Exchange Offer for 75/8% Senior Notes due 2018

        Offer for outstanding 75/8% Senior Notes due 2018, in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (which we refer to as the "Old Notes") in exchange for up to $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 75/8% Senior Notes due 2018 which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (which we refer to as the "Exchange Notes" and, together with the Old Notes, the "notes").

Terms of the Exchange Offer

    Expires 5:00 p.m., New York City time,                        , 2011, unless extended.

    You may withdraw tendered outstanding Old Notes any time before the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

    Not subject to any condition other than that the exchange offer does not violate applicable law or any interpretation of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    We can amend or terminate the exchange offer.

    We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

    The exchange of Old Notes for the Exchange Notes should not be a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. See "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations."

Terms of the Exchange Notes

    The Exchange Notes will rank senior in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future subordinated indebtedness and equal in right of payment with all of our and the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness.

    Each of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantees our senior secured revolving credit facility will unconditionally guarantee the Exchange Notes with guarantees that will rank equal in right of payment to all of the senior indebtedness of such guarantor and will rank senior to all of the future subordinated indebtedness of such guarantor.

    The Exchange Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our senior secured revolving credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and will be structurally subordinated to all obligations of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

    The Exchange Notes will mature on November 1, 2018.

    The Exchange Notes will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 75/8% and will be payable semi-annually on each May 1 and November 1, beginning on May 1, 2011.

    We may redeem the Exchange Notes in whole or in part from time to time. See "Description of Exchange Notes."

    If we experience a change of control, the holders of the Exchange Notes will have the right to require us to purchase some of their notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.

    The terms of the Exchange Notes are substantially identical to those of the outstanding Old Notes, except the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions relating to the Old Notes do not apply to the Exchange Notes.

        For a discussion of the specific risks that you should consider before tendering your outstanding Old Notes in the exchange offer, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 13 of this prospectus.

The following summary contains basic information about the Company and this exchange offer. It is not complete and may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read the entire prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference, before making an investment decision, especially the information presented under the heading "Risk Factors," our financial statements, the notes to those financial statements and the other financial information, included elsewhere in this prospectus.


Our Company

        We are a leading construction services company offering diversified general contracting, construction management and design-build services to private clients and public agencies throughout the world. Based on our 2009 revenues, the Company was ranked by Engineering News Record ("ENR") as the 9th largest contractor in the U.S. market. We have provided construction services since 1894 and have established a strong reputation within our markets by executing large, complex projects on time and within budget while adhering to strict quality control measures. We offer general contracting, pre-construction planning and comprehensive project management services, including the planning and scheduling of the manpower, equipment, materials and subcontractors required for a project. We also offer self-performed construction services including site work, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical and mechanical, plumbing and HVAC. During 2010, we performed work on approximately 300 construction projects for over 145 federal, state and local government agencies or authorities and private customers. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we generated revenues and net income of $3,199.2 million and $103.5 million, respectively.

        We have executed a number of transactions in the past to diversify our business and geographic profile. In January 2003, the acquisition of James A. Cummings, Inc. ("Cummings") expanded our presence in the southeastern region of the United States. Cummings specializes in the construction of schools, municipal buildings and commercial developments. In January 2005, we acquired Cherry Hill Construction ("Cherry Hill"), a regional civil construction company who operates in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern regions. Cherry Hill provided the Company with more geographic coverage and expanded the equipment fleet. Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. ("Rudolph and Sletten"), an established building contractor and construction management company based in Redwood City, California, was acquired in October 2005 to expand our presence on the west coast of the United States. Rudolph and Sletten specializes in the construction of corporate campuses and healthcare, gaming, biotech, pharmaceutical, industrial, and high-tech projects. In September 2008, we merged with Tutor-Saliba Corporation ("Tutor Saliba") to further expand our presence in the western United States. Tutor-Saliba is an established general contractor with expertise in both civil and building projects, including highways, bridges, mass transit systems, hospitality and gaming, transportation, healthcare, education and office building projects, primarily in Nevada and California for both public and private customers. In January 2009, we acquired Keating Building Company ("Keating"), a Philadelphia-based construction, construction management and design-build company with expertise in both private and public works building projects. The acquisition of Keating enabled us to expand our building construction market presence in the eastern half of the United States, including the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions. In November 2010, we acquired Superior Gunite, a California-based construction company specializing in pneumatically placed structural concrete utilized primarily in infrastructure projects such as bridges, dams, tunnels and retaining walls. In January 2011, we completed the acquisition of Fisk Electric Company ("Fisk"), an electrical construction company based in Houston, Texas. Fisk covers many of the major commercial and industrial electrical construction markets in the southwest and southeast regions, with the ability to cover other attractive markets nationwide. We acquired Fisk because we believe that Fisk is a strong strategic fit enabling us to expand our nationwide

electrical capabilities and to realize significant synergies and opportunities in support of our non-residential building and civil operations. In April 2011, we acquired Anderson Companies which provides general contracting, design-build, preconstruction, and construction management services throughout the Southeastern United States.

