§2. DUTIES. 
The Employee shall be employed as the President and Chief Operating

Directors (the “Board”) and shall report directly to the Group
President, Sheridan Publication Services, of the Employer.  The Employee agrees to devote his full time
and best efforts to the performance of his duties to the Employer.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed
as prohibiting the Employee from serving as a director of any entity that is
not in the Designated Industry, as defined in §8, so long as such activity does
not involve a substantial time commitment and otherwise does not interfere with
the performance of his duties under this Agreement.

§3. TERM. 
The term of employment of the Employee hereunder shall commence on April
1, 2007 (the “Commencement  Date”) and shall continue until March
31, 2008 (the “Initial  Term”), unless earlier terminated pursuant
to §6, and shall be renewed automatically for additional one (1) year terms
thereafter unless terminated by either party by written notice to the other
party given at least  ninety (90) days
prior to the expiration of the then current term.

§4. COMPENSATION  AND  BENEFITS.  During the term of the Employee’s employment
hereunder, in consideration for the services of the Employee hereunder, the
Employer shall compensate the Employee as follows:

(a) Base  Salary.  The Employer shall pay the Employee, in
accordance with the Employer’s current payroll practices, a base salary (the “Base
Salary”).  The Base Salary will be
paid at an annual rate of $210,000.  The
Base Salary may be increased from time to time at the discretion of the Board
and is in addition to the other benefits set forth herein.

(b) Management  Incentive  Bonus.  The Employee shall be eligible to receive
from the Employer, for each of the fiscal years of the Employer ended after the
date hereof, a management incentive bonus (the “Incentive  Bonus”)
in an amount up to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary for such fiscal year,
in accordance with an incentive bonus plan to be adopted by the Board prior to
the end of the first fiscal quarter for each such fiscal year.  In accordance with applicable Federal law,
the Incentive Bonus, if any, will be paid by the March 15 following the fiscal
year during which the Employee becomes vested in his Incentive Bonus.

(c) Insurance; Other  Benefits.  Accident, disability, and health insurance
for the Employee shall be provided by the Employer under group accident,
disability, and health insurance plans maintained by the Employer for, and on
the terms and conditions generally applicable to, its full-time, salaried
employees as such employment benefits may be modified from time to time by the
Employer for all full-time, salaried employees.  The amount and extent of such coverage shall
be subject to the discretion of the Board. 
The Employee shall also be eligible to participate in any deferred
compensation or retirement plans maintained by the Employer, in accordance with
the terms of such plans as in effect from time to time.

§5. EXPENSES.  The Employer shall reimburse the Employee for
all reasonable expenses of types authorized by the Employer and incurred by the

term of his employment hereunder or, at the option of the Employer, in the
event of the Employee’s physical or mental disability, upon thirty (30) days’
written notice from the Employer.  The
Employee shall be deemed disabled if an independent medical doctor (selected by
the Employer’s health or disability insurer) certifies that the Employee has
for 180 days, consecutive or non-consecutive, in any twelve (12) month
period been physically or mentally disabled in a manner which seriously interferes
with his ability to perform his responsibilities under this Agreement.  Any refusal by the Employee to submit to a
medical examination for the purpose of certifying physical or mental disability
under this §6(a) shall be deemed to constitute conclusive evidence of the
Employee’s physical or mental disability.

by the Employer to the Employee.  For
purposes of this Agreement, a termination shall be for Cause if any one or more
of the following has occurred:

(vi)  the Employee shall have engaged in the
unlawful use (including being under the influence) or possession of illegal
drugs on the Employer’s premises; or

(vii)  the Employee shall have breached any one or
more provisions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2003,
among the Employer and its stockholders as amended and in effect from time to
time, and such breach shall have continued for a period of ten (10) days after
written notice to the Employee specifying such breach in reasonable detail.

Without Cause.  Upon thirty (30) days’ written notice by the
Employer to the Employee without Cause or by the Employee to the Employer
without Good Reason (as defined below).

(d) Resignation  With  Good  Reason.  Upon written notice by the Employee to

termination.  For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of any of the
events or conditions described in subparagraphs (i) through (ii) hereof without
the Employee’s express written consent which is not corrected within twenty
(20) days after delivery by the Employee of written notice to the Employer:

 2
 

(i) a material
reduction in the Employee’s status, position, scope of authority or
responsibilities, the assignment to the Employee of any duties or
responsibilities which are materially inconsistent with such status, position,
authority or responsibilities; involuntary relocation of the Employee to an
extent requiring an increase in his commute to his normal place of employment
of more than 50 miles; or any removal of the Employee from or failure to
reappoint him to any of positions to which the Employee has been appointed by
the Employer, except in connection with the termination of his employment; or

(ii) a material
reduction by the Employer in the Employee’s compensation or benefits, except in
conjunction with a general reduction by the Employer in the salaries of it’s
executive level employees or the  DPC
site management team.

(e) Rights  and  Remedies  Upon
Termination.

