          AGREEMENT dated as of December 10, 2004 between SAUL POMERANTZ,

          WHEREAS, the Company and Executive entered into an agreement dated as

termination of Executive's employment in certain circumstances ("Severance
Agreement"); and

          WHEREAS, the Company and Executive have agreed to other and additional
terms governing the terms and conditions of Executive's employment by the
Company; and

          WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to evidence the terms and
conditions of Executive's continued employment in writing and to provide for the

          IT IS AGREED:

1.   Employment, Duties and Acceptance.

     1.1. Prior Agreements. The Severance Agreement is hereby terminated and is
hereby superseded in its entirety by the terms, conditions and agreements set
forth in this Agreement.

     1.2. General. During the Term (as defined herein), the Company shall employ
Executive as its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer ("COO").
All of Executive's powers and authority in any capacity shall at all times be
subject to the direction and control of the Company's Board of Directors and its
Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall report directly to the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. The Board or the Chief Executive Officer may assign to
Executive such general management and supervisory responsibilities and executive
duties for the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, including serving as a
director, as are consistent with Executive's status as Executive Vice President
and COO. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive's primary
functions and duties as Executive Vice President and COO shall be to manage and
supervise the day-to-day administration of the Company's business.

     1.3. Full-Time Position. Executive accepts such employment and agrees to
devote substantially all of his business time, energies and attention to the
performance of his duties hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as
preventing Executive from making and



supervising personal investments, provided they will not interfere with the
performance of Executive's duties hereunder or violate the provisions of Section
6.4 hereof.

     1.4. Location. Executive shall be located in the New York City metropolitan
area. Executive shall undertake such travel, within or outside the United
States, as is reasonably necessary in the interests of the Company.

2.   Compensation and Benefits.

     2.1. Salary. The Company shall pay to Executive a salary at the annual rate
of $250,000 ("Base Salary"). Executive's compensation shall be paid in equal,
periodic installments in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
procedures.

     2.2. Bonus. In addition to Base Salary, for the fiscal year ending June 30,
2005, Executive shall be paid a bonus ("Bonus") in accordance with the terms of
the Company's senior executive incentive compensation pool as adopted by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors in September 1998 ("1998
Incentive Plan"), in an amount equal to 1.25 percent (1.25%) of the Company's
net income before taxes and before calculation of all bonuses under the 1998
Incentive Plan for such fiscal year ("Net Income") in excess of $1,200,000 and
up to $3,200,000, and equal to 1.75 percent (1.75%) of Net Income in excess of
$3,200,000 ("Net Income Percentage Amount"). For the fiscal year ending June 30,
2006, Executive shall be paid a Bonus in accordance with the terms of a plan
intended to be adopted by the Company's Compensation Committee prior to July 31,
2005 ("New Incentive Plan"); provided, however, that if the Compensation
Committee does not adopt the New Incentive Plan on or prior to July 31, 2005,
then Executive's Bonus for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006 shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of the 1998 Incentive Plan in an amount equal to the
Net Income Percentage Amount.

     2.3. Options.

          (a) As additional compensation for Executive entering into this
Agreement and agreeing to be bound by its terms and for the services to be
rendered by Executive hereunder, the Company hereby grants to Executive a
ten-year option ("Option") to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock under the
Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan ("Plan").

          (b) The Option shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement, dated
the date of this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT A. The Option
shall not be an incentive option and shall have an exercise price equal to the
last sale price of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Option.
Except as otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option will vest
in five equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the
date of grant of such Option and shall expire on the day immediately preceding
the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of such Option.

     2.4. Benefits. The Company will, at its own cost and expense, maintain (i)
a life insurance policy on the life of the Executive which will provide a death
benefit to the Executive's beneficiary in the amount of $1,200,000 and which
will be owned by Executive; (ii) a disability insurance policy which will
provide a non-taxable benefit of at least $4,500 per month payable to Executive
until Executive attains the age of 64 and which will be owned by


                                       2


Executive; provided, however, that Executive hereby acknowledges that the cost
of premiums for such disability insurance policy will be considered taxable
income for Executive in the year paid by the Company and will be reported by the
Company to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income and (iii) such group
medical insurance covering Executive and Executive's dependent family members
and such other benefits as are generally afforded to other senior executives of
the Company, subject to applicable waiting periods and other conditions.
Provided that (a) Executive is still employed by the Company on the date he
attains age 62 and Executive thereafter retires from such employment and (b) the
Company's Retired Senior Executive Medical Plan is in effect at the time of
Executive's retirement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in the
Company's Retired Senior Executive Medical Plan in accordance with all of the
terms and conditions thereof and contained in the letter from David M. Hogan to
Thomas Rende dated August 2, 1999 (copies of which are annexed hereto as EXHIBIT
B), except that no further approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors shall be necessary for such participation. The provisions contained
in the foregoing sentence shall survive termination of this Agreement as long as
Executive remains employed by the Company.

