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

                  (a)      If, within the period commencing ninety (90) days
prior to a Change of Control and ending twelve (12) months following such Change
of Control, (i) the Officer suffers a Termination of Employment for any reason
other than Cause, or (ii) the Officer suffers a Constructive Termination Without
Cause, the Company shall pay to the Officer a Change of Control Payment in one
lump sum within three (3) months of the Termination Date. Interest shall be

                  (c)      If the Officer becomes entitled to a Change of
Control Payment, the Company shall continue to provide any automobile or
automobile allowance made available to the Officer immediately prior to the
Change of Control for a period of twelve (12) months following the Termination
Date.

         3.       Other Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Officer's continuing or future participation in or rights under any
benefit, bonus, incentive, or other plan or program provided by the Company, and
for which the Officer may qualify, from the date hereof through the Termination
Date. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Officer is a participant in the
Quipp, Inc. Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), the Officer
shall be entitled to receive payment in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9 of the Plan ("Section 9"), provided, that, following a Change of
Control, the term "cause" as used in Section 9 shall have the meaning set forth
in Section 1(b) of this Agreement, and a Constructive Termination Without Cause
shall not be deemed to be a "voluntary resignation" for the purposes of Section
9.

         4.       Taxes. Any Change of Control Payment required under this
Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of the law with regard to the
withholding of taxes, filing, making of reports, and the like, and the Company
shall use its best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements.

         5.       Certain Reduction of Payments.
                  ------------------------------

                  (a)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that it shall be determined that any payments or
distributions by Quipp or Quipp Systems to the Officer, whether paid or payable
or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, would constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder, the Change of Control Payment to or for the benefit of
the Officer pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to
the extent necessary so that such payments or distributions shall not constitute
"excess parachute payments."

                  (b)      All determinations to be made under Section 5(a)
shall be made by the Company's independent certified public accounting firm
immediately prior to the Change of Control (the "Accounting Firm"). The
Accounting Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations
to both the Company and the Officer within sixty (60) days of the Termination
Date, and such determinations shall be binding upon the Company and the Officer.
All of the fees and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm in performing the
determinations above shall be borne solely by the Company.

         6.       Confidentiality.
                  ----------------

                  (a)      During or after the Termination Date, the Officer
shall not (i) use or exploit in any manner Confidential Information for himself
or any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity other than
the Company; (ii) remove any Confidential Information, or any reproduction
thereof, from the possession or control of the Company; or (iii) treat
Confidential Information other than in a confidential manner.

<PAGE>

                  (b)      All Confidential Information developed, created, or
maintained by the Officer, alone or with others while employed by the Company,
and all Confidential Information maintained by the Officer thereafter, shall
remain at all times the exclusive property of the Company. The Officer shall
return to the Company all Confidential Information, and reproductions thereof,
whether prepared by him or others, that are in his possession immediately upon
request and in any event upon the termination of his employment with the
Company.

         7.       Agreement Not to Compete.
                  -------------------------

                  (a)      During the Restricted Period, the Officer shall not,
at any time within the Territory, directly or indirectly, engage in, or have any
interest on behalf of himself or others in, any firm, corporation, or business
(whether as Officer, officer, director, agent, security holder, creditor,
partner, joint venturer, beneficiary under a trust, investor, consultant, or
otherwise) that engages within the Territory in a Restricted Business; provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent or prohibit the Officer
from owning of record or beneficially up to one percent (1%) of the stock or
equity of any corporation or other business entity engaged in the Restricted
Business if such corporation or other entity is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the NASDAQ National Market. In
addition, during the Restricted Period, the Officer shall not directly or
indirectly solicit or otherwise encourage any of the Company's employees to
terminate their employment with the Company.

                  (b)      If a court determines that the foregoing restrictions
are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable law, including with
respect to time, space or business, the court is hereby requested and authorized
by the parties hereto to revise the foregoing restriction to include the maximum
restrictions allowable under applicable law. The Officer acknowledges, however,
that this Section 9 has been negotiated by the parties hereto and that the
geographical and time limitations, as well as the limitation on activities, are
reasonable in light of the circumstances pertaining to the business of the
Company.

