                      CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

                  AGREEMENT made as of April 25, 1997 between Polaroid
Corporation ("Polaroid" or "Company") and Carl L. Lueders (the "Executive").

                  Executive is a skilled and dedicated employee who has
important management responsibilities and talents which benefit Polaroid.
Polaroid believes that its best interests will be served if Executive is
encouraged to remain with Polaroid. Polaroid has determined that Executive's
ability to perform Executive's responsibilities and utilize Executive's talents
for the benefit of Polaroid, and Polaroid's ability to retain Executive as an
employee, will be significantly enhanced if Executive is provided with fair and
reasonable protection from the risks of a change in ownership or control of
Polaroid. Accordingly, Polaroid and Executive agree as follows:

1.        DEFINED TERMS.

          (a)  "ANNUAL BONUS" shall mean the Executive's annual bonus paid
               pursuant to the Company's annual bonus plan in effect at the time
               (currently the Polaroid Incentive Plan for Executives). Unless
               otherwise specifically provided, the Annual Bonus shall be
               calculated assuming the Corporate target is reached and no
               additional factors are considered to decrease the Executive's
               award under the Plan.

          (b)  "ACQUIRING PERSON" shall mean any Person who or which, together
               with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, is the
               Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Stock then outstanding,
               but does not include any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee
               benefit plan of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or any
               Person holding Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such
               employee benefit plan.

          (c)  "AFFILIATE" and "ASSOCIATE" when used with reference to any
               Person, shall have the meaning given to such terms in Rule 12b-2
               of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act.

          (d)  "BASE SALARY" shall mean the annual rate of base salary
               (disregarding any reduction in such rate that constitutes
               Constructive Termination) as increased by the Board from time to

          (e)  "BENEFICIAL OWNER" shall be a Person deemed to "beneficially

                         of any securities of the Company.

               was paying immediately prior to Change in Control; PROVIDED,
               HOWEVER, that if Executive becomes employed by a new employer,
               Executive's coverage under the applicable Polaroid plans shall
               continue, but Executive's coverage thereunder shall be

               days after the Termination Date, Polaroid shall pay Executive:

               (i)  earned but unpaid compensation, including, without
                    limitation, any unpaid portion of Executive's Bonus accrued
                    with respect to the full calendar year ended prior to the
                    Termination Date; and

               (ii) all compensation previously deferred by Executive on a
                    non-qualified basis but not yet paid.

          (d)  RETIREE-MEDICAL BENEFITS. If Executive is or would become

               Control, Executive is eligible for retiree medical benefits (as
               such are determined immediately prior to Change in Control).
               Executive is eligible to commence receiving such retiree medical
               benefits based on the terms and conditions of the applicable
               plans in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

          (e)  SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING BENEFITS.

               (i)  On the Termination Date, Executive shall become vested in
                    the benefits provided under Polaroid's non-qualified defined
                    benefit pension plans or any successor plans (the
                    "Supplemental Plans").

               (ii) Within ten (10) business days after the Termination Date,
                    Polaroid shall pay Executive a lump sum cash amount equal to
                    the present value of Executive's accrued benefit under the
                    Supplemental Plans. For purposes of computing the lump sum
                    present value of Executive's accrued benefit under the
                    Supplemental Plans,

                    (A)  Polaroid shall credit Executive with two (2) years of
                         plan participation and service and two (2) years of age
                         for all purposes (including additional accruals and
                         eligibility for early retirement) over Executive's
                         actual years and fractional years of plan participation
                         and service and age credited to Executive on the
                         Termination Date; and

                                      -8-

<PAGE>

                    (B)  Polaroid shall apply the present value (and any other
                         actuarial adjustments required by this Agreement) using
                         the applicable actuarial assumptions set forth in the
                         Pension Plan. In determining Executive's benefits under
                         this paragraph (e)(B), the terms of the Supplemental
                         Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Change in
                         Control, except as expressly modified in this paragraph
                         (e), shall govern.

          (f)  EFFECT ON EXISTING PLANS. All Change in Control provisions
               applicable to Executive and contained in any plan, program,
               agreement or arrangement maintained as of the date this Agreement
               is signed (including, but not limited to, any stock option,
               restricted stock or pension plan) shall remain in effect through
               the date of a Change in Control, and for such period thereafter
               as is necessary to carry out such provisions and provide the
               benefits payable thereunder, and may not be altered in a manner
               which adversely affects Executive without Executive's prior
               written approval. This means that all awards of options,
               performance shares or such other awards as may be granted shall
               upon Change in Control be fully vested consistent with the terms
               of these Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no benefits
               shall be paid to Executive, however, under the Polaroid Extended
               Severance Plan or any other severance plan maintained generally
               for the employees of Polaroid if Executive is eligible to receive
               severance benefits under this Agreement.

