                                      RIDER

                        GUARANTEED MINIMUM DEATH BENEFIT

  RIDER ISSUE DATE       09/01/2002                  POLICY NUMBER     9,000,000

 This Rider is attached to and made part of this Policy.

If, during the term of this Rider, the Net Cash Surrender Value of the Policy to
which it is attached is not sufficient to cover the monthly deductions, we will
determine if the Minimum Guarantee Premium has been paid. If the Minimum
Guarantee Premium has been paid while this Rider is in effect, the Policy will
not go into the Grace Period as described in the Policy. If the Minimum
Guarantee Premium has not been paid while this Rider is in effect, the Grace
Period will begin.

To determine whether the Minimum Guarantee Premium has been paid, the sum of the
premiums paid into the Policy less any partial withdrawals and outstanding loans
must equal or exceed the Minimum Guarantee Premium.

At the end of the Death Benefit Guarantee Period provided under this Rider, the
Net Cash Surrender Value may be insufficient to keep the Policy in force unless
an additional payment is made at that time.

DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE PERIOD. The Death Benefit Guarantee Period is shown on
page 3 of the Policy Schedule. The Death Benefit Guarantee Period begins on the
Policy Date as shown on page 3 of the Policy Schedule.

COST. The cost of this Rider is $0.01 per $1,000 of Face Amount of the Policy to
which this Rider is attached. This amount will be included in the monthly
deductions for the Policy. The monthly deduction for this Rider will cease upon
the termination of this Rider.

REINSTATEMENT. If this Rider was in force when the Policy lapsed, you may
reinstate this Rider with the Policy. No payment of past premiums is required to
reinstate this Rider. Additional premiums may be necessary so that the Minimum
Guarantee Premium is paid.

TERMINATION. This Rider will terminate:

   1. upon written request;

   2. upon surrender or other termination of the Policy to which it is attached;

   3. at the expiry of the Death Benefit Guarantee Period.

Attached by the Company on the issue date of this Rider.

                           EDISON CONTROL CORPORATION

                               INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     THIS INDEMNITY AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is by and between Edison Control
Corporation, a New Jersey corporation ("Company"), and Committee Member, a
member of the special committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
("Board"), created to consider, evaluate and negotiate with respect to the
potential going-private transaction proposed by William B. Finneran and Alan J.
Kastelic.

                                   WITNESSETH:

     A. WHEREAS, Mr. Finneran and Mr. Kastelic have proposed to the Board that
the Company declare a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock and cash
out any resulting fractional shares as part of a going-private transaction which
will result in the Company deregistering its common stock under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") and ceasing to be a public
reporting company under the Act (collectively, the "Going-Private Transaction").

     B. WHEREAS, the Board formed a special committee ("Special Committee")
consisting of the Company's independent board members, including the Committee
Member, in order to consider, evaluate and negotiate the terms of the potential
Going-Private Transaction with Mr. Finneran and Mr. Kastelic.

     C. WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee Member recognize that the
vagaries of public policy and the interpretation of, among other things, the New
Jersey Business Corporation Act, court opinions and the Company's certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, are often ambiguous, conflicting and/or uncertain and,
therefore, fail to provide the Special Committee members with adequate or
reliable advance knowledge or guidance with respect to the legal risks and
potential liabilities to which they may become personally exposed as a result of
performing their duties on behalf of the Board or by reason of their status as a
Committee Member.

     D. WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee Member are aware of the
substantial growth in the number of lawsuits filed against special committee
members in connection with their activities in such capacities and by reason of
their status as such and, in particular, those lawsuits appearing to be promoted
by attorneys who seem to encourage and specialize in the filing of such lawsuits
for the main purpose of seeking a settlement thereof in order to personally
collect attorneys' fees rather than attempting to obtain an equitable resolution
of such litigation that would ultimately be in the interests of the stockholders
of such corporation.

     E. WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee Member recognize that the cost of
defending against such lawsuits, whether or not meritorious, is typically well
beyond the financial resources of most special committee members.

