5.       SEVERANCE COMPENSATION

         (a) If Employee's employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4(e) (by

continue to pay to Employee the salary which Employee would have earned through

days following termination, pay to Employee an amount equal to the amount of
salary which Employee would have earned from the date of termination through the

                                       5
<PAGE>   6
         (d) If Employee's employment is terminated by the Company pursuant to
Section 4(d) (by the Company For Cause), and subject to applicable law and
regulations, the Company shall be entitled to offset against any payments due
Employee any loss or damage which the Company shall suffer as a result of the
acts or omissions of Employee giving rise to termination under Section 4(d).

         (e) Employee acknowledges that the Company has the right to terminate
Employee's employment without cause and that such termination shall not be a
breach of this Agreement or any other express or implied agreement between the
Company and Employee. Accordingly, in the event of such termination, Employee
shall be entitled only to those benefits specifically provided in this Section
5, and shall not have any other rights to any compensation or damages from the
Company for breach of contract.

         (f) Employee acknowledges that in the event of termination of
Employee's employment for any reason, neither Employee (nor Employee's estate,
heirs, beneficiaries or others claiming through Employee) shall not be entitled
to any severance or other compensation from the Company except as specifically
provided in this Section 5. Without limitation on the generality of the
foregoing, this Section supersedes any plan or policy of the Company which
provides for severance to its officers or employees, and Employee shall not be
entitled to any benefits under any such plan or policy.

6.        COVENANT NOT TO SOLICIT

          Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) due to Employee's previous
experience in the industry in which the Company operates, being employed by the
Company will allow Employee to acquire valuable knowledge not otherwise
available to the public regarding the nature, requirements and character of, and
the design, manufacturing, processes and methods of pricing used in, the Company
Group's business and regarding the names and requirements of, and the Company's
course of dealing with, the Company Group's customers; (ii) as a result of
employment with the Company, Employee will be brought in personal contact with
the Company Group's customers and as a result Employee will establish business
goodwill, which is a valuable asset of the Company; (iii) having this knowledge
of the Company Group's business and its customers and this acquaintance with the
Company Group's customers places Employee in an unfair competitive position as
to the Company Group if Employee engages in a competing business in his own
behalf or for another; (iv) the Company Group is engaged in the sale and
distribution of golf equipment, golf apparel and related products to customers;
and (v) the provisions of this Section 6 are reasonable as to time, scope and
territory and in all other respects, and such provisions are reasonably
necessary to secure the protection of the business or goodwill of the Company
and do not prevent Employee from supporting himself and his dependents upon
termination of his employment with the Company. Accordingly, Employee covenants
and agrees that while in the Company's employ and for a period expiring one year
after the termination for any reason of Employee's employment with the Company:

         (a) Employee will not, directly or indirectly, own any interest in,
manage, operate, control, be employed by, render consulting or advisory services
to, or participate in or be connected with the management or control of any
business in any state or territory in which the


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
Company Group sells or markets its products at the time of the termination of
Employee's employment, which business is engaged in the direct marketing of any
golf equipment, golf apparel or related products of the general type sold and
distributed by the Company Group at the time of termination of Employee's
employment;

         (b) Employee will not, directly or indirectly, influence or attempt to
influence any customer of the Company Group to reduce or discontinue its
purchases of any products from the Company Group or to divert such purchases to
any Person other than the Company Group.

         (c) Employee will not, directly or indirectly, interfere with, disrupt
or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between the
Company Group and any of its respective suppliers, principals, distributors,
lessors or licensors; and

         (d) Employee will not, directly or indirectly, solicit any employee of
the Company Group to work for any Person.

         For purposes of this Section 6, "Competition with the Company Group"
shall mean direct competition for customers who are purchasers or users of golf
equipment, apparel, or related products of the type sold and distributed by the
Company Group.

7.       CONFIDENTIALITY.

         Employee agrees not to disclose or use at any time (whether during or
after Employee's employment with the Company) for Employee's own benefit or
purposes or the benefit or purposes of any other Person any trade secrets,
information, data, or other confidential information relating to customers,
development programs, costs, marketing, trading, investment, sales activities,
promotion, credit and financial data, financial methods, plans, or the business
and affairs of the Company Group generally, provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to information which is not unique to the Company Group or which is
generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of
Employee's breach of this covenant. Employee agrees that upon termination of his
employment with the Company for any reason, he will return to the Company
immediately all memoranda, books, papers, plans, information, letters and other
data, and all copies thereof or therefrom, in any way relating to the business
of the Company Group except that he may retain personal notes, notebooks,
diaries, rolodexes and addresses and phone numbers. Employee further agrees that
he will not retain or use for his account at any time any trade names, trademark
or other proprietary business designation used or owned in connection with the
business of any member of the Company Group.
