incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise; provided that no
indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts or omissions (a)
were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b)&nbsp;were not
in good
faith or involved in a knowing violation of law or (c)&nbsp;resulted in receipt by the director or

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The New Jersey Business Corporation Act provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power
to indemnify a director or officer against his or her expenses and liabilities in connection with
any proceeding involving the director or officer by reason of his or her being or having been such
a director or officer, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, if such a
director or officer 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 director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall not exclude any other rights, including
the right to be indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in proceedings by or in the
right of the corporation, to which a director or officer may be entitled under a certificate of
incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise; provided that no
indemnification shall be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts or omissions (a)
were in breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) were not
in good
faith or involved in a knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by the director or
officer of an improper personal benefit.
3
Table of Contents
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, directors and officers of the Company shall not
be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed to
the Company or its stockholders, except that a director or officer shall not be relieved from
liability for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's duty
of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing
violation of law or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.
The By-Laws of the Company provide that a former, present or future director, officer or
employee of the Company or the legal representative of any such director, officer or employee shall
be indemnified by the Company:
(a) against reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees paid or incurred where such
person has been successful in the defense on the merits or otherwise of 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 or in
defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, brought by reason of such person's being or having
been such director, officer or employee, and
(b) with respect to the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
for which indemnification is not made under (a) above, against reasonable costs, disbursements
(which shall include amounts paid in satisfaction of settlements, judgments, fines and penalties,
exclusive, however, of any amount paid or payable to the Company) and counsel fees if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Company, and in connection with any criminal proceedings such person also had
no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, with the determination as to whether the
applicable standard of conduct was met to be made by a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors (sitting as a Committee of the Board) who were not parties to such inquiry,
investigation, action, suit or proceeding or by any one or more
disinterested counsel to whom the question may be referred by the Board of Directors;
provided, however, in connection with any proceeding by or in the right of the Company, no
4
Table of Contents
indemnification shall be provided as to any person adjudged by any court to be liable to the
Company except as and to the extent determined by such court.
The Company enters into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and enters
into insurance agreements on its own behalf. The indemnification agreements provide that the
Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
authorized or permitted by the Business Corporation Act of the State of New Jersey, or any other
applicable law, or by any amendment thereof or other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting
such indemnification that is adopted after the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company agrees to hold harmless and indemnify its directors and officers to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law against any and all expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by its directors and officers in
connection with the defense of any present or future threatened, pending or completed claim,
action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that they were, are, shall be or shall have been a
director or officer of the Company, or are or were serving, shall serve or shall have served, at
the request of the Company, as director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.

Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1.(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to the registration statement 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.
(b) 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.
(c) 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.
2.
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"),
each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
3.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("the
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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the
7
Table of Contents
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.