(i) If
the Employee’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Employer without Cause
pursuant to §6(c) or by the Employee with Good Reason pursuant to §6(d), then
the Employee shall be entitled to receive (A) severance payments, in accordance
with the Employer’s payroll practices in existence on the date of Separation
from Service at an annual rate equal to the sum of (1) the Employee’s Base
Salary in effect at the time of such termination plus (2) the average of
the Incentive Bonuses earned by the Employee for the two fiscal years
immediately     preceding the date of
termination, for a period equal to eighteen (18) months (the “Severance Period”),
(B) provided that the Employee elects continuation coverage, commonly known as
COBRA coverage, under the health insurance plan maintained by the Employer for
its full time salaried employees, the Employer, during the Severance Period,
will pay the excess of the required COBRA premium for the Employee (and his
spouse and dependents to the extent covered by the Employer’s health insurance
plan at the time of Executive’s termination of employment) over the premium
paid by the Employee for such coverage immediately prior to the Employee’s
termination of employment, (C) payment of any expense reimbursements under §5
hereof for expenses incurred in the performance of his duties prior to
termination (which shall be  made by the
December 31 of the second calendar year following the year in which the
Employee experiences a Separation from Service), and (D) immediate vesting of
the Employee’s deferred compensation account in accordance with the Deferred
Compensation Plan.  No payment will be

Service (as defined in subsection (iv) below). 
Once payments commence under §6(e)(i)(A), there shall be no changes made
to the payment schedule.

(ii)
Notwithstanding the provisions of §6(e)(i), in the event the Employee accepts
other employment during the Severance Period, the Employer shall be entitled to
reduce the amount payable under §6(e)(i) by an amount equal to the income
received by the Employee pursuant to such new employment during the Severance
Period.

(iii) Except
as otherwise set forth in this §6(e), the Employee shall not be entitled to any
severance or other compensation after termination.

(iv) An
employee experiences a “Separation from Service” if the employee dies, retires,
or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Employer, within the
meaning of Internal Revenue Code section 409A. 
A “Separation from Service” shall occur if the Employee ceases to
perform significant services for the Employer (for example, if the annual level
of services and remuneration are reduced to less than twenty percent (20%) [or
less than fifty percent (50%), if the Employee becomes an independent
contractor] of average prior levels, 
based on the last three full calendar years of employment (or the actual
employment period, if shorter).

(v) A
“Separation from Service” shall not occur if the Employee is on military leave,
sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, if the period of such leave
does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Employee’s right to
reemployment with the Employer is provided either by statute or by contract. If
the period of leave exceeds six months and the Employee’s right to reemployment
is not provided either by statute or by contract, a “Separation from Service”
is deemed to occur on the first date immediately following such six-month
period.

§7. INVENTIONS; ASSIGNMENT.  All rights to discoveries, inventions,
improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining
thereto) related to the Employer’s business, whether or not patentable,
copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the
Employee may discover, invent or originate during the term of his employment
hereunder, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, either alone or with
others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities
of the Employer (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of the
Employer.  The Employee shall promptly
disclose all Inventions to the Employer, shall execute at the request of the Employer
any assignments or other

 3
 

documents the Employer
may deem necessary to protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist
the Employer, at the Employer’s expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing
the Employer’s rights therein.  The
Employee hereby appoints the Employer as his attorney-in-fact to
execute on his behalf any assignments or other documents deemed necessary by
the Employer to protect or perfect its rights to any Inventions.

§8. CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.  The Employee recognizes and acknowledges that
certain proprietary and confidential information of the Employer, including
without limitation information regarding customers, pricing policies, methods
of operation, proprietary computer programs, sales, products, profits, costs,
markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical processes,
and trade secrets (hereinafter called “Confidential  Information”)
are valuable, special, and unique assets of the Employer and its
affiliates.  The Employee shall not,
during or after his term of employment, disclose any or any part of the
Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any
other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly,
except as may be required pursuant to his employment hereunder and except as
required by law, unless and until such Confidential Information becomes
publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by the Employee of
his confidentiality obligations hereunder. 
In the event of the termination of his employment, whether voluntary or
involuntary and whether by the Employer or the Employee, the Employee shall
deliver to the Employer all documents and data pertaining to the Confidential
Information and shall not take with him any documents or data of any kind or
any reproductions (in whole or in part) or extracts of any items relating to
the Confidential Information.

