(b) The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated January 13, 1998. (c) The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on November 10, 1997, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, amended (the "1934 Act"), in which there is described the terms, rights and provisions applicable to the Registrant's outstanding Common Stock. All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement. 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 General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") permits the Company and its stockholders to limit directors' exposure to liability for certain breaches of the directors' fiduciary duty, either in a suit on behalf of the Company or in an action by stockholders of the Company. The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Charter") eliminates the personal liability of directors to stockholders or the Company for monetary damages arising out of the directors' breach of their fiduciary duty of care. The Charter also authorizes the Company to indemnify its directors, officers or employees with respect to certain costs, expenses, and amounts incurred in connection with an action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person was serving as a director, officer or employee of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, partner or agent of another entity. The Charter permits the Company to indemnify its officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent possible under the DGCL. The Company maintains a standard form of officers' and directors' liability insurance policy which provides coverage to the officers and directors of the Company for certain liabilities, including certain liabilities which may arise out of this Registration Statement. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed Not Applicable. Item 8. Exhibits Exhibit Number Exhibit 4 Instruments Defining Rights of Stockholders. Reference is made to Registrant's Registration on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on November 10, 1997 which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to Item 3(c) of this Registration Statement. 5 Opinion and consent of Proskauer Rose LLP. 23.1 Consent of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP - Independent Accountants. 23.2 Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP - Independent Accountants. 23.3 Consent of Proskauer Rose LLP is contained in Exhibit 5. 24 Power of Attorney. Reference is made to page 3 of this Registration Statement. 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 1933 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 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 clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if 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 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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 and (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 Registrant's 1995 Stock Option Plan. B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into 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 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 the City of Rutherford, State of New Jersey, on this 9th day of April, 1998.
