<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">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.



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 by-laws 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.

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)&nbsp;in breach of such
Director&#146;s or Officer&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or stockholders,
(ii)&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.

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

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.

All other reports filed by the Company pursuant
to sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end

All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered

Statement and to be part hereof from the dates of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

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 or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein) modifies or

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
2
Table of Contents
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 by-laws 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.
3
Table of Contents
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 XII
of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation 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;
(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
4
Table of Contents
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.
* * *
The
Company is insured against liabilities which it may incur by reason of
Article XII 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 not be subject
to indemnification.
Item 8 Exhibits
An Exhibit Index, containing a list of all exhibits filed with this
registration statement, is included on page 11.

Table of Contents
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, unless the information is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement;
(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, unless the
information is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that are incorporated by reference 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.
(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
6
Table of Contents
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.
The foregoing undertakings are required by Item 512(a), (b) and (h) of
Regulation S-K.