<PAGE>

     F. WHEREAS, the Company and the Committee Member recognize that the legal
risks and potential liabilities, and the very threat thereof, associated with
lawsuits filed against special committee members, and the resultant substantial
time, expense, harassment, ridicule, abuse and anxiety spent and endured in
defending against such lawsuits bears no reasonable or logical relationship to
the amount of compensation received by special committee members and, thus,
poses a significant deterrent to experienced and capable individuals, such as
the Committee Member, agreeing to serve as a special committee member.

     G. WHEREAS, Title 14A of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act and the
Company's Bylaws, which set forth certain provisions relating to the mandatory
and permissive indemnification of directors and officers (amongst others) by the
Company, are specifically not exclusive of other rights to which those
indemnified thereunder may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise and, thus, does not by
itself limit the extent to which the Company may indemnify, contribute or
advance expenses to persons serving as members of a special committee (amongst
others).

     H. WHEREAS, in order to induce and encourage the independent members of the
Company's Board of Directors, including the Committee Member, to serve as
Special Committee members for the purpose of considering, evaluating and
negotiating the terms of the Going-Private Transaction and to foster an
atmosphere in which such Special Committee members will feel unrestrained by the
threat of incurring personal liability and will be secure in the knowledge that
they will receive the maximum indemnification protection against such risks and
liabilities as may be afforded by law, the Board has determined, after due
consideration and investigation of the terms and provisions of this Agreement,
in light of the circumstances and considerations set forth in the foregoing
recitals and in the exercise of the Board's good faith business judgment, that
this Agreement is not only reasonable, fair and prudent, but also necessary to
promote and ensure the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, mutual covenants and
agreements of the parties contained herein and the mutual benefits to be derived
from this Agreement, and the delivery of other good and valuable consideration
by the Committee Member, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged by the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby
covenant and agree as follows:

     1. Certain Definitions. The following terms as used in this Agreement shall
be defined as follows:

     predicated upon the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or the Act,
     and/or their respective state counterparts and/or any rule or regulation
     promulgated thereunder, whether a Derivative Action and whether formal or
     informal.

          b. "Affiliate" shall include, without limitation, any corporation,
     partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust, or other similar
     enterprise that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries,

          c. "Authority" shall mean the panel of arbitrators or independent
     legal counsel selected under Paragraph 5 of this Agreement.

          d. "Breach of Duty" shall mean the Committee Member breached or failed
     to perform his duties to the Company or an Affiliate, as the case may be,
     and the Committee Member's breach of or failure to perform those duties
     constitutes:

               (1) a breach of the Duty of Loyalty to the Company or its
          stockholders;

               (2) acts or omissions not in "good faith" (as further defined
          herein) or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
          of the law; or

               (3) a transaction from which the Committee Member derived an
          improper personal financial profit.

     In determining whether the Committee Member has acted or omitted to act
otherwise than in "good faith," as such term is used herein, the Authority, or
the court, shall determine solely whether the Committee Member (i) in the case
of conduct in his Official Capacity with the Company, believed in the exercise
of his business judgment, that his conduct was in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders; and (ii) in all other cases, reasonably believed
that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company
and its stockholders.

          e. "Derivative Action" shall mean any Action brought by or in the
     right of the Company and/or an Affiliate.

          f. "Duty of Loyalty" shall mean the fiduciary duty of the Committee
     Member to refrain from any act or omission which the Committee Member knows
     or believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Company or the
     Company's stockholders in connection with a matter in which the Committee
     Member has a material conflict of interest.

          g. "Expenses" shall include, without limitation, any and all expenses,
     fees, costs, charges, attorneys' fees and disbursements, other
     out-of-pocket costs, reasonable compensation for time spent by the
     Committee Member in connection with the Action for which he or she is not
     otherwise compensated by the Company, any Affiliate, any third party or
     other entity, and any and all other direct and indirect costs of any type
     or nature whatsoever.

          h. "Liabilities" shall include, without limitation, judgments, amounts
     incurred in settlement, fines, penalties and any and all liabilities of
     every type or nature whatsoever.

          i. "Official Capacity" shall mean the membership of the Committee
     Member on the Special Committee and any other employment or agency
     relationship between the Committee Member and the Company.

          j. "Statute" shall mean Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business
     Corporation Act (or any successor provisions).

