This Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in
connection with solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Andrea

Shareholders of the Company to be held on July 29, 1998 and any adjournment or
adjournments thereof ("Annual Meeting"). The matters to be considered at the
meeting are set forth in the attached Notice of Meeting.

The Company's executive offices are located at 11-40 45th Road, Long
Island City, New York 11101. On or about June 11, 1998, this Proxy Statement,
the enclosed form of proxy and the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, which contains audited financial
statements, are to be mailed to shareholders of record as of the close of
business on June 9, 1998. The Company will furnish to any shareholder copies
of any exhibits listed in the Form 10-K contained in the Annual Report upon
such shareholder's request and payment of a fee not exceeding the reasonable
expenses of furnishing such copies.

SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION

Proxies in the form enclosed are solicited by and on behalf of the Board
of Directors. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxies
by the Board of Directors. Any proxy given pursuant to such solicitation and
received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted as specified in such
proxy. If no instructions are given, proxies will be voted "FOR" the election
of the nominees listed below under the caption Election Of Directors, "FOR"
the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 25,000,000
shares from 15,000,000 shares, "FOR" the authorization to issue up to 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock, "FOR" the adoption of the Andrea Electronics

Arthur Andersen LLP to serve as the Company's independent accountants for the

meeting and any adjournments thereof. In such unanticipated event that any
other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for action, the
persons named in the proxy will vote the proxies in accordance with their best
judgment. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the
shareholder at any time before it is exercised by written notification
delivered to the Secretary of the Company, by voting in person at the Annual
Meeting, or by delivering another proxy bearing a later date. Attendance by a
shareholder at the Annual Meeting does not alone serve to revoke his or her
proxy.

QUORUM

The presence of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, will constitute a
quorum. Shares represented by proxies that are marked "abstain" and proxies
relating to "street name" shares that are returned to the Company but marked
by brokers as "not voted" ("broker non-votes") will be treated as shares
present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters
unless authority to vote is completely withheld on the proxy.

PROPOSAL TWO:
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors recommends adoption by shareholders of an amendment
to Article Third of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), to increase the number of shares
of Common Stock that may be issued. The Certificate of Incorporation currently
authorizes the issuance of 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock, having a par
value of $.50 per share. The Board of Directors believes it to be in the best
interests of the Company, and has therefore proposed and declared it advisable,
that the Certificate of Incorporation be amended to increase the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock, par value $.50 per share, to 25,000,000
shares. The Board has directed that such amendment be submitted to a vote of
shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

Of the shares presently authorized, 11,083,175 shares of Common Stock
were outstanding on June 9, 1997. This does not include 1,743,000 shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the
the 1991 Plan, 575,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of options that would be granted under the 1998 Plan in the event that
the shareholders of the Company approve the 1998 Plan, the balance of 1,425,000
shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1998 Plan (which number
would be reduced to 225,000 shares if the shareholders do not approve this
Proposal Two), 18,750 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of previously issued warrants, and 1,350,000 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's 6% Convertible Notes
due June 10, 2000. The Board of Directors believes that the increase in the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock will provide for flexibility in
future planning and will enable the Company to obtain financing on suitable
terms. The Company last increased its authorized shares of Common Stock in
1997, from 10,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares.

The Board of Directors believes it important in the years ahead for the
Company to maintain an authorized capitalization that will permit a broad
range of financing alternatives. If the Certificate of Incorporation is
amended, the additional shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance
from time to time for use in obtaining funds for present and future operations,
for use in conjunction with possible acquisitions of businesses, properties,
technologies or products, for use in possible stock dividends and stock splits,
or for any other proper corporate purpose. The Company does not, however, have
any current plans or proposals to issue the shares of Common Stock proposed to
be authorized, except for issuances of shares upon the exercise of options
granted in the future under the 1998 Plan. While the Company may in the
future acquire business, properties, technologies or products for shares of
its Common Stock, the Company is not currently planning or negotiating any
such acquisitions.

The newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have voting and other
rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of Common Stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company could
dilute the equity of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The Board of Directors does not intend to seek further shareholder
approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock in
future transactions unless required by law, by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, or by the rules of any stock exchange upon which the stock may
be listed, or unless the Company deems it advisable to do so to qualify (or
to continue to qualify) an employee benefit plan under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Common Stock would be issued only if the Company
believed the issuance favorable to, and in the interests of, the Company and
its shareholders.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, holders of Common
Stock do not have preemptive rights.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR the adoption of this
proposal.

Page 11

PROPOSAL THREE:
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors recommends adoption by shareholders of an amendment
to Article Third of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, to authorize
the issuance of preferred stock. The Certificate of Incorporation does not
currently authorize the issuance of preferred stock. Although the Company
has no present understandings, agreements, or plans concerning the issuance
of any of the shares of preferred stock to be authorized, the Board of
Directors believes it to be in the best interests of the Company, and has
therefore proposed and declared it advisable, that the Certificate of
Incorporation be amended to authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares
of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share. The Board has directed that
such amendment be submitted to a vote of shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors believes it important in the years ahead for the
Company to maintain an authorized capitalization that will permit a broad
range of financing alternatives. The Board of Directors believes that the
authority to issue shares of preferred stock will provide for flexibility in
future planning and will enable the Company to obtain financing on suitable
terms.

The shares comprising each issuance of Preferred Stock would have the
relative powers, designations, preferences, rights, and qualifications,
limitations and restrictions and other matters as follows:

(1) Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series at
such time or times and for such consideration as the Board of Directors may
determine. All shares of any one series shall be of equal rank and identical
in all respects.

(2) Authority would be expressly granted to the Board of Directors to
fix from time to time, by resolution or resolutions providing for the
establishment and/or issuance of any series of Preferred Stock, the designation
of such series and the powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such
series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including,
without limitation, the following: (a) the distinctive designation and number
of shares comprising such series, which number may (except where otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors in creating such series) be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to
time by action of the Board of Directors; (b) the rate of dividends, if any,
on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be non-cumulative,
cumulative to the extent earned or cumulative (and, if cumulative, from which
date or dates), whether dividends shall be payable in cash, property or rights,
or in shares of the Corporation's capital stock, and the relative rights of
priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series over shares
of any other series or class; (c) whether the shares of that series shall be
redeemable and if so the terms and conditions of such redemption, including
the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount
per share payable in case of redemption (which amount may vary under different
conditions and at different redemption dates) or the property or rights,
including securities of any other corporation, payable in case of redemption;
(d) whether the series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase
of shares of that series and, if so, the terms and amounts payable into such
sinking fund; (e) the rights to which the holders of the shares of that series
shall be entitled in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation,

shall be convertible or exchangeable, the duration for which they shall be

additional shares of such series, or of any shares of any other series, shall
be subject to restrictions as to issuance, or as to the powers, preferences or
rights of any such other series; (h) whether or not the shares of that series
shall have voting rights, the extent of such voting rights on specified matters
or on all matters, the number of votes to which the holder of shares of such
series shall be entitled in respect of each share of such series, whether such
series shall vote generally with the Common Stock on all matters or (either
generally or upon the occurrence of specified circumstances) shall vote
separately as a class or with other series of Preferred Stock; and (i) any
other preferences, privileges and powers and relative, participating, optional
or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
series, as the Board of Directors may deem advisable and as shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of
New York.

While the Company has no present intention to issue shares of Preferred
Stock, any such issuance of shares of Preferred Stock of the Company could
dilute the equity of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and could have the
effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of
the outstanding voting stock of the Company. In addition, such Preferred Stock
may have other rights, including economic rights senior to the Common Stock,
and, as a result, the issuance thereof could have a material adverse effect on
the market value of the Common Stock.

The Board of Directors does not intend to seek further shareholder
approval prior to the issuance of any shares of preferred stock in future
transactions unless required by law, by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, or by the rules of any stock exchange upon which the stock may
be listed, or unless the Company deems it advisable to do so to qualify (or
to continue to qualify) an employee benefit plan under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Preferred Stock would be issued only if the Company
believed the issuance favorable to, and in the interests of, the Company and
its shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR the adoption of this
proposal.

