ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

          This prospectus is a part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer any combination of the securities described in this prospectus up to a total dollar amount of $500,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of one or more businesses. We may issue these securities in connection with our acquisition of the businesses, assets or securities of other companies, whether by purchase, merger, or any other form of business combination. The amount and type of consideration we will offer and the other specific terms of each acquisition will be determined by negotiations with the owners or the persons who control the businesses, assets or securities we may acquire. We may structure business acquisitions in a variety of ways, including acquiring stock, other equity interests or assets of the acquired businesses, merging the acquired businesses with us or one of our subsidiaries or acquiring the acquired businesses through one of our subsidiaries. We expect that the price of the securities we issue will be related to their market price, either when we tentatively or finally agree to the particular terms of the acquisition, when we issue the securities, when the acquisition is completed or during some other negotiated period. We may issue securities at fixed offering prices, which may be changed, or at other negotiated prices. If necessary, we may be required to provide you further information by means of a post-effective amendment

i

to the registration statement or a supplement to this prospectus once we know the actual information concerning a specific acquisition.

          This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we issue securities under this shelf registration, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including all documents incorporated herein by reference, together with additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

          With our consent, persons who have received or will receive securities under this prospectus in connection with acquisitions may use this prospectus to sell such securities at a later date. We refer to these persons in the prospectus as selling security holders. Please see the information described under the heading “Reselling Securities” to find out more information about resales of the securities by the selling security holders.

          You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus we may authorize to be delivered to you. Neither we nor any selling security holders has provided, and neither we nor any selling security holders has authorized anyone else to provide, you with different or additional information. We are not making an offer of securities in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this prospectus or the filing date of any document incorporated by reference, regardless of its time of delivery, and you should not consider any information in this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference herein to be investment, legal or tax advice. We encourage you to consult your own counsel, accountant and other advisors for legal, tax, business, financial and related advice regarding an investment in our securities.

          As used in this prospectus, “Griffon,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Griffon Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless stated otherwise or the context requires otherwise.

RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

          The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the last five fiscal years and the six months ended March 31, 2012. We have not included a ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends because we had no preferred stock outstanding.

											Six months ended March 31,
	Year ended September 30,

USE OF PROCEEDS

          Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not expect to receive proceeds from the offering of any securities pursuant to this prospectus other than the businesses, assets or securities acquired in a business combination transaction. When this prospectus is used by a selling security holder in a public reoffering or resale of securities acquired pursuant to this prospectus, we will usually not receive any proceeds from such sale by the selling security holder.

4

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

          We have authority to issue 85,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.25 per share. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately 61,820,463 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 6,166,535 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

General

          Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote. The vote of the holders of a majority of the stock represented at a meeting at which a quorum is present is generally required to take stockholder action, unless a greater vote is required by law. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any election and there is no cumulative voting of shares.

          Holders of shares of our common stock have no preemptive rights. Subject to the applicable laws and the rights of the holders of preferred stock, holders of shares of common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. The common stock is not entitled to any sinking fund, redemption or conversion provisions. Upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets remaining after the payment of all creditors and liquidation preferences of preferred stock. The outstanding shares of common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Anti-Takeover Considerations

          Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended by-laws contain a number of provisions that may have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring us.

Classified Board of Directors

          Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended by-laws divide our board of directors into three classes, as nearly equal in size as possible, with staggered three year terms, and provide that:

• directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote; and

• any vacancy on our board of directors may only be filled by vote of a majority of the directors then in office.

Stockholder Action, Special Meeting of Stockholders

          Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended by-laws eliminate the ability of our stockholders to act by written consent. Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended by-laws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only at the written request of stockholders owning at least 66 2/3% of the entire voting power of our capital stock.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Directors Nominations

          Our amended by-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not

5

within 25 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to stockholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Our amended by-laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Business Combinations and Limitations in our Certificate of Incorporation

          Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that in the event that it is proposed that we enter into a merger or consolidation with any other corporation and such other corporation or its affiliates singly or in the aggregate own or control, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the outstanding voting power of our capital stock, or that we sell substantially all of our assets or business to such other corporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of 50% or more of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our capital stock shall be required for the approval of any such proposal. However, such requirements shall not apply to any such merger, consolidation or sale of assets or business that was approved by resolutions of our board of directors prior to the acquisition of the ownership or control of 5% of our outstanding shares of capital stock by such other corporation or its affiliates, nor shall it apply to any such merger, consolidation or sale of assets or business between us and another corporation, 50% or more of the total voting power of which is owned by us. An “affiliate” is any person (including a corporation, partnership, trust, estate or individual) who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified; “control’ means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

Amendments; Supermajority Vote Requirements

          Our restated certificate of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of our voting stock to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, including those provisions relating to the amendment of the business combination provisions, classified board of directors, action by written consent and the ability of stockholders to call special meetings.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Law

          Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits certain “business combination” transactions between a Delaware corporation and any “interested stockholder” owning 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock for a period of three years after the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

• the board of directors approves, prior to the date, either the proposed business combination or the proposed acquisition of stock that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

• upon consummation of the transaction in which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of those shares of the voting stock of the corporation that are not held by the directors, officers or certain employee stock plans; or

• on or subsequent to the date on which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the business combination with the interested stockholder is approved by the board of directors and also approved at a stockholder’s meeting by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the corporation’s voting stock other than shares held by the interested stockholder.

          Under Delaware law, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.

          Although a corporation may elect not to be governed by Section 203, we have made no such election.

6

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

          We have authority to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.25 per share. As of March 31, 2012, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

General

          Under our restated certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized generally without stockholder approval to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time, in one or more classes or series. Prior to issuance of shares of each class or series, our Board of Directors is required by Delaware law to adopt resolutions and file a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The certificate of designation fixes for each class or series the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each class or series. Any shares of preferred stock will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable.

          For any series of preferred stock that we may issue, our Board of Directors will determine and the prospectus supplement relating to such series will describe:

• the designation and number of shares of such series;

• the rate and time at which, and the preferences and conditions under which, any dividends will be paid on shares of such series, as well as whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative and participating or non-participating;

• any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange;

• any provisions relating to convertibility or exchangeability of shares of such series and the computation of the conversion or exchange price;

• the rights and preferences, if any, of holders of shares of such series upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

• the voting powers, if any, of the holders of shares of such series;

• any provisions relating to the redemption of shares of such series;

• any limitations on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions on, or acquire or redeem, other securities while shares of such series are outstanding;

• the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for shares of such series;

• the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for shares of such series;

• whether shares of such series will be represented by depositary shares;

• any conditions or restrictions on our ability to issue additional shares of such series or other securities while shares of such series are outstanding;

• if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. Federal income tax considerations; and

• any other relative power, preferences and participating, optional or special rights of shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

7

          Delaware law provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class (or, in some cases, as a series) on an amendment to our restated certificate of incorporation if the amendment would change the par value or, unless the restated certificate of incorporation then in effect provided otherwise, the number of authorized shares of such class or change the powers, preferences or special rights of such class or series so as to adversely affect the class or series, as the case may be. This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.

          Our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. In addition, our Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for holders of our common stock or which holders might believe to be in their best interest.

Ranking

          Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the preferred stock will rank, with respect to dividends and upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up:

• senior to all classes or series of our common stock and to all of our equity securities ranking junior to the preferred stock;

• on a parity with all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the equity securities rank on a parity with the preferred stock; and

• junior to all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the equity securities rank senior to the preferred stock.

          The term “equity securities” does not include convertible debt securities.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

          The transfer agent and registrar for any series or class of preferred stock will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

8

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

          The following is a general description of the terms of the depositary shares we may issue from time to time unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement. Particular terms of any depositary shares we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such depositary shares.

General

          We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, rather than single shares of preferred stock (to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of preferred stock). In the event we elect to do so, depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares may be issued.

          The shares of any class or series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement among us, a depositary selected by us and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be a bank or trust company having such criteria as we deem necessary or appropriate. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by such depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights.

