5.       Business Acquisitions

         Novadyne Computer Systems, Incorporated

         On November 14, 1997, the Company purchased selected assets of Novadyne
         Computer Systems, Inc. for approximately $17.3 million including the
         assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction was financed through
         the Company's credit facility with NationsBank of Texas, N.A.

         Pro Forma Financial Information

         Digital Equipment Corporation Agreements

         On August 10, 1997, the Company purchased Digital Equipment
         Corporation's Printing Systems Business and became Digital's exclusive
         supplier of Digital-branded printer products. The multi-year agreement
         also established a cooperative alliance where the Company will provide
         a broad line of products, business planning, technical support and
         distribution services to Digital's marketing channels in each of their
         global geographies. The Company and Digital have also agreed to pursue
         joint marketing programs for each other's capabilities, products and
         services.

6.       Commitments and Contingencies

         Environmental matters:

         The Company and the former owner of its Waynesboro, Virginia facility,
         General Electric Company ("G.E."), have generated and managed hazardous
         wastes at the facility for many years as a result of their use of
         certain materials in manufacturing processes. The Company and the
         United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") have agreed to a
         corrective action consent order (the "Order"), which became effective
         on September 14, 1990. The Order requires the Company to undertake an
         investigation of solid waste management units at its Waynesboro,
         Virginia facility and to conduct a study of any necessary corrective
         measures that may be required. The investigative work under the Order
         was completed in December 1997 and the Company submitted a report to
         the EPA. The EPA has not yet formally responded to the report, although
         the EPA has stated informally that it may require additional
         investigative work. Although not required by the Order, the Company has
         agreed to install and operate an interim ground water stabilization
         system, subject to EPA approval of the system design. The interim
         groundwater stabilization program may be chosen as the final remedy for
         the site, or additional corrective measures may eventually be required.
         It is not possible to reliably estimate the costs that any such
         possible additional corrective measures would entail. However, if
         additional corrective measures are required, the Company expects that
         it will enter into discussion with EPA concerning their scope and a
         further order for that purpose.

         The Company has been notified by the EPA that it is one of 700
         potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") under the Comprehensive
         Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, for
         necessary corrective action at a hazardous waste disposal site in
         Greer, South Carolina. In 

                                        9

<PAGE>   10

         prior years, the Company arranged for the transportation of wastes to
         the site for treatment or disposal. During 1995, the PRPs entered into
         an administrative consent order with EPA under which they will
         undertake a remedial investigation and feasibility study which is
         currently underway.

         Atlantic Design:

         December of 1995, the Company entered into a five year agreement which
         was extended an additional year in June 1996 (renewable annually after
         6 years) with Atlantic Design Company, Inc. ("ADC") a subsidiary of
         Ogden Services Corporation, pursuant to which ADC acquired the
         Company's manufacturing operations in McAllen, Texas and Reynosa,
         Mexico. Under the agreement, ADC is committed to manufacturing a
         significant part of the Company's impact printer products, printed
         circuit boards, related supplies and spare parts, while the Company
         retains design, intellectual and distribution rights with respect
         thereto.

         Ogden Services Corporation has divested certain ADC facilities and has
         attempted to divest the Reynosa operations. The Company's contract with
         ADC contains a clause requiring GENICOM's consent to the sale, which
         consent cannot be unreasonably withheld. The Company has evaluated
         preliminary information received from ADC concerning a potential buyer,
         but, to the Company's knowledge, the sale of the Reynosa facility is
         not imminent.

         In August 1997, ADC filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American
         Arbitration Association seeking a legal interpretation of the pricing
         provisions in the agreement between ADC and the Company and the
         recovery of an amount in dispute said to be approximately $2 million.
         The Company filed a counterclaim against ADC for approximately $10
         million alleging various breaches of the agreement. Ogden Services
         Corporation and ADC filed counterclaims against the Company seeking
         damages in excess of $10 million alleging additional various breaches
         by the Company of the agreement.

         On July 4, 1998, the Company, ADC and Ogden Services Corporation
         settled the arbitration. Primary settlement terms included settlement
         of all claims and counterclaims in the arbitration, a $2.1 million
         payment to ADC for which the Company was fully reserved, a price
         increase effective for shipments after August 15, 1998, and a guarantee
         of orders for one year. ADC is continuing as a supplier for the
         Company.

