accurately or over which we have no control. The risk factors and cautionary
language discussed in this prospectus provide examples of risks, uncertainties
and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the

among
other things:
|

|
|
|

continued
compliance with government regulations;
|
|
|
·
|
legislation
or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting
the business in which Hill is engaged;

|
|
·
|
fluctuations
in client demand;

management
of rapid growth;

forward-looking statements included herein attributable to us are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred
to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable laws and
regulations, Hill undertakes no obligations to update these forward-looking

ABOUT
HILL INTERNATIONAL, INC.
We
provide fee-based project management and construction claims services to clients
worldwide, but primarily in the United States, Europe, the Middle East/North
Africa and Asia/Pacific. Our clients include the United States and other
national governments and their agencies, state and local governments and their
agencies and the private sector. Our company was incorporated in Delaware in
2004, under the name Arpeggio Acquisition Corporation, as a specified purpose
acquisition corporation. On June 28, 2006, we merged with Hill International,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and our company was the surviving entity of the
merger. Following the merger, we changed the name of our company to Hill
International, Inc. We are organized into two key operating segments: the
Project Management Group and the Construction Claims Group.
In
our
Project Management Group, we provide construction management services which
include program management, project management, construction management, project
management oversight, troubled project turnaround, staff augmentation,
estimating and cost management, project labor agreements and management
consulting. In our Construction Claims Group, we advise clients in order to
assist them in preventing or resolving claims and disputes based upon schedule
delays, cost overruns and other problems on major construction projects
worldwide.
Our
executive and operating offices are located at 303 Lippincott Centre, Marlton,
New Jersey 08053. The telephone number at our executive office is (856)
810-6200. We maintain a website at www.hillintl.com. The information contained
on our website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into,
this
prospectus.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of
the
other information included in this report in evaluating your investment in
Hill
securities and any investment you decide to make in the common stock of Hill.
The
value
of your investment in Hill is subject to the significant risks inherent in
the
construction management and claims consulting business. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below and other information
included in this report. If any of the events described below occur, our
business and financial results could be adversely affected in a material way.
This could cause the trading price of our equity securities to decline, perhaps
significantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment.
We
depend on long-term government contracts, many of which are funded on an annual
basis. If appropriations are not made in subsequent years of a multiple-year
contract, we will not realize all of our potential revenue and profit from
that
project.
A
majority of our revenues is derived from contracts with agencies and departments
of federal, state, local and foreign governments. During our 2007, 2006 and
2005
fiscal years, approximately 54.0%, 54.7% and 69.2%, respectively, of our total
revenues were derived from contracts with government agencies and authorities.
Most
government contracts are subject to the continuing availability of legislative
appropriation. Legislatures typically appropriate funds for a given program
on a
year-by-year basis, even though contract performance may take more than one
year. As a result, at the beginning of a program, the related contract is only
partially funded, and additional funding is normally committed only as
appropriations are made in each subsequent fiscal year. These appropriations,
and the timing of payment of appropriated amounts, may be influenced by, among
other things, the state of the economy, competing priorities for appropriation,
the timing and amount of tax receipts and the overall level of government
expenditures. If appropriations are not made in subsequent years on government
contracts, then we will not realize all of our potential revenue and profit
from
those contracts.
Because
we depend on government contracts for a significant portion of our revenue,
our
inability to win profitable government contracts could harm our operations
and
adversely affect our net income.
Total
revenues from U.S. federal government contracts and from state and local
government contracts represented approximately 11.7% and 29.2%, respectively,
of
our total revenues during fiscal year 2007 and revenues from foreign government
contracts represented approximately 13.1% of such annual revenues. Our inability
to win profitable government contracts could harm our operations and adversely
affect our net income. Government contracts are typically awarded through a
heavily regulated procurement process. Some government contracts are awarded
to
multiple competitors, causing increases in overall competition and pricing
pressure. The competition and pricing pressure, in turn, may require us to
make
sustained post-award efforts to reduce costs under these contracts. If we are
not successful in reducing the amount of costs we anticipate, our profitability
on these contracts may be negatively impacted. Also, some of our federal
government contracts require U.S. government security clearances. If we or
certain of our personnel were to lose these security clearances, our ability
to
continue performance of these contracts or to win new contracts requiring a
clearance may be negatively impacted.
We
depend on contracts that may be terminated by our clients on short notice,
which
may affect our ability to recognize all of our potential revenue and profit
from
the project.
Substantially
all of our contracts are subject to termination by the client either at its
convenience or upon our default. If one of our clients terminates a contract