          The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of the related class or series of preferred shares in accordance with the terms of the offering described in the related prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

          The following is a general description of the terms of the warrants we may issue from time to time unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement. Particular terms of any warrants we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such warrants.

General Terms

          We may issue warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities or units. Warrants may be issued independently or together with other securities and may be attached or separate from such securities. We will issue each series of warrants under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency for or with holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

          A prospectus supplement will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants we may issue, including the following:

• the title and aggregate number of the warrants;

• the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued and the currency or currencies in which the price of the warrants may be payable;

• if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;

• in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant;

• in the case of warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares or units, the number of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, depositary shares or units, as the case may be, purchasable upon exercise of one warrant;

• the date on which the right to exercise the warrants shall commence and the date on which such right will expire (subject to any extension);

• whether the warrants will be issued in registered form or bearer form;

• if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants which may be exercised at any one time;

• if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;

• if applicable, the procedures for adjusting the exercise price and number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares purchasable upon the exercise of each warrant upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits, combinations, subdivisions or reclassifications of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares;

• the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;

• the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;

10

• information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;

• the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;

• if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. Federal income tax considerations; and

• any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

          We and the warrant agent may amend or supplement the warrant agreement for a series of warrants without the consent of the holders of the warrants issued thereunder to effect changes that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the warrants and that do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.

Exercise of Warrants

          Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase such common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares or units at the exercise price or such principal amount of debt securities as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. Warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement beginning on the date specified therein and continuing until the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

          Upon receipt of payment and a warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

          Prior to exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including, in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive principal, premium, if any, or interest payments, on the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture or, in the case of warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise any voting rights.

Governing Law

          The warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

11

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

          The following is a general description of the terms of the rights we may issue from time to time unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement. Particular terms of any rights we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such rights.

General

          We may issue rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, debt securities or units. Rights may be issued independently or together with other securities and may or may not be transferable by the person purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering to our stockholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting, backstop or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. In connection with a rights offering to our stockholders, we would distribute certificates evidencing the rights and a prospectus supplement to our stockholders on or about the record date that we set for receiving rights in such rights offering.

          The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any rights we may issue, including the following:

• the title and aggregate number of the rights;

• the subscription price or a formula for the determination of the subscription price for the rights and the currency or currencies in which the subscription price may be payable;

• if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the rights are issued and the number of rights issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;

• the number or a formula for the determination of the number of the rights issued to each stockholder;

• the extent to which the rights are transferable;

• in the case of rights to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one right;

• in the case of rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares or units, the number of shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock, depositary shares or units, as the case may be, purchasable upon exercise of one right;

• the date on which the right to exercise the rights would commence, and the date on which the rights shall expire (subject to any extension);

• if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the rights which may be exercised at any one time;

• the extent to which such rights include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;

• if applicable, the procedures for adjusting the exercise price and number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares purchasable upon the exercise of each right upon the

12

	occurrence of certain events, including stock splits, reverse stock splits, combinations, subdivisions or reclassifications of common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares;
•	the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the rights;
•	the terms of any rights to redeem or call the rights;
•	information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any;
•	the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the rights;
•	if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting, backstop or other purchase arrangement that we may enter into in connection with the rights offering;
•	if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. Federal income tax considerations; and
•	any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the rights.

Exercise of Rights

          Each right will entitle the holder to purchase such principal amount of securities or shares of stock at the subscription price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. Rights may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement beginning on the date specified therein and continuing until the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the rights offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised rights will become void.

          Upon receipt of payment and a subscription certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the subscription agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the rights represented by such subscription certificate are exercised, a new subscription certificate will be issued for the remaining rights. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the rights may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for rights.

          We may determine to offer any unsubscribed offered securities directly to stockholders, persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting, backstop or other arrangements, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

          Prior to exercising their rights, holders of rights will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon subscription, including, in the case of rights to purchase debt securities, the right to receive principal, premium, if any, or interest payments, on the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture or, in the case of rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock or depositary shares, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise any voting rights.

Governing Law

          The rights and subscription certificates will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware.

13

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

          The following is a general description of the terms of debt securities we may issue from time to time unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement. Particular terms of any debt securities we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

          As required by Federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, any debt securities we issue will be governed by a document called an “indenture.” An indenture is a contract between us and a financial institution acting as trustee on behalf of the holders of the debt securities, and is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce holders’ rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on holders’ behalf, described in the second paragraph under “Description of Debt Securities—Events of Default.” Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties, such as sending interest and principal payments to holders.

          Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of any debt securities we may issue or the indenture governing any such debt securities. Particular terms of any debt securities we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities, and we urge you to read the applicable indenture, which will be filed with the SEC at the time of any offering of debt securities, because it, and not this description, will define the rights of holders of such debt securities.

          A prospectus supplement will describe the particular terms of any series of debt securities we may issue, including the following:

• the designation or title of the series of debt securities;

• the total principal amount of the series of debt securities, the denominations in which the offered debt securities will be issued and whether the offering may be reopened for additional securities of that series and on what terms;

• the percentage of the principal amount at which the series of debt securities will be offered;

• the date or dates on which principal will be payable;

• the rate or rates (which may be either fixed or variable) and/or the method of determining such rate or rates of interest, if any;

• the date or dates from which any interest will accrue, or the method of determining such date or dates, and the date or dates on which any interest will be payable;

• the terms for redemption, extension or early repayment, if any;

• the currencies in which the series of debt securities are issued and payable;

• whether the amount of payments of principal, interest or premium, if any, on a series of debt securities will be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method and how these amounts will be determined;

• the place or places of payment, transfer, conversion and/or exchange of the debt securities;

• the provision for any sinking fund;

• any restrictive covenants;

14

• events of default;

• whether the series of debt securities are issuable in certificated form;

• any provisions for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance;

• whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem the debt securities rather than pay the additional amounts (and the terms of this option);

• any provisions for convertibility or exchangeability of the debt securities into or for any other securities;

• whether the debt securities are subject to subordination and the terms of such subordination;

• the listing, if any, on a securities exchange;

• if applicable, a discussion of certain U.S. Federal income tax considerations, including those related to original issue discount, if applicable; and

• any other terms.

          The debt securities may be secured or unsecured obligations. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, principal, interest and premium, if any, will be paid by us in immediately available funds.

General

          The indenture may provide that any debt securities proposed to be sold under this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities (“offered debt securities”) and any debt securities issuable upon the exercise of warrants or upon conversion or exchange of other offered securities (“underlying debt securities”) may be issued under the indenture in one or more series.

          For purposes of this prospectus, any reference to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, debt securities will include additional amounts if required by the terms of the debt securities.

          Debt securities issued under an indenture, when a single trustee is acting for all debt securities issued under the indenture, are called the “indenture securities.” The indenture may also provide that there may be more than one trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or more different series of securities issued thereunder. See “Description of Debt Securities—Resignation of Trustee” below. At a time when two or more trustees are acting under an indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the term “indenture securities” means the one or more series of debt securities with respect to which each respective trustee is acting. In the event that there is more than one trustee under an indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee described in this prospectus will extend only to the one or more series of indenture securities for which it is trustee. If two or more trustees are acting under an indenture, then the indenture securities for which each trustee is acting would be treated as if issued under separate indentures.

          We refer you to the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities we may issue from time to time for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or covenants that are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection, that will be applicable with respect to such debt securities.

          We have the ability to issue indenture securities with terms different from those of indenture securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, to reopen a previous issue of a series of indenture securities and issue additional indenture securities of that series unless the reopening was restricted when that series was created.

15

Conversion and Exchange

          If any debt securities are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, the related prospectus supplement will explain the terms and conditions of the conversion or exchange, including the conversion price or exchange ratio (or the calculation method), the conversion or exchange period (or how the period will be determined), if conversion or exchange will be mandatory or at the option of the holder or us, provisions for adjusting the conversion price or the exchange ratio and provisions affecting conversion or exchange in the event of the redemption of the underlying debt securities. These terms may also include provisions under which the number or amount of other securities to be received by the holders of the debt securities upon conversion or exchange would be calculated according to the market price of the other securities as of a time stated in the prospectus supplement.

