Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP 625 Madison Avenue, 12th Floor New York, New York 10022 ---------- DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES On September 10, 1985, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 33-00184) (the "Registration Statement") relating to 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, issuable under its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"). In October 1992, the Company effected a recapitalization ("1992 Recapitalization") of its capital stock pursuant to which its outstanding shares of common stock were divided equally into shares of Class A voting common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Class A Shares"), and Class B non-voting common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Class B Shares"). Following the 1992 Recapitalization, all shares issued under the Purchase Plan were Class B Shares. In October 2002, the Company effected a recapitalization ("2002 Recapitalization") by which all of its outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares were converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of a single, newly-created class of common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"). Consequently, any shares to be issued under the Purchase Plan following the 2002 Recapitalization will be shares of Common Stock. This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement hereby deregisters any and all shares of common stock of the Company that were previously registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that have not been sold or otherwise issued as of the date hereof. On October 31, 2002, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-100878) relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Purchase Plan. 2 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of Lake Success, State of New York, on the 16th day of December, 2002.
