amended (the &quot;Securities Act&quot;), this Registration Statement shall
also cover any additional shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that become
issuable under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan as set forth herein by reason
of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction
effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of
outstanding shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. In addition, pursuant to
Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement covers
an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the
employee benefit plan described herein.&nbsp;

under the Securities Act, the maximum offering price per share with respect to
shares being registered hereunder that have already been allocated to options
granted under the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan,
the fee is calculated on the basis of the weighted average price at which such options may be exercised.</p>

for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h)

<p><b>Item 5.&nbsp;&nbsp;Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel.</b></p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not
applicable.</p>



<p><b>Item 6.&nbsp;&nbsp;Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</b></p>



<p>Our
Amended and Restated By-laws provide that we shall indemnify directors and
officers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for all costs
reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding in which
such director or officer is made a party by virtue of his or her being an
officer or director of our company.</p>



<p>Pursuant
to the statutes of the State of New York, a director or officer of a
corporation is entitled, under specified circumstances, to indemnification by
the corporation against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of a civil or criminal
proceeding to which he has been made, or threatened to be made, a party by
reason of the fact that he or she was such director or officer. In certain
circumstances, indemnity is provided against judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement. In general, indemnification is available where the director or
officer acted in good faith, for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the corporation. Specific court approval is required
in some cases. The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of
Sections 715, 717 and 723-725 of the New York Business Corporation Law (&quot;BCL&quot;).</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have also entered into
indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The
indemnity agreements provide that directors and executive officers (the
&quot;Indemnitees&quot;) will be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest
possible extent permitted by law including against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts paid or
incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding on account of their services
as director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of us or as directors,
officers, employees or agents of any other company or entity at our request. We
will not, however, be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or
advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to any action (1) in
which a judgment adverse to the Indemnitee establishes (a) that the
Indemnitee's acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material, or (b) that the
Indemnitee personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to
which he or she was not legally entitled, or (2) which the Indemnitee
initiated, prior to a change in control of the Company, against us or any of
our directors or officers unless we consented to the initiation of such claim.
The indemnity agreements require an Indemnitee to reimburse us for expenses
advanced only to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the director
or executive officer is not entitled, under section 723(a) of the BCL and the
indemnity agreement, to indemnification for such expenses.</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The indemnification provision in
our By-laws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between us and the
Indemnitees, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Indemnitees
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have purchased directors' and
officers' liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against
certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as directors and
officers.</p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The indemnification provision in
our Amended and Restated By-laws, and the indemnification agreements entered
into between us and the Indemnitees, may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Indemnitees for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.</p>

<p><b>Item 9. Undertakings</b>
</p>

<p>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes:</p>

<p>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:</p>

<p>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;</p>

<p>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 &quot;Calculation of
Registration Fee&quot; table in the effective Registration Statement; and</p>

<p>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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;</p>

<p><i>provided</i>, <i>however</i>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section
do not apply if 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 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.</p>

<p>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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 <i>bona fide</i> offering thereof.</p>

<p>(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.</p>
<p align="center">5</p>
<hr>
<p align="center"><br clear=all>


</p>


<p>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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
(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 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 <i>bona fide</i> offering thereof.</p>

<p>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.</p>

&nbsp;<p align=center><b>SIGNATURES</b></p>



<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act, 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 Melville, State of New
York, on this 9th day of July, 2008. </p>

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 statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of

Item 4. Description of Securities.
The
class of securities to be offered under this Registration Statement is
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel.
Not
applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our
Amended and Restated By-laws provide that we shall indemnify directors and
officers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for all costs
reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding in which
such director or officer is made a party by virtue of his or her being an
officer or director of our company.
Pursuant
to the statutes of the State of New York, a director or officer of a
corporation is entitled, under specified circumstances, to indemnification by
the corporation against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of a civil or criminal
proceeding to which he has been made, or threatened to be made, a party by
reason of the fact that he or she was such director or officer. In certain
circumstances, indemnity is provided against judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement. In general, indemnification is available where the director or
officer acted in good faith, for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be
in the best interests of the corporation. Specific court approval is required
in some cases. The foregoing statement is subject to the detailed provisions of
Sections 715, 717 and 723-725 of the New York Business Corporation Law ("BCL").
We have also entered into
indemnity agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The
indemnity agreements provide that directors and executive officers (the
"Indemnitees") will be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest
possible extent permitted by law including against all expenses (including
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts paid or
incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding on account of their services
as director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of us or as directors,
officers, employees or agents of any other company or entity at our request. We
will not, however, be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or
advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to any action (1) in
which a judgment adverse to the Indemnitee establishes (a) that the
Indemnitee's acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty and, in either case, were material, or (b) that the
Indemnitee personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to
which he or she was not legally entitled, or (2) which the Indemnitee
initiated, prior to a change in control of the Company, against us or any of
our directors or officers unless we consented to the initiation of such claim.
The indemnity agreements require an Indemnitee to reimburse us for expenses
advanced only to the extent that it is ultimately determined that the director
or executive officer is not entitled, under section 723(a) of the BCL and the
indemnity agreement, to indemnification for such expenses.
The indemnification provision in
our By-laws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between us and the
Indemnitees, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Indemnitees
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have purchased directors' and
officers' liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against
certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as directors and
officers.
The indemnification provision in
our Amended and Restated By-laws, and the indemnification agreements entered
into between us and the Indemnitees, may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the Indemnitees for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

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;
(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; 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 Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section
do not apply if 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 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2)           That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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.
5
(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
(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 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.
(c)           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.
