issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan granted after [May 25,
1997] April

kind of shares of stock or other securities which are substituted for those
Shares or to which those Shares are adjusted pursuant to the Plan upon a Change
in Capitalization after [March 21, 1998] April 21, 2004) and the Corporation
shall reserve for the purposes of the Plan, out of its authorized but unissued
Shares or out of Shares held in the Corporations treasury, or partly out of

   4.2  Return of Shares.  Whenever any Shares subject to an Award are
resold or returned to the Corporation, or are forfeited for any reason pursuant
to the terms of the Plan, such Shares may again be the subject of Awards
hereunder.  4.3  Change in Capitalization.  In the event of a Change in Capitalization,
the Committee shall conclusively determine the appropriate adjustments, if any,
and shall make such appropriate adjustments, to the maximum number and class of
shares of stock with respect to which Awards may be granted under the
Plan.  If, by reason of a Change in
Capitalization, a Participant shall be entitled to new, additional or different
shares of stock or securities, such new, additional or different shares shall
thereupon be subject to all of the conditions and restrictions which were
applicable to the Shares pursuant to the Award prior to such Change in
Capitalization.  SECTION
5 - Restricted Stock  5.1  The Committee may grant Awards of
Restricted Stock which shall be evidenced by an Agreement between the
Corporation and the Participant.  Each
Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms and conditions as the
Committee may require and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing)
such Agreements shall require that an appropriate legend be placed on Share
certificates.  Such Agreements shall set
forth a Restricted Period of from two (2) to ten (10) years, as selected by the
Committee, for each Share of Restricted Stock granted pursuant thereto.  Any Share granted to a Participant may have
a different Restricted Period from any other Share.  Awards of Restricted Stock shall also be subject to the terms and
provisions set forth elsewhere in this Section 5.  5.2  Rights of Participant  (a)  Shares of
Restricted Stock granted pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the
name of the Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after the Award is
granted and the purchase price, if any, is paid by the Participant provided
that the Participant has executed an Agreement evidencing the Award, and Escrow
Agreement, appropriate blank stock powers and any other documents which the
Committee, in its absolute discretion, may require as a condition to the
issuance of such Shares.  If a
Participant shall fail to execute the Agreement evidencing an Award, an Escrow
Agreement or appropriate blank stock powers or shall fail to pay the purchase
price, if any, for the Restricted Stock, the Award shall be null and void.  Shares issued in connection with an Award
shall be deposited together with the stock powers with the Escrow Agent
designated by the Committee.  Except as
restricted by the terms of the Agreement, upon delivery of the Shares to the
escrow Agent, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote the shares and to
receive all dividends or other distributions paid or made with respect to the
shares.  (b)  If a
Participant receives rights or warrants with respect to any Shares which were
awarded to him as Restricted Stock, such rights or warrants or any Shares or
other securities he acquires by the exercise of such rights or warrants may be
held, exercised, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Participant free and
clear of the restrictions and obligations provided by this Plan.  5.3  Non-transferability.  Until the Restricted Period and any other
restrictions upon the Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall
have lapsed in the manner set forth in Section 5.4, such Shares shall not be
sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and shall not be pledged or
otherwise hypothecated, nor shall they be delivered to the Participant.  The Committee may also impose such other
restrictions and conditions on the Shares as it deems appropriate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Plan, the Committee may, in its discretion, authorize all or a portion of
any Restricted Stock Awards heretofore granted but not vested or hereafter to
be granted to permit a transfer, with or without value (i.e., a sale) by such
Participant to Family Members, provided that (i) the Agreement pursuant to
which such Awards are granted or an amendment permitting transferability of the
Award is approved by the  
   Committee, and expressly provides for transferability in a manner
consistent with this Section, and (ii) subsequent transfers of Restricted Stock
Awards are prohibited except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  As used herein, the term
Family Member means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law,
including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Participants
household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons
have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which
these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets, and any
other entity, including a family limited partnership or limited liability
company in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent
of the voting interests.  Following transfer, any such Awards shall continue to
be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately
prior to transfer.  Provisions in the Plan
and the Agreement applicable to an Award held by a Participant including upon
termination of such Participants employment for any reason (including death or
disability) shall be equally applicable to such Awards when held by a
transferee.  In any permitted transfer
for value, the transferee shall acknowledge in writing to the Company that the
shares to be received upon exercise of the Award will not be registered under
the federal securities laws and may not be resold except pursuant to an
applicable exemption.  The following
transactions shall not be considered transfers for value: (i) a transfer under
a domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights; and (ii) a
transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests
are owned by Family Members (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in
that entity.  5.4  Lapse of Restrictions.  (a)  Restrictions
upon Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall lapse at such time or
times and criteria as the Committee may determine; provided, however, that,
subject to Section 5.4(d), the restrictions upon such Shares shall lapse only
if the Participant on the date of such lapse is then and has continuously been
an employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary from the date the Award was
granted.  (b)  The
Restricted Period applicable to any Shares awarded to a Participant shall
expire in accordance with its terms. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Change in
Control, every Restricted Period which at that time is five years or less in
duration shall automatically expire.  (c)  In the
event of termination of Participants employment as a result of his or her
death, Retirement or Disability, the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may
determine that the Restricted Period and any other restrictions upon some or
all Shares of Restricted Stock awarded to the Participant shall thereupon
