Dear Steven:

This will confirm your resignation  from Anacomp's Board of Directors  effective
the date set forth below. In consideration for your contributions to the Company
prior  to and  during  your  tenure  as a board  member  and for the  consulting
services  described  below,  Anacomp agrees to pay you the amount of One Hundred
Thousand  Dollars  ($100,000.00)  which  will be  payable  in cash in three  (3)
installments  over the next two (2) years. The first payment will be made within
ten (10) days of your  resignation.  The two remaining  payments will be made on
the anniversary date of your resignation.

You agree to make yourself reasonably available to consult with the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Anacomp from time to time until the third anniversary
of your resignation with respect to strategic issues affecting the Company.

We will  reimburse  you promptly for all past and future  expenses in connection
with your services to Anacomp.  Also, we will reimburse you for your  reasonable
attorney fees in connection with your resignation.

We have agreed that you will be able to nominate your  successor to the Board to
serve your term.  Of course,  your nominee  should be  qualified  and be able to
successfully  pass a  background  screen and should not  present  problems  with
respect to engaging new auditors or obtaining  Directors and Officers insurance.
Upon satisfaction of these conditions and my interview of the candidate,  I will
be  prepared  to  fully  support  your  nominee  for  election  to our  Board of
Directors.

This  agreement  between  Anacomp  and you  shall be kept  confidential  and not
disclosed to any person  except as required by law. If disclosure is required by
law, such  disclosure  shall be  substantially  in the form  attached  hereto as
Exhibit A.

On behalf of  Anacomp,  I would  like to thank  you for your  contributions  and
service to the Company.

Very truly yours,
