personal representative all salary and other compensation due Executive through

<PAGE>

willful and continued failure to perform the requirements of his duties
hereunder or as directed by the Company's president or its board of directors

of Company which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged that
Executive has not substantially performed his duties, (b) Executive's dishonesty
in the performance of his duties hereunder, (c) an act or acts on Executive's

Code of 1986 ("Code"), and such payments will be subject to the excise tax

amended ("Code"), Company shall pay Executive an amount ("Excise Gross Up
Payment") that covers all Excise Taxes incurred or to be incurred by Executive
because of any such payment or benefit and all federal and state income taxes

Executive in the same position that he would have been in had

                                       8

<PAGE>

no such payment or benefit been subject to the Excise Tax. The Excise Tax Gross
Up Payment (or portion thereof) shall be made upon the earlier of the imposition
of any Excise Tax upon Executive or his payment of any Excise Tax.

employment for any reason other than Company's termination due to his material
default, as described in paragraph 11, all stock options granted to him by
Company (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) whether granted under and pursuant to a
plan or otherwise, shall become immediately exercisable to the extent not
already exercisable and shall remain exercisable until their expiration date.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the

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

     8.1 Death. If the Recipient dies, his personal representative and/or
beneficiary shall have the right (but not later than the Option Expiration Date)

Recipient's death.

provided below in this Section 8.2, the Option shall not be transferable by the
Recipient otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and,

the Recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient, during his
lifetime, may transfer for no consideration the Option to members of his
immediate family or a trust for the benefit of him and/or members of his
immediate family subject to all of the provisions applicable to the Option prior
to its transfer. In addition, the Recipient may file with the Company a written
designation of a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise, in the event of death
of the Recipient, the Option, subject to all of the provisions of this Section
8. The Recipient may from time to time revoke or change any such designation of
beneficiary; provided, however, that if the Company shall be in doubt as to the
right of any such beneficiary to exercise the Option, the Company may determine
to recognize only an exercise by the personal representative of the estate of
the Recipient, in which case the Company shall not be under any further
liability to anyone.

9.   Withholding
     -----------

     The Company or any affiliate that employs the Recipient shall have the
right to deduct any sums that federal, state or local tax law requires to be
withheld with respect to the exercise of the Option or as otherwise may be
required by such laws. The Company or any such affiliate may require as a
condition to issuing Stock upon the exercise of the Option that the Recipient or
other person exercising the Option pay any sum that federal, state or local tax
law requires to be withheld with respect to such exercise. In the alternative,
the Recipient or other person exercising the Option, may elect to pay such sums
to the Company or the affiliate by delivering written notice of that election to
the Company's corporate headquarters at 70 Lake Drive, Hightstown, NJ 08520,
prior to or concurrently with exercise. There is no obligation that the
Recipient be advised of the existence of the tax or the amount which will be so
required to be withheld.

10.  Changes in Capital Structure
     ----------------------------

in Stock, or of there shall be a Stock split, spin-off, split-up, spin-out,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, reorganization, combination or exchange
of shares, the maximum aggregate number of shares with respect to which the
Option may be exercised hereunder and the number and the Option price of the
shares of Stock with respect to which the Option has been granted hereunder,
shall be proportionately adjusted by the Company if, and to the extent,

                                                                       ---------

For purposes of this Agreement, a Change in Control shall be deemed to occur:

          (a) an acquisition of any common stock ("common stock") or other
voting securities of Company entitled to vote generally for the election of
directors (the "voting securities") by any "person" or "group" (as each such
term is used for purposes of section 13(d) or 14(d) of the exchange act),
immediately after which such person or group, as the case may be, has
"beneficial ownership" (within the meaning of rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
exchange act) of more than 20% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or
the combined voting power of Company's then outstanding voting securities;
provided, however, that in determining whether a change of control has occurred,
shares of common stock or voting securities that are acquired in a non-control
acquisition (as defined below) shall not constitute an acquisition which would
cause a change of control. A "non-control acquisition" shall mean an acquisition
by (i) Company, (ii) any corporation which is considered a subsidiary
corporation of Company under section 424(f) of the internal revenue code of
1986, as amended ("subsidiary") or (iii) any employee benefit plan maintained by
Company or any subsidiary, including a trust forming part of any such plan (an
"employee benefit plan");

          (b) there is a change of Company's board of directors ("board") such
that, during any 2-year period, individuals who, at the beginning of the 2-year
period, constitute the board (the "incumbent board"), cease for any reason to
constitute at least 50% of the members of the board; provided, however, that (i)
if the election or nomination for election by company's shareholders of any new
director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the incumbent board,
such new director shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be a member of the
incumbent board; and (ii) no individual shall be deemed to be a member of the
incumbent board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of
either an actual or threatened "election contest" (as described in rule 14a-11
promulgated under the exchange act) or other actual or threatened solicitation
of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person or group other than the board
(a "proxy contest") including by reason of any agreement intended to avoid or
settle any election contest or proxy contest;

          (c) The consummation of:

                    (i) a merger, consolidation or reorganization involving
          Company or any subsidiary, unless the merger, consolidation or
          reorganization is a non-control transaction. A "non-control
          transaction" shall mean a merger, consolidation or reorganization of
          Company or any subsidiary where:

                              (A) the shareholders of Company immediately prior
                    to the merger, consolidation or reorganization own, directly
                    or indirectly, immediately following such merger,
                    consolidation or reorganization, at least 50%

                                       1

<PAGE>

                    of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
                    securities of the corporation resulting from such merger,
                    consolidation or reorganization (the "Surviving
                    Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their
                    ownership of the Common Stock or Voting Securities, as the
                    case may be, immediately prior to the merger, consolidation
                    or reorganization,

                              (B) the individuals who were members of the
                    Incumbent Board immediately prior to the execution of the
                    agreement providing for the merger, consolidation or
                    reorganization constitute at least two-thirds of the members
                    of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation, or a
                    corporation beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, a
                    majority of the voting securities of the Surviving
                    Corporation, and

                              (C) no Person or Group, other than (1) Company,
                    (2) any Subsidiary, (3) any Employee Benefit Plan or (4) any
                    other Person or Group who, immediately prior to the merger,
                    consolidation or reorganization, had Beneficial Ownership of
                    not less than 20% of the then outstanding Voting Securities
                    or Common Stock, has Beneficial Ownership of 20% or more of
                    the combined voting power of the Surviving Corporation's
                    then outstanding voting securities or common stock;

                    (d) A complete liquidation or dissolution of Company; or

                    (e) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially
          all of the assets of Company to any Person (other than a transfer to a
          Subsidiary).

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed
to have occurred solely because any Person or Group (the "Subject Person")
acquired Beneficial Ownership of more than the permitted amount of the then
outstanding Voting Securities or Common Stock of Company as a result of an
acquisition of Voting Securities or Common Stock by Company which, by reducing
the number of shares of Voting Securities or Common Stock then outstanding,
increases the proportional number of shares beneficially owned by the Subject
Person; provided, however, that if a Change of Control would have occurred (but
for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the acquisition of Voting
Securities or Common Stock by Company, and after such acquisition by Company,
the Subject Person becomes the beneficial owner of any additional shares of
Voting Securities or Common Stock, which increases the percentage of the then
outstanding shares of Voting Securities or Common Stock beneficially owned by
the Subject Person, then a Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the acquisition or ownership of any
Common Stock or Voting Securities by Company and its Subsidiaries shall not
cause or result in a Change of Control.
