         Agreement or under any Related Document.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender, as

         times shall be, duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing
         under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Minnesota, Borrower
         maintains an office at 840 Lily Lane, Grand Rapids, MN 55744. Unless

         records concerning the Collateral. Borrower will notify Lender prior to
         any change in the location of Borrower's state of organization or any
         change in Borrower's name.

         NONE.

         AUTHORIZATION. Borrower's execution, delivery, and performance of this
         Agreement and all the Related Documents have been duly authorized by
         all necessary action by Borrower and do not conflict with, result in a
         violation of, or constitute a default under (1) any provision of
         Borrower's articles of incorporation or organization, or bylaws, or any
         agreement or other instrument binding upon Borrower or (2) any law,
         governmental regulation, court decree, or order applicable to Borrower
         or to Borrower's properties.

         PROPERTIES. Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as previously
         disclosed in Borrower's financial statements or in writing to Lender as
         accepted by Lender, and except for property tax liens for taxes not
         presently due and payable, Borrower owns and has good title to all of
         Borrower's properties free and clear of all liens and security
         interests, and has not executed any security documents or financing
         statements relating to such properties. All of Borrower's properties
         are titled in borrower's legal name, and Borrower has not used or filed
         a financing statement under any other name for at least the last five
         (5) years.

as this Agreement remains in effect, Borrower will:

         NOTICES OF CLAIMS AND LITIGATION. Promptly inform Lender in writing of
         (1) all material adverse changes in Borrower's financial condition, and
         (2) all existing and all threatened litigation, claims, investigations,
         administrative proceedings or similar actions affecting Borrower or any
         Guarantor which could materially affect the financial condition of
         Borrower or the financial condition of any Guarantor.

         FINANCIAL RECORDS. Maintain its books and records in accordance with
         accounting principles acceptable to Lender, applied on a consistent

         FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Furnish Lender with such financial statements and
         other related information at such frequencies and in such detail as
         Lender may reasonably request.

         operations, unless specifically consented to the contrary by Lender in
         writing.

         TAXES, CHARGES AND LIENS. Pay and discharge when due all of its

         kind and nature, imposed upon Borrower or its properties, income, or
         profits, prior to the date on which penalties would attach, and all

                                       2

         PERFORMANCE. Perform and comply, in a timely manner, with all terms,
         conditions, and provisions set forth in this Agreement, in the Relate
         Documents, and in all other instruments and agreements between Borrower
         and Lender. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately in writing of any
         default in connections with any agreement.

         OPERATIONS. Maintain executive and management personnel with
         substantially the same qualifications and experience as the present
         executive and management personnel; provide written notice to Lender of
         any change in executive and management personnel; conduct its business
         affairs in a reasonable and prudent manner.

         COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. Comply with all laws,
         ordinances, and regulations, now or hereafter in effect, of all
         governmental authorities applicable to the conduct of Borrower's
         properties, businesses and operations, and to the use or occupancy of
         the Collateral, including without limitation, the Americans With
         disabilities Act. Borrower may contest in good faith any such law,
         ordinance or regulation and withhold compliance during any proceeding
         including appropriate appeals, so long as Borrower has notified Lender
         in writing prior to doing so and so long as, in Lender's sole opinion,
         Lender's interests in the Collateral are not jeopardized. Lender may
         require Borrower to post adequate security or a surety bond, reasonably
         satisfactory to Lender, to protect Lender's interest.

         INSPECTION. Permit employees or agents of Lender at any reasonable time
         to inspect any and all Collateral for the Loan or Loans and Borrower's
         other properties and to examine or audit Borrower's books, accounts,
         and records and to make copies and memoranda of Borrower's books,
         accounts, and records. If Borrower now or at any time hereafter
         maintains any records (including without limitation computer generated
         records and computer software programs for the generation of such
         records) in the possession of a third party, Borrower, upon request of
         Lender, shall notify such party to permit Lender free access to such
         records at all reasonable times and to provide Lender with copies of
         any records it may request, all at Borrower's expense.

LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Borrower fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related documents, including
but not limited to Borrower's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Borrower is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Borrower's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate on any Collateral and paying all costs
for insuring, maintaining and preserving any Collateral. All such expenditures
incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear interest at the rate
charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by Lender to the date of
repayment by Borrower. All such expenses will become a part of the Indebtedness
and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand; (B) be added to the
balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be payable with any installment
payments to become due during either (1) the term of any applicable insurance
policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or (C) be treated as a balloon
payment which will be due and payable at the Note's maturity.

