                                SECOND AMENDMENT

                                       TO

                    AMENDED AND RESTATED OPERATING AGREEMENT

                                       OF

                       VAN DER MOOLEN SPECIALISTS USA, LLC

         SECOND AMENDMENT, dated May 1, 2004 (the "AMENDMENT"), to the Amended
and Restated Operating Agreement, dated February 1, 2004, as amended by that
certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, dated April
1, 2004 (as so amended, the "OPERATING AGREEMENT"), of Van der Moolen
Specialists USA, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), by
and among the entity and individuals listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a
"MEMBER" and collectively, the "MEMBERS"). Capitalized terms used but not
defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Operating Agreement;

         WHEREAS, the Members wish to amend the Operating Agreement of the
Company to effect certain changes as set forth herein.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, the Members hereby agree
as follows:

          1. Section 4.7 is hereby deleted and the following new Section 4.7
shall be substituted therefor:

         "Section 4.7. SALARIES. There shall be a "Base Salary Pool" in respect
of each calendar year in an amount equal to the sum of (i) $* times the number
of Members (other than MB) at the beginning of such year plus (ii) *% of the
Individual Members Capital Balance (as such term is defined below). The amount
of the Base Salary Pool shall be paid as salaries to the Members (other than MB)
in such amounts as may from time to time be determined by the Management

<PAGE>

Committee, and shall be treated as guaranteed payments for tax purposes. If a
Member (other than MB) should become a Terminated Member, the amount of the Base
Salary Pool shall be reduced by the amount of the unpaid annual base salary that
such Terminated Member would have received from the Base Salary Pool in the year
in which his Termination Date occurs. The amount of the Base Salary Pool may be
increased from time to time by the Management Committee. As used herein,
"Individual Members Capital Balance" shall mean, with respect to each calendar
year, the product of (x) the Company's Stated Capital, reduced by the aggregate
amount of deficiencies in other capital accounts of the Members (other than MB),
times (y) the aggregate Profit and Loss Percentages of all Members (other than
MB)."

          2. The first sentence of Section 4.9 is hereby deleted and the
following shall be substituted therefor:

         "MB shall receive from the Company a Support Fee ("SUPPORT FEE") in
respect of each calendar year in an amount equal to (A) the product of (i) the
MB Capital Account Percentage, times (ii) the Company's Stated Capital at the
beginning of such year, times (iii) 10%, minus (B) the product of (x) the
aggregate amount of deficiencies, if any, in other capital accounts of MB, times
(y) 10%."

          3. Schedule A to the Operating Agreement is hereby deleted and
Schedule A annexed to this Amendment as Exhibit I shall be substituted
therefor.

          4. In all other respects the Operating Agreement is hereby ratified
and confirmed in its entirety.

date and year first written above.

                    CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT

      CONSULTING AND NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated May 7,
2004, by and between Schick Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its
principal place of business at 30-00 47th Avenue, Long Island City, New York
11101 (the "Company"), and David B. Schick, residing at 147-48 69th Road,
Flushing, New York 11367 (the "Consultant"), and, solely for purposes of Section
1(a) hereof, Curtis M. Rocca III, whose principal place of business is 2998
Douglas Boulevard, Suite 300, Roseville, California 95661, as escrow agent
("Rocca").

                                    RECITALS

      WHEREAS, the Company and Consultant are willing to terminate by mutual
agreement the Employment Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2001, as amended,
between the Company and Consultant (the "Employment Agreement"), pursuant to
which Consultant has acted as Chief Executive Officer of the Company up to the
Resignations Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined);

      WHEREAS, Consultant has demonstrated extensive technical and scientific
knowledge, skill and expertise in connection with the design, development and
manufacture of digital radiographic imaging systems and devices for the dental
and medical markets;

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the benefit of such knowledge,
skill and expertise to assist it in connection with the conduct of the business
of the Company;

      WHEREAS, the Company also desires to secure Consultant's agreement not to
compete with the Company under the circumstances and for the time periods
described in this Agreement and Consultant agrees not to compete with the
Company under such circumstances and for the time periods as described herein;
and