Payment and Paying Agents

          We will pay interest to the person listed in the applicable trustee’s records as the owner of the debt security at the close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if that person no longer owns the debt security on the interest due date. That day, often approximately two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is called the “record date.” Because we will pay all the interest for an interest period to the holders on the record date, holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between themselves the appropriate purchase price. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller based on their respective ownership periods within the particular interest period. This prorated interest amount is called “accrued interest.”

Guarantees

          The payment obligations of Griffon under any series of debt securities may be jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Clopay Building Products Company, Inc., Clopay Plastic Products Company, Inc., Telephonics Corporation, Ames True Temper, Inc. and/or ATT Southern, Inc., each of which is 100% owned by us, subject to restrictions in credit agreements and other agreements to which they may be a party at the time of issuance. If a series of debt securities is so guaranteed, the relevant guarantors will execute a notation of guarantee as further evidence of their guarantee, and the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any such guarantee.

          The obligations of any guarantor under its guarantee of the debt securities will be limited to the maximum amount that will not result in the obligations of the guarantor under its guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law, after giving effect to:

• all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the guarantor; and

• any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect of the obligations of the guarantor under its guarantee.

          The guarantee of any guarantor may be released under certain circumstances. If no default has occurred and is continuing under the relevant indenture, and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the indenture, a guarantor will be unconditionally released and discharged from the guarantee:

• in connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the stock of the guarantor to a person other than us or any of our subsidiaries;

• in connection with the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the guarantor, including by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, to a person other than us or any of our subsidiaries;

• upon the release or discharge of the guarantee of the subsidiary of indebtedness of us and each guarantor which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the debt securities; or

• in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the guarantor, if such liquidation, dissolution or winding-up complies with the provisions of the indenture.

Events of Default

16

          Holders of debt securities of any series will have rights if an Event of Default occurs in respect of the debt securities of such series and is not cured, as described later in this subsection.

          The term “Event of Default” in respect of the debt securities of any series means any of the following:

• we do not pay the principal of, or any premium on, a debt security of the series within five days of its due date;

• we do not pay interest on a debt security of the series within 30 days of its due date;

• we do not deposit any sinking fund payment in respect of debt securities of the series on its due date and we do not cure this default within five days;

• we remain in breach of a covenant in respect of debt securities of the series for 60 days after we receive a written notice of default stating we are in breach. The notice must be sent by either the trustee or holders of at least 33 1/3% of the principal amount of debt securities of the series;

• we file for bankruptcy or certain other events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur; and

• any other Event of Default occurs in respect of debt securities of the series described in the prospectus supplement.

          An Event of Default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an Event of Default for any other series of debt securities issued under the same or any other indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except in the payment of principal, premium or interest, if it considers the withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders.

Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs

          If an Event of Default has occurred and has not been cured or waived, the trustee or the holders of not less than 33 1/3% in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately payable. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be canceled by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series if the default is cured or waived and certain other conditions are satisfied.

          Except in cases of default, where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee typically is not required to take any action under an indenture at the request of any holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability (called an “indemnity”). If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. The trustee may refuse to follow those directions in certain circumstances.

          Before a holder is allowed to bypass the trustee and bring its own lawsuit or other formal legal action or take other steps to enforce its rights or protect its interests relating to any debt securities, the following must occur:

• the holder must give the trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured;

• the holders of at least 33 1/3% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default and must offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action;

17

• the trustee must not have taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity; and

• the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities must not have given the trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice during that 60-day period.

          However, a holder is entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on its debt securities on or after the due date.

          Each year, we will furnish to each trustee a written statement of certain of our officers certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the indenture and the debt securities, or else specifying any default.

Waiver of Default

          The holders of a majority in principal amount of the relevant series of debt securities may waive a default for all such series of debt securities. If this happens, the default will be treated as if it had not occurred. No one can waive a payment default on a holder’s debt security, however, without the holder’s approval.

Merger or Consolidation

          Under the terms of an indenture, we may be permitted to consolidate or merge with another entity. We may also be permitted to sell all or substantially all of our assets to another entity. However, typically we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met:

• if we do not survive such transaction or we convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety, the acquiring company must be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust, or other corporate form, organized under the laws of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, any country comprising the European Union, the United Kingdom or Japan and such company must agree to be legally responsible for our debt securities, and, if not already subject to the jurisdiction of any state of the United States or the District of Columbia, the new company must submit to such jurisdiction for all purposes with respect to the debt securities and appoint an agent for service of process;

• alternatively, we must be the surviving company;

• immediately after the transaction no Event of Default will exist;

• we must deliver certain certificates and documents to the trustee; and

• we must satisfy any other requirements specified in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities.

Modification or Waiver

          There are three types of changes we may make to an indenture and the debt securities issued thereunder.

Changes Requiring Approval

          First, there are changes that we cannot make to debt securities without specific approval of all of the holders. The following is a list of the types of changes that may require specific approval:

• change the stated maturity of the principal of or interest on a debt security;

• reduce any amounts due on a debt security;

18

• reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a security following a default;

• at any time after a change of control has occurred, reduce any premium payable upon a change of control;

• change the place or currency of payment on a debt security (except as otherwise described in the prospectus or prospectus supplement);

• impair the right of holders to sue for payment;

• adversely affect any right to convert or exchange a debt security in accordance with its terms;

• reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to modify or amend the indenture;

• reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or to waive certain defaults;

• modify any other aspect of the provisions of the indenture dealing with supplemental indentures, modification and waiver of past defaults, changes to the quorum or voting requirements or the waiver of certain covenants; and

• change any obligation we have to pay additional amounts.

Changes Not Requiring Approval

          The second type of change does not require any vote by the holders of the debt securities. This type is limited to clarifications and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the outstanding debt securities in any material respect, including the addition of covenants and guarantees. We also do not need any approval to make any change that affects only debt securities to be issued under the indenture after the change takes effect.

Changes Requiring Majority Approval

          Any other change to the indenture and the debt securities may require the following approval:

• if the change affects only one series of debt securities, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of that series; and

• if the change affects more than one series of debt securities issued under the same indenture, it must be approved by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series affected by the change, with all affected series voting together as one class for this purpose.

          In each case, the required approval must be given by written consent.

          The holders of a majority in principal amount of all of the series of debt securities issued under an indenture, voting together as one class for this purpose, may waive our compliance obligations with respect to some of our covenants in that indenture. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or of any of the matters covered by the bullet points included above under “Description of Debt Securities—Modification or Waiver—Changes Requiring Approval.”

Further Details Concerning Voting

19

          When taking a vote, we expect to use the following rules to decide how much principal to attribute to a debt security:

• for original issue discount securities, we will use the principal amount that would be due and payable on the voting date if the maturity of these debt securities were accelerated to that date because of a default;

• for debt securities whose principal amount is not known (for example, because it is based on an index), we will use a special rule for that debt security described in the related prospectus supplement; and

• for debt securities denominated in one or more foreign currencies, we will use the U.S. dollar equivalent.

          Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust money for their payment or redemption. Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described later under “Description of Debt Securities—Defeasance—Legal Defeasance.”

          We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding indenture securities that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indenture. If we set a record date for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of one or more series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding indenture securities of those series on the record date and must be taken within eleven months following the record date.

          Book-entry and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how approval may be granted or denied if we seek to change the indenture or the debt securities or request a waiver.

Defeasance

          The following provisions will be applicable to each series of debt securities unless we state in the applicable prospectus supplement that the provisions of covenant defeasance and legal defeasance will not be applicable to that series.

Covenant Defeasance

          We can make the deposit described below and be released from some of the restrictive covenants in the indenture under which the particular series was issued. This is called “covenant defeasance.” In that event, the holders would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection of having money and government securities set aside in trust to repay holders’ debt securities. If applicable, a holder also would be released from the subordination provisions described under “Description of Debt Securities—Indenture Provisions—Subordination” below. In order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:

• If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates;

• We may be required to deliver to the trustee a legal opinion of our counsel confirming that, under current U.S. Federal income tax law, we may make the above deposit without causing the holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity; and

• We must deliver to the trustee certain documentation stating that all conditions precedent to covenant defeasance have been complied with.

