CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS On August 13, 1992, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Employment Agreements of certain of the Company's senior management, including certain of the senior management included in the table set forth above. A description of the material terms of such employment agreements, each of which is effective as of July 7, 1992 (unless stated to the contrary) follows. Geoffrey P. Jurick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, entered into five-year employment agreements ("Jurick Employment Agreements") with the Company and two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Emerson Radio (Hong Kong) and Emerson Radio International Ltd. (formerly Emerson Radio (B.V.I.) Ltd.) (hereinafter, collectively the "Companies"), providing for an aggregate annual compensation of $250,000, which was increased to $390,000 in May 1994 and to $490,000 effective April 1, 1995. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Jurick is entitled to an annual bonus upon recommendation by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the final approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Subject to certain conditions, each of the Jurick Employment Agreements grants to Mr. Jurick severance benefits, through expiration of the respective terms of each of such agreements, commensurate with Mr. Jurick's base salary, in the event that his employment with the Companies terminates due to permanent disability, without cause or as a result of constructive discharge (as defined therein). In the event that Mr. Jurick's employment with the Companies terminates due to termination for "cause", because Mr. Jurick unilaterally terminates the agreements or for reasons other than constructive discharge or permanent disability, Mr. Jurick shall only be entitled to base salary earned through the applicable date of termination. Similar provisions are set forth in each of the contracts described below. Eugene I. Davis, President of the Company, entered into a five-year employment agreement ("Davis Employment Agreement") with the Company, providing for an annual compensation of $360,000, which was increased to $450,000 effective April 1, 1995. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Davis is entitled to an annual bonus equal to an amount up to 30% of Mr. Davis' base salary, based upon attainment of objectives identified in the Company's five-year business plan adopted by the Board of Directors ("Business Plan"). Mr. Davis may also receive an additional annual performance bonus to be recommended by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the final approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Davis Employment Agreement, the Company granted to Mr. Davis an option to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock. Such option was cancelled pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization; however, the Company subsequently granted Mr. Davis options to purchase 600,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company has also agreed for the term of the Davis Employment Agreement and three years thereafter, to pay for and maintain legal malpractice insurance covering Mr. Davis for occurrences and actions taken by him at any time prior to or during the term of such agreement on behalf of the Company or its employees. The Company has also agreed to pay all sums, which may be deductible amounts, not otherwise paid by such insurer. Upon execution of the Davis Employment Agreement, the Company provided Mr. Davis with a one-time lump sum payment of $100,000, which figure is net of applicable taxes and withholdings. In connection with Mr. Davis' relocation to New Jersey, the Company assumed certain relocation expenses and associated tax gross-ups on Mr. Davis' behalf aggregating $239,915. See "Summary Compensation Table." John P. Walker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, entered into a three-year employment agreement with the Company providing for an annual compensation of $110,000, which was increased to $165,000 effective April 1, 1995 and increased to $210,000 effective April 1, 1996. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Walker is entitled to an annual bonus equal to an amount up to 30% of Mr. Walkers' base salary, upon attainment of objectives identified by the Executive Committee. Mr. Walker may also receive an additional annual performance bonus to be recommended by the Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, subject to the final approval of the Company's Board of Directors. If Messrs. Jurick, Davis and Walker were to be terminated due to permanent disability, without cause or as a result of constructive discharge, the estimated dollar amount to be paid after March 31, 1996 to each such individual, based on the terms of their respective contracts, would be $622,000, $571,000 and $210,000, respectively. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors of the Company who are employees do not receive compensation for serving on the Board. Non-employee Directors are paid $20,000 per annum in quarterly installments. The Chairmen of the Audit Committee and Compensation and Personnel Committee each receive an additional $10,000 per annum. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, each non-employee Director was granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock on October 7, 1994. On October 7, 1994, each Chairman was also granted options to purchase an additional 25,000 shares of Common Stock.

