best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification

indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court, or the court in which such
proceeding was brought, shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.

Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or other agent in connection with a proceeding may be, under certain circumstances, paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors. The power to indemnify and advance expenses under the NJBCA does not exclude other rights to which a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation may be entitled to under
the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise, provided that no indemnification is permitted to be made to or on behalf of such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person
establishes that his or her acts or omissions were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, were not in good faith or involved a violation of the law, or resulted in the receipt by such person of an improper

indemnify him or her against such expenses and liabilities under the NJBCA. All of the foregoing powers of indemnification granted to a New Jersey corporation may be exercised by such corporation notwithstanding the absence of any provision in its
certificate of incorporation or bylaws authorizing the exercise of such powers. However, a New Jersey corporation may, with certain limitations, provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director or officer shall not be personally liable,

person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its

adjudication of such issue. </P>

Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein (or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated

Item 4. Description of Securities.
The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and, therefore, the description of the securities is omitted in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Pamela Lopata who prepared the opinion on the validity of the securities being registered is an officer and employee of the Company and holds a
substantial interest in the Company as defined under Item 509 of Regulation S-K.
Item 6. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
The Company is organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act,
as amended (the "NJBCA"), provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power generally to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents against expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving such
person by reason of his or her being or having been a corporate agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification
of directors, officers, employees and other agents against expenses is permitted if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; however, no
indemnification is permitted in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court, or the court in which such
proceeding was brought, shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such indemnification.

Expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or other agent in connection with a proceeding may be, under certain circumstances, paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition
of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors. The power to indemnify and advance expenses under the NJBCA does not exclude other rights to which a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation may be entitled to under
the certificate of incorporation, by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise, provided that no indemnification is permitted to be made to or on behalf of such person if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such person
establishes that his or her acts or omissions were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, were not in good faith or involved a violation of the law, or resulted in the receipt by such person of an improper
personal benefit.
Under the NJBCA, a New Jersey corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director,
officer, employee or other agent against any expenses incurred in any proceeding and any liabilities asserted against him or her by reason of his or her being or having been a corporate agent, whether or not the corporation has the power to
indemnify him or her against such expenses and liabilities under the NJBCA. All of the foregoing powers of indemnification granted to a New Jersey corporation may be exercised by such corporation notwithstanding the absence of any provision in its
certificate of incorporation or bylaws authorizing the exercise of such powers. However, a New Jersey corporation may, with certain limitations, provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director or officer shall not be personally liable,
or shall be liable only to the extent therein provided, to the corporation or its shareholders for damages for breach of a duty owed to the corporation or its shareholders.
Reference is made to Sections 14A:3-5 and 14A:2-7(3) of the NJBCA in connection with the above summary of indemnification, insurance and
limitation of liability.
Article TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company reads as follows:
TWELFTH:
SECTION A. A Director
or Officer of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders, except for liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or
omission (i) in breach of such Director's or Officer's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or stockholders, (ii) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (iii) resulting in receipt by such Director or
Officer of an improper personal benefit. The provisions of this section shall be effective as and to the fullest extent that, in whole or in part, they shall be authorized or permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey. No repeal or
modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section A nor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any modification of law shall adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or Officer of the Corporation which exists at the time
of such repeal or modification.
SECTION B.
1. As used in this Section B:
(a) "corporate agent" means any person who is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Corporation and any person who is or
was director, officer, trustee or employee of any other enterprise, serving, or continuing to serve, as such at the written request of the Corporation, signed by the Chairman or the President or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, or
the legal representative of any such person;
II-2
Table of Contents
(b) "other enterprise" means any domestic or foreign corporation, other than the
Corporation, and any partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not for profit, served by a corporate agent;
(c) "expenses" means reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees;
(d) "liabilities" means amounts paid or incurred in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties;
(e) "proceeding" means any pending, threatened or completed civil, criminal, administrative or arbitrative action, suit or
proceeding, and any appeal therein and any inquiry or investigation which could lead to such action, suit or proceeding, and shall include any proceeding as so defined existing at or before, and any proceedings relating to facts occurring or
circumstances existing at or before, the adoption of this Section B.
2. Each corporate agent shall be indemnified by the
Corporation against his expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving the corporate agent by reason of his having been such corporate agent to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter
be amended or modified. The right to indemnification conferred by this paragraph 2 shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the
fullest extent authorized by applicable law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended or modified. The right to indemnification conferred in this paragraph 2 shall be a contract right.
3. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any corporate agent against any expenses incurred in any proceedings
and any liabilities asserted against him by reason of his having been a corporate agent, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such expenses and liabilities under applicable law as the same exists or may
hereafter be amended or modified. The Corporation may purchase such insurance from, or such insurance may be reinsured in whole or in part by, an insurer owned by or otherwise affiliated with the Corporation, whether or not such insurer does
business with other insureds.
The rights and authority conferred in this Section B shall not exclude any other right to which any
person may be entitled under this Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise. No repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section B nor, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of a corporate agent which exists at the time of such repeal or modification.

against certain liabilities which it may incur by reason of Article TWELFTH of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation. In addition, directors and officers of the Company are insured at the expense of the Company against certain
liabilities which might arise out of their service and for which they may not be entitled to indemnification.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
Rule 415 Offering
. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided however, that paragraphs
(a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
Subsequent Exchange Act Documents
. The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Indemnification
. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
