Undertakings. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 express in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (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; and (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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable ground 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 Fairfield, New Jersey, on the 18th day of December, 2001.

Gentlemen: We have acted as your counsel in the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering 4,235,443 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, which may be issued by the Company in accordance with options and other awards granted under your 1999 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and your 1990 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan As used herein, the term "Shares" means such shares issuable under the 1990 Plan and the 1999 Plan. As counsel to the Company, we have examined the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended to date, and other corporate records of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth. We have relied, to the extent we deem such reliance proper, upon certain factual representations of officers and directors of the Company given in certificates, in answer to our written inquiries and otherwise, and, although we have not independently verified all of the facts contained therein, nothing has come to our attention that would cause us to believe that any of the statements contained therein are untrue or misleading. In making the aforesaid examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies furnished to us. We have assumed that the corporate records of the Company furnished to us constitute all of the existing corporate records of the Company and include all corporate proceedings taken by it. Based solely upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, issued and full paid and non-assessable, and the issuance of such shares by the Company is not subject to any preemptive or similar rights. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the aforesaid Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus.
