<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Stroock Para Large Indent" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors (in
their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the Company or its
stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
&#147;DGCL&#148;). Specifically, no director of the Company will be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability; (i) for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. The inclusion of this provision in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a
lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and its stockholders. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Stroock Para Large Indent" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will indemnify those persons whom
it shall have the power to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the
DGCL, which may include liabilities under the 1933 Act. Accordingly, in accordance with
Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company will indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a
&#147;derivative&#148; action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against
expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an
action and then, where the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company, only if and to
the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such
action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such
indemnity and then only for such expenses as the court deems proper. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Stroock Para Large Indent" FSL="Workstation" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will advance expenses to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Accordingly, the Company, in
accordance therewith, will pay for the expenses incurred by an indemnified person in
defending the proceedings specified in the preceding paragraph in advance of their final
disposition, provided that, if the DGCL so requires, such person agrees to reimburse the
Company if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to
indemnification. In addition, pursuant to the DGCL the Company may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, employee or agent of the
Company against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in such
capacity, or arising out of the person&#146;s status as such whether or not the Company
would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under
the provisions of DGCL. The Company has obtained insurance for the benefit of the
Company&#146;s officers and directors insuring such persons against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the securities laws. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Stroock Para Large Indent" FSL="Default" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=3>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its outside directors which are intended

other things, indemnify each of the Company&#146;s outside directors for certain expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such
director in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Company, on account of such director&#146;s service as a director of the Company. </FONT></P>

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

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
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of directors (in
their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the Company or its
stockholders to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL"). Specifically, no director of the Company will be personally liable for
monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty as a director, except
for liability; (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or
its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL,
which relates to unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal benefit. The inclusion of this provision in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation
against directors, and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a
lawsuit against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if
successful, might otherwise have benefited the Company and its stockholders.
Under
the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will indemnify those persons whom
it shall have the power to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the
DGCL, which may include liabilities under the 1933 Act. Accordingly, in accordance with
Section 145 of the DGCL, the Company will indemnify any person who was or is a party, or
is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than a
"derivative" action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and
in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe was unlawful. A similar standard of care is applicable in the case of
derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such an
action and then, where the person is adjudged to be liable to the Company, only if and to
the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such
action was brought determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to such
indemnity and then only for such expenses as the court deems proper.
The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company will advance expenses to
the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL. Accordingly, the Company, in
accordance therewith, will pay for the expenses incurred by an indemnified person in
defending the proceedings specified in the preceding paragraph in advance of their final
disposition, provided that, if the DGCL so requires, such person agrees to reimburse the
Company if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to
indemnification. In addition, pursuant to the DGCL the Company may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, employee or agent of the
Company against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in such
capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such whether or not the Company
would have the power or obligation to indemnify such person against such liability under
the provisions of DGCL. The Company has obtained insurance for the benefit of the
Company's officers and directors insuring such persons against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the securities laws.
The
Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its outside directors which are intended
to provide the maximum indemnification permitted by Delaware law. These agreements, among
other things, indemnify each of the Company's outside directors for certain expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such
director in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the
Company, on account of such director's service as a director of the Company.

(i)      To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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;
(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 Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 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.
(4)      That, for the purpose of determining liability
of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a
primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned
registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)     
               Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating
               to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)     
               Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
               the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)     
               The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
               containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its
               securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)     
               Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
               registrant to the purchaser.
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.
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.
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 this Form S-8 and
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Princeton, State of New Jersey on the 13th day
of November 2006.
