                    THE PERKIN-ELMER CORPORATION

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  interim condensed consolidated financial statements  should  be
read  in conjunction with the financial statements presented in  The
Perkin-Elmer Corporation's (the Company's) Annual Report on Form 10-
K  for  the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.  Significant accounting
policies disclosed therein have not changed.

The  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements  reflect,
in  the  opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments  which
are  necessary for a fair statement of the results for  the  interim
periods.   All  such  adjustments are of a normal recurring  nature.
These  results  are,  however,  not necessarily  indicative  of  the
results  to  be  expected for a full year.  Certain amounts  in  the
condensed  consolidated financial statements have been  reclassified
for comparative purposes.


NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost (on a first-in,  first-
out   basis)   or   market.   Inventories  included  the   following
components:

       (Dollar amounts in  millions)      December 31,   June 30,
                                              1995         1995
       Raw materials and supplies          $    32.9   $     29.2
       Work-in-process                          20.9         18.9
       Finished products                       161.2        164.8
       Total inventories                   $   215.0   $    212.9



NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVES

The  Company  manages exposure to fluctuations in  foreign  exchange
rates by creating offsetting positions through the use of derivative
financial instruments, primarily forward or purchased option foreign
exchange  contracts.  The Company does not use derivative  financial
instruments for trading or speculative purposes, nor is the  Company
a  party  to leveraged derivatives.  Foreign exchange contracts  are
accounted  for  as hedges of net investments, firm  commitments  and
foreign  currency  transactions.   The  gains  and  losses  on   the
instruments utilized to create the hedge offset the gains and losses
on  the  underlying  exposures.  At December  31,  1995,  the  total
carrying  amount  of  the  Company's  outstanding  foreign  currency
contracts  held  was  $132.5 million.  The counterparties  to  these
contracts  consist  of  a  limited  number  of  highly  rated  major
financial institutions and the Company does not expect to record any
losses as a result of counterparty default.

                             -4-

NOTE 4 - RESTRUCTURING

The Company recorded a $23.0 million before-tax charge in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 1995 for restructuring actions focused on reducing
the  analytical  instruments  business infrastructure.   The  charge
included  $20.7  million  for severance  and  benefit  costs  for  a
worldwide workforce reduction of 227 employees and $2.3 million  for
closure  and  facility consolidation expenses.  As of  December  31,
1995,  the  Company  made  partial severance  and  benefit  payments
totaling   $7.7   million   to  employees   separated    under   the
restructuring  program and payments of $2.1 million  were  made  for
closure and facility consolidation costs, primarily related  to  the
shutdown  of the Company's Puerto Rico manufacturing facility.   The
implementation   of   the   fiscal  1995   restructuring   plan   is
substantially complete.  The balance at December 31, 1995  of  $13.2
million  represents future severance and deferred  payments.   There
have   been  no  adjustments  made  to  increase  or  decrease   the
liabilities originally accrued for this restructuring plan.


NOTE 5 - SALE OF MATERIAL SCIENCES SEGMENT

On  September  30,  1994,  the Company concluded  the  sale  of  its
Material  Sciences  segment (Metco) to Sulzer Inc.,  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of Sulzer, Ltd., Winterthur, Switzerland.   The  Company
received cash proceeds of $64.8 million as a result of the sale.


NOTE 6 - STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The  Company is required to implement SFAS No. 121, "Accounting  for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to  Be
Disposed   Of,"  and  SFAS  No.  123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation" no later than fiscal 1997.  The Company  is  currently
analyzing  the statements to determine the impact, if  any,  on  the
consolidated financial statements.

the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

Net  revenues  for  the second quarter of fiscal  1996  were  $294.1
million,  an increase of 12.7% over the $261.0 million reported  for
the  second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net income increased  33.1%  to
$22.8  million, or $0.53 per share, compared with $17.1 million,  or
$0.40 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.

