                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                    EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

     This EMPLOYMENT AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as
of December 6, 2005 is between CSAV ASIA PACIFIC LIMITED, a Hong Kong
corporation (the "Employer"), and STUART JOHN BULCRAIG (the "Employee").

     WHEREAS, the Employer wishes to employ the Employee as an executive
officer, and the Employee wishes to be employed by the Employer as an executive
officer, on the terms set forth below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     SECTION 1. EMPLOYMENT. The Employer hereby employs the Employee, and the
Employee hereby accepts employment, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.

     SECTION 2. DUTIES. The Employee shall be employed as the Managing Director
of the Employer. In such capacity, the Employee shall have the responsibilities
and duties as are assigned by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of CSAV
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), and which are consistent
with the Employee's position. At all times during the performance of this
Agreement, the Employee will adhere to the rules and regulations (the
"Policies") that have been or may hereafter be established by the Board for the
conduct of its employees or the employees of its subsidiaries or for the
position or positions held by the Employee. In the event of any inconsistency or
conflict between the terms and conditions of the Policies and this Agreement,
then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. The Employee
agrees to devote his full business time and best efforts to the performance of
his duties to the Employer.

     SECTION 3. TERM. The initial term of employment of the Employee hereunder
shall commence on December 6, 2005 (the "Commencement Date") and shall continue
until the second anniversary of the Commencement Date (the "Initial Term"),
unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6, and shall be renewed
automatically for additional one (1) year terms thereafter unless terminated by
either party by written notice to the other given at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the then current term.

     SECTION 4. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS. Until the termination of the
Employee's employment hereunder, in consideration for the services of the
Employee hereunder, the Employer shall compensate the Employee as follows:

          (a) BASE SALARY. The Employer shall pay the Employee, in accordance
with the Employer's then current payroll practices (including the timing and
manner of payment), a base salary (the "Base Salary"). The Base Salary will be
paid at an annual rate of US$150,000. The Base Salary may be increased from time
to time at the sole discretion of the Board.

          (b) INCENTIVE BONUS. At the end of each fiscal year of the Employer
during the Term, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006, the
Employee shall be eligible to receive from the Employer an annual incentive
bonus (the "Incentive Bonus"). The Incentive Bonus criteria for each fiscal year
(i) will be determined by the Board after discussion

<PAGE>

with the Employee (and the Employer will advise the Employee of such
determination) prior to the end of the first fiscal quarter of such fiscal year,
and (ii) may be based solely on the achievement of individual performance
criteria, solely on the achievement by the Employer of elements of its business
plan or on a combination of these criteria or such other criteria that the Board
may reasonably determine (including achievement of certain performance criteria
for the business unit for which the Employee is responsible/works). It is
currently contemplated that the Incentive Bonus range for all fiscal years will
be between 20%-50% of the Base Salary depending upon the satisfaction of the
Incentive Bonus criteria to be set in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence. The Incentive Bonus (if any) payable in connection with any fiscal
year shall be paid on or about May 31 of the following fiscal year. If the
Employee resigns or is terminated for Cause as defined below, no Incentive Bonus
shall be payable for the fiscal in which such resignation or termination occurs.
The amount of any Incentive Bonus payable for any fiscal year shall be paid in
cash; provided, however, that upon the determination of the Board, up to 50% of
any Incentive Bonus for any fiscal year may be paid in the form of shares of
restricted stock of Holdings (the "Bonus Shares") having a value, determined in
good faith by the Board, equal to such percentage of the total Incentive Bonus
payable for such fiscal year. The Employee agrees to execute and deliver to the
Employer all such documents, instruments and agreements relating to the Bonus
Shares as the Employer may request.

          (c) VACATION. The Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks
vacation each calendar year plus the 17 General Holidays in Hong Kong each
calendar year. Any vacation shall be taken at the reasonable and mutual
convenience of the Employer and the Employee. Up to one (1) week of accrued
vacation that has not been used as of the end of any calendar year may be
carried forward for use in the next calendar year.

          (d) INSURANCE; OTHER BENEFITS. The Employee shall be entitled to
participate in the Employer's Mandatory Provident Fund scheme subject to its
terms and conditions from time to time in place and receive any health,
accident, disability and life insurance and family leave benefits provided by
the Employer under group health, accident, disability, and life insurance and
family leave plans maintained by the Employer for its full-time, salaried
employees as such employment benefits may be modified from time to time by the
Board for all full-time, salaried employees, provided that (without duplication
of any of the foregoing benefits) the Company shall:

               (i) reimburse the Employee for 100% of cost of the premiums (not
     to exceed (x) US$7,000 per annum or (y) the average per employee premium
     payment contribution that the Employer then currently provides to its
     senior executives) associated with the Employee's health insurance coverage
     provided by a New Zealand based health insurance provider coverage;

               (ii) provide the Employee with a vehicle allowance for a vehicle
     to be used primarily in and around the city of Shenzen, the People's
     Republic of China, of US$700 per month (plus the costs of fuel and toll
     expenses incurred in connection with the performance of the Employee's
     duties hereunder) during the term of this Agreement; and

               (iii) provide the Employee with a yearly travel allowance to be

     estimate of such amount shall be submitted to the Company for its approval
     and shall not exceed US$30,000 in the aggregate in any year during the term
     of this Agreement; and

               (iv) reimburse the Employee for the annual premiums paid by the
     Employee for travel insurance coverage during the Term of this Agreement,
     provided further that an estimate of the amount of such premiums shall be
     submitted to the Company for its approval and shall not exceed US$1,000 in
     the aggregate in any year during the term of this Agreement.

