Executive's abilities the duties assigned to the Executive hereunder and shall
devote the Executive's full business time, attention and effort to the affairs
of the Company and its subsidiaries and shall use the Executive's reasonable
best efforts to promote the interests of the Company and its subsidiaries. The
Executive may engage in charitable, civic or community activities and, with the
prior approval of the Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, may serve as a

terms of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6 or 7 hereof.

            (b) Responsibilities. The Executive shall have the authority and
responsibility commensurate with the position of Vice President Government
Affairs. The Executive shall also perform such other duties (not inconsistent
with the position of Vice President Government Affairs) on behalf of the Company
and its subsidiaries as may from time to time be authorized or directed by the
Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or by the Chief Executive
Officer.

            3. COMPENSATION. (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the
Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary at the rate of $190,000.00 per
annum ("Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
practices. Such Base Salary shall be reviewed annually, and shall be subject to
such annual increases, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee of
the Board.

<PAGE>

            (b) Annual Bonus. The Executive shall, in the sole discretion of the
Compensation Committee of the Board, be eligible to receive an annual incentive
bonus for such fiscal year ("Annual Bonus"), based upon the achievement of goals
established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of the
Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether such goals have been
advised.

            (c) Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive
shall be entitled to participate in the Company's employee benefit plans
generally available to executives of the Company (such benefits being
hereinafter referred to as the "Employee Benefits"). The Executive shall be

Company's policy for executives and to receive all other fringe benefits as are
from time to time made generally available to executives of the Company.

            (d) Expense Reimbursement. During the Employment Period, the Company
shall reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the Company's policies and
procedures, for all proper expenses incurred by the Executive in the performance
of the Executive's duties hereunder.

            4. TERMINATION. (a) Death. Upon the death of the Executive, this
Agreement shall automatically terminate and all rights of the Executive and the
Executive's heirs, executors and administrators to compensation and other
benefits under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except that the
Executive's heirs, executors or administrators, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to:

            (i) accrued Base Salary through and including the Executive's date
      of death;

            (ii) accrued Annual Bonus through and including the Executive's date
      of death; and

      the date of death in accordance with the terms of the plans and programs
      of the Company.

            (b) Disability. The Company may, at its option, terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to the Executive if the Executive, because of
physical or mental incapacity or disability, fails to perform the essential
functions of the Executive's position, with or without reasonable accommodation,
required of the Executive hereunder for a continuous period of 180 days or any
240 days within any 12-month period. Upon such termination, all obligations of
the Company hereunder shall cease immediately, except that the Executive shall
be entitled to:

            (i) accrued Base Salary through and including the effective date of
      the Executive's termination of employment;

            (ii) accrued Annual Bonus through and including the effective date
      of the Executive's termination of employment; and

            (iii) other Employee Benefits to which the Executive is entitled
      upon termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the plans
      and programs of the Company.

In the event of any dispute regarding the existence of the Executive's
incapacity or disability hereunder, the matter shall be resolved by the
determination of a physician selected by the Board and reasonably acceptable to
the Executive. The Executive shall submit to appropriate medical examinations
for purposes of such determination.

            (c) Cause. (i) The Company may, at its option, terminate the
      Executive's employment under this Agreement for Cause (as hereinafter
      defined) upon written notice to the Executive (the "Cause Notice"). The
      Cause Notice shall state the particular action(s) or inaction(s) giving
      rise to termination for Cause. The Executive shall have fifteen days after
      the Cause Notice is given to cure the particular action(s) or inaction(s),
      to the extent a cure is possible. If the Executive so effects a cure to
      the satisfaction of the Board, the Cause Notice shall be deemed rescinded
      and of no force or effect.

            (ii) As used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean any one
      or more of the following:

                  (A) a material breach by the Executive of the duties and
            responsibilities of the Executive which is demonstrably willful and
            deliberate on the Executive's part, which is committed in bad faith
            or without reasonable belief that such breach is in the best
            interest of the Company;

                  (B) the commission by the Executive of a felony involving
            moral turpitude;

                  (C) the commission by the Executive of theft, fraud, breach of
            trust or any significant act of dishonesty involving the Company or
            its subsidiaries;

                  (D) any breach by the Executive of any one or more of the
            covenants contained in Sections 6 or 7 hereof; or

                  (E) the significant violation by the Executive of the
            Company's code of business conduct and ethics or any statutory or
            common law duty of loyalty to the Company or its subsidiaries which
            is demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive's part.