immediately lapse.  (d)  The Committee may also decide at any time
(whether before or up to sixty (60) days after the date of the death,
Retirement, Disability or termination of employment of a Participant) in its
absolute discretion and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate,
to remove or modify the restrictions upon Shares of Restricted Stock awarded hereunder.  5.5  Forfeit of Shares to Corporation.  Subject to Section 5.4(c) and (d), upon the
termination of employment of the Participant, all of such Shares with respect
to which restrictions have not lapsed shall be resold by the Participant to the
Corporation at the same price paid by the Participant for such Shares or shall
be forfeited and automatically transferred to and reacquired by the Corporation
at no cost to the Corporation if no purchase price had been paid for such
Shares.  5.6  Treatment of Dividends.  At the time of an Award of Shares of
Restricted Stock, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the
payment to the Participant of dividends, or a specified portion thereof,
declared or paid on such Shares by the Corporation shall be deferred until the
earlier to occur of (i) the lapsing of the restrictions imposed upon such
Shares, in which case such dividends shall be  
   paid over to the Participant, or (ii) the forfeiture of such shares
under Section 5.5 hereof, in which case such dividends shall be forfeited to
the Corporation.  In the event of any
deferral of dividends, such dividends shall be held by the Corporation for the
account of the Participant until the lapsing of restrictions upon the
shares.  In the event of such deferral,
interest shall be credited on the amount of the account from time to time, at a
rate per annum as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.  Payment of deferred dividends, together with
interest accrued thereon as aforesaid, shall be made upon the earlier to occur
of the events specified in (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence,
in the manner specified therein.  SECTION
6 - Exchange of Restricted Stock for Common Stock  When the restrictions imposed by Section 5 expire or
have been canceled with respect to one or more shares of Restricted Stock, the
Corporation shall notify the Participant and the Escrow Agent of same.  The Escrow Agent shall then return the
certificate covering the Restricted Shares to the Corporation and upon receipt
of such certificate the Corporation shall deliver to the Participant (or such
Participants legal representative, beneficiary or heir) a certificate for a
number of shares of Common Stock, without any legend or restrictions (except
those required by any federal or state securities laws), equivalent to the
number of shares of Restricted Stock for which restrictions have been cancelled
or have expired.  A new certificate
covering Restricted Shares previously awarded to the Participant which remain
restricted shall be issued to the Participant and held by the Escrow Agent and
the Agreement, as it relates to such shares, shall remain in effect.  SECTION
7 - Termination and Amendment of the Plan  7.1  The Plan shall terminate on December
12, [2005] 2010, and no Award may be granted thereafter.  The Board may sooner terminate or amend the
Plan at any time, and from time to time; provided, however, that, except as
otherwise provided herein, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by
the shareholders of the Corporation in accordance with applicable law and
regulations at an annual or special meeting held within twelve months before or
after the date of adoption of such amendment, if such amendment will:  (a)  increase
the number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan;  (b)  change the
class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan;  (c)  extend the
maximum period for granting or exercising Restricted Stock provided herein; or  (c)  otherwise
materially increase the benefits accruing to employees under the Plan  Except as otherwise provided herein, rights and
obligations under any Award granted before any amendment of the Plan shall not
be altered or impaired by such amendment, except with the consent of the
Participant.  SECTION
8 - Regulations and Other Approvals; Governing Law  8.1  Governing Law.  This Plan and the rights of all persons claiming hereunder shall
be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New
Jersey without giving effect to the choice of law principles thereof, except to
the extent that such law is preempted by federal law.  8.2  Other Applicable Laws.  The obligation of the Corporation to sell or
deliver Shares with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject
to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including all applicable federal
and state securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by
governmental agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the
Committee.  
   8.3  Rule 16b-3.  The Plan is intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act and the Committee shall interpret and administer the
provisions of the Plan or any Agreement in a manner consistent therewith.  Any provisions inconsistent with such Rule
shall be inoperative and shall not affect the validity of the Plan.  8.4  Registration of Shares, Etc.  Each Award is subject to the requirement
that, if at any time the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that
the listing, registration or qualification of shares issuable pursuant to the
Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law,
or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of Shares, no
Shares shall be issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration,
qualification, consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any
conditions as acceptable to the Committee.  8.5  Restrictions on Disposition.  In the event that the disposition of Shares
acquired by a Participant pursuant to the Plan is not covered by a then current
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is not
otherwise exempt from such registration, such Shares shall be restricted
against transfer to the extent required by the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or regulation thereunder, and the Committee may require any individual
receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of
such Shares, to represent to the Corporation in writing that the Shares
acquired by such individual are acquired for investment only and not with a
view to distribution.  SECTION
9 - Miscellaneous  9.1  Expenses. 
All expenses and costs incurred in connection with the operation of the
Plan shall be borne by the Corporation.  9.2  Non-Exclusivity of the Plan.  The adoption of the Plan by the Board shall
not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved
incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board
to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including,
without limitation, the granting of Shares otherwise than under the Plan.  9.3  Withholding of Taxes.  The Corporation shall have the right to
deduct from any distribution of cash to any Participant an amount equal to the
federal, state and local income taxes and other amounts required by law to be
withheld with respect to any Award. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a
Participant is entitled to receive Shares pursuant to an Award, the Corporation
shall have the right to require such Participant, prior to the delivery of such
Shares, to pay to the Corporation the amount of any federal, state or local
income taxes and other amounts which the Corporation is required by law to
withhold.