         Other matters:

         In the ordinary course of business, the Company is party to various
         environmental, administrative and legal proceedings. In the opinion of
         management, the Company's liability, if any, in all pending litigation
         or other legal proceedings, other than those discussed above, will not
         have a material effect upon the financial condition, results of
         operations or liquidity of the Company.

7.       The Company adopted SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", in the
         first quarter of 1998. The Company's loss, if reported on a
         comprehensive basis, would be $14,965,000 for the three months ended
         June 28, 1998 and $14,716,000 for the six months ended June 28, 1998.
         The Company had a loss in its foreign currency translation amount of
         $212,000 from March 29, 1998 and $105,000 from December 28, 1997, with
         after tax losses $159,000 and $79,000, respectively. For the second
         quarter of 1997, the foreign currency translation loss was $42,000,
         with an after tax loss of $33,000. For the six months ended June 29,
         1997, the foreign currency translation loss was $181,000, with an after
         tax loss of $148,000. The Company's comprehensive income for the second

                                       10

<PAGE>   11

         quarter of 1997 would have been $2.8 million and for the six months
         ended June 29, 1997, $5.2 million.

8.       On July 2, 1998, the Company and its banks amended the credit agreement
         with NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as agent for the group of banks. The
         amendment adjusts the Company's required financial covenants, limits
         capital expenditures to a maximum of $27 million for 1998, adjusts the
         borrowing base percentages allowing the Company increased borrowing
         ability and adjusts the interest rate upwards 1.50% on the incremental
         increased borrowing against the higher base.

9.       Based upon recent review of certain long-lived assets, the Company
         determined that the value of goodwill associated with the acquisitions
         of Centronics, Printer Systems Corporation and Harris Adacom was
         impaired. In accordance with FAS 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", during
         the second fiscal quarter of 1998, the Company took a pre-tax charge
         associated with this impairment of approximately $15 million. By
         segment, service's pre-tax charge was $8.2 million and product's
         pre-tax charge was $6.8 million.

</TABLE>


Revenue in the second quarter of 1998 increased 13.6% from the second quarter of
1997 primarily due to the revenue growth in Document Solutions ("DSC") as a
result of the agreements with Digital Equipment Corporation ("DEC") and in
Enterprising Service Solutions ("ESSC") as a result of the acquisition of
certain assets of Novadyne Computer Systems. DSC revenue, excluding Relays, was
14.6% higher than the second quarter of 1997 as a result of the agreements with
DEC. ESSC revenue increased 28.5%. This increase was primarily the result of the
Novadyne acquisition and the final balance of a systems integration contract
with NASDAQ. The depot in Louisville, Kentucky began to recover some revenue
levels previously lost due to the transition of depot services from Bedford,
Massachusetts and Waynesboro, Virginia.

For 1998 year to date, revenue increased $39.2 million from 1997. DSC's revenue,
excluding Relays, increased $28.5 million or 22.6% primarily due to the
agreements with DEC. ESSC's revenue for 1998 increased $19.4 million or 32.4
percent compared to 1997 principally from the acquisition of certain assets of
Novadyne Computer Systems which increased revenues in field service, a contract
with NASDAQ for upgrading their computer network and increased integration
business in the Canadian subsidiary.

Relay revenues, which are included as part of Document Solutions in the above
table for 1997, were $4.4 million for the second quarter of 1997 and $8.7
million for the six months ended June 29, 1997. This product line was sold in
November of 1997.

</TABLE>




The decrease in order backlog from the second quarter of 1997 primarily reflects
the effect of the sale of the relay product line. The relay backlog was $8.1
million as of June 29, 1997. The decrease in the order backlog from the fourth
quarter of 1997 is principally due to a decrease in printer and supplies backlog
partially offset by the recording of ESSC annual contracts recorded in January.
The Company's backlog as of any particular date should not be the sole
measurement used in determining sales for any future period.