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

          k. "Termination Date" shall mean the date the Committee Member ceases,
     for whatever reason, to serve as a Special Committee member, director or in
     an employment relationship with the Company and/or any Affiliate.

     2. Agreement to Serve. In consideration of the indemnity given by the
Company as set forth in Paragraph 3 and the other obligations of the Company as
set forth in this Agreement, the Committee Member hereby covenants and agrees to
serve as a Special Committee member and to devote all of the necessary time and
effort to the diligent and faithful performance of his duties as a Special
Committee member; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement
shall create or constitute a contract of employment between the Company and the
Committee Member, and the termination of the Committee Member's relationship
with the Company and/or any Affiliate by either party hereto shall not be
restricted by this Agreement.

     3. Indemnity.

          a. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in
     Paragraph 2 hereof and the consideration set forth in the recitals to this
     Agreement, in all cases other than those set forth in Paragraph 3b hereof,
     the Company hereby covenants and agrees, subject to the conditions and
     limitations set forth hereinafter in this Paragraph 3 and elsewhere in this
     Agreement, to indemnify and hold the Committee Member harmless if he is or
     was a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any Action by reason
     of his status as, or the fact that he is or was or has agreed to serve as a
     member of the Special Committee of the Company, and/or as to acts performed
     in the course of the Committee Member's duty to the Company and/or to an
     Affiliate, against Liabilities and reasonable Expenses incurred by or on
     behalf of the Committee Member in connection with any Action, including,
     without limitation, in connection with the investigation, defense,
     settlement or appeal of any Action; provided, however, that it is not
     determined by the Authority, or by a court, pursuant to Paragraph 5, that
     the Committee Member has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach
     of Duty.

          b. To the extent the Committee Member has been successful on the
     merits or otherwise in connection with any Action, including, without
     limitation, the settlement, dismissal, abandonment or withdrawal of any
     such Action where the Committee Member does not pay, incur or assume any
     material Liabilities, or in connection with any claim, issue or matter
     therein, he shall be indemnified by the Company against reasonable Expenses
     incurred by or on behalf of him in connection therewith. The Company shall
     pay such Expenses to the Committee Member (net of all Expenses, if any,
     previously advanced to the Committee Member pursuant to Paragraph 4), or to
     such other person or entity as the Committee Member may designate in
     writing to the Company, within ten (10) days after the receipt of the
     Committee Member's written request therefor, without regard to the
     provisions of Paragraph 5. In the event the Company refuses to pay such
     requested Expenses, the Committee Member may petition a court to order the
     Company to make such payment pursuant to Paragraph 6.

          c. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement to
     the contrary, the Company shall not:

               (1) indemnify, contribute or advance Expenses to the Committee
          Member with respect to any Action initiated or brought voluntarily by
          the Committee Member and not by way of defense, except with respect to
          Actions:

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                    (a) brought to establish or enforce a right to
               indemnification, contribution and/or an advance of Expenses under
               Paragraph 6 of this Agreement or under the Statute as it may then
               be in effect or any other applicable statute or law or otherwise
               as required;

                    (b) initiated or brought voluntarily by the Committee Member
               to the extent the Committee Member is successful on the merits or
               otherwise in connection with such Action in accordance with and
               pursuant to Paragraph 3b of this Agreement; or

                    (c) as to which the Board determines it to be appropriate.

          (2) indemnify the Committee Member under this Agreement for any
     amounts paid in settlement for any Action effected without the Company's
     written consent.

     The Company shall not settle any Action in any manner which would impose
any Liabilities or other type of limitation on the Committee Member without the
Committee Member's written consent. Neither the Company nor the Committee Member
shall unreasonably withhold their consent to any proposed settlement.

