  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B></P>
  <P style="margin-left:0pt; padding:0pt; text-indent:45pt; font-size:10pt; color:#000000" align="justify">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes the Registrant to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being a director or officer of American Lorain Corporation if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. The Registrant&#146;s
  By-laws contain provisions relating to the indemnification of director and officers and our
  Certificate of Incorporation extends such indemnities to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer, which may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such persons.</P>

  <P style="margin-left:0pt; padding:0pt; text-indent:45pt; font-size:10pt; color:#000000" align=justify>In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by one of the Registrant&#146;s directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the Registrant&#146;s directors, officers, 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and it will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

  PART II
  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
  Item 3.
  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
  The following documents and information heretofore filed with the Commission by the Registrant are incorporated herein by reference in this registration statement:
  (a)
  The Registrant's prospectus filed on May 15, 2009, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under
  the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, containing audited financial information
  for the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
  (b)
  The Registrant's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed on May 15, 2009, and
  Current Reports on Forms 8-K filed on April 14, July 8, and July 15, 2009,
  pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
  amended (the "Exchange Act"), since the end of the fiscal year covered by the
  Registrant's document referred to in (a) above.
  (c)
  The description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-SB/A filed on December 18, 2001, pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
  All documents subsequently filed with the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereunder have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold under this Registration Statement, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.  Any statement contained herein or 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 other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such earlier statement.  Any 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.
  The class of securities to be offered is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and accordingly, no information under Item 202 of Regulation S-K is required.
  Item 5.
  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
  None.

  Item 6.
  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, authorizes the Registrant to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney's fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being a director or officer of American Lorain Corporation if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. The Registrant's
  By-laws contain provisions relating to the indemnification of director and officers and our
  Certificate of Incorporation extends such indemnities to the full extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant may also purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any director or officer, which may cover claims for which we could not indemnify such persons.
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to the Registrant's directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 one of the Registrant's directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of the Registrant's directors, officers, 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and it will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

  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 Securities Act of 1933;
  4
  (ii)
  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
  (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) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
  (2)
  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
  (4)
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
  (5)
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
  1933 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 Securities Act of
  1933, 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 of whether such
  indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
  Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