        Our business is currently organized into three segments: Building, Civil and Management Services:

        Building Group:    Our Building segment has significant experience providing services to a number of specialized building markets, including the hospitality and gaming, transportation, healthcare, municipal offices, sports and entertainment, education, correctional facilities, and other industrial markets. We have a leading reputation for executing the largest and most complex non-residential building projects, with strict adherence to superior quality control and timely execution. In 2010, we earned the following rankings from Engineering-News Record, based on revenue:

    2nd largest contractor in the United States general building market

    Largest builder in the hotel, motel and convention center market

    Largest builder in the entertainment facilities market

    2nd largest builder in the airport facilities market

    12th largest builder in the healthcare market

    2nd largest green building contractor in the United States

Additionally, we are currently working on or recently completed a number of marquee projects, including, but not limited to:

    McCarran Airport Terminal 3 in Las Vegas, NV

    Philadelphia Convention Center in Pennsylvania

    Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, CA

    CityCenter for MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, NV

    Wynn Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, NV

        For the year ended December 31, 2010, our Building segment generated revenues and income from construction operations of $2,327 million and $95.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, our Building segment backlog was approximately $2.7 billion.

        Civil Group:    Our Civil segment specializes in public works construction and the repair, replacement and reconstruction of infrastructure, primarily in the western, northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States. Services include the construction and rehabilitation of highways, bridges, mass transit systems, and wastewater treatment facilities. Due to the 2009 multi-billion dollar economic stimulus package, the increase in alternative funding sources such as public-private partnerships and historically large government funding sources aimed at the replacement and repair of an aging U.S. infrastructure, we believe this segment provides substantial growth opportunities for us in the future. In 2010, we earned the following rankings from Engineering-News Record, based on revenue:

    9th largest domestic heavy contractor

    9th largest transportation contractor

    20th largest builder of bridges

        Additionally, we have completed or are currently working on some of the most significant civil projects in the United States, including, but not limited to:

    SR99 bored tunnel project in Seattle, WA

    Rehabilitation of the Tappan Zee bridge in Westchester County, NY

    John F. Kennedy International Airport runway widening in Queens, NY

    Various segments of the Greenwich Street corridor project in New York, NY

    I-5 bridge replacement in Shasta County, CA

    Caldecott Tunnel project near Oakland, CA

    New Irvington Tunnel project in Fremont, CA

    Construction of express toll lanes along I-95 in Maryland

        For the year ended December 31, 2010, our civil segment generated revenues and income from construction operations of $668 million and $87.8 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, our civil segment backlog was approximately $1.4 billion.

        Management Services:    Our Management Services segment provides diversified construction and design-build services to the U.S. military and government agencies as well as surety companies and multi-national corporations in the United States and overseas. This segment has historically focused on regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan, with additional growth opportunities in Guam, as the U.S. military plans to expand its presence in that region. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our Management Services segment generated revenues and income from construction operations of $205 million and $22.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, our Management Services backlog was $261 million.


Competitive Strengths

        Significant scale and leading construction capabilities.    We believe that our national network of construction and management services differentiates us from our competitors, specifically in end markets that require complex solutions. For over 100 years, we have provided specialized construction services, with an emphasis on large, complex projects in dense urban areas. We consistently qualify to compete for major projects across the United States due to our proven record of performance and strong financial position. We have completed or are currently working on some of the most significant construction projects in the United States, including McCarran International Airport Terminal 3 in Las Vegas, NV, Philadelphia Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA, San Bernardino Courthouse in San Bernardino, CA, Tappan Zee Bridge in Westchester County, New York; and the John F. Kennedy International Airport runway widening in Queens, New York. Our nationwide capabilities, long-term client relationships and proven expertise allow us to capture additional business from existing clients seeking to expand their geographic or local presence and market share. We continue to successfully leverage our nationwide capabilities to assist our clients across all geographic regions.

        Integrated business model with significant self perform capabilities.    Our self-perform construction services include site work, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical and mechanical, plumbing and HVAC. Certain of our existing and potential customers, especially those in the civil end markets, require general contractors to perform significant portions of the construction process without the use of subcontractors. While many of our competitors subcontract a significant portion of a project, our integrated business model enables us to keep a larger portion of the work in-house.

        This ability, along with our financial strength and outstanding record of performance on challenging building and civil works projects, prequalifies us for projects in situations where smaller,

3

less diversified contractors are unable to do so. This is a competitive advantage that makes us an attractive partner on the largest infrastructure projects and DBOM (design-build-operate-maintain) contracts, which combine the nation's top contractors with engineering firms, equipment manufacturers and project development consultants in a competitive bid selection process to execute highly sophisticated public works projects.

        Revenue that is diversified across customers and end markets.    Our construction services are targeted toward end markets that are diversified across project types, client characteristics and geographic locations. Our Building segment includes revenue sources from the hospitality and gaming, transportation, healthcare, municipal and government, education, commercial offices, sports and entertainment and industrial end markets. In 2010, $2.3 billion of revenue came from end markets served by our Building segment. Our Civil segment revenue comes from a number of different project types, including bridges, mass transit, highways and wastewater treatment projects. In 2010, we generated $668 million of revenue from end markets served by our Civil Group segment.

        In addition to providing our services across a number of different end markets, we provide our services to a broad range of private and public customers. In 2010, we derived approximately 47% of our revenues from private customers. Our private customers include major hospitality and gaming resort owners, Native American sovereign nations, public corporations, private developers, healthcare companies and private universities. We derived approximately 44% of our revenues from state and local government customers during 2010. Our state and local government customers include state transportation departments, metropolitan authorities, cities, municipal agencies, school districts and public universities. We derived approximately 9% of our revenues from federal governmental agencies during 2010. These agencies have included the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Air Force.

