                              W I T N E S S E T H:
                              - - - - - - - - - -

        1.  Employer hereby employs Employee, and Employee hereby accepts
employment, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

        2.  (a) The term ("Term") of the Agreement shall be the period
commencing on April l, 2008 and terminating March 3l, 2009.

            (b) In the event that Employee remains or continues in the employ of
Employer after the Term, such employment, in the absence of a further written
agreement, shall be on an at-will basis, terminable by either party hereto on
thirty (30) days' notice to the other and, upon the 30th day following such
notice the employment of Employee shall terminate.

            (c) Upon expiration of the Term of this Agreement, neither party
shall have any further obligations or liabilities to the other except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

        3.  Employee shall be employed in an executive capacity of Employer (and
such of its affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries as Employer shall designate).
Employer shall use its reasonable efforts to cause Employee to be elected and
continue to be elected an Executive Vice President of Employer during the Term
of this Agreement.  The precise services of Employee may be designated or
assigned from time to time at the direction of the Board of Directors, the
Chairman of the Board, the Vice-Chairman of the Board or President and Co-Chief
Executive Officer, and all of the services to be rendered hereunder by Employee
shall at all times be subject to the control, direction and




<PAGE>

supervision of the President and Co-Chief Executive Officer and the Board of
Directors of Employer, to which Employee does hereby agree to be bound.
Employee shall devote his entire time, attention and energies during usual
business hours (subject to Employer's policy with respect to holidays and
illnesses for comparable executives of Employer) to the business and affairs of
Employer, its affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries as Employer shall from time
to time direct.  Employee further agrees during the Term of this Agreement to
serve as an officer or director of Employer or of any affiliate or subsidiary of
Employer as Employer may request, and if Employee serves as such officer or a
director he will do so without additional compensation, other than director's
fees or honoraria, if any.

        During the Term of this Agreement and during any subsequent employment
of Employee by Employer, Employee shall use his best efforts, skills and
abilities in the performance of his services hereunder and to promote the
interests of Employer, its affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries.  Employee
shall not, during the Term and during any subsequent employment of Employee by
Employer, be engaged in any other business activity, whether or not such
business activity is pursued for gain, profit or other pecuniary advantage,
except for current real estate ventures disclosed to Employer concurrently with
the signing of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not be construed as
preventing Employee from investing his assets in such form or manner as will not
require any services on the part of Employee in the operation of the affairs of
the companies in which such investments are made, provided, however, that
Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly, be a director of or make any
investments in any company or companies which are engaged in businesses
competitive with those conducted by Employer or by any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates except which such investments are in stock of a company listed on a
national securities exchange, and such stock of Employee does not exceed one
percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of stock of such listed company.
Employee shall not at any time during or after the Term of this Agreement use
(except on behalf of Employer), divulge, furnish or make accessible to any third
person or

organization any confidential information concerning Employer or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates or the businesses of any of the foregoing including,
without limitation, confidential methods of operations and organization,
confidential sources of supply, identity of employees, customer lists and
confidential financial information.

        4.  (a) For all services rendered by Employee during the Term of this
Agreement, Employer shall pay Employee a salary at the rate of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($157,000) per annum during the period April l, 2008 to
September 30, 2008; and at the rate of ONE HUNDRED SIXTY-ONE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS ($161,500) per annum during the period October 1, 2008 to March
31, 2009.  Such salary shall be payable weekly, or monthly, or in accordance
with the payroll practices of Employer for its executives.  The Employee shall
also be entitled to all rights and benefits for which he shall be eligible under
any stock option plan, bonus, participation or extra compensation plans,
pensions, group insurance or other benefits which Employer presently provides,
or may provide for his and for its employees generally.  Such rights and
benefits currently include a performance bonus and sales override plan, the
terms of which are subject to revision by the Employer each year during the Term
of this Agreement.  The performance bonus and sales override target amount of
earnings shall be $45,000 for 2008 and $11,250 for the period January 1-March
31, 2009.  The maximum earnings under this plan shall not exceed two times the
target amount for any of the full calendar year 2008 and $11,250 for January
1-March 31, 2009.  This Agreement shall not be deemed abrogated or terminated if
Employer, in its discretion, shall determine to increase the compensation of
Employee for any period of time, or if the Employee shall accept such increase.