</TABLE>




Gross margin, as a percent of revenue, decreased from 24.2% in the second
quarter of 1997 to 20.8% in the second quarter of 1998. As a percent of revenue,
gross margin for DSC excluding Relays decreased to 28.1% for the quarter ending
June 28, 1998 from 32.8% for the quarter ending June 29, 1997. This decrease is
primarily the result of the lower volume of supplies sales which carry a larger
margin percentage than printers and a change in the sale mix of printers. For
ESSC, gross margin increased from 4.3% for the second three months of 1997 to
6.3% for 1998 reflecting some improvement in the operating efficiency of ESSC.

As a percent of revenue, gross margin for the six months ended June 28, 1998 was
21.7% as compared to 24.5% for the six months ended June 29, 1997. The gross
margin percentage for DSC for the first six months of 1998 decreased to 28.1%
from 32.8% in 1997 due to the second quarter reduction of supplies sales and the
sales mix in printer sales. ESSC's gross margin percentage increase slightly to
8.1% for year to date 1998 from 7.6% for the same period in 1997 reflecting some
operational efficiency improvements.

</TABLE>

The increase of $7.3 million in operating expenses, excluding the goodwill
write-off, from the second quarter of 1997 was primarily the result of increased
development and marketing costs to support new product introductions and higher
marketing costs in ESSC. Operating expenses increased, excluding the write-off
of goodwill as a percentage of revenue in the second quarter of 1998, to 23.1%
as compared to 18.9% in 1997.

For the first six months of 1998, operating expenses increased $12.3 million,
excluding the goodwill write-off, compared to 1997 primarily for the reasons
mentioned above.

During the second quarter of 1998, based upon review of long-lived assets, the
Company determined that the value of goodwill associated with the acquisitions
of Centronics, Printer Systems Corporation and Harris Adacom was impaired. In
accordance with FAS 121, during the second fiscal quarter of 1998, the Company
took a pre-tax charge associated with this impairment of approximately $15
million.

</TABLE>




Interest expense increased $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1998 as
compared to the year-ago quarter primarily as a result of higher borrowings in
1998 due to higher debt need to support the working capital needs of the
business and higher development costs associated with new product introductions.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 28, 1998 increased $2.3 million
compared to the same period in 1997 for the above reasons.

The Company's effective tax rate for the second quarter and the first six months
of 1998 was 27.0 percent. The tax rate is being affected by the anticipated
utilization of foreign operating losses. During the first six months of 1997,
the Company reversed part of its valuation allowance for its foreign deferred
tax assets.

Cash provided by operations changed $14.9 million from the first half of 1997
principally due to the write-off of goodwill in the second quarter of 1998. The
Company's working capital increased $16.2 million as of June 28, 1998 as
compared to December 28, 1997 due primarily to a $7.4 million increase in
prepaid and other assets driven by negative taxes payable and a $7.0 million
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Debt increased significantly
with the proceeds used to support the working capital needs of the business, the
acquisition of certain assets of Novadyne Computer Systems, and the operating
loss. The Company had approximately $175,000 available for borrowing under its
credit facilities as of June 28, 1998.

On July 2, 1998, the Company and its banks amended the credit agreement with
NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as agent for the group of banks. The amendment
adjusts the Company's required financial covenants, limits capital expenditures
to a maximum of $27 million for 1998, adjusts the borrowing base percentages
allowing the Company increased borrowing ability and adjusts the interest rate
upwards 1.50% on the incremental increased borrowing against the higher base.

In August 1997, Atlantic Design Company, Inc. ("ADC") filed a Demand for
Arbitration (see "Note 6" for a discussion of the ADC agreement) with the
American Arbitration Association seeking a legal interpretation of the pricing
provisions in the agreement between ADC and the Company and the recovery of an
amount in dispute said to be approximately $2 million. The Company filed a
counterclaim against ADC for approximately $10 million alleging various breaches
of the agreement. Ogden Services Corporation and ADC filed counterclaims against
the Company seeking damages in excess of $10 million alleging additional various
breaches by the Company of the agreement.

On July 4, 1998, the Company, ADC and Ogden Services Corporation settled the
arbitration. Primary settlement terms included settlement of all claims and
counterclaims in the arbitration, a $2.1 million payment to ADC for which the
Company was fully reserved, a price increase effective for shipments after
August 15, 1998, and a guarantee of orders for one year. ADC is continuing as a
supplier for the Company.

