        2.7 Medical, Dental, and Other Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to

programs including, without limitation, Edelbrock's right to amend or terminate

<PAGE>   3

Employee not later than May 31, 2005 of whether Edelbrock intends to seek a
five-year extension of this Agreement, and, if Edelbrock and Employee wish to
pursue an extension of this Agreement, Edelbrock and Employee shall negotiate

4. Termination

        4.1 Death. Upon the death of Employee, this Agreement shall
automatically terminate and all rights of Employee and Employee's heirs,
executors and administrators to compensation and other benefits under this
Agreement shall cease, except that Edelbrock shall pay to the estate of Employee
(i) any Base Salary to which Employee is entitled for periods worked through the
date of Employee's death and not previously paid to Employee and (ii) a lump sum
payment equal to the product of the Worked Period and the Bonus paid to Employee
for the fiscal year prior to Employee's death. For purposes of this Agreement,
the "Worked Period" shall mean the number of calendar days elapsed from the end
of Edelbrock's most recently completed fiscal year through and including the
Date of Termination divided by 360.

        4.2 Disability. Edelbrock may, at its option, terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to Employee if Employee, because of physical or mental
incapacity or disability, fails to perform the essential functions of Employee's
position hereunder for a continuous period of 90 days or any 120 days within any
twelve month period. In the event of any dispute regarding the existence of
Employee's incapacity hereunder, the matter shall be resolved by the
determination of a physician to be selected by the Board of Directors. Employee
agrees to submit to appropriate medical examinations for purposes of such
determination. Upon such termination, all obligations of Edelbrock hereunder
shall cease, except that Edelbrock shall pay to Employee (i) any Base Salary to
which Employee is entitled for periods worked through the Date of Termination
and not previously paid to Employee and (ii) a lump sum payment equal to the
product of the Worked Period, as defined herein, and the Bonus paid to Employee
for the fiscal year prior to the Date of Termination. In the event of
termination pursuant to this Section 4.2, Edelbrock agrees to pay the costs of
continuation coverage for Employee's medical benefits under the Consolidated
Budget Reconciliation Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 1161, et seq. ("COBRA") for one
year following the Date of Termination, or until such time as Employee has
become employed and obtained medical benefits elsewhere, provided that Employee
completes all necessary enrollment materials and complies with all terms and
regulations pertaining to COBRA.

        4.3 Termination by Edelbrock. Edelbrock may terminate Employee's
employment at any time, whether or not for Cause as that term is defined below.

                4.3.1 Cause.

                        (a) "Cause" shall mean any one or more of the following:

                                (i) Any willful or material failure or refusal
by Employee to perform his duties under or any material term of this Agreement
(other than by reason of Employee's death or disability); excluding, however,
any failure by Employee to perform any


                                       3
<PAGE>   4

specific duties because such performance is subject to the existence of or
satisfaction of conditions, or the occurrence of events, that are not within
Employee's control.

                                (ii) Any intentional or negligent act of fraud,
embezzlement, misappropriation or breach of fiduciary duty by Employee in
connection with Employee's duties hereunder or in the course of Employee's
employment hereunder;

                                (iii) The admission or conviction of, or
entering of a plea of nolo contendere by Employee, to any felony or any lesser
crime involving moral turpitude, fraud, embezzlement or theft;

                                (iv) Any material violation of a written policy
of Edelbrock;

                                (v) Any gross negligence, willful misconduct, or
personal dishonesty of Employee in the execution of Employee's duties or
otherwise negatively affecting Edelbrock, in the good faith determination of the
Board of Directors after notice to Employee and providing Employee with the
right to be heard; or

                                (vi) Any material breach by Employee of any of
the covenants contained in Exhibit A attached hereto.

