the Award and the options granted thereunder shall be governed by the terms and
conditions set forth in the Unitek Holdings, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan and such

8.           Confidentiality.
 
(a)           Employee hereby warrants, covenants and agrees that, without the
prior express written approval of Unitek, Employee shall hold in the strictest
confidence and shall not disclose to any Person any Confidential
Information.  The provisions of this Section 8 shall not prohibit the disclosure
of Confidential Information by Employee to the extent required by any
governmental authority or by applicable law.  If Employee receives such a demand
for disclosure: (i) Employee shall give written notice thereof to Unitek as
promptly as is reasonably practicable after he learns of any such demand, (ii)
Employee agrees to cooperate with Unitek to prevent or limit such disclosure and
(iii) Employee agrees to only disclose that amount of Confidential Information
that is expressly required to be disclosed.  The warranty, covenant and
agreement set forth in this Section 8 shall not expire and shall survive this
Agreement and be binding upon Employee without regard to the passage of time or
other events.
 
(b)           The violation of any of the terms of this Section 8 by Employee
would cause irreparable injury to Unitek, the amount of which will be impossible
to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated by monetary
damages.  Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 8 will
be inadequate.  Therefore, notwithstanding Section 20, Unitek will be entitled
to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or any other
equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of this Section 8 by Employee without the necessity
of proving actual damage or posting of any bond whatsoever.
 
9.           Restrictions on Activities of Employee.
 

 
- 6 -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(a)           Acknowledgments.  Employee and Unitek acknowledge and agree that:
 
(i)           Employee is being employed hereunder in a key capacity with Unitek
and that Unitek is engaged in a highly competitive business and that the success
of Unitek’s business in the marketplace depends upon its goodwill and reputation
for quality and dependability.
 
(ii)           Employee will have access to Confidential Information in
performing his duties for Unitek under this Agreement.
 
(iii)           Reasonable limits may be placed on Employee’s ability to compete
against Unitek and its Affiliates that are engaged in the Business (as defined
below) to the extent that they protect and preserve the legitimate business
interests and goodwill of Unitek and/or its Affiliates that are engaged in the
Business, and that the limits contained herein are in consideration for and as
an inducement for, among other things, Employee’s right to receive the options
to purchase common stock of Holdings set forth in Section 6(d).
 
(iv)           The covenants and undertakings by Employee contained in this
Section 9 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary
character, and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 9 will cause
irreparable injury to Unitek, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate
or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated by monetary
damages.  Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 9 will
be inadequate.  Therefore, notwithstanding Section 20, Unitek will be entitled
to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or any other
equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any
breach or threatened breach of this Section 9 by Employee without the necessity
of proving actual damage or posting of any bond whatsoever.  Employee consents
to jurisdiction and venue in the Federal or State courts of Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania for such equitable relief.
 
(v)           The rights and remedies provided by this Section 9 are cumulative
and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Unitek may have hereunder
or at law or in equity.  The parties hereto agree that, if any arbitrator or
court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a
specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other
relevant feature of this Section 9 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public
policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or
other relevant feature which is determined by such arbitrator or court to be
reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against
the applicable party.
 
(b)           Non-Competition Restrictions.  During the Non-Competition Period
(as defined below), Employee will not, anywhere in the Territory (as defined
below), directly or indirectly, alone or as principal, agent, employee, officer,
director, trustee, employer, consultant, investor or partner, enter the employ
of, or render services to, or own any stock or any other ownership interest in,
or make any financial investment in, any person, business or entity which is a
Competitor (as defined below) to Unitek and/or it Affilaites; provided, however,
that the ownership of not more than two percent (2%) of the outstanding
securities of any class of securities listed on a national exchange or
inter-dealer quotation system shall not constitute a violation of this Section
9(b).  For purposes of this Agreement, a business or entity shall be considered
a “Competitor” as of any point in time during the Non-Competition Period if it
engages in the business of providing outsourced services to the
telecommunications, satellite, broadband cable, cellular/wireless tower,
utility, power, management services, government, security or home services
industries, or that otherwise competes with Unitek or any of its Affiliates
within the Territory (the “Business”).  For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Non-Competition Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Effective Date
and ending twenty-four (24) months after the date Employee’s employment is
terminated.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Territory” means anywhere in the
United States of America and Canada.