          (g)  OUTPLACEMENT COUNSELING. Outplacement services will be provided
               consistent with Polaroid's outplacement practices in effect prior
               to the Change in Control.

     4.   MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the
          amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking
          other employment or otherwise, and compensation earned from such
          employment or otherwise shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable
          under this Agreement. No amounts payable under this Agreement shall be
          subject to reduction or offset in respect of any claims which Polaroid
          (or any other person or entity) may have against Executive unless
          specifically referenced herein.

     5.   GROSS-UP.

          (a)  In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or
               distribution (or combination thereof) by Polaroid, or one or more
               trusts established by Polaroid for the benefit of its employees,
               to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or
               distributed or

                                      -9-

<PAGE>

               distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or
               otherwise) (a "Payment") would be subject to the excise tax
               imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties
               are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such
               excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties,
               hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"),
               Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a
               "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that after payment by
               Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties
               imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without
               limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties
               imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax imposed upon the
               Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up
               Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

          (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), all determinations
               required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and
               when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
               Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving
               at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized
               certified public accounting firm as may be designated by
               Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
               supporting calculations both to Polaroid and Executive within
               fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from
               Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as
               is requested by Polaroid. In the event that the Accounting Firm
               is serving as accountant or auditor for an individual, entity or
               group effecting the change in ownership or effective control
               (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), Executive shall
               appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the
               determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall
               then be referred to as the Accounting Firm hereunder). All fees
               and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by
               Polaroid. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this
               Section 5, shall be paid by Polaroid to Executive within five (5)
               business days after the receipt of the Accounting Firm's
               determination. If the Accounting Firm determines that no Excise
               Tax is payable by Executive, it shall so indicate to Executive in
               writing. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be
               binding upon Polaroid and Executive. As a result of the
               uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the
               time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
               hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
               have been made by Polaroid should have been made
               ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be
               made hereunder. In the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

               event that Polaroid exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section
               5(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of
               any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of
               the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment
               shall be promptly paid by Polaroid to or for the benefit of
               Executive.

          (c)  The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any written
               claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
               require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such
               notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later
               than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed in
               writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature
               of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be
               paid (but the Executive's failure to comply with this notice
               obligation shall not eliminate his rights under this Section
               except to the extent Polaroid's defense against the imposition of
               the Excise Tax is actually prejudiced by any such failure). The
               Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the
               thirty (30) day period following the date on which he gives such
               notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date
               that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If
               the Company notifies the Executive in writing prior to the
               expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim,
               the Executive shall:

               (i)  give Polaroid any information reasonably requested by
                    Polaroid relating to such claim;

               (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as
                    Polaroid shall reasonably request in writing from time to
                    time, including, without limitation, accepting legal
                    representation with respect to such claim by an attorney
                    reasonably selected by Polaroid;

               (iii) cooperate with Polaroid in good faith in order to
                    effectively contest such claim; and

               (iv) permit Polaroid to participate in any proceedings relating
                    to such claim;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Polaroid shall bear and pay directly all costs and
               expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred
               in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold
               Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or
               income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
               thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment
               of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing
               provisions of this Section 5(c), Polaroid

                                      -11-

<PAGE>

               shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such
               contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all
               administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences
               with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at
               its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed
               and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible
               manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a
               determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of
               initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as
               Polaroid shall determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Polaroid
               directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund,
               Polaroid shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive,
               on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Executive
               harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income
               tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)
               imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
               imputed income with respect to such advance; and PROVIDED,
               FURTHER, that if Executive is required to extend the statute of
               limitations to enable Polaroid to contest such claim, Executive
               may limit this extension solely to such contested amount.
               Polaroid's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
               respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder
               and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case
               may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or
               any other taxing authority.

          (d)  If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by
               Polaroid pursuant to Section 5(c), Executive receives any refund
               with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to
               Polaroid's complying with the requirements of Section 5(c))
               promptly pay to Polaroid the amount of such refund (together with
               any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable
               thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount
               advanced by Polaroid pursuant to Section 5(c), a determination is
               made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with
               respect to such claim and Polaroid does not notify Executive in
               writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to
               the expiration of thirty (30) days after such determination, then
               such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be
               repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent
               thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.