Foreign  currency translation accounted for approximately $5 million
of  the  $33.1  million  net  revenue  increase  over  fiscal  1995,
primarily  due  to  the weaker U.S. dollar against various  European
currencies.  Excluding the effects of currency, net revenues in  all
geographic markets increased over the prior year.  The Far East,  as
a result of increased private and public funding in Japan, accounted
for approximately 50% of the net revenue increase.  Europe accounted
for  approximately  25%  of  the net revenue  increase.   Analytical
instrument revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996  increased
9%  over the second quarter of fiscal 1995 primarily as a result  of
increased  demand  for the high-end atomic absorption  products  and
higher  volumes  of  inductively coupled plasma-mass  spectrometers.
The  growing  demand for DNA sequencers and PCR related  instruments
and  consumables, as a result of expanding bioresearch  applications
and  production requirements, led to a 17% increase in life  science
revenues.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 48.0% in the second
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 47.2% in the second quarter  of
fiscal  1995.   Increased  volume  of  higher  margin  life  science
products  and  the  effects of currency gains in Europe   more  than
offset lower analytical instrument gross margins in North America.

Selling,  general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in  the  second
quarter  of  fiscal  1996  increased $6.8 million  over  the  second
quarter  of fiscal 1995.  Approximately $1.2 million of the increase
was  the result of currency translation in Europe and the Far  East.
The  ratio  of  SG&A  expenses to net revenues  decreased  to  28.8%
compared with 29.9% in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Research,
development   and  engineering  (R&D)  expenses  of  $25.9   million
increased  11.8%  over the prior year, primarily due  to  continuing
increased   investment  in  bioresearch  applications.   In   total,
operating  expenses as a percentage of net revenues  decreased  1.2%
from  the  second  quarter of fiscal 1995 as the  Company  began  to
benefit  from  the  restructuring actions announced  in  the  fourth
quarter of fiscal 1995.

As  a  result of lower short-term borrowing levels, interest expense
in  the second quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased $.6 million compared
to  the  second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net other expense  was  $.6
million  in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to net  other
income of $.2 million in the prior year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995

Net  revenues  for the first six months of fiscal 1996  were  $558.4
million, nearly 10% higher than the $508.2 million reported  in  the
first  half of fiscal 1995.  Foreign currency changes, primarily  in
Europe,  accounted for approximately $12 million,  or  24%,  of  the
increase.  Revenues were higher than the prior year's level  in  all
geographic markets, especially in the Far East.  The Far East market
experienced a year-to-year increase of 16% in fiscal 1996 reflecting
increased  public  and private funding in Japan.   Revenues  in  the
United States and Europe also experienced growth, increasing 3%  and
11%, respectively.   Demand for life science products,  particularly
DNA sequencers and PCR related instruments and consumables, led to a
17%  increase  in  life  science revenues.   Analytical  instruments
experienced increased revenues of approximately 5%  as a  result  of
higher demand for organic and inorganic products.

Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues was 48.4% for the first
half  of  fiscal 1996 compared to 47.5% for the first six months  of
fiscal 1995.  The increase was primarily due to increased volumes of
higher  gross margin life science products and, to a lesser  extent,
the  favorable effects of foreign currency translation in Europe and
the  Far  East.   These increases more than offset lower  analytical
instrument gross margins in North America.

SG&A  expenses increased $11.8 million in the first half  of  fiscal
1996 compared to the same period in fiscal 1995.  Approximately  28%
of  the increase resulted from currency changes.  As a percentage of
net  revenues,  SG&A expenses decreased to 29% in fiscal  1996  from
approximately  30% in fiscal 1995.  R&D expenses  of  $51.1  million
increased  approximately 10% over the prior year, primarily  due  to
increased  investment  in both bioresearch and analytical  programs.
The  restructuring actions announced at the end of fiscal 1995,  and
implemented  during  the  first  six  months  of  fiscal  1996,  are
proceeding as planned.  While the Company has begun to benefit  from
the  cost saving actions, with the ratio of total operating expenses
to  net  revenues decreasing to 38.4% in fiscal 1996 from  39.0%  in
fiscal  1995,  the  restructuring actions are  expected  to  produce
higher  operating  cost benefits in the second half  of  the  fiscal
year.