Unitek or within twelve (12) months prior thereto, was known by Employee to be
employed by Unitek or any of its Affiliates (each such individual, a “Unitek
Affiliate”), (ii) hire any Unitek Affiliate or (iii) solicit any customer or
supplier of Unitek or any of its Affiliates to terminate its arrangement with
Unitek or any of its Affiliates, otherwise change its relationship with Unitek
or any of its Affiliates, or establish any relationship, directly or indirectly,
with Employee for any business purpose that is competitive with the Business.

EMPLOYEE PARTIES, hereby covenants forever not to assert, file, prosecute,
maintain, commence, institute (or sponsor or purposely facilitate any person in
connection with the foregoing), any complaint or lawsuit or any legal, equitable
or administrative proceeding of any nature, against any of the Employer Parties
in connection with any matter released in this Section 2, and represents and
warrants that no other person or entity has initiated or, to the extent within
his control, will initiate any such proceeding on his or their behalf.  For
avoidance of doubt, this Release covers both claims that Employee knows about
and those he may not know about.
 
3.           Acknowledgement of Waiver of Claims under ADEA.  Employee
acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 2 hereof, he is waiving and releasing any
rights he may have against the Employer Parties under the Age Discrimination in

voluntary.  Employee acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver
and release is in addition to anything of value to which Employee was already
entitled.  Employee further acknowledges that (a) he has had at least twenty-one
(21) days to consider and review the terms of this Release or has knowingly and
voluntarily waived his right to do so; (b) he has been advised by the Employer
Parties to consult with his attorney regarding the terms of this Release; (c)
any and all questions regarding the terms of this Release have been asked and
answered to his complete satisfaction; (d) he has read this Release and fully
understands its terms and their import; and (e) the consideration provided for
herein is good and valuable.  Employee understands that he may revoke this
Release, in writing within seven (7) days of the Execution Date, and this
Release shall not become effective and enforceable until such period has expired
(the “Revocation Period”).  In the event that Employee revokes this Release
prior to the expiration of the Revocation Period, this Release shall be null and
void ab initio, and Employee acknowledges and agrees that he will not receive
the benefits provided by this Release or in the Employment Agreement (including
payment under Section 7(c) of the Employment Agreement) if he revokes this
Release.
 
4.           Acknowledgments.  Employee acknowledges that he understands the
terms of this Release, that he has executed this Release knowingly and
voluntarily and that, before entering into this Release, he has had the
opportunity to consult with any attorney or other advisor of his choice, and has
done so, and has not relied in connection herewith on legal counsel for
Unitek.  Employee acknowledges that, in consideration for the covenants and
releases contained herein, he will receive the payments as described in Section
7(c) of the Employment Agreement, and that he would not receive such payment
without the execution of this Release.
 
5.           Modification.  This Release may not be modified or amended except
in writing signed by the parties.  No term or condition of this Release will be
deemed to have been waived except in writing by the party charged with
waiver.  A waiver shall operate only as to the specific term or condition waived
and will not constitute a waiver for the future or act on anything other than
that which is specifically waived.
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
6.           Counterparts.  This Release may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which, together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Any counterpart of this Release
that has attached to it separate signature pages that together contain the
signature of all parties hereto shall for all purposes be deemed a fully
executed original.  Facsimile signatures shall constitute original signatures.
 
7.           Successors and Assigns.  All the terms and provisions of this
Release shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
to their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither this Release nor
any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by Employee, other than by
will or the laws of descent or distribution.
 
8.           Severability.  All provisions of this Release are intended to be
severable.  In the event any provision or restriction contained herein is held
to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, in whole or in part, such finding
shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
this Release.  The parties hereto further agree that any such invalid or
unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so that it shall be enforced to
the greatest extent permissible under law, and to the extent that any court or
arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines any restriction herein to be
unreasonable in any respect, such court or arbitrator may limit this Release to
render it reasonable in the light of the circumstances in which it was entered
into and specifically enforce this Release as limited.
 
9.           Governing Law.  This Release shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without reference to principles
of conflict of laws.
 
10.           Construction.  The parties agree that this Release was negotiated
