herein set out upon the terms and conditions hereof, including the following, to
all of which the Company agrees:

          (a) in acting under this Agreement, the Calculation Agent is acting
     solely as an independent expert of the Company and does not assume any
     obligation toward, or any relationship of agency or trust for or with, any
     of the holders of the Securities;

          (b) unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any order,
     certificate, notice, request, direction or other communication from the
     Company or the Trustee made or given under any provision of this Agreement
     shall be sufficient if signed by any person whom the Calculation Agent

     the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be;

          (c) the Calculation Agent shall be obliged to perform only such duties
     as are set out specifically herein and any duties necessarily incidental
     thereto;

          (d) the Calculation Agent, whether acting for itself or in any other
     capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same
     rights as it would have had if it were not acting hereunder as Calculation
     Agent; and

          (e) the Calculation Agent shall incur no liability hereunder except
     for loss sustained by reason of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          6. Resignation; Removal; Successor. (a) The Calculation Agent may at
any time resign by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its
part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become
effective, subject to the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent and
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent, as
hereinafter provided. The Calculation Agent hereunder may be removed at any time

                                                                               3

Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective.
Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the
Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Calculation Agent and the
acceptance of such appointment by such successor Calculation Agent. In the event
a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed and has not accepted its
duties within 90 days of the Calculation Agent's notice of resignation, the
Calculation Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the
designation of a successor Calculation Agent.

part of its property shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall have
taken charge or control of the Calculation Agent or of its property or affairs,
for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, a successor
Calculation Agent shall be appointed by the Company by an instrument in writing,
filed with the successor Calculation Agent. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of
a successor Calculation Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment,
the Calculation Agent so superseded shall cease to be Calculation Agent
hereunder.

acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, to the Company and to the Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment hereunder and agreeing to be bound by the
terms hereof, and thereupon such successor Calculation Agent, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority,
rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor
with like effect as if originally named as Calculation Agent hereunder, and such
predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall
thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor
Calculation Agent shall be entitled to receive, all moneys, securities and other
property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Calculation Agent
hereunder.

merged or converted or any corporation with which the Calculation Agent may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Calculation Agent shall be a party, or any

                         [Calculation Agency Agreement]

                                     ANNEX A
                                     -------

     1.   The Index.

          The Index is the Nikkei 225(SM) Index (the "Index"), as calculated,
published and disseminated by Nihon Keizai Shimbun, Inc. ("NKS").

     2.   Determination of the Maturity Payment Amount.

          The Calculation Agent shall, at the request of the Trustee, determine
the amount payable on the Stated Maturity Date for each $1,000 principal amount
of Securities (the "Maturity Payment Amount").

          The Maturity Payment Amount shall be the following:

          o    If the Final Index Return is greater than or equal to zero, the
               lesser of:

               (a)  $1,260; and

               (b)  $1,000 + ($2,000 x the Final Index Return).

          o    If the Final Index Return is less than zero and the Final Index
               Level is equal to or greater than the Threshold Level, $1,000.

          o    If the Final Index Return is less than zero and the Final Index
               Level is less than the Threshold Level,

                                    Final Index Level
                           $1,000 x -----------------
                                     Threshold Level

     3.   Discontinuance of the Index.

     (a) If NKS discontinues publication of the Index and NKS or another entity
publishes a successor or substitute index (the "Successor Index") that the
Calculation Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to
be comparable to the discontinued Index, then the Calculation Agent shall
determine each subsequent Closing Index Level to be used in computing the
Maturity Payment Amount by reference to the Closing Index Level of such
Successor Index on the applicable date.

     (b) Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the
Company shall promptly give notice to the holders of the Securities.

