MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

EXHIBIT 10.5

AGREEMENT entered into as of <<Date>> by and between Xxxxxxx Company, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”), and <<Name>> (the “Executive”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Executive is a key member of the management of the Company and is expected to devote substantial skill and effort to the affairs of the Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company desires to recognize the significant personal contribution that the Executive has made and is expected to continue to make to further the best interests of the Company and its shareholders; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to continue to obtain the benefits of the Executive’s services and attention to the affairs of the Company; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide inducement for the Executive (A) to remain in the service of the Company in the event of any proposed or anticipated change in control of the Company and (B) to remain in the service of the Company in order to facilitate an orderly transition in the event of a change in control of the Company; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders that the Executive be in a position to make judgments and advise the Company with respect to proposed changes in control of the Company without regard to the possibility that the Executive’s employment may be terminated without compensation in the event of certain changes in control of the Company; and

WHEREAS, the Executive desires to be protected in the event of termination of the employment of the Executive by the Company or termination of employment by the Executive for Good Reason (as defined in Section 9); and

WHEREAS, for the reasons set forth above, the Company and the Executive desire to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1. Employment. The Executive shall remain in the employ of the Company for the Term (as defined in Section 22) of this Agreement, as <<Title>> of the Company and shall have all duties customarily associated with such office and shall perform such other duties as may be specified by the Board of Directors and/or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, that either the Executive or the Company may terminate

the employment of the Executive with the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, with or without Cause and for any reason whatever, in the manner provided in Section 4, subject to the right of the Executive to receive any payment and other benefits that may be due pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 5 or 6 (as the case may be). While the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Executive shall devote substantially all of Executive’s business time and energy to the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder and shall not accept other employment with or engage in or render services to any other business or enterprise.

2. Compensation.

(a) During the Term, the Executive shall receive such base salary (the “Base Salary”) per Employment Year (as defined in Section 9), prorated for any partial Employment Year, as the Board of Directors shall from time to time determine. Subject to all terms and conditions hereof, while the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder during the Term, the Company shall pay to the Executive an annual base salary (“Base Salary”) of $<<Amount>> per Employment Year (as defined in Section 9), prorated for any partial Employment Year, or such higher amount as is from time to time hereafter established by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Executive’s Base Salary shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices. The Board of Directors of the Company will review the Executive’s Base Salary at the beginning of each Employment Year commencing after December 31, 2000, to determine whether a change in the annual amount thereof is merited. In no event shall the Board of Directors decrease the Executive’s Base Salary in any Employment Year by more than 15% of the amount of Base Salary paid by the Company to the Executive for the immediately preceding Employment Year.

(b) Subject to all terms and conditions hereof, while the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Executive shall participate in the STIP, as defined in Section 9.

3. Fringe Benefits.

(a) While the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder during the Term, the Company shall provide to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents such medical, dental and life insurance and disability, retirement savings, vacation, sick leave and other employee and fringe benefits as are provided from time to time by the Company to its senior executives and their dependents, in accordance with the general benefits practices of the Company then in effect; provided, however, that the benefits provided to the Executive and the Executive’s dependents hereunder shall in no event be less favorable to them, on a benefit-by-benefit basis, than the benefits provided by the Company to its senior executives and their dependents on the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything stated in this Section 3(a), coverage of the Executive and the Executive’s dependents under medical, dental, and life insurance and disability plans, programs and benefits shall be available only if the Executive and the Executive’s dependents satisfy applicable waiting periods under such plans, programs and benefits.

(b) The Company shall promptly reimburse the Executive for all reasonable travel and other expenses that are incurred by the Executive during the Term in connection with the conduct of the business of the Company while the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder and for which the Executive furnishes appropriate documentation in accordance with the Company’s general expense reimbursement practices then in effect.

(v) the Company shall pay to the Executive, in accordance with Section 3(b), all amounts due thereunder for reimbursement of expenses.