         Texas, N.A., as Agent

Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement described above, the defined terms of
which are incorporated herein by reference.

You have requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to adjust the
calculation of fees for the issuance of trade letters of credit under the
existing Letter of Credit subfacility made available to the Borrower pursuant to
the Credit Agreement.

Accordingly, on behalf of all of the Lenders, we hereby agree with you to amend
Subsection (b)(ii) of Section 3.5 of the Credit Agreement in its entirety to
read as follows:

                  (b)  Letter of Credit Fees

                                *****************

                   (ii) Trade Letter of Credit Issuance Fee. In consideration of
                        the issuance of trade Letters of Credit hereunder, the
                        Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of
                        each Lender a fee (the "Trade Letter of Credit Fee")
                        computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date
                        of issuance to the date of expiration of 1% on such
                        Lender's Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
                        available undrawn amount of each such trade Letter of
                        Credit (such Trade Letter of Credit Fee in respect of
                        any trade Letter of Credit not to be less than $100 in
                        the aggregate for all the Lenders). The Trade Letter of
                        Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the
                        last day of each March, June, September and December for
                        the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof).

Except as modified hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

                  The initial Applicable Percentages shall be based on Pricing
         Level II until the first Applicable Percentage Change Date for the
         Calculation Date occurring on September 28, 1997. Thereafter,
         determination of the appropriate Applicable Percentages based on the
         Pricing Consolidated Funded Debt Coverage Ratio shall be made on each
         Calculation Date upon receipt by the Agent at the Agency Services
         Address of the Required Financial Information for such Calculation
         Date. The Pricing Consolidated Funded Debt Coverage

         Ratio in effect as of a Calculation Date shall establish the Applicable
         Percentages that shall be effective as of the date designated by the
         Agent as the Applicable Percentage Change Date. The Agent shall
         determine the Applicable Percentages as of the Calculation Date
         occurring on September 28, 1997 and on each Calculation Date thereafter
         and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
         Applicable Percentages so determined and of the Applicable Percentage
         Change Date. Such determinations by the Agent of the Applicable

         Borrower fails to provide the Required Financial Information for a
         Calculation Date to the Agent at the Agency Services Address, the
         Applicable Percentages shall be based on Pricing Level I until such
         time as the Required Financial Information is provided whereupon the

         Consolidated Funded Debt Coverage Ratio. Notwithstanding anything to
         the contrary contained herein, if on any Calculation Date occurring on
         or after January 3, 1999, the Consolidated Senior Funded Debt Coverage
         Ratio exceeds 4.0 to 1.0, the Applicable Percentages determined in

PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION


                              SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT


          SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT between Genicom Corporation, on the one
hand, and Atlantic Design Company, Inc. and Ogden Services Corporation, on the
other hand, dated July 4, 1998 (the "Agreement").

         The parties agree to settle fully and completely the matters that are
the subject of the arbitration proceeding presently pending between the parties
relating to the Services Agreement dated as of December 18, 1995, as amended
(the "Services Agreement"), and the pricing for the Model #3870 Eagle printer
and print ribbon and spares related to the Eagle printer (the "Eagle Printer")
that Genicom desires to add to the Products that may be purchased by Genicom
under the Services Agreement, on the following terms:

         1. Genicom shall pay ADC $2.1 million, to be paid as follows: $1.0
million by July 9, 1998; $700,000 by July 31, 1998; and $400,000 by August 31,
1998. In the event Genicom fails to pay any of such amounts when due, and fails
to cure within three business days of receipt of notice thereof, then ADC may,
in addition to its right to enforce Genicom's payment obligations contained in
this paragraph, at its 
<PAGE>   2
option, terminate the Services Agreement and, in such event, Genicom, upon ADC's
written request, shall comply with and pay the sums referred to in the
Reacquisition Conditions.