     6.   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
          prevent Polaroid from terminating Executive's employment for Cause. If
          Executive is terminated for Cause, Polaroid shall have no obligation
          to make any payments under this Agreement, except for payments that
          may otherwise be payable under then existing employee benefit plans,
          programs and arrangements of Polaroid.

                                      -12-

<PAGE>

     7.   INDEMNIFICATION; DIRECTOR'S AND OFFICER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE.
          Executive shall, after the Termination Date, retain all rights to
          indemnification under applicable law or under Polaroid Certificate of
          Incorporation or the Polaroid By-Laws, as they may be amended or
          restated from time to time. In addition, Polaroid shall maintain
          Director's and Officer's liability insurance on behalf of Executive at
          the better of the level in effect immediately prior to the Change in
          Control or the Executive's Termination Date, for the two (2) year
          period following the Termination Date, and throughout the period of
          any applicable statute of limitations.

     8.   CONFIDENTIALITY. Without the prior written consent of the Company,
          except to the extent required by an order of a court having competent
          jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency,
          the Executive shall comply with the Confidentiality Agreement he
          executed when hired, and shall not disclose any trade secrets,
          customer lists, drawings, designs, information regarding product
          development, marketing plans, sales plans, manufacturing plans,
          management organization information (including data and other
          information relating to members of the Board and management),
          operating policies or manuals, business plans, financial records or
          other financial, commercial, business or technical information
          relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or information
          designated as confidential or proprietary that the Company or any of
          its Subsidiaries may receive belonging to suppliers, customers or
          others who do business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries
          (collectively, "Confidential Information") to any third person unless
          such Confidential Information has been previously disclosed to the
          public by the Company or is in the public domain (other than by reason
          of Executive's breach of this Section 8).

     9.   DISPUTES. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
          with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
          Boston, Massachusetts or, at the option of Executive, in the county
          where Executive then resides, in accordance with the Rules of the
          American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be
          entered on an arbitrator's award relating to this Agreement in any
          court having jurisdiction.

     10.  COSTS OF PROCEEDINGS. Polaroid shall pay all costs and expenses,
          including attorneys' fees and disbursements, at least monthly, of
          Executive in connection with any legal proceeding (including
          arbitration), whether or not instituted by Polaroid or Executive,
          relating to the interpretation or enforcement of any provision of this

                                      -13-

<PAGE>

          Agreement, except that if Executive instituted the proceeding and the
          judge, arbitrator or other individual presiding over the proceeding
          affirmatively finds that Executive instituted the proceeding in bad
          faith, Executive shall pay all costs and expenses, including
          attorneys' fees and disbursements, of Executive. Polaroid shall pay
          pre-judgment interest on any money judgment obtained by Executive as a
          result of such a proceeding, calculated at the prime rate of The Chase
          Manhattan Bank (or its successors), as in effect from time to time,
          from the date that payment should have been made to Executive under
          this Agreement.

     11.  ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall
          be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
          Polaroid and Executive and their respective heirs, legal
          representatives, successors and assigns. If Polaroid shall be merged
          into or consolidated with another entity, the provisions of this
          Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the entity
          surviving such merger or resulting from such consolidation. Polaroid
          will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
          merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the
          business or assets of Polaroid, by agreement in form and substance
          satisfactory to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform
          this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that Polaroid
          would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.
          The provisions of this Section 11 shall continue to apply to each
          subsequent employer of Executive hereunder in the event of any
          subsequent merger, consolidation or transfer of assets of such
          subsequent employer.

     12.  PAYMENTS IN EVENT OF DEATH. Should the Executive become eligible to
          receive payments and benefits under this Agreement and die prior to
          receipt of all such payments and benefits, the residual payments shall
          be made to the beneficiaries identified on the Executive's beneficiary
          form for the Executive Deferral Compensation Plan. Any residual family
          medical and dental benefits which the Executive was receiving on the
          Executive's date of death shall continue to the family members the
          Executive had covered in such medical and dental plans on such date.

     13.  WITHHOLDING. Polaroid may, to the extent required by law, withhold
          applicable federal, state and local income and other taxes from any
          payments due to Executive hereunder.

     14.  APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
          accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
          applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.

                                      -14-

     15.  ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
          between the parties and, except as expressly provided herein,
          supersedes all other prior agreements concerning the effect of a
          Change in Control on the relationship between Polaroid and Executive.
          This Agreement may be changed only by a written agreement executed by
          Polaroid and Executive.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement
on the 25th day of April, 1997.