6. Payments upon Termination in Connection with, or Following, a Change in Control. If any Change in Control shall occur during the Term of this Agreement and the Executive’s employment by the Company shall end at the time of, or at any time after, the occurrence of the earliest Change in Control to occur (the “First Change in Control”) and prior to the end of the Transition Period (as defined in Section 9), then the Company or its successor (which term as used herein shall include any person acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the Company) shall pay cash to the Executive and provide other benefits on the following basis (it being understood that if the Executive’s employment by the Company terminates voluntarily or involuntarily during the Term, but prior to the occurrence of the First Change in Control, the Executive shall be entitled to no cash payment or benefits under this Section 6, but shall be entitled to payments and benefits to the extent provided in Section 5):

(a) If at the time of, or at any time after, the occurrence of the First Change in Control and prior to the end of the Transition Period, the employment of the Executive with the Company is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated for any reason (unless such termination is a voluntary termination by the Executive other than for Good Reason or is on account of the death or Disability of the Executive or is a termination by the Company for Cause), the Executive (or the Executive’s legal representative), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6(b),

(i) shall be entitled to receive from the Company or its successor, on the Termination Date (or, in the event of termination by the Executive for Good Reason, within five days after the Termination Date), a cash payment in an amount equal to (A) three times (or one time in the case of a voluntary termination by the Executive during the Window Period, as defined in Section 9(e)(iii)(E), which, but for Section 9(e)(iii)(E), would not constitute a termination for Good Reason) the average annual compensation payable by the Company and includible in the gross income for Federal Income Tax purposes of the Executive during the shorter of the period consisting of (1) the most recent five completed taxable years of the Executive ending before the First Change in Control (other than a Change in Control described in Section 9(b)(iv) unless the Executive is terminated prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9(b)) or (2) that portion of such five-year period during which the Executive was employed by the Company (for which purpose compensation for a partial year shall be annualized before determining average annual compensation for the period in accordance with temporary or final regulations promulgated under Section 280(G)(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any successor provision thereto), less (B) $1.00, such payment to be made to the Executive by the Company or its successor in a lump sum; and

(ii) shall, together with the Executive’s dependents, be entitled until the end of the Transition Period (or for one year after the Termination Date in the case of a voluntary termination by the Executive during the Window Period, as defined in Section 9(e)(iii)(E), which, but for Section 9(e)(iii)(E), would not constitute a termination for Good Reason) to participate in any medical, dental and life insurance and disability plans, programs and benefits in which they were entitled to, and did, participate immediately prior to the First Change in Control as if the Executive were an employee of the Company until the end of the Transition Period or such one-year period, as the case may be (or, in the event their participation in any such plan, program or benefit is barred because the Executive is not an employee of the Company, the Company, at its sole cost and expense, shall arrange to provide the Executive and the Executive’s dependents with benefits that are no less favorable to them than the benefits under such plan, program or benefit), except, with respect to dental and medical insurance coverage, to the extent essentially equivalent and no less favorable benefits are provided by a subsequent employer.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein except the last sentence of this Section 6(b), if the lump sum cash payment due and the other benefits to which the Executive shall become entitled under Section 6(a), either alone or together with other payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Company or any compensation plan or program that are in the nature of compensation to the Executive and are contingent on a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company or otherwise, would constitute a “parachute payment” as defined in Section 28OG of the Code or any successor provision thereto, such lump sum payment and/or such other benefits and payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the largest aggregate amount as will result in no portion thereof being subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or being non-deductible to the Company for Federal Income Tax purposes pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (or any successor provision thereto). Within ten days after the Company informs the Executive of the necessity of reducing the payments or benefits to avoid the excise tax or non-deductibility or promptly after the Executive otherwise becomes aware of the necessity of such a reduction, the Executive in good faith shall determine the amount of any reduction to be made pursuant to this Section 6(b) and shall select from among the foregoing benefits and payments those which shall be reduced. No modification of, or successor provision to, Section 280G or Section 4999 subsequent to the date of this Agreement shall, however, reduce the benefits to which the Executive would be entitled under this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6(b) to a greater extent than they would have been reduced if Section 280G and Section 4999 had not been modified or superseded subsequent to the date of this Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in the first sentence of this paragraph 6(b).