         8.       Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.
                  -------------------------------

                  (a)      In the event the Officer violates either Section 6 or
Section 7, the Officer shall immediately repay any Change of Control Payment
received under this Agreement to the Company.

                  (b)      The Officer expressly acknowledges that the remedy at
law for any breach of Sections 6 or 7 will be inadequate and that upon any such
breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right
to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in equity or
otherwise, and to enforce the specific performance of the Officer's obligations
under these provisions without having to prove actual damage to the Company or
the inadequacy of a legal remedy.

                  (c)      No right conferred upon a party by this Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such
right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right
or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No
delay or omission by a party in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder
or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as a waiver thereof.

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

                           (a) If, within the period commencing ninety (90) days
prior to a Change of Control and ending twelve (12) months following such Change
of Control, (i) the Officer suffers a Termination of Employment for any reason
other than Cause, or (ii) the Officer suffers a Constructive Termination Without
Cause, the Company shall pay to the Officer a Change of Control Payment in one
lump sum within three (3) months of the Termination Date. Interest shall be
credited on the Change of Control Payment for the time it remains unpaid after
three months following the Termination Date at a rate equal to three (3)
percentage points plus the prime rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the
Termination Date or, if not available on such date, the next prime rate quoted
in the Wall Street Journal. The Change of Control Payment shall be made by mail
to the last known address provided by the Officer to the Company. In the event
the Company rehires the Officer within twelve (12) months of his termination,
the Officer shall return the Change of Control Payment to the Company.

                           (b) If the Officer becomes entitled to a Change of

Control Payment, the Company shall continue to provide any automobile or
automobile allowance made available to the Officer immediately prior to the

<PAGE>

                  3. Other Benefits. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or
limit the Officer's continuing or future participation in or rights under any
benefit, bonus, incentive, or other plan or program provided by the Company, and
for which the Officer may qualify, from the date hereof through the Termination
Date. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Officer is a participant in the
Quipp, Inc. Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), the Officer
shall be entitled to receive payment in accordance with the provisions of
Section 9 of the Plan ("Section 9"), provided, that, following a Change of
Control, the term "cause" as used in Section 9 shall have the meaning set forth
in Section 1(b) of this Agreement, and a Constructive Termination Without Cause
shall not be deemed to be a "voluntary resignation" for the purposes of Section
9.

                  4. Taxes. Any Change of Control Payment required under this
Agreement shall be subject to all requirements of the law with regard to the
withholding of taxes, filing, making of reports, and the like, and the Company
shall use its best efforts to satisfy promptly all such requirements.

                  5.       Certain Reduction of Payments.
                           -----------------------------

                           (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that it shall be determined that any payments or
distributions by Quipp or Quipp Systems to the Officer, whether paid or payable
or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise, would constitute "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the
regulations thereunder, the Change of Control Payment to or for the benefit of
the Officer pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced (but not below zero) to
the extent necessary so that such payments or distributions shall not constitute
"excess parachute payments."

                           (b) All determinations to be made under Section 5(a)
shall be made by the Company's independent certified public accounting firm
immediately prior to the Change of Control (the "Accounting Firm"). The
Accounting Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations
to both the Company and the Officer within sixty (60) days of the Termination
Date, and such determinations shall be binding upon the Company and the Officer.
All of the fees and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm in performing the
determinations above shall be borne solely by the Company.

                  6.       Confidentiality.
                           ---------------

                           (a) During or after the Termination Date, the Officer
shall not (i) use or exploit in any manner Confidential Information for himself
or any person, partnership, association, corporation, or other entity other than
the Company; (ii) remove any Confidential Information, or any reproduction
thereof, from the possession or control of the Company; or (iii) treat
Confidential Information other than in a confidential manner.

