         the direction of Chief Executive Officer of Employer, and shall
         faithfully, diligently, competently and, to the best of his ability,
         exclusively devote his full business time, energy and attention (unless

         Employer. Executive may own less than a five percent (5%) interest in a
         supplier, client, or competitor of Employer if the supplier, client, or

         other issues arising from, incident to and related to any and all work,
         services and advice of Executive to Employer in carrying out his duties
         and responsibilities hereunder. Executive shall not, without the
         written consent of Employer, directly or indirectly, render services to
         or for any person, firm, corporation or other entity or organization,
         whether or not in exchange for compensation, regardless of the form in
         which such compensation, if any, is paid and whether or not it is paid
         directly or indirectly to him if the rendering of such service would
         interfere with the performance of his duties and responsibilities to
         Employer hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Executive
         may spend time and attention to personal investment and community
         activity matters and such other personal matters consistent with
         Employer's policies and procedures set forth within Employer's policy
         manual in effect from time to time which are equally applicable to all
         of Employer's executive employees, so long as the spending of such time
         and attention does not substantially interfere with the performance of
         his duties and responsibilities to Employer hereunder.

                           affecting the Employer; or

                                    (3)      The engagement by Executive in
                           personal illegal conduct which, in the reasonable

                           and/or business of Employer; or

                                    (4)      Any material breach by Executive of

                                    (5)      The commission of any act opposed
                           to the best interests of Employer for which Executive
                           would not be entitled to indemnification under
                           Employer's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
                           Amended and Restated By-Laws, each as amended as of
                           the date of this Agreement; or

                                    (6)      The failure by Executive to protect
                           the best interests of Employer through Executive's
                           gross neglect of duty.

                  terminate his employment with Employer under this Agreement

                           discontinuance or reduction is a result of Employer's

                           Employer; or

                           applicable to him, unless such discontinuance or
                           reduction is a result of Employer's policy applied
                           equally to all executive employees of Employer; or

                           discontinued by reason of law or loss of tax
                           deductibility to the Employer with respect to the

                  (iv)     DISAGREEMENTS. Any disagreement concerning whether
         there has been Just Cause for termination by Employer or Good Reason
         for termination by Executive will be resolved by binding arbitration in

         (c)      EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon termination of Executive's
employment with Employer:

                  (i)      BY EMPLOYER FOR JUST CAUSE. Executive shall not be
         entitled to receive payment of any salary, bonus, expenses, or other
         benefits beyond the date of termination and, subject to this subsection
         3(c)(i), and Section 17, this Agreement shall become null and void
         effective as of the date of termination and Employer and Executive
         shall have no further obligation hereunder toward the other except for
         the payment of salary, bonus, vacation, expenses and benefits, if any,
         which have accrued but remain unpaid prior to and as of the termination
         date.

                  (ii)     BY EXECUTIVE FOR GOOD REASON.

                           (1)      Employer shall pay to Executive salary,
                  bonus, vacation, expenses, and benefits, which have accrued
                  but remain unpaid prior to and as of the termination date,
                  within the time period for such payment specified by the laws
                  of the state of California.

                           (2)      In addition to such amounts under subsection
                  3(c)(ii)(1) above, Executive shall be paid by Employer in a
                  lump sum within twenty (20) business days of such termination,
                  an amount that is equal to the sum of the following:

                                    (A)      The amount equivalent to salary
                           payments for eighteen (18) months (twenty-four (24)
                           months if such termination is pursuant to subsection
                           3(b)(ii)(12)), at that rate of pay which is not less
                           than Executive's rate of Base Cash Salary in effect
                           immediately prior to the effective date of such
                           termination (without regard to any attempted
                           reduction or discontinuance of such salary); and

                                    (B)      The amount equivalent to eighteen
                           (18) months (twenty-four (24) months if such
                           termination is pursuant to subsection 3(b)(ii)(12)),
                           multiplied by the greater of (i) the monthly rate of
                           the bonus payment for the bonus period in the year
                           immediately prior to Executive's termination date or
                           (ii) the estimated amount of the bonus for the period
                           which includes Executive's termination date (without
                           regard to any attempted reduction or discontinuance
                           of such bonus).

                           (3)      In addition to such amounts under
                  subsections 3(c)(ii)(1) and 3(c)(ii)(2) above, Executive shall
                  also receive, (i) in cash, the value of the incentive
                  compensation (including, but not limited to, employer
                  contributions to the Universal Electronics Inc. 401(K) and
                  Profit Sharing Plan) and (ii) the

                                       83
<PAGE>

                  rights to receive grants of stock options and stock awards to
                  which he would have been entitled under all incentive
                  compensation and stock option and stock award plans maintained
                  by Employer if Executive had remained in the employ of
                  Employer for twelve (12) months (without regard to any
                  attempted reduction or discontinuance of such incentive
                  compensation). The amount of such payment and/or grants shall
                  be determined as of the date of termination and shall be paid
                  and/or issued as promptly as practicable and in no event later
                  than thirty (30) days after such termination.

