     plan generally consistent with the Company's practice under its 1991

     numbers of Options are available to provide adequate incentive to
     other levels of management, alternative arrangements may be made. 
     Awards (if made) under such LTIPs shall be at the discretion of the
     Compensation Committee and based on appropriate Executive and Company
     performance criteria and will generally approximate (assuming
     performance criteria are achieved) 40% to 60% of the Executive's Base

     purchase price of such stock (but not more than $100,000) in
     accordance with the Loan Documents.  The Company agrees to consider
     providing forgiveness of a certain portion of the loan principal
     and interest if previously agreed upon performance targets (Executive

               benefit plans and programs in which the Executive was
               entitled to participate immediately prior to the Date of
               Termination, to the extent permitted thereunder.  In
               the event that the Executive's participation in any such
               plan or program is not permitted, the Company shall arrange
               to provide the Executive with benefits substantially
               similar to those which the Executive would otherwise
               have been entitled to receive under such plans and
               programs;

                         (C)  the Company shall pay to the Executive, in
               a lump sum within 90 days after his Date of Termination, an
               amount equal to the greater of (x) the Executive's targeted
               Short-Term Bonus for the fiscal year in which occurs the
               Date of Termination or (y) the greatest Short-Term
               Bonus paid to the Executive in respect of the two fiscal
               years ending prior to the fiscal year in which occurs the
               Date of Termination; and

                         (D)  the Executive's Options, if any, shall
               become 100% vested as of the Date of Termination and shall
               remain exercisable until the earlier of (1) the date such
               Option would otherwise expire without regard to this
               Agreement or (2) the expiration of the Severance Period.

               (c)  Survival. The expiration or termination of the Term
     shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto which
     shall have accrued hereunder prior to such expiration.

               (d)  Mitigation Not Required.  The Executive shall not be
     required to seek other employment to mitigate damages, and the
     Executive's payments and benefits hereunder during the Severance
     Period shall not be subject to offset by the amount of income earned
     by the Executive from other employment or self-employment during the
     Severance Period.

               (e)  Reduction in Payments.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the
payments to the Executive under Section 6 of this Agreement, either alone
or together with other payments the Executive has a right to receive from
the Company, would not be deductible (in whole or in part) by the Company
as a result of such payments constituting a "parachute payment" (as
defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the
"Code")), such payments shall be reduced to the largest amount as will
result in no portion of the payments under Section 6 not being fully
deductible by the Company as the result of Section 280G of the Code.  The
determination of any reduction in the payments under Section 6 pursuant to
the foregoing sentence shall be made exclusively by Ernst & Young,
or such other firm of independent public accountants as may be serving as

                                     9  
<PAGE>

the Company's principal auditors immediately prior to the Date of 
Termination (whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company), and
such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Company
and the Executive.

          7.   Non-Interference; Non-Competition.

               (a)  The Executive hereby agrees, in consideration of his
     employment hereunder and in view of the confidential position to be
     held by the Executive hereunder, that during the Term and during any
     Severance Period, and in the event of the Executive's 
     resignation without Cause, during the 12 month period beginning on
     the Date of Termination, the Executive will not directly or 
     indirectly, by or for himself, or as the agent of another, or through
     others as an agent, 

                         (i)  in any way solicit or induce or attempt to
          solicit or induce any employee, officer, representative,
          consultant, or other agent of the Company (whether such person
          is presently employed by the Company or may hereinafter be so
          employed), to leave the Company's employ or otherwise interfere
          with the employment relationship between any such person and the
          Company; or 

                         (ii) take any action to purchase or obtain goods
          or services, from any of the Company's proprietary suppliers or
          other supplier with whom the Company has developed a unique or
          exclusive relationship; or 

                         (iii)     in any way solicit, or attempt to
          divert, take away or call on, any customers or potential
          customers of the Company.

               (b)  The Executive hereby agrees, in consideration of his
     employment hereunder and in view of the confidential position to be
     held by the Executive hereunder, that during the Term and, in the
     event of his resignation without Cause, during the 12 month period
     beginning on the Date of Termination, the Executive will not, without
     the prior written consent of the Board, directly or indirectly engage
     in, or have any interest in, or manage or operate any person, firm,
     corporation, partnership or business (whether as director, officer,
     employee, agent, representative, partner, security holder, consultant
     or otherwise) that engages in any business which competes with any
     business of the Company or any subsidiary anywhere in the world;
     provided, however, that Executive shall be permitted to acquire a
     stock interest in such a corporation provided such stock is
     publicly traded and the stock so acquired is not more than one
     percent of the outstanding shares of such corporation.

               (c)  In the event the agreement in this Section 7 shall be
     determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable
     by reason of its extending for too great a period of time or over too
     great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in
     any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the
     maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, and/or over
     the maximum geographical area as to which it may be enforceable
     and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may

                                     10 
<PAGE>

     be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

          8.   Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information.  