PROPOSAL FOUR:
ADOPTION OF THE ANDREA ELECTRONICS CORPORATION
1998 STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that in order to attract
and retain employees and consultants of the highest caliber, provide increased
incentive for directors, officers and key employees and to continue to promote
the well-being of the Company, it is in the best interests of the Company and
its shareholders to provide directors, officers, key employees and consultants
of the Company and its subsidiaries, through the granting of stock or stock-
related incentive awards, the opportunity to participate in the value and/or
appreciation in value of the Company's Common Stock. The Board of Directors
has therefore deemed that it is in the best interests of the Company to
establish the 1998 Plan, under which 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the
Company would be reserved for issuance (800,000 shares if Proposal Two to
increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance by the
Company is not approved by the shareholders). The 1998 Plan was adopted by the
Board on May 5, 1998, and is subject to shareholder approval within twelve
months of that date. As of June 9, 1998, options covering an aggregate of
575,000 shares have been granted under the 1998 Plan, all of which are
conditioned upon approval of the 1998 Plan by the shareholders. At the Annual
Meeting, shareholders will be asked to adopt the 1998 Plan. With respect to
this matter, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a
negative vote.

The following discussion summarizes certain material provisions of the
1998 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 1998
Plan, which is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Summary of the 1998 Plan

Administration. The 1998 Plan will be administered by the Board or, at
its discretion, by a committee (or committees with respect to different groups
of employees, directors or consultants) (the "Administrator") appointed by the
Board, whose members serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Administrator has
full authority, subject to the provisions of the 1998 Plan, to award (i) Stock
Options, (ii) Stock Purchase Rights and/or (iii) other stock-based awards

Employment Agreements and Change in Control Arrangements

The Company has entered into three-year employment agreements that
commenced on January 1, 1998 with each of John N. Andrea as Co-President of
the Company, Douglas J. Andrea as Co-President of the Company, and Patrick D.
Pilch, as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Under these agreements, the annual base salaries of John N. Andrea, Douglas J.
Andrea and Patrick D. Pilch are $200,000, $200,000 and $175,000, respectively,
and each agreement provides for additional short-term incentive compensation in
the form of annual cash bonuses based on the achievement of performance goals
and long-term incentive compensation in the form of cash or equity-based awards.
Performance goals, measures and annual awards will be determined by the
Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. Under each agreement, on
the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in each agreement), the
Company shall pay the executive, or in the event of his subsequent death, his
beneficiary or beneficiaries, or his estate, as the case may be, a sum equal
to the greater of the payments due for the remaining term of the agreement or
three times the executive's average annual total compensation for the five
preceding taxable years. In addition, on the occurrence of a Change in
Control, all restrictions on any restricted stock then held by the executive
will lapse immediately, incentive stock options and stock appreciation rights
then held by the executive will become immediately exercisable, and any
performance shares or units then held by the executive will vest immediately
in full, and the executive will be entitled to receive benefits due him under
or contributed by the Company on his behalf pursuant to any retirement,
incentive, profit sharing, bonus, performance, disability or other employee
benefit plan maintained by the Company on the executive's behalf to the extent
such benefits are not otherwise paid to the executive under a separate
provision of the agreement. If, during the term of each employment agreement,
the Company terminates the executive's employment other than for Cause (as
defined in each agreement), or the executive resigns for Good Reason (as
defined in each agreement), the Company shall pay to the executive a sum equal
to (i) the amount of the remaining salary payments that the executive would
have earned if he continued his employment with the Company during the
remaining unexpired term of his employment agreement at his base salary at the
date of termination; (ii) the average of the amount of bonus and any other
compensation paid to the executive during the term of his employment agreement
22
times the remaining number of years of the agreement and any fraction thereof;
and (iii) an amount equal to the average of the annual contributions that were
made on the executive's behalf to any employee benefit plans of the Company
during the term of the agreement times the remaining number of years of the
agreement and any fraction thereof.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 1996, the Company formed Andrea Military Communications, LLC
("AMC"), a Delaware limited liability company, in which the Company has a
72.7% equity interest. The purpose of AMC is to collaborate with Northrop
Grumman in accordance with the Company's agreement with Northrop Grumman
relating to the qualification for military sales and subsequent marketing
of headsets that incorporate Andrea Anti-Noise technology to military
customers. Among the members of AMC is a corporation owned by Christopher
Dorney, a director of the Company. In exchange for this corporation acting
as a manager of AMC through Mr. Dorney, this corporation was granted a 13.6%
equity interest in AMC. In addition, commencing upon the award of a contract
for the purchase of the headsets from Northrop Grumman to AMC, this corporation
will receive an annual base compensation of $125,000, plus monetary or other
compensation sufficient to provide insurance and other benefits to Mr. Dorney
equivalent to those of the officers of the Company, plus an annual bonus in a
range between 0% and 40% of the base compensation. Also immediately upon the
award of such purchase contract, this corporation will be awarded warrants to
purchase 50,000 shares of Andrea Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00
per share, which warrants will vest at an annual rate of 20% beginning on the
first anniversary of the date of the award. No assurance can be given that the
headsets that are the subject of the agreement with Northrop Grumman will be
qualified for purchase by the military or that a contract for the purchase of

