    AGREEMENT

      New
      Jersey corporation (the "Corporation") and Thomas E. Bocchino (the "Officer").
      

     

    WHEREAS,
      the Officer is an officer of the Corporation holding the positions of Vice

      Treasurer; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      proceedings based upon the Officer's performance of his duties as an officer

      may
      be brought from time to time against or involving him; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      the Corporation recognizes that the threat of such proceedings might inhibit
      the
      Officer in his performance of his duties, cause the Officer to cease serving
      as
      an officer of the Corporation and/or make him unwilling to serve on the
      governing board of another business entity as requested by the Corporation;
      and

    

    WHEREAS,
      to reduce any such inhibition, the Corporation wishes to indemnify the Officer
      against liabilities he may incur as a result of certain proceedings, as well
      as
      expenses he may incur in his defense in such proceedings; and

    

    WHEREAS,
      in certain proceedings involving claims relating to the Employee Retirement
      Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Federal law may apply to limit the
      permissible scope of indemnification; and

    

    NOW,
      THEREFORE, the parties hereto, for valuable consideration, incident to the
      Officer's service to, and to induce the continued service of the Officer to
      the
