Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is organized under the laws of the State of New
Jersey. The New Jersey Business Corporation Act, as amended (the "Act"),
provides that a New Jersey corporation has the power generally to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and other agents against expenses and liabilities
in connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his being a
corporation agent, other than a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, if such person 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,
with respect to any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the
right of the corporation, indemnification of directors, officers, employees and
other agents against expenses is permitted if such person 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, no indemnification is permitted in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the
New Jersey Superior Court, or the court in which such proceeding was brought,
shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability, but
in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to such indemnification. Expenses incurred by a director,
officer, employee or other agent in connection with a proceeding may be, under
certain circumstances, paid by the corporation in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding as authorized by the board of directors. The power
to indemnify and advance expenses under the Act does not exclude other rights to
which a director, officer, employee or other agent of the corporation may be
entitled to under the certificate of incorporation, by laws, agreement, vote of
stockholders, or otherwise provided that no indemnification is permitted to be
made to or on behalf of such person if a judgment or other final adjudication
adverse to such person establishes that his acts or omissions were in breach of
his duty of loyalty to the corporation, were not in good faith or involved a
violation of the law, or resulted in the receipt of such person of an improper
personal benefit.
Under the Act, a New Jersey corporation has the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other
agent against any expenses incurred in any proceeding and any liabilities
asserted against him by reason of his being or having been a corporate agent,
whether or not the corporation has the power to indemnify him against such
expenses and liabilities under the Act.
All of the foregoing powers granted to a New Jersey corporation may
be exercised by such corporation notwithstanding the absence of any provision in
its certificate of incorporation or by-laws authorizing the exercise of such
powers. A New Jersey corporation may also provide in its certificate of
incorporation that a director or officer shall not be personally liable, or
shall be liable only to extent therein provided, to the corporation or its
shareholders for damages for breach of a duty owed to the corporation or its
shareholders, except for any breach of duty based upon an act or omission (a) in
breach of such person's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders,
(b) not in good faith or involving a knowing violation of law or (c) resulting
in receipt by such person of an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that all
directors and officers of the Company shall be indemnified to the fullest extent
permitted by the Act. The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation further
provides that directors shall not be personally liable to the Company or its
shareholders.
The directors and officers of the Registrant are insured by policies
purchased by the Registrant against liability and expenses incurred in their
capacity as directors or officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant will:
(1) 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 of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
which, individually or together, 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 percent change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement;
(iii) Include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution;
3
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 the Commission by the Registrant under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act of
1933, treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration
statement of the securities offered, and the offering of such
securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of
the offering.
(b) 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 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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 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 Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
