Letter Agreement between the Company and its executive officers] 

(Date) 

[Name of Executive Officer]

[Address of Executive Officer]

[Address of Executive Officer] 

Dear [Name of Executive Officer]: 

The purpose of this Letter Agreement is to set forth our agreement in regard
to your severance arrangement. Although your employment is “at will” and may be terminated by you or Rimage Corporation
(“Rimage”) at any time for any reason, Rimage has agreed to provide you with a particular severance pay benefit in the
event Rimage terminates your employment without Cause (as defined below) or, for the specified periods identified below following
the date of this Letter Agreement or following a Change in Control (as defined below), you terminate your employment for Good
Reason (as defined below). Terms not otherwise defined in this letter (the “Letter Agreement”) shall have the meaning
given such terms on Schedule 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Rimage’s obligation to you under this Letter
Agreement is, among the other requirements set forth below, subject to the condition that you execute a Nondisclosure and
Noncompetition Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by reference. 

Specifically, we have agreed as follows: 

	1.  	  	Severance.  

	  	(a)  	  	If your employment is terminated by Rimage without Cause (other
than during the twelve (12) month period following a Change in Control), subject to the condition stated in Section 1(c), Rimage
will: 

	  	  	(i)  	  	continue to pay your base salary in accordance with Rimage’s
regular payroll practices for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, or until you have secured other employment, whichever
occurs first, subject to applicable tax withholding; 

	  	  	(ii)  	  	pay you an amount equal to the average of the annual bonus amounts
you received with respect to the three complete calendar years prior to the date of your termination, such bonus payment, subject
to applicable tax withholding, to be made in equal installments consistent with Rimage’s regular payroll practices over a
period of twelve (12) months from the date of your termination, provided such installments shall cease at such time as you have
secured other employment; and 

	  	  	(iii)  	  	if you are eligible for and elect COBRA or state continuation of
the Rimage health, dental and group life insurance benefits, Rimage shall pay the portion of such COBRA premium that it pays for
active employees until the earlier of: (A) twelve (12) months from the date COBRA coverage begins; or (B) the date COBRA coverage
otherwise terminates. You shall pay the remaining portion of the premiums for such benefits during such period and, if applicable,
the full premium thereafter. 

	  	(b)  	  	If you resign (other than for Good Reason during the twelve (12)
month period following a Change in Control), if Rimage terminates your employment for Cause or if your employment terminates as a
result of your death or disability, you shall be entitled to receive your base salary accrued but unpaid as of the date of
termination, but shall not be entitled to receive any salary continuation benefit thereafter. 

	  	(c)  	  	In case of termination without Cause, you shall be entitled to
receive the amounts due you under Section 1(a) only upon your execution and delivery to Rimage of a general release with
respect to any and all claims against Rimage and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders, acceptable in form
and substance to Rimage in all respects, and provided you continue to comply with the terms of the Nondisclosure and
Noncompetition Agreement with Rimage. 

	2. 	  	Change in Control. 

	  	(a)  	  	If a Change in Control shall occur and if within twelve (12)
months of a Change in Control, your employment is terminated by Rimage without Cause or by you for Good Reason, Rimage shall pay
you a severance payment in cash in a single sum within sixty (60) days of the date of termination equal to 100% of the sum of (i)
your annual base salary, and (ii) your Target Bonus in effect on such date (without giving effect to any reduction that results in
your termination for Good Reason). For purposes of this Letter Agreement, “Target Bonus” shall mean the amount payable
in cash under all annual incentive compensation plans of Rimage in which you participate, waiving any condition precedent to the
payment to you and assuming that the performance goals for the period were achieved at the 100% level. 

	  	(b)  	  	If you are eligible for and elect COBRA or state continuation of
the Rimage health, dental and group life insurance benefits, Rimage shall pay the portion of such COBRA premium that it pays for
active employees until the earlier of: (A) twelve (12) months from the date COBRA coverage begins; or (B) the date COBRA coverage
otherwise terminates. You shall pay the remaining portion of the premiums for such benefits during such period. 