     4. Advance Payment of Expenses.

          a. The Company shall pay to the Committee Member, or such other person
     or entity as the Committee Member may designate in writing to the Company,
     in advance of the final disposition or conclusion of any Action (or claim,
     issue or matter associated with such Action), the Committee Member's
     reasonable Expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Committee Member in
     connection with such Action (or claim, issue or matter associated with any
     such Action), within ten (10) days after the receipt of Committee Member's
     written request therefor; provided, the following conditions are satisfied:

               (1) the Committee Member has first requested an advance of such
          Expenses in writing (and delivered a copy of such request to the
          Company) from the insurance carrier(s), if any, to whom a claim has
          been reported under an applicable insurance policy purchased by the
          Company and each such insurance carrier, if any, has declined to make
          such an advance;

               (2) the Committee Member furnishes to the Company an executed
          written statement affirming his good faith belief that he has not
          engaged in misconduct constituting a Breach of Duty; and

               (3) the Committee Member furnishes to the Company an executed
          written agreement to repay any advances made under this Paragraph 4 if
          it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified
          by the Company for such Expenses pursuant to this Agreement.

          b. In the event the Company makes an advance payment of Expenses to
     the Committee Member pursuant to this Paragraph 4, the Company shall be
     subrogated to every right of recovery the Committee Member may have against
     any insurance carrier from whom the Company has purchased insurance for
     such purpose.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

     5. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

          a. Except as otherwise set forth in this Paragraph 5 or in Paragraph
     3c, any indemnification to be provided to the Committee Member by the
     Company under Paragraph 3a of this Agreement upon the final disposition or
     conclusion of any Action, or a claim, issue or matter associated with any
     such Action, unless otherwise ordered by a court, shall be paid by the
     Company to the Committee Member (net of all Expenses, if any, previously
     advanced to the Committee Member pursuant to Paragraph 4), or to such other
     person or entity as the Committee Member may designate in writing to the
     Company within sixty (60) days after the receipt of Committee Member's
     written request therefor. Such request shall include an accounting of all
     amounts for which indemnification is being sought. No further corporate
     authorization for such payment shall be required other than this Paragraph
     5a.

          b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of such requested
     indemnifiable amounts pursuant to Paragraph 3a may be denied by the Company
     in the event:

               (1) the Board by a majority vote thereof determines that the
          Committee Member engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of
          Duty; or

               (2) a majority of the Board are parties in interest to such
          Action.

     In either event of nonpayment, the Board shall immediately authorize and
direct, by resolution, that an independent determination be made as to whether
the Committee Member engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty
and, therefore, whether indemnification of the Committee Member is proper
pursuant to this Agreement.

          c. Such independent determination shall be made, at the option of the
     Committee Member, by either (i) a panel of three arbitrators (selected as
     set forth in Paragraph 5e from the panels of arbitrators of the American
     Arbitration Association) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration
     Rules of the American Arbitration Association then prevailing; (ii) an
     independent legal counsel selected by the Committee Member and the Board by
     a majority vote of a quorum thereof; or (iii) a court in accordance with
     Paragraph 6 of this Agreement.

          d. In any such determination, there shall exist a rebuttable
     presumption that the Committee Member has not engaged in misconduct which
     constitutes a Breach of Duty and, therefore, is entitled to indemnification
     pursuant to this Agreement. The burden of rebutting such presumption by
     clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Company and/or any other
     party challenging such indemnification.

          e. In the event a panel of arbitrators is to be selected hereunder,
     one of such arbitrators shall be selected by the Company, the second by the
     Committee Member and the third by the previous two arbitrators. The
     arbitration shall be conducted in New York City, New York.

          f. The Authority shall make its independent determination hereunder
     within sixty (60) days of being selected and shall simultaneously submit a
     written opinion of its conclusions to the Company and the Committee Member.

          g. In the event the Authority determines that the Committee Member is
     entitled to be indemnified for any amounts pursuant to this Agreement, the
     Company shall pay

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

     such amounts to the Committee Member (net of all Expenses, if any,
     previously advanced to the Committee Member pursuant to Paragraph 4),
     including interest thereon as provided in Paragraph 8c, or to such other
     person or entity as the Committee Member may designate in writing to the
     Company, within ten (10) days of receipt of such opinion.

          h. The Expenses associated with the indemnification process set forth
     in this Paragraph 5, including, without limitation, the Expenses of the
     Authority or court selected hereunder, shall be paid by the Company.

