<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate
the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good
faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in
violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
The Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that none of its directors
shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as director, notwithstanding any
provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the
Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of
liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the
power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related
capacities against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened
to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in
the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating
court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company&#146;s certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify each
person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or
was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Company, or is or
was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer,
partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such
persons being referred to as an &#147;Indemnitee&#148;), or by reason of any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best
interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Company&#146;s certificate
of incorporation provides that it will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a
party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in
the Company&#146;s favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has
agreed to become, a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving,
or has agreed to serve, at the Company&#146;s request as a director, officer,
partner, employee or trustee or, or in a similar capacity with, another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by
reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity,
against all expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) and, to the extent permitted
by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if
the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall
be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless a court determines
that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
he will be indemnified by the Company against all expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)
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 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.</FONT></P>

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 Registration Statement to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of New York, State of New York, on August 13, 2010.</FONT></P>

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The
validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for the Company
by Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander, LLP, New York, New York. One of the
partners of Morse, Zelnick, Rose & Lander, LLP owns 14,922 shares of the
Company's common stock.
KPMG
    LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited the consolidated
    financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and
    the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders'
    equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended,
    and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
    December 31, 2009 as set forth in their report dated March 16, 2010. The
    Company incorporates by reference these financial statements in this prospectus,
    and in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, in
    reliance on KPMG LLP's report, given on their authority as experts in
    accounting and auditing.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate
the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good
faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law,
authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in
violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that none of its directors
shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as director, notwithstanding any
provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the
Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of
liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section
145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation has the
power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related
capacities against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened
to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding,
had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in
the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no
indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation
unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating
court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.
The
Company's certificate of incorporation provides that it will indemnify each
person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an
action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or
was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Company, or is or
was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer,
partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such
persons being referred to as an "Indemnitee"), or by reason of any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best
interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Company's certificate
of incorporation provides that it will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a
party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in
the Company's favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has
agreed to become, a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving,
or has agreed to serve, at the Company's request as a director, officer,
partner, employee or trustee or, or in a similar capacity with, another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by
reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity,
against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted
by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if
the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall
be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless a court determines
that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he is
entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to
the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise,
he will be indemnified by the Company against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
The
Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and
intends to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its executive
officers. These indemnification agreements may require the Company, among other
things, to indemnify our directors and executive officers for some expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement
2
amounts
incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising
out of his service as one of the Company's directors or executive officers, or
any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the
request of the Company.
The
Company maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers certain
liabilities of the Company's directors and officers arising out of claims based
on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 on September 20, 2007 and 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 Securities Act
 of 1933.
(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 percent
 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 the
 information required to be included in a 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
 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the 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
(3) To
 remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
 securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of
 the offering.
(4)
       That, for the purpose of determining liability of the undersigned Registrant
       under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
    of the securities:
The
undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless
of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the
securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the
purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating
to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf
of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
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 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 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 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.