20

          If we accomplish covenant defeasance, holders can still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust deposit or the trustee is prevented from making payment. In fact, if one of the remaining Events of Default occurred (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities became immediately due and payable, there might be a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, holders may not be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.

Legal Defeasance

          As described below, we can legally release ourselves from all payment and other obligations on the debt securities of a particular series (called “legal defeasance”), without causing the holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than absent the release (1) if there is a change in U.S. Federal tax law and (2) if we put in place the following other arrangements for holders to be repaid:

• If the debt securities of the particular series are denominated in U.S. dollars, we must deposit in trust for the benefit of all holders of such debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates;

• We may be required to deliver to the trustee a legal opinion confirming that there has been a change in current U.S. Federal tax law or an Internal Revenue Service ruling that allows us to make the above deposit without causing the holders to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves at maturity. Under current U.S. Federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would be treated as though we paid each holder its share of the cash and notes or bonds at the time the cash and notes or bonds were deposited in trust in exchange for its debt securities and holders would recognize gain or loss on the debt securities at the time of the deposit; and

• We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion and officers’ certificate stating that all conditions precedent to legal defeasance have been complied with.

          If we ever did accomplish legal defeasance, as described above, holders would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment of the debt securities. Holders could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever became bankrupt or insolvent. If applicable, holders would also be released from the subordination provisions described later under “Description of Debt Securities—Indenture Provisions—Subordination.”

Resignation of Trustee

          Each trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of indenture securities provided that a successor trustee is appointed to act with respect to such series. In the event that two or more persons are acting as trustee with respect to different series of indenture securities under the indenture, each of the trustees will be a trustee of a trust separate and apart from the trust administered by any other trustee.

Indenture Provisions—Subordination

          Upon any distribution of our assets upon our dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on any indenture securities denominated as subordinated debt securities is to be subordinated to the extent provided in the indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, but our obligation to holders to make payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such subordinated debt securities will not otherwise be affected. In addition, no payment on account of principal (or premium, if any), interest or sinking fund, if any, may be made on such subordinated debt securities at any time unless full payment of all amounts due in respect of the principal (and premium, if any), interest and sinking fund, if any, on Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly provided for in money or money’s worth.

21

          In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment from us is received by the trustee in respect of subordinated debt securities or by the holders of any of such subordinated debt securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, the payment or distribution must be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or on their behalf for application to the payment of all the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all the Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the holders of such subordinated debt securities will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to the extent of payments made to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness out of the distributive share of such subordinated debt securities.

          By reason of this subordination, in the event of a distribution of our assets upon our insolvency, certain of our senior creditors may recover more, ratably, than holders of any subordinated debt securities. The related indenture will provide that these subordination provisions will not apply to money and securities held in trust under the defeasance provisions of the indenture.

          “Senior Indebtedness” will be defined in an applicable indenture as the principal of (and premium, if any) and unpaid interest on:

• our indebtedness (including indebtedness of others guaranteed by us), whenever created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, for money borrowed (other than indenture securities issued under the indenture and denominated as subordinated debt securities), unless in the instrument creating or evidencing the same or under which the same is outstanding it is provided that this indebtedness is not senior or prior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities; and

• renewals, extensions, modifications and refinancings of any of such indebtedness.

          The prospectus supplement accompanying any series of indenture securities denominated as subordinated debt securities will set forth the approximate amount of our Senior Indebtedness outstanding as of a recent date.

Trustee

          We intend to name the indenture trustee for each series of indenture securities in the related prospectus supplement.

Certain Considerations Relating to Foreign Currencies

          Debt securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risks. These risks include the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential illiquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

22

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

          The following is a general description of the terms of the units we may issue from time to time unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement. Particular terms of any units we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such units.

General

          We may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, rights and/or debt securities in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit may be issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

          We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately, the relevant provisions of any agreement governing the units and any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

          The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock,” “Description of Preferred Stock,” “Description of Depositary Shares,” “Description of Warrants,” “Description of Rights” and “Description of Debt Securities” will apply to each unit and to any preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, rights and debt securities included in each unit, respectively.

Governing Law

          The units and any unit agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

23

BOOK-ENTRY ISSUANCE

          Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, securities will be issued in the form of one or more global certificates, or “global securities,” registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary will be The Depository Trust Company, or DTC. DTC has informed us that its nominee will be Cede & Co. Accordingly, we expect Cede & Co. to be the initial registered holder of all securities that are issued in global form. No person that acquires a beneficial interest in those securities will be entitled to receive a certificate representing that person’s interest in the securities except as described herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless and until definitive securities are issued under the limited circumstances described below, all references to actions by holders of securities issued in global form will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and all references to payments and notices to holders will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of these securities.

          DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues and money market instruments that DTC’s participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among DTC’s participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between DTC’s participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC’s participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC.

          Persons that are not participants or indirect participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, securities may do so only through participants and indirect participants. Under a book-entry format, holders may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, as such payments will be forwarded by our designated agent to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward such payments to its participants, who will then forward them to indirect participants or holders. Holders will not be recognized by the relevant registrar, transfer agent, trustee, warrant agent, depositary or unit agent as registered holders of the securities entitled to the benefits of our restated certificate of incorporation or the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, deposit agreement, unit agreement or guarantee. Beneficial owners that are not participants will be permitted to exercise their rights only indirectly through and according to the procedures of participants and, if applicable, indirect participants.

          Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations as currently in effect, DTC will be required to make book-entry transfers of securities among participants and to receive and transmit payments to participants. DTC rules require participants and indirect participants with which beneficial securities owners have accounts to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit payments on behalf of their respective account holders.

          Because DTC can act only on behalf of

• participants, who in turn act only on behalf of participants or indirect participants; and

• certain banks, trust companies and other persons approved by it,

24

the ability of a beneficial owner of securities issued in global form to pledge such securities to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system may be limited due to the unavailability of physical certificates for these securities.

          DTC has advised us that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a registered holder of any securities under our restated certificate of incorporation or the relevant indenture, deposit agreement, warrant agreement or unit agreement only at the direction of one or more participants to whose accounts with DTC such securities are credited.

          Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, a global security will be exchangeable for the relevant definitive securities registered in the names of persons other than DTC or its nominee only if:

• DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for that global security or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when DTC is required to be so registered;

• we execute and deliver to the relevant registrar, transfer agent, trustee, warrant agent, depositary and/or unit agent an order complying with the requirements of the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, deposit agreement and/or unit agreement that the global security will be exchangeable for definitive securities in registered form; or

• there has occurred and is continuing a default in the payment of any amount due in respect of the securities or, in the case of debt securities, an event of default or an event that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an event of default with respect to these debt securities.

Any global security that is exchangeable under the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities registered in such names as DTC directs.

          Upon the occurrence of any event described in the preceding paragraph, DTC is generally required to notify all participants of the availability of definitive securities. Upon DTC surrendering the global security representing the securities and delivery of instructions for re-registration, the registrar, transfer agent, trustee, warrant agent, depositary and/or unit agent, as the case may be, will reissue the securities as definitive securities, and then such persons will recognize the holders of such definitive securities as registered holders of securities entitled to the benefits of our restated certificate of incorporation or the relevant indenture, deposit agreement, warrant agreement and/or unit agreement.

          Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. as the registered holder of the global securities. If less than all of a series of securities are being redeemed, DTC will determine the amount of the interest of each direct participant to be redeemed in accordance with its then current procedures.

          Except as described above, the global security may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or to a successor depositary we appoint. Except as described above, DTC may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise convey any beneficial interest in a global security evidencing all or part of any securities unless the beneficial interest is in an amount equal to an authorized denomination for these securities.

