</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Directors and officers of the Company are entitled to indemnification by the Company against
all liabilities, expenses and other matters referenced in the Connecticut Business Corporation Act
(the &#147;<U>CBCA</U>&#148;). A charter amendment was approved by the Company&#146;s shareholders on May&nbsp;4,
1998 providing enhanced indemnification of directors and officers of the Company and providing for
indemnification of employees and agents of the Company in certain circumstances, both as authorized
by the CBCA effective January&nbsp;1, 1997. The Company&#146;s charter, as amended, affords to directors and
officers the right to be indemnified &#147;to the fullest extent permitted by law.&#148; This right means
that a director or officer will be indemnified against expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any applicable proceeding so long as his or her conduct did not (i)&nbsp;involve a
knowing and culpable violation of law by such person, (ii)&nbsp;enable such person or an associate, as
defined in Section&nbsp;33-840 of the CBCA, to receive an improper personal economic gain, (iii)&nbsp;show a
lack of good faith and a conscious disregard for the duty of such person to the Company under
circumstances in which such person was aware that his or her conduct or omission created an
unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Company, (iv)&nbsp;constitute a sustained and unexcused
pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of such person&#146;s duty to the Company, or (v)
create liability under Section&nbsp;33-757 (liability for unlawful distributions) of the CBCA. The
Company&#146;s charter, as amended, also obligates the Company to advance the expenses of a director or
officer so long as the director or officer promises to repay the advance if it is later determined
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The Company has in effect liability insurance policies covering certain claims against any of
its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or other act committed or alleged to have been committed by such person in his or her
capacity as officer or director.

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.

").

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents, which have been filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "
Exchange Act
"), are incorporated by
reference in, and shall be deemed to be a part of, this Registration Statement:
(a) the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009,
filed with the Commission on February 19, 2010;
(b) the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March
31, 2010, filed with the Commission on April 23, 2010;
(c) the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30,

(d) all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)

(e) the description of the Common Stock and the Company's Class B Rights contained in
(i) the Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated March 4, 1992 and (ii) the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated December 17, 1998, as amended by the
Company's Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form 8-A, dated December 17,
2008, respectively.
All reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections

Item 4. Description of Securities.
The information called for in this Item 4 of this Registration Statement is not being filed
with or included in this Form S-8 (by incorporation by reference or otherwise) in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Commission.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Directors and officers of the Company are entitled to indemnification by the Company against
all liabilities, expenses and other matters referenced in the Connecticut Business Corporation Act
(the "
CBCA
"). A charter amendment was approved by the Company's shareholders on May 4,
1998 providing enhanced indemnification of directors and officers of the Company and providing for
indemnification of employees and agents of the Company in certain circumstances, both as authorized
by the CBCA effective January 1, 1997. The Company's charter, as amended, affords to directors and
officers the right to be indemnified "to the fullest extent permitted by law." This right means
that a director or officer will be indemnified against expenses and liabilities incurred in
connection with any applicable proceeding so long as his or her conduct did not (i) involve a
knowing and culpable violation of law by such person, (ii) enable such person or an associate, as
defined in Section 33-840 of the CBCA, to receive an improper personal economic gain, (iii) show a
lack of good faith and a conscious disregard for the duty of such person to the Company under
circumstances in which such person was aware that his or her conduct or omission created an
unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Company, (iv) constitute a sustained and unexcused
pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of such person's duty to the Company, or (v)
create liability under Section 33-757 (liability for unlawful distributions) of the CBCA. The
Company's charter, as amended, also obligates the Company to advance the expenses of a director or
officer so long as the director or officer promises to repay the advance if it is later determined
that he or she is not entitled to indemnification by the Company.
The Company has in effect liability insurance policies covering certain claims against any of
its officers or directors by reason of certain breaches of duty, neglect, error, misstatement,
omission or other act committed or alleged to have been committed by such person in his or her
capacity as officer or director.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
A list of exhibits included as part of this Registration Statement is set forth in the Index
to Exhibits appearing elsewhere herein and is incorporated herein by reference.
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 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 the Registration Statement;
2
Table of Contents
(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 Statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply to information
contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 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.
(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 offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, 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
this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, 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 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 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.