         2.  [The material at this point has been omitted pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission]

         3.  [The material at this point has been omitted pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission]

         3.  With respect to Genicom initiated ECNs and ECOs implemented by ADC
after the date of this Agreement, any incremental cost increases resulting
directly therefrom will be passed on to Genicom in the form of price increases
on a dollar-for-dollar basis; 75% of any decremental cost decreases resulting
directly therefrom will be passed on to Genicom in the form of price decreases,
with 25% of any such decremental cost decreases inuring to the benefit of ADC;
provided, however, with respect to ECNs, ECOs and ECO-Vs initiated by ADC after
the date of this Agreement, 75% of the decremental cost decreases resulting
directly therefrom will inure to the benefit of ADC, with 25% of any decremental
cost decreases resulting directly therefrom to be passed on to Genicom in the
form of price decreases. The implementation date for such ECNs, ECOs and ECO-Vs
shall be agreed concurrently with the setting of pricing. There will be no price
adjustments for ECNs, ECOs or ECO-Vs implemented prior to the date of this
Agreement.

         4.  Genicom guarantees that for the twelve months beginning July 1,
1998 (the "Guarantee Period"), Genicom will place purchase orders that obligate
ADC 


                                       2
<PAGE>   3
to expend, to meet Genicom's production requirements, no fewer than the lower of
(1) 696,000 man-hours or (2) 80% of the actual annualized man-hours expended by
ADC on Genicom production during the first six months of 1998 (i.e., 80% of the
actual hours for the first six months times two) (the "Guaranteed Hours"). If
ADC does not expend the Guaranteed Hours during the Guarantee Period, Genicom
shall pay ADC within 30 days of receipt of an invoice an amount equal to the
product of Six Dollars per man-hour and the difference between the Guaranteed
Man Hours and actual numbers of man-hours expended by ADC during the Guarantee
Period. The Guaranteed Hours will be adjusted for any decline in man-hours over
the Guarantee Period caused as a result of any request by ADC to not supply
particular products under the Services Agreement.

         5.  [The material at this point has been omitted pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission]

         6.  Genicom agrees to cooperate in all reasonable ways in any efforts
by ADC or Ogden to sell ADC or assets of ADC, including entering into
appropriate proprietary and confidentiality provisions in accordance with any
reasonable requests of ADC. The foregoing agreement shall not modify any rights
of Genicom under Sections 21.04 and 22 of the Services Agreement.

         7.  [The material at this point has been omitted pursuant to a request
for confidential treatment and filed separately with the Commission]

         8.  The parties hereby stipulate to dismiss with prejudice all claims
and counterclaims asserted in the pending arbitration, and will take appropriate
steps, 


                                       3
<PAGE>   4
including the filing of a Stipulation of Dismissal, to so notify the Arbitrator.

         9.  Within 60 days of the execution of this Agreement, ADC shall
invoice Genicom (to the extent it has not already done so) for all product that
has been shipped pursuant to Genicom purchase orders prior to the date of the
execution of this Agreement. Genicom shall pay all such invoices within 30 days.
ADC agrees that it will not invoice Genicom or otherwise seek payment for any
products shipped prior to the date of execution of this Agreement if invoices
for such products are not rendered within 60 days of execution of this
Agreement. Genicom will notify ADC within seven days from receipt of any
invoices that it believes are not made pursuant to Genicom purchase orders, and
the parties will work together to reconcile any such invoices within 30 days.
The provisions of this paragraph are without prejudice to any of Genicom's
rights to contest the accuracy of the invoices.

         10. Genicom and ADC shall jointly explore strategic and pricing issues,
including the competitiveness of the pricing of products provided to Genicom and
the profitability of ADC's Genicom business.

         11. Genicom hereby opts, and ADC hereby approves, that Genicom has
exercised its option pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Services Agreement to
provide repair services, and be reimbursed for its costs of repair within the
meaning of that Section 8.03 of the Services Agreement.

         12. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Settlement
Agreement, including the enforcement thereof, shall be subject to the
arbitration provisions of Section 20 of the Services Agreement except that, if
he is available, the 


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
parties agree to Louis Craco, Esq. as the arbitrator. Any arbitration relating
to Genicom's payment obligations, and only such obligations, set forth in
paragraph 1 of this Agreement shall be held no later than 15 days after the
initiation of such arbitration and without any discovery being taken.