Interest expense was $2.8 million in the first six months of  fiscal
1996  compared with $4.4 million in the first six months  of  fiscal
1995.  The decrease was primarily the result of lower average short-
term borrowing levels compared to the prior year.  Net other expense
in  the first six months of fiscal 1996 was $2.0 million compared to
$.9 million in the first half of fiscal 1995.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the first six months  of
fiscal  1996  was 23% compared with 19% in the first six  months  of
fiscal  1995.  Fiscal 1995's lower effective tax rate reflected  the
greater utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

At  December 31, 1995, the Company's total cash position,  including
cash equivalents, was $101.0 million, compared with $73.0 million at
June  30,  1995, and $14.5 million at December 31, 1994.   Net  cash
provided by operations was $27.2 million for the first six months of
fiscal  1996 compared to $6.8 million for the same period in  fiscal
1995.   Higher net income and operating liabilities more than offset
increased  accounts receivable, inventory levels, and  other  assets
during fiscal 1996.

                             -7-

<PAGE>

Capital spending was $14.7 million in the first half of fiscal  1996
compared with $16.7 million in the first six months of fiscal  1995.
These  expenditures were more than offset by the  proceeds  received
from  the collection of long-term notes receivable, the disposal  of
fixed  assets  held  for  sale  and the  maturity  of  a  short-term
investment during the second quarter of fiscal 1996.  Cash used  for
the  payment  of shareholders' dividends was offset by the  proceeds
received  from  employee stock option plan exercises  and  increased
short-term  borrowings at the end of the second  quarter  of  fiscal
1996.   During  the first six months of fiscal 1995,  cash  used  by
financing activities included $37.4 million for the purchase of  1.3
million  shares of common stock for treasury.  There were no  shares
repurchased during the first six months of fiscal 1996.

The implementation of the restructuring actions announced at the end
of  fiscal 1995 is proceeding as planned.  During the first half  of
fiscal 1996, the Company made severance and benefit payments of $4.1
million  to  employees  separated  under  the  plan.   In  addition,
payments  of  $1.2  million  were  made  for  closure  and  facility
consolidation  costs,  related primarily  to  the  shutdown  of  the
Company's Puerto Rico manufacturing facility.  The implementation of
the  fiscal 1995 restructuring plan is substantially complete.   The
balance  remaining at December 31, 1995 of $13.2 million  represents
future severance and deferred payments.

OUTLOOK

With  the  implementation of the fiscal 1995  restructuring  actions
proceeding  as planned, the Company is anticipating increasing  cost
and  cash  flow benefits for the remainder of fiscal 1996.  However,
the   slow  growth  trend  of  revenues  and  profitability  in  the
analytical  instrument business has confirmed the need  for  further
actions. The Company has announced plans to take a pre-tax charge of
approximately $65 - $75 million, or approximately $57 - $65  million
after-tax, in the third quarter of fiscal 1996. The actions  planned
include  a  reduction in worldwide manufacturing  capacity  and  the
establishment    of   an   integrated   sales,   distribution    and
administration support infrastructure for European operations.   The
operating  cost  benefit of these actions targeted for  fiscal  1997
approximates  $25  million.   Once  completed,  cost  benefits   are
anticipated  to exceed $40 million per year, as will operating  cash
flow.  The complete details, costs, and timing to implement the plan
are  expected to be announced upon final approval from the Company's
Board of Directors before the end of the third quarter.

                      EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT


          AGREEMENT entered into as of November 16, 1995, between

THE PERKIN-ELMER CORPORATION, a New York corporation having its

principal place of business at Norwalk, Connecticut (the

"Company") and _____________________________ residing at

________________, ____________________ (the "Employee").

          WHEREAS, the Employee has rendered and/or will render

valuable services to the Company and it is regarded essential by

the Company that it have the benefit of Employee's services in

future years; and

          WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company believes

that it is essential that, in the event of the possibility of a

Change in Control of the Company (as defined herein), the

Employee be able to continue his attention and dedication to his

duties and to assess and advise the Board of Directors of the

Company (the "Board") whether such proposals would be in the best

interest of the Company and its shareholders without distraction

regarding any uncertainty concerning his future with the Company;

and

          WHEREAS, the Employee is willing to agree to continue

to serve the Company in the future;

          NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:

          1.  Employment.  The Company agrees to employ Employee,

and the Employee agrees to serve as an employee of the Company or

one or more of its subsidiaries after a Change of Control during

the Period of Employment (as those terms are defined in Section 2



                             -1-



<PAGE>




hereof) in such executive capacity as Employee served immediately

prior to the Change in Control which caused the commencement of

the Period of Employment.  The Employee also agrees to serve

during the Period of Employment, if elected or appointed thereto,

as a Director of the Board of Directors of the Company and as a

member of any committee of the Board of Directors.  Notwith-

standing anything to the contrary herein, the Period of

Employment shall not commence and the Employee shall not be

entitled to any rights, benefits, or payments hereunder unless

and until a Change in Control has occurred.

          2.  Definitions.

          (a)  Cause.  During the Period of Employment, "Cause"

means termination upon (i) the willful and continued failure by

the Employee to perform substantially his duties with the Company

(other than any such failure resulting from the Employee's

incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a demand for

a substantial performance is delivered to the Employee by the

Chief Executive Officer of the Company ("CEO") which specifically

identifies the manner in which the CEO believes that the Employee

has not substantially performed his duties, or (ii) the willful

engaging by the Employee in illegal conduct which is materially

and demonstrably injurious to the Company.  For purposes of this

Section 2(a), no act, or failure to act, on the part of the

Employee shall be considered "willful" unless done, or omitted to

be done, by the Employee in bad faith and without reasonable

belief that the Employee's action or omission was in, or not



                             -2-


<PAGE>



opposed to, the best interests of the Company.  Any act, or

failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a

resolution duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of

counsel for the Company shall be conclusively presumed to be

done, or omitted to be done, by the Employee in good faith and in

the best interests of the Company.  Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the Employee shall not be deemed to have been

terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been

delivered to the Employee a copy of a resolution duly adopted by

the affirmative vote of not less than three quarters of the

entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called

and held for that purpose (after reasonable notice to the

Employee and an opportunity for him, together with counsel, to be

heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion

of the Board the Employee was guilty of the conduct set forth

above in (i) or (ii) of this Section 2(a) and specifying the

particulars thereof in detail.

          (b)  Cash Compensation.  "Cash Compensation" shall mean

the sum of (i) Employee's Base Salary (determined in accordance

with the provisions of Section 4(a) hereof) and (ii) Executive's

incentive compensation (provided for under Section 4(b) hereof),

which shall be an amount equal to the greatest of (x) the average

of the amount of Employee's incentive compensation for the last

three completed fiscal years immediately prior to the Employee's

termination of employment (whether or not such years occurred

during the Period of Employment), (y) the target amount of such



                             -3-

<PAGE>



Employee's incentive compensation for the fiscal year in which

his termination of employment occurs or (z) the Employee's target

amount for the fiscal year in which the Change in Control occurs.

          (c)  Change in Control.  "Change in Control" means the

occurrence of any of the following: an event that would be

required to be reported (assuming such event has not been

"previously reported") in response to Item 1(a) of the Current

Report on Form 8-K, as in effect on the date hereof, pursuant to

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;

provided, however, that, without limitation, such a Change in

Control shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as (i) any

"person" within the meaning of Section 14(d) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 becomes the "beneficial owner" as defined in

Rule 13d-3 thereunder, directly or indirectly, of more than 25%

of the Company's Common Stock; (ii) during any two-year period,

individuals who constitute the Board of Directors of the Company

(the "Incumbent Board") as of the beginning of the period cease

for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof,

provided that any person becoming a director during such period

whose election or nomination for election by the Company's

stockholders was approved by a vote of at least three quarters of

the Incumbent Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of

the proxy statement of the Company in which such person is named

as a nominee for director without objection to such nomination)

shall be, for purposes of this clause (ii), considered as though

such person were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (iii) the



                             -4-


<PAGE>



approval by the Company's stockholders of the sale of all or

substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company.

          (d)  Disability.  "Disability" means the absence of the

Employee from his duties with the Company on a full-time basis

for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days as a result of

incapacity due to physical or mental illness.

