      WHEREAS, the Corporation and Selinger are parties to an Employment
Agreement dated as of July 8, 1981, as amended on June 19, 1991 (the "Employment
Agreement");

      WHEREAS, the Corporation and Selinger have agreed to amend and modify
certain terms and provisions of the Employment Agreement;

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend and modify the
Employment Agreement as follows:

            1. The term of the Employment Agreement, which is due to expire on
July 8, 1996, shall be extended for an additional five (5) year period ending
July 8, 2001 (the "New Term").

            2. Effective as of January 1, 1997 (the "Effective Date") the
Corporation shall pay Selinger an annual salary during the 1997 calendar year
(the "Base Year") of $300, 000 (the "New Base Salary"). The annual salary during
each year of the New Term following the Base Year shall be such amount as the
Corporation and Selinger shall agree upon and shall not be less than the New

New Term by an amount which is determined by multiplying the New Base Salary by
the percentage increase, if any, of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban
Workers (New York - Northeastern New Jersey) (1967=100), issued by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (the "Index") for such
subsequent year over the Index for the Base Year. The New Base Salary shall be
payable in equal, or as nearly equal as may be practicable, installments not
less frequently than semimonthly. The Employment Agreement, as amended, shall
not be deemed abrogated or terminated if the Corporation, in its discretion
shall determine to increase the compensation of Selinger for any period of time,
or if Selinger shall accept such increase, but nothing shall be deemed to
obligate the Corporation to make such increase.

            3. In all other respects, all of the terms and provisions of the
Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during the New Term.