     2.5. Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to four weeks of paid vacation
during each calendar year and to a reasonable number of other days off for
religious and personal reasons.

     2.6. Automobile. The Company shall provide Executive with a suitable
automobile for business use and shall pay for all other costs associated with
the use of the vehicle, including insurance costs, repairs and maintenance. The
Company shall not be required to expend more than $800 per month during the Term
for the costs of leasing or purchasing such automobile (or, since Executive
resides in the State of New York where leasing is not available, the comparable
quasi-lease arrangement (e.g., "smart-buy")). The costs associated with
Executive's automobile shall be considered taxable income to Executive, except
to the extent that it is documented to have been used by him for business
purposes.

     2.7. Expenses. The Company will pay or reimburse Executive for all
transportation, hotel and other expenses reasonably incurred by Executive on
business trips and for all other ordinary and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
actually incurred by him in the conduct of the business of the Company against
itemized vouchers submitted with respect to any such expenses and approved in
accordance with customary procedures. 3. Term. The term of Executive's
employment hereunder has commenced as of December 1, 2004 and shall continue
until November 30, 2006 ("Term"), unless sooner terminated as herein provided.

4.   Termination.

     4.1. Death. If Executive dies during the term of this Agreement,
Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate and the Company shall pay to
Executive's estate the amount set forth in Section 4.6(a).

     4.2. Disability. The Company, by written notice to Executive, may terminate
Executive's employment hereunder if Executive shall fail because of illness or
incapacity to render services of the character contemplated by this Agreement
for one hundred and eighty


                                       3


(180) consecutive calendar days in any consecutive twelve calendar month period.
Upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount set forth
in Section 4.6(b).

     4.3. By Company for "Cause". The Company, by written notice to Executive,
may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for "Cause." As used herein,
"Cause" shall mean: (a) the refusal, or failure resulting from the lack of good
faith efforts, by Executive to carry out specific directions of the Board or the
Chief Executive Officer which are of a material nature and consistent with his
status as Executive Vice President and COO, or the refusal, or failure resulting
from the lack of good faith efforts, by Executive to perform a material part of
Executive's duties hereunder; (b) the commission by Executive of a material
breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement; (c) fraud or dishonest action
by Executive in his relations with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or with any customer or business contact of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates ("dishonest" for these purposes shall mean
Executive knowingly making a material misstatement or omission, or knowingly
committing a material improper act, for his personal benefit); or (d) the
conviction of Executive of any crime involving an act of moral turpitude.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no "Cause" for termination shall be deemed to
exist with respect to Executive's acts described in clauses (a) or (b) above,
unless the Company shall have given written notice to Executive specifying the
"Cause" with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30) calendar days
after such notice, Executive shall not have cured or eliminated the problem or
thing giving rise to such "Cause;" provided, however, that a repeated breach
after notice and cure of any provision of clauses (a) or (b) above involving the
same or substantially similar actions or conduct, shall be grounds for
termination for "Cause" without any additional notice from the Company. Upon
such termination, the Company shall pay to executive the amount set forth in
Section 4.6(c).

     4.4. By Employee for "Good Reason". The Executive, by written notice to the
Company, may terminate Executive's employment hereunder if a "Good Reason"
exists. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean the occurrence
of any of the following circumstances without the Executive's prior express
written consent: (a) a substantial and material breach of this Agreement by the
Company; (b) a failure by the Company to make any payment to Executive when due,
unless the payment is not material and is being contested by the Company, in
good faith; or (c) a material and adverse change in Executive's compensation and
benefits described in Section 2 of this Agreement with which Executive
disagrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Good Reason" shall not be deemed to
exist with respect to the Company's acts described in clauses (a), (b) or (c)
above, unless the Executive shall have given written notice to the Company
specifying the Good Reason with reasonable particularity and, within thirty (30)
calendar days after such notice, the Company shall not have cured or eliminated
the problem or thing giving rise to such Good Reason; provided, however, that a
repeated breach after notice and cure of any provision of clauses (a), (b) or
(c) above involving the same or substantially similar actions or conduct, shall
be grounds for termination for Good Reason without any additional notice from
the Executive. Upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Executive the
amount set forth in Section 4.6(d).