After full reimbursement to the Company of the initial advance, from time to time the Company shall pay, on a revolving basis, additional reasonable expenses, not to exceed $75,000 at any one time, incurred by the Settlement Agent (including those incurred in its capacity as Collateral Agent) and the Advisor. The Company shall be reimbursed for such further advances from the proceeds of the first sale of Settlement Shares following an advance of any portion of the $75,000. Additionally, to the extent not reimbursed from the sales of Settlement Shares as set forth herein, the Company shall be reimbursed for the expense incurred in connection with the registration of Settlement Shares from the first proceeds of sales of such Settlement Shares. See "Legal Proceedings." The law firm of Lowenstein, Sandler, Kohl, Fisher & Boylan, P.A., was retained as the Company's outside counsel following the settlement of a proxy contest conducted in 1992. Payments aggregating approximately $1,070,000 were made by the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994. The firm was retained by the Company as special corporate counsel during the Restructuring proceedings and received payment for services rendered and expenses incurred during such proceedings. In addition, the firm provides ongoing services for the Company. The firm received approximately $637,000 and $737,000 during Fiscal 1996 and the year ended March 31, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995"), respectively. A family member of Mr. Davis joined such law firm subsequent to its retention by the Company and served of counsel to such law firm. During Fiscal 1996, such family member became a member of another law firm and such law firm now serves as the Company's outside general counsel. The Company was billed approximately $95,000 for legal services during Fiscal 1996 by such law firm. In connection with the execution of his employment agreement with the Company, Eugene I. Davis, the Company's President, agreed to relocate his residence to the general locality of the Company's principal executive offices. To assist in such relocation, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1993 ("Fiscal 1993"), the Company provided to Mr. Davis an interest-free bridge loan of $120,000. The maturity date of Mr. Davis' loan has been extended and is due in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997. Mr. Pablo Bunger, the brother of Peter Bunger, a director of the Company, was the Managing Director of the Company's Spanish branch. Pursuant to a consulting arrangement, Mr. Pablo Bunger received compensation and reimbursement of expenses aggregating $28,000 and $118,000 in Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995, respectively. The Company has closed the Spanish branch and the consulting arrangement was terminated. The Company reorganized its Canadian operations in Fiscal 1996. In connection with such reorganization, Emerson's Canadian subsidiary has entered into a series of agreements with Tammy Venator, doing business as Venator Electronics Sales and Services, Ltd. ("Venator"). Ms. Venator is the daughter of Theo Heuthorst, former President of Emerson's Canadian subsidiary, and she was formerly the National Service Manager of such subsidiary. Effective April 1, 1995, Emerson's Canadian subsidiary entered into several three-year agreements with Venator providing for (i) Venator receiving returned products, (ii) Venator purchasing returned products on an "as-is" basis for refurbishing and resale by Venator, (iii) Venator processing warranty claims submitted by service centers authorized to engage in warranty service of Emerson products sold in Canada, (iv) Venator distributing parts to customers and service centers for Emerson products, which it will purchase from the Company's Canadian subsidiary at a premium over their costs, and (v) Venator maintaining an effective service center network to accommodate all customers of Emerson's Canadian subsidiary, maintaining a factory service center, and maintaining a parts distribution center and providing other after sales services. The Company was billed $37,569 for services provided with respect to the above-mentioned agreements during Fiscal 1996. In addition, the Company billed Venator approximately $269,000 for spare part purchases and returned product purchases over the same period. The Company was owed approximately $68,000 for these purchases as of March 31, 1996 and the Company owed Ventor approximately $2,000 for services provided as of March 31, 1996. Through these agreements, the Company has reduced its costs of operations in Canada, while maintaining its market presence in Canada. The Company believes that the terms on which it has entered into the agreements with Venator described above are no less favorable than could have been obtained from an unrelated third party. In Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995, the Company sold finished goods and spare parts to GSE for approximately $178,000 and $341,000, respectively, on terms no more favorable than those available to third parties. The Company was owed approximately $18,000 for these purchases as of March 31, 1996. In October 1994 and February 1995, the Company employed two individuals who were professional advisers to Mr. Jurick and certain entities with which Mr. Jurick is affiliated or associated. One individual was paid $38,587 and $52,885 by the Company for Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995, respectively, as well as receiving automobile benefits and related expenses in the amount of $1,256 and $3,027, respectively. The other individual was paid $41,716 and $6,856 by the Company in Fiscal 1996 and Fiscal 1995, respectively, as well as receiving automobile benefits in the amount of $897 and $1,295, respectively. The services of both individuals were terminated in Fiscal 1996. In addition to services rendered to the Company, each of the individuals, while employed by the Company devoted substantial amounts of time to services for Mr. Jurick and his associated or affiliated entities, and consequently, Mr. Jurick may be deemed to receive an indirect benefit from the payment by the Company of the salary and other expenses of these two individuals. Peter G. Bunger, a Director of the Company, was engaged as a consultant to two foreign subsidiaries of the Company. The agreements, effective as of October 1, 1994, provided for aggregate annual compensation of $140,000, had terms of two years and authorized reimbursement for reasonable travel and business expenses. Pursuant to the consulting agreements, Mr. Bunger received compensation and reimbursement of expenses aggregating $48,333 in Fiscal 1996. These agreements were terminated as of September 30, 1995. In Fiscal 1995, the Company paid Elision the sum of $34,275 for consulting services with respect to management information services. Elision owns 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Jurick indirectly owns a controlling interest in Elision. The Company has adopted a policy that all future affiliated transactions and loans will be made or entered into on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. In addition, all future affiliated transactions and loans, and any forgiveness of loans, must be approved by a majority of the independent outside members of the Company's Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transactions.