During 1997 the Company paid an aggregate of $194,206 to Digital
Technologies, Inc., a software development company of which Gary A. Jones, a
director of the Company, is the President. Of this amount, approximately 90%
was for software development fees and approximately 10% was for reimbursable
expenses.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the majority of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors for the Company was composed of
independent Directors. Currently, the Compensation Committee is comprised of
Paul M. Morris, Scott Koondel and Christopher Dorney. The Compensation
Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring compensation policies
of the Company, evaluating the performance of executives and
establishing salary rates and increases.

It is the policy of the Company to evaluate the performance of senior
management annually using subjective criteria established by the Committee.
Compensation increases are determined by the Committee based on annual
evaluations. In addition, the Committee supplements its criteria with
extensive consultative studies of best compensation practices within the
industry in which the Company is engaged. The Committee reviews the
evaluations and sets compensation levels for the coming year.

The Compensation Committee considerations include management skills,
long-term performance, shareholder returns, operating results, new product and
technological developments and introductions, asset-liability management, and
unusual accomplishments as well as economic conditions and other external
events that affect the operations of the Company. Compensation policies must
promote the attraction and retention of highly qualified executives and the
motivation of these executives for performance related to a financial interest
in the success of the Company and the enhancement of long-term shareholders'
value.

In addition to salaries, the Company's compensation plan includes the
awarding of stock options based on performance, length of service and salary
grades. The awards of stock options should provide increased motivation to
work for the success of the Company, thereby increasing the potential for
personal financial success. Options granted to executives and employees are
at a price equal to the closing price of the Company's stock on the date of
grant.

PROPOSAL TWO:
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Of the shares presently authorized, 11,101,175 shares of Common Stock
were outstanding on July ___, 1997. This does not include 1,743,000 shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the
the 1991 Plan, 18,750 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon
exercise of previously issued warrants, and 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock
reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Company's 6% Convertible Notes
due June 10, 2000 (the "Notes").

The Notes were issued on June 10, 1998 in the outstanding principal
amount of $10,753,000, and bear interest from the date of issuance at a rate
of 6% per annum. With respect to any portion of the Notes converted prior to
their maturity, accrued interest is payable on such portion at the time of
conversion, otherwise accrued interest is payable at the maturity of the
Notes. At the option of the Company, interest is payable in the form of
cash or shares of Common Stock at the conversion price then in effect.
The conversion price for the Notes is the average of the two lowest
closing prices of the Common Stock during the 30 trading days preceding
any date of conversion, subject to a maximum conversion price of $16.125
per share. The maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion is
2,100,000 shares. If this maximum number of shares were to be issued and
thereafter there is any remaining unconverted principal amount of the Notes,
the interest rate on such remaining principal amount would be increased to
17% per annum. The Company will use the proceeds from the issuance of the
Notes primarily for working capital requirements. While any conversion of
the Notes would increase the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
of the Company, management believes that this dilutive impact would be
outweighed by the long-term benefits of this financing.

