, but in no event shall such rate
exceed 9%.  The entire amount credited to such bookkeeping account shall be paid
to the Executive on a date to be chosen by the Company, but in no event later
than the first anniversary of the termination of the Executive from employment
with the Company.

          (f)  Option Grant.  In connection with the execution and delivery of
               ------------
this Agreement, and pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1999 Long-Term
Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan"), the Executive will be granted options (the
"Options") to purchase two hundred fiftteen (215,000) shares of the Company's
common stock (the "Common Stock"), on and pursuant to the terms of the Option
Plan and an award agreement.  Each Option will be granted at a price equal to
the closing price of shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ   on the day prior to the
date hereof.  Subject to the next sentence hereof, the Options will be
exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares underlying the Options on each
anniversary of the date of grant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of
the Options will accelerate, (i) upon a Change in Control (as defined in the
Option Plan) in which case all Options will be exercisable  immediately, and
(ii) upon the expiration of the Term for any reason other than "for cause"
pursuant to Section 5(c) hereunder, in which case all Options will be
exercisable immediately.

               (g) Car Allowance.  The Executive shall receive a monthly car
                   -------------
allowance of $750 during the Term of this Agreement.

                                      -3-

          4.  Benefits.
              --------

          (a) Standard Benefits.  During the Term, the Executive shall be
              -----------------
entitled to participate in any and all benefit programs and arrangements now in
effect and hereinafter adopted and generally made available by the Company to
its senior officers, including but not limited to, 4 weeks of paid vacation
during each year of the Term in accordance with the policies and procedures of
the Company as in effect from time to time for its senior officers, pension
plans, contributory and non-contributory Company welfare and benefit plans,
disability plans, and medical, death benefit and life insurance plans for which
the Executive shall be eligible, or may become eligible during the Term.

          (b) Expense Reimbursement/Provision of Equipment.  The Company agrees
              --------------------------------------------
to reimburse the Executive for all reasonable and necessary travel, business
entertainment and other business out-of-pocket expenses incurred or expended by
him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, including
expenses incurred in travel to the Company's headquarters upon presentation of
proper expense statements or vouchers or such other supporting information as
the Company may reasonably require of the Executive.  The Company will, at its
sole cost and expense, provide to the Executive a computer, computer printer,
copier, facsimile machine and such other office equipment as Executive shall
reasonably request from time to time for use by the Executive to carry out his
duties hereunder.

          (c) Other Executive Perquisites.  The Company shall provide the
              ---------------------------
Executive with other executive perquisites as may be available to or deemed
appropriate for the Executive by the Board or a compensation committee thereof.

          5.  Termination.  This Agreement and the Executive's employment with
              -----------
the Company may be terminated in any one of the following ways:

          (a) Death.  In the event of the death of the Executive during the
              -----
Term, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the Company shall have
no further obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 5(g) below.

          (b) Disability.  In the event of the "permanent disability" (as
              ----------
hereinafter defined) of the Executive during the Term, the Company shall have
the right, upon written notice to the Executive, to terminate the Executive's
employment hereunder, effective upon the giving of such notice (or such later
date as shall be specified in such notice). In the event of such termination,
and subject to the provisions of Section 5(g) below, the Company shall have no
further obligations hereunder, except that the Executive shall be entitled to be
paid his Base Salary under Section 3(a) hereof for a period of two (2) years
from the effective date of termination; provided, however,  that the Company
                                        --------  -------
shall only be required to pay that amount of the Executive's Base Salary which
shall not be covered by long-term disability payments, if any, to the Executive.
In addition, upon termination for permanent disability, the Executive shall
continue to participate in any and all pension, insurance and other benefit
plans and programs of the Company during the period the Executive is continuing
to receive his Base Salary.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Thereafter, the Executive's rights to participate in such programs and plans, or
to receive similar coverage, if any, shall be as determined under such programs.
For purposes of this Section, "permanent disability" means any disability as
defined under the Company's applicable disability insurance policy or, if no
such policy is available, any physical or mental disability or incapacity that
renders the Executive incapable of performing the services required of him in
accordance with his obligations under Section 2 hereof for a period of four (4)
consecutive months or for shorter periods aggregating six (6) months during any
twelve-month period.

