PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following is only a summary of some of the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus which the Company believes to be important to investors. The Company has selected highlights of material aspects of its business to be included in this summary. The Company urges you to read this entire prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Investing in the Company’s securities involves risks. Therefore, you should carefully consider the information provided under the heading “RISK FACTORS” on page 4.

Business

The Company is a Delaware corporation organized in October 2009 under the name 57^th Street General Acquisition Corp. (“57^th Street”). 57^th Street was organized as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, exchangeable share transaction or other similar business transaction, one or more operating businesses or assets. On January 9, 2011, 57th Street, 57th Street Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of 57th Street (“Merger Sub”), Crumbs Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings”), the members of Holdings immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (individually, a “Member” or, collectively, the “Members”) and the representatives of the Members and Holdings, entered into a Business Combination Agreement, amended on each of February 18, 2011, March 17, 2011 and April 7, 2011 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Holdings with Holdings surviving the Merger as a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, in October 2011, 57^th Street changed its name to Crumbs Bake Shop, Inc. to more accurately reflect the nature of its business.

The Company, through its consolidated subsidiary, Holdings, engages in the business of selling a wide variety of cupcakes, cakes, pies, cookies and other baked goods as well as hot and cold beverages under the trade name Crumbs Bake Shop. Cupcake sales have historically comprised the majority of our business. We believe that our baked goods appeal to a wide demographic of customers who span a broad range of socio-economic classes. We operate in urban, suburban, commercial, and residential markets. In addition to our street locations, we have stores in the transportation hubs of Union Station in Washington, D.C. and Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. More recently, we have expanded into mall-based centers, such as Queens Center in Elmhurst, New York, Burlington Mall in Burlington, Massachusetts, Natick Mall in Natick, Massachusetts, and Roosevelt Field in Garden City, New York.

As of December 31, 2012, there were 59 Crumbs Bake Shop stores operating in nine states and Washington, D.C., including 21 stores in Manhattan, New York. Of the total stores, 15 were opened in 2011 and 11 have been opened thus far in 2012. Our sales are primarily conducted through stores in New York, California, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Delaware. A small percentage of baked goods sales are from our wholesale distribution business and catering services. Our e-commerce division athttp://www.crumbs.com permits cupcakes to be shipped nationwide.

The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 110 West 40^th Street, Suite 2100, New York, New York 10018 and its telephone number is (212) 221-7105.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities covered by this prospectus involves certain risks. The significant risks and uncertainties related to the Company, its business and the securities covered by this prospectus of which the Company is aware are discussed below. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties before you decide to buy the securities. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and prospects and could negatively impact the market price of the securities covered by this prospectus. If any of these risks materialize, you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not yet know of, or that the Company currently thinks are immaterial, may also impair the Company’s business operations and the market value of the securities covered by this prospectus. You should also consider the other information contained in and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the Company’s financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to purchase any securities. This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks discussed above.

Risks Related to an Investment in the Shares of Common Stock

The shares of common stock are not insured.

The shares of the Company’s common stock are not deposits and are not insured against loss by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental or private agency.

The shares of common stock are not heavily traded.

The shares of the Company’s common stock are listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, but they are not heavily traded. Securities that are not heavily traded can be more volatile in price than securities trading in an active public market. Factors such as financial results, the introduction of new products or services by us or our competitors, and various factors affecting the industry generally may have a significant impact on the market price of the shares and/or the number of shares traded on any given day. Management cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for the shares of the Company’s common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. Accordingly, holders of the shares may not be able to sell them at the volumes, prices, or times that they desire.

The market price of the Company’s common stock has been volatile and your investment in the Company’s common stock could suffer a decline in value.

The market price of the Company’s common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, highly volatile. Between September 30, 2011 and the date of this prospectus, the Company’s common stock has traded at prices ranging from $2.00 per share to $5.74 per share and the daily reported volume of shares traded has ranged from 100 shares to 1,469,619 shares. In addition, the stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility over the last several years that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading prices of the Company’s common stock. Although it is not possible for us to determine the reasons for prior volatility or to predict future volatility, some specific factors, in addition to broad market fluctuations and the other risk factors identified in this prospectus, that could have a significant effect on the price and trading volume of the Company’s common stock include but are not limited to:

· variations in our quarterly operating results;

· changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance;

· changes in market valuations of similar companies;

· announcements by us of financial news, significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, capital commitments, new products or product enhancements;

· announcements by our competitors regarding their businesses and prospects;

· the public’s reaction to our public announcements and filings with the SEC and those of our competitors;

4

· our loss of a major supplier or our failure to complete significant transactions;

· additions or departures of key personnel; or

· changes in financial markets or general economic conditions.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. Any of these factors could cause the trading price of the Company’s common stock to fluctuate significantly from one trading day to the next trading day, and public disclosure by us regarding these factors, such as our financial results, business developments or other material news, may exacerbate that volatility. As a result, investors may not be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock at prices that equal or exceed the prices at which the shares were originally purchased.

The Company is a holding company and relies on dividends, distributions, loans and other payments, advances and transfers of funds from Holdings to pay dividends, pay expenses and meet its other obligations.

The Company has no direct operations and no significant assets other than its ownership of all of Holdings’ New Crumbs Class A Voting Units (the “Class A Voting Units”). Because the Company conducts its operations through Holdings and its subsidiaries, the Company depends in large part on those entities for dividends, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet its financial obligations, including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (“Tax Receivable Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the Members in connection with the Merger, and its expenses as a publicly traded company, and to pay any dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of Holdings’ Third Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”), which was also entered into in connection with the Merger, all proceeds of any securities issuance by the Company are, subject to certain exceptions, required to be contributed or otherwise provided to Holdings and, pursuant to an Exchange and Support Agreement among the Members, Holdings and the Company that was entered into in connection with the Merger, the Company is generally prohibited from conducting operations outside those activities related to its role as a publicly traded holding company owning the Class A Voting Units. In addition, the Company is generally required to reserve excess cash generated from tax distributions from Holdings for the purpose of providing additional working capital to Holdings. Legal and contractual restrictions in agreements governing future indebtedness of Holdings and its subsidiaries, as well as the financial condition and operating requirements of Holdings and its subsidiaries, may limit the Company’s ability to obtain cash from its subsidiaries. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Holdings may not be sufficient to make distributions or loans to enable the Company to pay any dividends on its common stock or satisfy its other financial obligations. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends to holders of common stock, or satisfy its operating expenses and/or other financial obligations, may be limited by the terms of the LLC Agreement, which generally requires distributions by Holdings to be pro rata to all its members, including the Company and the holders of Holdings’ New Crumbs Class B Exchangeable Units (the “Class B Units”), except in the case of distributions for public company expenses.

These factors, coupled with the Company’s results of operations for the last two years, make it unlikely that the Company will pay dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in shares of the Company’s common stock may be if the market price of the shares appreciates and you sell your shares at a profit.

Concentration of ownership of the Company may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

Without giving effect to any sales that may be made pursuant to this offering, our directors and executive officers beneficially own, in the aggregate, 36.1% of the outstanding voting power of the Company and our initial stockholder, 57th Street GAC Holdings, LLC, beneficially owns 5.7% of the outstanding voting power of the Company. Such persons, if acting together, have the ability to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the nomination and election of directors, the determination of the Company’s corporate and management policies and the determination of the outcome of significant corporate transaction such as mergers or acquisitions and asset sales. In addition, in the event that the Company’s common stock achieves trading prices of $17.50 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days in 2012 and/or $20 per share for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days in 2012 or 2013 and/or the Company achieves adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of $17.5 million, $25.0 million, and/or $30.0 million at particular points in time during the period beginning May 6, 2011 and ending on December 31, 2015 (such period referred to as the “Earnout Period”), then certain members of Holdings will be entitled to receive additional securities that will be exchangeable for up to 4,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Contingency Consideration”). During the Earnout Period, the holders (the “Series A Holders”) of the Company’s Series A Voting Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”), exclusively and as a separate class, are entitled to elect such number of directors substantially equivalent to a number of directors commensurate with the then-aggregate beneficial ownership of the Series A Holders (the “Commensurate Ownership”); provided, however, that, to the extent that the Commensurate Ownership would result in the ability of the Series A Holders to elect a fraction of a seat on the Board of Directors, the Series A Holders are permitted to “round-up” to the nearest whole-number the number of directors the Series A Holders could appoint to the Board of Directors such that the aggregate number of the directors the Series A Holders could elect would exceed the Commensurate Ownership of the Series A Holders, so long as such rounding-up would not result in the Series A Holders electing a majority of the Board of Directors. Some of our directors and executive officers are members of Holdings who may become entitled to receive such Contingency Securities. These concentrations of voting power and ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

5

The Selling Stockholders may choose to sell their shares at prices below the current market price.

The Selling Stockholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of the Company’s common stock covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of these shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Holders of the shares of the Company’s common stock would experience substantial dilution in their investment as a result of subsequent exercises of outstanding warrants, exchanges of other outstanding securities and/or the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 5,456,300 shares of the Company’s common stock and 2,340,000 outstanding Class B Units that are exchangeable for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis. Pursuant to the arrangements under which the Contingency Securities were issued, Holdings could be required to issue up to an additional 4,400,000 Class B Units. The exercise of the warrants and/or the exchange of the Class B Units would result in the issuance of a significant number of new shares of common stock. In addition, the Company could issue a significant number of shares of common stock in connection with future acquisitions or financings or pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan. Any of these issuances would dilute the Company’s existing stockholders, and such dilution could be significant. Moreover, such dilution could have a material adverse effect on the market price for the shares.

The existing members of Holdings will receive payments for certain tax benefits that the Company may claim arising in connection with the Merger and related transactions, and the amounts that the Company may pay could be significant.

In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the Members that provides for the payment by the Company to the Members of up to 75% of the benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) the payment of the Merger consideration other than the Class B Units, (ii) the exchange of Class B Units for shares of common stock, and (iii) certain other tax benefits in connection with the Merger and related transactions, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

It is expected that the payments that the Company may make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments. There may be a material negative effect on the Company’s liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company’s securities by the Members.

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement to the members of Holdings may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits that the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, or if at any time the Company elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company’s (or its successor’s) obligations would be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the potential tax benefits arising from the Merger and related transactions (including as a result of entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement). As a result, (i) the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than the specified percentage of the actual benefits it realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) if the Company elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, it would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits, which upfront payment may be made years in advance of the actual realization of such future benefits. In these situations, the Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on its liquidity. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to finance its obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions determined by the Company. Although the Company is not aware of any issue that would cause the Internal Revenue Service to challenge its expected tax reporting positions, the Company will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the benefits that the Company actually realizes.

6

The Company’s common stock could be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market if the Company fails to comply with its continued listing standards.

The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its common stock on this market. If the NASDAQ Capital Market delists the common stock from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the continued listing standards or timely regain compliance, then the Company and its stockholders could face material adverse consequences which include:

· a limited availability of market quotations for the shares;

· a determination that the Company common stock is a “penny stock”, which would require brokers trading in the common stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the common stock;

· a limited amount of analyst coverage; and/or

· a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The Company is subject to anti-takeover effects of certain charter and bylaw provisions and Delaware law, as well as its substantial insider ownership.

The Company has provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws that:

· make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company, discourage a third party from attempting to acquire control of the Company;

· enable the Company to issue preferred stock without a vote of stockholders or other stockholder action;

· make it more difficult for stockholders to take certain corporate actions; and

· may delay or prevent a change of control.

These and other provisions of the Company’s charter documents, certain provisions of Delaware law and the substantial insider ownership of the Company’s securities could delay or make more difficult certain types of transactions involving a change of control of the Company or its management. As a result, the market price of the Company’s common stock may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our business could be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to achieve our growth strategy.

Our growth strategy depends on our ability to open new stores on a timely and profitable basis. We have experienced delays in store openings from time to time. We may experience delays inthe future, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve itsexpansion goals in the future. Any inability to implement our growth strategy could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. Our ability to expand successfully will depend on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. We may also, from time to time, choose to alter our stated growth plans based on any or all of the following factors:

· identification and availability of suitable store sites;

· competition for prime real estate sites;

· negotiation of favorable leases;

7

· management of construction and development costs of new stores;

· securing required governmental approvals and permits;

· recruitment of qualified operating personnel;

· the availability of, and our ability to obtain, adequate suppliers of ingredients that meet its quality standards;

· the impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities;

· competition in new and existing markets; and

· general economic conditions.