     6. Court-Ordered Indemnification and Advance for Expenses.

          a. The Committee Member may, either before or within two years after a
     determination, if any, has been made by the Authority selected under
     Paragraph 5c, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to determine
     whether or not he has engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of
     Duty and therefore, whether he is entitled to indemnification under this
     Agreement. Such court shall thereupon have the exclusive authority to make
     such determination unless and until such court dismisses or otherwise
     terminates such proceeding without having made such determination. The
     Committee Member may petition a court under this Paragraph 6 either to seek
     an initial determination by the court as authorized by Paragraph 5c or to
     seek review by the court of a previous adverse determination by the
     Authority.

          b. The court shall make its independent determination irrespective of
     any prior determination made by the Authority; provided, however, that
     there shall exist a rebuttable presumption that the Committee Member has
     not engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty and,
     therefore, is entitled to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of
     this Agreement. The burden of rebutting such presumption by clear and
     convincing evidence shall be on the Company or such other party challenging
     such indemnification.

          c. In the event the court determines that the Committee Member has
     engaged in misconduct which constitutes a Breach of Duty, it may
     nonetheless order indemnification to be paid by the Company if it
     determines that the Committee Member is fairly and reasonably entitled to
     indemnification in view of all of the circumstances of such Action.

          d. In the event the Company does not (i) advance requested Expenses to
     the Committee Member within ten (10) days of the Committee Member's
     compliance with Paragraph 4; (ii) indemnify the Committee Member with
     respect to Liabilities and reasonable Expenses under Paragraph 5b within
     sixty (60) days of Committee Member's written request therefor, for a
     reason other than those identified in Paragraph 5b; or (iii) indemnify the
     Committee Member with respect to requested Expenses under Paragraph 3b
     within ten (10) days of Committee Member's written request therefor, the
     Committee Member may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to order
     the Company to pay such reasonable Expenses immediately. Such court, after
     giving any notice the court considers necessary, shall order the Company to
     pay such Expenses if it determines that the Committee Member has complied
     with the applicable provisions of Paragraph 4, 5a or 3b, as the case may
     be.

          e. In the event the court determines that the Committee Member is
     entitled to be indemnified for any Liabilities and/or Expenses, or to
     receive the advancement of Expenses, pursuant to this Agreement, unless
     otherwise ordered by such court, the Company shall pay such Liabilities
     and/or Expenses to the Committee Member (net of all Expenses, if any,
     previously

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

     advanced to the Committee Member pursuant to Paragraph 4), including
     reasonable interest thereon as provided in Paragraph 8c, or to such other
     person or entity as the Committee Member may designate in writing to the
     Company, within ten (10) days of the rendering of such determination.

          f. The Committee Member shall pay all Expenses incurred by the
     Committee Member in connection with any judicial determination provided in
     this Paragraph 6, unless it shall ultimately be determined by the court
     that he is entitled, in whole or in part, to be indemnified by, or to
     receive advances from, the Company as authorized by this Agreement. All
     Expenses incurred by the Committee Member in connection with any subsequent
     appeal of any judicial determination provided for in this Paragraph 6 shall
     be paid by the Committee Member regardless of the disposition of such
     appeal.

     7. Termination of an Action Nonconclusive. The adverse termination of any
Action against the Committee Member by judgment, order, settlement, conviction
or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the Committee Member has engaged in misconduct which
constitutes a Breach of Duty.

     8. Partial Indemnification; Reasonableness; Interest.

          a. In the event it is determined by the Authority, or by a court, that
     the Committee Member is entitled to indemnification as to some claims,
     issues or matters, but not as to other claims, issues or matters involved
     in any Action, the Authority, or the court, shall authorize the reasonable
     proration and payment by the Company of such Liabilities and/or reasonable
     Expenses, with respect to which indemnification is sought by the Committee
     Member, among such claims, issues or matters as the Authority, or the
     court, shall deem appropriate in light of all of the circumstances of such
     Action.

          b. In the event it is determined by the Authority, or by a court, that
     certain Expenses incurred by the Committee Member are, for whatever reason,
     unreasonable in amount, the Authority, or the court, shall nonetheless
     authorize indemnification to be paid by the Company to the Committee Member
     for such Expenses as the Authority, or the court, shall deem reasonable in
     light of all of the circumstances of such Action.

          c. Interest shall be paid by the Company to the Committee Member, to
     the extent deemed appropriate by the Authority, or a court, at a reasonable
     interest rate, for amounts for which the Company indemnifies or advances to
     the Committee Member.

