                                  UNDERTAKINGS

1.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT WITH NAMTEK GROUP

1.01 I undertake with the Company that I will use my best endeavour to remain
     employed by a company within the Group or Namtek Group ("MY EMPLOYER", and
     such employment, "MY EMPLOYMENT"). If I terminate My Employment or My
     Employment is terminated for any reason other than those set out in
     paragraph 1.02 below (each a "TERMINATION EVENT") at any time before the
     third anniversary of the Completion Date, I shall pay to the Company, and
     the Company shall be entitled to recover from me, within 7 days from the
     date of the Termination Event, by way of liquidated damages, a compensation
     equal to my then income immediately preceding the termination of My
     Employment for the period commencing on the date of the Termination Event
     to the third anniversary of the Completion Date less any payment in lieu of
     notice which I have paid under My Employment ("COMPENSATION"). I
     acknowledge and agree that:

     (a)  the Compensation is a genuine pre-estimate of the loss that would be
          suffered by the Company as a result of the termination of My
          Employment on the date of the Termination Event, and is not a penalty;
          and

     (b)  the Company's right under this paragraph 1.01 to receive the
          Compensation is in addition to and without derogation from any rights
          that the Company may have against me at common law or in equity, which
          the Company reserves without limitation, including rights to seek
          injunctive relief or further damages.

1.02 Without prejudice to any other rights powers or remedies available to the
     Company under the Agreement or this letter or to My Employer and to the
     extent permitted by law, I shall not be required to pay to the Company the
     Compensation if My Employment is terminated (a) by reason of death, or (b)
     by reason of Ill Health, or (c) by My Employer in breach of the terms of My
     Employment, or (d) by My Employer (other than a termination without notice
     for cause). For the purpose of this paragraph 1.02,

     (i)  "ILL HEALTH" means such state of incapacity certified by a Registered
          Medical Practitioner that I am permanently unfit to perform the kind
          of work that I am performing under My Employment; and

     (ii) "REGISTERED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER" means any medical practitioner
          registered under the Medical Registration Ordinance (Cap. 161 of the
          laws of Hong Kong), or otherwise authorised and entitled to practise
          Western medicine in Japan in accordance with the laws of Japan.

2.   CONFIDENTIALITY UNDERTAKING

2.01 I shall neither during My Employment (except in the proper performance of
     my duties) nor at any time (without limit) after the termination of My

          or other organisation;

          company in the Group or Namtek Group; or

     (c)  through any failure to exercise due care and diligence, cause any

     any Confidential Information relating to NTE Inc. or any of its
     subsidiaries ("NAM TAI GROUP", which includes the Group and Namtek Group).

     (l)  any information which has been given to any member of Nam Tai Group in
          confidence by any customer, supplier or other person, whether written
          or non-written,

     but shall not include information that:

     Tai Group (and any copies of the same):

     (a)  shall be and remain the property of the relevant company in Nam Tai
          Group; and

     (b)  shall be handed over by myself to the relevant company in Nam Tai
          Group on demand and in any event on the termination of My Employment.

2.04 Without prejudice to paragraph 2.05, if I fail to comply with any provision
     of this paragraph 2, I shall indemnify the Company of all losses costs and
     expenses incurred by the Company in relation to its investment in Namtek
     Group or otherwise by Nam Tai Group as a result of a breach of my
     undertaking under this paragraph 2. Such indemnity payment shall in any
     event be made not more than 7 days after the date on which the Company
     notifies me of the amount of its costs and expenses to be reimbursed by me
     hereunder. I acknowledge and agree that:

     (a)  any written notice from the Company from time to time specifying the
          indemnity payment under this paragraph 2.04 shall be final, conclusive
          and binding on me in the absence of manifest error;

     (b)  to the extent not prohibited by law, the Company may deduct from any
          sums payable to me by the Company (howsoever due or payable) any part
          of the indemnity payment under this paragraph 2.04 at that time due
          and owing by me to the Company;

     I also acknowledge and undertake that I shall immediately indemnify the
     Company against any loss, cost, damage or expense (including any legal
     fees) that the Company may incur as a result of my failure to comply with
     any aspect of this paragraph 2.04.

2.05 I acknowledge that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy for the
     Company for breach by myself of my undertakings under this paragraph. I
     agree that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of my
     obligations in this paragraph and to injunctive and other equitable relief
     in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in
     equity.

3.   NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION UNDERTAKINGS

3.01 I acknowledge that:

     (1)  in the course of My Employment, I will or may have dealings with
          clients and fellow employees over whom I may develop a degree of
          influence;

     (2)  the Nam Tai Group invests a considerable amount of time, energy and

     consent to be withheld only in so far as

<PAGE>

     may be reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Nam
     Tai Group) during the currency of My Employment and for a period of 6
     months after the termination of My Employment for whatever reason (other
     than a termination by the Company in breach of the terms of My Employment):

     (a)  be engaged or interested (whether as a director, shareholder,
          principal, consultant, agent, partner or employee) in any business
          concern (of whatever kind) which shall in Hong Kong PRC and Japan be

          of services or the manufacture, sale or supply of goods, being
          services or goods of a kind with which I was concerned to a material
          extent during the period of 12 months prior to the termination of My
          Employment, provided always that nothing in this paragraph 3.01 shall
          restrain me from engaging or being interested as aforesaid in any such
          business concern in so far as my duties or work relate principally to

          period of 12 months prior to the termination of My Employment;

     (b)  either on my own behalf or on behalf of any other person, firm,

               organisation who at the date of the termination of My Employment
               or within 12 months prior to such date is or was a client or
               customer of any company in the Nam Tai Group or was in the habit

               materials or services to any company in the Nam Tai Group at any
               time during the last 12 months of My Employment and with whom or

3.02 While the restrictions contained in paragraphs 2 and 3 (on which I have had
     the opportunity to take independent advice) are considered by the Company
     and myself to be reasonable in all the circumstances, it is agreed that if
     any such restrictions, by themselves or taken together, shall be adjudged
     to be void as going beyond what is reasonable in all the circumstances for
     the protection of the interests of the Company or any other company in Nam
     Tai Group but would be adjudged reasonable if part or parts of the wording
     thereof were deleted, the relevant restriction or restrictions shall apply
     with such deletion(s) as may be necessary to make it or them valid and
     effective.

     course of My Employment) in conjunction with or in any way affecting or
     relating to the business of any member of Nam Tai Group or capable of being
     used or adapted for use therein or in connection therewith shall
     irrespective of any termination of my employment forthwith be disclosed to
     the Company and shall belong to and be the absolute property of such member

     at the expense of such company execute and do all instruments and things
     necessary for vesting the said letters patent or other protection or
     registration when obtained and all rights, title and interest to and in the
     same in such company absolutely and as sole beneficial owner or in such
     other person as the Company may specify.