	  	(c)  	  	Immediately prior to a Change in Control, you shall vest in all
stock options that have been granted to you, subject to the provisions in Rimage’s Stock Option Plan. Approval of this
Agreement by the Compensation Committee shall be deemed approval of the vesting of options as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence for all purposes under Rimage’s Stock Option Plan. 

2 

	  	(d)  	  	The payments under this paragraph shall be in lieu of and offset
the amount of any severance to which you are entitled under paragraph 1(a) above. Amounts paid under this paragraph 2 shall be
subject to applicable tax withholding. 

	  	(e)  	  	In the event the vesting of options, together with all other
payments and the value of any benefit received or to be received by you would result in all or a portion of such amount being
subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) then you
shall only be entitled to an amount that would result in no portion of the amount being subject to excise tax under
Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”). In the event of any reduction in the amount under this Section 2(e),
you shall be permitted to designate those benefits or payments to be reduced. 

	  	(f)  	  	Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, you shall be
entitled to receive the amounts due you under this Section 2 only upon your execution and delivery to Rimage of a general
release with respect to any and all claims against Rimage and its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders,
acceptable in form and substance to Rimage in all respects, and provided you continue to comply with the terms of the
Nondisclosure and Noncompetition Agreement with Rimage. 

	3.  	  	Arbitration. All disputes or claims arising out of or in
any way related to this Letter Agreement, including the making of this Letter Agreement, shall be submitted to and determined by
final and binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association Rules for Resolution of Employment Disputes. Arbitration
proceedings may be initiated by either of us upon notice to the other and to the American Arbitration Association, and shall be
conducted by one arbitrator in Minneapolis, Minnesota who has experience in employment matters. Unless we agree to have the person
to serve as arbitrator within thirty (30) days of delivery of the list of proposed arbitrators by the American Arbitration
Association, then, at the request of either of us, the single arbitrator shall be selected at the discretion of the American
Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall provide a reasoned decision and may award any remedy available at law or equity,
including reasonable attorneys fees to the prevailing party. Rimage shall pay the costs of the arbitrator. The decision of the
arbitrator shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

	4.  	  	Entire Agreement. This Letter Agreement constitutes our
entire agreement and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings and agreements with respect to the severance benefits which
Rimage has agreed to provide to you, including the Letter Agreement dated ___________. This Letter Agreement shall be governed and
construed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and may be amended only in writing signed by both of us. 

3 

	5.  	  	Successors. This Letter Agreement shall not be assignable,
in whole or in part, by you. This Letter Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Rimage and its successors and
assigns and upon any person acquiring, by merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise, all or substantially all of the
assets and business of Rimage, and the successor shall be substituted for Rimage under this Letter Agreement. 

	6.  	  	Amendment and Termination. Rimage reserves the authority,
without your consent, to terminate or amend this Letter Agreement at any time upon at least twelve months’ written notice
specifying the date of termination or amendment; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs during the term of this
Letter Agreement, no termination or amendment shall be effective earlier than the second anniversary of that Change in Control.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any amount otherwise payable under this Letter Agreement is subject to
the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, Rimage shall amend this Letter Agreement as
it may determine such that the payment would avoid the imposition of any excise tax under such Section 409A of the Code,
including, without limitation, delaying the start of any payment to any key employee (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) for
no more than the later of six months from the date of termination of employment or the first date on which such payment would not
be non-deductible as a result of Section 162(m) of the Code, and in the event any such payment is so delayed, the amount of the
first payment shall be increased for interest earned on the delayed payment based upon interest for the period of delay,
compounded annually, equal to the prime rate (as published in the Wall Street Journal) in effect as of the date the payment should
otherwise have been provided. 

If this Letter Agreement accurately sets forth our agreement and
understanding in regard to these matters, will you please sign this Letter Agreement where indicated below and return the executed
letter to me for our files. A separate copy is enclosed for your records.