          (e)  Good Reason.  During the Period of Employment,

"Good Reason" means:

          (i)  an adverse change in the status of the Employee

(other than any such change primarily attributable to the fact

that the Company may no longer be publicly owned) or position(s)

as an officer of the Company as in effect immediately prior to

the Change in Control or the assignment to the Employee of any

duties or responsibilities which, in his reasonable judgment, are

inconsistent with such status or position(s), or any removal of

the Employee from or any failure to reappoint or reelect him to

such position(s) (except in connection with the termination of

the Employee's employment for Cause, Disability, or upon

attaining age 65 or upon taking early retirement under any of the

Company's retirement plans, or as a result of death or by the

Employee other than for Good Reason);

          (ii)  a reduction by the Company after a Change in

Control in the Employee's Base Salary;

          (iii)  a material reduction after a Change in Control

in the Employee's total annual compensation; provided, however,

that for these purposes a reduction for any year of over 10% of



                             -5-


<PAGE>



total compensation measured by the preceding year without a

substantially similar reduction to all other executives

participating in incentive compensation plans shall be considered

"material"; and the failure of the Company to adopt or renew a

stock option plan or to grant amounts of restricted stock or

stock options, which are consistent with the Company's prior

practices, to the Employee shall also be considered a material

reduction, unless the Employee participates in substitute

programs that provide substantially equivalent economic value to

the Employee;

          (iv)  the failure by the Company to continue in effect

any Benefit Plan (as hereinafter defined) in which Employee was

participating at the time of the Change in Control (or Benefit

Plans providing Employee with at least substantially similar

benefits) other than as a result of the normal expiration of any

such Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms as in effect at

the time of the Change in Control, or the taking of any action,

or the failure to act, by the Company which would adversely

affect Employee's continued participation in any such Benefit

Plans on at least as favorable a basis to Employee as is the case

immediately prior to the Change in Control or which would

materially reduce Employee's benefits in the future under any of

such Benefit Plans or deprive Employee of any material benefit

enjoyed by Employee immediately prior to the Change in Control;

          (v)  the failure by the Company after a Change in

Control to provide and credit Employee with the number of paid



                             -6-


<PAGE>



vacation days to which Employee was then entitled in accordance

with the Company's normal vacation policy as in effect

immediately prior to the Change in Control; or

          (vi)  the Company's requiring the Employee after a

Change in Control to be based more than fifty miles from the

Employee's principal place of business immediately prior to the

Change in Control except for required travel on the Company's

business to an extent substantially consistent with the business

travel obligations which he undertook on behalf of the Company

prior to the Change in Control.

          (f)  Period of Employment.  (i)  "Period of Employment"

means, subject to the provisions of Section 2(f)(ii), the period

of thirty-six (36) months commencing on the date of a Change in

Control (as defined in Section 2(c) hereof) and the period of any

extension or extensions thereof in accordance with the terms of

this Section.  The Period of Employment shall be extended

automatically by one week for each week in which the Employee's

employment continues after the date of a Change in Control.

          (ii)  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(f)(i)

hereof, the Period of Employment shall terminate upon the

occurrence of the earliest of (A) the Employee's attainment of

age 65, or the election by the Employee to retire early from the

Company under any of its retirement plans, (B) the death of the

Employee, (C) the Disability of the Employee or (D) a termination

of Employee's employment by the Company for Cause or by the

Employee without Good Reason.



                             -7-


<PAGE>



          (g)  Termination Date.  "Termination Date" means the

date on which the Period of Employment terminates.

          3.  Duties During the Period of Employment.  While

employed by the Company during the Period of Employment, the

Employee shall devote his full business time, attention, and best

efforts to the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries;

provided, however, that the Employee may engage in other

activities, such as activities involving charitable, educational,

religious, and similar types of organizations, speaking

engagements, membership on the board of directors of other

organizations, and similar types of activities to the extent that

such other activities do not prohibit the performance of his

duties under this Agreement, or inhibit or conflict in any

material way with the business of the Company and its

subsidiaries.