          (e) WITHHOLDING. All amounts payable by the Employer to the Employee
hereunder (including, but not limited to, the Base Salary and the Incentive
Bonus) shall be reduced prior to the delivery of such payment to the Employee by
an amount sufficient to satisfy required by any applicable national, local or
other withholding tax requirements.

     SECTION 5. EXPENSES. The Employer shall reimburse the Employee for all

     Date if the Employer elects to so extend the Severance Period as
     contemplated by the last sentence of the definition of the Designated
     Period set forth below) (the "Severance Period"); provided, however, that
     (A) the Employee's right to receive the foregoing payment is expressly
     conditioned upon receipt by the Employer within 30 days following the
     Termination Date of a written release executed by the Employee, in form and
     substance satisfactory to the Employer, of any and all claims or causes of
     action of any nature relating directly or indirectly to such Employee's
     employment or termination of employment by the Employer; (B) in the event
     that the Employee breaches any of the covenants, terms or provisions of
     Sections 7, 8 or 9 hereof, without limiting any other rights that the
     Employer may have, the Employer's obligation to make payments under this
     Section 6(e)(ii) shall immediately terminate; and (C) the severance payment
     shall be reduced by any sums paid to the Employee pursuant to applicable
     law as described in Section 6(e)(iii) below. As used herein, the term
     "Termination Date" means the date of the termination of the Employee's
     employment with the Employer for any reason, including, without limitation,
     for resignation, death or Disability and whether or not for Cause.

               (iii) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6(e), the
     Employee shall not be entitled to any severance, bonus or other
     compensation after termination other than payment of any expense
     reimbursements under Section 5 hereof for expenses incurred in the
     performance of his duties prior to termination or benefits or compensation
     to which the Employee is entitled pursuant to applicable law.

     SECTION 7. INVENTIONS; ASSIGNMENT. The Employee hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives in favour of the Employer all rights granted by the
Copyright Ordinance of Hong Kong in connection with his authorship of any
copyright works in the course of his employment with the Employer, including
without limitation any moral rights and any right to claim an additional payment
with respect to use or exploitation of those works. The Employee agrees that (i)
his wages are full compensation for his services and all present and future uses
of copyright works made by him in the course of his employment; and (ii) he will
not make any claims against the Companies with respect to those copyright works.
If the Employee makes any Inventions (as defined below) that do not belong to
the Employer under the Patents Ordinance of Hong Kong, he agrees that he will
forthwith exclusively license or assign (as determined by the Employer) to the
Employer his rights in relation to such Inventions and will deliver to the
Employer all documents and other materials relating to them. The Employer will
pay to the Employee such compensation for the license or assignment as the
Employer will determine in its absolute discretion, subject to the Patents
Ordinance of Hong Kong. All rights to discoveries, inventions, improvements and
innovations (including all data and records pertaining thereto) related to the
business of any of the Companies, whether or not patentable, copyrightable,
registrable as a trademark, or reduced to writing, that the Employee may
discover, invent or

                                       -5-

<PAGE>

originate during the term of his employment hereunder, either alone or with
others and whether or not during working hours or by the use of the facilities
of any of the Companies ("Inventions"), shall be the exclusive property of the
Employer. The Employee shall promptly disclose all Inventions to the Employer,
shall execute at the request of the Employer any assignments or other documents
the Employer may deem necessary to protect or perfect the rights of the
Companies therein, and shall assist the Companies, at the Companies' expense, in
obtaining, defending and enforcing the Companies' rights therein. The Employee
hereby appoints the Employer and each of the other Companies, individually, as
his attorney-in-fact to execute on his behalf any assignments or other documents
deemed necessary by the Employer or any of the other Companies to protect or
perfect their rights to any Inventions.

     SECTION 8. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The Employee recognizes and
acknowledges that certain assets of the Companies, including, without
limitation, information regarding customers, pricing policies, methods of
operation, proprietary production processes, proprietary computer programs,
sales, products, profits, costs, markets, key personnel, formulae, product
applications, technical processes, and trade secrets (hereinafter called
"Confidential Information") are valuable, special, and unique assets of the
Companies and their affiliates. The Employee shall not, during or after his term
of employment, disclose any or any part of the Confidential Information to any
person, firm, corporation, association, or any other entity for any reason or
purpose whatsoever, directly or indirectly, except as may be required pursuant
to his employment hereunder; provided, that Confidential Information shall in no
event include (a) Confidential Information which was generally available to the
public at the time of disclosure by the Employee or (b) Confidential Information
which becomes publicly available other than as a consequence of the breach by
the Employee of his confidentiality obligations hereunder. In the event of the
termination of his employment, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether by
the Employer or the Employee, the Employee shall deliver to the Employer all
documents and data pertaining to the Confidential Information and shall not take
with him any documents or data of any kind or any reproductions (in whole or in
part) or extracts of any items relating to the Confidential Information. Nothing
contained within this Section 8 shall prohibit the Employee from disclosing
Confidential Information if such disclosure is required by law, governmental
process or valid legal process. In the event that the Employee is legally
compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, he shall provide the
Employer with prompt written notice so that the Employer, at its sole cost and
expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such
protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Employer waives
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Employee shall furnish only
that portion of the Confidential Information that he is advised by counsel is
legally required to be disclosed.