NEGATIVE COVENANTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that while this
Agreement is in effect, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lender:

         CONTINUITY OF OPERATIONS. (1) Engage in any business activities
         substantially different than those in which Borrower is presently
         engaged, (2) cease operations, liquidate, merge, transfer, acquire or
         consolidate with any other entity, change its name, dissolve or
         transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or
         (3) pay any dividends on Borrower's stock (other than dividends payable
         in its stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing,
         but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
         or would result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower is a
         "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
         1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its stock to its
         shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to enable the
         shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income tax payments
         to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law which arise
         solely from their status as Share holders of a Subchapter S Corporation
         because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock, or purchase
         or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or amend
         Borrower's capital structure.

                                       3

CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to
Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender
shall have no obligation to make loan advances or to disburse Loan proceeds if:
(A) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of this Agreement or
any other agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has with Lender; (B) Borrower
or any guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a
petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C)
there occurs a material adverse change in Borrower's financial condition, in the
financial conditions of any guarantor, or in the value of any collateral
securing any Loan; or (D) any guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to
limit, modify or revoke such guarantor's guaranty of the Loan or any other loan
with Lender; or (E) Lender in good faith deems itself insecure, even though no
Event of Default shall have occurred.

RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the
Indebtedness against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to
administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's
charge and setoff rights provided in this paragraph.

DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of default under this
Agreement:

         PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
         Loan.

         OTHER DEFAULT. Borrower fails to comply with any other term,
         obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any
         of the related Documents.

         DEFAULT IN FAVOR OF THIRD PARTIES. Borrower defaults under any loan,
         extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement,
         or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that
         may materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability
         to repay the Loans or perform Borrower's obligations under this
         Agreement or any related document.

         FALSE STATEMENTS. Any representation or statement made by Borrower to
         Lender is false in any material respect.

         INSOLVENCY. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a
         going business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a
         receiver for any part of Borrower's property, any assignment for the
         benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement
         of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against
         Borrower.

         CREDITOR OR FORFEITURE PROCEEDINGS. Commencement of foreclosure or
         forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help,
         repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any
         governmental agency against any collateral securing the Loan.

         EVENTS AFFECTING GUARANTOR. Any of the preceding events occurs with
         respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor
         dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or
         liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness.

         CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
         (25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.

         INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.

EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where
otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments
and obligations of Lender under this agreement immediately will terminate
(including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and,
at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable,
all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except that in the case of an Event
of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such
acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have
all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at
law, in equity, or otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all
of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not
exclude pursuit of any other remedy,

                                       4

<PAGE>

and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a
default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

FACSIMILE AND COUNTERPART. This document may be signed in any number of separate
copies, each of which shall be effective as an original, but all of which taken
together shall constitute a single document. An electronic transmission or other

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

       CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of June 2, 2003 between
Kontron Mobile Computing, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Company"), and
David C. Malmberg ("Malmberg"), an individual resident of the State of
Minnesota.

       WHEREAS, Malmberg has continuously served as a director of the Company
since October 1996 and as the Company's Chairman since January 1997; and

       WHEREAS, Malmberg previously served as the Company's Chief Executive
Officer from July 1998 until July 1999; and

       WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Malmberg to render consulting and
advisory services for the Company and its affiliates on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, and Malmberg desires to be retained by the Company
on such terms and conditions.

       NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual agreements
herein set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

       1. Retention of Malmberg; Services to be Performed.

          (a) The Company hereby retains Malmberg to render such consulting and
       advisory services as the Company may request from time to time. Malmberg
       hereby accepts such engagement and agrees to perform such services upon
       the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. During the Term (as
       defined in Section 2), Malmberg shall devote such portion of his time,
       attention, skill and energy to the business of the Company and its
       affiliates as may be reasonably required to perform the services required
       by this Agreement, and shall assume and perform to the best of his
       ability such reasonable responsibilities and duties as the Company shall
       assign to Malmberg from time to time. Malmberg shall report to the
       Company's Board of Directors.

          (b) Malmberg shall perform the services hereunder primarily at the
       Company's headquarters located at 7631 Anagram Drive, Eden Prairie,
       Minnesota, but he shall, at the Company's expense, also be required to
       render the services at such other locations as the Company may specify
       from time to time; provided, however, that Malmberg shall not be required
       at any time to move from his then-current principal residence.

