During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as the Company's President,
and perform duties on behalf of the Company and/or its Affiliates (as

      Executive’s employment under this
Agreement shall in all respects be subject to the authority, direction and
control of, and Executive shall report exclusively to, the Chief Executive
Officer of
the Company.  Executive shall in all events comply with all lawful
policies and directives, and the by-laws, of the Company and/or Parent. In no
event shall Executive incur any monetary obligations on behalf of the Company
and/or its Affiliates in excess of $500,000.00 at any one time without the prior
written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, that
Executive shall not cause the Company and/or its Affiliates to incur any amounts
in respect of any capital  expenditures and/or cause the Company
and/or its Affiliates to expend any proceeds of the Bank Loan Advance (as
defined in the Merger Agreement), without the prior written approval of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company in each instance.

      

      Executive
hereby agrees to serve without additional compensation as an officer or Director
of any of the Company’s subsidiaries or Affiliates, as the same may exist from
time to time. The parties further acknowledge that the Company may at any time
assign Executive to any of its subsidiaries and/or Affiliates for such payroll
or other purposes.

      

      Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, during the term of this Agreement and otherwise subject
to the terms thereof, Parent shall also cause Executive to be nominated as a
Director of Parent pursuant to Section 5.05 of the Merger
Agreement.  Provident Pioneer Partners, L.P., a stockholder of Parent,
and Executive have entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of the date hereof,
relating to the voting for the election of Executive as a Director of
Parent.

      

      The
parties hereby acknowledge that, for a period of approximately six (6) months
prior to the date hereof, Executive has been a full-time employee of TDK
Holdings, Ltd., a Wisconsin corporation (“TDK”), and during this period, TDK
furnished the services of Executive to the Company.  Executive is the
sole stockholder of TDK.

      

      Executive
has accepted an offer of employment with the Company solely in respect of the
period following the closing of the Merger pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.  Executive hereby acknowledge and agrees that the Company
shall not assume or be responsible in any manner for any liabilities and
obligations relating to the Executive as an employee of TDK prior to the date
hereof and/or at any other time whatsoever and/or relating to the termination of
Executive as an employee of TDK.  Executive hereby represents and
warrants to the Company that the Company has no obligation or liability to TDK
resulting from or arising from the Company and Executive entering into this
Agreement, and that there are no other agreements entered into by Executive with
TDK or any other party which conflicts with, or otherwise restricts, the
employment arrangements set forth in this Agreement.

      Employee
shall perform his duties under this Agreement at the Company’s principal office
or other locations as may be required by the Company and/or its
Affiliates.  The parties hereby acknowledge that Employee’s duties
hereunder may require extensive travel and performance of such duties at remote
locations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be
required to relocate his principal residence for a geographic radius in excess
of fifty (50) miles from Executive’s current principal residence in connection
with the performance of his duties under this Agreement.  In the
event, however, that the Company shall require Executive to relocate
his  principal residence beyond such geographic radius (i.e., more
than 50 miles from the current principal residence), then such required
relocation shall be deemed to constitute a termination without cause by the
Company hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may elect
to accept any such relocation of his principal residence beyond such 50 mile
radius, whereupon the Company shall pay or reimburse Executive for all
reasonable costs in connection with such relocation.

      

      3.           Devotion of Time.
During the Employment Period, Executive shall: (a) expend substantially all of
his working time for the Company on a full-time basis; (b) devote his best
efforts, energy and skill to the services of the Company and the promotion of
its interests; and (c) not take part in any activities detrimental to the best
interests of the Company.

      

      4.           Compensation.

      

      4.1           In
consideration for the services to be performed by Executive during the
Employment Period hereunder, the Company shall pay to Executive a base salary at
the rate of $312,000.00 per annum, payable in accordance with the Company's
customary payroll practices for executive employees.

      

      4.2           Executive
shall be entitled to paid vacation of four (4) weeks per calendar year during
the Employment Period.

      

      4.3           Executive

requirements.

