                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.      The 1996 and 1995  financial  statements  have been prepared by Dialogic
Corporation  (the "Company" or "Dialogic") and are unaudited.  In the opinion of
the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position,  results of
operations  and cash  flows for the  interim  periods  have been  made.  Certain
information  and  footnote   disclosures   required  under  generally   accepted
accounting  principles  have been  condensed  or omitted  from the  consolidated
financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission.  The consolidated  financial  statements  presented herein
should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  year-end  consolidated   financial
statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  The results of  operations  for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
to be expected for any other interim period or the entire fiscal year.

     2. In  October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 123,  "Accounting  for
Stock-Based  Compensation," which is effective for the Company beginning January
1,  1996.  SFAS No.  123  requires  expanded  disclosures  in  annual  financial
statements  of  stock-based   compensation   arrangements   with  employees  and
encourages (but does not require)  compensation cost to be measured based on the
fair value of the equity instrument awarded.  Companies are permitted,  however,
to  continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25,  which  recognizes  compensation  cost
based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded.  The Company will
continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock based  compensation  awards to
employees  and will  disclose  the  required  pro forma effect on net income and
earnings per share in its annual financial statements.

3.     Inventory consisted of the following (in thousands):

The Company's  revenues increased by 36% during the first quarter of 1996. These
revenue gains were  attributable  to the sales of several new  products,  design
"wins" during 1995 that  resulted in shipments to new customers  during 1996 and
increased unit sales of existing products to new and existing customers.  During
the first quarter of 1996,  sales growth was especially  strong in the Company's
domestic markets.  The following table allocates the Company's  revenues between
domestic and international markets for the periods presented:

                                                     Three Months Ended

                                                     ____________________
                                                     1996            1995
                                                         (In millions)
Domestic:
     Amount                                       $34,219          $24,116
     Percentage of total revenues                    70.2%            67.3%
International:
     Amount                                       $14,513          $11,696
     Percentage of total revenues                    29.8%            32.7%

Gross  margins  for the period were 59.5%  compared to 60.0% from first  quarter
1995. This change in the margin  primarily  reflects a full quarter's  effect of
the Company's new low cost four line board, as well as increased sales of custom
OEM products at substantially lower gross margins.

Research and  development  expenses  grew at 34% over the first quarter of 1995,
and  represented  18.2% of revenues  in the  quarter,  slightly  below the 18.5%
incurred in the first  quarter of 1995.  The increase in dollar  amount from the
first quarter of 1995 to the first quarter of 1996 reflect  continued  expansion
of the Company's engineering staff, allowing the Company to release fourteen new
products  during  the  quarter  and to  continue  to support  the ECTF  software
initiative.  The Company believes that investment in research and development is
critical to future growth and anticipates  investing at these or greater levels 
throughout 1996 in an effort to enable the Company to maintain its technological
leadership in the market.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses grew 26% and represented 27.7% of
revenues in the quarter  compared to 29.9% of revenues for the first  quarter of
1995. This reduction in the percentage of revenues  primarily reflects a greater
leveraging  of general  and  administrative  expenses  over an  increased  sales
volume.  The increase in the dollar amount of such expenses  reflects,  in part,
marketing efforts related to a large trade show held during the quarter.

Interest income for the period increased  $331,000 over the comparable period in
1995.  This  increase  reflects,  in part  interest  earned  from the  Company's
election to convert accrued  interest on a note of Voice Control Systems ("VCS")
into capital stock of VCS.

Realized  gains on  available  for sale  securities  were $9.2  million  for the
quarter.  During the quarter, the Company sold 1,150,000 shares of VCS' stock in
VCS' public offering.



<PAGE>



The  increase  in  the  provision  for  income  taxes   reflects  the  Company's
substantially increased pre-tax income.

Net income for the quarter was $10.6 million or $.65 per share.  On an operating
basis (i.e.,  in 1996,  excluding the effect of realized  gains on available for
sale securities and in 1995,  excluding $1.3 million of merger-related  expense)
net income was $4.8 million  during the first  quarter of 1996, up 66% from $2.9
million  during the first  quarter of 1995.  Earnings  per share on an operating
basis were $.30, up 67% from $.18 on an operating basis for the first quarter of
1995. Weighted average shares increased from 16.0 million to 16.3 million during
the period.

As of March 31,  1996,  Dialogic  had  working  capital of $88.2  million  and a
current ratio (i.e., the ratio of current assets to current  liabilities) of 4.3
to 1, as compared  with working  capital of $77.0 million and a current ratio of
4.4 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996,   Dialogic's  cash  and   cash
equivalents  decreased by $1.3  million.  This  decrease  primarily  reflects an
increase in  inventory  ($4.5  million)  and cash used for capital  expenditures
($2.6  million),  offset  in  part  by net  cash  provided  by  other  operating
activities. The increase in inventory represents the transition of the Company's
full line PEB based  products to SC based  products.  The average  period during
which accounts  receivable are  outstanding  remained  consistent with the first
quarter of 1995 (in the forty day range),  while  inventory turns have decreased
slightly with the transistion to new products.  Capital expenditures reflect the
expansion of the Company's headquarters associated with the Company's growth.