                        (b) Employee shall be given written notice by the Board
of Directors of the intention to terminate Employee's employment hereunder for
Cause (a "Cause Notice"). Each Cause Notice shall state the particular action(s)
or inaction(s) giving rise to termination for Cause. If the basis for such
termination is one that is capable of being cured, Employee shall have twenty
days after the Cause Notice is given to cure the particular action(s) or
inaction(s). If Employee so effects a cure to the satisfaction of the Board of
Directors, exercised in the Board's good faith reasonable business judgement,
written notice of such cure shall be provided to Employee by the Board of
Directors within twenty (20) days after that cure is effected. If the Board of
Directors does not provide notice of cure to Employee on or before the twentieth
(20th) day after the cure is effected, Employee's employment shall be deemed to
have been terminated for Cause on that twentieth (20th ) day. If the basis for
such termination is one that is not capable of being cured, Edelbrock may, at
its election, either terminate Employee's employment or provide a Cause Notice
to Employee.

                4.3.2 Compensation Upon Termination By Edelbrock.

                        (a) If Edelbrock terminates Employee's employment for
Cause, all obligations of Edelbrock hereunder shall cease, except that Employee
shall be entitled to any Base Salary to which Employee is entitled for periods
worked through the Date of Termination and not previously paid to Employee.

                        (b) If Edelbrock terminates Employee's employment
hereunder for any reason other than death, disability, or Cause, as defined in
Section 4 herein, then (i) Employee shall be entitled to receive (a) any Base
Salary to which Employee is entitled for periods worked through the Date of
Termination and not previously paid to Employee, (b) an amount equal to the
total of all bonus compensation paid to Employee pursuant to Section 2.2 of this
Agreement


                                       4

period of one year following the Date of Termination, and (ii) Edelbrock agrees
to pay the costs of continuation coverage for Employee's medical benefits under
the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act, 29 U.S.C. Section 1161, et seq.
("COBRA") for one year following the Date of Termination, or until such time as
Employee has become employed and obtained medical benefits elsewhere, provided
that Employee completes all necessary enrollment materials and complies with all
terms and regulations pertaining to COBRA.

        4.4 Termination By Employee. Employee may terminate this agreement upon
sixty (60) days notice to Edelbrock. If Employee terminates this Agreement, all
obligations of Edelbrock hereunder shall cease, except that Employee shall be
entitled to receive any Base Compensation which shall have accrued through the

        4.5 Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of Employee's
employment by Edelbrock or by Employee shall be communicated by written notice
to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 9 hereof. The notice shall
indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and
shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to
provide a basis for termination of Employee's employment under the provision so
indicated.

        4.6 Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if
Employee's employment is terminated because of death, the date of Employee's
death, (ii) if Employee's employment is terminated for disability, the date

                                    EXHIBIT A

              EMPLOYEE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ASSIGNMENT AND
                            CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT

In consideration of and as a condition of my employment with Edelbrock
Corporation, a Delaware Corporation, (collectively with any successor thereof,
the "Company"), and for other good and valuable consideration had and received,
I hereby represent to, and agree with, the Company as follows.

1. PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT. I understand that the Company is engaged in a
continuous program of research, development, production, and marketing in
connection with its business and that it is critical for the Company to preserve
and protect its Proprietary Information (as defined below) and its rights in
Inventions (as defined below) and in any other intellectual property rights
developed in connection with its business. Accordingly, I am entering into this
Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement (this "Agreement")
whether or not I am expected to create inventions and other intellectual
property rights of value for the Company.

2. ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS. On behalf of myself and my heirs and assigns, I
hereby irrevocably assign all of my right, title and interest, including, but
not limited to, all patent, copyright and trade secret rights, in and to all
inventions, ideas, disclosures and improvements (whether patented or unpatented)
or any other works of authorship which are developed, made or conceived by me,
either alone or jointly with others, in whole or in part, during the period of
my employment with the Company (the "EMPLOYMENT PERIOD"), and which are not
generally known to the public or recognized as standard practice, and which (a)
relate to methods, services, apparatus, designs, products, processes or devices
manufactured, produced, designed, purchased, marketed, distributed, sold,
provided or under construction or development by the Company, its predecessors
or any subsidiary or affiliate, or (b) arise (wholly or partly) from my efforts
in providing services as an employee to the Company (an "INVENTION"). I
acknowledge and agree to communicate promptly and disclose to the Company, in
such form as the Company requests, all information, details and data pertaining
to any such Inventions, and to execute and deliver to the Company such form of
transfers and assignments and such other papers and documents as the Company may
reasonably request to permit the Company or any person or entity designated by
the Company to file and prosecute the patent applications. The Company shall pay
all costs incidental to the execution and delivery of such transfers,
assignments and other documents. I further acknowledge and agree that any
Invention or patent application made by me within one (1) year following the
termination of the Employment Period is presumed to be the property of the
Company within the provisions of this Section 2 unless I can show that the
Invention made no use of Proprietary Information (as defined below).

LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 NOTICE

I have been notified and understand that the provisions of Section 2 above do
not apply to any Invention that qualifies fully under the provisions of Section
2870 of the California Labor Code, which states as follows:


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

ANY PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WHICH PROVIDES THAT AN EMPLOYEE SHALL
ASSIGN, OR OFFER TO ASSIGN, ANY OF HIS OR HER RIGHTS IN AN INVENTION TO AN
EMPLOYER SHALL NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION THAT THE EMPLOYEE DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON
HIS OR HER OWN TIME WITHOUT USING THE EMPLOYER'S EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES,
FACILITIES, OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION EXCEPT FOR THOSE INVENTIONS THAT EITHER:

RELATE AT THE TIME OF CONCEPTION OR REDUCTION TO PRACTICE OF THE INVENTION TO
THE EMPLOYER'S BUSINESS, OR ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR
DEVELOPMENT OF THE EMPLOYER; OR

RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER.

TO THE EXTENT A PROVISION IN AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PURPORTS TO REQUIRE AN
EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN AN INVENTION OTHERWISE EXCLUDED FROM BEING REQUIRED TO BE
ASSIGNED UNDER SUBDIVISION (a), THE PROVISION IS AGAINST THE PUBLIC POLICY OF
THIS STATE AND IS UNENFORCEABLE.

I acknowledge that I have received a copy of this Agreement.

3. WORKS MADE FOR HIRE; ASSIGNMENT OF COPYRIGHTS. I acknowledge and agree that
any copyrightable works prepared by me, either alone or jointly with others,
within the scope of my employment during the Employment Period are "works made
for hire" under the United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Sections 101-810) and
that the Company will be considered the author and owner of such copyrightable
works. In the event that any such copyrightable works are not deemed to be
"works made for hire," on behalf of my heirs and assigns, I hereby irrevocably
assign all of my right, title and interest in and to such copyrightable works to
the Company.

4. ASSIGNMENT OF OTHER RIGHTS. In addition to the foregoing assignment of
Inventions and copyrightable works to the Company, on behalf of my heirs and
assigns, I hereby irrevocably transfer and assign to the Company both (a) all
worldwide patents, patent applications, trademark rights, design rights,
copyrights, mask works, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in
any Invention; and (b) any and all "Moral Rights" (as defined below) that I may
have in or with respect to any Invention. I also hereby forever waive and agree
never to assert any and all Moral Rights I may have in or with respect to any
Invention, even after termination of my work on behalf of the Company. "Moral
Rights" mean any rights to claim authorship of a work, to object to or prevent
any distortion or other modification of a work, or to withdraw from circulation
or control the publication or distribution of a work, and any similar right,
existing under judicial or statutory law of any country in the world, or under
any treaty, regardless of whether or not such right is denominated or generally
referred to as a "moral right."


