| Item 4. | Description of Securities. |
Not Applicable.
| Item 5. | Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. |
Not Applicable.
| Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the GCL) allows a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the GCL or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the GCL provides for indemnification by a corporation of its directors and officers in terms that are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the COI) of the Company eliminates personal liability of the Company directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as directors to the extent permitted by the GCL. The COI also provides for indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the GCL.
Subject to certain limitations, the Bylaws (the Bylaws) of the Company provide for indemnification of its directors and officers in connection with any threatened, pending or completed (i) action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or (ii) action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The Company will indemnify such directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. In the case of criminal actions or proceedings not by or in the right of the Company, no indemnification shall be made if the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. In the case of actions or suits by or in the right of the Company, no
3
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless the court in which such action or suit was brought determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, such director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court deems proper.
The COI and Bylaws also provide that, subject to certain limitations, the Company shall pay the expenses incurred by a director or officer entitled to indemnification in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
The indemnification and advancement or reimbursement of expenses provisions set forth in the Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the Companys directors or executive officers may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise.
The Company purchased a policy of directors and officers liability insurance.

| Exhibit Number | Description | |
| 5.1 | Opinion of Blank Rome LLP. | |
| 10.1 | Form of Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement under ClearPoint Business Resources, Inc. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan. | |

| 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: |
4
| i. | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| ii. | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; |
| iii. | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; |
Provided however, that Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement; and
| 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 Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| c. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the 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 |
5
| 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. |