During the three months ended March 31, 1996, short-term investments increased 
by  $10.2  million, principally  as a  result of the above-mentioned sale of VCS
stock.

Dialogic believes that its current  liquidity,  coupled with cash generated from
operations and credit  available  under its credit lines,  will be sufficient to
meet its liquidity and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.

employees.  Incentives may consist of opportunities to acquire Shares or cash or

                  Section 3.  Administration.

                  3.01.  Administrative  body. Subject to Section 3.02, the Plan
shall be administered  by the Board or the Committee.  The Board may in its sole
discretion,  but subject to Section  3.02,  delegate the authority to administer
the Plan to the Committee.  If the Committee has been delegated the authority to
administer  the Plan,  all  references to the Board in this Plan (except in this
Section  3.01,  Section 3.02,  Section  13.07 and Section  13.11) shall mean and

registered  under Section 12 of the  Securities  Exchange Act, this Section 3.02

their  exercise  and all  related  rights,  (c)  accelerate  the date on which a
previously  granted  Incentive  may be  exercised,  (d)  prescribe  the  form of
agreements  awarding and governing the  Incentives,  (e) interpret the Plan, (f)
establish any rules or  regulations  relating to the Plan and (g) make all other
determinations for the proper administration of the Plan. Terms,  conditions and
restrictions  of Incentives may vary from  Participant  to Participant  and from
award to award.  The Board's  decisions on matters relating to the Plan shall be
final and  conclusive  on the Group and the  Participants  and their  respective
successors, assigns, transferees, heirs and representatives.

                  Section 4.  Eligibility.

                  4.01. Designation of employees. All employees of any member of
the Group,  including officers and directors who are employees,  are eligible to
receive Incentives under the Plan.  Directors and officers who are not employees
of any member of the Group may not receive Incentives under the Plan.

                  4.02.  Participants.  The Board  may  consider  any  factor in

financial  condition of the Group,  (b) the  contributions by the Participant to
the  Group and (c) the  other  compensation  provided  to the  Participant.  The
Board's  award of an  Incentive  to a person in any year shall not  require  the
Board to award any Incentive to that person in any other year.

                  Section 5.  Types of Incentive.

                  Incentives may be granted in any one or any combination of the
following  forms:  (a)  Non-Statutory  Stock Options  (Section 7); (b) Incentive
Stock  Options  (Section 7); (c) SARs  (Section  8); (d) Units of Phantom  Stock
(Section 9); (e) Stock Awards (Section 10); (f) Restricted Stock Awards (Section
10); (g)  Performance  Stock Rights  (Section 11); and (h) Cash Awards  (Section
12).

                  Section 6.  Shares Subject to the Plan.

                  6.01.  Number  of  Shares.   Subject  to  Section  13.07,  the
aggregate  number of Shares  which may be issued under the Plan shall not exceed
3,025,000 Shares.  For purposes of this Section 6.01, each Unit of Phantom Stock
shall constitute a single Share.  Notwithstanding  any provision of this Plan to
the contrary, the aggregate consideration  (including cash and property) paid to
the Company upon the purchase of all Shares on which "Pre-Public Incentives" are
issued shall not (unless and until the shares issuable pursuant to this Plan are
registered  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission)  exceed  $5,000,000 or
such lesser amount from time to time permitted  under Rule 701 of the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  or any  successor  rule.  For purposes of this Section
6.01, the term  "Pre-Public  Incentives"  means  Incentives  issued prior to the
first date on which the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act.

                  6.02.  Expiration and  cancellation.  If an Incentive  granted
under the Plan expires, is terminated or is otherwise cancelled before exercise,
that  Incentive and the related  shares of Common  Stock,  SARs or phantom stock
shall not apply toward the limits  provided in Section 6.01. If Shares,  SARs or
Units of  Phantom  Stock  issued  or  awarded  under  this  Plan are  forfeited,
cancelled,  terminated or reacquired by the Company, those forfeited, cancelled,
terminated  or  reacquired  Shares,  SARs,  and Units of Phantom Stock shall not
apply toward the limits  provided in Section  6.01 and shall be available  again
for the grant of Incentives.

                  6.03. Maintenance of stock. Shares issued under the Plan shall
be authorized and unissued shares or shares of treasury stock. The Company shall
always  maintain  the number of such Shares at least equal to a number of Shares
for which Incentives have been granted and remain outstanding and unexercised.

                  Section 7.  Stock Options.

