                [LETTERHEAD OF CHANNELL COMMERCIAL CORPORATION]

December 4, 1995
(Revision #1 from November 30, 1995)



Mr. John Kaiser
21921 Annette Avenue
Lake Forest, California 92630


Dear John,

It has been a pleasure over the last three months discussing with you my
company's strategic and future opportunities.  Obviously, the broadband
telecommunications industry is going through one of the largest transitions
ever before witnessed in modern day business.  To direct Channell Commercial's
Broadband Division through these strategic times, the organization must
concentrate on at least three specific goals.  These goals are as follows:

 .  Home demarkation convergence between copper, coax and fiber deployment at the
   home.
 .  Large "ONU" cabinet deployment to properly monitor our flow and prevent
   illegal access from pedestrians as well as other utilities.
 .  Expand our "GLB" Grade Level Box business to maximize our enclosure expansion
   plans.

To assist us in becoming a dominant player in the above markets, I would like
you to join our organization as the "Director of North American Broadband
Telecommunication Sales". Your years of experience in outside sales, coupled
with your excellent management skills and thermal plastics background, make you
an excellent selection for this high level position.

Obviously, there are also a few reorganization goals the company must be acutely
aware of to properly address potential financial restraints which will be caused
by convergence. To assist you in understanding this statement, I have included
an organizational chart to assist in comprehending what I believe may be
necessary in manpower to accomplish your divisional goals. Furthermore, I feel
there are three financial issues which you and your managers will need to
address in 1996, due to convergence. These topics are as follows:

 .  Defining base salary ranges and categories factored on experience.
 .  Increasing commission structures over annual base salary anticipated
   increases.
 .  Create a larger manufacturer representation and possible distribution avenue
   to promote our products versus adding additional sales personnel.

To assist you in understanding all of the ramifications involved in this
position, the following outline will summarize your additional job
entitlements:

 .  Title - Director of North American Broadband Telecommunications Division.
   Note: This title will change to Vice President when we make corporate title
   changes. This change will then make it possible for you to have directors on
   various market segments.
 .  Position will report directly to Executive Vice President.
 .  Position will warrant participation by you in all director(s) management
   meetings.
 .  Position will warrant complete financial responsibility for all
   domestic broadband affairs, groups or divisions.
 .  Position will be responsible for developing our corporate strategic "three
   (3) and five (5) year" sales plans (Participation by our Chief Financial
   Officer, our Director of Marketing and me will be mandatory for this plan to
   be adopted).

Obviously, it is in my best interest to offer you a competitive package which
typifies the importance of your position and expected contribution levels to our
company.

The following economic key issues are examples of my commitment to you and your
family:

 .  Salary:      $115,000 base paid bi-monthly.
 .  Recruitment:
                A $37,000 adjustment will be made to your first year's
                compensation package to offset your (guaranteed) March, 1996
                earnings at General Polymer. It is my understanding these
                monies will be directly deposited into an IRA of your choice. We
                would ask the monies be distributed to you under the budgetary
                outline in Attachment "A" (relocation and recruitment).

 .   Bonus:    Fifty percent (50%) maximum contributions available
              based on directors annual pre-tax profit objectives.
 .   Auto:     Volvo 850.  Your obligation is gas within a 100-mile
              radius of the office.  Over 100 miles, our gas allowance
              will apply.
 .   Medical/Travel Benefits:
              See enclosed materials.
 .   Travel Budget:
              See enclosed Attachment "A".
 .   Relocation Expenses:
              My objective is to outline my thoughts regarding your
              Western Regional Manager's relocation. I am open to some
              modification, but I am hopeful the following will
              address the major potential family issues:

              - We will get three (3) appraisals on his/her existing
                home and pay the average median price for the property
                so the equity in the home can be used to purchase a
                new residence in Southern California.
              - We will pay all closing costs.
              - We will contribute $5,000 in incidentals on the
                purchase of a new home, or $1,500 if they elect to
                rent. Within the first 18 months of employment, we
                will compensate him/her a maximum of $5,000 if they
                rent first then purchase a home later.
              - All moving expenses will be paid by the company after
                three bids are reviewed. (Please note: We will
                transport up to two cars, but no boats, trailers or
                vacation vehicles).

Overall, I would like you to be very comfortable with your decision to join our
organization.  To assist you in making this career change, I would like to offer
you an option or a small form of security to you and your family.  If, within
the first thirty (30) months of your employment at Channell, you do not feel
satisfied with your move from General Polymer, I will pay you up to six months
of your base salary while you are pursuing another job opportunity.  This also
means I will extend your existing medical benefits through this period to you
and your family!  Once you have accepted another job, our obligation at Channell
will end.

Although, everyone at Channell must perform to a level of quality indicative of
their job description to have job security, this offer is only activated if you
elect to pursue this option.  The only way this offer can be nullified is if an
illegal act involving the company on your behalf is associated with your
decision to leave Channell.

In conclusion, I am hopeful you and your family will join us in the coming
year.  I personally feel this job is right up your alley and can offer you many
new challenges not previously available to you.  Furthermore, I feel your trip
to Hawaii in June, 1996 will be a timely point for you to "come up for air" if
you should elect to take on this business endeavor.

Your consideration regarding this offer is appreciated.  I look forward to
hearing your reply regarding the enclosed information at your earliest
convenience.

Cordially,

/s/ Bill Channell