      WHEREAS, the Company is willing to compensate Consultant for his services
as a consultant to the Company, together with his non-competition covenants, all
upon the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the compensation paid hereunder, the
mutual covenants, agreements and promises hereinafter set forth, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
agreed and acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree as follows:

      1. Resignations.

            (a) Escrow. Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement,
Consultant has delivered his executed but undated resignations as Chief
Executive Officer of the

<PAGE>

Company, as Chairman of the Board, and as a member of the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Resignations") as attached as Exhibit A hereto, to Rocca, who
shall hold the Resignations in escrow. Consultant hereby authorizes Rocca to
date the Resignations and to deliver them out of escrow to the Company in
accordance with the provision contained in the Resignations (the date of such
delivery being hereinafter referred to as the "Resignations Delivery Date"). The
Company shall give written notice to the Consultant promptly after the delivery
of the Resignations to the Company, but the failure to give such notice shall be
without liability to the Company unless the Consultant has been prejudiced by
the failure to receive such notice. The Company and Consultant hereby indemnify
and hold harmless Rocca from any damages, losses, claims or any other matters
whatsoever with respect to his acting as escrow agent herein.

      (b) Termination of the Employment Agreement. As of the Resignations
Delivery Date, the Employment Agreement shall be of no further force and effect,
and all rights and obligations of the parties thereto, including, without
limitation, those set forth in Section V thereof, shall be extinguished. In
consideration of the performance by the Company of its covenants in this
Agreement, Consultant, knowingly and voluntarily, agrees that Consultant,
Consultant's heirs, successors, and representatives, and any person or entity
acting for, through or on behalf of Consultant, permanently release, waive,
acquit and forever discharge the Company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and
their respective present and former officers, directors, employees,
representatives and agents, along with their successors, heirs and assigns
("Released Parties") from any and all claims, allegations, complaints,
proceedings, charges, actions, debts, covenants, contracts, demands, causes of
action, liabilities or damages of any kind which Consultant may now have or at
any time heretofore had, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, attributable to
or arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the Released
Parties (other than the rights or claims that arise under this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the rights provided for indemnification described
in Section 13 hereof), from the beginning of time to the date of this Agreement,
it being the intention of the parties to make this release as broad and as
general as the law permits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, Consultant shall be entitled to receive any wages or bonuses accrued and
unpaid as of the Resignations Delivery Date as provided for in the Employment
Agreement at such times as they shall be payable to him thereunder.

2. Consulting Services.

      (a) Duties. For the three-year period (or such shorter period in the event
of early termination in accordance with Section 9 hereof) commencing on the
Resignations Delivery Date (the "Consulting Term"), Consultant shall act as a
consultant to the Company and shall report directly to the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company (the "CEO") or to such other individual(s) as the CEO may
designate in his sole and absolute discretion. Consultant shall be responsible
to perform the following duties for the benefit of the Company (collectively,
the "Consulting Services"):

            (i) explore and evaluate new product ideas and enhancements or
extensions to existing products;

<PAGE>

            (ii) troubleshoot technical issues associated with Company products
and products under development, as requested by the CEO, and recommend
appropriate solutions;

            (iii) review and comment (orally or in writing, as may be requested
for each particular project) on system requirements documents, design documents,
QC and testing procedures, and other technical issues as may be requested by the
CEO;

            (iv) prepare for the CEO on a timely basis (as determined by the
CEO) a quarterly written report and provide oral reports from time to time as
shall be requested by the CEO covering: industry trends; competition; analysis
of Company product development issues; technical strategic alternatives; new
product ideas that may be relevant or applicable to the Company; and
technological advancements that may be relevant to the Company's products or
market position;

            (v) provide in a timely manner (as determined by the CEO) such other
reports as may be reasonably requested by the CEO for specific projects;

            (vi) attend engineering meetings and design reviews at the
invitation of the CEO;

            (vii) evaluate technical issues relating to potential products or
entity acquisitions;

            (viii) conduct specific research and development projects as
requested by the CEO, and accept responsibility for providing agreed upon
deliverables within agreed timelines;

            (ix) provide advice with respect to intellectual property issues
with respect to the Company or its technology, as requested by the CEO; and

            (x) perform such other services as may be reasonably requested by
the CEO.

