Streicher
Mobile Fueling, Inc.
We
provide commercial mobile and bulk fueling; integrated out-sourced fuel
management; packaging, distribution and sale of lubricants and chemicals;
transportation logistics and emergency response services. Our fleet of custom
specialized tank wagons, tractor-trailer transports, box trucks and customized
flatbed vehicles delivers diesel fuel and gasoline to customers’ locations on a
regularly scheduled or as needed basis, refueling vehicles and equipment,
re-supplying fixed-site and temporary bulk storage tanks, and emergency power
generation systems; and distributes a wide variety of specialized petroleum
products, lubricants and chemicals to refineries, manufacturers and other
industrial customers. In addition, our fleet of special duty
tractor-trailer units provides heavy and ultra-heavy haul transportation
logistics services over short and long distances to customers requiring the
movement of over-sized and/or over-weight equipment and heavy manufactured
products. At June 30, 2006, we were conducting operations in Alabama,
California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
In
February 2005, we acquired substantially all of the assets and business
operations of Shank C&E Investments, L.L.C. (“Shank Services”) a Houston,
Texas based provider of commercial fuel, petroleum lubricants distribution
and
sales and heavy haul transportation services. Shank Services, which conducts
its
operations through our subsidiary, SMF Services, Inc., generates revenues from
the sale of commercial fuel, petroleum lubricants and heavy haul operations.
On
October 1, 2005, we acquired all of the stock of H & W Petroleum
Company, Inc. (“H & W”), a Houston, Texas based marketer and distributor of
lubricants, commercial fuels and petroleum products. Immediately prior to the
consummation of this transaction, H & W acquired the operating assets of
Harkrider Distributing Company, Incorporated (“Harkrider”), a Houston based
marketer and distributor of dry cleaning solvents, chemicals and petroleum
products, which was related to H & W through some common shareholder
ownership. In addition to providing service to the greater Houston metropolitan
area, the combined H & W and Harkrider operations also serve the Dallas/Fort
Worth, Freeport, Longview, Lufkin, San Antonio, Beaumont and Waco markets in
Texas.
We
are a
Florida corporation. Our principal executive office is located at 200 West
Cypress Creek Road, Suite 400, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33309, and our phone
number is (954) 308-4200.
The
Offering
We
are
registering 1,057,283 short term warrants to purchase common stock and 1,057,283
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants, to be offered
for sale by certain of our shareholders.
The
selling shareholders purchased the warrants in a private placement completed
on
June 30, 2006. We relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in connection with the
private placement.
Use
of Proceeds
We
will
not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares or the warrants
by
the selling shareholders. The exercise price of the warrants can be paid only
by
an exchange of the outstanding principal, interest and pre-payment penalty
on
promissory notes previously issued by us on August 29, 2003 and January 25,
2005.
You
should carefully read and consider the following factors and other information
included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before investing in
our
common stock.
No
Assurances of Future Profitability; Losses from Operations; Need for
Capital.
We
incurred net losses for the fiscal quarter and nine-month period ended March
31,
2006, as well as for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. In order
to
earn profits in the future, we need to increase volumes at profitable margins,
control costs, fully integrate acquisitions and generate sufficient cash flow
to
support working capital and debt service requirements. Our most recent losses
may be attributed to substantial increases in our sales, general and
administrative (“SG&A”) expense, reflecting our continued spending on
development of a new corporate infrastructure with capability to support our
current and future subsidiary companies, higher interest expense attributable
to
financing of recent acquisitions, and depressed demand for our products and
services and increased operating costs caused by the sudden and dramatic surge
in petroleum prices. While we believe that the completion of the infrastructure
development project will lead to reduced SG&A expense and that the potential
conversion of outstanding debt by the exercise of these short term warrants
could improve our earnings in the future, there is no assurance that our
profitability will improve in the near future. Anticipated non-cash charges
of
approximately $500,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2006 from the deemed
conversion of the promissory notes by the issuance of the short term warrants,
continuing infrastructure development costs and various negative economic
conditions resulting from higher petroleum prices could adversely affect the
Company’s short term financial results. For these and other reasons, there is
also no assurance that we will be unable to accomplish our business plan or
to
raise capital at terms which are acceptable to us in order to support working
capital requirements or debt service shortfalls during any business downturns.
