Dear  Mr.  Orcutt:

     In  recognition  of  your services, New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. (the
"Company")  shall,  in  the  event  that  your  employment  with  the Company is
involuntarily  terminated  for  any  reason  after the occurrence of a Change in
Control  (as  defined below), pay to you an amount equal to 200% of your current
annual base salary at the time of such termination.  The payment will be made in
a  single  sum  within  30  days  of  your  termination  of  employment.

For  the  purposes of this agreement "Change of Control" generally is defined to
take  place  when  disclosure  of  such  a  change  would be required by rule(s)
promulgated  by  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission or when either (i) a
person  (other than a current officer or director nominated, selected or elected
by  the  board)  acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in SEC Rule 13d-3) of
25%  or  more  of  the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities,
(ii) less than a majority of the directors are persons who were either nominated
or  selected  by  the  current  board,  (iii)  a  merger tender offer or sale or
exchange  of  securities involving the Company occurs which results in ownership
of  more  than  50%  of  the  Company's  voting stock by a holder or holders not
currently  owning  more  than  10%  of  the  outstanding  shares of stock of the
Company,  or  (iv) a plan of liquidation or sale of substantially all the assets
of  the  Company  occurs.

Following  a  Change  in  Control,  in  addition  to  actual termination of your
employment  by  the  Company,  you will be considered to have been involuntarily
terminated if you resign after any of the following occurs: a material reduction
in  your  responsibilities  or  authority  which  is expected to last or in fact
continues for more than one month; a reassignment to another geographic location
more  than 50 miles from 44 Talmadge Road, Edison, New Jersey; a reduction of at
least  5%  in  your  compensation;  abusive or demeaning conduct toward you that
amounts  to  a  constructive  discharge under the common law of the State of New
Jersey; or failure by a successor employer following a sale, merger, exchange or
other  disposition  of the Company, or any subsidiary, facility, or operation at
which  you  are  employed  to  assume  the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement.

Nothing  contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon you the right to
continue  in the employ of the Company as an executive or in any other capacity.

                                        1

Any  severance pay benefits payable under this letter shall not be deemed salary
or  other compensation to you for the purpose of computing benefits to which you
may  be  entitled under any pension plan or other arrangement of the Company for
the  benefit  of  its  employees.

You  shall  be  responsible  for payment of any tax liability which results from
payment to you of any amount under this letter.  Any payment(s) shall be subject
to Federal, State and local withholding rules in effect at the time a payment is
made.

The  parties  hereto agree that this Agreement shall supercede any and all other
agreements  between  the  parties  relating  to  severance  pay.

             ------------------------

insurance programs which may be generally available to other executive employees
of  the  Compan-y,  subject  to  Section  3.1(c).

     (b)     Following  termination  of Freedman's services to the Company as an

the  Company  shall  pay all premiums necessary to continue the medical and life
insurance  coverage previously provided to Freedman and his spouse under Section
3.1(a),  or  other  comparable  coverage,  until  the  death of Freedman and his
spouse.  However, following his period of service as an employee of the Company,
in  place  of  the  health  insurance  plan  generally  available  for executive
employees  of the Company, the Company shall thereafter provide for Freedman and
for  his  spouse  a  policy  of  medical  insurance  that  offers  coverage as a
supplement  to Medicare benefits.  The basic terms of such policy shall provide,
in  conjunction  with  Medicare,  benefits  that  are comparable to the coverage
previously  provided  to  Freedman  as  an  executive  employee  of the Company.

beneficia-ries  or  other  succes-sors,  for any amount payable or claimed to be
payable under any plan of insurance.  So long as Freedman beneficially holds 10%
or  more  of  the  Common  stock  of  the  Company,  he shall not be eligible to
participate  in  any  plan  of  the  Company  involving  the Common stock or any
derivative  security  of  the  Company  (although  otherwise eligible) where his
participation  in  that  plan  would  prevent  the  Common  stock  or derivative
securities  issued  under  that plan from qualifying for exemption under Section
16(b)  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  as  amended.

     3.2     HOLIDAYS  AND  SICK LEAVE.  Freedman shall be entitled to such paid

to  Freedman to be used for payment of such expen-ses, or reimburse Freedman for
such  expenses  incurred  by him.  Freedman agrees to submit to the Company such
documen-tation  as may be reasonably necessary to substantiate that all expenses
paid  or  reimbursed hereunder were reasonably related to the performance of his
duties.

                  ---------------          ------------
that  Freedman  -requires  the  use  of  an automobile in the performance of his
duties  and  therefore  agrees to furnish an automobile to Freedman for his sole
use.  Title  to such automobile shall at all times remain with the Company.  The
automobile  will  be  replaced upon request by Freedman, but not more frequently
than  every  three  (3)  years.  The  Company shall pay for the fuel, insurance,
maintenance,  and  repair costs associated with said automobile, except the cost
of  fuel  consumed in driving the automobile for personal use.  Upon termination
of  this  Agreement  for  any  reason,  the  automobile shall be returned to the
Company  unless  Freedman-  elects,  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  such
termina-tion,  to  purchase  the  automobile  from  the  Company.  Any  purchase
pur-suant to the preceding sentence shall be at book value unless a lesser price
is  mutually  agreed  to and shall be completed within sixty (60) days after the
termination  of  this  Agreement.

     3.6     SPLIT-DOLLAR  INSURANCE  COVERAGE.  The  Company  and  Freedman are
             ---------------------------------
currently  parties to a split-dollar life insurance agreement, providing for the
division  of  rights  and  obligations  in  connection with a One Million Dollar
($1,000,000.00)  life  insurance  policy  on  Freedman's life.   The Company and
Freedman  hereby  ratify  that  agreement  and  further  provide that, following
termination  of this Agreement and for remainder of Freedman's life, the Company
will  continue  to contribute the sum of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) (or
the  actual  amount  of  the  premiums,  whichever  is less) towards each annual
premium  due under such policy, or replacement policy obtained by Freedman.  The
Company,  following  the  termination of this Agreement, will permit Freedman to
borrow against the cash surrender value of the policy, in order to pay his share
of  the  premiums.  The Company's contribution following the termination of this
Agreement  shall  be  taken  into account in determining the amount to which the
Company  is  entitled to receive from the policy proceeds upon Freedman's death.
Except, as specifically set forth in this Section 3.6, all matters regarding the
insurance  policy  shall  be  governed  by  the  terms  of the split-dollar life
insurance  agreement  pertaining  to  the  policy.

Company  to  Freedman  at the time of such retirement, which shall be payable to
Freedman,  or  his personal representative, over 36 months in equal installments

designated,  then  to  Freedman's  personal  representative.