        Substantial backlog that provides a significant base of new project opportunities.    We believe our substantial backlog of uncompleted construction work provides us with visibility into our future performance. We include a construction project in our backlog at such time as a contract is awarded or a letter of commitment is obtained and adequate construction funding is in place. As a result, we believe the backlog figures are firm, subject only to the cancellation provisions contained in the various contracts. Historically, these provisions have not had a material adverse effect on us.

        As of December 31, 2010 we had a construction backlog of $4.3 billion, consistent with a backlog of $4.3 billion at December 31, 2009 and compared to $6.7 billion at December 31, 2008. We estimate that approximately $2.2 billion or 51% of our backlog at December 31, 2010 will not be completed in 2011. In addition, we have pending awards and prospects for both public and private sector customers that could enter backlog in the near future.

        Experienced, proven management team and highly skilled workforce.    Our senior management team and workforce bring significant industry work experience and specialized project expertise to our project operations. Our senior executive management team has an average of more than 30 years of industry experience having spent most of their careers with our company. Under the current management team's leadership, we have grown our revenues and income, while significantly diversifying our revenue base into new end markets and geographies.


Our Business Strategy

        We are committed to our tradition of providing high-quality construction services to both public and private agencies throughout the world, while increasing value to our shareholders. Major elements of our business strategy are as follows:

        Seek large civil construction projects throughout the United States.    We believe the Civil segment provides significant opportunities for growth due to an aging U.S. infrastructure. More than $2.2 trillion

of construction spending is needed over the next five years to bring the nation's infrastructure into a state of good repair. In addition to existing funding for public work programs, the multi-billion dollar economic stimulus package approved by the U.S. government in 2009 provides substantial funding for civil construction, public healthcare and public education projects over the next several years. We have been active in civil construction since 1894 and have expertise in large, complex civil construction projects and are currently pursuing some of the most significant projects across the U.S.

        Continue to leverage our core competencies to obtain profitable contracts within our Building segment.    Our construction business involves making significant estimates and assumptions in the normal course of business relating to our contracts and our joint venture contracts. Our cost estimates of contracts are highly detailed. We believe our success within the Building segment results from our proven ability to manage and perform large, complex projects with aggressive fast-track schedules, while providing accurate budgeting forecasts and strict quality control. Our reputation for completing projects on time and within budget is a significant competitive advantage within the markets in which we operate. We will continue to leverage this competitive advantage as we pursue all types of building projects, including public works opportunities.

        Pursue expansion opportunities within the Management Services segment.    Black Construction, one of our subsidiaries and the largest contractor on the island of Guam, is expected to generate a significant portion of its future revenues from the construction of facilities during the planned expansion of the United States military's presence in Guam. This is one of several programs expected to generate over $10 billion in construction spending in Guam over the next five years. In addition, we believe we are well positioned to capture additional management services projects that involve long-term contracts and provide a recurring source of revenues as the level of government expenditures for defense and homeland security has increased in response to the global threat of terrorism. We have proven our ability to meet challenging demands with various U.S. government agencies and intend to leverage this proficiency to secure additional contracts going forward.

        Strategically evaluate acquisitions.    Our management team is focused on continuing to pursue acquisitions across all of our business segments as part of our growth strategy. We have demonstrated past success with the integration of numerous companies, including Tutor-Saliba, James A. Cummings, Inc., Cherry Hill Construction, Inc., Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. and Keating Building Corporation. In November 2010 and January 2011, we acquired Superior Gunite and Fisk Electric Company, respectively, in an effort to achieve greater vertical integration and higher margins by increasing the percentage of work we self-perform in our building and civil operations. We continue to actively identify and screen potential acquisition targets to enhance our geographic presence and strengthen our self performance capabilities.

        On October 20, 2010, we sold, through a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, $300,000,000 of our 75/8% Senior Notes due 2018, all of which are eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Notes. We refer to these notes as "Old Notes" in this prospectus.

        Simultaneously with the private placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Old Notes (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to use our reasonable best efforts to cause a registration statement for substantially identical notes, which will be issued in exchange for the Old Notes, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and to complete the exchange offer within 365 days after the issue date of the Old Notes. We refer to the notes to be registered under this exchange offer registration statement as "Exchange Notes" and collectively with the Old Notes, we refer to them as the "notes" in this prospectus. You may exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in this exchange offer.

Conditions on the Exchange Offer

 

Our obligation to accept for exchange, or to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Old Notes is subject to certain customary conditions, including our determination that the exchange offer does not violate any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the Staff of the SEC or any regulatory authority or other foreign, federal, state or local government agency or court of competent jurisdiction, some of which may be waived by us. We currently expect that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that no waivers will be necessary. See "Exchange Offer—Conditions on the Exchange Offer."

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes held in the Form of Book-Entry Interests

You may tender your outstanding Old Notes by instructing your broker or bank where you keep the Old Notes to tender them for you. In some cases you may be asked to submit the letter of transmittal that may accompany this prospectus. By tendering your Old Notes you will be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to be bound by the terms set forth under "Exchange Offer." Your outstanding Old Notes must be tendered in multiples of $1,000.

 

In order for your tender to be considered valid, the exchange agent must receive a confirmation of book-entry transfer of your outstanding Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, under the procedure described in this prospectus under the heading "Exchange Offer," on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in, and incorporated by reference in, this prospectus before deciding whether to participate in the exchange offer. The risks described below are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our fiscal condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such case, you may lose all or part of your original investment. Along with the risks and uncertainties described below, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled "Risk factors" in our 2010 Form 10-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer and Holding the Exchange Notes

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness which could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes.