                  Each Stock Option  granted under this Plan shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

                  7.01.  Price.  The option price per share shall be  determined
by the Board;  provided,  however, that the option  price  shall not be less 
than  1% of  the Fair  Market  Value  on  the  Award  Date of the Common  Stock 
subject to the option.

                  7.02.  Number.  The  number of Shares  subject to the Stock 
Option  shall be  determined  by the Board.

                  7.03.  Duration  and time for  exercise.  The Award  Date of a
Stock Option shall be the date  specified by the Board,  provided that that date
shall not be before the date on which the Stock Option is actually awarded.  The
term of each Stock Option shall be  determined by the Board but shall not exceed
10 years from the date of grant.  Each Stock Option shall become  exercisable at
such time or times and in such  amount or  amounts  during  its term as shall be
determined by the Board at the time of grant.  If Section 3.02 then applies,  no
Stock Option may be exercised during the first six months of its term. The Board
may  accelerate  the  exercisability  of  any  Stock  Option.  Unless  otherwise
specified by the Board, once a Stock Option becomes exercisable, whether in full
or in part, it shall remain so  exercisable  until its  expiration,  forfeiture,
termination or cancellation.

                  7.04. Exercise.  A Stock Option may be exercised,  in whole or
in part, by giving written  notice to the Company  (Attention:  Chief  Financial
Officer) at its principal  office or to such  transfer  agent as the Company may
designate.  The notice shall  identify the Incentive  being  exercised and shall
contain such other  information  and terms as the Board may require.  The notice
shall be accompanied by full payment of the purchase price for the Shares (a) in
United States  dollars in cash or by check,  (b) at the discretion of the Board,
by delivery of  previously  acquired  Shares having a Fair Market Value equal on
the date of exercise to the cash exercise  price of the Stock Option,  or (c) at
the discretion of the Board,  by a combination of (a) and (b) above.  As soon as
practicable  after receipt of the written  notice,  the Company shall deliver to
the person  exercising  the Stock  Option the one or more  certificates  for the
Shares.

                 7.05. Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in this
Plan to the contrary,  the  following  additional  provisions  shall  apply to 
the  grant of Incentive Stock Options:
              
                  (a) The  aggregate  Fair Market Value on the Award Date of the
Shares with respect to which  Incentive  Stock Options are  exercisable  for the
first time by any  Participant  during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Group) shall not exceed $100,000;

                  (b) All  Incentive  Stock  Options  must be  granted  within
10 years  from the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board;

                  (c) Unless exercised sooner, each Incentive Stock Option shall
expire no later  than 10 years  after the Award  Date for that  Incentive  Stock
Option;

                  (d) The option price for each Incentive  Stock Option shall be
not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares  subject to the option
on the Award Date of that Incentive Stock Option;

                  (e)  No  Incentive  Stock  Option  shall  be  granted  to  any
Participant who, at the time that option is granted, owns (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code) stock having more than 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any member of the Group,  unless
the  option  price is equal to at  least  110% of the Fair  Market  Value of the
Shares subject to the option on the Award Date and the option is not exercisable
later than five years from the Award Date;

                  (f) Incentive  Stock Options may be issued alone or with other
Incentives  (including  Non-Statutory  Stock  Options)  but may not be issued In
Tandem with Non-Statutory Stock Options; and

                  (g) Each  Incentive  Stock  Option  agreement  referred  to in
Section 13.05 shall contain or be deemed to contain all  provisions  required in
order to qualify  those Stock  Options as incentive  stock options under Section
422 of the Code,  and the  provisions  of this  Plan  shall be  interpreted  and
construed to effect such treatment under that Section.

                  Section 8.  Stock Appreciation Rights.

                  An SAR may be  granted  (i)  together  with any  Stock  Option
granted  under  this  Plan in which  case it shall  be  exercisable  with and in
addition  to that Stock  Option,  (ii) In Tandem with any Stock  Option  granted
under this Plan (except  with respect to an Incentive  Stock Option if the grant
of the SAR would cause the  Incentive  Stock Option not to qualify as such under
Section 422 of the Code) or (iii) alone,  without reference to any Stock Option.
Each SAR  granted  under this Plan shall be subject to the  following  terms and
conditions:

                  8.01.  Number.  Each SAR shall relate to the number of Shares 
as may be determined by the Board.

                  8.02.  Duration.  The term of each SAR shall be  determined by
the  Board but shall not  exceed  10 years  from the Award  Date of the SAR.  If
Section 3.02 then applies,  no SAR may be exercised  during the first six months
of its  term.  Except  as  provided  in the  preceding  sentence,  the Board may
accelerate the exercisability of any SAR.