at
its convenience, then we typically are able to recover only costs incurred
or
committed, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to
termination, which could prevent us from recognizing all of our potential
revenue and profit from that contract. If one of our clients terminates the
contract due to our default, we could be liable for excess costs incurred by
the
client in re-procuring services from another source, as well as other
costs.
Our
contracts with governmental agencies are subject to audit, which could result
in
adjustments to reimbursable contract costs or, if we are charged with
wrongdoing, possible temporary or permanent suspension from participating in
government programs.
Our
books
and records are subject to audit by the various governmental agencies we serve
and by their representatives. These audits can result in adjustments to
reimbursable contract costs and allocated overhead. In addition, if as a result
of an audit, we or one of our subsidiaries is charged with wrongdoing or the
government agency determines that we or one of our subsidiaries is otherwise
no
longer eligible for federal contracts, then we or, as applicable, that
subsidiary, could be temporarily suspended or, in the event of convictions
or
civil judgments, could be prohibited from bidding on and receiving future
government contracts for a period of time. Furthermore, as a U.S. government
contractor, we are subject to an increased risk of investigations, criminal
prosecution, civil fraud, whistleblower lawsuits and other legal actions and
liabilities to which non-government contractors are not, the results of which
could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We
submit change orders to our customers for work we perform beyond the scope
of
some of our contracts. If our customers do not approve these change orders,
our
net income and results of operations could be adversely
impacted.
We
typically submit change orders under some of our contracts for payment for
work
performed beyond the initial contractual requirements. The clients may not
approve or may contest these change orders and we cannot assure you that these
claims will be approved in whole, in part or at all. If these claims are not
approved, our net income and results of operations could be adversely
impacted.
Our
backlog of uncompleted projects under contract or awarded is subject to
unexpected adjustments and cancellations, including future appropriations by
the
applicable contracting government agency, and is, therefore, an uncertain
indicator of our future revenues and profits.
At
December 31, 2007, our backlog of uncompleted projects under contract or awarded
was approximately $416,000,000. We cannot assure you that the revenues
attributed to uncompleted projects under contract will be realized or, if
realized, will result in profits.
Many
projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time because of
the
size or long-term nature of the contract. In addition, from time to time
projects are scaled back or cancelled. These types of backlog reductions
adversely affect the revenue and profit that we ultimately receive from
contracts reflected in our backlog. Included in our backlog is the maximum
amount of all indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity ("ID/IQ"), or task order,
contracts, or a lesser amount if we do not reasonably expect to be issued task
orders for the maximum amount of such contracts. We cannot provide any assurance
that we will in fact be awarded the maximum amount of such
contracts.
We
depend on the continued services of certain executive officers. We can not
assure you that we will be able to retain the services of these
individuals.
We
are
dependent upon the efforts and service of certain executive officers,
particularly Irvin E. Richter, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and
David L. Richter, our President and Chief Operating Officer, because of their
knowledge, experience, skills and relationships with major clients and other
members of our management team. Irvin E. Richter has served as our Chief
Executive Officer since 1976. We have employment agreements with these
individuals which contain non-competition covenants which survive their actual
term of employment. We also maintain key-man life insurance coverage for Irvin
E. Richter. Nevertheless, if we lost the services of one or both of these
individuals for any reason, that could have an adverse effect on our
operations.
Our
ability to grow and compete in our industry will be harmed if we do not retain
the continued service of our key management, sales and technical personnel
and
identify, hire and retain additional qualified personnel.
There
is
intense competition for qualified management, sales and technical personnel
in
the industry sectors in which we compete. We may not be able to continue to
attract and retain qualified personnel who are necessary for the development
of
our business or to replace qualified personnel. Any growth we experience is
expected to place increased demands on our resources and will likely require
the
addition of personnel and the development of additional expertise by existing
personnel. Also, some of our personnel hold security clearance levels required
to obtain government projects and, if we were to lose some or all of these
personnel, they may be difficult to replace. Loss of the services of, or failure
to recruit, key personnel could limit our ability to complete existing projects
successfully and to compete for new projects.
Our
dependence on subcontractors, partners and specialists could adversely affect
our business.
We
rely
on third-party subcontractors as well as third-party strategic partners and
specialists to complete our projects. To the extent that we cannot engage such
subcontractors, partners or specialists or cannot engage them on a competitive
basis, our ability to complete a project in a timely fashion or at a profit
may
be impaired. If we are unable to engage appropriate strategic partners or
specialists in some instances, we could lose the ability to win some contracts.
In addition, if a subcontractor or specialist is unable to deliver its services
according to the negotiated terms for any reason, including the deterioration
of
its financial condition or over-commitment of its resources, we may be required