               (a)  Except as required in the faithful performance of the
     Executive's duties hereunder or pursuant to subsection (c), Executive
     shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not directly,
     indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or
     use for his benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation
     or other entity any confidential or proprietary information or trade
     secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation,
     information with respect to the Company's operations, processes,
     products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals,
     vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing
     methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status,
     compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment, or
     deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any
     document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of
     or containing any such confidential or proprietary information or
     trade secrets; provided, however, that no information otherwise in
     the public domain (other than by an act of Executive in violation
     hereof) shall be considered confidential.  The parties hereby
     stipulate and agree that as between them the foregoing matters are
     important, material and confidential proprietary information and
     trade secrets and affect the successful conduct of the businesses of
     the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company).
  
               (b)  Upon termination of Executive's employment with
     Company for any reason, the Executive will promptly deliver to the
     Company all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes,
     notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial
     documents, or any other documents concerning the Company's customers,
     business plans, marketing strategies, products or processes which are
     Company property, or which are non-public or which contain 
     proprietary information or trade secrets.

               (c)  Executive may respond to a lawful and valid subpoena
     or other legal process but shall give the Company the earliest
     possible notice thereof, shall, as much in advance of the return date
     as possible, make available to the Company and its counsel
     the documents and other information sought and shall assist such
     counsel in resisting or otherwise responding to such process.

          9.   Injunctive Relief.  It is recognized and acknowledged by
     Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 7 and
     8 will cause irreparable damage to Company and its goodwill, the
     exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain,
     and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. 
     Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of
     the covenants contained in Sections 7 and 8, in addition to any
     other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company
     will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief.  
  
          10.  Indemnification and Insurance; Legal Expenses.  
     Notwithstanding any other indemnification agreement between the
     Company and the Executive that may be in effect from time to time,

                                     11 
<PAGE>

     the Company shall indemnify the Executive to the fullest extent
     permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as in effect at the
     time of the subject act or omission, and shall advance to the
     Executive reasonable attorney's fees and expenses as such fees and
     expenses are incurred (subject to an undertaking from the Executive
     to repay such advances if it shall be finally determined by a
     judicial decision which is not subject to further appeal that the
     Executive was not entitled to the reimbursement of such fees and
     expenses) and he will be entitled to the protection of any insurance
     policies the Company may elect to maintain generally for the benefit
     of its directors and officers against all costs, charges and expenses
     incurred or sustained by him in connection with any action, suit or
     proceeding to which he may be made a party by reason of his
     being or having been a director, officer or employee of the Company
     or any of its subsidiaries or his serving or having served any other
     enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request
     of the Company (other than any dispute, claim or controversy arising
     under or relating to this Agreement).  The Company covenants to
     maintain for the benefit of the Executive (in his capacity as an
     officer and director of the Company) directors and officers insurance
     with respect to acts or omissions during the Term; provided that the
     Board may elect to terminate directors and officers insurance for all
     officers and directors, including the Executive, if a majority of the
     Board determines in good faith that such insurance is not available
     or is available only at unreasonable expense.

          11.  Binding on Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Executive and their
respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives,
executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as
applicable.

          12.  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed, 
construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the substantive
laws of the State of Delaware.

          13.  Validity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect.

          14.  Notices.  Any notice, request, claim, demand, document and
other communication hereunder to any party shall be effective upon receipt
(or refusal of receipt) and shall be in writing and delivered personally
or sent by telex, telecopy, or certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid, as follows:


                                     12  
<PAGE>
               (a)  If to the Company, 

                         International Technology Corporation
                         23456 Hawthorne Boulevard
                         Torrance, CA  90505

                         Attention: General Counsel

               (b)  If to the Executive, to him at the address set forth
      below under his signature; 

or at any other address as any party shall have specified by notice in
writing to the other parties.

          15.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of
which together will constitute one and the same Agreement.

          16.  Entire Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement are intended
by the parties to be the final expression of their agreement with respect
to the employment of the Executive by the Company and may not be 
contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.  The
parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete
and exclusive statement of its terms and that no extrinsic evidence
whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other
legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement.
         
          17.  Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified,
amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the
Executive and the Chairman of the Board.  By an instrument in writing
similarly executed, the Executive or the Company may waive compliance by
the other party or parties with any provision of this Agreement that such
other party was or is obligated to comply with or perform, provided,
however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel
with respect to, any other or subsequent failure.  No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power
provided herein or by law or in equity.

          18.  No Inconsistent Actions.  The parties hereto shall not
voluntarily undertake or fail to undertake any action or course of action
inconsistent with the provisions or essential intent of this Agreement. 
Furthermore, it is the intent of the parties hereto to act in a fair and
reasonable manner with respect to the interpretation and application of
the provisions of this Agreement.

          19.  Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising under or
in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by 
arbitration, conducted before a panel of three arbitrators in the city in
which the Executive is then based (or was last based during the Term if
the Executive has then terminated employment with the Company) in
accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in
effect.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's award in any court

                                     13  
<PAGE>

having jurisdiction over the parties; provided however, that the Company
shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any court
of competent jurisdiction to prevent any continuation of any violation of
the provisions of Sections 7 or 8 of the Employment Agreement and provided
further that the Executive shall be entitled to seek specific performance
of his right to be paid during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement.  The fees and expense
of the arbitrator shall be borne by the Company.

          20.  Attorney's Fees.  In the event of any arbitration or
litigation arising under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover his or its reasonable attorney's fees from the other
party.