            (iii) The exercise of the right of the Company to terminate this
      Agreement pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not abrogate the rights or
      remedies of the Company in respect of the breach giving rise to such
      termination.

            (iv) If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for Cause,
      all obligations of the Company hereunder shall cease, except that the
      Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits specified in
      Sections 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(iii) hereof.

            (d) Termination Without Cause. The Company may, at its option,
terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement upon written notice to
the Executive for a reason other than a reason set forth in Section 4(a), 4(b)
or 4(c). If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for any such
reason, all obligations of the Company hereunder shall cease immediately, except
that the Executive shall be entitled to:

<PAGE>

            (i) the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(i) through
      4(b)(iii) hereof, inclusive;

            (ii) the continuation of payment of amounts equal to the Base Salary
      which otherwise would have been payable hereunder had the Executive's
      employment hereunder not been terminated pursuant to this Section 4(d) for
      a period of twelve months; and

            (iii) the Company shall pay the Executive's COBRA premiums for
      health care continuation coverage for a period ending on the earliest of

      COBRA continuation coverage by law; and (C) the time at which the
      Executive is eligible for health insurance benefits from any other
      employer.

Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the amount of any payment
provided under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement be reduced by
any compensation earned by Executive as a result of employment by another
employer, except as provided in clause (iii) of this Section 4(d).

            (e) Voluntary Termination. Upon 30 days prior written notice to the
Company (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Board), the Executive

and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(i) and 4(b)(iii) hereof.

            5. FEDERAL AND STATE WITHHOLDING. The Company shall deduct from the
amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement the amount of all
required federal, state and local withholding taxes in accordance with the
Executive's Form W-4 on file with the Company, and all applicable federal
employment taxes.

            6. NONSOLICITATION. (a) The Executive acknowledges that in the
course of the Executive's employment with the Company the Executive has and will
become familiar with trade secrets and other confidential information concerning
the Company and its subsidiaries and that the Executive's services will be of
special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company and its subsidiaries.

            (b) The Executive further agrees that during the period of
Executive's employment with the Company and the period, if any, during which the
Executive is receiving payments from the Company pursuant to Section 4 the
Executive shall not in any manner, directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to
induce any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to terminate or
abandon his or her employment for any purpose whatsoever.

            (c) If, at any time of enforcement of this Section 6, a court or an
arbitrator holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under
circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period or
scope reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated
period or scope and that the court or arbitrator shall be allowed to

<PAGE>

revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and
area permitted by law. This Agreement shall not authorize a court or arbitrator
to increase or broaden any of the restrictions in this Section 6.

            7. EMPLOYEE AGREEMENT. The Executive has executed and has delivered
to the Company the Company's Employee Agreement, a copy of which is attached
hereto. The Executive agrees to perform all of Executive's obligations
thereunder.

            8. ENFORCEMENT. The parties hereto agree that the Company and its
subsidiaries would be damaged irreparably in the event that any provision of
Section 6 or 7 of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms
or were otherwise breached and that money damages would be an inadequate remedy
for any such nonperformance or breach. Accordingly, the Company and its
successors and permitted assigns shall be entitled, in addition to other rights
and remedies existing in their favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent
any breach or threatened breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such
provisions specifically (without posting a bond or other security). The
Executive agrees that the Executive will submit to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts of the State of Wisconsin in any action by the Company to enforce
this Agreement or to obtain injunctive or other relief.

            9. REPRESENTATIONS. The Executive represents and warrants to the
Company that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by
the Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a
default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to
which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound, (b) the
Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompetition
agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity and (c)
upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement
shall be the valid and binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

            10. SURVIVAL. Sections 6, 7 and 8 of this Agreement shall survive
and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms,
notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

            11. NOTICES. All notices and other communications required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (a)

following facsimile number of the other party hereto (or such other facsimile

            12. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under applicable law or rule in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement or the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced
in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had

purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
business and/or assets of the Company, by operation of law or by agreement in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, to assume and agree to

without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

            16. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. The provisions of this Agreement may be
amended or waived only by the written agreement of the Company and the
Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the
provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity, binding effect or
enforceability of this Agreement.

            17. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in two
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and both of which