to purchase the services from another source at a higher price. This may reduce
the profit to be realized or result in a loss on a project for which the
services were needed.
If
our partners fail to perform their contractual obligations on a project, we
could be exposed to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced profits.
We
sometimes enter into joint venture agreements and other contractual arrangements
with outside partners to jointly bid on and execute a particular project. The
success of these joint projects depends on the satisfactory performance of
the
contractual obligations of our partners. If any of our partners fails to
satisfactorily perform its contractual obligations, we may be required to make
additional investments and provide additional services to complete the project.
If we are unable to adequately address our partner's performance issues, then
our client could terminate the joint project, exposing us to legal liability,
loss of reputation or reduced profits.
Our
services expose us to significant risks of liability and our insurance policies
may not provide adequate coverage.
Our
services involve significant risks of professional and other liabilities that
may substantially exceed the fees that we derive from our services. In addition,
we sometimes contractually assume liability under indemnification agreements.
We
cannot predict the magnitude of potential liabilities from the operation of
our
business.
We
currently maintain comprehensive general liability, umbrella and professional
liability insurance policies. Professional liability policies are "claims made"
policies. Thus, only claims made during the term of the policy are covered.
Additionally, our insurance policies may not protect us against potential
liability due to various exclusions and retentions. Partially or completely
uninsured claims, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a
material adverse affect on our business.
International
operations expose us to legal, political and economic risks in different
countries and currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our
financial results.
Revenues
attributable to our international operations comprised 58.1%, 52.6% and 37.4%
of
our total revenues for the 2007, 2006 and 2005 fiscal years, respectively.
We
expect the percentage of revenues attributable to our international operations
to continue to increase. There are risks inherent in doing business
internationally, including:
| |
·
|
lack
of developed legal systems to enforce contractual
rights;
|
| |
·
|
greater
risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection
cycles;
|
| |
·
|
currency
exchange rate fluctuations;
|
| |
·
|
imposition
of governmental controls;
|
| |
·
|
political
and economic instability;
|
| |
·
|
changes
in U.S. and other national government policies affecting the markets
for
our services;
|
| |
·
|
changes
in regulatory practices, tariffs and
taxes;
|
| |
·
|
potential
non-compliance with a wide variety of non-U.S. laws and regulations;
and
|
| |
·
|
general
economic and political conditions in these foreign markets.
|
Any
of
these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of
operations or financial condition.
Changes
to the laws of the foreign countries in which we operate may adversely affect
our international operations.
We
have
contracts to perform services for projects located in a number of foreign
countries, including, among others Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Spain,
Germany, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Latvia, Greece, Turkey, Georgia,
Azerbaijan, Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United
Arab Emirates, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Korea and Australia.
We expect to have additional similar contracts in the future. In addition,
we
have offices or operations in over 25 foreign countries. The laws and
regulations in the countries in which we are working on projects or in which
we
have offices might change. Such changes could have a material adverse effect
on
our business.
Our
business sometimes requires our employees to travel to and work in high security
risk countries, which may result in employee injury, repatriation costs or
other
unforeseen costs.
Many
of
our employees often travel to and work in high security risk countries around
the world that are undergoing or that may undergo political, social and economic
upheavals resulting in war, civil unrest, criminal activity or acts of
terrorism. For example, we have employees working in Iraq, a high security
risk
country with substantial civil unrest and acts of terrorism. As a result, we
may
be subject to costs related to employee injury, repatriation or other unforeseen
circumstances.
We
have acquired and may continue to acquire businesses as strategic opportunities
arise and may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of those
acquisitions.
Since
1998, we have acquired 11 businesses and our strategy is to continue to expand
and diversify our operations with additional acquisitions as strategic
opportunities arise. Some of the risks that may affect our ability to realize
any anticipated benefits from businesses that we acquire include:
|
|
· |
unexpected
losses of key personnel or clients of the acquired
business;
|
|
|
· |
difficulties
arising from the increasing scope, geographic diversity and complexity
of
our operations;
|
|
|
· |
diversion
of management's attention from other business concerns;
and
|
|
|
· |
adverse
effects on existing business relationships with
clients.
|
In
addition, managing the growth of our operations will require us to continually
increase and improve our operational, financial and human resources management
and our internal systems and controls. If we are unable to manage any growth
effectively or to successfully integrate any acquisitions, that could have
a
material adverse effect on our business.
We
cannot be certain that we will be able to raise capital or obtain debt financing
to execute future acquisitions or to meet required capital
needs.
We
are
currently party to a revolving credit agreement to assist in funding working
capital needs and for potential future acquisitions. This agreement contains
certain covenants with respect to minimum net worth, total debt to EBITDA
ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios, billed accounts receivable to total debt