The Board of Directors believes that it is important in the years ahead
for the Company to maintain an authorized capitalization that will permit a
broad range of financing alternatives, and that the proposed increase in the
number of authorized shares of Common Stock will provide for flexibility in
future planning and will enable the Company to obtain financing on suitable
terms. The Company last increased its authorized shares of Common Stock in
1997, from 10,000,000 shares to 15,000,000 shares. If the Certificate of
Incorporation is amended, the additional shares of Common Stock will be
available for issuance from time to time for use in obtaining funds for present
and future operations, for use in conjunction with possible acquisitions of
businesses, properties, technologies or products, for use in possible stock
26
dividends and stock splits, for issuance under the Company's proposed
1998 Stock Option Plan, or for any other proper corporate purpose. The
Company does not, however, have any current plans or proposals to issue the
shares of Common Stock proposed to be authorized, except for issuances of
shares upon the exercise of options granted in the future under the 1998 Plan.
While the Company may in the future acquire business, properties, technologies
or products for shares of its Common Stock, the Company is not currently
planning or negotiating any such acquisitions.

The newly authorized shares of Common Stock will have voting and other
rights identical to those of the currently authorized shares of Common Stock.

Any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company could
dilute the equity of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The Board of Directors does not intend to seek further shareholder
approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock in
future transactions unless required by law, by the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, or by the rules of any stock exchange upon which the stock may
be listed, or unless the Company deems it advisable to do so to qualify (or
to continue to qualify) an employee benefit plan under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Common Stock would be issued only if the Company
believed the issuance to be favorable to, and in the interests of, the
Company and its shareholders.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, holders of Common
Stock do not have preemptive rights.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR the adoption of this
proposal.

27
PROPOSAL THREE:
AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

The Board of Directors believes it is important in the years ahead for
the Company to maintain an authorized capitalization that will permit a broad
range of financing alternatives. The Board of Directors believes that the
authority to issue shares of preferred stock will provide for flexibility in
future planning and will enable the Company to obtain financing on suitable
terms.

(2) Authority would be expressly granted to the Board of Directors to
fix from time to time, by resolution or resolutions providing for the
establishment and/or issuance of any series of Preferred Stock, the designation
of such series and the powers, preferences and rights of the shares of such
series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including,
without limitation, the following: (a) the distinctive designation and number
of shares comprising such series, which number may (except where otherwise
provided by the Board of Directors in creating such series) be increased or
decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) from time to
time by action of the Board of Directors; (b) the rate of dividends, if any,
on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be non-cumulative,
cumulative to the extent earned or cumulative (and, if cumulative, from which
date or dates), whether dividends shall be payable in cash, property or rights,
or in shares of the Corporation's capital stock, and the relative rights of
priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series over shares
of any other series or class; (c) whether the shares of that series shall be
redeemable and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including
the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount
per share payable in case of redemption (which amount may vary under different
conditions and at different redemption dates) or the property or rights,
including securities of any other corporation, payable in case of redemption;
(d) whether the series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase
of shares of that series and, if so, the terms and amounts payable into such
47
consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority
of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration
received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent
of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received
upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of
Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market
value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in
the merger or sale of assets.

14. DATE OF GRANT. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase Right
shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the
determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other
later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the
determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

a. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may at any time amend,
alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

b. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Company shall obtain shareholder
approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to
comply with Applicable Laws.

c. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION. No amendment, alteration,
suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any
Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the
Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee
and the Company.

16. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF SHARES.

a. LEGAL COMPLIANCE. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such
Option or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares
shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the
approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

b. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. As a condition to the exercise of an
Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising
such Option or Stock Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of
any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and
without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

17. INABILITY TO OBTAIN AUTHORITY. The inability of the Company to
obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company's counsel to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any
liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which
such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

48
18. RESERVATION OF SHARES. The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

19. SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall be subject to approval by the
shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan
is adopted. Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to
the degree required under Applicable Laws.

between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of

Code Section 422(d) it shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Stock Option
("NSO").