          The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be accurate, but we assume no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. None of Griffon, any registrar and transfer agent, trustee, any warrant agent, depositary or unit agent, or any agent of any of them, will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC’s or any participant’s records relating to, or for payments made on account of, beneficial interests in a global security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

25

          Secondary trading in notes and debentures of corporate issuers is generally settled in clearing-house or next-day funds. In contrast, beneficial interests in a global security, in some cases, may trade in the DTC’s same-day funds settlement system, in which case secondary market trading activity in those beneficial interests would be required by DTC to settle in immediately available funds. There is no assurance as to the effect, if any, that settlement in immediately available funds would have on trading activity in such beneficial interests. Also, settlement for purchases of beneficial interests in a global security upon the original issuance of this security may be required to be made in immediately available funds.

Considerations Relating to Euroclear and Clearstream

          Euroclear and Clearstream are securities clearing systems in Europe. Both systems clear and settle securities transactions between their participants through electronic, book-entry delivery of securities against payment.

          Euroclear and Clearstream may be depositaries for a global security. In addition, if DTC is the depositary for a global security, Euroclear and Clearstream may hold interests in the global security as participants in DTC. As long as any global security is held by Euroclear or Clearstream, as depositary, you may hold an interest in the global security only through an organization that participates, directly or indirectly, in Euroclear or Clearstream. If Euroclear or Clearstream is the depositary for a global security and there is no depositary in the United States, you will not be able to hold interests in that global security through any securities clearance system in the United States. Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the securities made through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those clearing systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. Griffon does not have control over those systems or their participants and assumes no responsibility for their activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and participants in DTC, on the other hand, when DTC is the depositary, would also be subject to DTC’s rules and procedures.

Special Timing Considerations for Transactions in Euroclear and Clearstream

          Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other transactions involving any securities held through those clearing systems only on days when those systems are open for business. These clearing systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.

          In addition, because of time-zone differences, U.S. investors who hold their interests in the securities through these clearing systems and wish to transfer their interests, or to receive or make a payment or delivery or exercise any other right with respect to their interests, on a particular day may find that the transaction will not be effected until the next business day in Luxembourg or Brussels, as applicable. Thus, investors who wish to exercise rights that expire on a particular day may need to act before the expiration date. In addition, investors who hold their interests through both DTC and Euroclear or Clearstream may need to make special arrangements to finance any purchases or sales of their interests between the U.S. and European clearing systems, and those transactions may settle later than would be the case for transactions within one clearing system.

RESELLING SECURITIES

          In general, the persons to whom we issue securities under this prospectus will be able to resell our securities in the public market without further registration and without being required to deliver a prospectus. However, certain persons who receive large blocks of our securities may want to resell those securities in distributions that would require the delivery of a prospectus. With our consent, this prospectus may be used by selling security holders who may wish to sell securities offered hereby. As used in this prospectus, “selling security holders” may include donees and pledgees selling securities received from a named selling security holder. However, no person who receives the securities covered by this prospectus will be authorized to use this prospectus for an offer of such securities without first obtaining our consent. We may limit our consent to a specified time period and subject to certain limitations and conditions, which may vary by agreement.

26

          Selling security holders may agree that:

• an offering of securities under this prospectus be effected in an orderly manner through securities dealers, acting as broker or dealer, selected by us;

• they will enter into custody agreements with one or more banks with respect to such securities; and

• that they make sales only by one or more of the methods described in this prospectus, as appropriately supplemented or amended when required.

          Usually, we will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale of securities offered by a selling security holder. If we do receive any proceeds, the arrangements and amount will be disclosed in the relevant prospectus supplement.

          Selling security holders may sell securities:

• through any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which our securities have been approved for listing or trading in the future or otherwise;

• in the over-the-counter market;

• in special offerings;

• directly to purchasers in privately negotiated transactions;

• by or through brokers or dealers, in ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

• in block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell securities as an agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal;

• in transactions in which a broker or dealer purchases as principal for resale for its own account;

• through underwriters or agents; or

• in any combination of these methods.

          Securities may be sold at a fixed offering price, at the prevailing market price at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price or at negotiated prices. Any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents may arrange for others to participate in any such transaction and may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or concessions from selling security holders and/or the purchasers of securities. The proceeds to a selling security holder from any sale of securities will be reduced by any compensation and any expenses to be borne by the selling security holder.

          If required by the Securities Act and the rules of the SEC, at the time a particular offer of securities is made a supplement to this prospectus will be delivered that identifies any persons reselling securities acquired under this prospectus and will provide information about them and describe any material arrangements for the distribution of securities and the terms of the offering, including the names of any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents and any discounts, commissions or concessions and other items constituting compensation from the selling security holder. We may agree to keep the registration statement relating to the offering and sale by the selling security holders continuously effective until a fixed date or the date on which the shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act.

27

          Selling security holders and any brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents that participate with a selling security holder in the distribution of securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which event any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

          We may agree to indemnify selling security holders and/or any such brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimburse them for certain expenses in connection with the offering and sale of securities.

          Selling security holders may also offer securities acquired pursuant to this prospectus under exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including sales which meet the requirements of Rule 144 or Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act. Selling security holders should seek the advice of their own counsel about the legal requirements for such sales.

28

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          This prospectus covers securities that we may issue from time to time in connection with acquisitions of businesses, assets or securities of other companies. In addition to the securities offered by this prospectus, we may offer other consideration, including stock options, cash, notes or other evidences of debt, assumption of liabilities or a combination of these types of consideration. In addition, we may lease property from, and enter into management agreements and consulting and noncompetition agreements with, the former owners and key executive personnel of the businesses to be acquired.

          We expect the terms of acquisitions involving the issuance of the securities covered by this prospectus to be determined by direct negotiations between our representatives and the owners or controlling persons of the businesses, assets or securities to be acquired. Factors taken into account in acquisitions may include, among other factors, the quality and reputation of the businesses to be acquired and its management, the strategic market position of the businesses to be acquired, its assets, earning power, cash flow and growth potential, and the market value of its securities, including common stock, when pertinent. The value of our securities issued in any such acquisition will be offered at prices based upon or reasonably related to the current market value of the securities. The value will be determined either when the terms of the acquisition are tentatively or finally agreed to, when the acquisition is completed, when we issue the securities or during some other negotiated period. We do not expect to pay underwriting discounts or commissions, although we may pay finders’ fees from time to time in connection with certain acquisitions. Any person receiving finders’ fees may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the resale of securities purchased by them may be considered underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

          In an effort to maintain an orderly market in our securities or for other reasons, we may negotiate agreements with persons receiving securities covered by this prospectus that will limit the number of securities that they may sell at specified intervals. These agreements may be more or less restrictive than restrictions on sales made under the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act, including the requirements under Rule 144 or Rule 145(d), and the persons party to these agreements may not otherwise be subject to the Securities Act requirements. We may also determine to waive any such agreements without public notice.

          In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the maximum compensation to the underwriters or dealers in connection with the sale of our securities pursuant to this prospectus and the accompanying supplement to this prospectus may not exceed 8% of the aggregate offering price of the securities as set forth on the cover page of any prospectus supplement.

29

PART II. INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Our policy and amended bylaws provide that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by us to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation law, we are permitted to offer indemnification to our directors, officers, employees and agents.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law 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.

          (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

II-1

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 the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws 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.

          (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,

II-2

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 our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, 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, we 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.

          Article V, Section 4 of our amended bylaws provides:

          “The corporation shall 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 by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or an 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 all expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent and in the manner set forth in and permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as from time to time in effect, and any other applicable law, as from time to time in effect. Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of each such person.

          The foregoing provisions of this Article shall be deemed to be a contract between the corporation and each director, officer, employee or agent who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article, and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and other applicable law, if any, are in effect, and any repeal or modification thereof shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such state of facts.”

ITEM 22. 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 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
		(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
	(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

II-4

		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)	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
		(i)	(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
		(i)	(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. 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.
	(5)	That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the 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;
		(iii)	The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
		(iv)	Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual

II-5

	report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)	The undersigned hereby undertakes that, prior to any public reoffering of the securities hereunder through the use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other Items of the applicable form. Further, the undersigned hereby undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to this paragraph (c), or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes 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.
(d)	Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(e)	If and when applicable, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the Trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of such Act.
(f)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
(g)	The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(101,000) shares of which One Thousand (1,000) shares having a par value of One
Dollar ($1.00) per share shall be of a class designated "Common Stock" and One
Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares




any class or any other series of Preferred Stock and, if so, the terms and
conditions of such conversion or exchange, including the method of adjusting
the rates of conversion or exchange in the event of a stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares or similar event;

            (7) Whether the shares of that series shall have voting rights, in
addition to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of such
voting rights;

            (8) Whether the issuance of any additional shares of such series, or
of any shares of any other series, shall be subject to restriction as to
issuance, or as to the powers, preferences or rights of any such other series;

            (9) Any other preferences, privileges and powers, and relative,
participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations
or restrictions of such series, as the Board of Directors may deem advisable and
as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of
Incorporation and to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of
Delaware.

        (c) Payment of dividends shall be as follows:

            (1) The holders of Preferred Stock of each series, in preference to
the holders of the Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, as and when
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor,


                                        4


cash dividends, at the rate for such series fixed in accordance with the
provisions of Paragraph 1(b)(2) of this Article FOURTH and no more;

            (2) No dividend shall be paid upon, or declared or set aside for,
any share of Preferred Stock with respect to any dividend period unless at the
same time a like proportionate dividend with respect to the same dividend
period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed
therefor, shall be paid upon, or declared and set apart for, all shares of
Preferred Stock of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to
receive such dividend;

            (3) So long as any shares of Preferred Stock shall be outstanding,
in no event shall any dividend, whether in cash or property, be paid or
declared, nor shall any distribution be made, on the Common Stock, nor shall any
shares of the Common Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for
value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on all cumulative series of
Preferred Stock with respect to all past dividend periods and unless all
dividends on all series of Preferred Stock for the then current dividend period
shall have been paid or declared, and provided for, and unless the Corporation
shall not be in default with respect to any of its obligations with respect to
any sinking


                                        5


fund for any series of Preferred Stock. The foregoing provisions of this
Subparagraph (3) shall not, however, apply to a dividend payable in Common
Stock;

            (4) No dividends shall be deemed to have accrued on any share of
Preferred Stock of any series with respect to any period prior to the date of
original issue of such share or the dividend payment date immediately preceding
or following such date of original issue, as may be provided in the resolution
or resolutions of the Board of Directors creating such series. The Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any dividends declared and paid on
the Common Stock, whether payable in cash, stock or otherwise. Accruals of
dividends shall not bear interest.

        (d) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Corporation, the
holders of the shares of each series of the Preferred Stock then outstanding
shall be entitled to receive out of the net assets of the Corporation, but only
in accordance with the preferences, if any, provided for such series, before any
distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock, the
amount per share fixed by the resolutions of the Board of Directors to be
received by the holders of each such share on such


                                        6


voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or
winding-up, as the case may be. If such payment shall have been made in full, to
the holders of all outstanding Preferred Stock of all series, or duly provided
for, the remaining assets of the Corporation shall be available for distribution
among the holders of the Common Stock (as provided in Paragraph II(b) of this
Article FOURTH). If upon any such liquidation, dissolution, distribution of
assets of winding-up, the net assets of the Corporation available for
distribution among the holders of any one or more series of the Preferred Stock
which (i) are entitled to a preference over the holders of the Common Stock upon
such liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, and (ii)
rank equally in connection therewith, shall be insufficient to make payment in
full of the preferential amount to which the holders of such shares shall be
entitled, then such assets shall be distributed among the holders of each such
series of the Preferred Stock ratably according to the respective amounts to
which they would be entitled in respect of the shares held by them upon such
distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid
in full.

        "RESOLVED, that the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the
shares of Preferred Stock, par value $100 per share, of the Corporation, and the
qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, in addition to those set
forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, shall be as
follows:

            (a) One hundred thousand (100,000) shares of such Preferred Stock
        shall be designated as "Series A Preferred Stock."

            (b) The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
        receive dividends in cash at the rate per share of $12 per annum, and no
        more, which dividends, if decided, shall be payable quarterly on the

        respectively, of each year, commencing on the first of the Dividend
        Dates occurring at least ten (10) days after the date of original issue

            (c) Any share of Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the
        option of the Corporation by resolution of its Board of Directors, at

        Original Issue Date, at the redemption price of $100 per share, in each
        case plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends
        thereon to the date fixed for redemption. In the event that

        at any time less than all of the issued and outstanding shares of the
        Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed
        may be selected pro rata, or by lot, or by such other equitable method

        such holder are then to be redeemed, the notice shall also specify the
        number of shares thereof which are to be redeemed and the number or
        numbers of the certificate or certificates representing such shares. If
        such notice of redemption shall have been duly mailed to a holder of
        shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, or irrevocable
        instructions to effect such mailing shall have been given to the
        transfer agent or agents, if any, for such Series A Preferred Stock, and
        if on or before the redemption date named in such notice all funds
        necessary for such redemption shall have been set aside by the
        Corporation in trust for the account of such holder, so as to be
        available therefor, then, from and after the mailing of such notice or
        the giving of such irrevocable instructions and the setting aside of
        such funds, notwithstanding that any certificate for shares of Series A
        Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered
        for cancellation, the shares so called for redemption shall no longer be
        deemed outstanding, and the holder of any such certificate shall have
        with respect to such shares no rights in or

        with respect to the Corporation except the right to receive the
        redemption price of such shares, without interest, plus an amount equal
        to any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for
        redemption, upon the surrender of such certificate; and after the date
        designated for redemption, such shares shall not be transferable on the
        books of the Corporation.

            (d) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, distribution of
        assets or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or
        involuntary, before any distribution or payment shall be made to any
        holder of one or more shares of the Common Stock in the nature of a
        distribution of the assets of the Corporation, each of the holders of
        the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive $100 per share
        of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder, plus an amount equal to
        any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of payment.

            (e) No share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible
        into or exchangeable for any other security at the option of either the
        Corporation or the holder of such share.

            (f) The holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not
        be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund to be applied to the
        possible redemption of such shares."

    if any, for such Series A Preferred Stock, and if on or before the
    redemption date named in such notice all funds necessary for such redemption
    shall have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the account of
    such holder, so as to be available therefor, then, from and after the

    distribution to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock upon

    assets or winding up of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay in full
    all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the immediately
    preceding


                                        5

    account of the issued and outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred
    Stock.

        Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation, nor the sale,
    lease or conveyance (whether for cash, securities or other property) of all

    entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund to be applied to the possible
    redemption of such shares.

                  (subsequently renamed Ames True Temper, Inc.)

                                   ARTICLE V.

                                  Stockholders

            SECTION A.  Annual Meetings. (a) All meetings of the Stockholders
for the election of directors shall be held in the County of New Castle, State
of Delaware, at such place as may be fixed from time to time by the Board of
Directors, or at such other place either within or without the State of Delaware
as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in
the notice of the meeting. Meetings of Stockholders for any other purpose may be
held at such time and place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall
be stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice
thereof.

            (b)  Annual meetings of Stockholders shall be held on such date and
at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors
and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which they shall elect by a
plurality vote a Board of Directors, and transact such other business as may
properly be brought before the meeting.

            (c)  Written notice of the annual meeting stating the place, date,
and hour of the meeting shall be given to each Stockholder entitled to vote at
such meeting not less than ten days nor more than sixty days prior to the date
of the meeting.

            (d)  The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the
Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten days before every meeting of
Stockholders, a complete list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the
meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
Stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each Stockholder.
Such list shall be open to the examination of any Stockholder, for any purpose
germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least
ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the
meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the
meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.
The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting
during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Stockholder who is
present. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to the Stockholders
entitled to examine the stock ledger, the list required by this section or the
books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of
Stockholders.