        We currently have, and upon consummation of the exchange offer, will continue to have, a substantial amount of indebtedness. We may also incur significant additional indebtedness in the future. Our substantial indebtedness may:

    make it difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations, including making scheduled principal and interest payments on the notes and our other indebtedness;

    limit our ability to borrow additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

    limit our ability to use our cash flow or obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general business purposes;

    require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to make debt service payments;

    limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business and industry;

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our less leveraged competitors; and

    increase our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness. This could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness.

        We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture limits, but does not prohibit, us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the notes and the guarantees, the holders of that indebtedness will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the notes and the guarantees in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

        Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under our senior secured revolving credit facility that is not waived by the required lenders, and the remedies

sought by the holders of such indebtedness could prohibit us from making payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the notes and could substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including our senior secured revolving credit facility), we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. More specifically, the lenders under our senior secured revolving credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets, and we could be forced into bankruptcy, if applicable to us, or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to seek waivers from the required lenders under the senior secured revolving credit facility to avoid being in default. If we breach covenants under our senior secured revolving credit facility and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under the revolving credit facility, the lenders could exercise their rights as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy, to the extent applicable to us, or liquidation. No assurance can be given that, if we breach covenants under our revolving credit facility and our creditors seek to enforce their rights under the federal bankruptcy laws, that a forum will be available to creditors. See "Description of Other Indebtedness" and "Description of Exchange Notes."

The lenders under our senior secured revolving credit facility will have the discretion to release the guarantors under the revolving credit facility in a variety of circumstances which will cause those guarantors to be released from their guarantees of the notes.

        While any obligations under our senior secured revolving credit facility remain outstanding, any guarantee of the notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the notes offered hereby if the related guarantor is no longer a guarantor of the obligations under the revolving credit facility. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Guarantees." The lenders under the revolving credit facility will have the discretion to release the guarantees under the revolving credit facility in a variety of circumstances. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the notes.

The Exchange Notes and the guarantees will be unsecured and effectively subordinated to our and the guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness.

        The Exchange Notes and the guarantees will be general unsecured obligations ranking effectively junior in right of payment to all of our existing and future secured indebtedness and that of each guarantor, including indebtedness under our senior secured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the indenture governing the Exchange Notes will permit us to incur additional secured indebtedness in the future. In the event that we or a guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any indebtedness that is effectively senior to the Exchange Notes and the guarantees will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of the guarantor, as applicable, securing such indebtedness before any payment may be made with respect to the Exchange Notes or the affected guarantees. Holders of the Exchange Notes will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the Exchange Notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets.

Table of Contents


Claims of noteholders will be structurally subordinate to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

        The Exchange Notes will not be guaranteed by our non U.S. subsidiaries and certain future subsidiaries that we designate as "unrestricted" in accordance with the terms of the indenture. Accordingly, claims of holders of the Exchange Notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of these non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors. All obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of these subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to us or a guarantor of the Exchange Notes. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the business of a subsidiary that is not a guarantor, creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the Exchange Notes. In any of these events, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the Exchange Notes with respect to the assets of that subsidiary.

A subsidiary guarantee could be voided if it constitutes a fraudulent transfer under U.S. bankruptcy or similar state law, which would prevent the holders of the notes from relying on that subsidiary to satisfy claims.

        Under U.S. bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee can be voided, or claims under the guarantee may be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee or, in some states, when payments become due under the guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the guarantee and:

    was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence;

    was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay those debts as they mature.

        A guarantee may also be voided, without regard to these factors, if a court finds that the guarantor entered into the guarantee with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors. A court would likely find that a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee if the guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the guarantees. If a court were to void a guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining guarantors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from the subsidiary guarantor.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the governing law. Generally, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

    the present fair saleable value of its assets is less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

        Each subsidiary guarantee will contain a provision intended to limit the guarantor's liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its subsidiary guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer. This provision may not be effective to protect the subsidiary

15

guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law. In a recent Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to protect the guarantees.

Upon a change of control, we may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture governing the notes, which would violate the terms of the notes.

        Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of the notes will have the right to require us to purchase all or any part of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. We may not have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy all of obligations under the notes in the event of a change in control. Our failure to purchase the notes as required under the indenture would result in a default under the indenture and a cross-default under our senior secured revolving credit facility, each of which could have material adverse consequences for us and the holders of the notes. In addition, the revolving credit facility provides that a change of control is a default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under it. See "Description of Exchange Notes—Change of Control."

Your ability to transfer the Exchange Notes offered hereby will be restricted and may be further limited by the absence of an active trading market.

        The Exchange Notes are a new issue of securities and there is no established trading market for them, or for the Old Notes. We do not intend to apply for the notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. You may not be able to sell your notes at a particular time or at favorable prices. As a result, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any trading market for the Exchange Notes or as to whether any market will develop or be maintained. Accordingly, you may be required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the Exchange Notes indefinitely. If a trading market were to develop, future trading prices of the Exchange Notes may be volatile and will depend on many factors, including:

    the number of holders of Exchange Notes;

    our operating performance and financial condition;

    the market for similar securities;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the Exchange Notes; and

    prevailing interest rates.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of these securities. We cannot assure you that the market for the Exchange Notes will be free from similar disruptions. Any such disruptions could have an adverse effect on holders of the Exchange Notes.