§9. NON-COMPETITION.  In consideration of the Employer’s
obligations hereunder, during the term of the Employee’s employment hereunder
and during the Designated Period (as defined herein), the Employee will not (i)
anywhere within North America, engage, directly or indirectly, alone or as a
shareholder (other than as a holder of stock of the Employer (or any of its
affiliates) or as a holder of less than five percent (5%) of the common stock
of any publicly traded corporation), partner, officer, director, employee or
consultant of any other business organization that (A) is engaged or becomes
engaged in the business of providing publishing and printing services  journals, catalogs, and books or (B) is
engaged in any other business activity that the Employer is conducting at the
time of the Employee’s termination or any activity related thereto of which the
Employee had knowledge that the Employer proposes to conduct (the “Designated
Industry”), (ii) divert to any competitor of the Employer any customer
of the Employer, or (iii) solicit or encourage any officer, employee or
consultant of the Employer to leave its employ for employment by or with any
competitor of the Employer.  The term “Designated
Period” shall mean a period following the termination of the Employee’s
employment hereunder equal to the longer of (a) twelve (12) months and (b) the
Severance Period.  If at any time the
provisions of this §9 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, by
reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of
activity, this §9 shall be considered divisible and shall become and be
immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall be
determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having
jurisdiction over the matter; and the Employee agrees that this §9 as so
amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable
provision had not been included herein.

than twenty percent (20%) [or less than fifty percent (50%), if the Employee
becomes an independent contractor] of average prior levels,  based on the last three full calendar years
of employment (or the actual employment period, if shorter).

(v) A
“Separation from Service” shall not occur if the Employee is on military leave,
sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, if the period of such leave
does not exceed six months, or if longer, so long as the Employee’s right to
reemployment with the Employer is provided either by statute or by contract. If
the period of leave exceeds six months and the Employee’s right to reemployment
is not provided either by statute or by contract, a “Separation from Service”
is deemed to occur on the first date immediately following such six-month
period.

§7. INVENTIONS; ASSIGNMENT.  All rights to discoveries, inventions,
improvements and innovations (including all data and records pertaining
thereto) related to the Employer’s business, whether or not patentable,
copyrightable, registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the
Employee may discover, invent or originate during the term of his employment
hereunder, and for a period of six (6) months thereafter, either alone or with
others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities
of the Employer (“Inventions”), shall be the exclusive property of the
Employer.  The Employee shall promptly
disclose all Inventions to the Employer, shall execute at the request of the
Employer any assignments or other documents the Employer may deem necessary to
protect or perfect its rights therein, and shall assist the Employer, at the

 3
 

Employer’s
expense, in obtaining, defending and enforcing the Employer’s rights
therein.  The Employee hereby appoints
the Employer as his attorney-in-fact to execute on his behalf any assignments
or other documents deemed necessary by the Employer to protect or perfect its
rights to any Inventions.

§8. CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.  The Employee recognizes and acknowledges that
certain proprietary and confidential information of the Employer, including
without limitation information regarding customers, pricing policies, methods
of operation, proprietary computer programs, sales, products, profits, costs,
markets, key personnel, formulae, product applications, technical processes,
and trade secrets (hereinafter called “Confidential  Information”)
are valuable, special, and unique assets of the Employer and its
affiliates.  The Employee shall not,
during or after his term of employment, disclose any or any part of the
Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association, or any
other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly,
except as may be required pursuant to his employment hereunder and except as
required by law, unless and until such Confidential Information becomes
publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by the Employee of
his confidentiality obligations hereunder. 
In the event of the termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary
and whether by the Employer or the Employee, the Employee shall deliver to the
Employer all documents and data pertaining to the Confidential Information and
shall not take with him any documents or data of any kind or any reproductions
(in whole or in part) or extracts of any items relating to the Confidential
Information.

§9. NON-COMPETITION.  In consideration of the Employer’s
obligations hereunder, during the term of the Employee’s employment hereunder
and during the Designated Period (as defined herein), the Employee will not (i)
anywhere within North America, engage, directly or indirectly, alone or as a
shareholder (other than as a holder of stock of the Employer (or any of its
affiliates) or as a holder of less than five percent (5%) of the common stock
of any publicly traded corporation), partner, officer, director, employee or
consultant of any other business organization that (A) is engaged or becomes
engaged in the business of providing publishing and printing services  journals, catalogs, and books or (B) is
engaged in any other business activity that the Employer is conducting at the
time of the Employee’s termination or any activity related thereto of which the
Employee had knowledge that the Employer proposes to conduct (the “Designated
Industry”), (ii) divert to any competitor of the Employer any customer
of the Employer, or (iii) solicit or encourage any officer, employee or
consultant of the Employer to leave its employ for employment by or with any
competitor of the Employer.  The term “Designated
Period” shall mean a period following the termination of the Employee’s
employment hereunder equal to the longer of (a) twelve (12) months and (b) the
Severance Period.  If at any time the
provisions of this §9 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, by
reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration or scope of
activity, this §9 shall be considered divisible and shall become and be
immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of activity as shall
be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body
having jurisdiction over the matter; and the Employee agrees that this §9 as so
amended shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable
provision had not been included herein.

§10.

(a) Notices.  All notices and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing or by written telecommunication, and shall be

(b) Equitable Remedies.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and

will be entitled to specific performance and other appropriate injunctive and
equitable relief.

becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall
not in any way be affected or impaired.

(d) Waivers.  No delay or omission by either party hereto

preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate,
provided that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration
proceeding pursuant to this §10(g).  The
prevailing party shall be entitled to collect reasonable fees and expenses
incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such arbitration or
litigation from the other party to such arbitration or litigation.