            SECTION B.  Special Meetings. (a) Special meetings of the
Stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by
statute or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, may be called
by the President and shall be called by the President or Secretary at the
request in writing of a majority of the Board of Directors, or at the request in
writing of a Stockholder or Stockholders owning a majority in amount of the
entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.

            (b)  Written notice of a special meeting stating the place, date,
and hour of the meeting and, in general terms, the purpose or purposes for which
the meeting is called, shall be given not less than ten days nor




more than sixty days prior to the date of the meeting, to each Stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting. Whenever the directors shall fail to fix such
place, the meeting shall be held at the principal executive offices of the
Corporation.

            (c)  Business transacted at any special meeting of Stockholders
shall be limited to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice.

            SECTION 3.  Quorums. (a) The holders of a majority of the stock
issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the
Stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by
statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum shall
not be present or represented at any meeting of the Stockholders, the
Stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by
proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice
other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or
represented. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present or
represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at
the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty
days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned
meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of
record entitled to vote at the meeting. When a quorum is once present it is not
broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any Stockholder.

            (b)  When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the
holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or
represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting,
unless the question is one on which by express provision of the Delaware General
Corporation Law or of the certificate of incorporation, a different vote is
required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the
decision of such question.

            SECTION 4.  Organization. Meetings of Stockholders shall be presided
over by the Chairman, if any, or if none or in the Chairman's absence the
President, if any, or if none or in the President's absence, by a Chairman to be
chosen by the Stockholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by
proxy at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, or in the Secretary's
absence an Assistant Secretary, shall act as Secretary of every meeting, but if
neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, the presiding
officer of the meeting shall appoint any person present to act as Secretary of
the meeting.

            SECTION 5.  Voting; Proxies; Required Vote. (a) At each meeting of
Stockholders, every Stockholder shall be entided to vote in person or by proxy
appointed by an instrument in writing, subscribed by such Stockholder or by such
Stockholder's duly authorized attorney-in-fact (but no such proxy shall be voted
or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a
longer period), and, unless the Certificate of Incorporation provides otherwise,
shall have one vote for each share of stock entided to vote registered in the
name of such Stockholder on the books of the Corporation on the applicable
record date fixed pursuant to these By-Laws. At all elections of directors the
voting may but need not be by ballot and a plurality of the votes cast there
shall elect. Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of
Incorporation, any other action shall be authorized by a majority of the votes
cast.

            (b)  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
Stockholders may, except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of
Incorporation, be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a
vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by the holders of record of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
the Corporation having a majority of votes that would be necessary to authorize
or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon
were present and voted, and the writing or writings are filed with the permanent
records of the Corporation. Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action
without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those
Stockholders who have not consented in writing.


                                        2


            (c)  Where a separate vote by a class or classes, present in person
or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to vote on that
matter, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or classes
present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of
such class, unless otherwise provided in the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation.

            SECTION 6.  The Board of Directors, in advance of any meeting, may,
but need not, appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting
or any adjournment thereof. If an inspector or inspectors are not so appointed,
the person presiding at the meeting may, but need not, appoint one or more
inspectors. In case any person who may be appointed as an inspector fails to
appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the directors in
advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the person presiding thereat. Each
inspector, if any, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties,
shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at
such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock
outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the
meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and
shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and
questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all
votes, ballots or consents, determine the result, and do such acts as are proper
to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all Stockholders. On request of
the person presiding at the meeting, the inspector or inspectors, if any, shall
make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by such
inspector or inspectors and execute a certificate of any fact found by such
inspector or inspectors.

Stockholders and the Board of Directors and shall have such other duties, if

            (b)  Directors who are elected at an annual meeting of Stockholders,

            (c)  Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at
each meeting of the Board of Directors and may be paid a fixed sum for
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors or a stated salary as
director. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the
Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members
of special or standing Committees may be allowed like compensation for attending
Committee meetings.

            SECTION 3.  Quorum and Manner of Voting. Except as otherwise
provided by law, a majority of the entire Board of Directors shall constitute a

may adjourn a meeting from time to time to another time and place without
notice. The vote


                                        3


of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is

Stockholders, the newly elected Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of

Board of Directors when present, and, in the Secretary's absence, the presiding
officer may appoint any person to act as Secretary.

            SECTION 10. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time upon
written notice to the Corporation and such resignation shall take effect upon
receipt thereof by the President or Secretary, unless otherwise specified in the

vote for the election of directors.

            SECTION 11. Vacancies. Unless otherwise provided in these By-Laws,
vacancies on the Board of Directors, whether caused by resignation, death,
disqualification, removal, an increase in the authorized number of directors or
otherwise, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining
directors, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, or at a
special meeting of the Stockholders, by vote of the Stockholders required for
the election of directors generally.

            SECTION 12. Action bv Written Consent. Any action required or
permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken

            SECTION 1.  Appointment. The Board of Directors may, by resolution
passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more Committees, each
Committee to consist of two or more of the directors of the Corporation. The
Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of

management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the
seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Such
Committee or Committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from
time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

            SECTION 2.  Procedures, Quorum and Manner of Acting. Each Committee
shall fix its own rules of procedure, and shall meet where and as provided by
such rules or by resolution of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise
provided by law, the presence of a majority of the then appointed members of a
Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business by that
Committee, and in every case where a quorum is present the affirmative vote of a
majority of the members of the Committee present shall be the act of the
Committee. Each Committee shall keep minutes of its proceedings, and actions
taken by a Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors.

            SECTION 1. Location. The books and records of the Corporation may
be kept at such place or places within or outside the State of Delaware as the
Board of Directors or the respective officers in charge thereof may from time to
time determine. The record books containing the names and addresses of all

                                        7


            (b)  In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders
entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board
of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date
upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors and which date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon
which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the
record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action
in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is
required, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting
forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation
by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal
place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of
the book in which proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded. Delivery
made to the Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or
registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by
the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by
law, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to consent to
corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business
on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such
prior action.

            (c)  In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders
entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment
of any rights or the Stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of
any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other
lawful action not contemplated by paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 3, the
Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede
the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and which
record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record
date is fixed, the record date for determining Stockholders for any such purpose
shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors
adopts the resolution relating thereto.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                        Certificates Representing Stock

            SECTION 1.  Certificates; Signatures. The shares of the Corporation
shall be represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of
the Corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any
or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such
resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such
certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of
such a resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented
by certificates and upon request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be
entitled to have a certificate, signed by or in the name of the Corporation by
the Chairman or Vice-chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or
Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares
registered in certificate form. Any and all signatures on any such certificate
may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has
signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall
have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
The name of the holder of record of the shares represented thereby, with the
number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered on the books of
the Corporation. The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make
all such rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue,
transfer and registration of certificates representing shares of the
Corporation.

            SECTION 2.  Transfers of Stock. Upon compliance with provisions
restricting the transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any,
shares of capital stock shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation
only by the holder of record thereof in person, or by duly authorized attorney,
upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares,
properly endorsed, and the payment of all taxes due thereon.


                                        8


            SECTION 3.  Fractional Shares. The Corporation may, but shall not be
required to, issue certificates for tractions of a share where necessary to
effect authorized transactions, or the Corporation may pay in cash the fair
value of fractions of a share as of the time when those entitled to receive such
fractions are determined, or it may issue scrip in registered or bearer form
over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Corporation or of
its agent, exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip
shall not entitle the holder to any rights of a Stockholder except as therein
provided.