        All payments under this Agreement are in United States dollars unless
otherwise specified.

            (b) Employer may make appropriate deductions from the said payments
required to be made in this Section 4 to Employee to comply with all
governmental withholding requirements.

            (c) If, during the Term of this Agreement and if the Employee is
still in the employ of Employer, Employee shall be prevented from performing or
be unable to perform, or fail to perform, his duties by reason of illness or any
other incapacity for four (4) consecutive months (excluding normal vacation
time) during the Term hereof, Employer agrees to pay Employee thereafter during
the Term for the duration of such incapacity, but in no event less than ninety
(90) days, 40% of the base salary which Employee would otherwise have been
entitled to receive if not for the illness or other incapacity.

            (d) The Board upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee
of the Board shall consider no later than May 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively
(provided there is no delay in obtaining the financial statements as provided
below, but in no event later than 45 days following receipt thereof) the grant
of a bonus ("Bonus") to Employee based on Employee's performance for the
immediately preceding fiscal year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, based on
Employer's annual pre-tax consolidated earnings for the applicable fiscal year,
Employer shall pay Employee a Bonus at the rate of one-half of one percent (1/2
of 1%) of the annual pre-tax consolidated earnings for the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2008 and 2009 (including the period January 1-March 31, 2009 as
herewith provided in Section 12) only, in the event Employer's pre-tax
consolidated earnings for such year determined in accordance with Section 4(d)
exceeds $500,000, provided that this Bonus shall not exceed $40,000 for 2008,
and the Bonus, if any, for January 1-March 31, 2009 shall be 25% of the amount
for the year 2009, not to exceed $10,000).

        There shall be excluded from the calculation of pre-tax consolidated
earnings during the Term of this Agreement the amount by which (x) any item or
items of unusual or extraordinary gain in the aggregate exceeds 20% of the
Employer's net book value as at the end of the immediate preceding fiscal year
or (y) any item of unusual or extraordinary loss in the aggregate exceeds 20% of
the Employer's net book value as at


                                       4


<PAGE>

the end of the immediate preceding fiscal year, in each case in (x) and (y)
above as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and items of gain and loss shall not be netted against each other for purpose of
the above 20% calculation.

        Provided Employee is not in default of the Agreement, the Board may, in
any event, even if any of the aforesaid pre-tax consolidated earnings levels are
not exceeded, grant the Employee the aforesaid Bonus or any portion thereof for
such year based on his performance.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Employee
is not in the employ of Employer at the end of the aforesaid 2008 fiscal year or
March 31, 2009, no Bonus shall be paid for such fiscal year or part thereof as
to 2009.  In the event of Employee's death on or after January 1 of 2009 or
March 31, 2009 as to 2009, any Bonus to which he is otherwise entitled for the
prior fiscal year shall be paid to his surviving spouse widow if she shall
survive him or if she shall predecease him to his surviving issue per stirpes
and not per capita.

        Such pre-tax consolidated earnings shall be fixed and determined by the
independent certified public accountants regularly employed by Employer.  Such
independent certified public accountants, in ascertaining such pre-tax
consolidated earnings, shall apply all accounting practices and procedures
heretofore applied by Employer's independent certified public accountants in
arriving at such annual pre-tax consolidated earnings as disclosed in Employer's
annual statement for that year of profit and loss released to its stockholders.
The determination by such independent certified public accountants shall be
final, absolute and controlling upon the parties.  Payment of such amount, if
any is due, shall be made for each year by Employer to Employee within sixty
(60) days after which such accountant shall have furnished such statement to
Employer disclosing Employer's pre-tax consolidated earnings for each of the
years 2008 and 2009.  Employer undertakes to use reasonable efforts to cause
said accountants to prepare and furnish such statements within one hundred
thirty (130) days from the close


                                       5


<PAGE>

of each such fiscal year and to cause said independent certified public
accountants, concomitantly with delivery of such statement by accountants to it,
to deliver a copy of such statement to Employee.  The Employer shall not have
any liability to Employee arising out of any delays with respect to the
foregoing.

            (e) In the event Employee dies during the Term of this Agreement
while the Employee is still in the Employ of Employer, Employer shall pay to
Employee's surviving spouse or his surviving issue, as the case may be, for the
balance of the Term of the Agreement, annual death benefits payable weekly or in
accordance with Employer's payroll practices in an amount equal to 40% of
Employee's then annual base salary rate.