          4.  Current Cash Compensation.

          (a)  Base Salary.  The Company will pay to the Employee

while employed by the Company during the Period of Employment an

annual base salary ("Base Salary") in an amount determined by the

Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee which shall

never be less than the greater of (i) the Employee's Base Salary

prior to the commencement of the Period of Employment or (ii) his

Base Salary during the preceding year of the Period of

Employment; provided, however, that it is agreed between the

parties that the Company shall review annually the Employee's

Base Salary, and in light of such review may, in the discretion



                             -8-


<PAGE>




of the Board of Directors or its Compensation Committee, increase

such Base Salary taking into account the Employee's responsi-

bilities, inflation in the cost of living, increase in salaries

of executives of other corporations, performance by the Employee,

and other pertinent factors.  The Base Salary shall be paid in

substantially equal biweekly installments while Employee is

employed by the Company.

          (b)  Incentive Compensation.  While employed by the

Company during the Period of Employment, the Employee shall

continue to participate in such of the Company's incentive

compensation programs for executives as the Employee participated

in prior to the commencement of the Period of Employment.  Any

amount awarded to the Employee under such programs shall be paid

to Employee in accordance with the terms thereof.

          5.  Employee Benefits.

          (a)  Vacation and Sick Leave.  The Employee shall be

entitled during the Period of Employment to a paid annual

vacation of not less than twenty (20) business days during each

calendar year while employed by the Company and to reasonable

sick leave.

          (b)  Regular Reimbursed Business Expenses.  The Company

shall reimburse the Employee for all expenses and disbursements

reasonably incurred by the Employee in the performance of his

duties during the Period of Employment.

          (c)  Employment Benefit Plans or Arrangements.  While

employed by the Company, Employee shall be entitled to



                             -9-



<PAGE>




participate in all employee benefit plans, programs, or

arrangements ("Benefit Plans") of the Company, in accordance with

the terms thereof, as in effect from time to time, which provide

benefits to senior executives of the Company.  For purposes of

<PAGE>



(ii), (iii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence shall hereinafter

be referred to as "Accrued Benefits."

          (b)  Termination by the Company Without Cause or by the

Employee for Good Reason.  If during the Period of Employment the

Company terminates the Employee's employment with the Company

without Cause or the Employee terminates his employment with the

Company for Good Reason, the Company will pay to Employee all

Accrued Benefits and, in addition, pay or provide to the Employee

the following:

                    (i)  within thirty (30) days after the date

               of termination, a lump sum equal to the greater of

               (A) the Employee's Cash Compensation for the

               remainder of the Period of Employment or (B) two

               times the Employee's Cash Compensation;

                    (ii) for the greater of two years or the

               remainder of the Period of Employment immediately

               following the Employee's date of termination, the

               Employee and Employee's family shall continue to

               participate in any Benefit Plans of the Company (as

               defined in Section 5(c) hereof) in which Employee

               or Employee's family participated at any time

               during the one-year period ending on the day

               immediately preceding Employee's termination of

               employment, provided that (a) such continued

               participation is possible under the terms of such

               Benefit Plans, and (b) the Employee continues to



                             -11-


<PAGE>



               pay contributions for such participation at the

               rates paid for similar participation by active

               Company employees in similar positions to that held

               by the Employee immediately prior to the date of

               termination.  If such continued participation is

               not possible, the Company shall provide, at its

               sole cost and expense, substantially identical

               benefits to the Employee plus pay an additional

               amount to the Employee equal to the Employee's

               liability for federal, state and local income taxes

               on any amounts includible in the Employee's income

               by virtue of the terms of this Section 6(b)(ii) so

               that Employee does not have to personally pay any

               federal, state and local income taxes by virtue of

               the terms of this Section 6(b)(ii);

                    (iii)     three additional years of service

               credit under the Company's Non-Qualified Plans

               and, for purposes of such plans, Employee's final

               average pay shall be deemed to be his Cash

               Compensation for the year in which the date of

               termination occurs;

                    (iv) the Company shall take all reasonable

               actions to cause any Company restricted stock

               ("Restricted Stock") granted to Employee to become

               fully vested and any options to purchase Company

               stock ("Options") granted to Employee to become

               fully exercisable, and in the event the Company



                             -12-


<PAGE>



               cannot effect such vesting or acceleration within

               sixty (60) days, the Company shall pay within

               thirty (30) days thereafter to Employee (i) with

               respect to each Option, an amount equal to the

               product of (x) the number of unvested shares

               subject to such Option, multiplied by (y) the

               excess of the fair market value of a share of

               Company common stock on the date of Employee's

               termination of employment, over the per share

               exercise price of such Option and (ii) with

               respect to each unvested share of Restricted Stock

               an amount equal to the fair market value of a

               share of Company common stock on the date of

               Employee's termination of employment.

