any reason, Pook will be entitled to any additional rights pursuant to policies

         stock of Company) is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in
         Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of 25% or
         more of the combined voting power of Company's outstanding securities;

                  (b) individuals who constitute the Board on the date hereof
         (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a

         such person is named as a nominee for director, without objection to
         such nomination) shall be, for purposes of this clause (b), considered
         as though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board.

                  (c) the stockholders of Company approve a merger or
         consolidation of Company with any other company, other than (1) a

         (either by remaining outstanding by or being converted into voting
         securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined
         voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving
         entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation or
         (2) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization
         of Company (or similar transition) in which no "Person" (as defined

Control shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Agreement by
virtue of any transaction which

                                       5

         Company), who is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or
         indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25% or more of
         the combined voting power of Company's then outstanding securities,

         successive or simultaneous acquisition by a total of 3 percentage
         points or more over the percentage so owned by such person prior to
         such acquisition; or

                  (b) as severance pay and in lieu of any further salary for
         periods subsequent to the Date of Termination, Company shall pay to
         Pook at the time specified in subsection (vii), a single lump sum
         severance payment (the "Severance Payment") in an amount in cash equal
         to three times Pook's annual Base Salary at the rate in effect just
         prior to the time a Notice of Termination is given;

                  (c) Company shall maintain in full force and effect, for the
         continued benefit of Pook and Pook's dependents for a period
         terminating on the earliest of (x) two years after the Date of
         Termination or (y) the commencement date of equivalent benefits from a
         new employer all life, accidental death, medical and dental insurance
         plans or programs in which Pook was entitled to participate immediately
         prior to the Date of Termination, provided that Pook's continued
         participation is possible under the general terms and provisions of
         such plans and Pook continues to pay an amount equal to his regular
         contribution for such participation, if any. If, at the end of two
         years after the Termination Date Pook has not previously received or is
         not then receiving equivalent benefits from a new employer, Company
         shall arrange, at its sole cost and expense, to enable Pook to convert
         Pook and Pook's dependents' coverage under such plans to individual
         policies or programs upon the same terms as employees of company may
         apply for such conversions. In the event that Pook's participation in
         any such plan is barred, Company at its sole cost and expense, shall
         arrange to have issued for the benefit of Pook and Pook's dependents
         individual policies of insurance providing benefits substantially
         similar (on an after-tax basis) provided that, Company shall be
         responsible for the payment of such benefits (on an after tax basis) to
         those which Pook otherwise would have been entitled to receive under
         such plans pursuant to this paragraph (c) or, if such insurance is not
         available at a reasonable cost to Company, Company shall otherwise
         provide Pook and Pook's dependents equivalent benefits (on an after tax
         basis) for a period not to exceed five years following the end of the
         two years after the Termination Date. Pook shall not be required to pay
         any premiums or other charges in an amount greater than that which Pook
         would have paid in order to participate in such plans.

                  Company shall pay Pook for any vacation time earned but not
         taken at the Date of Termination, at an hourly rate equal to Pook's
         annual Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the time a Notice
         of Termination is given divided by 2080.

                  Company shall pay to Pook all legal fees and expenses incurred
         by Pook as a result of such termination, including all such fees and
         expenses, if any, incurred in contesting or disputing any such
         termination in seeking to obtain or enforce any right or benefit
         provided by this Section 6 of this Agreement (other than any such fees
         or expenses incurred in connection with any such claim which is
         determined to be frivolous) or in connection with any tax audit or
         proceeding to the extent attributable to the application of section
         4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

                                       9
<PAGE>

         (iv) COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION BY POOK WITHOUT GOOD REASON. If
Pook's employment shall be terminated by Pook without Good Reason following a
Change in Control, Company shall make the payments set forth in Section 5.6(ii)
of this Agreement.

         (v) NO OFFSETS OR REDUCTIONS. Except as specifically provided above,
the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 6.5 shall not be reduced
offset or subject to recovery by Company by reason of any compensation earned by
Pook as the result of employment by another employer after the Date of
Termination, or otherwise. Pook's entitlements under Section 6.5 of this
Agreement are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights, benefits or
entitlements Pook may have under the terms or provisions of any Plan.

         (vi) COMPANY'S DEDUCTION OF PAYMENT. Notwithstanding anything in the
foregoing to the contrary, Company shall not be obligated to pay any portion of
any amount otherwise payable to Pook pursuant to this Agreement if the payment
would cause any amount to be paid by Company to Pook to not be reasonably
deductible by the Company solely by operation of Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any equivalent successor provision of law.

         (vii) TIME OF PAYMENT. The payments provided for in Subsection (iii)
shall be made not later than the fifth day following the Date of Termination;
provided, however, that if the amounts of such payments cannot be finally
determined on or before such day, Company shall pay to Pook on such day an
estimate, as determined in good faith by Company, of the minimum amount of such
payments and shall pay the remainder of such payments (together with interest at
the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) as soon as the amount
thereof can be determined but in no event later than the thirtieth day after the
Date of Termination. In the event that the amount of the estimated payments
exceeds the amount subsequently determined to have been due, such excess shall
constitute a loan by Company to Pook payable on the fifth day after demand
therefor by Company (together with interest at the rate provided in Section
1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code).

         6.6. SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

         (i) SUCCESSORS. Company will require any Successor (whether direct or
indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of Company to expressly assume
and agree to perform Company's obligations under this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that Company would be required to perform it if
not such succession had taken place. Failure of Company to obtain such
assumption and agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall
be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Pook to compensation from
Company in the same amount and on the same terms to which Pook would be entitled
hereunder if Pook terminated his employment for Good Reason following a Change
in Control of Company, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing,
the date on which any such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date
of Termination. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as
hereinbefore defined and any Successor to its business and/or assets as
aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of
law, or otherwise.

                                       10

         (ii) BINDING AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by Pook and Pook's personal or legal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and
legatees. If Pook should die while any amount would still be payable to him
hereunder if Pook had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise
provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to
Pook's devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to
Pook's estate.

         6.7. ARBITRATION. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in
connection with Section 6 of this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by
arbitration in California by three arbitrators in accordance with the rules of
the American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on
the arbitrators' award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that
Pook shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Pook's right to be paid
until the Date of Termination during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with the Agreement. Company shall bear all costs
and expenses arising in connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to
this Section 6.7.

         6.8. SURVIVAL. The respective obligations of, and benefits afforded to,
Company and Pook as provided in Section 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7 of this Agreement shall
survive termination of this Agreement.

         6.9. TERMINATION OF COMPANY'S OBLIGATION. If at any time within the 24
month period following termination of Pook's employment without Cause by Company
pursuant to Section 6.4(iv) or termination by Pook for Good Reason pursuant to
Section 6.4(iii) of this Agreement, Pook breaches any of his obligations under
Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 of this Agreement, then Company's obligation to
make payments under Section 6.5(iii) shall cease as of the date such breach
occurs.

previously agreed to the termination, then within thirty (30) days after any
Notice of Termination is given, the party receiving such Notice of Termination
may notify the other party that a dispute exists concerning the termination, in
which event the Date of Termination shall be the date set either by mutual
written agreement of the parties or by the arbitrators in a proceeding as