          (c) In rendering services hereunder, Malmberg shall be acting as an
       independent contractor and not as an employee or agent of the Company. As
       an independent contractor, Malmberg shall have no authority, express or
       implied, to commit or obligate the Company in any manner whatsoever,
       except as specifically authorized from time to time in writing by an
       authorized representative of the Company, which authorization may be
       general or specific. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
       construed or applied to create a partnership. Malmberg shall be
       responsible for the

<PAGE>

       payment of all federal, state or local taxes payable with respect to all
       amounts paid to Malmberg under this Agreement; provided, however, that if
       the Company is determined to be liable for collection and/or remittance
       of any such taxes, Malmberg shall immediately reimburse the Company for
       all such payments made by the Company.

       2. Term. Unless terminated at an earlier date in accordance with Section
6, this Agreement shall commence as of the date first written above and shall
continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2020 (the "Term").

       3. Compensation. As compensation in full for Malmberg's services
hereunder, and in consideration for past services rendered by Malmberg to the
Company prior to the date hereof, the Company shall make a one-time payment to
Malmberg on the date of this Agreement of $56,383.00. In addition, the Company
shall pay to Malmberg if he is living, or, if Malmberg is not living, to Sue
Malmberg, if she is then living, a retainer in the amount of $29,880.00 per
annum. The first annual retainer payment shall be payable on the date of this
Agreement and each subsequent retainer payment shall be payable on January 1 of
each year during the Term beginning on January 1, 2004. If Malmberg dies before
the end of the Term, the Company shall pay to Sue Malmberg the remaining unpaid
annual retainer payments as they become due as provided above; provided,
however, that in the event Sue Malmberg does not survive Malmberg or Sue
Malmberg survives Malmberg but dies during the term of this Agreement, the
Company no longer shall be obligated to make any further payments hereunder.

       4. Expenses. The Company shall reimburse Malmberg in accordance with the
policies and procedures that the Company establishes from time to time for all
reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses that Malmberg incurs in
performing the services hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable
travel expenses incurred by Malmberg.

       5. Protection of Confidential Information.

          (a) Confidential Information. Except as permitted or directed by the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company, during the Term or at any time
thereafter Malmberg shall not divulge, furnish or make accessible to anyone or
use in any way (other than in the ordinary course of the business of the
Company) any confidential or secret knowledge or information of the Company that
Malmberg has acquired or become acquainted with or will acquire or become
acquainted with during the Term or during engagement by the Company or any
affiliated companies prior to the Term, whether developed by Malmberg or by
others, concerning any trade secrets, confidential or secret designs, processes,
formulae, products or future products, plans, devices or material (whether or
not patented or patentable) directly or indirectly useful in any aspect of the
business of the Company, any customer or supplier lists of the Company, any
confidential or secret development or research work of the Company, or any other
confidential information or secret aspects of the business of the Company.
Malmberg acknowledges that the above-described knowledge or information
constitutes a unique and valuable asset of the Company acquired at great time
and expense by the Company and its predecessors, and that any disclosure or
other use of such knowledge or information other than for the sole benefit of
the Company would be wrongful and would cause irreparable harm to the Company.
Both during and after the Term, Malmberg will refrain from any acts or omissions
that would reduce the value of such knowledge or information to the Company. The
foregoing obligations of

                                        2

<PAGE>

confidentiality, however, shall not apply to any knowledge or information which
is now published or which subsequently becomes generally publicly known in the
form in which it was obtained from the Company, other than as a direct or
indirect result of the breach of this Agreement by Malmberg.

          (b) Return of Records. Upon termination of this Agreement, Malmberg
shall deliver to the Company all property that is in his possession and that is
the Company's property or relates to the Company's business, including, but not
limited to records, notes, data, memoranda, software, electronic information,
models, equipment, and any copies of the same. Malmberg shall permanently delete
all of his electronic data containing such property.

       6. Termination.

          (a) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and
       Malmberg hereunder (other than the rights and obligations of the parties
       under Sections 5 and 6, and except as specifically describe in Section
       6(b) below) shall be terminated immediately upon the occurrence of any of
       the following events:

          (i) Malmberg's death;

          (ii) Malmberg has committed fraud, misappropriation, embezzlement or
       any other felony in connection with the Company's business; or

          (iii) a party is in material breach of this Agreement and has failed
       to cure such material breach within 30 days of the receipt of written
       notice of breach from the non-breaching party.

       If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section
6(a)(ii) or 6(a)(iii), all rights to receive retainer payments under this
Agreement shall terminate on such date. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant
to Section 6(a)(i) or by Malmberg pursuant to 6(a)(iii), the Company will
continue to be obligated to make payments to Malmberg if he is living, or, if
Malmberg is not living, to Sue Malmberg, if she is then living, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3 above; provided, however,
that in the event Sue Malmberg does not survive Malmberg or Sue Malmberg
survives Malmberg but dies during the term of this Agreement, the Company no
longer shall be obligated to make any further payments hereunder.