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

5. ASSISTANCE. For no consideration in addition to my salary or wages during the
Employment Period, I agree to assist the Company in every necessary and
reasonable way to obtain for the Company and enforce patents, design rights,
copyrights, mask work rights, trade secret rights and all other legal
protections for the Company's Inventions in any and all countries. I will
execute any documents that the Company may reasonably request for use in
obtaining or enforcing such patents, copyrights, mask work rights, trade secrets
and all other intellectual property rights and legal protections. My obligations
under this Section 6 will continue beyond the termination of the Employment
Period, provided that the Company will compensate me at a reasonable rate after
such termination for time or expenses actually spent by me at the Company's
request on such assistance.

6. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. I understand and agree that my employment by the
Company creates a relationship of confidence and trust with respect to any
information of a confidential or secret nature that may be disclosed to me by or
on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates that (i) relates to the
business of the Company or to the business of any parent, subsidiary, affiliate,
customer or supplier of the Company or any other Party with whom the Company
agrees to hold information of such Party in confidence, or (ii) is otherwise
produced or acquired by or on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates
("Proprietary Information"). Such Proprietary Information includes, but is not
limited to, Inventions, trade secrets, marketing plans, product plans, business
strategies, financial information, forecasts, personnel information and customer
lists. Without limiting the foregoing, Propriety Information is to be broadly
defined, and includes all information that has or could have commercial value or
other utility in the business in which the Company is engaged or contemplates
engaging, and all information of which the unauthorized disclosure could be
detrimental to the interests of the Company, whether or not such information is
identified as confidential information. Proprietary Information includes not
only information disclosed by the Company to me, but also information developed
or learned by me during the course of my employment with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary Information shall not include
information that: (a) is in or enters the public domain, other than by breach of
this Agreement, prior to such disclosure by me; and/or (b) is known to me prior
to or subsequent to such disclosure without similar restrictions from a source
other than the Company, as evidenced by written records.

7. CONFIDENTIALITY. At all times, both during the Employment Period and after
its termination, I will keep and hold all Proprietary Information in strict
confidence and trust, and I will not directly or indirectly use or disclose any
of such Proprietary Information, except as may be necessary (a) to perform my
duties as an employee of the Company for the benefit of the Company, or (b) to
comply with a court order to disclose such Proprietary Information. I
acknowledge that I am aware that the unauthorized use or disclosure of
Proprietary Information of the Company may be highly prejudicial to its
interests, and may constitute an invasion of privacy and an improper disclosure
of trade secrets. Upon termination of my Employment Period with the Company, I
will promptly deliver to the Company all data, computer files, documents and
materials of any nature pertaining to my work with the Company, including all
property of the Company in whatever form, and I will not retain any tangible
data, computer files, documents or materials or copies thereof containing any
Proprietary Information without advance written permission of the Board of
Directors.

8. NO BREACH OF PRIOR AGREEMENT. I represent that my performance of all the
terms of this Agreement and my duties as an employee of the Company will not
breach any invention assignment, proprietary information or similar agreement
with any former employer or other Party. I agree that I will not bring with me
to the Company or use in the performance of my duties for the Company any
documents, data, information or materials, whether in tangible or intangible
form, of a former employer or any third party that are not generally available
to the public or have not been legally transferred to the Company.

9. DUTY NOT TO COMPETE DURING EMPLOYMENT PERIOD. I understand that my employment
with the Company requires my undivided attention and effort. As a result, during
the period of my employment with Employer, I will not engage in any employment
or business other than for the Company, or invest in or assist in any manner (as
a director, officer, employee, agent, representative or otherwise) any business
or entity that directly or indirectly competes with the business or future
business plans of the Company or any of its affiliates (a "COMPETING BUSINESS")
other than by passive stock ownership of not more than 2% of a publicly traded
entity that is also a Competing Business. I will not directly or indirectly
solicit, or cause or aid others in soliciting, other employees of the Company or
any of its affiliates, while I am presently employed at the Company or for a
period of one (1) year after the termination of the Consulting Period.