In addition, adverse market conditions, negative customer reactions to new
or
existing marketing strategies, or depressed economic conditions generally may
cause net margin not to improve further or even to diminish.
Trading
Market for SMF Group’s Common Stock. During
the nine months ended March 31, 2006, our common stock frequently traded in
large daily volumes and at wide price variances. This volatility could make
it
difficult for our shareholders to sell shares at a predictable price or at
specific times. In addition, there may be volatility in the market price of
the
common stock due to factors beyond our control. Quarterly operating results,
changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or other
developments affecting us could cause the market price of our common stock
to
fluctuate.
Growth
Dependent Upon Future Expansion; Risks Associated With Expansion into New
Markets. We
intend
to continue to expand through the acquisition of existing companies or their
operations and customer bases. Our growth will also depend upon the ability
to
achieve greater penetration in existing markets and to successfully enter new
markets in both additional major and secondary metropolitan areas. Market
penetration and expansion into new markets will largely be dependent on our
ability to demonstrate the benefits of our services and products to potential
new customers; successfully establish and operate new locations; hire, train and
retain qualified management, operating, marketing and sales personnel; finance
capital expenditures and working capital requirements; secure reliable sources
of product supply on a timely basis and on commercially acceptable credit terms;
and successfully manage growth by effectively supervising operations,
controlling costs and maintaining appropriate quality controls. There can be
no
assurance that we will be able to successfully expand our operations into new
markets.
Acquisition
Availability; Integrating Acquisitions. Our
future growth strategy involves the acquisition of businesses engaged in
wholesale commercial bulk and mobile fueling, marketers and distributors of
petroleum lubricants and chemicals and transportation logistics services
businesses in existing and new markets. On February 18, 2005, we acquired
substantially all of the assets and business operations of Shank Services,
a
Houston, Texas based provider of commercial fuel, petroleum lubricants
distribution and sales, and heavy and ultra-heavy haul transportation services.
On October 1, 2005, we acquired the stock of H & W, a Houston based
distributor of lubricants, fuels, other petroleum products and chemicals. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to fully integrate these operations
with our pre-existing operations or that we will identify or be in a position
to
make suitable acquisitions on acceptable terms in the future. Similarly, there
is no certainty that we will be able to obtain acceptable financing for such
acquisitions or that any future acquisitions made will be effectively and
profitably integrated into our operations. In particular, to finance future
acquisitions, we believe that it will be important for us to control our
interest expense, by the issuance of equity securities or otherwise, since
that
expense increased significantly as a result of the debt financing used for
our
recent acquisitions. All acquisitions involve risks that could adversely affect
our operating results, including management commitment; integration of the
operations and personnel of the acquired business; future write downs of
acquired intangible assets; and the failure to retain key personnel of the
acquired business.
Management
of Growth; Accounting and Information Technology Systems Implementation.
Our
future growth strategy is dependent on effective operational, financial and
other internal systems, and the ability to attract, train, motivate, manage
and
retain our employees. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, results
of
operations will be adversely affected. In particular, the results of operations
will be influenced by the redesign and implementation of our accounting and
information technology systems to reduce operating costs and improve our ability
to effectively manage our business and integrate acquisitions. While we are
optimistic about this project based on preliminary results, there can be no
assurance that such redesign and implementation will be completed as planned,
or
that it will have the intended results.
Dependence
on Key Personnel.
Our
future success will be largely dependent on the continued services and efforts
of Richard E. Gathright, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and on
other
key executive personnel. The loss of the services of Mr. Gathright or other
executive personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and
prospects. Our success and plans for future growth will also depend on our
ability to attract and retain additional qualified management, operating,
marketing, sales and financial personnel. There can be no assurance that we
will
be able to hire or retain such personnel on terms satisfactory to us. While
we
have recently extended Mr. Gathright’s existing employment agreement so that it
now expires February 28, 2007, and automatically renews each year for additional
one year terms unless either party gives prior notice of an intent to terminate,
his long term future employment is not guaranteed by such agreement. We have
also entered into written employment agreements with certain other key executive
personnel.
