                    the Term of this Agreement and the Executive's employment
                    hereunder at any time upon sixty (60) days prior written
                    notice to the Executive in the event of (i) the Executive's

                    engagement in misconduct materially and demonstrably
                    injurious to the Company, (iii) the Executive's breach of a
                    material provision of this Agreement, unless such breach is

                    a felony, (v) the Executive's perpetration of a fraudulent
                    act against the Company, or (vi) the determination by the
                    Board of Directors in its reasonable judgment that the
                    Executive's performance is unsatisfactory.

                         (b) Termination by the Executive. The Executive may

                         (d) Disability Defined. As used in this Agreement, the
                    term "Disability" means the failure of the Executive to
                    perform substantially his duties under this Agreement by
                    reason of a medically determined physical or mental
                    impairment for a period of 3 consecutive months or for
                    shorter periods aggregating 6 months over any consecutive 2
                    year period.

                         (e) Compensation Upon Termination. In the event of a
                    termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4,
                    the Company shall only be obligated to pay the Executive his
                    accrued compensation to the date of termination pursuant to
                    Sections 2(a)-(b). So long as the Executive has been
                    employed for at least two years hereunder prior to the
                    Executive's termination of employment with the Company, the
                    Company may in its sole discretion pay the Executive one
                    hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Royalty Interest
                    figure earned by the Executive for each fiscal year
                    remaining in the original six (6) year term hereof, payable
                    at the end of each such fiscal year with respect to the
                    Royalty Interest for that year, or the Executive's salary
                    figure earned during the final year of his employment with
                    the Company, whichever is greater.

         5. Business Conduct Guidelines. It is the intent of the parties that no
payments or transfers of value shall be made that have the purpose or effect of
public or commercial bribery, acceptance of or acquiescence in extortion,
kickbacks or other unlawful or improper means of obtaining business. This
provision shall not, however, prohibit normal and customary business
entertainment or the giving of business mementos of nominal value.

         6. Confidentiality. The Executive acknowledges that in and as a result
of his employment hereunder he will be making use of, acquiring, and/or adding
to confidential information of a special and unique nature deriving independent
economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, and not
being readily ascertainable by property means by, other persons who can obtain
economic value from its disclosure or use. Such information is hereinafter
referred to as "Confidential Information" and includes, without limitation, the
Company's products, designs, systems, software, data files, techniques, manuals,
confidential reports, the fees and other amounts paid by or to the Company's
customers and Vendors, the amounts the Company pays or has paid for products and
services, and other trade secrets and information the Executive knows or has
reason to know, or will know or have reason to know, the Company intends or
expects to remain confidential. As a material inducement to the Company to enter
into this Agreement and to pay to the Executive the compensation provided for in
Section 2 hereof, the Executive covenants and agrees that he shall not, at any
time during or following the Term, directly or indirectly, divulge or disclose
for any purpose whatsoever (except as required in the performance of his duties
hereunder), nor appropriate for his own use, any Confidential Information.
Provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6 shall be construed to prohibit
the Executive from disclosing or using for his own benefit following the Term
(i) any information that is generally known to, or readily ascertainable by
proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure
or use, including, without limitation, the identities of the Company's customers
and vendors (but not amounts paid by or to such customers or vendors or the fact
that such customers and vendors are customers and vendors of the Company), (ii)
any information that becomes available to the Executive on a non-confidential
basis from a source independent of the Company, which source is entitled to
disclose such information on a non-confidential basis, or (iii) any information
that is or has been made public other than by acts or omissions of the
Executive. The parties acknowledge that the Company's software, data files and
compilations of data are proprietary to the Company and confidential, even if
some or all of the information contained therein is not "Confidential
Information" as defined in this Section 6. The Executive shall not at any time
divulge, disclose, appropriate, use for his own purposes or transfer any of such
software, data files, or compilations of data, directly or indirectly,
regardless of whether the Executive is entitled to divulge, disclose,
appropriate, use for his own purposes or transfer any or all of the information
contained therein in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.

         7. Competition. During the Term and for a period of 2 years following
the expiration of the Term, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly own,
manage, invest or acquire any economic stake or interest in, or otherwise engage
or participate in any manner whatsoever (whether as a proprietor, partner,
independent contractor, consultant, lender, borrower, guarantor, lessor, lessee,
adviser or other participant) in any individual, corporation, association or
other business enterprise in any form, other than the Company, that is engaged
in the design or manufacture of all products made by the Company, its parent and
affiliates now or ever produced during the Term.

         8.       Inventions.

                         (a) The Company and the Executive acknowledge that
                    during the Term hereunder, and for a period of one year
                    thereafter, the Executive may create inventions. Any
                    inventions created by the Executive for use by the Company
                    in its business shall be the sole and exclusive property of
                    the Company. The Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the
                    Company all of his right, title and interest in and to any
                    such inventions and agrees to execute and assign any and all
                    applications, assignments, and other documents, and render
                    all assistance, reasonably necessary for the Company to
                    obtain patent, copyright or trademark protection for such
                    inventions in any country.

         9. Reduction Of Restrictions By Court Action. Each provision hereof,
including, without limitation, the periods of time, types and scopes of duties
of, and restrictions on the activities of, the Executive specified herein are
and are intended to be divisible, and if any portion thereof (including any
sentence, clause or part) shall be held contrary to law or invalid or
unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, or as to one or more periods
of time, areas or business activities or any part thereof, the remaining
provisions shall not be affected but shall remain in full force and effect as to
the other remaining parts, and any such invalid or unenforceable provision shall
be deemed, without further action on the part of any person, modified, amended
and limited to the extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in
such jurisdiction.

         10. Notices. Any notice, request, consent, demand, offer, acceptance or
other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be made in
writing and shall be given (i) by personal delivery; (ii) by first class
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested (and

appropriate telefax, telecopier or transmission number is included in the
address (and shall be deemed given on the date sent), or by Federal Express or

addressed to the parties hereto at their respective addresses.

         11. Waiver. The waiver by the Company or the Executive of a breach by
the other of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed
as a waiver of any subsequent such breach.

         12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and
enforced in accordance with the laws of Minnesota.

         13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes any and all prior oral or written understandings and agreements
between them with respect thereto.

         14. Representation and Warranties. In order to induce the Company to
enter into this Agreement, the representations, warranties and covenants set
forth in Section 5 of the Option Agreement are hereby reaffirmed by the
Executive.