      

      4.4           Executive
shall be entitled to participate in the additional employee benefits and/or
fringe benefits annexed hereto as Schedule
C (the “Additional Benefits”), but only if and to the extent such
Additional Benefits are then generally made available by the Company to all of
its employees, and subject to applicable eligibility
requirements.  Executive hereby acknowledges that the Company has no
obligation to make such Additional Benefits available to any of its employees,
including Executive. 

      

      4.5           The
Company shall pay directly, or reimburse Executive for, all reasonable and
necessary out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements actually incurred by him in
connection with the performance of his duties under this Agreement. For such
purposes, Executive shall submit to the Company itemized reports of such
expenses in accordance with the Company's policies in effect from time to

      5.           Non-Competition
Provisions and Confidentiality Agreement.  The parties hereby
acknowledge that Section 5.07 of the Merger Agreement sets forth certain
non-competition provisions involving Executive in respect of the business of the
Company and/or its Affiliates (the “Non-Competition Provisions”).  The
parties further acknowledge that the Company and Executive have entered into the
Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the

with Executive’s duties (consistent with fiduciary duties of standard of care
and loyalty) to provide employment services hereunder that are solely in the

to, situations where the Executive or any personal or business relationship of
Executive has a financial or other interest that is likely to reduce the
objectivity of the Executive’s evaluation or advice which respect to such
services hereunder.

      

      7.2           Executive
hereby represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the date hereof, he is
not subject to any duties or restrictions under any prior agreement with any
previous employer or other person or entity and that there are no rights or
obligations which may conflict in any material respect with the interests of the
Company and/or with the performance of Executive’s duties and obligations under
this Agreement.

interests of the Company.

Property.

shall at any time prepare or receive from the Company and/or its subsidiaries
and Affiliates (and all copies or reproductions of any such documents and/or
other material then in Executive’s possession or control shall in all events and
at all times be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company)
(collectively, the “Company Property”). Executive also represents that he will
not at any time, except in the ordinary course of business, copy or cause to be
copied, print out or cause to be printed out, or disclose or publish, any
software, documents or other material originating with, owned by or belonging to
the Company.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive’s

      9.           Injunctive
Relief.  Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event
he shall violate any provision of Sections 5 and 7 hereof, the Company shall be
without an adequate remedy at law and, accordingly, shall be entitled to enforce
such restriction by temporary or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief
obtained in any action or proceeding instituted in any court of competent
jurisdiction without the necessity of proving damages and without prejudice to
any other remedies which the Company may have at law or in equity.

benefit of Executive, and no other person shall acquire any right, title or
interest hereunder by reason of any sale, assignment, transfer, claim or
judgment or bankruptcy proceedings against Executive.

person as a successor Director.

        

      3.            No Inconsistent
Agreement.  Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees not to
enter into any agreement that would materially restrict or interfere with, or
otherwise circumvent, the performance of Stockholder's obligations under this
Agreement.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any manner
whatsoever be deemed to limit or restrict the ability of Stockholder to at any
time sell, transfer or assign in any manner any Stockholder Shares and/or any
other capital stock of Parent held by the Stockholder, including without
limitation, the distribution of any such shares to its
partners.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and provisions of
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect upon any assignment or
transfer by Stockholder of any Stockholder Shares to any of its Affiliates (as
defined in the Merger Agreement).

      (iii)  Stockholder has all
necessary power, authority and legal capacity to make, enter into and carry out
the terms of this Agreement and no other proceedings or actions on the part of

based upon any representations or warranties of Stockholder set forth herein,
provided that such claims have been made in a timely manner hereunder prior to
the Expiration Date.

           

      7.            Miscellaneous.

                

      (a)  Severability. In the
event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes
or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and
effect and the application of such provision to other persons, entities or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such illegal, void or
unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a legal, valid and enforceable
provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic,
business and other purposes of such illegal, void or unenforceable
provision.

                

      (b) No Assignment. This
Agreement relating to the voting by Stockholder of the Stockholder Shares is a
personal contract and the right, title and interest of Klink hereunder shall not

whatsoever.

Modification. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or
supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement
executed by each of the parties hereto.  No waiver by any party hereto