                  8.03. Exercise. An SAR may be exercised,  in whole or in part,
by giving written notice to the Company (Attention:  Chief Financial Officer) at
its principal  office or to such transfer agent as the Company shall  designate.
The notice shall identify the Incentive  being  exercised and shall contain such
other  information  and terms as the Board may require.  As soon as  practicable
after  receipt of the written  notice,  the Company  shall deliver to the person
exercising the SAR certificates for the Shares, cash or a combination thereof to
which that person is entitled under Section 8.04.

                  8.04. Payment.  When the Board awards an SAR, it shall specify
whether the SAR is  exercisable  (a) for cash only, (b) for Shares only, (c) for
any  combination  thereof as specified by the person  exercising  the SAR at the
time of the exercise of the SAR or (d) for any combination  thereof as specified
by the Board at the time of the exercise of the SAR.

                  (a) If an SAR is exercisable for Shares,  the number of Shares
issuable upon the exercise of the SAR shall be determined by dividing:

                       (i) the  number of Shares for which the SAR is exercised
multiplied  by the amount of the appreciation per Share (for this purpose the 
"appreciation per Share" shall be the amount by which the Fair  Market  Value of
a Share on the  Exercise  Date exceeds  (A) in  the case of  an  SAR granted In 
Tandem  with a Stock  Option,  the option price or (B) in the case of an SAR 
granted alone  without  reference to a Stock Option, the Fair Market Value of a 
Share on the Award Date of the SAR); by

                       (ii)  the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Exercise 
Date.

                  (b) If an SAR is  exercisable  for  cash,  the  amount of cash
payable  upon  exercise  shall be equal to the Fair Market Value on the Exercise
Date  of any or all of the  Shares  that  would  be  issuable  if the  SAR  were
exercised for Shares.

                  (c) No fractional  Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of
an SAR. Instead, the holder of the SAR shall receive a cash payment equal to the
Fair Market Value of the fractional share.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the
Board may  decide  to pay cash to  Participants  covered  by  Section  16 of the
Securities  Exchange  Act only if the  Company,  the Board  and the  Participant
comply  with  all  applicable  provisions  of that  Section  16 and the  related
regulations.

                  Section 9.  Phantom Stock.

                  Each Unit of Phantom  Stock  granted  under this Plan shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions:

                  9.01.  Number.  Each Unit of Phantom Stock shall relate to one
Share.

                  9.02.  Duration.  The term of each Unit of Phantom Stock shall
be determined by the Board but shall not exceed 10 years from the Award Date for
that Unit of Phantom  Stock.  If Section 3.02 then  applies,  no Unit of Phantom
Stock  may be  exercised  during  the first  six  months of its term.  Except as
provided in the preceding  sentence,  the Board my accelerate the exercisability
of any Unit of Phantom Stock.

                  9.03. Exercise.  A Unit of Phantom Stock may be exercised,  in
whole or in part,  by giving  written  notice to the Company  (Attention:  Chief
Financial  Officer) at its  principal  office or to such  transfer  agent as the
Company shall designate. The notice shall identify the Incentive being exercised
and shall contain such other  information  and terms as the Board shall require.
As soon as practicable  after receipt of the written  notice,  the Company shall
deliver to the person exercising the Unit of Phantom Stock the amount of cash to
which that person is entitled under Section 9.04.

                  9.04.  Payment.

                  (a) When the Board  awards a Unit of Phantom  Stock,  it shall
specify  whether that unit is entitled to the  dividends  that would accrue to a
single Share.  If any Unit of Phantom Stock is so entitled,  dividends  shall be
paid on the unit as if the unit were a Share.

                  (b) The  amount of cash  payable  upon  exercise  of a Unit of
Phantom  Stock  shall be the  excess  of Fair  Market  Value of one Share on the
Exercise Date over the Fair Market Value of one Share on the Award Date.

                  Section 10.  Stock Awards and Restricted Stock.

                  Stock Awards and  Restricted  Stock Awards shall be subject to
the following terms and conditions:

                  10.01.  Number of  Shares.  The  number of Shares to be issued
by the  Company  to a  Participant under a Stock Award or a Restricted Stock 
Award shall be determined by the Board.

                  10.02.  Sale price.  The Board shall determine the prices,  if
any, at which Shares  issued  under a Restricted  Stock Award shall be sold to a
Participant,  which prices may vary from time to time and among Participants and
which may be below  the Fair  Market  Value of  Shares at the date of sale.  The
Shares of  restricted  stock  awarded  at a price must be paid for (a) in United
States  Dollars in cash or by check,  (b) at the  discretion  of the  Board,  by
delivery of Shares  having a Fair Market Value equal on the purchase date to the
purchase  price or (c) at the  discretion of the Board,  by a combination of (a)
and (b) above.

                  10.03.  Duration.  Shares of  restricted  stock  that are to 
be sold to the  Participant  must be fully paid for by the  Participant  within 
the time specified by the Board.  If payment is not timely made, the Incentive 
shall lapse and terminate.

