     Not applicable.

     Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

     Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the "NJBCA")
provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power to
indemnify a director or officer against his or her expenses
and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving
the director or officer by reason of his or her being or
having been a director or officer, other than a proceeding by
or in the right of the corporation, if such a director or
officer 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 director or officer had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall
not exclude any other rights, including the right to be
indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in
proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, to which a
director or officer may be entitled under a certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders, or
otherwise; provided, that no indemnification shall be made to
or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer
establishes that his or her acts or omissions (a) were in
breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a
knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by the
director or officer of an improper personal benefit.

     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that, to the full extent that the laws of the State
of New Jersey permit the limitation or elimination of the
liability of directors or officers, no director or officer of
the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed
to the Registrant or its stockholders.

     The By-laws of the Registrant provide that to the full
extent permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, the
Registrant shall indemnify any person (an "Indemnitee") who
was or is involved in any manner (including, without
limitation, as a party or witness) in any threatened, pending
or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative, legislative or investigative (including, without
limitation, any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right
of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor) (a
"Proceeding"), or who is threatened with being so involved,
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant or, while serving as a director or
officer of the Registrant, is or was at the request of the
Registrant also serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any
employee benefit plan), against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding, provided that, there shall be no indemnification
under the By-laws with respect to any settlement or other
nonadjudicated disposition of any threatened or pending
Proceeding unless the Registrant has given its prior consent
to such settlement or disposition. The right of
indemnification created by the By-laws shall be a contract
right enforceable by an Indemnitee against the Registrant,
and it shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an
Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled. The indemnification
provisions of the By-laws shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs and legal representatives of an Indemnitee and shall be
applicable to Proceedings commenced or continuing after the
adoption of the By-laws, whether arising from acts or
omissions occurring before or after such adoption. No
amendment, alteration, change, addition or repeal of or to
the By-laws shall deprive an Indemnitee of any rights under
the By-laws with respect to any act or omission of such
Indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment, alteration,
change, addition or repeal.

     The foregoing summary is subject to the full provisions
of the NJBCA and the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws.


     Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

     Item 8.   Exhibits.

     See Index to Exhibits.

     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 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.  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 percent change in the maximum
     aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
     Registration Fee" table in the effective 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-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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 Section 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)  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 (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.

     (h)  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.

                         SIGNATURES


     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 New Brunswick, New Jersey on this 8th day of
November, 2005.

     Item 4.   Description of Securities.

     Not applicable.

     Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

     Not applicable.

     Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the "NJBCA")
provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power to
indemnify a director or officer against his or her expenses
and liabilities in connection with any proceeding involving
the director or officer by reason of his or her being or
having been a director or officer, other than a proceeding by
or in the right of the corporation, if such a director or
officer 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 director or officer had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

     The indemnification and advancement of expenses shall
not exclude any other rights, including the right to be
indemnified against liabilities and expenses incurred in
proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, to which a
director or officer may be entitled under a certificate of
incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of shareholders, or
otherwise; provided, that no indemnification shall be made to
or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer
establishes that his or her acts or omissions (a) were in
breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its shareholders, (b) were not in good faith or involved a
knowing violation of law or (c) resulted in receipt by the
director or officer of an improper personal benefit.

     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provides that, to the full extent that the laws of the State
of New Jersey permit the limitation or elimination of the
liability of directors or officers, no director or officer of
the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant
or its stockholders for damages for breach of any duty owed
to the Registrant or its stockholders.

     The By-laws of the Registrant provide that to the full
extent permitted by the laws of the State of New Jersey, the
Registrant shall indemnify any person (an "Indemnitee") who
was or is involved in any manner (including, without
limitation, as a party or witness) in any threatened, pending
or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
arbitrative, legislative or investigative (including, without
limitation, any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right
of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its favor) (a
"Proceeding"), or who is threatened with being so involved,
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant or, while serving as a director or
officer of the Registrant, is or was at the request of the
Registrant also serving as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any
employee benefit plan), against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such
Proceeding, provided that, there shall be no indemnification
under the By-laws with respect to any settlement or other
nonadjudicated disposition of any threatened or pending
Proceeding unless the Registrant has given its prior consent
to such settlement or disposition. The right of
indemnification created by the By-laws shall be a contract
right enforceable by an Indemnitee against the Registrant,
and it shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which an
Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled. The indemnification
provisions of the By-laws shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs and legal representatives of an Indemnitee and shall be
applicable to Proceedings commenced or continuing after the
adoption of the By-laws, whether arising from acts or
omissions occurring before or after such adoption. No
amendment, alteration, change, addition or repeal of or to
the By-laws shall deprive an Indemnitee of any rights under
the By-laws with respect to any act or omission of such
Indemnitee occurring prior to such amendment, alteration,
change, addition or repeal.

     The foregoing summary is subject to the full provisions
of the NJBCA and the Registrant's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws.

     Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.

     Not applicable.

     Item 8.   Exhibits.

     See Index to Exhibits.

     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 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.  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 percent change in the maximum
     aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
     Registration Fee" table in the effective 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-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, 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 Section 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)  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 (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.

     (h)  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.

                         SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 New Brunswick, New Jersey on this 8th day of
November, 2005.