We have grown rapidly in recent years and we have limited operating experience at our current scale of operations; if we are unable to manage our operations at our current size or are unable to effectively manage any future growth, our brand image and financial performance may suffer.

Our ability to effectively manage ourgrowth will require us to continue to enhance these systems, procedures and controls and to locate, hire, train and retain operating personnel.

We have expanded our operations rapidly in recent periods. If our operations continue to grow, then we will be required to continue to expand our organization, to upgrade our management information systems and other processes and to obtain more space for our expanding administrative support and other headquarter personnel. These systems and processesmay not be adequate to support our expansion. In addition, we could experience difficulties in hiring, training and managing an increasing number of employees and/or difficulties in obtaining sufficient raw materials and baking capacity to produce our products. These difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, our growth strategy and the substantial investment associated with the development of each new store may cause our operating results to fluctuate and be unpredictable and/or may adversely affect our profits. There can be no assurance that we will be able to respond on a timely basis to all of the changingdemands that our planned expansion will impose on management and on our existing infrastructure. If we are unable to effectively manage our growth, then our business and operating results could be materially and adversely impacted and future results will be unpredictable.

Our expansion into new markets may present increased risks due to our unfamiliarity with those areas.

Some of our new stores are planned for markets where we have little or no operating experience. Those markets may have different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns than our existing markets. Consumers in a new market may not befamiliar with the Crumbs brand, and we may need to build brand awareness in such market through greater investments in advertising and promotional activity than we originally planned. We may find it more difficult in new markets to hire, motivate and keepqualified employees. Stores opened in new markets may also have lower average store revenue than stores opened in existing markets, and may have higher construction, occupancy or operating costs than stores in existing markets. Further, we may have difficulty finding reliable commercial bakers, suppliers or distributors that can provide us, either initially or over time, with adequate supplies of ingredients meeting our quality standards. Revenue at stores opened in new markets may not reach expected revenue and profit levels, which could negatively impact overall profitability.

We have a limited operating history and may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.

The first Crumbs Bake Shop store was opened in 2003. As of November 1, 2012, we were operating 55 stores, 12 of which had been open for less than one year. Accordingly, there is limited information with which toevaluate our business and prospects. As a result, forecasts of our future revenue, expenses and operating results may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer history of operations. We cannot predict whether we will be able to achieve or maintain revenue growth, profitability or positive cash flow in the future.

Stockholders should not rely on our historical average store sales because they may not be indicative of future results.

Our average store sales may not continue at the rates achieved over the past several years. A number of factors have historically affected, and may affect in the future, our average store sales, including:

8

· introduction of new menu items;

· initial sales performance by new stores and the impact of cannibalization;

· weather conditions;

· competition;

· consumer trends;

· ourability to execute our business strategy effectively; and

· general regional and national economic conditions.

Changes in our average store sales or our inability to increase our average unit sales could cause our operating results to vary adversely from expectations, which could adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in our average sales results may not meet theexpectations of analysts or investors, which could cause the price of the Company’s common stock to fluctuate.

Our results may fluctuate and could fall below expectations of securities analysts and investors due to various factors beyond our control, resulting in a decline in the market prices of the Company’s securities.

Our quarterly and yearly results have varied in the past, and we believe that our quarterly operating results will vary in the future. Factors such as extreme weather conditions, labor availability and wages of store management and employees, infrastructure costs, changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending, general economic conditions, commodity, energy, insurance or other operating costs may cause our quarterly results to fluctuate. For these reasons, results for any one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year. Holders of the Company’s common stock should not rely upon our historical quarterly operating results as indications of future performance. Changes in our operating results, whether due to the foregoing factors or otherwise, could cause the market prices of the Company’s common stock to decline.

Our revenue and profit growth could be adversely affected if comparable store revenue is less than expected.

Maintaining comparable store revenue enables fixed costs to be spread over a consistent revenue base. We may not achieve comparable store revenue. If this were to happen, revenue and profit growth would be adversely affected.

Our store expansion strategy could cause sales in some of our existing stores to decline.

In accordance with our expansion strategy, we intend to open new stores, including in our existing markets. Because our customers typically represent customers from a relatively small radius around each of our stores, the sales performance and customer counts for stores near the area in which a new store opens may decline due to cannibalization, or competition between our closely-situated stores.

