Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended).

Definitions.

(b)       
          Payments equal to the excess, if any, of:

                    March 2003 in an amount equal to $38,500 and such amount was included for
                    purposes of calculating Average Monthly Pay (without regard to the terms of the

payable
at the same time and in the same form as Mr. Cahans benefits under the SERP.

Mr.    
          Cahans benefits hereunder shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable and
          shall be distributable to him or, in the event of Mr. Cahans death, to his
          beneficiary, as provided below.

Administration of the Plan.The
Special Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committees duties and
authority under the Special Plan shall include (i) the interpretation of the provisions of
the Special Plan, (ii) the adoption of any rules and regulations which may become
necessary or advisable in the operation of the Special Plan, (iii) the making of such
determinations as may be permitted or required pursuant to the Special Plan, and (iv) the
taking of such other actions as may be required for the proper administration of the
Special Plan in accordance with its terms. Any decision of the Committee with respect to
any matter within the authority of the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive
upon each Employer and Mr. Cahan, each designated beneficiary, and each person claiming
under or through Mr. Cahan or any designated beneficiary, and no additional authorization
or ratification by the Board of Directors or stockholders of any Employer shall be
required. Each determination required or permitted under the Special Plan shall be made by
the Committee in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee.

Designation of Beneficiaries.Mr.
Cahans beneficiary under this Special Plan shall be the same beneficiary as is
recognized under the SERP. If Mr. Cahan fails to designate a beneficiary before his death,
as provided above, or if the beneficiary designated by Mr. Cahan dies before the date of
Mr. Cahans death, the Committee, in its discretion, may pay the benefit to which Mr.
Cahan is entitled, if any, to either (i) one or more of the Mr. Cahans relatives by
blood, adoption or marriage and in such proportions as the Committee determines, or (ii)
the legal representative or representatives of the estate of the last to die of Mr. Cahan
and his designated beneficiary.

Non-Alienation of Benefits.Mr.
Cahans rights to benefits under the Special Plan shall not be grantable,
transferable, pledgeable or otherwise assignable, in whole or in part, by the voluntary or
involuntary acts of any person, or by operation of law, and shall not be liable or taken
for any obligation of such person. Any such attempted grant, transfer, pledge or
assignment shall be null and void and without any legal effect.

Withholding for Taxes.Notwithstanding anything contained in this Special Plan to the contrary, each Employer
shall withhold or shall cause its agent to withhold from any distribution made under the
Special Plan such amount or amounts as may be required for purposes of complying with the
tax withholding provisions of the Code or any states income tax act for purposes of
paying any estate, inheritance or other tax attributable to any amounts distributable or
creditable under the Special Plan.

Immunity of Committee Members.The
members of the Committee may rely upon any information, report or opinion supplied to them
by any officer of an Employer or any legal counsel, independent public accountant or
actuary, and shall be fully protected in relying upon any such information, report or
opinion. No member of the Committee shall have any liability to an Employer or Mr. Cahan
or any designated beneficiary, person claiming under or through Mr. Cahan or any
designated beneficiary or other person interested or concerned in connection with any
decision made by such member pursuant to the Special Plan which was based upon any such
information, report or opinion if such member relied thereon good faith.

Special Plan not to Affect Employment
Relationship.Neither the adoption of the Special Plan nor its operation shall in any way
affect the right and power of any Employer to dismiss or otherwise terminate the
employment or change the terms of the employment or amount of compensation of Mr. Cahan at
any time for any reason nor without cause. By accepting any payment under this Special
Plan, Mr. Cahan , each designated beneficiary and each person claiming under or through
such person, shall be conclusively bound by any action or decision taken or made under the
Special Plan by the Committee.

Subordination of Rights.At the
Committees request, Mr. Cahan or each designated beneficiary shall sign such
documents as the Committee may require in order to subordinate Mr. Cahans or such
designated beneficiarys rights under the Special Plan to the rights of such other
creditors of the Company as may be specified by the Committee.

Notices.    
Any notice required to be given by the Company or the Committee hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be delivered in person or by registered mail, return
receipt requested. Any notice given by registered mail shall be deemed to have
been given upon the date of delivery, correctly addressed to the last known
address of the person to whom such notice is to be given.

Controlling Law.The Special Plan
shall be construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New Jersey.

Successors.    
The Special Plan is binding on all persons entitled to benefits hereunder and
their respective heirs and legal representatives, and on the Committee and its
successor, whether by way of merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise.

Severability.    
If any provision of the Special Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any
reason, such illegality on invalidity shall not affect the remaining provision
of the Special Plan, and the Special Plan shall be enforced as if the invalid
provisions had never been set forth therein.

Action by Company.Any action
required or permitted by the Company under the Special Plan shall be by resolution of its
Board of Directors or by a duly authorized committee of its Board of Directors, or by a
person or persons authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors or such committee.
