any reason prior to August 19, 1999, the Company may elect to repurchase all or
any portion of the Company Common Stock originally issued to Employee (whether
held by Employee or any person or entity to whom DCI Common Stock or DCI Options
originally issued, or granted, to Employee were transferred prior to the
Closing) from Employee or any subsequent holder thereof at a cash price per
share equal to the Fair Market Value of such Company Common Stock as of the
Termination Date; provided, however, that if Employee's employment is terminated
by the Company for Cause, (i) the cash price per share of Option Stock shall be
the lesser of the Fair Market Value of such Option Stock as of the Termination
Date and the exercise price per share of Option Stock of the option which was
exercised to acquire such Option Stock and (ii) the cash price per share of
Company Common Stock that is not Option Stock shall be the Fair Market Value of
such Company Common Stock as of the Termination Date); it being understood and
agreed that the "exercise price" per share of Option Stock issued at Closing
shall be deemed to be the applicable exercise price per share of Company Common
Stock set forth on Schedule 1.
For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) "Option Stock" shall mean Company Common Stock issued (A) at
------------
Closing in respect of DCI Common Stock issued upon exercise of a DCI Option
originally granted on or after August 20, 1998 or (B) upon exercise of a
Replacement Option granted hereunder in respect of a DCI Option originally
granted on or after August 20, 1998; and
(ii) "Fair Market Value" shall mean, as of any date, the closing sales
-----------------
price of the Company Common Stock on the principal national securities
exchange on which the Company Common Stock is listed at the time or, if the
Company Common Stock is not so listed, the sales price of the Company
Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market System as of 4:00
P.M. (New York time) on such date, in either case averaged over a period of
21 trading days consisting of the day as of which Fair Market Value is
being determined and the 20 consecutive trading days prior to such day. If
at any time the Company Common Stock is not listed on any national
securities exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ National Market System, Fair
Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or
a duly authorized committee thereof. In the event that Employee objects to
the Board of Directors' determination of Fair Market Value within 20 days
after written notice thereof, a mutually acceptable valuation firm shall be
engaged to determine Fair Market Value. The determination of such firm
shall be final and binding on the Company and Employee, and the fees and
expenses of such firm shall be borne 75% by the Company and 25% by
Employee.
(2) Exercise. The Company may exercise its option to purchase Company
--------
Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.7(a) by delivery to Employee of a written
notice specifying the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be repurchased
(i) within
-6-
60 days after the Termination Date and (ii) if applicable, thereafter from time
to time within 60 days after the Employee, or any transferee, exercises a
Replacement Option (or any option granted in replacement thereof). Employee and
the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to consummate any
repurchase of securities pursuant to this Section 6.7 not later than 45 days
following delivery of such written notice to Employee.
(3) Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 6.7, "Company Common
------------
Stock" shall be deemed to include any proceeds of Company Common Stock; it being
understood and agreed that the Company's right set forth in this Section 6.7 may
only be exercised once.
6.8 Stockholders Agreement. Employee hereby agrees to be a party to the
----------------------
Stockholders Agreement among the Company and its equity holders dated as of
October 28, 1997 (as amended from time to time, the "Stockholders Agreement") as
----------------------
a "Manager," and the Company Common Stock, Replacement Options, $61 Options and
Anti-Dilution Options, if any, originally issued or granted to Employee (whether
held by Employee or any person or entity to whom DCI Common Stock or DCI Options
originally issued, or granted, to Employee were transferred prior to the
Closing) shall be "Management Stock" thereunder. The Stockholders Agreement
shall terminate according to its terms and not as a result of any termination of
this Agreement.
6.9 Anti-Dilution Provisions.
------------------------
(1) In the event the Company raises additional capital through one or
more equity issuances, or in the event of the conversion of convertible
securities, at any time after the Closing Date other than through (i) the
exercise of securities issued and outstanding on the Closing Date or (ii)
through an initial public offering of the Company's Common Stock (a "Dilutive
Event"), Employee's 2.0609% equity interest will be protected through each
issuance as follows: Each time a Dilutive Event is consummated, Employee shall
be entitled to participate in the purchase of newly issued equity securities on
the same basis as the other investors and at the same price as new investors
participating in such Dilutive Event in order to maintain Employee's ownership
of 2.0609% of the fully diluted equity of the Company. If Employee elects not to
participate in the purchase of newly issued equity securities on the same basis
as other investors, the Company shall issue stock options to Employee with an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant (each such date, a "Grant Date") in order to maintain his stock ownership
percentage at not less than 75% of the percentage Employee held prior to such
Dilutive Event (the "Anti-Dilution Options"). The anti-dilution right set forth
in this Section 6.9(a) shall expire upon a Change of Control, an initial public
offering of the Company's common stock (such offering, an "IPO"), or Employee's
termination of employment with the Company. If Anti-Dilution Options are granted
under this Section 6.9, the number of Anti-Dilution Options which shall be
immediately vested and exercisable will be equal to the total number of Anti-
Dilution Options times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole
calendar months which shall
-7-
have elapsed between November 1, 1997 and the Grant Date and the denominator of
which is 36. Any Anti-Dilution Options which shall not be vested and exercisable
on the Grant Date shall vest in equal monthly installments beginning on the last
day of the month during which the Grant Date occurs and ending on September 30,
2000. The Anti-Dilution Options, if any, shall also subject to the terms set
forth on Exhibit A hereto.