          (c) Cause.  The Company shall have the right, upon written notice to
              -----
the Executive, to terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement for
"Cause" (as hereinafter defined), effective upon the giving of such notice (or
such later date as shall be specified in such notice), and the Company shall
have no further obligations hereunder, except to pay the Executive any amounts
otherwise payable pursuant to Section 5(g) below. It is understood and agreed
that notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in
the case of termination by the Company of the Executive for Cause, any bonus
payment for the calendar year in which termination occurs shall be forfeited.
The Executive's right to participate in any of the Company's retirement,
insurance and other benefit plans and programs shall be as determined under such
programs and plans.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" means:

               (i)  fraud, embezzlement or gross insubordination on the part of
     the Executive or material breach by the Executive of his obligations under
     Sections 6 or 7 hereof;

               (ii)  a material breach of, gross negligence with respect to, or
     the willful failure or refusal by the Executive to perform and discharge,
     his duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement (other
     than under Sections 6 and 7 hereof, which shall be governed by clause (i)
     above, and other than by reason of disability or death) that is not
     corrected within ten (10) days following written notice thereof to the
     Executive by the Company, such notice to state with specificity the nature
     of the breach, failure or refusal; provided that if such breach, failure
                                        --------
     or refusal cannot reasonably be corrected within ten (10) days of written
     notice thereof, correction shall be commenced by the Executive within such
     period and may be corrected within a reasonable period thereafter;

               (iii)  conviction of or the entry of a plea of nolo contendere by
                                                              ---- ----------
     the Executive of any felony; or

               (iv) illegal drug use or alcohol abuse by the Executive.

          (d) Without Cause.  The Company shall have the right, upon thirty (30)
              -------------
days' written notice given to the Executive, to terminate this Agreement for any
reason whatsoever.  In the event of a termination without cause, the Executive
shall be entitled (i) to receive from the Company an amount equal to two times
his Base Salary at the rate then in effect plus any bonus he received during the
previous year payable in a

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

single lump sum at the time of termination without cause and (ii) to participate
in all pension, insurance and other benefit plan programs or arrangements on
terms identical to those applicable to other senior officers of the Company. In
the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5(d), the
Executive shall be released from his obligations under Section 6 or Section 7
hereof and all options previously granted to the Executive that have not yet
vested shall immediately vest and be exercisable.

          (e) By Executive.  The Executive shall have the right, exercisable at
              ------------
any time during the Term, to terminate this Agreement for any reason whatsoever,
upon six (6) months written notice to the Company.  In such event, and other
than as provided by the terms of Section 5(g) below, the Company shall have no
further obligations hereunder and the Executive shall not be entitled to receive
any severance compensation.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a termination by the Executive, the
amount of any unpaid bonus payment for the calendar year in which the
termination occurs shall be forfeited.

          (f) Effect of Termination.  Upon the termination of the Executive's
              ---------------------
employment hereunder for any reason, the Company shall have no further
obligations hereunder, except as otherwise provided herein.  The Executive,
however, shall continue to have the obligations provided in Sections 6 and 7
hereof, except as otherwise provided herein.  Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, all Options granted to the Executive shall immediately vest and
be exercisable as of the date of any termination of this Agreement, other than a
termination pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(e) hereof.  Furthermore, upon
such termination, the Executive shall be deemed to have resigned immediately
from all offices and directorships held by him in the Company or any of its
subsidiaries.

          (g) General Provisions.  Upon termination of this Agreement for any
              ------------------
reasons provided above, the Executive (or his estate or personal representative,
as applicable) shall be entitled to receive all compensation earned and all
benefits and reimbursements accrued and due through the effective date of
termination.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all Options
granted to the Executive shall immediately vest and be exercisable upon any
termination of this Agreement, other than a termination pursuant to Section 5(c)
or Section 5(e) hereof.  Additional compensation subsequent to termination, if
any, will be due and payable to the Executive only to the extent and in the
manner expressly provided above.  In the event that the Executive secures
employment with another entity during the period that any payment is continuing
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5, the amounts to be paid hereunder
shall be reduced by the amount of the Executive's earnings from such other
employment.

          6.  Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that, by reason of his
              ---------------
employment by the Company, he will have access to confidential information of
the Company and  its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, without limitation,
information and knowledge pertaining to products, inventions, discoveries,
improvements, innovations, designs, ideas, trade secrets, proprietary
information, manufacturing, packaging, advertising, distribution and sales
methods, sales and profit figures, customer

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

and client lists and relationships between the Company, any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates and dealers, distributors, sales representatives, wholesalers,
customers, clients, suppliers and others who have business dealings with them
("Confidential Information"). The Executive acknowledges that such Confidential
Information is a valuable and unique asset of the Company and its subsidiaries
and affiliates and covenants that, both during and after the Term, he will not
disclose any Confidential Information to any person (except as his duties as an
employee of the Company may require) without the prior written authorization of
the CEO. The obligation of confidentiality imposed by this Section 6 shall not
apply to Confidential Information that otherwise becomes generally known in the
industry or to the public through no act of the Executive in breach of this
Agreement or any other party in violation of an existing confidentiality
agreement with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate or which is required
to be disclosed by court order or applicable law.

