         (a) Expiration of the Term in accordance with Section 1;

         (b) At the election of the Company, for Cause, immediately upon written
notice by the  Company to the  Employee.  For the  purposes  of this  Agreement,
"Cause"  for  termination  shall be deemed to exist  upon:  (i) a finding by the
Company of failure  of the  Employee  to  perform  his  assigned  duties for the
Company, to adhere to the terms of this Agreement, or to follow Company policies
and procedures;  (ii) the Employee's commission of dishonesty,  gross negligence

<PAGE>

in his position with the Company;  (iii) the Employee's commission of any act or
conduct that  subjects the Company to public  disrespect  or ridicule or injures
the reputation of the Company; or (iv) the conviction of the Employee of, or the
entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo  contendere  by the Employee to, any crime
involving moral turpitude or any felony;

         (c) Upon the  death or  disability  of the  Employee.  As used in  this
Agreement,  the term "disability"  shall mean the inability of the Employee with
reasonable  accommodation  as may be required by State or Federal  law, due to a
physical or mental  disability,  for a period of one hundred  twenty (120) days,
whether or not  consecutive,  during any 360-day  period to perform the services
contemplated  under this Agreement.  A determination of disability shall be made
by a physician satisfactory to both the Employee and the Company,  provided that
                                                                   -------- ----
if the Employee  and the Company do not agree on a  physician,  the Employee and
the Company shall each select a physician and these two together  shall select a
third  physician,  whose  determination as to disability shall be binding on all
parties;

         (d) At the election of the Employee without Good Reason,  upon not less
than sixty (60) days' prior written notice of termination; and

         (e) At the Election of the Employee for Good Reason, after the Employee
has  given  the  Company  at least  fifteen  (15)  days  written  notice  and an
opportunity to cure such Good Reason. For the purposes of this Agreement,  "Good
Reason" for  termination  shall mean the following:  (i) failure to maintain the
Employee in a position  commensurate  with that referred to in Section 2 of this
Agreement;  (ii)  failure to pay the  salary as stated in  section  4(a) of this
Agreement;   or  (iii)  required   relocation  of  the  Employee's  main  office
(reasonable  travel excluded) more than seventy-five (75) miles from Edison, New
Jersey; and



                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>

         (f) At the  election of the Company,  without cause,  immediately  upon
written notice by the Company to the Employee.

     6.  Effect of Termination.  Upon  termination  of the  Agreement,  the only
         ---------------------
remuneration to which the Employee will be entitled shall be as follows:

         (a) Termination  after  the  Expiration  of the Term,  for  Cause or at
             -------------------------------------------------------------------
Election  of the  Employee  without  Good  Reason.  In the event the  Employee's
-------------------------------------------------
employment  is terminated  after the  expiration of the Term pursuant to Section
6(a),  for cause  pursuant to Section  6(b),  or at the election of the Employee
without  Good Reason  pursuant  to Section  6(d),  the Company  shall pay to the
Employee  the  compensation  and  benefits  otherwise  payable to him/her  under
Section 3 through the last day of his actual employment by the Company.

         (b) Termination for Death or Disability.  If the  Employee's employment
             -----------------------------------
is terminated by death or because of  disability  pursuant to Section 6(c),  the
Company shall pay to the estate of the Employee or to the Employee,  as the case
may be, the  compensation  that would otherwise be payable to the Employee up to
the end of the month in which the termination of his employment because of death
or disability occurs.

         (c) Termination  Without Cause or Termination  for Good Reason  by  the
             -------------------------------------------------------------------
Employee.  If the Employee's  employment is terminated without cause pursuant to
--------
Section 6(f), or for Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(e), the Company shall pay
or provide the Employee for a period of fifteen (15) months:  (i) in  accordance
with the Company's regular payroll practices,  the Employee's base salary;  and,
(ii)  reimbursement  (or direct  payment,  at the Company's  option) for medical
benefits  pursuant to an election by the  Employee  under COBRA.  The  Company's
obligation to pay or provide the benefits discussed in this paragraph 6(c) shall
be expressly  conditioned  upon the Employee's  first  executing a valid general
release and waiver,



                                     - 5 -
<PAGE>

releasing the Company,  its  directors,  officers and employees from any and all
claims under this agreement or pursuant to your employment, in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company.