Fuel
Pricing and Supply Availability; Effect on
Profitability.
Diesel
fuel and gasoline are commodities which are refined and distributed by numerous
sources. We purchase the fuel delivered to our customers from multiple suppliers
at daily market prices and in some cases qualify for certain discounts. We
monitor fuel prices and trends in each of our service markets on a daily basis
and seek to purchase our supply at the lowest prices and under the most
favorable terms. For our fueling operations, commodity price risk is mitigated
since we purchase and deliver our fuel supply daily and generally utilize
cost-plus pricing when billing our customers. If we cannot continue to utilize
cost-plus pricing when billing our customers, margins would likely decrease
and
losses could be incurred. We have not engaged in derivatives or futures trading
to hedge fuel price movements. In addition, diesel fuel and gasoline may be
subject to supply interruption due to a number of factors, including natural
disasters, refinery and/or pipeline outages and labor disruptions. The reduction
of available supplies could impact our ability to provide commercial bulk and
mobile fueling, and emergency response services and impact profitability. While
we maintained our record of obtaining supplies for our customers and for
emergency work during difficult conditions encountered in the extraordinary
hurricane season of 2005, particularly Hurricane Katrina and the resulting
massive flooding in the New Orleans area, there is no assurance that this record
will continue in the future or that our business will not be adversely affected
by supply problems in the future.
Dependence
on Suppliers.
While
multiple suppliers of diesel fuel and gasoline are typically available to our
wholesale commercial bulk and mobile fueling operations, our lubricants and
chemicals operations are more dependent on our relationships with a limited
number of suppliers. While there can be no assurance that our relationship
with
any supplier of lubricants or chemicals will not change, we believe that, if
it
became necessary to change suppliers or to alter the nature or extent of our
relationship with one or more of these suppliers, we have the ability to do
so
without a material adverse effect on our lubricants and chemicals operations.
Risks
Associated with Customer Concentration; Absence of Written Agreements.
Although
we provide services to numerous customers, a significant portion of our revenue
is generated from a few of our larger customers. While we have formal, length
of
service written contracts with some of these larger customers, such agreements
are not customary in our business and have not been entered into by us with
the
majority of our customers. As a result, most of our customers can terminate
their business with us at any time and for any reason, and we can similarly
discontinue providing products or services to any of those customers. We may
elect to discontinue service to a customer if changes in the service conditions
or other factors cause us not to meet our minimum level of margins and rates,
and the pricing or delivery arrangements cannot be re-negotiated. As a result
of
this customer concentration and the limited number of written agreements, our
business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected if one or more of our large customers were lost or if we
were
to experience a high rate of service terminations.
Competition.
In our
commercial mobile fueling operations, we compete with other mobile fueling
service providers, including several regional companies and numerous small,
independent operators who provide these services. We also compete with retail
marketing where fleet operators have the option of fueling their own equipment
at retail stations and other third-party service locations such as card lock
facilities. Our heavy haul and ultra-heavy haul transportation business competes
with other providers, including larger regional companies and smaller local
companies. Our lubricants, chemicals and wholesale commercial fuel distribution
operations compete with numerous other large and small providers of similar
services. Our ability to compete is dependent on numerous factors, including
price, delivery dependability, credit terms, service locations and the quality
of the customer service we provide, including reporting and invoicing services.
In the past our business has been adversely affected by below cost price cutting
by competitors, including recent actions by a competitor in California. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete successfully
as
a result of these or other factors.
Operating
Risks May Not Be Covered by Insurance.
The bulk
of our operations are subject to the operating hazards and risks normally
incidental to handling, storing and transporting diesel fuel, gasoline,
petroleum lubricants and chemicals, almost all of which are classified as
hazardous materials. We maintain insurance policies in amounts and with
coverages and deductibles we believe are reasonable and prudent. However, there
can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to protect us from
liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal and property
damage arising in the ordinary course of business, that we will be able to
maintain acceptable levels of insurance or that insurance will be available
at
economical prices.
Changes
in Environmental Requirements.