     4.5. By Company Without "Cause". The Company may terminate Executive's
employment hereunder without "Cause". Upon such termination, the Company shall
pay to Executive the amount set forth in Section 4.6(d).

                                       4


     4.6. Compensation Upon Termination.

          (a) Payment Upon Death. In the event that Executive's employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 4.1, the Company shall no longer be under any
obligation to Executive or his legal representatives pursuant to this Agreement
except for (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof
through the date of termination, (ii) any Bonus which would have become payable
under Section 2.2 for the year in which the employment was terminated prorated
by multiplying the full amount of the Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of "full calendar months" worked by Executive during the
year of termination and the denominator of which is 12 (a "full calendar month"
is a month in which the Executive worked at least two weeks), which Bonus will
be calculated and paid after the Company's fiscal year end and in accordance
with the Company's customary procedures, (iii) all earned and previously
approved but unpaid Bonuses for any year prior to the year of termination, (iv)
all valid expense reimbursements and (v) all accrued but unused vacation pay.

          (b) Payment Upon Disability. In the event that Executive's employment
is terminated pursuant to Section 4.2, the Company shall no longer be under any
obligation to Executive or his legal representatives pursuant to this Agreement
except for (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof
through the date of termination, (ii) any Bonus which would have become payable
under Section 2.2 for the year in which the employment was terminated prorated
by multiplying the full amount of the Bonus by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the number of "full calendar months" worked by Executive during the
year of termination and the denominator of which is 12 (a "full calendar month"
is a month in which the Executive worked at least two weeks), which Bonus will
be calculated and paid after the Company's fiscal year end and in accordance
with the Company's customary procedures, (iii) all earned and previously
approved but unpaid Bonuses for any year prior to the year of termination, (iv)
all valid expense reimbursements; (v) all accrued but unused vacation pay; and
(vi) medical coverage at the Company's expense through the date of termination.

          (c) Payment Upon Termination by the Company For "Cause". If the
Company terminates Executive's employment hereunder pursuant to Section 4.3, the
Company shall have no further obligations to the Executive hereunder, except the
Company shall pay to Executive his Base Salary, all valid expense reimbursements
and all unused vacation pay required by law through the date of termination.

          (d) Payment Upon Termination by Company Without Cause, by Executive
for "Good Reason" or Following Expiration of Term. In the event that Executive's
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4.4 or 4.5, or if the Company does
not continue Executive's employment at the end of the Term and thereafter upon
terms substantially similar to the terms of this Agreement (excluding the option
grant provided for in Section 2.3 and excluding the commitment to offer
employment for a specified term), the Company shall have no further obligations
to Executive hereunder except for: (i) the Base Salary due Executive pursuant to
Section 2.1 hereof through the end of the Term; (ii) any Bonus which would have
become payable under Section 2.2 through the end of the Term; (iii) all earned
and previously approved but unpaid Bonuses; (iv) all valid expense
reimbursements; (v) all accrued but unused vacation pay; (vi) the sum of
$200,000.00, which shall be paid in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
procedures in equal weekly installments for one year commencing on either (a)
the last



                                       5


day of the Term if Executive's employment is terminated during the Term or (b)
the date of termination if Executive's employment is terminated at any time
after the end of the Term; (vii) the benefits set forth in Sections 2.4 and 2.6
through the end of the Term; and (viii) medical coverage at the Company's
expense for one year commencing on either (a) the last day of the Term if
Executive's employment is terminated during the Term or (b) the date of
termination if Executive's employment is terminated at any time after the end of
the Term; provided, however, that Executive's medical coverage shall terminate
upon the Executive becoming covered under a similar program by reason of
employment elsewhere.

     4.7. Resignation as Director Upon Termination. If Executive's employment
hereunder is terminated for any reason, then Executive shall, at the Company's
request, resign as a director of the Company and all of its subsidiaries,
effective upon the occurrence of such termination.

