were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) that he or she personally gained in fact
a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally
entitled. In addition, the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided for by statute are not the exclusive basis upon which a
corporation may indemnify its officers and directors, and that a corporation may
provide for indemnification pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or
by-laws or, when authorized by the certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, a resolution of the
shareholders or an agreement for indemnification.</font></div>

obligated to indemnify certain persons, including officers and directors of the
Company, who by virtue of such capacity are, were or are threatened to be made a
party to a civil, criminal or other legal action. Indemnification will extend to
costs and expenses (as defined in Article VIII) related to such action. At the
election of the indemnitee, expenses also can be advanced by the Company, as
long as the indemnitee undertakes to repay such advances in the event that a
court determines that indemnification is not permissible in that particular
case. </font></div>

      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 Commission such indemnification is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.</font></div>

6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The
New York Business Corporation Law (the "BCL") generally permits indemnification
and advancement of expenses to corporate officers and directors other than in
instances where a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the officer or
director establishes (i) that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or
were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the
cause of action so adjudicated, or (ii) that he or she personally gained in fact
a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally
entitled. In addition, the BCL provides that the indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided for by statute are not the exclusive basis upon which a
corporation may indemnify its officers and directors, and that a corporation may
provide for indemnification pursuant to the certificate of incorporation or
by-laws or, when authorized by the certificate of incorporation or by-laws,
pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors, a resolution of the
shareholders or an agreement for indemnification.
Article
XI of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated March 28, 1989,
as amended by the Certificate of Amendment thereto, dated October 10, 2000, and
the Certificate of Amendment thereto, dated July 21, 2005, provides, in effect,
that any person made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by the fact that
he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company, or any corporation which he served as such at the request of the
Company, shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, any amount paid
in a court approved settlement actually and necessarily incurred in connection
with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any
appeal therein, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged
in such action, suit or proceeding that such officer, director or employee is
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his
duties.
Article
VIII of the Company's By-Laws generally provide for indemnification of and
advancement of expenses to the Company's officers and directors unless otherwise
expressly prohibited by the BCL or, unless relating to an action (other than an
action for enforcement of indemnification) initiated by the officer or director
without the authorization of the Company's Board of Directors, and establishes
procedures to obtain such indemnification. Under Article VIII, the Company is
obligated to indemnify certain persons, including officers and directors of the
Company, who by virtue of such capacity are, were or are threatened to be made a
party to a civil, criminal or other legal action. Indemnification will extend to
costs and expenses (as defined in Article VIII) related to such action. At the
election of the indemnitee, expenses also can be advanced by the Company, as
long as the indemnitee undertakes to repay such advances in the event that a
court determines that indemnification is not permissible in that particular
case.
2
Article
VIII, which by its terms is not the exclusive basis for granting certain
indemnification rights, establishes a procedure whereby indemnification or
advancement of expenses generally must occur within 45 days after the request
for such indemnification is made by the indemnitee.
In
May 2008, the Company purchased from Federal Insurance Company insurance
covering the Company's directors and officers against claims arising out of
their service to the Company and its subsidiaries. The insurance policy runs for
a period of one year, from May 17, 2008 to May 17, 2009, at a total cost of
$160,000.

The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
To

      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 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 the registration statement or any material
      change to such information in the registration

post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement.
(b)
That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
      each 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.
(c)
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.

      filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
      Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and each filing of an employee benefit
      plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(e)
Insofar
      as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is
      against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
      adjudication of such issue.