ratios as well as other financial covenants. If our operating results are not
as
positive as we expect, that could cause us to be in default of these covenants.
In addition, our current revolving credit agreement may not provide us with
sufficient credit to meet all of the future financial needs of our business.
There is no guarantee that we could increase the availability under our current
revolving credit agreement or obtain alternative debt or equity financing on
terms that would be acceptable to us, or at all.
The
market price for our common stock could be volatile and could decline, resulting
in a substantial or complete loss of your investment.
The
stock
markets, including the New York Stock Exchange on which we list our common
stock, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. As a result,
the market price of our common stock could be similarly volatile, and investors
in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their shares,
including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The
price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response
to a
number of factors, including:
| |
·
|
our
operating performance and the performance of other similar
companies;
|
| |
·
|
actual
or anticipated differences in our operating
results;
|
| |
·
|
changes
in our revenues or earnings estimates or recommendations by securities
analysts;
|
| |
·
|
publication
of research reports about us or our industry by securities
analysts;
|
| |
·
|
additions
and departures of key personnel;
|
| |
·
|
speculation
in the press or investment
community;
|
| |
·
|
actions
by institutional shareholders;
|
| |
·
|
changes
in accounting principles;
|
| |
·
|
general
market conditions, including factors unrelated to our
performance.
|
Future
sales of our common stock may depress the price of our common
stock.
As
of
April 10, 2008, there were 40,790,422 shares of our common stock outstanding.
We
are registering for re-sale to the public 18,493,925 shares of our common stock,
which represents approximately 45% of all of our shares outstanding and
approximately 86% of our outstanding shares which are held by non-affiliates,
in
the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
An
additional 948,000 shares of our common stock may be issued upon the exercise
of
options held by employees, management and directors. An additional 1,000,000
shares may be issued in early 2009, and an additional 1,000,000 shares may
be issued in 2010 in connection with earnout provisions of the merger
agreement with Arpeggio. Sales of a substantial number of these shares in the
public market could decrease the market price of our common stock. In addition,
the perception that such sales might occur may cause the market price of our
common stock to decline. Future issuances or sales of our common stock could
have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
The
Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock covered
by this prospectus.
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
currently intend to retain all of our earnings to finance our operations, repay
any outstanding indebtedness and fund our future growth. We have not paid any
dividends in the past and do not expect to pay any dividends on our common
stock
for the foreseeable future.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
description of the securities covered by this prospectus is contained in our
proxy statement filed with the SEC on June 6, 2006, under the heading
“Description of Arpeggio Common Stock and Other Securities — Common Stock,”
and that description is incorporated herein by reference.
SELLING
STOCKHOLDERS
The
following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership
of our common stock as of April 10, 2008, by each of the selling stockholders
and the maximum number of shares that may be sold hereunder.
We
do not
know when or in what amounts the selling stockholders will offer shares for
sale. The selling stockholders may choose not to sell any or all of the shares
offered by this prospectus. We cannot estimate the number of shares that will
be
sold in the offering or held by the selling stockholders after completion of
the
offering. Solely for purposes of this table, however, we have assumed that,
after completion of the offering, the maximum number of shares covered by this
prospectus will have been sold by the selling stockholders. Messrs. I. Richter
and D. Richter are directors and executive officers of Hill, and Messrs. Ajdler,
Clymer, Doyle, Fellheimer and Rosenfeld are directors of Hill. Messrs. Samelian,
Ghali and Emma are executive officers of Hill, and Messrs. S. Richter, Kardous,
Ramirez, Pile, Giunta, Palmer, Griffin and Borhan are officers of Hill.
The
amounts and percentage of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the
basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial
ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to
be a
“beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,”
which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security,
or
“investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the
disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner
of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial
ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be
deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed
to
be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic
interest. The inclusion of shares in this table does not constitute an admission
of beneficial ownership of all such shares for the stockholders named below.
The
percentage of our share capital before and after this offering is based on
approximately 40.8 million shares of common stock outstanding on April 10,
2008.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
purpose of this prospectus is to permit the selling stockholders and their
pledgees, donees, transferees, or other successors in interest (collectively,
the “selling stockholders”) to offer for sale or to sell shares of common stock
covered by this prospectus at such time and at such prices as each of them,
in
its sole discretion, chooses. We will not receive any of the proceeds from
these
offerings or sales.
The
selling stockholders may sell or distribute some or all of their shares from
time to time through dealers or brokers or other agents or directly to one
or
