permitted by New Jersey law in the event the Indemnitee becomes subject to or a
participant in certain claims or proceedings as a result of the Indemnitee's
service as a director. The Company will also, subject to certain exceptions and
repayment conditions, advance to the Indemnitee specified indemnifiable expenses
incurred in connection with such claims or proceedings.
The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and