10. NOTIFICATION. I hereby authorize the Company to notify my current or future
employers of the terms of this Agreement and my responsibilities hereunder.

11. NAME & LIKENESS RIGHTS. I hereby authorize the Company to use, reuse, and to
grant others the right to use and reuse, my name, photograph, likeness, voice,
and biographical information, and any reproduction or simulation thereof, in any
media now known or hereafter developed (including but not limited to film, video
and digital or other electronic media), during the Employment Period, for
purposes the Company deems necessary for its business. I understand and agree
that I will receive no compensation whatsoever for any such use or reuse.

12. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. I understand and agree that in the event of a breach or
threatened breach of this Agreement by me, the Company may suffer irreparable
harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this
Agreement or any of its provisions, without prejudice to any other rights and
remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

13. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. I understand that this Agreement will be
governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
without regard to or application of choice of law rules or principles. In the
event that any provision of this Agreement is found by a court, arbitrator or
other tribunal to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, I understand that such
provision shall not be voided, but shall be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible under applicable law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

14. PRIOR INVENTIONS. I hereby represent and warrant that SCHEDULE 1 to this
Agreement lists and describes all and any Inventions made by me prior to the
Employment

Period which I consider to be my property and/or the property of my prior

                                    EXHIBIT B

                         AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES

        I understand and I agree that I will submit any dispute between
Edelbrock Corporation and me, including but not limited to claims of unlawful
harassment or discrimination and all disputes related to the termination of my
employment exclusively to binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator. I
acknowledge that the Company also will submit any disputes between it and me to
binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator.

        Any such arbitration will be held pursuant to the National Rules for the
Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. The
arbitrator will be selected in the manner provided in those rules. I acknowledge
that I have been advised that I have the right to review these rules before
signing this Agreement.

        By accepting or continuing in employment, I agree that arbitration shall
be the exclusive means for resolving any dispute between the Company and me,
including any allegation of unlawful discrimination or harassment or any dispute
related to the termination of my employment, and that neither I nor the Company
will bring any other action in any court or other forum. THIS AGREEMENT IS A
WAIVER OF ALL RIGHTS TO A CIVIL COURT ACTION FOR DISPUTES BETWEEN EDELBROCK AND
ME, INCLUDING UNLAWFUL HARASSMENT, DISCRIMINATION AND/OR A DISPUTED TERMINATION;
ONLY THE ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY, WILL DECIDE THE DISPUTE. However, the
Company or I may seek preliminary injunctive relief prior to the commencement of
arbitration proceedings pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1281.8.

        I agree to deliver a written request for arbitration to the Company
within one year of the date of any alleged unlawful harassment, discrimination,
my termination, or the date any other dispute against the Company arose. If the
Company does not receive a request for arbitration within one year from the date
of the alleged unlawful harassment, discrimination, my termination, or the date
any other dispute arose, I agree that I have waived any right to raise any
claim, in any forum, involving any alleged unlawful harassment, discrimination,
or related to the termination of my employment, or any other dispute against the
Company. I understand that the Company will deliver a written request for
arbitration to me within one year of the date any dispute against me arises, or
else waive its right to bring such claim in any forum. However, to the extent
federal or state law provide a longer statute of limitation, that limitation
period will apply to both me and the Company.

        I understand that the Company will advance the costs of initiating the
arbitration process. The Company and I agree that the arbitrator may award costs
of the arbitration, and I may be required to reimburse the Company for the costs
of the arbitration at that time. I also understand that all remedies available
under the law remain available to both me and the Company at and through the
arbitration. I further understand that I may elect to retain an attorney to
represent me at the arbitration.


                                       15

        The Company and I agree that if any court of competent jurisdiction
declares that any part or clause of this Arbitration Agreement is illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable, such a declaration will not affect the legality,
validity or enforceability of the remaining parts of this Agreement, and the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable part or clause will no longer be part of this
Agreement.