                  10.04. Delivery. As soon as practicable after granting a Stock
Award, the Company shall deliver to the Participant one or more certificates for
the Shares  awarded.  As soon as practicable  after granting a Restricted  Stock
Award  and,  if the  restricted  stock is to be sold to the  Participant,  after
payment of the full  purchase  price,  the  Company  shall  deliver  one or more
certificates for the Shares as provided in Section 10.06.

                  10.05.  Restrictions.  All Shares  issued  under a  Restricted
Stock  Award  shall be subject to such restrictions as the Board may determine, 
including, but not limited to, any or all of the following:

                  (a)  a  prohibition  against  the  sale,   transfer,   pledge,
encumbrance or other  disposition of the Shares.  Such a prohibition shall lapse
at the time or times  that the Board may  determine  (whether  in annual or more
frequent installments, at the time of the death, disability or retirement of the
Participant, or otherwise); and

                  (b) a requirement that the Participant forfeit (or in the case
of Shares  sold to a  Participant,  resell to the  Company  at the same price at
which the  Participant  purchased the Shares) all or any part of those Shares if
the  Participant's  employment  is  terminated  during any period in which those
Shares are subject to restrictions.

                  10.06.  Escrow.  Shares issued under a Restricted  Stock Award
shall be registered in the name of the Participant and deposited,  together with
a stock power endorsed in blank,  in escrow with the Company.  Each  certificate
for those Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

       The  transfer  of  this  certificate  and  the  shares  of  Common  Stock
       represented  by it is  subject  to the  terms and  conditions  (including
       conditions of forfeiture)  contained in the 1988  Incentive  Compensation
       Plan of Dialogic  Corporation  (the  "Company") and an agreement  entered
       into between the registered owner and the Company. Copies of the Plan and
       agreement are on file in the office of the Secretary of the Company.

                  10.07.  End  of  restrictions.  After  the  restrictions  have
expired,   certificates   evidencing  the  Shares  shall  be  delivered  to  the
Participant free of the legend. The Shares, however, shall remain subject to all
other  restrictions  stated in this Plan or in the agreement  providing for that
Incentive.

                  10.08. Stockholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan and any  other  restrictions  determined  by the Board and set forth in the
agreement for the Restricted  Stock Award,  each Participant who receives Shares
under a  Restricted  Stock Award  shall have all of the rights of a  stockholder
during any period in which the Shares are  subject to  restrictions,  including,
but not limited to, the right to vote the Shares.  Dividends  on the Shares paid
in cash or  property  shall be paid to the  Participant.  Dividends  payable  in
Shares or other stock,  however,  shall be paid in restricted  Shares subject to
all provisions of this Section 10.

                  Section 11.  Performance Stock Rights.

                  The award of Performance Stock Rights shall be subject to such
terms  and  conditions  as the  Board  considers  appropriate.  Each  award of a
Performance Stock Right shall include the performance  objectives to be achieved
by the Group or the Participant.  The number of Performance Stock rights awarded
shall be  determined  by the  Board  and  shall be  subject  to such  terms  and
conditions  as the  Board  may  determine.  If the  performance  objectives  are
achieved, the Participant shall be issued a number of Shares equal to the number
of Performance Stock Rights granted to that Participant.

                  Section 12.  Cash Awards.

                  The amount of any Cash Award shall be determined by the Board.
Cash  Awards  shall be subject to other  terms and  conditions  as the Board may
determine.

                  Section 13.  General.

                  13.01.  Effective date.  This Plan was adopted by the Board on
December 5, 1988.

                  13.02.  Duration.  Unless the Plan is terminated earlier,  the
Plan shall  terminate 10 years from the date on which the Plan is adopted by the
Board. No Incentive or other rights under the Plan shall be granted  thereafter.
The Board,  without further approval of the Company's  stockholders,  may at any
time before that date  terminate  the Plan.  After  termination  of the Plan, no
further Incentives may be granted under the Plan.  Incentives granted before any
termination shall continue to be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the
Incentive.

                  13.03.   Non-transferability   of   Incentives;   exercise  by
Participant.  No Incentive (except Cash Awards) may be sold, pledged,  assigned,
encumbered,  disposed of or otherwise transferred other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution.  The Company shall not be required to recognize any
attempted   disposition  by  any  Participant  or  Qualified  Person.  During  a
Participant's  lifetime,  such Participant's  Incentives are only exercisable by
such Participant.

