Dear John:

At a recent meeting of the CalComp Technology, Inc. (CalComp) Compensation 
Committee of the Board of Directors (Committee), the Committee recognized the 
importance of maintaining continuity of CalComp's senior management while 
certain strategic alternatives are pursued.  In addition, it was recognized that
because time is of the essence an incentive would be made available to certain 
executives to expedite the execution of those strategic alternatives.

Therefore, this letter will serve to confirm the retention and incentive package
recently approved for you by the Committee.  Specific details of the package are
as follows:

RETENTION

     Should you remain employed by CalComp through the full execution of the 
     Board's approved strategic alternative for CalComp and all related 
     activities, you will be paid a lump sum of $69,000.

INCENTIVE FOR STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

     Should CalComp management present to the Board an acceptable 
     transaction(s) to sell any or all of the CalComp units noted below, you 
     will receive a lump sum equal to the amount shown for each successful 
     closing within the time period indicated:
