Item 4. Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5. Interest of Named Expert and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The following summary describes the relevant terms and conditions with
respect to the indemnification of a corporate agent of the Company (the
"Corporate Agent"), including, without limitation, any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, pursuant to Article VI of
the Company's By-Laws (the "By-Laws") and Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey
Business Corporation Act (the "Corporation Act").

     The Company shall indemnify a Corporate Agent against the Corporate Agent's
expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving the
Corporate Agent by reason of being or having been a Corporate Agent of the
Company, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, if (a) such
Corporate Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Corporate Agent
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and (b) with respect to any criminal proceeding, such Corporate Agent
had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

     In a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, a Corporate Agent shall
be indemnified by the Company for any expenses and liabilities incurred if the
Corporate Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Corporate Agent
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. However, if the Corporate Agent is adjudged to be liable to the
Company, there shall be no indemnification of the Corporate Agent's expenses and
liabilities unless and only to the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court, or
the court in which such proceeding is brought, shall determine upon application
that such Corporate Agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses and liabilities.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     Unless ordered by a court, the Company will indemnify a Corporate Agent
against expenses and liabilities only as authorized in a specific case upon a
determination by (a) a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors of
the Company or a committee thereof, consisting of directors who were not parties
to or otherwise involved in the proceedings, or (b) by independent legal
counsel, or (c) by the shareholders of the Company, that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because the Corporate Agent met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth above.

     No indemnification shall be made by the Company to or on behalf of a
Corporate Agent if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the
Corporate Agent establishes that the Corporate Agent's acts or omissions (a)
were in breach of the Corporate Agent's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law,
or (c) resulted in receipt by the Corporate Agent of an improper personal
benefit.

     The Company shall indemnify a Corporate Agent against expenses if the
Corporate Agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding
involving the Corporate Agent by reason of being or having been a Corporate
Agent of the Company.

     The Company may pay the expenses incurred by a Corporate Agent in
connection with a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding as authorized by the Company's Board of Directors upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Corporate Agent to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that the Corporate Agent is not entitled to such
indemnification.

     The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate
Agent against any such expenses and liabilities.

     If upon application for indemnification by a Corporate Agent the Company
refuses to provide indemnification or advance payment of expenses to the
Corporate Agent as required or permitted under the By-Laws, the Corporate Agent
may apply to the court for an award of such indemnification and the payment in
advance of such expenses by the Company.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to
Article VI of the Company's By-Laws shall not exclude any other rights to which
a Corporate Agent may be entitled under or pursuant to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), other
articles of the By-Laws, an agreement, vote of shareholders, the Corporation
Act, or otherwise.

     With respect to provisions included in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation limiting the liability of officers and directors of the Company,
Article VIII of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, as they exist
or may hereafter be amended, the directors and officers of the Company shall not
be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages as a result
of a breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders, 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 shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing
violation of law, or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an

                                       5
<PAGE>

improper personal benefit. Article VIII of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation applies with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to or
after the date of its adoption.

     Not applicable.

                      on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 1999).

Item 9. Undertakings.

     The Company 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 such 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; and (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 (i) and (ii)
herein do not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by such provisions is contained in periodic reports
filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this 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

                                       6
<PAGE>

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.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Company'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 this 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.

     (5) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company 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
Company 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 issues.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

Item 5. Interest of Named Expert and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The following summary describes the relevant terms and conditions with
respect to the indemnification of a corporate agent of the Company (the
"Corporate Agent"), including, without limitation, any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, pursuant to Article VI of
the Company's By-Laws (the "By-Laws") and Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey
Business Corporation Act (the "Corporation Act").

     The Company shall indemnify a Corporate Agent against the Corporate Agent's
expenses and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving the
Corporate Agent by reason of being or having been a Corporate Agent of the
Company, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, if (a) such
Corporate Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Corporate Agent
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and (b) with respect to any criminal proceeding, such Corporate Agent
had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful.

     In a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, a Corporate Agent shall
be indemnified by the Company for any expenses and liabilities incurred if the
Corporate Agent acted in good faith and in a manner that the Corporate Agent
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company. However, if the Corporate Agent is adjudged to be liable to the
Company, there shall be no indemnification of the Corporate Agent's expenses and
liabilities unless and only to the extent that the New Jersey Superior Court, or
the court in which such proceeding is brought, shall determine upon application
that such Corporate Agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for
such expenses and liabilities.

                                       4
Unless ordered by a court, the Company will indemnify a Corporate Agent
against expenses and liabilities only as authorized in a specific case upon a
determination by (a) a majority vote of a quorum of the Board of Directors of
the Company or a committee thereof, consisting of directors who were not parties
to or otherwise involved in the proceedings, or (b) by independent legal
counsel, or (c) by the shareholders of the Company, that indemnification is
proper in the circumstances because the Corporate Agent met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth above.

     No indemnification shall be made by the Company to or on behalf of a
Corporate Agent if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the
Corporate Agent establishes that the Corporate Agent's acts or omissions (a)
were in breach of the Corporate Agent's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a knowing violation of law,
or (c) resulted in receipt by the Corporate Agent of an improper personal
benefit.

     The Company shall indemnify a Corporate Agent against expenses if the
Corporate Agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in any proceeding
involving the Corporate Agent by reason of being or having been a Corporate
Agent of the Company.

     The Company may pay the expenses incurred by a Corporate Agent in
connection with a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding as authorized by the Company's Board of Directors upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of the Corporate Agent to repay such amount if it is
ultimately determined that the Corporate Agent is not entitled to such
indemnification.

     The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Corporate
Agent against any such expenses and liabilities.

     If upon application for indemnification by a Corporate Agent the Company
refuses to provide indemnification or advance payment of expenses to the
Corporate Agent as required or permitted under the By-Laws, the Corporate Agent
may apply to the court for an award of such indemnification and the payment in
advance of such expenses by the Company.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided pursuant to
Article VI of the Company's By-Laws shall not exclude any other rights to which
a Corporate Agent may be entitled under or pursuant to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), other
articles of the By-Laws, an agreement, vote of shareholders, the Corporation
Act, or otherwise.

     With respect to provisions included in the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation limiting the liability of officers and directors of the Company,
Article VIII of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the
fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, as they exist
or may hereafter be amended, the directors and officers of the Company shall not
be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for damages as a result
of a breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders, 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 shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing
violation of law, or (c) resulting in receipt by such person of an

                                       5
improper personal benefit. Article VIII of the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation applies with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to or
after the date of its adoption.

     (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.

     (4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the Company'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 this 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.

     (5) That, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 Company of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Company 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
Company 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 issues.
