                 KEY VICE PRESIDENT CHANGE IN CONTROL AGREEMENT


     THIS AGREEMENT dated as of June 22, 1998 is made by and between PictureTel
Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, (the "Company") and Frazer Hamilton, 16
Garden Close, Hook, Hampshire, RG 27 9QZ, United Kingdom ("Executive").

     WHEREAS the Company considers it essential to the best interests of the
Company, its shareholders, and its employees generally to foster the continuous
employment of key management personnel; and

     WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes
that, as is the case with many publicly held corporations, the possibility of a
Change in Control (as defined in the last Section hereof) exists and that such
possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among the
Company's management, may result in the departure or distraction of management
personnel to the detriment of the Company and its shareholders; and

     WHEREAS the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to
reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the
Company's management, including the Executive, to their assigned duties without
distraction in the face of potentially disrupting circumstances arising from the
possibility of a Change in Control;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the
Executive hereby agree as follows:

     1.0  DEFINED TERMS. The definition of capitalized terms used in this
Agreement is provided in the last Section hereof.
                                                               
     2.0  TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof 
and shall continue in effect through November 30, 2000; provided, however, that
commencing on December 1, 1998 and each December 1st thereafter, the term of
this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one additional year unless,
not later than September 30th preceding that December 1st, the Company or the
Executive shall have given notice not to extend this Agreement or a Change in
Control shall have occurred prior to such September 30th; provided, however, if
a Change in Control shall have occurred during the term of this Agreement, this
Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of not less than twenty-four
(24) months beyond the date on which such Change in Control occurred.

     3.0  COMPANY'S COVENANTS SUMMARIZED. In order to induce the Executive to
remain in the employ of the Company and in consideration of the Executive's
covenants set forth in Section 4.0 hereof, the Company agrees, under the
conditions described herein, to pay the Executive the "Severance Payments"
described in Section 6.1 hereof and the other payments and benefits described
herein in the event the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated
following a Change in Control and during the term of this Agreement. No amount
or benefit shall be payable under this Agreement unless there shall have been
(or, under the terms hereof, there shall be deemed to have been) a termination
of the Executive's employment with the Company following a Change in Control.
This Agreement shall not be construed as creating an express or implied contract
of employment prior to the date of a Change in Control and the Executive shall
not have any right to be retained in the employ of the Company.

     4.0  THE EXECUTIVE'S COVENANTS. The Executive agrees that, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event of a Potential Change in
Control during the term of this Agreement, the Executive will remain in the

date which is six (6) months from the date of such Potential Change of Control,
(B) the date of a Change in Control, (C) the date of termination by reason of
death or Disability, or (D) the termination by the Company of the Executive's
employment for any reason.

     5.0  COMPENSATION OTHER THAN SEVERANCE PAYMENTS.

     5.1  Following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, 
during any period that the Executive fails to perform the Executive's full-time
duties with the Company as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental
illness, the Company shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive at
the rate in effect at the commencement of any such period, together with all
compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of any
compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement maintained by PictureTel UK
Limited during such period, until the Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company for Disability.

     5.2  If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason
following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, the Company
shall pay the Executive's full salary to the Executive through the Date of
Termination at the rate in effect at the time the Notice of Termination is

     5.3  If the Executive's employment shall be terminated for any reason
following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, the Company

the Executive as such payments become due. Such post-termination compensation
and benefits shall be determined under, and paid in accordance with, PictureTel

Section 6.0 of this Agreement shall be the only severance paid following a
Change in Control during the term of this Agreement.

     6.1  The Company shall pay the Executive the payments described in this
Section 6.1 ("Severance Payments") upon the termination of the Executive's
employment following a Change in Control during the term of this Agreement, in
addition to the payments and benefits described in Section 5.0 hereof, unless
such termination is (A) by the Company for Cause, or (B) by reason of Death or
Disability. The Executive's employment shall be deemed to have been terminated
following a Change in Control by the Company without Cause if the Executive's
employment is terminated prior to a Change in Control without Cause at the
direction (or action which constitutes a direction) of a Person who has entered
into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a
Change in Control.

          (i) Subsequent to the Date of Termination, the Company shall make cash
          severance payments to the Executive over a twelve (12) month period in
          substantially equal monthly installments, in an amount equal to one

          salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event or
          circumstance upon which the Notice of Termination is based or in
          effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, and (b) the higher
          of the highest annual bonus paid to the Executive in the three years
          preceding the year in which the Date of Termination occurs or paid in
          the three years preceding the year in which the Change in Control
          occurs.

          (ii) For a twelve- (12) month period after the Date of Termination,
          the Company shall arrange to provide the Executive with medical and

          Benefits otherwise receivable by the Executive pursuant to this
          Section 6.1(ii) shall be reduced to the extent comparable benefits are
          actually received by or made available to the Executive without cost
          during the twelve (12)

          to the Company by the Executive).

     6.2  The Company also shall pay to the Executive all legal fees and 
expenses incurred by the Executive as a result of a termination which entitles
the Executive to the Severance Payments (including all such fees and expenses,
if any, incurred in disputing any such termination or in seeking in good faith
to obtain or enforce any benefit or right provided by this Agreement or in
connection with any tax audit or proceeding to the extent attributable to any
payment or benefit provided hereunder). Such payments shall be made within five
(5) business days after delivery of the Executive's written requests for payment

the termination, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the dispute
is finally resolved, either by mutual written agreement of the parties by
arbitrator's award, or, to the extent permitted by Section 14.0, by a final

continue to pay the Executive the full compensation in effect when the notice
giving rise to the dispute was given (including, but not limited to, salary) and