                           (4)      Employer shall also maintain in full force
                  and effect for the Executive's continued benefit (and, to the
                  extent applicable, the continued benefit of his dependents)
                  all of the employee benefits (including, but not limited to,
                  coverage under any medical and insurance plans, programs or
                  arrangements) to which he would have been entitled under all
                  employee benefit plans, programs or arrangements maintained by
                  Employer if Executive had remained in the employ of Employer
                  for eighteen (18) months (twenty-four (24) months if such
                  termination is pursuant to subsection 3(b)(ii)(12)), (without
                  regard to any attempted reduction or discontinuance of such
                  benefits), or if such continuation is not possible under the
                  terms and provisions of such plans, programs or arrangements,
                  Employer shall arrange to provide benefits at least equal to
                  those which Executive (and, to the extent applicable, his
                  dependents) would have been entitled to receive if he had
                  remained a participant in such plans, programs or for such
                  eighteen (18) months period (twenty-four (24) months if such
                  termination is pursuant to subsection 3(b)(ii)(12)),(without
                  regard to any attempted reduction or discontinuance of such
                  benefits).

                           (4)      Subject to this subsection 3(c)(ii), and
                  Section 17, this Agreement shall become null and void
                  effective as of the date of termination and Employer and
                  Executive shall have no further obligation hereunder toward
                  the other.

                  (iii)    PURSUANT TO SUBSECTION 3(b)(iii). Executive
         acknowledges and agrees that in the event that this Agreement
         terminates in accordance with subsection 3(b)(iii), that Employer and
         Executive shall have no further obligation hereunder toward the other
         except (1) for the payment of salary, bonus, vacation, expenses and
         benefits, if any, which have accrued but remain unpaid prior to and as
         of the termination date and (2) as set forth in Section 17.

                  (iv)     SUBMISSION OF RESIGNATION BY EXECUTIVE. Upon
         termination of this Agreement by either Employer or Executive as set
         forth herein and the receipt by Executive of (1) all cash amounts due
         him as set forth herein and (2) a written representation signed by an
         authorized representative of Employer that all non-cash obligations of
         Employer as set forth herein have been fulfilled or, as the case may
         be, have been commenced, Executive shall immediately submit Executive's
         resignation for any and all offices or directorships of Employer and/or
         any and all subsidiaries and affiliates of Employer (the "Resignation")

         however that during such time period from the effective date of such
         termination to the date Executive submits the Resignation, Executive
         acknowledges and agrees that he does not have authority to bind
         Employer to any contracts or commitments and agrees not to create any
         obligation for Employer or bind or attempt to bind Employer in any
         manner whatsoever. Executive also acknowledges that he shall have no

entered into by Employer or any of its subsidiaries shall result in "excess
parachute payments" to him within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal

rates thereof in the calendar year in which the gross-up payment is to be made,
net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes obtainable from deduction
of such state and local taxes. The computations required by this Section 5 shall
be made by the independent public accountants then regularly retained by
Employer, in consultation with tax counsel selected by and acceptable to
Executive. Employer shall pay all of its accountants' fees and the lesser of (i)

                  hereafter owned by the Employer;

                           (ii)     Not sell, exchange or give away, or
                  otherwise dispose of any trade secrets now or hereafter owned
                  by Employer, whether the same shall or may have been

                  subpoena, or court order, provided, however, that to the
                  extent that Executive can, Executive shall first give written
                  notice to Employer so that Employer may seek an appropriate
                  protective order; and

                           (iv)     Not reveal, divulge or make known to any

                  this Agreement, unless required to do so by law, regulation,
                  subpoena, or court order and provided that it shall not be a
                  breach of this Agreement for Executive to present this
                  Agreement under seal to any court or arbitral tribunal called
                  upon to enforce it.

                           (iii)    Solicit for hire, either directly or
                  indirectly, or hire as a result of such solicitation, any key
                  employee of Employer, except that Executive may hire any such
                  key employee so long as such hiring was made as a result of a
                  general solicitation of employment through typical
                  solicitation means, such as advertisements and the like, or
                  such solicitation was initiated by such key employee.

         employment with Employer any and all written information, material or
         equipment that constitutes, contains or relates to Employer's trade
         secrets and which relate to Employer's business which are in
         Executive's possession, custody and control, whether confidential or
         not, including any and all copies thereof which may have been made by
         or for Executive. Executive shall maintain no copies thereof after
         termination of his employment.