          7.  Covenant Not to Compete.
              -----------------------

          (a) Scope of Covenant.  The Executive agrees that during the Term and
              -----------------
for a period equal to the longer of (i) one (1) year commencing upon the
expiration or termination of the Executive's employment hereunder (for any
reason whatsoever) or (ii) the period during which the Executive is entitled to
receive and is receiving any payment pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Executive
shall not, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction
with any other person, persons, company, partnership, corporation or business of
whatever nature, without the prior written consent of the Company:

               (i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner,
     joint venturer, or in a managerial capacity, whether as an employee,
     independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales
     representative, in any business selling any products or services in direct
     competition with the Company within 100 miles of the principal executive
     offices or the principal operations of the Company (the "Territory");

               (ii) call upon any person who is at that time, or who was at any
     time within one (1) year prior to that time, an employee of the Company
     (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) in a managerial capacity
     for the purpose or with the intent of enticing  such employee away from or
     out of the employ of the Company (including the respective subsidiaries
     thereof), provided that the Executive shall be permitted to call upon and
     hire any member of his immediate family;

               (iii)  call upon any person or entity which is, at that time, or
     which has been, within one (1) year prior to that time, a customer of the
     Company (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) within the
     Territory for the purpose of soliciting or selling products or services in
     direct competition with the Company (including the respective subsidiaries
     thereof) within the Territory; or

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

               (iv) call upon any prospective acquisition candidate, on the
     Executive's own behalf or on behalf of any competitor, which candidate was
     either called upon by the Company (including the respective subsidiaries
     thereof) or for which the Company (including the respective subsidiaries
     thereof) made an acquisition analysis, for the purpose of acquiring such
     entity;

provided, however,  that nothing in this Section 7(a) shall be construed to
--------  -------
preclude the Executive from making any investments in the securities of any
business enterprise whether or not engaged in competition with the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, to the extent that such securities are actively traded
on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market in the
United States or on any foreign securities exchange.

          (b) Reasonableness.  It is agreed by the parties that the foregoing
              --------------
covenants in this Section 7 impose a reasonable restraint on the Executive in
light of the activities and business of the Company (including the Company's
subsidiaries) on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current
plans of the Company (including the Company's subsidiaries); but it is also the
intent of the Company and the Executive that such covenants be construed and
enforced in accordance with the changing activities, business and locations of
the Company (including the Company's other subsidiaries) throughout the term of
this covenant.

          (c) Severability.  The covenants in this Section 7 are severable and
              ------------
separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
provisions of any other covenant.  Moreover, in the event any court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions
set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such
restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable,
and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

          (d) Enforcement by the Company not Limited.  All of the covenants in
              --------------------------------------
this Section 7 shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other
provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action
of the Executive against the Company, whether predicated in this Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of
such covenants.  It is specifically agreed that the period of one (1) year
stated at the beginning of this Section 7, during which the agreements and
covenants of the Executive made in this Section 7 shall be effective, shall be
computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Executive
is in violation of any provision of this Section 7.

          (e) Change of Relevant Law.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if
              ----------------------
any applicable law shall reduce the time period during which the Executive shall
be prohibited from engaging in any competitive activity described in Section
7(a) hereof, the period of time for which  the Executive shall be prohibited
from engaging in competitive activities pursuant to Section 7(a) hereof shall be
the maximum time permitted by law.  However, in the event that the time period
specified by Section 7(a) shall be so reduced, then, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5 hereof, the Executive shall be entitled to receive from
the Company his Base Salary at the rate then in effect solely for the longer

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

of (i) the time period during which the provisions of Section 7(a) shall be
enforceable under the provisions of such applicable law, or (ii) the time period
during which the Executive is not engaging in any competitive activity, but in
no event longer than the term provided in Section 5.