     9. Insurance; Subrogation.

          a. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the
     Committee Member against any Liability and/or Expense asserted against him
     and/or incurred by or on behalf of him in such capacity as a Special
     Committee member or other employee or agent of the Company and/or of an
     Affiliate, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company
     would have the power to indemnify him against such Liability or advance of
     Expenses under the provisions of this Agreement or under the Statute as it
     may then be in effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the purchase
     and maintenance of such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect the
     rights and obligations of the Company and/or the Committee Member under
     this Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
     Company and the Committee

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

     Member shall not in any way be construed to limit or affect the rights and
     obligations of the Company and/or of the other party or parties thereto
     under any such policy or agreement of insurance.

          b. In the event the Committee Member shall receive payment from any
     insurance carrier and/or from the plaintiff in any Action against the
     Committee Member in respect of indemnified amounts after payments on
     account of all or part of such indemnified amounts have been made by the
     Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Committee Member shall promptly
     reimburse the Company for the amount, if any, by which the sum of such
     payment by such insurance carrier and/or such plaintiff and payments by the
     Company to the Committee Member exceeds such indemnified amounts.

          c. In addition, upon payment by the Company of indemnified amounts
     under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the Committee
     Member's right against any insurance carrier in respect of such indemnified
     amounts and the Committee Member shall execute and deliver any and all
     instruments and/or documents and perform any and all other acts or deeds
     which the Company deems necessary or advisable to secure such rights. The
     Committee Member shall do nothing to prejudice such rights of recovery or
     subrogation.

     10. Witness Expenses. The Company shall pay in advance or reimburse any and
all reasonable Expenses incurred by the Committee Member in connection with his
appearance as a witness in any Action at a time when he has not been formally
named a defendant or respondent to such an Action, within ten (10) days after
the receipt of the Committee Member's written request therefor.

     11. Contribution.

          a. Subject to the limitations of this Paragraph 11, in the event the
     indemnity provided for in Paragraph 3 of this Agreement is unavailable to
     the Committee Member for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of
     indemnifying the Committee Member, shall contribute to the amount incurred
     by or on behalf of the Committee Member, whether for Liabilities and/or for
     reasonable Expenses in connection with any Action, in such proportion as is
     deemed fair and reasonable by the Authority, or by a court, in light of all
     of the circumstances of such Action in order to reflect:

               (1) the relative benefits received by the Company and its
          stockholders and the Committee Member as a result of the event(s)
          and/or transaction(s) giving cause to such Action; and/or

               (2) the relative fault of the Company (and its other executives,
          employees and/or agents) and the Committee Member in connection with
          such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

          b. The relative fault of the Company (and its other executives,
     employees and/or agents), on the one hand, and of the Committee Member, on
     the other hand, shall be determined by reference to among other things, the
     parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
     to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such Liabilities
     and/or Expenses. The Company and the Committee Member agree that it would
     not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Paragraph 11
     were determined by pro rata allocation or

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

     any other method of allocation which does not take into account the
     foregoing equitable considerations.

          c. The Committee Member shall not be entitled to contribution from the
     Company under this Paragraph 11 in the event it is determined by the
     Authority, or by a court, that the Committee Member engaged in misconduct
     which constitutes a Breach of Duty, unless a court determines that the
     Committee Member is fairly and reasonably entitled to contribution for
     Liabilities and/or reasonable Expenses.

          d. The Company's payment of, and the Committee Member's right to,
     contribution under this Paragraph 11 shall be made and determined in
     accordance with, pursuant to and in the same manner as, the provisions in
     Paragraph 5 and/or 6 hereof relating to the Company's payment of, and the
     Committee Member's right to, indemnification under this Agreement.

     12. Nonexclusivity of Agreement. The rights to indemnification,
contribution and the advancement of Expenses provided to the Committee Member by
this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the
Committee Member may be entitled under any charter provision, bylaw, agreement,
resolution, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of the Company or
otherwise, including, without limitation, under the Statute as it may then be in
effect, both as to acts in his Official Capacity as a special committee member,
executive or other employee or agent of the Company and/or of an Affiliate or as
to acts in any other capacity while holding such office or position, whether or
not the Company would otherwise have the power to indemnify, contribute or
advance Expenses to the Committee Member.