We hope
to generate future business for our mobile fueling operations by converting
fleet operators who are currently utilizing underground fuel storage tanks
for
their fueling needs to commercial mobile fueling. The owners of underground
fuel
storage tanks are being required to remove or retrofit those tanks to comply
with technical regulatory requirements pertaining to their construction and
operation. If other more economical means of compliance are developed or adopted
by owners of underground storage tanks, the opportunity to market our services
to these owners may be adversely affected. Correspondingly, new or changed
environmental regulations could also affect the costs involved in providing
mobile fueling services or the sale of petroleum lubricants and
chemicals.
Governmental
Regulation. Our
operations are affected by numerous federal, state and local laws, regulations
and ordinances, including those relating to protection of the environment and
worker safety. Various federal, state and local agencies have broad powers
under
these laws, regulations and ordinances. In particular, the operation of our
commercial mobile fueling fleet and its transportation of diesel fuel and
gasoline are subject to extensive regulation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation (“DOT”) under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (“FMCSA”) and
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act (“HMTA”). We are subject to
regulatory and legislative changes that can affect the economics of the industry
by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for,
and
the cost of providing, its services. In addition, we depend on the supply of
diesel fuel, gasoline, petroleum based lubricants and chemicals from the oil
and
gas industry so that we are affected by changing taxes, price controls and
other
laws and regulations generally relating to the oil and gas industry. We cannot
determine the extent to which our future operations and earnings may be affected
by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations.
The
technical requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly
expensive, complex and stringent. These laws may impose penalties or sanctions
for damages to natural resources or threats to public health and safety. Such
laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for the conduct of or
conditions caused by others, or for acts of which we were in compliance with
all
applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. Sanctions for
noncompliance may include revocation of permits, corrective action orders,
administrative or civil penalties and criminal prosecution. Certain
environmental laws provide for joint and several liability for remediation
of
spills and releases of hazardous substances. In addition, we may be subject
to
claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged
exposure to hazardous substances, as well as damage to natural
resources.
Although
we believe that we are in substantial compliance with existing laws and
regulations, there can be no assurance that substantial costs for compliance
will not be incurred in the future. There could be an adverse affect upon our
operations if there were any substantial violations of these rules and
regulations. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as stricter
environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, could
result in additional, presently unquantifiable, costs or liabilities to
us.
The
compliance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have placed an
increasing time burden on our personnel and significantly increased the costs
with being a publicly traded company. We cannot determine the future costs
of
compliance with this Act; whether our compliance efforts will satisfy its
compliance requirements; or whether, or to the extent which, our future
operations or earnings may be affected by the Act’s impact on our business
operations.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
General
As
used
in this prospectus, the term “selling shareholders” includes the pledgees,
donees, transferees and their successors in interest that receive the shares
as
a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale related
transfer.
Transactions.
The
selling shareholders may offer and sell their shares of common stock in one
or
more of the following transactions:
|
· |
on
the NASDAQ Capital Market,
|
|
· |
in
the over-the-counter market,
|
|
· |
in
privately negotiated transactions,
|
|
· |
for
settlement of short sales, or through long sales, options or transactions
involving cross or block trades,
|
|
· |
by
pledges to secure debts and other obligations,
or
|
|
· |
in
a combination of any of these
transactions.
|
Prices.
The
selling shareholders may sell their shares of common stock at any of the
following prices:
|
· |
fixed
prices which may be changed,
|
|
· |
market
prices prevailing at the time of
sale,
|
|
· |
prices
related to prevailing market prices,
or
|
|
· |
privately
negotiated prices.
|
Direct
Sales; Agents, Dealers and Underwriters.
The
selling shareholders may effect transactions by selling their shares of common
stock in any of the following ways:
|
· |
directly
to purchasers, or
|
|
· |
to
or through agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters designated from
time
to time.
|
Agents,
dealers or underwriters may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or
the
purchasers of shares for whom they act as agent or to whom they sell as
principals, or both. The selling shareholders and any agents, dealers or
underwriters that act in connection with the sale of shares might be deemed
to
be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and
any discount or commission received by them and any profit on the resale of
shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions
under the Securities Act. Because the selling shareholders might be deemed
to be
underwriters, the selling shareholders will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Each
selling shareholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange
Act
and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including
Regulation M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales
of shares of our common stock by the selling shareholders.