                  13.04.  Effects of  termination  of employment or death.  Each
agreement  providing for an Incentive shall include such provisions as the Board
may  determine for the exercise and  termination  of the  Incentive,  the rights
thereunder,  the forfeiture  thereof and the rights of the Company to repurchase
or convert into  non-voting  or other Shares the Shares  acquired  thereunder in
each case if the  Participant  ceases to be an  employee  of the  Company or any
member of the Group for any reason; provided,  however, that notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary herein or in any Incentive  Agreement,  the provisions
of Section 13.04A shall govern in the event that the employment of a holder of a
Stock Option terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement or in the
event  that the  employment  of a holder  of a Stock  Option is  terminated  for
reasons  other than  death,  Disability  or  Retirement  that do not  constitute
"cause" (any determination of cause to be made by the Committee).  An employee's
employment  shall be  deemed  to have  terminated  when the  Company  gives  the
employee  notice of  termination  or receives a notice of  termination  from the
employee,  irrespective of the subsequent payment of salary,  wages or severance
or other  benefits.  The Board's  determination  as to whether  leave of absence
(whether  or  not by  approval  of the  Company  or by  reason  of  military  or
governmental service) constitutes  termination of employment for purposes of the
Plan shall be binding and conclusive.

                  13.04A  Termination  of  Employment  as  a  Result  of  Death,
Disability or Retirement.  Notwithstanding  any provision to the contrary herein
or in any Incentive Agreement, the following provisions shall apply with respect
to Stock Options held by a Participant at the termination of such  Participant's
employment  with  members  of the  Group in the event  that  such  Participant's
employment  terminates as a result of death,  Disability or Retirement or in the
event that such  Participant's  employment is terminated  for reasons other than
death,   Disability  or  Retirement   that  do  not   constitute   "cause"  (any
determination of "cause" to be made be the Committee):

                  (a) If such  employment  terminates as a result of death,  the
                  Participant's  estate  shall  have the right to  exercise  the
                  Participant's Stock Options for a period ending on the earlier
                  of the expiration dates of such Stock Options or one year from
                  the date of  termination  of  employment,  provided  that such
                  Stock Options shall be  exercisable by such estate only to the
                  extent exercisable on the date of termination of employment.

                  (b) If such  employment  terminates as a result of Disability,
                  the  Participant  shall have the right to  exercise  his Stock
                  Options for a period  ending on the earlier of the  expiration
                  dates of such Stock Options or one year from the date that the
                  Participant is notified that he will not longer be employed by
                  any members of the Group (the "Notification  Date"),  provided
                  that  such  Stock   Options  shall  be   exercisable   by  the
                  Participant after termination of employment only to the extent
                  exercisable on the Notification Date.

                  (c) If such  employment  terminates as a result of Retirement,
                  the  Participant  shall have the right to  exercise  his Stock
                  Options for a period  ending on the earlier of the  expiration
                  dates  of such  Stock  Options  or one  year  from the date of
                  termination  of  employment,  provided that such Stock Options
                  shall be exercisable by the Participant  after Retirement only
                  to the  extent  exercisable  on the  date  of  termination  of
                  employment.

                  (d) If such  employment  terminates  for  reasons  that do not
                  constitute  death,  Disability,  Retirement  or  "cause",  the
                  Participant shall have the right to exercise his Stock Options
                  for a period ending on the earlier of the expiration  dates of
                  such Stock Options or ninety days from the date of termination
                  of  employment,  provided  that such  Stock  Options  shall be
                  exercisable by the Participant after termination of employment
                  only to the extent  exercisable  on the date of termination of
                  employment.

                  13.05.  Incentive  agreements.  Except  in the  case  of  Cash
Awards,  the terms of each Incentive shall be stated in an agreement between the
Company and the  Participant  in a form approved by the Board.  The  Participant
must  execute  and deliver the  agreement  to the Company as a condition  to the
effectiveness  of the  Incentive.  The Board may also  determine  to enter  into
agreements  with  holders  of  options  (a) to  reclassify  or  convert  certain
outstanding options, within the terms of the Plan, as Incentive Stock Options or
as Non-Statutory  Stock Options or (b) to eliminate SARs for all or part of such
options and any other previously issued options. All such agreements may contain
all  terms  and  conditions  as the  Board  considers  advisable  that  are  not
inconsistent   with  the  Plan,   including,   but  not  limited  to,   transfer
restrictions,  rights of first refusal,  forfeiture provisions,  representations
and warranties of the Participant  and provisions to ensure  compliance with all
applicable laws, regulations and rules and provided in Section 13.06.

