Expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Company in defending a threatened, pending or completed civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws. The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, provisions contained in the By-Laws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses may be entitled under the Company&#8217;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in such director&#8217;s or officer&#8217;s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office.</p>

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under Section 14A:3-5 of the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the "NJBCA"), the Company shall indemnify each of its directors and officers for his expenses (that is, reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) incurred in connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his having been an officer or director of the Company, to the extent he is successful on the merits.
The By-Laws of the Company (the "By-Laws") provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify its directors and officers who were or are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (whether or not such action, suit or proceeding arises or arose by or in the right of the Company or other entity) by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, general partner, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including service with respect to employee benefit plans), against expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees and costs), judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in accordance with such action, suit or proceeding, except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws. Expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Company in defending a threatened, pending or completed civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, except as otherwise provided in the By-Laws. The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, provisions contained in the By-Laws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses may be entitled under the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both as to action in such director's or officer's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding that office.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that directors 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, except that such provision shall not relieve a director from such liability for any breach of duty based on an act or omission (a) in breach of such director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, or (b) not in good faith, or involving a knowing violation of law, or (c) resulting in the receipt by such director of an improper personal benefit.
The Company's directors and officers are currently insured under a Directors and Officers Liability Including Company Reimbursement Policy with a policy limit of $10,000,000, subject to certain deductibles and exclusions, for any actual or alleged error or misstatement or misleading statement or act or omission or neglect or breach of duty by the directors and officers of the Company in the discharge of their duties, individually or collectively, or any matter claimed against them solely by reason of their being directors or officers of the Company.

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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant 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 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 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.
(c)         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 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.