                                       4
<PAGE>

                           (b) All Confidential Information developed, created,
or maintained by the Officer, alone or with others while employed by the
Company, and all Confidential Information maintained by the Officer thereafter,
shall remain at all times the exclusive property of the Company. The Officer
shall return to the Company all Confidential Information, and reproductions
thereof, whether prepared by him or others, that are in his possession
immediately upon request and in any event upon the termination of his employment
with the Company.

                  7.       Agreement Not to Compete.
                           ------------------------

                           (a) During the Restricted Period, the Officer shall
not, at any time within the Territory, directly or indirectly, engage in, or
have any interest on behalf of himself or others in, any firm, corporation, or
business (whether as Officer, officer, director, agent, security holder,
creditor, partner, joint venturer, beneficiary under a trust, investor,
consultant, or otherwise) that engages within the Territory in a Restricted
Business; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent or
prohibit the Officer from owning of record or beneficially up to one percent
(1%) of the stock or equity of any corporation or other business entity engaged
in the Restricted Business if such corporation or other entity is traded on the
New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, or the NASDAQ National
Market. In addition, during the Restricted Period, the Officer shall not
directly or indirectly solicit or otherwise encourage any of the Company's
employees to terminate their employment with the Company.

                           (b) If a court determines that the foregoing
restrictions are too broad or otherwise unreasonable under applicable law,
including with respect to time, space or business, the court is hereby requested
and authorized by the parties hereto to revise the foregoing restriction to
include the maximum restrictions allowable under applicable law. The Officer
acknowledges, however, that this Section 9 has been negotiated by the parties
hereto and that the geographical and time limitations, as well as the limitation
on activities, are reasonable in light of the circumstances pertaining to the
business of the Company.

                  8.       Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.
                           ------------------------------

                           (a) In the event the Officer violates either Section
6 or Section 7, the Officer shall immediately repay any Change of Control
Payment received under this Agreement to the Company.

                           (b) The Officer expressly acknowledges that the
remedy at law for any breach of Sections 6 or 7 will be inadequate and that upon
any such breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled as a matter
of right to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, in equity
or otherwise, and to enforce the specific performance of the Officer's
obligations under these provisions without having to prove actual damage to the
Company or the inadequacy of a legal remedy.

                           (c) No right conferred upon a party by this Agreement
is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every
such right or remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other
right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity. No delay or omission by a party in exercising any right,

                                       5
<PAGE>

remedy, or power hereunder or existing at law or in equity shall be construed as
a waiver thereof.

permitted hereunder or necessary or convenient in connection herewith shall be

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

                           (a) This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements,
sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to
the subject matter hereof and cannot be changed, modified, extended, or
terminated except upon written amendment executed by the Officer and the
Company. (b) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Officer
any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

                           (c) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall
inure to the benefit of, the Company and the Officer, and their respective

Company shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder to any successor in
interest, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or otherwise.

                  12. No Mitigation. The Company agrees that, if the Officer's
employment with the Company terminates during the term of this Agreement, the
Officer is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to
reduce any amounts payable to the Officer by the Company pursuant to the terms
hereof. Further, the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
Agreement shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by the Officer as the
result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset
against any amount claimed to be owed by the Officer to the Company, or
otherwise.

                  13. Severability. Any invalidity, illegality, or limitation of
the enforceability with respect to any one or more of the provisions of this
Agreement, or any part thereof, shall in no way affect or impair the validity,
legality, or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. In case
any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it
shall, to the extent practicable, be modified so as to make it valid, legal, and
enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent of the parties,
and the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

                  14. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall commence on the
date hereof and shall continue in effect until twenty-four (24) months beyond
the month in which a Change in Control occurs.

                  15. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement shall survive any termination of the Officer's
employment to the extent necessary for the preservation of such rights and
obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, the right to receive a Change of
Control Payment under Section 2 of this Agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement.

                  16. Miscellaneous. All section headings are for convenience
only. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which is
an original. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or any
counterpart hereof to produce or account for any of the other counterparts.