50
b. EXERCISE OF OPTION.
(i) Right to Exercise. This Option is exercisable during its term
in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set out in the Notice of Grant and
the applicable provisions of the Plan and this Option Agreement.

(ii) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable by delivery of
an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise
Notice"), which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number
of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised
Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by
the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice shall
be completed by the Optionee and delivered to the secretary of the Company.
The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise
Price as to all Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised
upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice
accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price.

No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless
such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such
compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date the Option is exercised with respect
to such Exercised Shares.

c. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall
be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:
(i) cash;

(ii) check;

(iii) consideration received by the Company under a formal cashless
exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan;

(iv) surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the
Exercised Shares; or

(v) with the Administrator's consent, delivery of Optionee's
promissory note (the "Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, in the
amount of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares together with
the execution and delivery by the Optionee of the Security Agreement attached

d. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION. This Option may not be
transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the
Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding
upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Optionee.

51
e. TERM OF OPTION. This Option may be exercised only within the
term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only
in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.

f. TAX CONSEQUENCES. Some of the federal tax consequences relating
to this Option, as of the date of this Option, are set forth below. THIS
SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE
SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE
EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

g. EXERCISING THE OPTION.
(i) Nonstatutory Stock Option. The Optionee may incur regular
federal income tax liability upon exercise of a NSO. The Optionee will be
treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary income
tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price.
If the Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be
required to withhold from his or her compensation or collect from Optionee
and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a
percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise, and may
refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding
amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.

(ii) Incentive Stock Option. If this Option qualifies as an ISO,
the Optionee will have no regular federal income tax liability upon its
exercise, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Exercised Shares on the date of exercise over their aggregate Exercise Price
will be treated as an adjustment to alternative minimum taxable income for
federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to alternative minimum tax
in the year of exercise. In the event that the Optionee ceases to be an
Employee but remains a Service Provider, any Incentive Stock Option of the
Optionee that remains unexercised shall cease to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock
Option on the date three (3) months and one (1) day following such change of
status.

h. DISPOSITION OF SHARES.
(i) NSO. If the Optionee holds NSO Shares for at least one year,
any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term
capital gain for federal income tax purposes.

(ii) ISO. If the Optionee holds ISO Shares for at least one year
after exercise and two years after the grant date, any gain realized on
disposition of the Shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for
federal income tax purposes. If the Optionee disposes of ISO Shares within
one year after exercise or two years after the grant date, any gain realized
on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at
ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the lesser of
(A) the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares acquired on
the date of exercise and the aggregate Exercise Price, or (B) the difference
between the sale price of such Shares and the aggregate Exercise Price. Any
additional gain will be taxed as capital gain, short-term or long-term
depending on the period that the ISO Shares were held.

52
i. NOTICE OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION OF ISO SHARES. If the
Optionee sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant
to an ISO on or before the later of (i) two years after the grant date, or
(ii) one year after the exercise date, the Optionee shall immediately notify
the Company in writing of such disposition. The Optionee agrees that he or
she may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the
compensation income recognized from such early disposition of ISO Shares by
payment in cash or out of the current earnings paid to the Optionee.

j. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; GOVERNING LAW. The Plan is incorporated herein
by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire
agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the
Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not
be modified adversely to the Optionee's interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and Optionee. This agreement is governed by the
internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of New Jersey.

k. NO GUARANTEE OF CONTINUED SERVICE. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY
(AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED AN OPTION OR
PURCHASING SHARES HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING
SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY
PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL NOT INTERFERE WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE
COMPANY'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT
ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

By your signature and the signature of the Company's representative below,
you and the Company agree that this Option is granted under and governed by
the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option Agreement. Optionee has
reviewed the Plan and this Option Agreement in their entirety, has had an
opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option
Agreement and fully understands all provisions of the Plan and Option
Agreement. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive and final
all decisions or interpretations of the Administrator upon any questions
relating to the Plan and Option Agreement. Optionee further agrees to notify
