      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>

Item
                6.
Indemnification
                of Directors and Officers
Our
      Charter provides that we are required to indemnify each and every officer or
      director of the Company, even those whose term has expired, for any and all
      expenses actually and necessarily incurred by such director or officer in
      connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he is
      made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the
      Company.  We are not required to indemnify a director or officer for
      matters as to which such officer or director is adjudged to be liable for
      neglect or misconduct in the performance of his duties as director or
      officer.  Further, the rights of the officers or directors to
      indemnification are not exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or
      director of the Company is entitled.
Under
      our
      Bylaws, as amended (the "Bylaws"), the Company has the authority to indemnify
      its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the New York
      Business Corporation Law (Sections 721-726) (the "BCL").  The Bylaws,
      reflecting New York law, extend such protection to any person made or threatened
      to be made a party to any action or proceeding, including an action by or in
      the
      right of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
      benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director, officer or employee of
      the
      Company served in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of
      the
      fact that such director or officer, his testator or intestate, is or was a
      director or officer of the Company or is or was serving such enterprise at
      the
      request of the Company.  The Bylaws provide that such indemnification
      may be authorized pursuant to the terms and conditions of (i) a resolution
      of
      shareholders; (ii) a resolution of the Board of Directors; (iii) an agreement
      providing for such indemnification or (iv) any judicial or other legal authority
      which entitles the director, officer or employee to such
      indemnification.
The
      BCL
      provides that, if successful on the merits or otherwise, an officer or director
      is entitled to indemnification by the Company against amounts paid in settlement
      and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily
      incurred in connection with the defense of such action or proceeding, or any
      appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose
      which he reasonably believed to be in, or at least not opposed to, the best
      interests of the Company.  The termination of any action or proceeding
      by judgment, settlement, conviction or plea of nolo contendere, or its
      equivalent, does not itself create the presumption that such director or officer
      did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be
      in,
      or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company or that he had reasonable
      cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
If
      a
      corporation fails to provide indemnification to its directors or officers,
      the
      BCL provides that despite any contrary resolution of the board of directors
      or
      shareholders, indemnification may be awarded by application to the appropriate
      judicial authority.  Application for such court-ordered
      indemnification may be made either in the civil action or proceeding in which
      the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid or to the supreme court
      in
      a separate proceeding.

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, as amended (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 a 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 (i) and (ii) shall 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, as amended, 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.
(b)           The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
      any
      liability under the Securities Act, 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.
(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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
      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 Marion, New
      York, on August 13, 2007.