         (d)  Termination  in  Connection  with a  Change  in  Control.  If  the
              --------------------------------------------------------
Employee's employment is terminated within the period extending from the one (1)
month  before to the twelve  (12) months  after a Change in Control,  as such is
defined herein,  for any reason  whatsoever:  (i) the Employee shall receive all
benefits provided in Section 6(c);  and (ii) the restrictions in Section 7 shall
immediately  lapse  and  thereafter  be null  and  void.  For  purposes  of this
Agreement,  a "Change in Control"  shall mean only the  occurrence of any of the
following events within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date:

             (i) the acquisition by an individual,  entity or group  (within the
     meaning of Section  13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange  Act) (a "Person")
     of beneficial  ownership of any capital stock of the Company if, after such
     acquisition,  such  Person  beneficially  owns  (within the meaning of Rule
     13d-3  promulgated  under the  Exchange  Act) 50% or more of either (x) the
     then-outstanding  shares of common stock of the Company  (the  "Outstanding
     Company   Common   Stock")  or  (y)  the  combined   voting  power  of  the
     then-outstanding  securities of the Company  entitled to vote  generally in
     the election of directors (the  "Outstanding  Company Voting  Securities");
     provided,  however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following
     --------   -------
     acquisitions  shall not  constitute  a Change  in  Control  Event:  (A) any
     acquisition directly from the Company (excluding an acquisition pursuant to
     the  exercise,  conversion  or exchange of any  security  exercisable  for,
     convertible into or exchangeable  for common stock or voting  securities of
     the Company,  unless the Person  exercising,  converting or exchanging such
     security acquired such security directly from the Company or an underwriter
     or agent of the Company), (B)



                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>

     any acquisition by any employee  benefit plan (or related trust)  sponsored
     or maintained by the Company or any corporation  controlled by the Company,
     or  (C)  any  acquisition  by  any  corporation   pursuant  to  a  Business
     Combination  (as defined  below) which complies with clauses (x) and (y) of
     subsection (iii) of this definition; or

             (ii)  such time as the  Continuing  Directors (as defined below) do
     not  constitute  a majority of the Board (or, if  applicable,  the Board of
     Directors  of a  successor  corporation  to the  Company),  where  the term
     "Continuing Director" means at any date a member of the Board (x) who was a
     member of the Board on the date of the initial  adoption of this  Agreement
     by the Board or (y) who was nominated or elected subsequent to such date by
     at least a majority of the directors who were  Continuing  Directors at the
     time of such  nomination  or  election  or whose  election to the Board was
     recommended  or endorsed by at least a majority of the  directors  who were
     Continuing Directors at the time of such nomination or election; or

             (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation,  reorganization,
     recapitalization or share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other
     disposition  of all or  substantially  all of the assets of the  Company (a
     "Business  Combination"),   unless,  immediately  following  such  Business
     Combination,  each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (x) all or
     substantially  all of the  individuals and entities who were the beneficial
     owners of the  Outstanding  Company  Common Stock and  Outstanding  Company
     Voting   Securities   immediately   prior  to  such  Business   Combination
     beneficially   own,   directly  or   indirectly,   more  than  50%  of  the
     then-outstanding  shares of common stock and the  combined  voting power of
     the then-outstanding  securities entitled to vote generally in the election
     of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring



                                     - 7 -
<PAGE>

     corporation  or other form of entity in such  Business  Combination  (which
     shall include,  without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such
     transaction owns the Company or  substantially  all of the Company's assets
     either  directly or through one or more  subsidiaries)  (such  resulting or
     acquiring  corporation  or entity is referred  to herein as the  "Acquiring
     Corporation") in  substantially  the same proportions as their ownership of
     the  Outstanding  Company  Common  Stock  and  Outstanding  Company  Voting
     Securities,  respectively,  immediately prior to such Business  Combination
     and (y) no Person  (excluding  the  Acquiring  Corporation  or any employee
     benefit plan (or related  trust)  maintained or sponsored by the Company or
     by the Acquiring  Corporation)  beneficially owns,  directly or indirectly,
     30% or more of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring
     Corporation,  or of the  combined  voting  power  of  the  then-outstanding
     securities of such  corporation  entitled to vote generally in the election
     of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the
     Business Combination).

             (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control will not be
     deemed to have occurred in the case of a Management  Buy Out. A "Management
     Buy  Out" is any  event  which  would  otherwise  be  deemed a  "Change  in
     Control",  in which the Chief  Executive  Officer of the Company or any two
     other officers (vice  president  level  employees or above) of the Company,
     directly  or  indirectly  (as  a  beneficial  owner):  (i)  acquire  equity
     securities,  including any securities  convertible into or exchangeable for
     equity  securities,   of  the  Company  or  the  Acquiring  Corporation  in
     connection  with any Change in Control;  or (ii)  receive  any  substantial
     financial  gain as a result of the Change



                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>

     in  Control  as  determined  by the  Board,  other  than  such  gain  as is
     specifically authorized by the Board.