      (b) Time Commitment; Availability. Consultant shall provide the Consulting
Services to the Company for at least one hundred forty (140) hours per calendar
quarter. Consultant shall use his reasonable best efforts to provide the
Consulting Services at times reasonably requested by the Company, Monday through
Friday, excluding Company-observed holidays. The Company acknowledges that
Consultant may from time to time have other clients and that, as a result of the
needs of other clients and other personal or professional responsibilities,
Consultant may have scheduling conflicts that will render him unavailable to
provide the Consulting Services at certain times.

      (c) Location. Except with the prior written consent of the CEO, Consultant
shall not perform the Consulting Services on the premises of the Company

<PAGE>

other than those Consulting Services that in the sole discretion of the Company
must be performed on such premises. As soon as reasonably practicable after the
Resignations Delivery Date, Consultant shall be responsible for establishing a
place of business in a location of Consultant's choosing from which Consultant
will perform the Consulting Services generally. Consultant shall bear the cost
of all expenses relating to Consultant's place of business. The Company shall
not bear any transportation costs relating to Consultant's transportation to or
from the Company's premises, except with the prior written approval of the CEO.

            Company Policies. During the Consulting Term, Consultant agrees to
comply with all policies of the Company applicable to him in effect from time to
time.

      3. Compensation and Benefits

      (a) Consulting and Non-Competition Payment. Subject to Section 9 hereof,
the Company shall pay to Consultant, and Consultant shall accept from the
Company, in full payment for the Consulting Services rendered to the Company and
for Consultant's non-competition and other covenants made in this Agreement, an
amount equal to $1,020,000 (the "Fee"), payable in arrears in thirty-six equal
monthly payments. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Fee provided for
herein is in full consideration of the performance by Consultant of the
Consulting Services and the adherence by Consultant to the restrictions of the
non-competition and other covenants and that the parties have not attempted to
allocate the Fee so as to specify what portion thereof is allocable to the
Consulting Services and the non-competition and other covenants. In all
circumstances, including the possible early termination of the Consulting
Services under the circumstances set forth in Section 9(b) or (c) hereof,
Consultant acknowledges as reasonable the sum of (i) the remaining payments to
him, if any, in such circumstances, (ii) the partial payment of the Fee already
received by him prior to such termination, and (iii) the provisions of Section 8
hereof, in consideration of his continued adherence to the restrictions of the
non-competition covenants for the remainder of the Restriction Period (as
hereinafter defined).

      (b) Health Insurance. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts,
without incurring additional expense, to permit Consultant to participate in the
Company's health insurance plan (or a materially similar plan); provided,
however, that Consultant agrees to reimburse the Company for all costs
associated therewith. Nothing contained herein shall restrict Consultant's (and
his dependents') eligibility to instead elect COBRA and other continuation
coverages on the same terms afforded other terminating employees of the Company.

      (c) Company Car. Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable
lease, Consultant shall have the option, exercisable during the 30 days after
the Resignations Delivery Date, to assume the lease for the car leased by the
Company and used by Consultant during his term of employment with the Company
(the "Company Car"), and

<PAGE>

to transfer the liability for such lease into Consultant's name or,
alternatively, to return the Company Car to the Company.

      (d) Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall
reimburse Consultant for all of his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in the discharge of the Consulting Services, consistent with Company policy as
to reimbursable expenses and upon submission of appropriate documentation;
provided, however, that any such expenses in excess of two hundred dollars will
not be reimbursed unless the written approval of the CEO has been obtained prior
to the incurrence of such expense.

      (e) No Other Benefits or Perquisites. Consultant shall be entitled to no
other benefits or perquisites other than those provided for in this Section 3
hereof.

      4. Independent Contractor. Consultant and the Company agree that for the
purposes of this Agreement, Consultant shall be an independent contractor and
not an employee of the Company. Except as set forth in Section 3, Consultant
shall not be entitled to any salary or other compensation from the Company and
will not receive any sick, holiday or vacation pay from the Company. The Company
shall not withhold income taxes or pay social security or unemployment taxes for
Consultant. Consultant shall be responsible for all income and other tax
liability arising out of this Agreement and his status as a consultant to the
Company.