                                                           EXHIBIT 10.20

                      CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT

                  AGREEMENT made as of November 22, 2000 between Polaroid
Corporation ("Polaroid" or "Company") and IAN J. SHIERS (the "Executive").

                  Executive is a skilled and dedicated employee who has
important management responsibilities and talents which benefit Polaroid.
Polaroid believes that its best interests will be served if Executive is
encouraged to remain with Polaroid. Polaroid has determined that Executive's
ability to perform Executive's responsibilities and utilize Executive's talents
for the benefit of Polaroid, and Polaroid's ability to retain Executive as an
employee, will be significantly enhanced if Executive is provided with fair and
reasonable protection from the risks of a change in ownership or control of
Polaroid. Accordingly, Polaroid and Executive agree as follows:

1.       DEFINED TERMS.

         (a)    "ANNUAL BONUS" shall mean the Executive's annual bonus paid
                pursuant to the Company's annual bonus plan in effect at the
                time (currently the Polaroid Incentive Plan for Executives).
                Unless otherwise specifically provided, the Annual Bonus shall
                be calculated assuming the Corporate target is reached and no
                additional factors are considered to decrease the Executive's
                award under the Plan.

         (b)    "ACQUIRING PERSON" shall mean any Person who or which, together
                with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, is the
                Beneficial Owner of 20% or more of the Stock then outstanding,
                but does not include any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee
                benefit plan of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or any
                Person holding Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such
                employee benefit plan.

         (c)    "AFFILIATE" and "ASSOCIATE" when used with reference to any
                Person, shall have the meaning given to such terms in Rule 12b-2
                of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act.

         (d)    "BASE SALARY" shall mean the annual rate of base salary
                (disregarding any reduction in such rate that constitutes

                        Executive was employed by Polaroid in the calendar year
                        in which the Termination Date occurs and the denominator
                        of which shall equal 365.

         (b)    CONTINUED WELFARE BENEFITS. Until the second anniversary of the
                Termination Date, Executive shall be entitled to participate in
                the Company's medical, dental, and life insurance plans, at the
                highest level provided to Executive during the period beginning
                immediately prior to the Change in Control and ending on the
                Termination Date and at no greater cost than the cost Executive
                was paying immediately prior to Change in Control; PROVIDED,
                HOWEVER, that if Executive becomes employed by a new employer,
                Executive's coverage under the applicable Polaroid plans shall
                continue, but Executive's coverage thereunder shall be secondary
                to (i.e., reduced by) any benefits provided under like plans of
                such new employer.

         (c)    PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BUT UNPAID AMOUNTS. Within ten (10) business
                days after the Termination Date, Polaroid shall pay Executive:

                (i)     earned but unpaid compensation, including, without
                        limitation, any unpaid portion of Executive's Bonus
                        accrued with respect to the full calendar year ended
                        prior to the Termination Date; and

                (ii)    all compensation previously deferred by Executive on a
                        non-qualified basis but not yet paid.

         (d)    RETIREE-MEDICAL BENEFITS. If Executive is or would become
                fifty-five (55) or older and Executive's age and service equal
                sixty-five (65) and Executive has at least five (5) years of
                service with the Company within two (2) years of Change in
                Control, Executive is eligible for retiree medical benefits (as
                such are determined immediately prior to Change in Control).
                Executive is eligible to commence receiving such retiree medical
                benefits based on the terms and

<PAGE>

                conditions of the applicable plans in effect immediately prior
                to the Change in Control.

         (e)    SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT AND PROFIT SHARING BENEFITS.

                (i)     On the Termination Date, Executive shall become vested
                        in the benefits provided under Polaroid's non-qualified
                        defined benefit pension plans or any successor plans
                        (the "Supplemental Plans").

                (ii)    Within ten (10) business days after the Termination
                        Date, Polaroid shall pay Executive a lump sum cash
                        amount equal to the present value of Executive's accrued
                        benefit under the Supplemental Plans. For purposes of
                        computing the lump sum present value of Executive's
                        accrued benefit under the Supplemental Plans,

                        (A)  Polaroid shall credit Executive with two (2) years
                             of plan participation and service and two (2) years
                             of age for all purposes (including additional
                             accruals and eligibility for early retirement) over
                             Executive's actual years and fractional years of
                             plan participation and service and age credited to
                             Executive on the Termination Date; and

                        (B)  Polaroid shall apply the present value (and any
                             other actuarial adjustments required by this
                             Agreement) using the applicable actuarial
                             assumptions set forth in the Pension Plan. In
                             determining Executive's benefits under this
                             paragraph (e)(B), the terms of the Supplemental
                             Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Change
                             in Control, except as expressly modified in this
                             paragraph (e), shall govern.