         13. The provisions of this Agreement shall be considered amendments to
the Services Agreement. In all other respects, the Services Agreement remains in
effect. Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein shall have
the meaning assigned to such terms in the Services Agreement. In the event of an
inconsistency between the provisions of the Services Agreement and this
Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

         14. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature, in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together constitute one and the same instrument.

         AGREEMENT between PAUL T. WINN (the "Executive") and GENICOM

         Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide
supplemental retirement income to Mr. Paul T. Winn, President & Chief Executive

meanings unless otherwise clearly required by the context:

              (a)   "Actuarial Equivalent" will mean an equivalent value

materially with the Executive's performance of his duties for a substantial
period, or (iv) any act determined by a majority of GENICOM's Board of Directors
to materially and adversely affect the business, affairs or reputation of

                    to become, the beneficial owner of the common stock of the
                    Company ("Company Stock") having 25% or more of the combined
                    voting power of the then outstanding securities of the
                    Company that may be cast for the election of directors to
                    the Board of the Company. An acquisition shall be excluded

              (ii)  A reorganization, merger or consolidation in which the
         beneficial owners of the Company Stock and voting securities of the
         Company immediately prior thereto do immediately thereafter

         outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the
         outstanding voting securities of the corporation resulting from such
         organization, merger or consolidation;.

              (iii) A complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the
         sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
         the Company.

              (e)   "Compensation" will mean the actual periodic salary
compensation and annual bonuses payable in cash, including amounts deducted
therefrom such as, but not limited to, deductions for withheld taxes, paid to
the Executive by GENICOM for personal services, as reported on IRS form W-2.
Compensation will not include any compensation from stock options or the amount
paid in 1998 to the Executive in connection with taxes incurred on the exercise
of stock options. In computing Compensation, any payment for accumulated
vacation that is paid after termination of employment, severance or similar
payments will be excluded.

              (f)   "Disabled" or "Disability" will mean the inability of a

disability benefits payable under the Federal Social Security Act plus the value
of any disability benefits payable to the Executive under any long-term
disability insurance or program paid for by GENICOM.

              (h)   "Elective Contributions" will have the same meaning as that
term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(g)(3).

              (i)   "Executive's 401(k) Account" will mean the Executive's total
vested benefit in the 401(k) Plan.

              (j)   "401(k) Benefit" will mean the Actuarial Equivalent of the
value of the benefits payable to the Executive at termination, retirement, death
or permanent disability (as those terms are used in the 401(k) Plan) that are
attributable to GENICOM Contributions and the earnings thereon. Earnings
attributable to GENICOM Contributions will be determined by multiplying the
total earnings realized in the Executive's 401(k) Account by a ratio. The ratio
will be determined by dividing the GENICOM Contributions made to the Executive's
401(k) Account by the total contributions made to the Executive's 401(k)
Account. The date the Executive terminates employment with GENICOM, retires,
dies or becomes

permanently disabled will be the date for determining total earnings realized in
the Executive's 401(k) Account. The 401(k) Benefit will be calculated in the

              (k) "401(k) Plan" will mean the GENICOM Retirement and Savings

one-half of the Executive's primary insurance amount under the Federal Social
Security Act payable at the Executive's Social Security Retirement Age (as
defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 415(b)(8)), and/or any other comparable
primary insurance amount payable under another governmental retirement program.
The Social Security Retirement Benefit will be calculated in the form of an
Actuarial Equivalent annual single life annuity.

              (n) "SRI" will mean the basic supplemental retirement income
payable to the Executive under Section 3(a) of this Agreement.

              (o) "Terminal Compensation" will mean an amount equal to one-third
(1/3) of the Executive's Compensation for the three (3) calendar years for which
the Executive received the largest amount of Compensation during the five (5)
consecutive calendar years completed immediately prior to the Executive's
termination, retirement, Disability or death.

              (p) "Vested Percentage" will mean the percentage equal to five
percent (5%) times the number of full calendar quarters that have been completed
since April 1, 1998, with the first such calendar quarter ending June 30, 1998,
provided that the Vested Percentage shall be one hundred percent (100%) if the
Executive dies or is Disabled or upon a Change of Control.

