exemption from liability is permitted under the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the

employee or agent of the corporation; (ii)&nbsp;any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of any constituent corporation absorbed by the
corporation in a consolidation or merger, but only to the extent that (a)&nbsp;the

the best interests of the corporation for the corporation to assume the defense of
any such Proceeding, the Board of Directors or such committee may authorize and
direct that the corporation assume the defense of the Proceeding and pay all
expenses in connection therewith without requiring such Corporate Agent to undertake
to pay or repay any part thereof. Such assumption shall not affect the right of any
such Corporate Agent to employ his or her own counsel or to recover indemnification
under this By-law to the extent that he may be entitled thereto.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;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&#146;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering
thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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 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
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.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article IX of the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that, as to acts or
omissions occurring on or after May 6, 1988, no director or officer of the Registrant shall be
liable to the Registrant or any of its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of any duty
owed as director or officer to the Registrant or any of its shareholders, to the extent that such
exemption from liability is permitted under the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the
"Statute"), as the same may be amended from time to time, or under any revision thereof or
successor statute thereto. Amendments to the Statute which were adopted in 1987 (the "New Jersey
Amendments") permit such exemptions from liability as the foregoing for officers and directors,
except in the case of a breach of duty based on an act or omission (a) in breach of such person's
duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its shareholders, (b) not in good faith or involving a knowing
violation of law or (c) resulting in the receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.
In addition, Article IV of the Registrant's By-laws provides as follows:
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the corporation shall indemnify
the following persons to the fullest extent permitted and in the manner provided by
and the circumstances described in the laws of the State of New Jersey, including
Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act and any amendments
thereof or supplements thereto: (i) any person who is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation; (ii) any person who is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of any constituent corporation absorbed by the
corporation in a consolidation or merger, but only to the extent that (a) the
constituent corporation was obligated to indemnify such person at the effective date
of the merger or consolidation or (b) the claim or potential claim of such person
for indemnification was disclosed to the corporation and the operative merger or
consolidation documents contain an express agreement by the corporation to pay the
same; (iii) any person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other domestic or
foreign corporation, or any partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust,
employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether or not for profit; and (iv) the
legal representative of any of the foregoing persons (collectively, a "Corporate
Agent").
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the corporation shall not be
obligated under this Article IV to provide indemnification (i) to any bank, trust
company, insurance company, partnership or other entity, or any director, officer,
employee or agent thereof or (ii) to any other person who is not a director, officer
or employee of the corporation, in respect of any
II-4
Table of Contents
service by such person or entity, whether at the request of the corporation or by
agreement therewith, as investment advisor, actuary, custodian, trustee, fiduciary
or consultant to any employee benefit plan.
(c) To the extent that any right of indemnification granted hereunder requires any
determination that a Corporate Agent shall have been successful on the merits or
otherwise in any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined) or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, the Corporate Agent shall be deemed to have been
"successful" if, without any settlement having been made by the Corporate Agent, (i)
such Proceeding shall have been dismissed or otherwise terminated or abandoned
without any judgment or order having been entered against the Corporate Agent, (ii)
such claim, issue or other matter therein shall have been dismissed or otherwise
eliminated or abandoned as against the Corporate Agent, or (iii) with respect to any
threatened Proceeding, the Proceeding shall have been abandoned or there shall have
been a failure for any reason to institute the Proceeding within a reasonable time
after the same shall have been threatened or after any inquiry or investigation that
could have led to any such Proceeding shall have been commenced. The Board of
Directors or any authorized committee thereof shall have the right to determine what
constitutes a "reasonable time" or an "abandonment" for purposes of this paragraph
(c), and any such determination shall be conclusive and final.
(d) To the extent that any right of indemnification granted hereunder shall require
any determination that the Corporate Agent has been involved in a Proceeding by
reason of his or her being or having been a Corporate Agent, the Corporate Agent
shall be deemed to have been so involved if the Proceeding involves action allegedly
taken by the Corporate Agent for the benefit of the corporation or in the
performance of his or her duties or the course of his or her employment for the
corporation.
(e) If a Corporate Agent shall be a party defendant in the Proceeding, other than a
Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, and the Board of Directors or a
duly authorized committee of disinterested directors shall determine that it is in
the best interests of the corporation for the corporation to assume the defense of
any such Proceeding, the Board of Directors or such committee may authorize and
direct that the corporation assume the defense of the Proceeding and pay all
expenses in connection therewith without requiring such Corporate Agent to undertake
to pay or repay any part thereof. Such assumption shall not affect the right of any
such Corporate Agent to employ his or her own counsel or to recover indemnification
under this By-law to the extent that he may be entitled thereto.
(f) As used herein, the term "Proceeding" shall mean and include 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.
(g) The right to indemnification granted under this Article IV shall not be
exclusive of any other rights to which any Corporate Agent seeking indemnification
hereunder may be entitled.
Pursuant to the authority granted in the Statute, the Registrant has procured insurance for
the purpose of substantially covering its future potential liability for indemnification under the
provisions discussed above and certain future potential liability of individual directors and
officers incurred in their capacity as such which is not subject to indemnification.

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;
(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 registration
statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
the registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement; and
(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 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
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.