Holders of Old Notes who fail to exchange their Old Notes in the exchange offer will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer.

        If you do not exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Old Notes. The restrictions on transfer of your Old Notes arise because we issued the Old Notes under exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the Old Notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or offered and sold under an exemption from these requirements. We do not plan to register the Old Notes under the Securities Act. For further information regarding the consequences of tendering your Old Notes in the exchange offer, see the discussion below under the caption "Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Table of Contents


You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable Exchange Notes.

        Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for Old Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of book-entry transfer of Old Notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, as depositary, including an Agent's Message (as defined herein). We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Old Notes for exchange. Exchange Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but we do not accept for exchange will, following consummation of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions under the Securities Act and, upon consummation of the exchange offer, certain registration and other rights under the Registration Rights Agreement will terminate. See "Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Old Notes" and "Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

Some holders who exchange their Old Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

        If you exchange your Old Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        This exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive outstanding securities in like principal amount, the form and terms of which are substantially the same as the form and terms of the Exchange Notes, except as otherwise described in this prospectus. The Old Notes surrendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes will be retired and cancelled. Accordingly, no additional debt will result from the exchange offer. We will bear the expense of the exchange offer.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose of the Exchange Offer

        The exchange offer is designed to provide holders of Old Notes with an opportunity to acquire Exchange Notes which, unlike the Old Notes, will be freely transferable at all times, subject to any restrictions on transfer imposed by state "blue sky" laws and provided that the holder is not our affiliate within the meaning of the Securities Act and represents that the Exchange Notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of the holder's business and the holder is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes.

        The Old Notes were originally issued and sold on October 20, 2010, to the initial purchasers, pursuant to the purchase agreement dated October 15, 2010. The Old Notes were issued and sold in a transaction not registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The concurrent resale of the Old Notes by the initial purchasers to investors was done in reliance upon the exemptions provided by Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. The Old Notes may not be reoffered, resold or transferred other than (i) to us or our subsidiaries, (ii) to a qualified institutional buyer in compliance with Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, (iii) outside the United States to a non-U.S. person within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iv) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (if available) or (v) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

        In connection with the original issuance and sale of the Old Notes, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the exchange by us of the Exchange Notes for the Old Notes, pursuant to the exchange offer. The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will file with the SEC an exchange offer registration statement on an appropriate form under the Securities Act and offer to holders of Old Notes who are able to make certain representations the opportunity to exchange their Old Notes for Exchange Notes.

        Under existing interpretations by the Staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties in other transactions, the Exchange Notes would, in general, be freely transferable after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act; provided, however, that in the case of broker-dealers participating in the exchange offer, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act must be delivered by such broker-dealers in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes. We have agreed to furnish a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to any such broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange offer. A broker-dealer that delivers such a prospectus to purchasers in connection with such resales will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act and will be bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement (including certain indemnification rights and obligations).

        We do not intend to seek our own interpretation regarding the exchange offer, and we cannot assure you that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the Exchange Notes as it has in other interpretations to third parties.

        Each holder of Old Notes that exchanges such Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will be deemed to have made certain representations, including representations that (i) any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of Exchange Notes and (iii) it is not our affiliate as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

19


Table of Contents

        If the holder is not a broker-dealer, it will be required to represent that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of Old Notes or Exchange Notes. If the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer; Period for Tendering Outstanding Old Notes

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus, we will accept any and all Old Notes that were acquired pursuant to Rule 144A or Regulation S validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders may tender some or all of their Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

        The form and terms of the Exchange Notes are the same as the form and terms of the outstanding Old Notes except that:

            (1)   the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and will not have legends restricting their transfer;

            (2)   the Exchange Notes will not contain the registration rights and liquidated damages provisions contained in the outstanding Old Notes; and

            (3)   interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the last interest date on which interest was paid on your Old Notes.

The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Old Notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.

        We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

        We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Old Notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice of our acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Notes from us.

        If any tendered Old Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of specified other events set forth in this prospectus, the certificates for any unaccepted Old Notes will be promptly returned, without expense, to the tendering holder.

        Holders who tender Old Notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than transfer taxes in certain circumstances, in connection with the exchange offer. See "Fees and expenses" and "Transfer taxes" below.

        The exchange offer will remain open for at least 20 full business days. The term "expiration date" will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                        , 2011, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term "expiration date" will mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

20


Table of Contents

        To extend the exchange offer, prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date, we will:

            (1)   notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral notice (promptly confirmed in writing) or written notice, and

            (2)   mail to the registered holders an announcement of any extension, and issue a notice by press release or other public announcement before such expiration date.

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

            (1)   if any of the conditions below under the heading "—Conditions on the Exchange Offer" shall have not been satisfied,

              (a)   to delay accepting any Old Notes,

              (b)   to extend the exchange offer, or

              (c)   to terminate the exchange offer, or

            (2)   to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner, provided however, that if we amend the exchange offer to make a material change, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend the exchange offer, if necessary, to keep the exchange offer open for at least five business days after such amendment or waiver; provided further, that if we amend the exchange offer to change the percentage of Old Notes being exchanged or the consideration being offered, we will extend the exchange offer, if necessary, to keep the exchange offer open for at least ten business days after such amendment or waiver.

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice to the registered holders.

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes Through Brokers and Banks

        Since the Old Notes are represented by global book-entry notes, DTC, as depositary, or its nominee is treated as the registered holder of the Old Notes and will be the only entity that can tender your Old Notes for Exchange Notes. Therefore, to tender Old Notes subject to this exchange offer and to obtain Exchange Notes, you must instruct the institution where you keep your Old Notes to tender your Old Notes on your behalf so that they are received on or prior to the expiration of this exchange offer.

        The letter of transmittal that may accompany this prospectus may be used by you to give such instructions.

        YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE BROKER OR BANK WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR OLD NOTES TO DETERMINE THE PREFERRED PROCEDURE.

        IF YOU WISH TO ACCEPT THIS EXCHANGE OFFER, PLEASE INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER OR ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE IN TIME FOR YOUR OLD NOTES TO BE TENDERED BEFORE THE 5:00 PM (NEW YORK CITY TIME) DEADLINE ON                        , 2011.

Deemed Representations

        To participate in the exchange offer, we require that you represent to us that:

            (1)   you or any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes in the exchange offer is acquiring them in the ordinary course of business;

            (2)   neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes in the exchange offer is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the Exchange Notes within the meaning of the federal securities laws;

21


Table of Contents

            (3)   neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes has an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer;

            (4)   neither you nor any other person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes is our "affiliate" as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and

            (5)   if you or another person acquiring Exchange Notes in exchange for your Old Notes is a broker-dealer and you acquired the Old Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, you acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

BY TENDERING YOUR OLD NOTES YOU ARE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THESE REPRESENTATIONS.

        Broker-dealers who cannot make the representations in item (5) of the paragraph above cannot use this exchange offer prospectus in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer.

        If you are our "affiliate," as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, if you are a broker-dealer who acquired your Old Notes in the initial offering and not as a result of market-making or trading activities, or if you are engaged in or intend to engage in or have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of Exchange Notes acquired in the exchange offer, you or that person:

            (1)   may not rely on the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC and therefore may not participate in the exchange offer; and

            (2)   must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom when reselling the Old Notes.

You may tender some or all of your Old Notes in this exchange offer. However, your Old Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

        When you tender your outstanding Old Notes and we accept them, the tender will be a binding agreement between you and us as described in this prospectus.

        The method of delivery of outstanding Old Notes and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk.

        We will decide all questions about the validity, form, eligibility, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes, and our reasonable determination will be final and binding on you. We reserve the absolute right to:

            (1)   reject any and all tenders of any particular Old Note not properly tendered;

            (2)   refuse to accept any Old Note if, in our reasonable judgment or the judgment of our counsel, the acceptance would be unlawful; and

            (3)   waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the exchange offer as to any particular Old Notes before the expiration of the offer.

Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer will be final and binding on all parties. You must cure any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes as we will reasonably determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to notify you or any defect or irregularity with respect to your tender of Old Notes. If we waive any terms or conditions pursuant to (3) above with respect to a noteholder, we will extend the same waiver to all noteholders with respect to that term or condition being waived.

Procedures for Brokers and Custodian Banks; DTC ATOP Account

        In order to accept this exchange offer on behalf of a holder of Old Notes you must submit or cause your DTC participant to submit an Agent's Message as described below.

        The exchange agent, on our behalf will seek to establish an Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP") account with respect to the outstanding Old Notes at DTC promptly after the delivery of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a DTC participant, including your broker or bank, may make book-entry tender of outstanding Old Notes by causing the book-entry transfer of such Old Notes into our ATOP account in accordance with DTC's procedures for such transfers. Concurrently with the delivery of Old Notes, an Agent's Message in connection with such book-entry transfer must be transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent on or prior to 5:00 pm, New York City Time on the expiration date. The confirmation of a book entry transfer into the ATOP account as described above is referred to herein as a "Book-Entry Confirmation."

        The term "Agent's Message" means a message transmitted by the DTC participants to DTC, and thereafter transmitted by DTC to the exchange agent, forming a part of the Book-Entry Confirmation which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC described in such Agent's Message stating that such participant and beneficial holder agree to be bound by the terms of this exchange offer.

        Each Agent's Message must include the following information:

            (1)   Name of the beneficial owner tendering such Old Notes;

            (2)   Account number of the beneficial owner tendering such Old Notes;

            (3)   Principal amount of Old Notes tendered by such beneficial owner; and

            (4)   A confirmation that the beneficial holder of the Old Notes tendered has made the representations for our benefit set forth under "—Deemed Representations" above.

        BY SENDING AN AGENT'S MESSAGE THE DTC PARTICIPANT IS DEEMED TO HAVE CERTIFIED THAT THE BENEFICIAL HOLDER FOR WHOM NOTES ARE BEING TENDERED HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.

        The delivery of Old Notes through DTC, and any transmission of an Agent's Message through ATOP, is at the election and risk of the person tendering Old Notes. We will ask the exchange agent to instruct DTC to promptly return those Old Notes, if any, that were tendered through ATOP but were not accepted by us, to the DTC participant that tendered such Old Notes on behalf of holders of the Old Notes.

Acceptance of Outstanding Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of Exchange Notes

        We will accept validly tendered Old Notes when the conditions to the exchange offer have been satisfied or we have waived them. We will have accepted your validly tendered Old Notes when we have given oral or written notice to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Notes from us. If we do not accept any tendered Old Notes for exchange by book-entry transfer because of an invalid tender or other valid reason, we will credit the Notes to an account maintained with DTC promptly after the exchange offer terminates or expires.

        THE AGENT'S MESSAGE MUST BE TRANSMITTED TO EXCHANGE AGENT ON OR BEFORE 5:00 PM, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.

Withdrawal Rights

        You may withdraw your tender of outstanding notes at any time before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

        For a withdrawal to be effective, you should contact your bank or broker where your Old Notes are held and have them send an ATOP notice of withdrawal so that it is received by the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Such notice of withdrawal must:

            (1)   specify the name of the person that tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn;

            (2)   identify the Old Notes to be withdrawn, including the CUSIP number and principal amount at maturity of the Old Notes; specify the name and number of an account at the DTC to which your withdrawn Old Notes can be credited.

We will decide all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of the notices and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any tendered Old Notes that you withdraw will not be considered to have been validly tendered. We will promptly return any outstanding Old Notes that have been tendered but not exchanged, or credit them to the DTC account. You may re-tender properly withdrawn Old Notes by following one of the procedures described above before the expiration date.

Conditions on the Exchange Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, or any extension of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any outstanding Old Notes and may terminate the exchange offer (whether or not any Old Notes have been accepted for exchange) or amend the exchange offer, if any of the following conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, or has not been waived by us in our sole reasonable discretion, prior to the expiration date:

    there is threatened, instituted or pending any action or proceeding before, or any injunction, order or decree issued by, any court or governmental agency or other governmental regulatory or administrative agency or commission:

            (1)   seeking to restrain or prohibit the making or completion of the exchange offer or any other transaction contemplated by the exchange offer, or assessing or seeking any damages as a result of this transaction; or

            (2)   resulting in a material delay in our ability to accept for exchange or exchange some or all of the Old Notes in the exchange offer; or

            (3)   any statute, rule, regulation, order or injunction has been sought, proposed, introduced, enacted, promulgated or deemed applicable to the exchange offer or any of the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign; or

    any action has been taken, proposed or threatened, by any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, that, in our sole reasonable judgment, would directly or indirectly result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) above or, in our sole reasonable judgment, would result in the holders of Exchange Notes having obligations with respect to resales and transfers of Exchange Notes which are greater than those described in the interpretation of the SEC referred to above, or would otherwise make it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange offer; or the following has occurred:

            (1)   any general suspension of or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market; or

            (2)   any limitation by a governmental authority which adversely affects our ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer; or

24


Table of Contents

            (3)   a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or any limitation by any governmental agency or authority which adversely affects the extension of credit; or

            (4)   a commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States, or, in the case of any of the preceding events existing at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer, a material acceleration or worsening of these calamities; or

    any change, or any development involving a prospective change, has occurred or been threatened in our business, financial condition, operations or prospects and those of our subsidiaries taken as a whole that is or may be adverse to us, or we have become aware of facts that have or may have an adverse impact on the value of the Old Notes or the Exchange Notes, which in our sole reasonable judgment in any case makes it inadvisable to proceed with the exchange offer and/or with such acceptance for exchange or with such exchange; or

    there shall occur a change in the current interpretation by the Staff of the SEC which permits the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for Old Notes to be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than broker-dealers and any such holder which is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such Exchange Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders' business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such Exchange Notes; or

    any law, statute, rule or regulation shall have been adopted or enacted which, in our reasonable judgment, would impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or

    a stop order shall have been issued by the SEC or any state securities authority suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement, or proceedings shall have been initiated or, to our knowledge, threatened for that purpose, or any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we shall, in our sole reasonable discretion, deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer as contemplated hereby; or

    we have received an opinion of counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that there exists any actual or threatened legal impediment (including a default or prospective default under an agreement, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which we are a party or by which we are bound) to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the exchange offer.

If we determine in our sole reasonable discretion that any of the foregoing events or conditions has occurred or exists or has not been satisfied, we may, subject to applicable law, terminate the exchange offer (whether or not any Old Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any such condition or otherwise amend the terms of the exchange offer in any respect. If such waiver or amendment constitutes a material change to the exchange offer, we will promptly disclose such waiver or amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the registered holders of the Old Notes and will extend the exchange offer to the extent required by Rule 14e-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

        These conditions are for our sole benefit and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions, or we may waive them, in whole or in part, in our sole reasonable discretion, provided that we will not waive any condition with respect to an individual holder of Old Notes unless we waive that condition for all such holders. Any reasonable determination made by us concerning an event, development or circumstance described or referred to above will be final and binding on all parties. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be a waiver of our rights and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time before the expiration of the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent

        Wilmington Trust FSB has been appointed as Exchange Agent in connection with the Exchange Offer. Questions and requests for assistance, as well as requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal, should be directed to the Exchange Agent at its offices at Wilmington Trust FSB, c/o Wilmington Trust Company, Corporate Capital Markets, Rodney Square North, 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1626. The Exchange Agent's telephone number is (302) 636-6181 and facsimile number is (302) 636-4139.

Fees and Expenses

        The principal solicitation is being made through DTC by Wilmington Trust FSB, as exchange agent. We will pay the exchange agent customary fees for its services, reimburse the exchange agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the provisions of these services and pay other registration expenses, including registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities and state blue sky securities laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery services and telephone, fees and disbursements to our counsel, application and filing fees and any fees and disbursements to our independent certified public accountants. We will not make any payment to brokers, dealers, or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer except for reimbursement of mailing expenses.

