and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, so long as he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation&#146;s best interests (and if a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful). The statute also provides for indemnification of directors and officers by court order. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;VI of our certificate of incorporation provides that a director or officer of the Company shall not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders, except for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (i)&nbsp;in breach of such person&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii)&nbsp;not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or (iii)&nbsp;resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. If the New Jersey Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer or both of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act as so amended. Any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, or change in law which authorizes the foregoing shall not adversely affect any then existing right or protection of a director or officer of the Company. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article&nbsp;VII of our certificate of incorporation sets forth circumstances under which our directors, officers, employees and agents may be
insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities as such. It provides that we shall indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents and former officers, directors, employees and agents, and any other persons
serving at our request as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement) incurred in connection with any pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to which such officer, director, employee, agent or other person is party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to the full extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act. The indemnification provided herein (i)&nbsp;shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which any person seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-law,</FONT> agreement, or vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in any other capacity, and
(ii)&nbsp;shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and the administrators of any such person. We shall have the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person or persons enumerated above
against any liability asserted against or incurred by them or any of them arising out of their status as corporate directors, officers, employees, or agents whether or not we would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the
provisions of this article. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(i) To include any prospectus required by section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(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 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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
registration statement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:9%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in

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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the

report pursuant to section&nbsp;15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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

Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. </P>

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interest of Named
Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item
6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 14A:3-5
of the NJBCA establishes
provisions that a corporation may (and, unless otherwise provided in the corporation's certificate of incorporation, if the party to be indemnified is successful on the merits or otherwise, must) indemnify any current or former director or
officer made party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding by reason of service in the capacity of a director or officer, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements
and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding, so long as he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation's best interests (and if a criminal
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful). The statute also provides for indemnification of directors and officers by court order.
Article VI of our certificate of incorporation provides that a director or officer of the Company shall not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders, except for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit. If the New Jersey Business Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action
further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer or both of the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation
Act as so amended. Any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, or change in law which authorizes the foregoing shall not adversely affect any then existing right or protection of a director or officer of the Company.
Article VII of our certificate of incorporation sets forth circumstances under which our directors, officers, employees and agents may be
insured or indemnified against liability which they incur in their capacities as such. It provides that we shall indemnify our officers, directors, employees and agents and former officers, directors, employees and agents, and any other persons
serving at our request as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation, association, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement) incurred in connection with any pending or threatened action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, with respect to which such officer, director, employee, agent or other person is party, or is
threatened to be made a party, to the full extent permitted by the New Jersey Business Corporation Act. The indemnification provided herein (i) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which any person seeking indemnification may be
entitled under any
by-law,
agreement, or vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in any other capacity, and
(ii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and the administrators of any such person. We shall have the power, but shall not be obligated, to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person or persons enumerated above
against any liability asserted against or incurred by them or any of them arising out of their status as corporate directors, officers, employees, or agents whether or not we would have the power to indemnify them against such liability under the
provisions of this article.
3
We shall, from time to time, reimburse or advance to any person referred to in
Article VII of our certificate of incorporation the funds necessary for payment of expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this article, upon receipt of a written
undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount(s) if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that the director's or officer's acts or omissions (i) constitute a breach of
the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders, (ii) were not in good faith, (iii) involved a knowing violation of law, (iv) resulted in the director or officer receiving an improper personal benefit,
or (v) were otherwise of such a character that New Jersey law would require that such amount(s) be repaid.
Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 9. Undertakings
(a) 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 of 1933;
(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 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% 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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by these 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