                  13.06.  Compliance with law. The Company may determine, in its
sole discretion,  that it is necessary or desirable to list, register or qualify
(or to update any listing,  registration or  qualification  of) any Incentive or
the Shares issuable or issued under any Incentive or this Plan on any securities
exchange or under any federal or state  securities  law, or to obtain consent or
approval of any governmental  body as a condition of, or in connection with, the
award of any Incentive, the issuance of Shares under any Incentive or this Plan,
or the removal of any restrictions  imposed on such Shares. If the Company makes
such a determination, the Incentive shall not be awarded or the Shares shall not
be issued or the restrictions shall not be removed,  as applicable,  in whole or
in part, unless and until the listing, registration,  qualification,  consent or
approval  shall  have been  effected  or  obtained  free of any  conditions  not
acceptable  to the Company.  The  Company's  obligation  to sell or issue Shares
under an  Incentive  is  subject  to  compliance  with all  applicable  laws and
regulations. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether the sale
and issue of Shares is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

                  13.07.  Adjustment.  If the outstanding Shares of Common Stock
are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged  for a different  number
or  kind  of  securities  of the  Company  (after  the  filing  of the  Restated
Certificate of  Incorporation  approved by the Board on February 25, 1993) or of
another  corporation,  by  reason  of  reorganization,   merger,  consolidation,
recapitalization,  reclassification,  stock split,  combination of securities or
dividend payable in corporate securities,  then an appropriate  adjustment shall
be made by the  Board in the  number,  kind  and/or  price of  Shares  for which
Incentives  may be granted  under the Plan.  In  addition,  the Board shall make
appropriate  adjustment  in the number,  kind and/or price of Shares as to which
outstanding  Incentives,   or  portions  thereof  then  unexercised,   shall  be
exercisable.  In the event of any such  adjustment,  the  exercise  price of any
Stock  Option,  the  performance  objectives,  restrictions  or other  terms and
conditions of any Incentive and the Shares issuable under any Incentive shall be
adjusted as and to the extent  appropriate,  in the sole and absolute discretion
of the Board, to provide each Participant with  substantially  the same relative
rights before and after such adjustment to the extent practical.


                  13.08.  Withholding.

                  (a) The  Company  shall  have the right to  withhold  from any
payments made under the Plan or to collect as a condition to any award,  payment
or  issuance  of Shares  under the Plan any taxes  required  to be  withheld  by
Federal,  state or local law.  Whenever a Participant  is required to pay to the
Company  an  amount  required  to be  withheld  under  applicable  tax  laws  in
connection  with a  distribution  of Shares or cash or upon  exercise of a Stock
Option or SAR, the  Participant  may satisfy this obligation in whole or in part
by electing (the  "Election") to have the Company withhold from the distribution
that  number  of  Shares  having a value  equal  to the  amount  required  to be
withheld.  The  value of the  Shares to be  withheld  shall be based on the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld
is determined ("Tax Date").

                  (b) Each Election must be made before the Tax Date.  The Board
may  disapprove  any  Election,  may  suspend  or  terminate  the  right to make
Elections,  or may provide with respect to any Incentive  that the right to make
an Election shall not apply to that Incentive. An Election is irrevocable.

                  (c) If a Participant is subject to the restrictions of Section
16 of  Securities  Exchange  Act,  then an Election is subject to the  following
additional restrictions:

                           (i) No  Election  shall be  effective  for a Tax Date
that  occurs  within six months of the Award Date of the Incentive; and

                           (ii) The  Election  must be made  either  six  months
before  the Tax Date or  during a  period  beginning on the third business day 
after release  for publication of the Company's  quarterly  or  annual  summary 
statements  of sales and  earnings and ending on the twelfth business day after 
that release.

                  13.09. No right to continued employment.  No Participant under
the Plan shall have any right to  continue  in the employ of the  Company or any
member of the Group for any period of time  because of his or her  participation
in the Plan.

                  13.10.  No right as  stockholder.  No Participant or Qualified
Person shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares covered
by an  Incentive  unless a stock  certificate  is issued to that  person for the
Shares.  No adjustment  shall be made for cash  dividends or similar  rights for
which the record  date is before the date on which  such  stock  certificate  is
issued.

                  13.11.  Amendment  of the  Plan.  The Board may amend the Plan
from  time to time  in such  respects  as the  Board  deems  advisable.  No such
amendment,  however, shall (a) change or impair an Incentive without the consent
of the Participant or Qualified  Person holding that  Incentive,  or (b) without
the prior approval of the Company  stockholders (i) increase the limits provided
in Section 6.01  (except by  adjustment  under  Section  11.07),  (ii) change or
expand the types of Incentives that may be granted under the Plan,  (iii) change
the class of  persons  eligible  to  receive  Incentives  under  the Plan,  (iv)
materially  increase either the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan
or the  cost of the Plan to the  Company,  or (v) make  any  other  change  that
requires  approval  of  the  Company  stockholders  under  applicable  law or to
preserve the treatment of the Incentive  Stock Options as such under Section 422
of the Code.

