 <P ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><FONT SIZE=2>The Company shall indemnify its present and former
 officers, directors, employees and agents and persons serving at its request
 against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, fines or amounts paid
 in settlement incurred in connection with any pending or threatened civil or
 criminal proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey
 Business Corporation Act. Article VII also provides that such indemnification
 shall not exclude any other rights to indemnification to which a person may
 otherwise be entitled, and authorizes the Company to purchase insurance on
 behalf of any of the persons enumerated against any liability whether or not
 the Company would have the power to indemnify him under the provisions of
 Article VII. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act empowers a corporation
 to indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses and liabilities incurred
 in connection with any proceeding (other than a derivative lawsuit) involving
 the corporate agent by reason of his being or having been a corporate agent
 if (a) the agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
 to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (b)
 with respect to any criminal proceeding, the corporate agent had no
 reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. For purposes of the
 Act, the term &#147;corporate agent&#148; includes any present or former director,
 officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and a person serving as a
 &#147;corporate agent&#148; for any other enterprise at the request of the corporation.
 With respect to any derivative action, the corporation is empowered to
 indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses (but not his liabilities)
 incurred in connection with any proceeding involving the corporate agent by
 reason of his being or having been a corporate agent if the agent acted in
 good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
 the best interests of the corporation. However, only the court in which the
 proceeding was brought can empower a corporation to indemnify a corporate
 agent against expenses with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which
 the agent was adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct. The corporation
 may indemnify a corporate agent in a specific case if a determination is made
 by any of the following that the applicable standard of conduct was met: (i)
 the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, acting by a majority vote of
 a quorum consisting of disinterested directors; (ii) by independent legal
 counsel if there is not a quorum of disinterested directors or if the
 disinterested quorum empowers counsel to make the determination; or (iii) by
 the stockholders. A corporate agent is entitled to mandatory indemnification
 to the extent that the agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in any
 proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. If
 a corporation fails or refuses to indemnify a corporate agent, whether the
 indemnification is permissive or mandatory, the agent may apply to a court to
 grant him the requested indemnification. In advance of the final </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>The registrant
hereby undertakes: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>(a)(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)
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 in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
&#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective registration
statement.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)
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;</FONT></P>

<P ALIGN=CENTER><FONT SIZE=2>5</FONT></P>

<HR NOSHADE ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH="100%" SIZE=4><P ALIGN=LEFT STYLE='PAGE-BREAK-BEFORE: ALWAYS'></P><PAGE>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply because this
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&nbsp;13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference to the Registration Statement. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant&#146;s annual
report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or 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. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>(c) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 final adjudication of such issue. </FONT></P>

the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Borough of
Bernardsville, State of New Jersey, on the 11th day of June, 2012. Pursuant to
the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, this registration statement has
been signed by the following persons in the capacities and on the date
indicated.</FONT></P>

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The
Company is subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and, accordingly, files periodic
reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). Reports, proxy statements and other information concerning the Company
filed with the SEC may be inspected and copies may be obtained (at prescribed
rates) at the SEC's Public Reference Section 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580
Washington, DC 20549. The Commission also maintains a Website that contains
copies of such material. The address of the Commission's Website is http://www.sec.gov.
The
following documents filed with the SEC are hereby incorporated by reference
into this Registration Statement:
(a) the audited financial statements of the
 Registrant as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 on Form 10-K filed
 with the SEC on March 20, 2012;
(b) the Registrant's quarterly report for the period
 ended March 31, 2012 on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 14, 2012; and
(c) the description of the Registrant's Common
 Stock, no par value per share, contained in the Registrant's Registration
 Statement on Form 8-A, File No. 000-50055, as filed with the Securities and
 Exchange Commission on October 28, 2002, to register the Common Stock under
 Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
In
addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant
to Sections 12, 13(a), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the effective
date of this Registration Statement, but prior to the filing of a
post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to
be part hereof from the respective date of filing of such documents.
Any
statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded 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 is deemed
to be incorporated by reference herein modified or superseded such statement.
Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so
modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not
applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not

Item
 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article VI of the Company's Certificate of
 Incorporation provides as follows:
Subject to the following, a director or officer of
 the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders
 for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Company or its shareholders.
 The preceding sentence shall not relieve a director or officer from liability
 for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (i) in breach of such
 person's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (ii) not in good
 faith or involving a knowing violation of law, or (iii) resulting in receipt
 by such person of an improper personal benefit. If the New Jersey Business
 Corporation Act is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating
 or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the
 liability of a director or officer or both of the Company shall be eliminated
 or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey Business
 Corporation Act as so amended. Any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation,
 or change in law which authorizes this paragraph shall not adversely affect
 any then existing right or protection of a director or officer of the
 Company.
Article VII of the Company's Certificate of
 Incorporation provides as follows:
The Company shall indemnify its present and former
 officers, directors, employees and agents and persons serving at its request
 against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines or amounts paid
 in settlement incurred in connection with any pending or threatened civil or
 criminal proceedings to the fullest extent permitted by the New Jersey
 Business Corporation Act. Article VII also provides that such indemnification
 shall not exclude any other rights to indemnification to which a person may
 otherwise be entitled, and authorizes the Company to purchase insurance on
 behalf of any of the persons enumerated against any liability whether or not
 the Company would have the power to indemnify him under the provisions of
 Article VII. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act empowers a corporation
 to indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses and liabilities incurred
 in connection with any proceeding (other than a derivative lawsuit) involving
 the corporate agent by reason of his being or having been a corporate agent
 if (a) the agent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
 to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (b)
 with respect to any criminal proceeding, the corporate agent had no
 reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. For purposes of the
 Act, the term "corporate agent" includes any present or former director,
 officer, employee or agent of the corporation, and a person serving as a
 "corporate agent" for any other enterprise at the request of the corporation.
 With respect to any derivative action, the corporation is empowered to
 indemnify a corporate agent against his expenses (but not his liabilities)
 incurred in connection with any proceeding involving the corporate agent by
 reason of his being or having been a corporate agent if the agent acted in
 good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
 the best interests of the corporation. However, only the court in which the
 proceeding was brought can empower a corporation to indemnify a corporate
 agent against expenses with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which
 the agent was adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct. The corporation
 may indemnify a corporate agent in a specific case if a determination is made
 by any of the following that the applicable standard of conduct was met: (i)
 the Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, acting by a majority vote of
 a quorum consisting of disinterested directors; (ii) by independent legal
 counsel if there is not a quorum of disinterested directors or if the
 disinterested quorum empowers counsel to make the determination; or (iii) by
 the stockholders. A corporate agent is entitled to mandatory indemnification
 to the extent that the agent is successful on the merits or otherwise in any
 proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding. If
 a corporation fails or refuses to indemnify a corporate agent, whether the
 indemnification is permissive or mandatory, the agent may apply to a court to
 grant him the requested indemnification. In advance of the final
4
disposition
 of a proceeding, the corporation may pay an agent's expenses if the agent
 agrees to repay the expenses unless it is ultimately determined he is
 entitled to indemnification.

23(b)
Consent of
 Windels Marx Lane & Mittendorf, LLP (included in the Opinion filed as
 Exhibit 5 hereto)
(1)
 Incorporated by reference from Exhibit A to the Registrant's Proxy Statement
 on Form 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 20, 2012.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The registrant
hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
(i)
Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
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 in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may
be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii)
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;
5
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply because this
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 Exchange Act that are incorporated
by reference to 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) 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 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) Insofar as
indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to the directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provision, or otherwise, the registrant 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 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 final adjudication of such issue.