     (c) If NKS discontinues publication of the Index and the Calculation Agent
determines that no Successor Index is available at such time, or if NKS (or the
publisher of any Successor Index) fails to calculate and publish a Closing Index
Level for the Index (or a Successor Index) on any date when it would ordinarily
do so in accordance with its customary practice, the Calculation Agent will
determine the Closing Index Level to be used for purposes of computing the
Maturity Payment Amount. In such circumstances, the Closing Index Level will be
computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for and method
of calculating the Index (or any Successor Index) last in effect prior to such
discontinuance or failure to publish, using

                                                                               2

the Closing Price (or, if trading in any of the relevant securities has been
materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the
Closing Price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation)
at the close of the principal trading session on such date of each security most
recently comprising the Index (or any Successor Index) on the Relevant Exchange
on which such security trades.

     4.   Alteration of Method of Calculation.

          If at any time the method of calculating the Index, any Successor
Index or the Closing Index Level thereof on any particular day is changed in a
material respect, or if the Index or a Successor Index is in any other way
modified so that such index does not, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent,
fairly represent the level of the Index or such Successor Index had such changes
or modifications not been made, then, from and after such time, the Calculation
Agent shall, at the Close of Trading of the Relevant Exchanges on which the
securities comprising the Index or such Successor Index traded on any date the
Closing Index Level thereof is to be determined, make such calculations and
adjustments as, in the good faith judgment of the Calculation Agent, may be
necessary in order to arrive at a level of a stock index comparable to the Index
or such Successor Index, as the case may be, as if such changes or modifications
had not been made. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the Closing Index Level
on any particular day and the Maturity Payment Amount with reference to the
Index or such Successor Index, as adjusted.

          Accordingly, if the method of calculating the Index or a Successor
Index is modified so that the level of such index is a fraction of what it would
have been if it had not been modified, then the Calculation Agent shall adjust
such index in order to arrive at a level of the Index or such Successor Index as
if it had not been modified.

     6. Incentive Stock Option Limitation: [Note: Section 6 is only applicable if Grantee
is receiving an Incentive Stock Option under this Agreement, as indicated in Section 1 above.]
Pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), to the extent
the aggregate fair market value of Option Shares available for purchase under the Option awarded
pursuant to this Agreement, when combined with the aggregate fair market value of Option Shares
that Grantee may purchase under any previously received Incentive Stock Options, exceeds
$100,000.00 and such Options are exercisable for the first time by Grantee during any calendar
year, the portion of this Option representing such excess shall not be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option and shall instead be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option under the
applicable provisions of the Plan.

     7. Non-Transferable: Subject to the terms and restrictions of Section 11(b) of the Plan,
Grantee may not transfer this Option except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This

to any lien, obligation or liability of the Grantee to any party (other than the Company or a
subsidiary or affiliate thereof), whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall be
exercisable during the Grantee’s lifetime only by Grantee or his or her guardian or legal
representative. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of
the Option contrary to the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement, or the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and without effect.

     8. Adjustments and Corporate Reorganizations: In the event that any large, special and
non-recurring dividend or other recapitalization, forward or reverse split, stock dividend,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange,
liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Stock such
that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate under the Plan, then the
Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, make certain adjustments in accordance
with the terms of Section 11(c) of the Plan, including but not necessarily limited to any or all of
the following: (a) adjustment to the number and kind of shares of Stock which may be delivered in
connection with the Option, and (b) adjustment to the exercise price or grant price relating to the
Option or, if deemed appropriate, the Committee may make provision for a payment of cash or
property to the holder of an outstanding Option (subject to Section 11(k) of the Plan). The
Committee’s determinations as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be
final, binding and conclusive.

     9. Stock Options and Change in Control: In accordance with the terms and restrictions of
Section 9 of the Plan, if there is a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in Section 9(c)
of the Plan), the Option then issued and outstanding to Grantee shall become fully exercisable and
vested as of the time of the Change in Control and shall remain exercisable and vested for the
balance of the Option Term, subject to applicable restrictions set forth in Section 11(a) of the
Plan, without regard to any termination of employment or service by the Grantee other than a
termination for Cause.

