following the First Payment Date and 50% of the Retention Payment no later than
thirty (30) calendar days following the Second Payment Date. Notwithstanding the

suspension or termination shall give

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Company the right to recover any amount paid to a Participant prior to the
date of such amendment or, subject to Section 8(n) hereof, adversely affect the
rights of any Participant under any Retention Agreement. Unless terminated
sooner by the Board, the Plan shall continue in full force and effect until
termination of the Plan pursuant to this Section 7.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Nonalienation of Benefits.    None of the payments, benefits or rights of any
Participant shall be subject to any claim of any creditor of any Participant,
and, in particular, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all such payments,
benefits and rights shall be free from attachment, garnishment (if permitted
under applicable law), trustee's process, or any other legal or equitable
process available to any creditor of such Participant. No Participant shall have
the right to alienate, anticipate, commute, plead, encumber or assign any of the
benefits or payments that he may expect to receive, contingently or otherwise,
under this Plan, except that each Participant shall be entitled to designate a
beneficiary to whom Retention Payments shall be paid in the event of the
Participant's death.

(b)Notices.    All notices and other communications required hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be delivered personally or mailed by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight express courier
service. In the case of the Participant, mailed notices shall be addressed to
him or her at the home address which he or she most recently communicated to the
Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be
addressed to Corporate Human Resources, 9 Roszel Road (1st Floor), Princeton,
N.J. 08540.

(c)Successors.    Any successor to the Company shall assume the obligations
under this Plan and expressly agree to perform the obligations under this Plan.

(d)Effect on Other Benefits.    Amounts payable under the Plan shall not be
treated as compensation for purposes of computing or determining any benefit
under any pension, savings, severance, redundancy, bonus/incentive, insurance,
or other employee compensation or benefit plan, payment or obligation of the
Company or any Affiliate. A Participant's Retention Payment shall be reduced by
any other retention or similar payments from the Company or an Affiliate
received or to be received by the Participant, but shall not be offset by
incentive, severance or other similar benefits received or to be received by the
Participant.

(e)No Contract of Employment.    Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any
modification thereof, nor entering into any Retention Agreement, nor the
creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be
construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be
retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants shall remain
subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.

(f)Severability of Provisions.    If any provision of this Plan shall be held
invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan
shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.

(g)Heirs, Assigns, and Personal Representatives.    This Plan shall be binding
upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the
parties, including each Participant, present and future.

(h)Headings and Captions.    The headings and captions herein are provided for
reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and
shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(i)Gender and Number.    Where the context admits, words in any gender shall
include any other gender, and, except where otherwise clearly indicated by
context, the singular shall include the plural, and vice-versa.

(j)Unfunded Plan.    The Plan shall not be funded. No Participant shall have any
right to, or interest in, any assets of the Company that may be applied by the
Company to the payment of Retention Payments. Payments of Retention Payments to
Participants shall be made from the general assets of the Company, in such
manner as the Plan Manager shall determine.

(k)Payments to Incompetent Persons.    Any benefit payable to or for the benefit
of a minor, an incompetent person or other person incapable of receipting
therefor shall be deemed paid when paid to such person's guardian or to the
party providing or reasonably appearing to provide for the care of such person,
and such payment shall fully discharge the Company, and all other parties with
respect thereto.

(l)Lost Payees.    A benefit shall be deemed forfeited if the Company is unable
to locate a Participant to whom a Retention Payment is due. Such Retention
Payment shall be reinstated if application is made by the Participant for the
forfeited Retention Payment while this Plan is in operation.

(m)Controlling Law.    This Plan shall be construed and enforced according to
the laws of the State of New York to the extent not superseded by Federal law.

(n)Code Section 409A.    The Plan and the Retention Agreements are not intended
to constitute a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" within the meaning of
Code Section 409A, but rather are intended to be exempt from the application of
Code Section 409A. To the extent that the Plan and/or Retention Agreements are
nevertheless deemed to be subject to Code Section 409A, the Plan and Retention
Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A and
Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance
that may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan or any Retention Agreement to the contrary, in the event
that the Plan Manager determines that any Retention Payment may be or become
subject to Code Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to the Plan
and the affected Retention Agreement (without Participant consent) or adopt
other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures
with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Plan Manager
determines are necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and any Retention
Agreement from the application of Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended
tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Retention Payment, or
(ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