                  13.12.  Definition of fair market value. Whenever "Fair Market
Value" of Common Stock is to be  determined  for purposes of this Plan, it shall
be determined as follows:

                  (a) If the Common  Stock is  publicly  traded at the time Fair
Market Value is to be determined  under the Plan, "Fair Market Value" shall mean
closing  sale price on that date on the  over-the-counter  market as reported by
NASDAQ or, if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange,
the  closing  sale  price  on that  date on the  principal  national  securities
exchange on which it is so traded; or

                  (b) If the  Common  Stock is not  publicly  traded at the time
Fair Market Value is to be determined  under the Plan, "Fair Market Value" shall
be determined in good faith from time to time by the Board.

                  13.13.  Repurchase,  replacement and  substitution of options.
Upon  approval of the Board,  the Company may  repurchase a  previously  granted
Stock Option from a Participant by mutual agreement before that Stock Option has
been exercised upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Participant
shall agree,  provided  that the  purchase  price per Share shall not exceed the
amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock  subject to the option
on the date of  purchase  exceeds the option  price.  The Board may agree to the
cancellation  of Stock Options in order to make a  Participant  eligible for the
grant of a  replacement  Stock  Option at a lower  price  than the  option to be
cancelled. In the event of a merger or consolidation,  or the acquisition by the
Company of property or stock of an acquired corporation or any reorganization or
other  transaction  qualifying  under Section 424 of the Code, the Board may, in
accordance with the provisions of that section,  substitute  Stock Options under
this Plan for options under the plan of the acquired corporation,  provided that
(a) the excess of the aggregate  Fair Market Value of the Shares  subject to the
option  immediately  after the  substitution  over the aggregate option price of
such  Shares  is not more  than  the  similar  excess  immediately  before  such
substitution,  and (b) the new option does not give the Participant or Qualified
Person holding that Stock Option additional benefits.

                  13.14.  Fractional  and  minimum  Shares.  In no event shall a
fraction  of a Share  be  purchased  or  issued  under  the Plan  without  Board
approval.  The Board may specify a minimum number of Shares for which each Stock
Option and/or SAR must be exercised,  which number,  however,  shall not be more
than 100.

                  13.15.  Application  of funds.  The  proceeds  received  by 
the  Company  from the sale of Shares under the Plan shall be used for general 
corporate purposes.

                  13.16.  Other  incentives  and  plans.  Nothing  in this Plan
shall  prohibit any member of the Group from establishing other employee incen-
tives and plans.

                  13.17.  Governing  law. The validity and  construction  of the
Plan and of each agreement  evidencing  Incentives shall be governed by the laws
of the State of New Jersey, excluding the conflict-of-laws principles thereof.

         14. Change in Control.  In the event that a "Senior Level Optionee" (as
defined  herein)  experiences a "Termination  Event" (as defined  herein) within
twelve months after a "Change in Control Event" (as defined) occurs, all Options
granted  hereunder which are held by such Senior Level Optionee on the date that
such  Termination  Event occurs (the  "Termination  Date") shall be deemed to be
fully vested  hereunder as of such  Termination Date for purposes of determining
the  exerciseability  of such Options on and after such  Termination  Date.  For
purposes of this Section 14, the term  "Change in Control  Event" shall mean any
of the following events occurring after the "Two Year Date" (as defined herein):

                           (i) the  acquisition by any one person,  or more than
                  one person  acting as a group,  of  ownership  of stock of the
                  Company,  other than any  person or group of persons  who held
                  such total  voting power on April 10, 1994 (the day before the
                  Company  commenced its initial  public  offering),  possessing
                  50.1% or more of the total voting  power of the capital  stock
                  of the Company;

                           (ii) the approval by the  stockholders of the Company
                  of (i) any  consolidation  or merger of the Company,  in which
                  the holders of voting stock of the Company  immediately before
                  the  consolidation  or merger  will not own 50% or more of the
                  voting  shares  of the  continuing  or  surviving  corporation
                  immediately  after such  consolidation or merger,  or (ii) any
                  sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or
                  series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of
                  the assets of the Company; or

                           (iii) a change  of 50%  (rounded  to the  next  whole
                  percent) in the membership of the Board of Directors  within a
                  12-month  period,  unless  the  election,  or  nomination  for
                  election by  stockholders,  of each new  director  within such
                  period was  approved  by the vote of 80%  (rounded to the next
                  whole person) of the  directors  then still in office who were
                  in office at the beginning of such 12-month period.

For purposes of this Section 14, a Senior Level Optionee shall be deemed to have
experienced a "Termination  Event" if, and only if, within twelve months after a
"Change in Control Event" occurs,  (i) such Senior Level  Optionee's  employment
with the Company or any subsidiary  thereof is terminated by the Company or such
subsidiary   without  cause,  (b)  such  Senior  Level  Optionee's  base  salary
(excluding bonuses and/or  commissions) is reduced by more than 10% per annum or
(c)  the  duties  and   responsibilities  of  such  Senior  Level  Optionee  are
substantially reduced without such Senior Level Optionee's consent.