        5.  During the Term of this Agreement, Employer will reimburse Employee
for traveling or other out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred by
Employee with Employer's approval in furtherance of the businesses of Employer,
its affiliates, divisions or subsidiaries, upon presentation of such supporting
information as Employer may from time to time request.

        6.  During the Term of this Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to a
vacation during the usual vacation period of Employer in accordance with such
vacation schedules as Employer may prescribe.

        7.  Both parties recognize that the services to be rendered by Employee
pursuant to this Agreement are extraordinary and unique.  During the Term of
this Agreement, and during any subsequent employment of Employee by Employer,
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into the employ of or render
any services to any person, partnership, association or corporation engaged in a
business or businesses in any way, directly or indirectly, competitive to those
now or hereafter engaged in by Employer or by any of its subsidiaries during the
Term of this Agreement and during any subsequent employment of Employee by
Employer and Employee shall not engage in any such business, directly or
indirectly on his own account and, except as permitted by paragraph 3 of this
Agreement, Employee shall not become interested in any such


                                       6


<PAGE>

business, directly or indirectly, as an individual, partner, shareholder,
director, officer, principal, agent, employee, trustee, consultant, or in any
other relationship or capacity.  For a period of two (2) years following
termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall not directly or
indirectly (i) engage or otherwise be involved in the recruitment or employment
of any Employer employee or, (ii) solicit or render any service directly or
indirectly to any other person or entity with regard to soliciting any customer
of the Employer during the two (2) year period prior to termination of
employment with respect to products or services competitive with products or
services of Employer.  Employee shall at no time during or after employment
disclose to any person, other than Employer, or otherwise use any information of
or regarding Employer except on behalf of Employer, nor communicate, publish, or
otherwise transmit, in any manner whatsoever, untrue information or negative,
competitive, personal or other information or comments regarding Employer.  In
addition, Employee agrees that all lists, materials, books, files, reports,
correspondence, records and other documents and information ("Employer
Materials") used, prepared or made available to Employee, shall be and shall
remain the property of Employer.  Upon the termination of employment of Employee
or the expiration of this Agreement, whichever is earlier, all Employer
Materials shall be immediately returned to Trans-Lux Corporation, and Employee
shall not make or retain any copies thereof, nor disclose or otherwise use any
information relating to said Employer Materials to any other party.  As used
herein the term Employer shall include Employer, Employer's subsidiaries and
affiliates, and any individuals employed or formerly employed by any of them.
Employer shall be entitled, if it so elects, to institute and prosecute
proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, either in law or in equity,
to obtain damages for any breach of this Agreement, or to enjoin Employee from
any breach of this Agreement, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to
prevent Employer from pursuing such other remedies as Employer may elect to
invoke.  In addition to the obligations of the Employee contained in this
Agreement, Employee agrees to be bound by the provisions contained in Exhibit A
to this Agreement.

<PAGE>

        8.  In the event any provision of paragraph 7 of this Agreement shall be
held invalid or unenforceable by reason of the geographic or business scope or
the duration thereof, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to
such provision and shall not affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other
provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if the
geographic or business scope or the duration of such provision had been more
narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid or unenforceable.

        9.  The waiver by Employer of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by Employee shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
subsequent breach by Employee.

        10.  Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement
shall be sufficient if in writing and served personally or sent by United States
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or overnight courier
such as Federal Express or Airborne to his address as stated on Employer's
records, in the case of Employee, or to the office of Trans-Lux Corporation,
attention of the President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, at the address set
forth above, and upon the move in or about May 2008 and effective upon the move,
26 Pearl Street, Norwalk, Connecticut 06850, in the case of Employer, or such
other address as designated in writing by the parties.

        11.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of New York.

        12.  This instrument contains the entire agreement between the parties
and supersedes as of April 1, 2008 the Agreement between Employer and Employee
dated as of April 1, 2005, as amended except any amounts which accrued as of
such date and are unpaid, but excluding the Bonus for the period January 1-March
31, 2008 which is covered by Section 4(d) hereof.  It may not be changed,
modified, extended or renewed orally except by an agreement in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification,
discharge or extension is sought.