          8.  Specific Performance.  The Executive acknowledges that the
              --------------------
services to be rendered by the Executive are of a special, unique and
extraordinary character and, in connection with such services, the Executive
will have access to confidential information vital to the Company's business and
the business of the Company's subsidiaries and affiliates.  By reason of this,
the Executive consents and agrees that if the Executive violates any of the
provisions of Section 6 or 7 hereof, the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates would sustain irreparable injury and that monetary damages would not
provide adequate remedy to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
Therefore, the Executive hereby agrees that the Company and any affected
subsidiary and affiliate shall be entitled to have Sections 6 or 7 hereof
specifically enforced (including, without limitation, by injunctions and
restraining orders) by any court having equity jurisdiction.  Nothing contained
herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach
or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the Executive.

          9.  Deductions and Withholding.  The Executive agrees that the Company
              --------------------------
or its subsidiaries or affiliates, as applicable, shall withhold from any and
all compensation paid to and required to be paid to the Executive pursuant to
this Agreement, all Federal, state, local and/or other taxes which the Company
determines are required to be withheld in accordance with applicable statutes or
regulation from time to time in effect and all amounts required to be deducted
in respect  of the Executive's coverage under applicable employee benefit plans.
For purposes of  this Agreement and calculations hereunder, all such deductions
and withholdings shall be deemed to have been paid to and received by the
Executive.

          10.  No Conflicts.  The Executive hereby represents and warrants to
               ------------
the Company that his execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and
any other agreement to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement will not (a)
require the consent, approval or action of any other person or (b) violate,
conflict with or result in the breach of any of the terms of, or constitute (or
with notice or lapse of time or both, constitute) a default under, any
agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the Executive's
employment to which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound
or subject including, without limitation, any non-competition or non-disclosure
provisions in agreements to which the Executive is or was a party.  The
Executive hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, subsidiaries  and
affiliates (and each such subsidiary's and affiliate's directors, officers,
employees, agents and representatives) from and against any and all losses,
liabilities or claims (including interest, penalties and attorneys' fees,
disbursements and related charges) based upon or arising out of the Executive's
breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          11.  Complete Agreement.  This Agreement is not a promise of future
               ------------------
employment.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement of the parties with
respect to the Executive's employment, compensation, perquisites and related
items and supersedes any other prior oral or written agreements, arrangements or
understandings between the Executive and the Company or any of its subsidiaries
or affiliates, and any such prior agreements, arrangements or understandings are
hereby terminated and of no further effect.  This Agreement may not be changed
or terminated orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties
hereto.

          12.  Waiver.  The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision
               ------
of this Agreement by the Executive shall not operate or be construed as a waiver
of any subsequent breach by him.  The waiver by the Executive of a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by the Company shall not operate or be construed as
a waiver of any subsequent breach by the Company.

          13.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
               ---------------------------

          (a) This Agreement shall be subject to, and governed by, the laws of
the State of Delaware.

          (b) Any action to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement
shall be brought in a local or federal court within the State of Minnesota.  The
Parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court and to the service of process
in any manner provided by Minnesota law.  Each party irrevocably waives any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any
such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court and any claim that such
suit, action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum and agrees that service of process in accordance with the
foregoing sentences shall be deemed in every respect effective and valid
personal service of process upon such party.

          (c) Assignability.  The obligations of the Executive may not be
              -------------
delegated and, except with respect to the designation of beneficiaries in
connection with any of the benefits payable to the Executive hereunder, the
Executive may not, without the Company's written consent thereto, assign,
transfer, convey, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of this
Agreement or any interest herein.  Any such attempted delegation or disposition
shall be null and void and without effect.  The Company and the Executive agree
that this Agreement and all of the Company's rights and obligations hereunder
may be assigned or transferred by the Company to and shall be assumed by and be
binding upon any successor to the Company.  The term "successor" means, with
respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any corporation or other
business entity which, by merger, consolidation, purchase of the assets or
otherwise acquires all or a material part of the assets of the Company.

          15.  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement of any part
               ------------
thereof, including, without limitation, Sections 6 and 7 hereof, as applied to
either party

                                      -10-

or to any circumstances shall be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be void or unenforceable, the same shall in no way affect any other provision
of this Agreement or remaining part thereof, which shall be given full effect
without regard to the invalid or unenforceable part thereof, or the validity or
enforceability of this Agreement.

          If any court construes any of the provisions of Sections 6 or 7
hereof, or any part thereof, to be unreasonable because of the duration of such
provision or the geographic scope thereof, such court may reduce the duration or
restrict or redefine the geographic scope of such provision and enforce such
provision so reduced, restricted or redefined.

               -------