      5. Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement.

            (a) Non-Competition. Consultant hereby covenants and agrees that,
from the Resignations Delivery Date until two years after the last day of the
Consulting Term (the "Restriction Period"), Consultant shall not engage or
become interested in any way (whether as an owner, stockholder, partner, lender,
investor, director, officer, employee, consultant or otherwise) ("Become
Interested") in any activity, business or enterprise, located within the
geographical area of the United States or Canada, that is competitive with
medical imaging or dental products ("Competitive Business"), provided that
Consultant shall not be restricted herein from performing services for an
enterprise that conducts a Competitive Business if the services he provides for
such enterprise do not relate to the Competitive Business and if the part of the
enterprise in which he performs the services is not engaged in the Competitive
Business. By way of illustration and not limitation, Consultant shall not Become
Interested during the Restriction Period in any activity, business or enterprise
involving digital x-ray products, dental products, or medical imaging products.
The Company may waive compliance with the prohibition contained in this Section
5(a) in its sole discretion upon (i) written request therefor by the Consultant,
which written request in sufficient detail shall be made prior to the Consultant
Becoming Interested in the prohibited activity and (ii) the prior written
consent of the Company. Passive ownership of not more than 5% of the outstanding
securities of any class of any corporation that are listed on a national

      (b) Non-Solicitation. Consultant covenants and agrees that, during the
Restriction Period, Consultant shall not solicit or otherwise communicate with
any Company customers, employees or vendors or others in any way that could be
competitive or otherwise detrimental to the interests of the Company, including,
without limitation, any solicitation or attempt to solicit the employment of any
person employed by the Company or any inducement or attempt to induce any person
employed by the Company to leave such employment.

      (c) Non-Disparagement. The Company agrees not to make any disparaging
comments regarding Consultant during the Restriction Period; provided, however,
that the Company may report information relating to the Resignations publicly
and may make such statements as are reasonably required with respect to the
existing litigation filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging certain violations
of the Federal securities laws (the "SEC Litigation") or other governmental
investigations or claims or actions or third party claims arising out of the
facts which are the basis for the SEC Litigation. Consultant agrees that, during
the Restriction Period, Consultant shall not take any action or make any
communication which would disparage the Company, its employees or its products
to any third party in any way which would have a negative effect on the
Company's operations or reputation in the marketplace.

      (d) Acknowledgement. Consultant hereby acknowledges that the scope and
duration of the restrictions imposed in the provisions set forth above and in
Section 6 hereof are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the
protection of the Company's Proprietary Information (hereinafter defined) and
the goodwill associated with the business of the Company. It is the desire and
intent of the parties that such provisions shall be enforced to the fullest
extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each
jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.

      6. Non-Disclosure.

            (a) Proprietary Information. Consultant acknowledges that the
Company possesses and shall continue to possess non-public information that has
been created, discovered, developed, or otherwise become known to the Company,
or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to the
Company, which information has commercial value in the business of the Company
or in businesses in which the Company may become engaged, including, without
limitation, all information or data with respect to the conduct or details of
the business of the Company not generally made available to the customers,
vendors, or competitors of the Company (whether constituting a trade secret or
not); methods of operation; customers and customer lists; supplier lists; sales
data; details of contracts with customers, consultants, suppliers or employees;

matters of the Company (the "Proprietary Information").

      (b) Confidentiality. Consultant covenants and agrees that, at all times
from and after the date hereof, Consultant shall keep all Proprietary
Information completely confidential and in the strictest confidence and
Consultant shall not use or disclose any Proprietary Information or anything
directly relating to the Proprietary Information to any person or legal entity
without the prior written consent of the Company, except as may be necessary in
the ordinary course of Consultant's performance of the Consulting Services and
only for the benefit of the Company, including without limitation any use or
disclosure to the Company and its respective employees, officers and agents. The
restriction contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply to any
Proprietary Information that (i) is a matter of public knowledge on the date
hereof, (ii) becomes a matter of public knowledge after the date hereof solely
from a source other than Consultant or any other person subject to an obligation
of confidentiality to the Company, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by law
or by the order of any court or government agency; provided, that Consultant
shall, prior to making such legally required or compelled disclosure, notify the
CEO in order to permit the Company to seek an appropriate protective order and,
upon such disclosure, shall request confidential treatment thereof.