more purchasers in transactions (which may involve crosses and block
transactions) on the New York Stock Exchange or other exchanges on which our
common stock may be listed for trading, through put or call options transactions
relating to the shares, through short sales of shares, in privately negotiated
transactions (including sales pursuant to pledges) or in the over-the-counter
market, or in brokerage transactions or in a combination of these transactions.
In addition, the selling stockholders may sell or distribute some or all of
their shares of common stock in a transaction involving an underwriter. Such
transactions may be effected by the selling stockholders at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market
prices, at negotiated prices or at fixed prices, which may be changed. Brokers,
dealers or their agents participating in such transactions as agent may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
selling stockholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of the shares,
from the purchaser). Such discounts, concessions or commissions as to a
particular broker, dealer or other agent might be in excess of those customary
in the type of transaction involved.
If
applicable law requires, we will provide a supplement to this prospectus to
disclose the specific shares to be sold, the public offering price of the shares
to be sold, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters employed by the
selling stockholders in connection with such sale and any applicable commissions
or discounts with respect to a particular offer.
If
underwriters are used in the sale, the offered securities will be acquired
by
the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may resell the
securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions,
at a
fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of
sale.
The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject
to certain conditions. Unless indicated in an accompanying prospectus
supplement, the underwriters must purchase all the securities offered if any
of
the securities are purchased.
The
selling stockholders and any such brokers, dealers or other agents that
participate in such distribution may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and any discounts,
commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers or other agents
might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. Any underwriters or agents will be identified and their
compensation described in an accompanying prospectus supplement.
We
may
have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them
against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act, or to contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers
or
agents may be required to make.
In
connection with the offer and sale of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders, various state securities laws and regulations require that any
such offer and sale should be made only through the use of a broker-dealer
registered as such in any state where a selling stockholder engages such
broker-dealer and in any state where such broker-dealer intends to offer and
sell shares.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged
in a
distribution of the shares of common stock offered hereby may not simultaneously
engage in market activities with respect to common stock for the applicable
period under Regulation M prior to the commencement of such distribution.
In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including
Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of
purchases and sale of any of the shares by the selling stockholders. All of
the
foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby.
We
will
pay all expenses of the registration of the offered securities, including SEC
filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws.
The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and selling
commissions. The selling stockholders will be indemnified by us against certain
civil liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
The
selling stockholders will indemnify us against certain civil liabilities,
including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
INDEMNIFICATION
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that the Company, to the full extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. It further provides that 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 Company 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 Company as authorized thereby.
Our
bylaws provide the Company with the power to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents or any person serving at the Company’s request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the
opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in
the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for us by
McCarter & English, LLP.

consolidated financial statements of Hill International, Inc. at December 31,

15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our
certificate of incorporation provides that the Company, to the full extent
permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended
from time to time, shall indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant
thereto. It further provides that 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 Company 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 Company as authorized thereby.
Our
bylaws provide the Company with the power to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents or any person serving at the Company’s request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware
law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to the Registrant’s directors, officers, and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment 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 Registrant 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.

Item
17. Undertakings.
(A) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file,
during the period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide
offering
thereof.
(3) To
remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(B) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant
to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide
offering
thereof.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies
that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for