(c) The Company shall pay to the Executive, in accordance with Section 3(a), the Executive’s Base Salary and any accrued vacation pay through and including the Termination Date.

(d) If the Termination Date occurs on or after the last day of any Plan Year but prior to the date payment of the Executive’s award, if any, under the STIP for such Plan Year has been made, the Company shall pay the full amount of such award to the Executive (or the Executive’s legal representative) no later than the date awards under the STIP for such Plan Year are paid to the other participants in the STIP.

(e) If the Termination Date occurs on any day of a Plan Year other than the last day, the Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s legal representative) a pro rata portion of the target award that would have been payable to the Executive under the STIP for such Plan Year had the Executive remained employed by the Company hereunder for the duration of such Plan Year and the company had achieved its financial goals, which payment shall be made no later than the date awards under the STIP for such Plan Year are or would have been paid to the other participants in the STIP.

(f) The Company shall pay to the Executive (or the Executive’s legal representative), in accordance with Section 3(b), all amounts due thereunder for reimbursement of expenses.

7. Interpretations.

(a) For purposes of determining any amounts payable under this Section 5 or Section 6, the Executive’s Base Salary at any time after the Termination Date shall be deemed to equal the Executive’s Base Salary as in effect on the Termination Date.

(b) In the event the Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated on any day of an Employment Year or a Plan Year other than the last day and payment is required hereunder of a pro rata portion of any sum due with respect to such Employment Year or Plan Year, such pro rata portion shall be determined based on the number of days in such Employment Year or Plan Year occurring on or before, and after, the Termination Date.

(c) Nothing in Section 5 or Section 6 shall limit any obligation of the Company to the Executive or his dependents upon termination of the Executive’s employment hereunder (i) as a matter of law, (ii) under any other provision of this Agreement or, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any other agreement between the Executive and the Company, or (iii) in the event of termination by reason of the Executive’s death or Disability, under life or disability insurance policies then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the Executive is receiving payments pursuant to Paragraph G of the Employee Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, then payments required by Section 5 or Section 6 shall be reduced to by an amount equal to the amounts paid pursuant to Paragraph G of such Employee Agreement, and (y) the payments required by Section 5 or Section 6 shall be

reduced by any severance pay which the Executive receives from the Company, its subsidiaries or its successors under any policy or agreement of the Company, other than this Agreement, in the event of the Company’s termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company.

(d) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or other benefit provided for in Section 5 or Section 6 by seeking employment with another employer or otherwise; nor shall the amount of any payment or other benefit provided for in Section 5 or 6 be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of the Executive’s subsequent employment by another employer, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5 or 6.

(e) The obligations of the Company under Section 5 and Section 6, if otherwise payable thereunder because of the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, shall survive any termination of employment of the Executive pursuant to Section 4.

8. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Stock Based Compensation. While the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Executive, amend its articles of incorporation or by-laws to prohibit or limit the indemnification of, or advances of expenses to, its directors and officers or to impose conditions on such indemnification or advances of expenses in addition to those provided by law. While the Executive is employed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall not modify any stock based incentive plan or agreement to which the Executive is a party (or is subject) to limit or otherwise affect the acceleration of vesting or exercisability of stock options of the Executive in the event of a Change in Control, the lapse of restrictions on restricted stock of the Executive in the event of a Change in Control, or any other acceleration of, or increase in benefits under, any stock based benefit in the event of a Change in Control.

(a) This Agreement is binding on and inures to the benefit of the Executive and Executive’s heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns, and on the Company and its successors and permitted assigns. No rights or obligations of the Executive or the Company hereunder may be assigned, pledged, disposed of or transferred by such party to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of the other party.

