and the need for the Company to have the  Executive  continue to perform his job
functions,  the  Executive  is willing to  continue to serve as  Executive  Vice

subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company.  The Executive hereby represents and
warrants that he has the legal  capacity to execute and perform this  Agreement,

          3. COMPENSATION

          For all services  rendered by the  Executive in any capacity  required

Company, but in no event less frequently than monthly.

          (b) Bonus. The Executive may also receive an annual  performance bonus

          (c) Additional  Benefits.  Except as modified by this  Agreement,  the
Executive  shall be  entitled to  participate  in all  compensation  or employee
benefit  plans  or  programs,  and to  receive  all  benefits,  perquisites  and
emoluments,  for which any salaried  employees of the Company are eligible under
any plan or program now or hereafter  established  and maintained by the Company
for senior officers,  to the fullest extent  permissible under the general terms

          The Company shall pay or reimburse  the  Executive for all  reasonable

including, without limitation, satisfaction of continuing professional education
requirements.

          5. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.

          (a)  Certain  Terminations.  In the event the  Executive's  employment
hereunder  terminates  due to  either  Permanent  Disability,  a  Without  Cause
Termination  or a  Constructive  Discharge,  the Company  shall,  as  liquidated
damages or  severance  pay,  or both,  continue,  subject to the  provisions  of
Section 6 below, to pay the Executive's  Base Salary as in effect at the time of
such  termination as such payments would otherwise  become due and payable until
the expiration of the Term (the  "Severance  Period") and the other benefits and
qualified  stock options  provided  hereunder shall continue to vest pursuant to
the terms hereof  during the  Severance  Period,  provided,  that in the case of
Permanent  Disability,  such payments  shall be offset by any amounts  otherwise
paid to the Executive under the Company's disability program generally available
to other employees. In addition, earned but unpaid Base Salary as of the date of
termination  of  employment  shall be  payable in full.  Group  hospitalization,
health,  dental care, life or other insurance,  travel or accident insurance and
disability insurance shall continue through the end of the Severance Period.

          (b) Other Terminations.  In the event that the Executive's  employment
hereunder   terminates  due  to  a  Termination   for  Cause  or  the  Executive
unilaterally  severs the employment  relationship or terminates  employment with
the  Company  for  reason  other  than a  Constructive  Discharge  or  Permanent
Disability,  earned  but unpaid  Base  Salary as of the date of  termination  of
employment  shall be payable in full.  However,  no other payments of any nature
whatsoever, including unearned Base Salary, shall be made, or benefits provided,
by the Company under this Agreement except benefits vested and payable under any
retirement  plan and benefits that have already become vested under the terms of
employee  benefit  programs  maintained by the Company or its affiliates for its
employees.

          (c) Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement,  the following terms
have the following meanings:

               (i) The term "Termination for Cause" means, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law, (x) a termination of the Executive's  employment by
the Company  because the  Executive has breached or failed to perform his duties
under this  Agreement,  applicable law or the by-laws of the Company,  including
the  unreasonable  neglect or refusal to perform duties assigned by the Board or
Executive  Committee,  (y) abuse of office or malfeasance  by Executive,  or (z)
conviction of the Executive of a felony which the Board  reasonably  deems to be
an "abuse of office" or a crime of moral turpitude.  (ii) The term "Constructive
Discharge"  means a termination of the  Executive's  employment by the Executive
due to a failure of the Company or its  successors  without the prior consent of
the Executive to fulfill the  obligations  under this  Agreement in any material
respect.  (iii) The term "Without Cause  Termination"  means  termination of the
Executive's  employment  by the  Company,  upon 30 days  written  notice  to the
Executive,  other than due to (v)  Permanent  Disability,  (x)  retirement,  (y)
expiration of the Term, or (z) Termination  for Cause.  (iv) The term "Permanent
Disability" means the inability of the Executive, as determined by the Board and
confirmed  by  competent  medical  evidence,  to  work  for a  period  of  three
continuous  full  calendar  months  or  90   non-consecutive   days  during  any
twenty-four  consecutive  calendar months due to illness or injury of a physical
or mental nature.  To determine  issues of disability,  the Executive  agrees to

acceptable to the Company and the Executive.

under  this  Agreement  all  Federal,  state,  city or  other  taxes as shall be

                Parsippany, New Jersey  07054
                Attn:  Chief Executive Officer


         (b)    To the Executive:

or such other address as either party shall have previously specified in writing
to the other.

          10. RIGHTS TO PAYMENTS.

          Executive shall not under any  circumstances  have any option or right
to require  payments  hereunder  otherwise than in accordance  with the terms of
this  Agreement.  Except as required by law, no right to receive  payments under
this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation,  commutation, alienation, sale,
assignment,   encumbrance,   charge,  pledge,  hypothecation  or  to  execution,
attachment,  levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any
attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void
and of no effect;  provided,  however,  that  nothing  in this  Section 10 shall
preclude the  assumption  of such rights by executors,  administrators  or other
legal  representatives  of the  Executive or his estate and their  assigning any
rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto.

          11. SOURCE OF PAYMENT.

          All payments  provided for under this Agreement  shall be paid in cash
from the general  funds of the  Company.  The  Company  shall not be required to
establish a special or separate  fund or other  segregation  of assets to assure
such  payments,  and, if the  Company  shall make any  investments  to aid it in
meeting its obligations  hereunder,  the Executive shall have no right, title or
interest  whatever  in or to any such  investments  except as may  otherwise  be
expressly   provided  in  a  separate  written   instrument   relating  to  such
investments.  Nothing contained in this Agreement,  and no action taken pursuant
to its  provisions,  shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind,
or a fiduciary relationship,  between the Company and the Executive or any other
person.  To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from
the Company hereunder,  such right,  without prejudice to rights which employees
may have,  shall be no greater  than the right of an  unsecured  creditor of the
Company.

          12. BINDING AGREEMENT.

          Expect as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company, its successors and
assigns. This Agreement,  as it relates to the Executive, is a personal contract
and the  rights  and  interests  of the  Executive  hereunder  may not be  sold,
transferred,  assigned,  pledged or  hypothecated  except as expressly  provided
herein.

          13. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

          The validity,  interpretation,  performance,  and  enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey. All disputes
between the parties concerning this Agreement will be resolved under the laws of
the State of New Jersey,  U.S.A.,  excluding  the  conflicts of laws  provisions
thereof,  in the English  language,  and the courts of New Jersey will have sole
and exclusive  jurisdiction over the parties in any such dispute and venue shall
lie  exclusively  in  Morris  County,  New  Jersey.  However,  it  is  expressly
understood  that this Section  shall not preclude  the  Company's  right to make
application for, and seek enforcement of,  injunctive relief in any court having
jurisdiction. Executive acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for
a breach of this  Agreement,  or any  warranty,  representation  or covenant set
forth, and monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy.  Accordingly,  the
Company shall be entitled to any equitable remedies available including, but not
limited  to,  an  immediate  temporary   restraining  order  and/or  preliminary
injunction, without bond or security, and such other further relief as any court
with jurisdiction may deem just and proper.

          14. COUNTERPARTS.

          This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,  each of
which when executed  shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together
shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

          IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the  Company  has caused  this  Agreement  to be
executed  by its duly  authorized  officer  and the  Executive  has signed  this
Agreement, all as of the first date above written.