In
addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus.
Supplements.
To the
extent required, we will set forth in a supplement to this prospectus filed
with
the SEC the number of shares to be sold, the purchase price and public offering
price, the name or names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable
commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offering. In particular,
upon being notified by a selling shareholder that a donee or pledgee intends
to
sell more than 500 shares, we will file a supplement to this
prospectus.
State
Securities Law.
Under
the securities laws of some states, the selling shareholders may only sell
the
shares in those states through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in some states the selling shareholders may not sell the shares unless
they have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption
from registration or qualification is available and is satisfied.
Expenses;
Indemnification.
We will
receive up to $2,685,499 upon exercise of the warrants by the selling
shareholders, although the exercise price of the warrants can be paid only
by an
exchange of the outstanding principal, interest and pre-payment penalty on
promissory notes previously issued by us on August 29, 2003 and January 25,
2005. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock
sold by the selling shareholders. We will bear all expenses related to the
registration of this offering but will not pay for any underwriting commissions,
fees or discounts, if any. We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders
against some civil liabilities, including some liabilities which may arise
under
the Securities Act.

validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon by

15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Florida
Business Corporation Act.
Section
607.0850 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”) generally permits
the Registrant to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents
who are subject to any third-party actions because of their service to the
Registrant if such persons acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant. If
the proceeding is a criminal one, such person must also have had no reasonable
cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Registrant may
indemnify its directors, officers, employees or other agents who are subject
to
derivative actions against expenses and amounts paid in settlement which do
not
exceed, in the judgment of the board of directors, the estimated expense of
litigating the proceeding to conclusion, actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such proceeding, if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in,
or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant. To the extent that a
director, officer, employee or other agent is successful on the merits or
otherwise in defense of a third-party or derivative action, such person will
be
indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith. This Section also permits a corporation further to indemnify such
persons by other means unless a judgment or other final adjudication establishes
that such person’s actions or omissions which were material to the cause of
action constitute (1) a crime (unless such person had reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it
unlawful), (2) a transaction from which he derived an improper personal
benefit, (3) a transaction in violation of Section 607.0834 of the
FBCA (unlawful distributions to shareholders), or (4) willful misconduct or
a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding
by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or
in a
proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
Furthermore,
Section 607.0831 of the FBCA provides, in general, that no director shall
be personally liable for monetary damages to the Registrant or any other person
for any statement, vote, decision, or failure to act, regarding corporate
management or policy, unless: (a) the director breached or failed to
perform his duties as a director; and (b) the director’s breach of, or
failure to perform, those duties constitutes (i) a violation of criminal
law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful
or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (ii) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either
directly or indirectly, (iii) a circumstance under which the liability
provisions of Section 607.0834 of the FBCA are applicable, (iv) in a
proceeding by or in the right of the Registrant to procure a judgment in its
favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best
interest of the Registrant, or willful misconduct, or (v) in a proceeding
by or in the right of someone other than the Registrant or a shareholder,
recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with
malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of
human rights, safety, or property. The term “recklessness,” as used above, means
the action, or omission to act, in conscious disregard of a risk:
(a) known, or so obvious that it should have been known, to the directors;
and (b) known to the director, or so obvious that it should have been
known, to be so great as to make it highly probable that harm would follow
from
such action or omission.
Insurance.
In
addition to the foregoing, the Registrant carries insurance permitted by the
laws of Florida on behalf of directors, officers, employees or agents which
may
cover, among other things, liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.

Item
17. Undertakings
|
(a) |
The
undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes:
|
|
(1) |
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
|
(i) To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding
the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration statement.
(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) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant
to
Section 13 or 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 deemed a part
of and included in the registration statement.
(2) That,
for
the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) To
remove
from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) 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.
(b) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company’s annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is
incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to
be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered thereby, and
the
offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies
that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for
filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of
Fort
Lauderdale, State of Florida, on July 28, 2006.