Failure of the

Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession (other than in the case of a merger or consolidation) shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same terms as the Executive would be entitled hereunder if the Executive had otherwise terminated the Executive’s employment for Good Reason, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Termination Date.

Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the other party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of such covenants and to enforce specifically such covenants in any action instituted before a proper forum in addition to any other remedy to which such other party may be entitled under this Agreement or at law or in equity.

16. Arbitration and Attorney’s Fees and Costs. The Executive and the Company agree that any dispute or claim that relates to or arises out of Executive’s employment with the Company shall be resolved by the Rules of Arbitration set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement. Disputes and claims encompassed by this Agreement include all applicable federal and state employment related claims, whether based on common law (such as breach of contract or defamation) or statutes (such as the Americans With Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Minnesota Human Rights Act). The Rules of Arbitration are intended to be exclusive and awards issued pursuant to the rules are final and binding. The Executive is entitled to retain independent representation of his or her choosing for any dispute relating to Executive’s employment or interpretation of this agreement. All fees, costs, and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including expert witnesses, arising out of said representation shall be paid in a timely way (30 days or less after presentation of invoice) by the Company. The Executive and the Company acknowledge and agree that this arbitration provision is beneficial to both parties because it provides a quick, less expensive and confidential manner of resolving finally any dispute or claim. The cost of any arbitration, including attorneys’ fees and arbitration expenses of both the Company and the Executive, and the cost of any court proceedings permitted by this Agreement, including attorneys’ fees and court costs of both the Company and the Executive, shall be paid by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Section 16 and without prejudice to the above procedures, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for temporary injunctive or other provisional judicial relief if in such party’s sole judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo until such time as the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.

17. Notices. All notices hereunder shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the party to receive the same at

the address set forth with the signature of such party hereto or at such other address as may have been furnished to the sender by notice hereunder.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments referred to herein contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the employment of the Executive by the Company.

20. Amendments and Waivers. No provision hereof may be altered, amended, modified, waived or discharged in any way whatsoever except by written agreement executed by both parties. No delay or failure of either party to insist, in any one or more instances, upon performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder shall constitute a waiver or a relinquishment of such rights or remedies or any other rights or remedies hereunder.

21. Severability; Severance. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it is hereby agreed that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other portions of this Agreement and that the remaining covenants, terms and conditions or portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and any court of competent

jurisdiction or arbitrator, as the case may be, may so modify the objectionable provision as to make it valid, reasonable and enforceable. In the event that any benefits to the Executive provided in this Agreement are held to be unavailable to the Executive as a matter of law, the Executive shall be entitled to severance benefits from the Company, in the event of an involuntary termination of employment of the Executive by the Company (other than a termination on account of the death or Disability of the Executive or a termination for Cause) or a termination by the Executive for Good Reason during the Term occurring at the time of, or following, the occurrence of a Change in Control, at least as favorable to the Executive (when taken together with the benefits under this Agreement that are actually received by the Executive) as the most advantageous benefits made available by the Company to employees of comparable position and seniority to the Executive during the five–year period prior to the First Change in Control.

22. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the date of this Agreement and shall terminate, and the term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall end, on (A) December 31, 2003, provided that such period shall be automatically extended for one year, and from year to year thereafter, until written notice of termination of this Agreement is given by the Company or the Executive to the other party hereto at least 60 days prior to December 31, 2003 or the extension year then in effect, or (B) if the Commencement Date occurs prior to December 31, 2003 (or prior to the end of the extension year then in effect), the third anniversary of the Commencement Date.

23. Replacement of Prior Agreement(s). This Agreement replaces and supersedes all prior Management Agreement(s) between the Company and the Executive of any nature whatsoever, which Original Agreement(s) shall be of no further force or effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed on the date and year first above written.