      7. Ownership of Ideas; No Assignments. Consultant hereby acknowledges and
agrees to provide the Company with full rights, title and interest in and to all
ideas conceived, generated, explored or developed by him during the Consulting
Term which may be applicable for sale or use in the medical imaging and dental
fields (the "Ideas"); provided that the Company may relinquish its rights
hereunder with respect to Ideas upon (a) the written request therefor in
sufficient detail by Consultant prior to his undertaking any activity with
respect to such Ideas and (b) the prior written consent of the Company to
relinquish such Ideas. Except to the extent permitted by Section 5(a) of the
Agreement, Consultant shall not accept or agree to accept any assignments from
any third parties to develop any products that might be usable in the medical
imaging or dental fields.

      8. Unvested Stock Options. As further incentive for Consultant to perform
the Consulting Services and to comply with the restrictions of the
non-competition and other covenants applicable to him under this Agreement, the
Company shall take such steps as are necessary or appropriate, consistent with
the terms and conditions of the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock
Option Plan"), so that stock options with respect to the 66,307 shares, par
value $0.01, of the Company's Common Stock, which were previously granted to
Consultant in accordance with the terms of the Stock Option Plan, and which are
unvested as of the Resignations Delivery Date, shall continue to vest in
accordance with their current vesting schedule; provided, however, that no such
unvested options shall vest if, at the date of scheduled vesting, there exists a
basis under Section 9(b) or (c) hereof for the Company to terminate the
Agreement.

      9. Termination.

      (a) Material Breach by Consultant. The Company shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement and the Consulting Term in the event of a material
breach by Consultant, subject to Consultant's right to cure such material breach
in accordance with the terms of Section 9(e). If the Company terminates this
Agreement for circumstances which constitute a material breach, other than a
breach described in Section 9(c) hereof, and cure is not effected by Consultant
during the period permitted by Section 9(e), then the Company shall pay to
Consultant fifty percent (50%) of the unpaid Fee as of the date of such
termination, amortized and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each
month (pro-rated as appropriate) over the remaining term of the Restriction
Period, and shall have no further liability to Consultant for compensation and
benefits hereunder. In all cases where cure is provided for herein and upon the
CEO's recommendation to the Board of Directors of the Company that this
Agreement be terminated due to Consultant's failure to cure a material breach,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall make the final determination
regarding termination of this Agreement.

      (b) Additional Grounds for Termination. The Company shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement if Consultant: (i) commits any act involving
dishonesty which is materially injurious to the Company, or fraud against the
Company; (ii) is convicted of a felony; (iii) is convicted of a crime involving
moral turpitude that brings the Company into public disrepute or disgrace or
causes harm to customer relations, operations or business prospects of the
Company; (iv) commits a material breach of the Agreement with respect to the
non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement or non-disclosure covenants
set forth in Sections 5 and 6 hereof; (v) dies; or (vi) becomes unable to
perform his duties under this Agreement. Upon such termination, the Company
shall have no further liability to Consultant for compensation or benefits under
this Agreement.

      (c) Material Breach by Company. In the event of the Company's non-payment
of compensation or non-reimbursement of expenses as provided for by this
Agreement, Consultant shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, subject
to the Company's right to cure such material breach in accordance with the terms
of Section 9(e). Upon such termination, Consultant shall be entitled to receive
payment in a lump sum of the unpaid balance of the Fee, and thereafter the
Company shall have no further liability for compensation or other benefits to
Consultant under this Agreement.

      (d) Cure. Upon receipt of written notice from the other party of any
material breach of this Agreement, other than a breach described in Section 9(c)