         (e) Survival.  The provisions of Sections 7, 8 and 9 shall  survive the
             --------
termination of this Agreement.

     7.  Non-Compete.
         -----------

         (a) During the  term of the  Employee's  employment  with  the  Company
(whether or not such  employment  extends passed the expiration of the Term) and
for a period of eighteen (18) months after the termination thereof, the Employee
will not directly or indirectly:

             (i)  as an individual proprietor,  partner,  stockholder,  officer,
     employee,  director,  joint  venturer,  investor,  lender,  or in any other
     capacity  whatsoever (other than as the holder of not more than one percent
     (1%) of the total outstanding stock of a publicly held company),  engage in
     the business of developing, producing, marketing or selling products and/or
     services  of the  kind or type  developed  or  being  developed,  produced,
     marketed,  sold or provided by the Company  while the Employee was employed
     by the Company; or

             (ii)  hire, recruit, solicit or induce,  or attempt to induce,  any
     employee or contractor of the Company to terminate their  employment  with,
     or otherwise cease their business relationship with, the Company;

             (iii) solicit, divert or take away, or attempt to divert or to take
     away,  the  business  or  patronage  of any of the  clients,  customers  or
     accounts,  or prospective  clients,  customers or accounts,  of the Company
     which were actively  contacted,  solicited or served by the Company  during
     the term of the Employee's employment with the Company; or


                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>

             (iv)  work  with or for any  individual  who is  an  officer  (Vice
     President  or  higher) of the  Company or was an officer  within the twelve
     month period prior to the termination of the Employee's employment with the
     Company;  except that this  paragraph  7(a)(iv) shall not apply to any work
     done for the sole benefit of the Company, during the Employee's employment.

         (b) If any  restriction  set  forth in this  Section 7 is  found by any
court of competent  jurisdiction to be unenforceable  because it extends for too
long a period of time or over too great a range of  activities or in too broad a
geographic  area, it shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period
of  time,  range  of  activities  or  geographic  area  as to  which  it  may be
enforceable.

         (c) The restrictions contained in this Section 7 are necessary  for the
protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and are considered by the
Employee to be reasonable for such purpose.  The Employee agrees that any breach
of this Section 7 will cause the Company  substantial and irrevocable damage and
therefore,  in the event of any such breach,  in addition to such other remedies
which may be  available,  the  Company  shall  have the  right to seek  specific
performance and injunctive relief.

     8.  Proprietary Information.
         -----------------------

         (a) The Employee agrees that all  information and know-how,  whether or
not in writing,  of a private,  secret or  confidential  nature  concerning  the
Company's   business   or   financial   affairs   (collectively,    "Proprietary
Information") is and shall be the exclusive  property of the Company.  By way of
illustration,   but  not   limitation,   Proprietary   Information  may  include

any  Proprietary  Information  to others outside the Company or use the same for
any unauthorized purposes without written approval by an officer of the Company,
either  during or after  his  employment,  unless  and  until  such  Proprietary
Information has become public knowledge without fault by the Employee.

         (b) The Employee agrees that all files,  letters,  memoranda,  reports,
records, data, sketches,  drawings,  laboratory notebooks,  program listings, or
other written,  photographic,  or other tangible material containing Proprietary
Information,  whether  created by the Employee or others,  which shall come into
his  custody  or  possession,  shall be and are the  exclusive  property  of the
Company to be used by the Employee only in the performance of his duties for the
Company.

         (c) The Employee  agrees  that his  obligation not to  disclose or  use
information,  know-how and records of the types set forth in paragraphs  (a) and
(b) above,  also  extends to such types of  information,  know-how,  records and
tangible  property of  customers  of the Company or  suppliers to the Company or
other third parties who may have  disclosed or entrusted the same to the Company
or to the Employee in the course of the Company's business.

(or any person or entity  designated  by the Company)  all his right,  title and
interest  in  and  to  all  Developments   and  all  related   patents,   patent
applications,  copyrights and copyright applications. However, this Section 9(b)
shall not apply to Developments which meet each of the following  criteria:  (i)
they do not in any way relate to the present or planned business or research and
development of the Company; and (ii) they are made and conceived by the Employee
not during normal working hours, not on the Company's premises and not using the
Company's tools, devices, equipment or Proprietary Information.

        (c) The Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company, both during

refrain from using or disclosing any trade secret or confidential or proprietary

competing,  directly or indirectly,  with the business of such previous employer
or any other party. The employee further  represents that his performance of all
the terms of this  Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will
not  breach  any  agreement  to  keep  in  confidence  proprietary  information,
knowledge  or data  acquired by him/her in  confidence  or in trust prior to his
employment with the Company.