As we expand our store base, we may be unable to achieve the comparable store sales that we have experienced in the past, which could cause the Company’s stock price to decline.

As we expand our store base, we may not be able to achieve the levels of comparable store sales that we experienced prior to our expansion efforts. In addition, we may not be able to maintain our historic average sales as we expand within current markets or moves into new markets. If our future comparable store sales decline or fail to meet market expectations, then the price of the Company’s common stock could decline. In addition, the aggregate results of operations of our stores have fluctuated in the past and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. A variety of factors affect comparable store sales, including, among others, consumer trends, competition, current economic conditions, pricing, inflation, changes in our product mix and the success of marketing programs. If we misjudge the market for our products, then we may acquire excess inventory for some of our products and underestimate opportunities for other products. These factors may cause our comparable store sales results in the future to differ materially from previous periods andourexpectations, which could harm our results of operations and result in a decline in the price of the Company’s common stock.

We may face difficulties entering into new or modified arrangements with existing or new suppliers or new service providers.

As we expand our operations, we may have to seek new commercial bakers, suppliers and service providers or enter into newarrangements with existing ones, and we may encounter difficulties or be unable to negotiate pricing or other terms as favorable as those we currently enjoy. Our inability to enter into such new agreements on favorable terms may harm our business and operating results.

The geographic concentration of our stores in the Northeast region of the United States subjects us to an increased risk of loss of revenue from facts affecting those areas.

As of November 1, 2012, we operated 43 of our 55 stores in the Northeast, of which 22 are located in Manhattan, New York. As a result, we are particularly susceptible to adverse trends, severe weather, competition and economic conditions in that area. In addition, given our geographic concentration, negative publicity regarding any of our stores could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations, as could other regional factors impacting the local economies in that market.

We are subject to all of the risks associated with leasing space subject to long-term non-cancelable leases and with respect to the real property.

We compete for real estate, and our inability to secure real estate in desirable locations or on favorable lease terms could impact our ability to grow. Our leases generally have initial terms of between 10 and 15 years, and generally can be extended in up to five-year increments (at increased rates) if at all. Additionally, in certain instances, there may be change in control provisions in the lease which put us at a competitive disadvantage when negotiating extensions or which require us to obtain landlord consent for certain transactions. All of our leases require a fixed annual rent, although some require the payment of additional rent if store revenue exceeds a negotiated amount. Our leases include ‘‘net’’ leases, which require us to pay a proportionate share of the cost of insurance, taxes, maintenance and utilities. We generally cannot cancel these leases. Some additional sites that we may lease are likely to be subject to similar long-term non-cancelable leases. If an existing or future store is not profitable and we decide to close a particular store, we may nonetheless be committed to perform our obligations under the applicable lease including, among other things, payment of the base rent for the balance of the lease term. In addition, as each of our leases expires, we may fail to negotiate renewals, either on commercially acceptable terms or at all, which could cause us to close stores in desirable locations. Current locations of our stores may become unattractive as demographic patterns change.

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property adequately, which could harm the value of our brand and adversely affect our business.

Our intellectual property is material to the conduct of our business. Our ability to implement our business plan successfully depends in part on our ability to build further brand recognition using our trademarks, service marks and other proprietary intellectual property, including our name and logos. Holdings has made a practice of registering its core trademarks in the United States. Holdings also has registered certain marks in the European Community and Japan; however, if Holdings’ efforts to protect its intellectual property are inadequate, or if any third party misappropriates or infringes on such intellectual property, then the value of our brands may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and might prevent our brands from achieving or maintaining market acceptance. Although we have not encountered claims against us from prior users of intellectual property relating to our bake shop operations in areas where we operate or intend to conduct operations, there can be no assurances that we will not encounter such claims. Additionally, although we police third party uses of our brands, new infringing uses could occur, which could dilute the distinctive nature of our brands. Any claims against us, or unchecked use by third parties, could harm our image, brand or competitive position and cause us to incur significant penalties and costs.

10

We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available on acceptable terms.