     10. Exercise; Payment For and Delivery of Stock: This Option may be exercised by the Grantee
or other person then entitled to exercise it by giving three (3) business days’ written notice to
the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this Agreement, of the intent to

-2-

 

Option to purchase whole shares of the Company’s Stock. Such notice must: (a) specify the number
of Option Shares to be exercised; (b) state the exercise price as provided in Section 2 of this
Agreement; and (c) comply with such further requirements consistent with the Plan as the Company or
the Committee may from time to time prescribe. The notice of exercise must be accompanied by a
check payable to the order of the Company in payment of the full exercise price. In addition, as a
condition of delivery of the Option Shares, if the Company is required to withhold on account of
any present or future tax imposed as a result of such exercise, the notice of exercise shall be
accompanied by a check payable to the order of the Company in payment of the full amount of such
withholding.

     11. No Rights in Option Shares Before Issuance and Delivery: Neither the Grantee nor any
other person shall be entitled to the rights and privileges of stock ownership in respect of any
Option Shares issuable upon exercise of this Option, nor shall the Company have any obligation to
issue any dividends or otherwise afford any rights to which shares of Stock are entitled with
respect to any such Option Shares, unless and until the date such shares have been issued and
transferred to such person as fully paid shares.

     12. No Rights as Employee: This Agreement is not an employment agreement and no provisions
hereof should be interpreted as such. No provisions of this Agreement shall provide a Grantee with
any guarantee of future employment or confer any right to continue as an employee of the Company.
Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the
Grantee’s employment at any time. All matters concerning the employment relationship between the
Company and the Grantee shall be governed by applicable law and the terms of a separate employment
agreement, if any, between the parties.

     13. Requirements of Law and of Stock Exchanges: Upon the exercise of an Option at a time when
there is not in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the
Option Shares, the Grantee hereby represents and warrants for himself and his transferees by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, and by virtue of such exercise shall be deemed to
represent and warrant, to the Company that the Option Shares are being acquired for investment
purposes for Grantee’s personal account and not with a view toward the distribution thereof, and
not with any present intention of distributing the same, and the Grantee shall provide the Company
with such further representations and warranties as the Company may require in order to ensure
compliance with applicable federal and state securities, blue sky and other laws.

     No certificate or certificates for Option Shares purchased upon exercise of this Option shall
be issued and delivered prior to the admission of such shares to listing on notice of issuance on
any stock exchange on which shares of that class are then listed, nor unless and until the Company
and/or the Grantee shall have complied with all applicable federal or state registration, listing
and/or qualification requirements and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory body
properly having jurisdiction, including but not limited to any securities exchange listing
agreement to which the Company may be a party, unless the Company or the Committee has received
evidence satisfactory to it that a prospective Grantee may acquire such shares pursuant to an
exemption from such registration requirements under applicable securities laws. Any determination
in this connection by the Company or the Committee shall be final, binding, and conclusive. The
Company reserves the right to legend any certificate for shares of Stock, conditioning sales of
such shares upon compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations.

     14. Restricted Stock Provisions: Shares of Stock issued on exercise of this Option may not be
sold or otherwise transferred or hypothecated so long as the Stock is restricted. Any certificates
evidencing shares of restricted Stock may contain such legends as the Company may deem necessary or
advisable to reflect and give effect to the restrictions imposed thereon under this Agreement or
the Plan.

     15. Notices: Any notice hereunder by the Grantee shall be given to the Company in writing and
such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof at the Company’s principal offices
located at 186 North Avenue East, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, or at such other address as the
Company may designate by notice to the Grantee. Any notice hereunder by the Company shall be given
to the Grantee in writing and such notice shall be deemed duly given only upon receipt thereof at
such address as the Grantee may have on file with the Company.

     16. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware, without reference to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

respect thereto. The Company and the Grantee have made no promises, agreements, conditions or