Except as provided in the following sentence, the amounts payable

to the Employee under this Section 6(b) shall be absolutely owing

and shall not be subject to reduction or mitigation as a result

of employment of the Employee elsewhere after the date of

termination.  Notwithstanding any provision herein to the

contrary, the benefits described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)

of this Section 6(b) shall only be payable with respect to the

period ending upon the earlier of (i) the end of the period

specified in each such clause or (ii) Employee's attainment of

age 65.

          7.  Gross-Up.  In the event any amounts due to the

Employee under this Agreement after a Change in Control, under

the terms of any Benefit Plan, or otherwise payable by the




                             -13-


<PAGE>




Company or an affiliate of the Company are subject to excise

taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

amended ("Excise Taxes"), the Company shall pay to the Employee,

in addition to any other payments due under other provisions of

this Agreement, an amount equal to the amount of such Excise

Taxes plus the amount of any federal, state and local income or

other taxes and Excise Taxes attributable to all amounts,

including income taxes, payable under this Section 7, so that

after payment of all income, Excise and other taxes with respect

to the amounts due to the Employee under this Agreement, the

Employee will retain the same net after tax amount with respect

to such payments as if no Excise Taxes had been imposed.

          8.  Governing Law.  This Agreement is governed by, and

is to be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of

the State of Connecticut.  If under such laws any portion of this

Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any

applicable statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance, such portion

shall be deemed to be modified or altered to conform thereto or,

if that is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement, and

the invalidity of any such portion shall not affect the force,

effect, and validity of the remaining portion hereof.

          9.  Notices.  All notices under this Agreement shall be

in writing and shall be deemed effective when delivered in person

(in the Company's case, to its Secretary) or seventy-two (72)

hours after deposit thereof in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid,

for delivery as registered or certified mail -- addressed, in the




                             -14-

case of the Employee, to the Employee at Employee's residential

address, and in the case of the Company, to its corporate

headquarters, attention of the Secretary, or to such other

address as the Employee or the Company may designate in writing

at any time or from time to time to the other party.  In lieu of

personal notice or notice by deposit in the U.S. mail, a party

may give notice by telegram, fax or telex.

          10.  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement shall supersede the

prior Employment Agreement dated _____________, 199__, with the

Employee.  This Agreement may be amended only by a subsequent

written agreement of the Employee and the Company. This Agreement

shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the

Employee, the Employee's heirs, executors, administrators,

beneficiaries, and assigns and to the benefit of the Company and

its successors.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to

the contrary, nothing herein shall prevent or interfere with the

ability of the Company to terminate the employment of the

Employee prior to a Change in Control nor be construed to entitle

Employee to be continued in employment prior to a Change in

Control and this Agreement shall terminate if Employee or the

Company terminates Employee's employment prior to a Change in

Control.  Similarly, nothing herein shall prevent the Employee

from retiring under any of the Company's retirement plans and

receiving the corresponding benefits thereunder consistent with

the treatment of other Company employees.



                             -15-

          11.  Fees and Expenses.  The Company shall pay all

reasonable legal fees and related expenses incurred by the

Employee in connection with this Agreement following a Change in

Control of the Company, including without limitation, all such

fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with:

(i) contesting or disputing, any termination of the Employee's

employment hereunder; or (ii) the Employee seeking to obtain or

enforce any right or benefit provided by the Agreement.

          12.  Arbitration.  Any dispute or controversy arising

under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled

exclusively by arbitration in Connecticut by three arbitrators in

accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association

then in effect.  Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator's

award in any court having jurisdiction; provided, however, that

the Employee shall be entitled to be paid as if his or her

employment continued during the pendency of any dispute or

controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

The Company shall bear all costs and expenses arising in

connection with any arbitration pursuant to this Section 12.