Our future capital needs will depend on various factors, such as market acceptance of our existing products and any new products that we develop, marketing and sales costs, our ability to reduce operating expenses, and the extent to which we implement our growth and business strategies. None of these factors can be predicted with any certainty. For the foreseeable future, we expect to rely on our cash reserves and cash flow from operations to fund our future operations. In the event that these sources of cash are not sufficient, however, we may need to raise additional capital. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain additional capital in the future or that such capital will be available to us on favorable terms. Our ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, our operating performance and investor sentiment, which may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional capital transactions unattractive. If we are unable to raise additional capital at the times or in the amounts needed, then we might have to delay, scale back or abandon our plans, and our operations could consume our current liquidity resources.

Our success depends substantially upon the continued retention of certain key personnel.

We believe that our success has been, and continues to be, dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our senior management team. Certain members of management are currently employed on an ‘‘at-will’’ basis and may resign from employment at any time. Each of Julian R. Geiger, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Bauer, our Senior Vice-President of Business Development, Mia Bauer, our Vice-President and Creative Director, and John D. Ireland, our Senior Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer, have entered into employment agreements with the Company and Holdings. Our inability to retain employees who are key to our success could adversely affect our future performance.

Our business is affected by changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending.

Our success depends, in part, upon the popularity of our food products and our ability to develop new menu items that appeal to consumers. Shifts in consumer preferences away from our stores or our menu items, our inability to develop new menu items that appeal to consumers, or changes in our menu that eliminate items popular with some consumers could harm our business. Also, our success depends to a significant extent on discretionary consumer spending, which is influenced by general economic conditions and the availability of discretionary income. Accordingly, we may experience declines in sales during economic downturns or during periods of uncertainty. Any material decline in the amount of discretionary spending could have a material adverse effect on our sales, results of operations, business and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to compete with cupcake-specific bakeries, traditional bakeries and other food service businesses.

The industry in which we operate is intensely competitive and we compete with many well-established traditional bakeries, cupcake-specific bakeries and other companies providing baked goods and coffee, on the basis of taste, quality and price of products offered, customer service, atmosphere, location, convenience and overall customer experience. We also compete with certain quick-services restaurants, delicatessens, cafés, take-out food service companies, supermarkets and convenience stores that offer the same types of baked goods. Aggressive discounts by our competitors or the entrance of new competitors into our markets could reduce our sales and profit margins. We also compete with these competitors for desirable locations.

Many of our competitors or potential competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than us, which may allow them to compete more effectively than us with respect to some or all of the factors set forth in the preceding paragraph. As our competitors expand their operations, we expect competition to intensify. In addition, other new or established companies may develop baked goods stores that operate with concepts similar to ours, including the sale of gourmet cupcakes. Competition also could cause us to modify or evolve our products, designs or strategies. If we do so, then we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in implementing the changes or that our profitability will not be negatively impacted by them.

We also compete with other employers in our markets for hourly workers and may be subject to higher labor costs. If we are unable to successfully compete in our markets, then we may be unable to sustain or increase our revenues and profitability.

We are dependent upon a small number of independent commercial bakeries for a significant amount of our menu items. The loss of a supplier, other disruptions to our supply chain, and/or our inability to predict demand could adversely affect our operating results.

We currently rely on, and have agreements with, four independent commercial bakeries for the manufacture and daily delivery of our baked goods products inthe New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C. area markets.Accordingly, we are particularly susceptible to risks related to these suppliers, including their continued ability to maintain sufficient production of baked goods, to produce baked goods that meet our quality standards, and the risk of delivery disruptions that could arise due to a number of factors including adverse weather, traffic conditions and mechanical issues related to their delivery trucks. Our dependence on frequent deliveries to our stores by regional distributors could cause shortages, supply interruptions and/or the need to quickly seek alternative suppliers at higher prices, all of which could adversely impact our operations. Additionally, because none of our stores bake the baked goods they sell, each of our stores is required to estimate and order sufficient inventory for each day. If stores are unable to predict the demand accurately, then our profitability and operating results may be adversely affected. There are many factors which could cause shortages or interruptions in the supply of our products, including weather, unanticipated demand, labor, production or distribution problems, quality issues and cost, and the financial health of our suppliers, most of which are beyond our control, and which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

11

Our business could be adversely affected by increased labor costs or labor shortages.

Labor is a primary component in the cost of operating our business. We devote significant resources to recruiting and training our managers and hourly employees. Increased labor costs due to competition, increased minimum wage or employee benefits costs or otherwise, would adversely impact our operating expenses. In addition, our success depends on our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, including store managers and staff, to keep pace with our growth strategy. If we are unable to attract, motivate and retain qualified employees, then our results of operations may be adversely affected.