         (f)    EFFECT ON EXISTING PLANS. All Change in Control provisions
                applicable to Executive and contained in any plan, program,
                agreement or arrangement maintained as of the date this
                Agreement is signed (including, but not limited to, any stock
                option, restricted stock or pension plan) shall remain in effect
                through the date of a Change in Control, and for such period
                thereafter as is necessary to carry out such provisions and
                provide the benefits payable thereunder, and may not be

<PAGE>

                altered in a manner which adversely affects Executive without
                Executive's prior written approval. This means that all awards
                of options, performance shares or such other awards as may be
                granted shall upon Change in Control be fully vested consistent
                with the terms of these Agreements. Notwithstanding the
                foregoing, no benefits shall be paid to Executive, however,
                under the Polaroid Extended Severance Plan or any other
                severance plan maintained generally for the employees of
                Polaroid if Executive is eligible to receive severance benefits
                under this Agreement.

         (g)    OUTPLACEMENT COUNSELING. Outplacement services will be provided
                consistent with Polaroid's outplacement practices in effect
                prior to the Change in Control..

4.       MITIGATION. Executive shall not be required to mitigate damages or the
         amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking
         other employment or otherwise, and compensation earned from such
         employment or otherwise shall not reduce the amounts otherwise payable
         under this Agreement. No amounts payable under this Agreement shall be
         subject to reduction or offset in respect of any claims which Polaroid
         (or any other person or entity) may have against Executive unless
         specifically referenced herein.

5.       GROSS-UP.

         (a)    In the event it shall be determined that any payment, benefit or
                distribution (or combination thereof) by Polaroid, or one or
                more trusts established by Polaroid for the benefit of its
                employees, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or
                payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
                this Agreement, or otherwise) (a "Payment") would be subject to
                the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any
                interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to
                such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
                interest and penalties, hereinafter collectively referred to as
                the "Excise Tax"), Executive shall be entitled to receive an
                additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that
                after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest
                or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including,
                without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and
                penalties imposed with respect thereto) and the Excise Tax
                imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount
                of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the
                Payments.

<PAGE>

         (b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), all determinations
                required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and
                when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such
                Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving
                at such determination, shall be made by a nationally recognized
                certified public accounting firm as may be designated by
                Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall provide detailed
                supporting calculations both to Polaroid and Executive within
                fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of notice from
                Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as
                is requested by Polaroid. In the event that the Accounting Firm
                is serving as accountant or auditor for an individual, entity or
                group effecting the change in ownership or effective control
                (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), Executive
                shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to
                make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting
                firm shall then be referred to as the Accounting Firm
                hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall
                be borne solely by Polaroid. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined
                pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by Polaroid to
                Executive within five (5) business days after the receipt of the
                Accounting Firm's determination. If the Accounting Firm
                determines that no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall
                so indicate to Executive in writing. Any determination by the
                Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Polaroid and Executive. As
                a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999
                of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
                Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments
                which will not have been made by Polaroid should have been made
                ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to
                be made hereunder. In the event that Polaroid exhausts its
                remedies pursuant to Section 5(c) and Executive thereafter is
                required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting
                Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has
                occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by
                Polaroid to or for the benefit of Executive.

         (c)    The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any written
                claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would
                require the payment by the Company of the Gross-Up Payment. Such
                notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later
                than ten (10) business days after the Executive is informed in
                writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of

<PAGE>

                the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is
                requested to be paid (but the Executive's failure to comply with
                this notice obligation shall not eliminate his rights under this
                Section except to the extent Polaroid's defense against the
                imposition of the Excise Tax is actually prejudiced by any such
                failure). The Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the
                expiration of the thirty (30) day period following the date on
                which he gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter
                period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect
                to such claim is due). If the Company notifies the Executive in
                writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires
                to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

                (i)     give Polaroid any information reasonably requested by
                        Polaroid relating to such claim;

                (ii)    take such action in connection with contesting such
                        claim as Polaroid shall reasonably request in writing
                        from time to time, including, without limitation,
                        accepting legal representation with respect to such
                        claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Polaroid;

                (iii)   cooperate with Polaroid in good faith in order to
                        effectively contest such claim; and

                (iv)    permit Polaroid to participate in any proceedings
                        relating to such claim;

                PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Polaroid shall bear and pay directly all
                costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties)
                incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and
                hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise
                Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
                thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment
                of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing
                provisions of this Section 5(c), Polaroid shall control all
                proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its
                sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative
                appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing
                authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option,
                either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a
                refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and
                Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination
                before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial

<PAGE>

                jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Polaroid
                shall determine; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Polaroid directs
                Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Polaroid shall
                advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an
                interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold Executive
                harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income
                tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto)
                imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any
                imputed income with respect to such advance; and PROVIDED,
                FURTHER, that if Executive is required to extend the statute of
                limitations to enable Polaroid to contest such claim, Executive
                may limit this extension solely to such contested amount.
                Polaroid's control of the contest shall be limited to issues
                with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable
                hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest,
                as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal
                Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

         (d)    If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by
                Polaroid pursuant to Section 5(c), Executive receives any refund
                with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to
                Polaroid's complying with the requirements of Section 5(c))
                promptly pay to Polaroid the amount of such refund (together
                with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes
                applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an
                amount advanced by Polaroid pursuant to Section 5(c), a
                determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to
                any refund with respect to such claim and Polaroid does not
                notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial
                of refund prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after such
                determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not
                be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall
                offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment
                required to be paid.

6.       TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
         prevent Polaroid from terminating Executive's employment for Cause. If
         Executive is terminated for Cause, Polaroid shall have no obligation to
         make any payments under this Agreement, except for payments that may
         otherwise be payable under then existing employee benefit plans,
         programs and arrangements of Polaroid.

7.       INDEMNIFICATION; DIRECTOR'S AND OFFICER'S LIABILITY INSURANCE.
         Executive shall, after the Termination Date, retain all rights to
         indemnification under applicable law or

<PAGE>

         under Polaroid Certificate of Incorporation or the Polaroid By-Laws, as
         they may be amended or restated from time to time. In addition,
         Polaroid shall maintain Director's and Officer's liability insurance on
         behalf of Executive at the better of the level in effect immediately
         prior to the Change in Control or the Executive's Termination Date, for
         the two (2) year period following the Termination Date, and throughout
         the period of any applicable statute of limitations.

8.       CONFIDENTIALITY. Without the prior written consent of the Company,
         except to the extent required by an order of a court having competent
         jurisdiction or under subpoena from an appropriate government agency,
         the Executive shall comply with the Confidentiality Agreement he
         executed when hired, and shall not disclose any trade secrets, customer
         lists, drawings, designs, information regarding product development,
         marketing plans, sales plans, manufacturing plans, management
         organization information (including data and other information relating
         to members of the Board and management), operating policies or manuals,
         business plans, financial records or other financial, commercial,
         business or technical information relating to the Company or any of its
         subsidiaries or information designated as confidential or proprietary
         that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may receive belonging to
         suppliers, customers or others who do business with the Company or any
         of its subsidiaries (collectively, "Confidential Information") to any
         third person unless such Confidential Information has been previously
         disclosed to the public by the Company or is in the public domain
         (other than by reason of Executive's breach of this Section 8).

9.       DISPUTES. Any dispute or controversy arising under or in connection
         with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in
         Boston, Massachusetts or, at the option of Executive, in the county
         where Executive then resides, in accordance with the Rules of the
         American Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be
         entered on an arbitrator's award relating to this Agreement in any
         court having jurisdiction.

10.      COSTS OF PROCEEDINGS. Polaroid shall pay all costs and expenses,
         including attorneys' fees and disbursements, at least monthly, of
         Executive in connection with any legal proceeding (including
         arbitration), whether or not instituted by Polaroid or Executive,
         relating to the interpretation or enforcement of any provision of this
         Agreement, except that if Executive instituted the proceeding and the
         judge, arbitrator or other individual

<PAGE>

         presiding over the proceeding affirmatively finds that Executive
         instituted the proceeding in bad faith, Executive shall pay all costs
         and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, of
         Executive. Polaroid shall pay pre-judgment interest on any money
         judgment obtained by Executive as a result of such a proceeding,
         calculated at the prime rate of The Chase Manhattan Bank (or its
         successors), as in effect from time to time, from the date that payment
         should have been made to Executive under this Agreement.

11.      ASSIGNMENT. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall
         be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Polaroid
         and Executive and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
         successors and assigns. If Polaroid shall be merged into or
         consolidated with another entity, the provisions of this Agreement
         shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the entity surviving
         such merger or resulting from such consolidation. Polaroid will require
         any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger,
         consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business
         or assets of Polaroid, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory
         to Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement
         in the same manner and to the same extent that Polaroid would be
         required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. The