            SECTION 4.  Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation
may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any certificate, theretofore
issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of
Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or
his legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify
the Corporation against any claim that may be made against it on account of the
alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of
any such new certificate.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                    Dividends

            Subject to the provisions of applicable law and the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have full power to determine whether
any, and, if any, what part of any, funds legally available for the payment of
dividends shall be declared as dividends and paid to Stockholders; the division
of the whole or any part of such funds of the Corporation shall rest wholly
within the lawful discretion of the Board of Directors, and it shall not be
required at any time, against such discretion, to divide or pay any part of such
funds among or to the Stockholders as dividends or otherwise; and before payment
of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Corporation
available for dividends such sum or sums as the Board of Directors from time to
time, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve or reserves to meet
contingencies or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any
property of the Corporation, or for any proper purpose, and the Board of
Directors may modify or abolish any such reserve. Stockholders shall receive
dividends pro rata in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock
respectively held by them. A holder of Common Stock shall be deemed to share pro
rata in all dividends declared by the Board of Directors within the meaning of
the preceding sentence if such Stockholder receives assets (whether consisting
of cash, securities, real property, equipment, inventory or other assets) the
fair market value of which is in the same proportion to the fair market value of
the total assets of the Corporation available for distribution as a dividend as
the number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder of Common Stock is to
the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation. A Stockholder shall not have the right to receive a pro rata share
of each or any such asset available for distribution as a dividend; however, the
Corporation shall not be prohibited hereby for making a pro rata distribution of
each or any such asset available for distribution as a dividend. The fair market
value of any and all assets of the Corporation distributed as a dividend shall
be determined in the sole discretion of the Corporation's Board of Directors.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                  Ratification

            Any transaction, questioned in any lawsuit on the ground of lack of
authority, detective or irregular execution, adverse interest of director,
officer or Stockholder, non-disclosure, miscomputation, or the application of
improper principles or practices of accounting, may be ratified before or after
judgment, by the Board of Directors or by the Stockholders, and if so ratified
shall have the same force and effect as if the questioned transaction had been
originally duly authorized. Such ratification shall be binding upon the
Corporation and its Stockholders and shall constitute a bar to any claim or
execution of any judgment in respect of such questioned transaction.


                                        9


                                    ARTICLE X

                                 Corporate Seal

            The corporate seal shall be in either of the following forms: (a)
the letters "L.S." or (b) a circular inscription which contains the words
"Corporate Seal" and such additional information as the officer inscribing such
seal shall determine in such officer's sole discretion. The corporate seal may
be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or
reproduced or otherwise displayed or it may be manually inscribed.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                   Fiscal Year

            The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed, and shall be
subject to change, by the Board of Directors. Unless otherwise fixed by the
Board of Directors, the fiscal year of the Corporation shall end on the Saturday
closest to September 30.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                Waiver of Notice

            Whenever notice is required to be given by these By-Laws or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or by law, a written waiver thereof, signed by the
person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                   Amendments

            The Board of Directors shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal
By-Laws. By-Laws adopted by the Board of Directors may be repealed or changed,
and new By-Laws made, by the Stockholders, and the Stockholders may prescribe
that any By-Law made by them shall not be altered, amended or repeated by the
Board of Directors.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                 Indemnification

            SECTION 1.  Power To Indemnify In Actions, Suits Or Proceedings
Other Than Those By Or In the Right Of The Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of
this Article XIV, the Corporation shall 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 such 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'
and other professionals' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner 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 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


                                       10


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 conduct was unlawful.

            SECTION 2.  Power To Indemnify In Actions, Suits Or Proceedings By
Or In The Right Of The Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article XIV,
the Corporation shall 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 he 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' and
other professionals' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person
acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation 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.

            SECTION 3.  Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification
under this Article XIV (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 director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article XIV, as the case may be. Such
determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable,
a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, or (iii) if the Board of Directors so directs, by the
Stockholders. To the extent, however, that a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' and other professionals' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the
necessity of authorization in the specific case.

            SECTION 4.  Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination
under Section 3 of this Article XIV, a person shall be deemed to have acted in
good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful,
if the action is based on (a) the records or books of account of the Corporation
or another enterprise (as defined below in this Section 4), or on information
supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise
in the course of their duties, unless such person had reasonable cause to
believe that reliance thereon would not be justifiable, or on (b) the advice of
legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information or
records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an
independent certified public accountant, independent financial adviser,
appraiser or other expert, as to matters reasonably believed to be within such
other person's professional or expert competence. The term "another enterprise"
as used in this Section 4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving
at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. The
provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in
any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article XIV,
as the case may be.

            SECTION 5.  Indemnification By A Court. Notwithstanding any contrary
determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article XIV, and
notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director,
officer, employee or agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in
the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible
under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article XIV.


                                       11


The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such
court that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is
proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standards of
conduct set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Article XIV, as the case may be.
Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall
be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application.

            SECTION 6.  Expenses Payable In Advance. Expenses (including
attorneys' and other professionals' fees) incurred by an officer or director in
defending any threatened or pending civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding may, but shall not be required to, 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 Article XIV. Such expenses (including attorneys' and other professionals'
fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and
conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

            SECTION 7.  Non-exclusivity and Survival of Indemnification. The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to
this Article XIV shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under
any By-Law, agreement, contract, vote of Stockholders or of disinterested
directors, or pursuant to the direction (howsoever embodied) of any court of
competent jurisdiction or otherwise, it being the policy of the Corporation that
indemnification of the persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article XIV
(as distinguished from advancement of funds pursuant to Section 6 of this
Article XIV) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The
provisions of this Article XIV shall not be deemed to preclude the
indemnification of any person who is not specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this
Article XIV but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify
under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or
otherwise. The indemnification provided by this Article XIV shall 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, administrators and other
comparable legal representatives of such person. The rights conferred in this
Article XIV shall be enforceable as contract rights, and shall continue to exist
after any rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to events
occurring prior thereto.

            SECTION 8.  Meaning of "other enterprises" in connection with
Employee Benefit Plans, etc. For purposes of this Article XIV (including
Sections 1, 2, 4 and 9 hereof), references to "other enterprises" shall include
employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes
assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; 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
has acted in good faith and in a manner 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 Article XIV.

            SECTION 9.  Insurance. The Corporation may, but shall not be
required to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who 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 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 or the obligation to
indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this
Article XIV.

Stockholders

          Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

          Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority, as expressly provided in a resolution of the Board of Directors, include the power to call such meetings, but such special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.

          Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given that shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at its address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

          Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote

1

Exhibit 3.12

communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

          Section 1.5 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, at each meeting of stockholders the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 1.4 of these by-laws until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the corporation or any subsidiary of the corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

          Section 1.6 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the Vice Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his or her absence by the President, or in his or her absence by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the person presiding over the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. The person presiding over the meeting shall announce at the meeting of stockholders the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote.

          Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing with the Secretary of the corporation an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Secretary of the corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot. At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. All other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these by-laws, be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock which are present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon.

          Section 1.8 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date: (i) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting; (ii) in the case of determination of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, shall not be more than ten (10) days from the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of

3

Exhibit 3.12

Directors; and (iii) in the case of determination of stockholders for the purpose of any other lawful action, shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such other action. If no record date is fixed: (iv) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (v) the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action; and (vi) the record date for determining stockholders for the purpose of any other lawful action, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

          Section 1.9 List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting; or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by

4

Exhibit 3.12

means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Upon the wilful neglect or refusal of the directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of directors held at a place, or to open such a list to examination on a reasonably accessible electronic network during any meeting for the election of directors held solely by means of remote communication, they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled (i) to examine the stock ledger, the list of stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting, or the books of the corporation, (ii) to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, and (iii) to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting.

          Section 1.10 Action By Consent of Stockholders. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (A) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (B) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which

5

Exhibit 3.12

such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission, may be otherwise delivered to the principal place of business of the corporation or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the Board of Directors of the corporation. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders or members to take the action were delivered to the corporation as provided by law.

          Section 1.11 Inspectors of Election. The corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one (1) or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one (1) or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of the stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one (1) or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The

6

Exhibit 3.12

inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector’s or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

          Section 1.12 Conduct of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the corporation may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the person presiding over any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.

As to the facts upon which this opinion is based, we have relied upon certificates of public officials and certificates and written statements of officers, directors, employees and representatives of the Company.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as original documents, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of natural persons who are signatories to the documents examined by us and the legal power and authority of all persons signing on behalf of the parties to all documents (other than the Company and the Guarantors).

On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in this letter, we are of the opinion that:
