<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:72.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Company is organized under the laws of the State
of New Jersey. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act, as amended (the &#147;NJBCA&#148;),
provides 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 </font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:72.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">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, for an act or omission not in
good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or resulting from receipt
of an improper personal benefit.</font></p>

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.</font></h2>

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 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
3
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, for an act or omission not in
good faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or resulting from receipt
of an improper personal benefit.
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 TWELFTH of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company 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:
4
(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 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.
5
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 TWELFTH 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 7.
Exemption
from Registration.
Not applicable.
Item 8
.
Exhibits.
An Exhibit Index, containing a list of all
exhibits filed with this Registration Statement, is included on page E-1.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to submit the Plan and any
amendment thereto to the Internal Revenue Service in a timely manner and will
make all changes required by the Internal Revenue Code in order to qualify the
Plan.
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;
(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;
6
(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 (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do
not apply if 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 Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 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.