5.   Executive Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify Executive and hold
Executive harmless against all costs, expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities (other than settlements to which the
Company does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
(collectively, "Losses") reasonably incurred by Executive in connection with any
claim, action, proceeding or investigation brought against or involving
Executive with respect to, arising out of or in any way relating to Executive's
employment with the Company or Executive's service as a director of the Company;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify Executive
for Losses incurred as a result of Executive's intentional misconduct or gross
negligence (other than matters where Executive acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in and not opposed to the Company's best
interests). Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any claim, action,
proceeding or investigation under this paragraph and the Company shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of any such claim, action, proceeding or
investigation and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense with counsel selected
by the Company; provided that Executive shall have the right to employ counsel
to represent him (at the Company's expense) if Company counsel would have a
"conflict of interest" in representing both the Company and Executive. The
Company shall not settle or compromise any claim, action, proceeding or
investigation without Executive's consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such consent shall not be
required if the settlement entails only the payment of money and the Company
fully indemnifies Executive in connection therewith. The Company further agrees
to advance any and all expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and
expenses of counsel) reasonably incurred by the Executive in connection with any
such claim, action, proceeding or investigation, provided Executive first enters
into an appropriate agreement for repayment of such advances if indemnification
is found not to have been available.

6.   Protection of Confidential Information; Non-Competition.

     6.1. Acknowledgement. Executive acknowledges that:

          (a) As a result of his employment with the Company, Executive has
obtained and will obtain secret and confidential information concerning the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (referred to
collectively in this Section 6 as the "Company"), including, without limitation,
financial information, designs and other proprietary rights, trade secrets and
"know-how," customers and sources ("Confidential Information").

                                       6


          (b) The Company will suffer substantial damage which will be difficult
to compute if, during the period of his employment with the Company or
thereafter, Executive should divulge Confidential Information.

          (c) The provisions of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary for
the protection of the business of the Company.

     6.2. Confidentiality. Executive agrees that he will not at any time, either
during the Term or thereafter, divulge to any person or entity any Confidential
Information obtained or learned by him as a result of his employment with, or
prior retention by, the Company, except: (i) in the course of performing his
duties hereunder; (ii) with the Company's express written consent; (iii) to the
extent that any such information is in the public domain other than as a result
of Executive's breach of any of his obligations hereunder; or (iv) where
required to be disclosed by court order, subpoena or other government process.
If Executive shall be required to make disclosure pursuant to the provisions of
clause (iv) of the preceding sentence, Executive promptly, but in no event more
than two (2) business days after learning of such subpoena, court order, or
other government process, shall notify, by personal delivery or by electronic
means, confirmed by mail, the Company and, at the Company's expense, Executive
shall: (a) take all reasonably necessary and lawful steps required by the
Company to defend against the enforcement of such subpoena, court order or other
government process and (b) permit the Company to intervene and participate with
counsel of its choice in any proceeding relating to the enforcement thereof.

     6.3. Documents. Upon termination of his employment with the Company,
Executive will promptly deliver to the Company all memoranda, notes, records,
reports, manuals, drawings, blueprints and other documents (and all copies
thereof) relating to the business of the Company and all property associated
therewith, which he may then possess or have under his control; provided,
however, that Executive shall be entitled to retain copies of such documents
reasonably necessary to document his financial relationship (both past and
future) with the Company.

     6.4. Non-Solicitation. During the period commencing on the date hereof and
ending on the date which is one year after the date upon which Executive's
employment hereunder is terminated, Executive, without the prior written
permission of the Company, shall not, anywhere in the world, (i) employ or
retain, or have or cause any other person or entity to employ or retain, any
person who was employed or retained by the Company at any time within 180 days
prior to the termination of Executive's employment; or (ii) solicit, interfere
with, or endeavor to entice away from the Company, for the benefit of any
person, firm or corporation engaged in any business which is directly or
indirectly in competition with the Company, any of its customers or other
persons with whom the Company has a contractual relationship.

     6.5. Injunctive Relief. If Executive commits a breach, or threatens to
commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Sections 6.2, 6.3 or 6.4, the
Company shall have the right and remedy to seek to have the provisions of this
Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it
being acknowledged and agreed by Executive that the services being rendered
hereunder to the Company are of a special, unique and extraordinary character
and that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to
the Company and


                                       7


that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company. The
rights and remedies enumerated in this Section 6.5 shall be in addition to, and
not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law
or equity. In connection with any legal action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or proceeding
shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the other party for the reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the prevailing party.

     6.6. Modification. If any provision of this Section 6 is held to be
unenforceable because of the scope, duration or area of its applicability, the
tribunal making such determination shall have the power to modify such scope,
duration, or area, or all of them, and such provision or provisions shall then
be applicable in such modified form.

     6.7. Survival. The provisions of this Section 6, and the provisions of
Section 4.6(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason,
except in the event Executive is terminated by the Company without "Cause", or
if Executive terminates this Agreement with "Good Reason," in either of which
events, Section 6.4 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.

7.   Miscellaneous Provisions.

     7.1. Notices. All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in