     13. Notice to the Company; Defense of Actions.

          a. The Committee Member agrees to promptly notify the Company in
     writing upon being served with or having actual knowledge of any
     correspondence, citation, summons, complaint, indictment or any other
     similar document relating to any Action which may result in a claim of
     indemnification, contribution or advancement hereunder, but the omission so
     to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which
     it may have to the Committee Member under this Agreement unless the Company
     shall have been irreparably prejudiced by such omission.

          b. With respect to any such Action as to which the Committee Member
     notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

               (1) The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its
          own expense; and

               (2) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may
          wish, the Company (or any other indemnifying party, including any
          insurance carrier, similarly notified by the Committee Member and/or
          the Company) shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with
          counsel selected by the Company (or such other indemnifying party) and
          reasonably satisfactory to the Committee Member.

          c. After notice from the Company (or such other indemnifying party) to
     the Committee Member of the Company's (or such other indemnifying party)
     election to assume the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

     defense of an Action, the Company (or such other indemnifying party) shall
     not be liable to the Committee Member under this Agreement for any Expenses
     subsequently incurred by the Committee Member in connection with the
     defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation or as
     otherwise provided below. The Committee Member shall have the right to
     employ his counsel in such Action but the Expenses of such counsel incurred
     after notice from the Company (or such other indemnifying party) of its
     assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of the Committee
     Member unless (i) the employment of counsel by the Committee Member has
     been authorized by the Company; (ii) the Committee Member shall have
     reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
     Company (or such other indemnifying party) and the Committee Member in the
     conduct of the defense of such Action; or (iii) the Company (or such other
     indemnifying party) shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the
     defense of such Action, in each of which cases the Expenses of counsel
     shall be at the expense of the Company. The Company shall not be entitled
     to assume the defense of any Derivative Action or any Action as to which
     the Committee Member shall have made the conclusion provided for in clause
     (ii) above.

     14. Continuation of Rights and Obligations. Subject to Paragraph 16, the
terms and provisions of this Agreement shall continue as to the Committee Member
subsequent to the Termination Date, and such terms and provisions shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors, estate and administrators of the Committee
Member and the successors and assigns of the Company, including, without
limitation, any successor to the Company by way of merger, consolidation and/or
sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or capital stock
of the Company. Except as provided herein, all rights and obligations of the
Company and the Committee Member hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect despite the subsequent amendment or modification of the Company's
certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as such are in effect on the date
hereof, and such rights and obligations shall not be affected by any such
amendment or modification, any resolution of directors or stockholders of the
Company, or by any other corporate action which conflicts with or purports to
amend, modify, limit or eliminate any of the rights or obligations of the
Company and/or of the Committee Member hereunder.

     15. Amendment. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented
by the written agreement of the Company and the Committee Member.

     16. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by the Company or the
Committee Member without the prior written consent of the other party hereto;
provided, however, that no permitted assignment shall release the Company from
its obligations hereunder.

     17. Governing Law. All matters with respect to this Agreement, including,
without limitation, matters of validity, construction, effect and performance
shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey applicable to
contracts made and to be performed therein between the residents thereof,
without reference to its conflict of law rules.

     18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more fully or
partially executed counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original
binding the signer thereof against the other signing parties, but all
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Executed
signature pages may be removed from counterpart agreements and attached to one
or more fully executed copies of this Agreement.

     19. Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience and
reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or

     20. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed
invalid or inoperative, or in the event a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that any of the provisions of this Agreement contravene public policy
in any way, this Agreement shall be construed so that the remaining provisions
shall not be affected, but shall remain in full force and effect, and any such
provisions which are invalid or inoperative or which contravene public policy
shall be deemed, without further action or deed on the part of any person, to be
modified, amended and/or limited, but only to the limited extent necessary to
render the same valid and enforceable, and the Company shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Committee Member against Liabilities and reasonable Expenses with
respect to any Action to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable
provision of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated and otherwise
to the fullest extent otherwise permitted by the Statute as it may then be in
effect.

     21. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have