Fluctuations in various food and supply costs, including dairy, could adversely affect our operating results.

The prices of butter, flour, milk, sugar and eggs, which are the main ingredients in our baked goods, and coffee, may fluctuate. Supplies and prices of the various products that are used to prepare our baked goods or coffee can be affected by a variety of factors, such as weather, seasonal fluctuations, demand, politics and economics in the producing countries. An increase in pricing of any ingredient that is used in our baked goods could result in an adjustment to the compensation due to suppliers, and we may not be able to increase prices to cover increased costs which would have an adverse effect on our operating results and profitability.

We could become a party to litigation that could adversely affect us by distracting management, increasing our expenses or subjecting us to material money damages and other remedies.

We may be subject to the filing of complaints or lawsuits against us alleging that we are responsible for some illness or injury suffered at or after a visit to our stores, or alleging that we have problems with food quality or operations. We are also subject to a variety of other claims arising in the ordinary course of our business, including personal injury claims, contract claims and claims alleging violations of federal and state law regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters, and we could become subject to class action or other lawsuits related to these or different matters in the future. Claims may be expensive to defend and may divert time and money away from our operations and hurt its performance. A judgment in excess of our insurance coverage or our insurance carriers’ decision to deny or limit insurance coverage for any claims could materially and adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Any adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may also materially and adversely affect our reputation or prospects, which in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and profitability.

If we fail to comply with governmental laws or regulations or if these laws or regulations change, then our business could suffer.

In connection with the operation of our business, we are subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, including those related to:

· building construction and zoning requirements;

· nutritional content labeling and disclosure requirements;

· management and protection of the personal data of our employees and customers;

· environmental matters; and

· sales tax.

Our stores are licensed and subject to regulation under federal, state and local laws, including business, health, fire and safety codes.

Various federal and state labor laws govern our operations and our relationship with our employees, including minimum wage, overtime, and accommodation and working conditions, benefits, citizenship requirements, insurance matters, workers’ compensation, disability laws such as the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, child labor laws and anti-discrimination laws.

12

These labor laws are complex and vary from location to location, which complicates monitoring and compliance. As a result, regulatory risks are inherent in our operations. We may experience material difficulties or failures with respect to compliance with these labor laws in the future. Our failure to comply with these labor laws could result in required renovations to our facilities, litigation, fines, penalties, judgments or other sanctions including the temporary suspension of the operation of our stores or a delay in construction or opening of stores, any of which could adversely affect our business, operations and reputation.

In recent years, there has been an increased legislative, regulatory and consumer focus at the federal, state and municipal levels on the food industry, including nutrition and advertising practices. For example, several states and individual municipalities, including New York City and the State of California, have adopted regulations requiring that certain restaurants include caloric or other nutritional information on their menu boards and on printed menus, which must be plainly visible to consumers at the point of ordering. Likewise, there have been several similar proposals on the national level. As a result, we may in the future become subject to other regulations in the area of nutrition disclosure or advertising, such as requirements to provide information about the nutritional content of our food, which could increase our expenses or slow customer flow.

The continuing challenging economic conditions could adversely affect our business and financial results and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources.

Although it has been widely reported that the recent recession has officially ended and there are signs that conditions may be improving, there is no certainty that this trend will continue or that credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not deteriorate again. Our customers may make fewer discretionary purchases as a result of job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, reduced access to credit and falling home prices. Because a key point in our business strategy is maintaining our transaction count and margin growth, any significant decrease in customer traffic or average profit per transaction will negatively impact our financial performance as reduced revenue creates downward pressure on margins. Financial difficulties experienced by our suppliers could result in product delays or shortages. Additionally, it is unknown when the broader national economy will fully recover. An economy that fails to improve or that further deteriorates could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to raise additional capital if needed, or the ability of our financial institutions to honor draws on our standby letters of credit, and could otherwise negatively impact our business and financial results.

We may incur costs resulting from security risks we may face in connection with our electronic processing and transmission of confidential customer information.

