Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Section 721 of the New York Business Corporation Law (the “NYBCL”) provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article 7 of the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer by a provision contained in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or by a duly authorized resolution of its shareowners or directors or by agreement, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled.
 
Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action other than a derivative action, whether civil or criminal, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
 
Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, made or threatened to be made a party in a derivative action, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be available under Section 722(c) of the NYBCL in respect of: (i) a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (ii) any claim as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application, that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.
 
 
II - 2

 
 
Section 723 of the NYBCL specifies the manner in which payment of indemnification under Section 722 of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted under Section 721 of the NYBCL may be authorized by the corporation. It provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer has not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification must be authorized by the appropriate corporate action as set forth in Section 723.
 
Section 724 of the NYBCL provides that, upon application by a director or officer, indemnification may be awarded by a court to the extent authorized under Section 722 and Section 723 of the NYBCL. Section 725 of the NYBCL contains certain other miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and officers.
 
Section 726 of the NYBCL authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify: (i) a corporation for any obligation that it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL, (ii) directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by a corporation under the provisions of Article 7 of the NYBCL, and (iii) directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a corporation under such section, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.
 
Our Bylaws provide that each of our officers and directors shall be indemnified by the company against all costs and expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in which he or she may be involved or to which he or she may be made a party by reason of his or her being or having been such an officer or director, except in regards to matters as to which he or she is finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.
 
The Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated May 17, 2009, by and between us and Ira L. Goldknopf, Ph.D, provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless Dr. Goldknopf from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and/or liabilities which he may incur arising out of the normal course of business in carrying out the duties and responsibilities associated with the position of Chief Scientific Officer arising from Dr. Goldknopf’s reliance upon and approved use of information, reports and data furnished by and representations made by us, with respect to the company, where Dr. Goldknopf in turn distributes and conveys such information, reports and data to the public in the normal course of representing the Company.  Such indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, expenses (including all attorneys’ fees), judgments, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Dr. Goldknopf in connection with an action, suit or proceeding brought against us or Dr. Goldknopf.

The Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement, dated June 1, 2009, by and between us and Bronco Technology, Inc. (“Bronco”) through which we obtained the services of Helen R. Park as our interim Chief Executive Officer, provides that we will indemnify and hold harmless Bronco and Ms. Park from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses and/or liabilities which they may incur arising out of the normal course of business in carrying out the duties and responsibilities associated with the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer arising from Ms. Park’s reliance upon and approved use of information, reports and data furnished by and representations made by us, with respect to the company, where she in turn distributes and conveys such information, reports and data to the public in the normal course of representing us.  Such indemnification shall include, but not be limited to, expenses (including all attorneys’ fees), judgments, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Bronco or Ms. Park in connection with an action, suit or proceeding brought against us, Bronco or Ms. Park.

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 a 20% 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;
 
 
II - 4

 
 
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the 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 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)           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 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.
 
(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 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.