         Section 3. SRI Formula. The SRI payable to the Executive will equal an
amount in the form of an annual single life annuity determined as follows:

              (a) The basic SRI amount (calculated as payable at age 65) is (i)
Seventy Percent (70%) of the Executive's Terminal Compensation reduced by the
sum of the annual amount of: (x) the 401(k) Benefit, (y) the Social Security
Retirement Benefit and (z) the Disability Benefit; times (ii) the Executive's
Vested Percentage. If the basic SRI amount is reduced by a Disability Benefit,
the basic SRI amount shall be increased at any time in the future by the amount
of the Disability Benefit if the Executive ceases to receive the Disability
Benefit for any reason.

              (b) If the Executive commences distributions before age 65 for any
reason, the SRI will be the Actuarial Equivalent of the amount calculated under
Section 3(a). The Executive's age will be calculated in years and full months.


5
<PAGE>   6
              (c)   For purposes of offsetting or reducing inflation, the SRI
payments made to the Executive or his surviving spouse will be increased
annually on July 1 by a percentage to reflect the increase in the cost of goods
and services over the previous calendar year and determined in accordance with
the national Consumer Price Index for all goods and services.

              (d)   The SRI payable to the Executive will also be reduced by any
severance payments made to the Executive under his employment agreement with
GENICOM dated March 26, 1990 or any successor agreement. This SRI reduction will
only apply for periods during which the severance payments are made to the
Executive.

         Section 4. SRI Eligibility. The Executive will be eligible to receive
the SRI under the following conditions:

              (a)   Prior to attaining age 55, the Executive will be eligible to
receive the SRI:

                        (i)   if the Executive is terminated by GENICOM without
                    Cause, or

                        (ii)  after a Change of Control, upon the Executive's
                    termination of employment with GENICOM for any reason,
                    including death, Disability, voluntary termination by the
                    Executive, or termination by GENICOM for Cause.

              (b)   Upon attaining age 55, the Executive will be eligible to
receive the vested portion of the SRI upon termination of employment with
GENICOM for any reason, including death, Disability, voluntary termination by
the Executive, or termination by GENICOM for Cause, except for a termination by
GENICOM for Cause prior to a Change of Control.

         Section 5. Payment of SRI. One-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual SRI, as
adjusted under Section 3(c), will be payable on the first day of each month
following the Executive's termination, retirement, death or Disability.

         Section 6. Form of SRI Payment.

              (a)   The SRI will be payable as a monthly straight life annuity.

              (b)   In lieu of the form described in Section 6(a), the Executive
may elect to receive the Actuarial Equivalent of the SRI in a joint and 50%
survivor annuity for the lives of the Executive and his surviving spouse. Under
this form of payment, the Executive will receive reduced payments for his
lifetime and, after his death, a survivor annuity will be payable for the
lifetime of his surviving spouse equal to 50% of the amount of the annuity
payments that were payable to the Executive. If the Executive's spouse dies
after SRI payments begin but before the Executive dies, the SRI will continue to
be paid to the Executive in the same amount that was payable before the death of
his spouse.

<PAGE>   7
              (c) The Executive will be provided suitable forms for the making
of elections under Section 6(b). To be valid, an election or revocation of an
election of the joint and 50% survivor annuity optional benefit form (i) must be
signed by the Executive, (ii) must designate a specific alternate form of
benefit, and (iii) except for an initial election upon participation, will not
be effective until six (6) months after the date of the election. Any election
will remain in effect until six (6) months after a subsequent election is filed
by the Executive.

              (d) In lieu of the form described in Section 6(a) or (b), upon a
Change of Control, the Board of Directors of GENICOM, in its sole discretion,
may elect to pay the Executive the Actuarial Equivalent of the SRI in a single
lump sum payment. The lump sum payment may be made at any time within two years
after the Change of Control. After payment of a lump sum to the Executive,
GENICOM will have no further liability to the Executive or his surviving spouse
under this Agreement