(2) Employee hereby waives any rights he may have under Section 7 of
the Stockholders Agreement (Preemptive Right) for so long as the provisions of
this Section 6.9 are effective.

the party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a party of any breach hereof for
default in payment of any amount due hereunder or default in the performance
hereof shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other default or
succeeding breach or default.
9.9 No Waiver. No failure or delay of any party to enforce any of the
---------
provisions hereof shall be construed to be a waiver of the right of such party
thereafter to enforce such provisions.

---------------
interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover, as an element of the costs of suit or arbitration and not as damages,
reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court (including without
limitation, costs, expenses and fees on any appeal). The prevailing party shall
be the party entitled to recover its costs of suit or arbitration, regardless of
whether such suit or arbitration proceeds to final judgment. A party not

No sum for attorneys' fees shall be counted in calculating the amount of a
judgment for purposes of determining if a party is entitled to recover costs or
attorneys' fees.

Exhibit A
---------
The Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any,
which are referenced in the attached Agreement have been issued under the
Company's Dynamic Circuits 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") (a copy of which
has been provided to Employee) as provided below. Capitalized terms used and
not defined herein or in the attached Agreement have the meanings set forth in
the Plan.
1. OPTION TERMS.
1. REPLACEMENT OPTIONS, $61 OPTIONS AND ANTI-DILUTION OPTIONS. The
Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, will
expire at the close of business on August 19, 2006 (the "Expiration Date"),
subject to earlier expiration in connection with the termination of your
employment to the extent set forth in the Agreement. Neither the
Replacement Options, the $61 Options nor the Anti-Dilution Options, if any,
are intended to be "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section
442 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
2. EXERCISABILITY/VESTING.
1. VESTING. The Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution
Options, if any, will be exercisable only to the extent they have
vested.
2. ACCELERATION OF VESTING. In the event of a Change of Control or
the IPO (as defined in the Agreement) (A) during the term of your
employment with the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or (B)
at a time when the Unvested Replacement Options, the Unvested $61
Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, are vesting pursuant
to the terms of Section 8.5(b) or 8.6(b), the Replacement
Options, the $61 Options, the Anti-Dilution Options, if any, and
the Deferred Payments will automatically become 100% vested. In
connection with any Change of Control or IPO, the Company may
provide on not less than 20 days' notice to you that any portion
of the Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution
Options, if any, that have not been exercised prior to or in
connection with the Change of Control will be forfeited. In lieu
of requiring such exercise, the Company may provide for the
cancellation of the Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-
Dilution Options, if any, in exchange for a payment equal to the
excess (if any) of the consideration per share of Company Common
Stock receivable in connection with such Change of Control over
the exercise price of the
Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if
any, respectively.
3. TERMINATION OF OPTION. In no event shall any part of the Replacement
Options, $61 Options or the Anti- Dilution Options be exercisable after the
Expiration Date set forth in paragraph 1(a).
2. PROCEDURE FOR EXERCISE. You may exercise all or any portion of the
Replacement Options, $61 Options or Anti-Dilution Options, if any, to the
extent permitted hereby, at any time and from time to time by delivering
written notice to the Company (to the attention of the Company's Secretary)
accompanied by payment in full of an amount equal to the product of (i) the
Exercise Price of the subject option multiplied by (ii) the number of
shares of Option Stock to be acquired (such date of delivery the "Exercise
Date"). The Company may delay effectiveness of any exercise of the
Replacement Options, $61 Options or Anti-Dilution Options, if any, for such
period of time as may be necessary to comply with any legal or contractual
provisions to which it may be subject relating to the issuance of its
securities; provided, however, that no such delay shall affect your right
to purchase the shares of Option Stock, and the Exercise Date shall be
deemed the date of your acquisition of the shares of Option Stock for all
corporate and tax purposes regardless of such delay. As a condition to any
exercise of the Replacement Options, $61 Options or Anti-Dilution Options,
if any, you will permit the Company to deliver to you all financial and
other information regarding the Company necessary to enable you to make an
informed investment decision, and you will make all customary investment
representations which the Company requires.
3. SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. You represent that when you exercise the
Replacement Options, $61 Options or Anti-Dilution Options, if any, you will
be purchasing the shares of Option Stock for your own account and not on
behalf of others. You may not sell, transfer or dispose of any Company
Common Stock issued pursuant to the Replacement Options, $61 Options or
Anti-Dilution Options, if any, (except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933) without first
delivering to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to
the Company that registration under the Securities Act or any applicable
state securities laws is not required in connection with such transfer.
You further understand that the certificates for any Company Common Stock
you purchase will bear such legends as the Company deems necessary or
desirable in connection with the Securities Act or other rules, regulations
or laws.
4. OPTION NOT TRANSFERABLE. The Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-
Dilution Options, if any, are personal to you and are not transferable by
you other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During
your lifetime only you (or your guardian or legal representative) may
exercise the Replacement Options, $61 Options
and Anti-Dilution Options, if any. In the event of your death, the
Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, may be
exercised only by the executor or administrator of your estate to he person
or persons to whom your rights under the Replacement Options, $61 Options
and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, shall pass by will or the laws of
intestate succession.
5. CONFORMITY WITH PLAN. The Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-
Dilution Options, if any, are intended to conform in all respects with, and
are subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Inconsistencies between the terms of the
Agreement and this Exhibit, on the one hand, and the Plan, on the other
hand, shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. By
executing the Agreement, you acknowledge your receipt of this Exhibit A and
the Plan and agree to be bound by all of the terms contained herein and
therein.
6. RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS. Nothing in this Exhibit A shall interfere with or
limit in any way the right of the Company and/or its subsidiaries to
terminate your employment in accordance with the Agreement or confer upon
you any right not set forth in the Agreement to continue in the employ of
the Company and/or its subsidiaries for any period of time or to continue
to receive your current (or other) rate of compensation. Nothing in this
Exhibit A shall confer upon you any right to be selected to receive
additional options under the Plan or otherwise.
7. WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company may, if necessary or desirable, withhold
from any amounts due and payable by the Company to you (or secure payment
from you in lieu of withholding) the amount of any withholding or other tax
due from the Company with respect to the issuance or exercise of the
Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, and the
Company may defer such issuance or exercise unless indemnified by you to
its satisfaction against the payment of any such amount. To the extent
permitted by law, such withholding may be effected through the delivery by
you of shares of Company Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value as of the
Exercise Date.
8. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock
dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the shares of
Common Stock, the Company may, in order to prevent the dilution or
enlargement of rights under the Replacement Options, $61 Options or Anti-
Dilution Options, if any, make such adjustments in the number and type of
shares authorized by the Plan, the number and type of shares covered by the
Replacement Options, $61 Options and Anti-Dilution Options, if any, and the
respective Exercise Prices specified herein as may be determined to be
appropriate and equitable.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
PARTICIPANT:
COMPANY : DETAILS HOLDINGS CORP.
SECURITY : COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT :
DATE :
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the
undersigned Option Holder represents to Details the following:
(a) Option Holder current residence is as set forth in the signature
page hereto.
(b) Option Holder is aware of Details' business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about Details to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Option Holder is
acquiring the Shares for investment for Option Holder's own account only and not
with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
(c) Option Holder acknowledges and understands that the Shares
constitute "restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been
registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption
therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide
nature of Option Holder's investment intent as expressed herein. Option Holder
further understands that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Option Holder further acknowledges and understands
that Details is under no obligation to register the Shares except as set forth
in the Details Holdings Corp. Stockholders Agreement dated as of October 28,
1998, as amended from time to time. Option Holder understands that the
certificate evidencing the Shares will be imprinted with a legend which
prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are registered or such
registration is not required in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to Details.
(d) Option Holder is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and
Rule 144, each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit
limited public resale of "restricted securities" acquired, directly or
indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the
satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides that if the issuer
qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the Option to Option
Holder, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
In the event that Details becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"),
ninety (90) days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off
agreement may require) the Shares exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject
to the satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144,
including: (1) the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited
"broker's transaction" or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said
term is defined under the Exchange Act); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2)
the availability of certain public information about Details, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144,
if applicable.
In the event that Details does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of grant of the Option, then the Shares may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Shares were sold
by Details or the date the Shares were sold by an affiliate of Details, within
the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the Securities by an
affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the Securities less than
two years, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (1), (2),
(3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.
(e) Option Holder further understands that in the event all of the
applicable requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under
the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A under the Securities Act, or
some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding
the fact that Rules 144 and 701 are not exclusive, the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell
private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise
than pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in
establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or
sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in
such transactions do so at their own risk. Option Holder understands that no
assurances can be given that any such other registration exemption will be
available in such event.