We use commercially available software and other technologies to provide security for processing and transmission of customer debit and credit card data. As of June 30, 2012, approximately 60.2%of our revenue is attributable to debit and credit card transactions. Our systems could be compromised in the future, which could result in the misappropriation of customer information or the disruption of systems. Either of those consequences could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and business or subject us to additional liabilities.

Our industry is affected by litigation and publicity concerning food quality, health and other issues, which can cause customers to avoid our products and result in liabilities.

Food service businesses, such as bakeries, can be adversely affected by litigation and complaints from customers or government authorities resulting from food quality, illness, injury or other health concerns or operating issues stemming from one store or a limited number of stores. Adverse publicity about these allegations may negatively affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging customers from buying our products. We could also incur significant liabilities if a lawsuit or claim results in a decision against us or litigation costs regardless of the result.

The Company will incur significant costs as a result of being a public company.

As a public company, the Company incurs significant legal, accounting and other expenses. The U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and related rules of the SEC regulate corporate governance practices of public companies. For example, under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company must document and test its disclosure and internal control procedures, and its management must periodically assess and report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, if the Company identifies any issues in complying with those requirements (for example, if the Company or its independent registered public accounting firm identifies a material weakness or significant deficiency in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting), then the Company could incur additional costs in rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect the reputation or investor perceptions of the Company. In addition, the Company incurs additional expenses associated with its SEC reporting requirements. Compliance with these public company requirements can be costly and may require management to divert time and attention away from running the Company.

The Selling Stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:

· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

· privately negotiated transactions;

· short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the Commission;

· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

· broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

· any other method permitted by applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act or other applicable provisions of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the shares of the Company’s common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the Company’s common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

16

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The Selling Stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.

The Selling Stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required, the shares of the Company’s common stock to be sold, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The Company has advised the Selling Stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable, the Company will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.

The Company has agreed with the Selling Stockholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (ii) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as corrected, provides that all of its directors, officers, employees and agents will be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

Section 145 of the DGCL concerning indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents is set forth below.

Section 145. Indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents; insurance.

(a)   A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

(b)   A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of 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 the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all 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.

II-1

(c)   To the extent that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

(d)   Any indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of this section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination, (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

(e)   Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

(f)   The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to such provision after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

(g)   A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this section.

(h)   For purposes of this section, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this section with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

II-2

(i)   For purposes of this section, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to any employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the corporation” as referred to in this section.

(j)   The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(k)  The Court of Chancery is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all actions for advancement of expenses or indemnification brought under this section or under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Court of Chancery may summarily determine a corporation’s obligation to advance expenses (including attorneys’ fees).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a 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 Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the 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.

Paragraph B of Article Eighth of the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as corrected, provides:

The Corporation, to the full extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL, as amended from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which such officer or director may be entitled to indemnification hereunder shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized hereby.

Effective October 25, 2011, the Company amended its Bylaws (i) to provide that the scope of indemnity provided by the Company is limited to the Company’s officers and directors; (ii) expand the scope of indemnity to former directors or officers and clarify the procedures pursuant to which the board of directors, or a committee of disinterested directors, as the case may be, determine that indemnification is proper; (iii) to require the Company to pay expenses incurred by a director or officer in their defense of certain actions in a timely manner and in advance of a final disposition of such action, subject to an affirmative determination by a majority of the disinterested directors then in office that we have the financial wherewithal to make such payment; (iv) to clarify that the indemnification of directors and officers provided by our Bylaws is not exclusive, and to state the Company policy to indemnify covered directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law; and (v) to provide that the Company may, to the extent authorized by the board of directors, provide indemnification rights and advance expenses to our employees and agents similar to those provided to directors and officers.

On November 14, 2011, the Company and Holdings entered into an employment agreement with Julian R. Geiger as their President and Chief Executive Officer, which also provides that the Company and Holdings will, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of Delaware, indemnify Mr. Geiger from, and provide to him a right of contribution for and against any loss or action arising out of the discharging of his duties under the agreement unless due to his willful misconduct or conviction of a fraud, felony or crime of moral turpitude in accordance with the terms and conditions of an Indemnification Agreement entered into as of November 14, 2011, by and among the Company, Holdings and Julian R. Geiger.

(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), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is onForm S-3 orForm F-3 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, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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;

As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii)           If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6)          That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of 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;

(c)-(g)     Not applicable.

(h)           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.