         Section 7. No Competition. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections
3, 4, 5 and 6, no SRI will be payable to the Executive if his employment with
GENICOM terminated prior to the date on which the Executive attains the age of
sixty-five (65) years, or to the surviving spouse of the Executive, if within
two (2) years after such termination of employment the Executive, without the
approval of GENICOM as expressed in a resolution by its Board of Directors,
renders services for compensation as an officer, consultant, employee or
otherwise to any corporation or other entity in direct or indirect competition
with GENICOM or any GENICOM subsidiary, or enter into any business or occupation
on a self-employed basis which is in direct or indirect competition with GENICOM
or any GENICOM Subsidiary provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section 7 will be deemed to require the repayment by the Executive of any SRI
paid to him prior to the time he commences rendering such services or enters
into such business or occupation. This Section 7 shall not apply if the
Executive is terminated by GENICOM without Cause after a Change of Control.

         Section 8. Pre-Retirement Survivor Annuity Coverage. The Executive can
elect to have a pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit paid to his surviving
spouse if the Executive dies before the commencement of the SRI payments. If the
Executive is age 55 or older at the time of his death while still in service
with GENICOM or dies after a Change of Control while in service with GENICOM
before age 55, the pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit paid to his surviving
spouse will be the same as the monthly payment which would have been initially
payable pursuant to Section 6 if the Executive had terminated on the date of his
death, had elected to receive the SRI in the form of a joint and 50% survivor
annuity for the lives of the Executive and his surviving spouse, and had died
immediately following such termination. If the Executive dies prior to age 55
while still in service with GENICOM and there has not been a Change of Control,
no pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit will be paid to his surviving spouse.
The pre-retirement survivor annuity benefit will be paid to his surviving spouse
on the first day of each month following the later of the (i) the first month in
which the Executive could have retired and received a SRI payment, or (ii) the
month in which the Executive dies. If the Executive elects pre-retirement
survivor annuity coverage under this Section 8, the SRI payable to the Executive
will be reduced by the Actuarial Equivalent value of the cost of providing
pre-retirement survivor

annuity coverage. The Executive may elect to have a pre-retirement survivor
annuity benefit paid to his surviving spouse by making an election in the form
and manner described in Section 6(c) for electing the joint and 50% survivor
annuity form of payment.

         Section 9. Effective Date. The effective date of the Agreement is
October 23, 1997, the date of approval by the Board of Directors of GENICOM.

         Section 10. Unfunded Agreement. There is no fund associated with this
Agreement, except as specifically provided in this Section 10. GENICOM will be
required to make payments only as they become due and payable under the
Agreement. Neither the Executive nor his surviving spouse will have any right,
other than the right of an unsecured general creditor, against GENICOM in
respect to the payments which may be payable, to the Executive or his surviving
spouse hereunder. GENICOM agrees to establish a grantor trust to fund its
liability to the Executive. GENICOM shall contribute to the trust assets that
shall be held therein, subject to the claims of GENICOM's creditors in the event
of GENICOM's insolvency until paid to the Executive or his surviving spouse in
such manner and at such times as specified in this Agreement or until all
obligations to the Executive or his surviving spouse under this Agreement has
been terminated. Neither the Executive nor his surviving spouse will have any
right to receive any payment under this Agreement except as and to the extent
expressly provided in this Agreement.

         Section 11. Non-Guarantee of Employment. Nothing contained in this
Agreement will be construed as a contract of employment between GENICOM and the
Executive, or as a right of the Executive to be continued in employment or as a
limitation of the right of GENICOM to deal with the Executive, as to his hiring,
discharge, layoff, compensation, and all other conditions of employment in all
respects as though this Agreement did not exist.

         Section 12. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended by a written
instrument signed by the Executive and GENICOM.

         Section 13. Non-Assignability. The payments made under this Agreements
will not be subject to alienation, assignment, pledge, garnishment, execution or
levy of any kind and any attempt to cause any such benefits to be so subjected
will not be recognized.

         Section 14. Withholding of Taxes. All amounts payable hereunder will be
reduced for the amounts required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable
governmental law or regulation with respect to taxes or any similar provisions.

         Section 15. Successor Company. In the event of the dissolution, merger,
consolidation, or reorganization of GENICOM, the successor will have all of the
powers, duties and responsibilities of GENICOM under this Agreement.

         Section 16. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and
enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