        Additional solicitations may be made by telephone, facsimile or in person by our and our affiliates' officers, employees and by persons so engaged by the exchange agent.

Accounting Treatment

        The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the existing Old Notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will recognize no gain or loss for accounting purposes. The expenses of the exchange offer will be capitalized and expensed over the term of the Exchange Notes.

Transfer Taxes

        If you tender outstanding Old Notes for exchange you will not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes. However, if you instruct us to register Exchange Notes in the name of, or request that your Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder, you will be responsible for paying any transfer tax owed.

        YOU MAY SUFFER ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU FAIL TO EXCHANGE OUTSTANDING OLD NOTES.

        If you do not tender your outstanding Old Notes, you will not have any further registration rights, except for the rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement and described above, and your Old Notes will continue to be subject to the provisions of the indenture governing the Old Notes regarding transfer and exchange of the Old Notes and the restrictions on transfer of the Old Notes imposed by the Securities Act and state securities laws when we complete the exchange offer. These transfer restrictions are required because the Old Notes were issued under an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, if you do not tender your Old Notes in the exchange offer, your ability to sell your Old Notes could be adversely affected. Once we have completed the exchange offer, holders who have not tendered notes will not continue to be entitled to any increase in interest rate that the indenture governing the Old Notes provides for if we do not complete the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        The Old Notes that are not exchanged for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, the Old Notes may be resold only:

            (1)   to us upon redemption thereof or otherwise;

            (2)   so long as the outstanding securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person inside the United States who is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, which other exemption is based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us;

            (3)   outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or

            (4)   pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

Shelf Registration

        The Registration Rights Agreement also requires that we file a shelf registration statement if:

            (1)   we cannot file a registration statement for the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by law or SEC policy;

            (2)   a law or SEC policy prohibits a holder from participating in the exchange offer;

            (3)   a holder cannot resell the Exchange Notes it acquires in the exchange offer without delivering a prospectus and this prospectus is not appropriate or available for resales by the holder; or

            (4)   a holder is a broker-dealer and holds notes acquired directly from us or one of our affiliates.

        We will also register the Exchange Notes under the securities laws of jurisdictions that holders may request before offering or selling notes in a public offering. We do not intend to register Exchange Notes in any jurisdiction unless a holder requests that we do so.

        Old Notes may be subject to restrictions on transfer until:

            (1)   a person other than a broker-dealer has exchanged the Old Notes in the exchange offer;

            (2)   a broker-dealer has exchanged the Old Notes in the exchange offer and sells them to a purchaser that receives a prospectus from the broker-dealer on or before the sale;

            (3)   the Old Notes are sold under an effective shelf registration statement that we have filed; or

            (4)   the Old Notes are sold to the public under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES

General

        In this description, references to the "Notes" are to the exchange notes, unless the context otherwise requires. We issued the old notes and will issue the exchange notes pursuant to an indenture dated as of October 20, 2010 (the "Indenture"), among Tutor Perini, as the Issuer, certain subsidiaries of Tutor Perini as guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act").

        The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not restate the Indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the Notes. Copies of the Indenture are available upon written request to the Issuer as described below under "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference." Definitions of certain terms are set forth under "—Certain Definitions."

        Principal of the Notes will be payable, and the Notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of the Issuer, which, unless otherwise provided by the Issuer, will be the offices of the Trustee. Payment of interest will be made by check mailed to the addresses of the noteholders as such addresses appear in the Note register or, at the election of any noteholder in the manner prescribed by the Indenture, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

        The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Terms of the Notes

        We are offering $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, which will mature on November 1, 2018. Subject to compliance with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness," we can issue additional Notes from time to time in the future as part of the same series without consent from holders of the Notes. Any additional Notes that we issue in the future will be identical in all respects to the Notes offered hereby and will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the Indenture, except that Notes issued in the future may have different issuance prices and will have different issuance dates.

        The Notes will bear interest at the rate per annum shown on the cover page of this prospectus from the Issue Date, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semi-annually on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing May 1, 2011, to holders of record at the close of business on the immediately preceding April 15 and October 15, respectively. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Ranking

        The Notes and the Guarantees will rank equally with existing and future unsubordinated obligations of Tutor Perini and the Guarantors, respectively. The Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the obligations of any Subsidiary of the Issuer that is not a Guarantor. If the Issuer or a Guarantor incurs any Indebtedness in the future that provides by its terms that it is subordinated to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as the case may be, the Notes or that Guarantee, as applicable, will rank senior to that Indebtedness.

        The Notes and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Issuer and each of the Guarantors to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness.

Table of Contents

Optional Redemption

        At any time prior to November 1, 2014, the Issuer may redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to the registered address of each holder of Notes or otherwise delivered in accordance with the procedures of DTC, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption (the "Redemption Date"), subject to the rights of the holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

        The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Issuer, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 1, 2014 at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), if redeemed during the twelve month period beginning on November 1 of the years indicated below:

Year
  Redemption
Price
 

2014

    103.813 %

2015

    101.906 %

2016 and thereafter

    100.000 %

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time on or prior to November 1, 2013 the Issuer may, at its option on any one or more occasions, redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 107.625% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with an amount equal to the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that:

            (1)   at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries); and

            (2)   the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

Selection and Notice

        If less than all the Notes issued under the Indenture are to be redeemed at any time, selection of Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as may be required pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Notices of redemption shall be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Notices of redemption may not be conditional. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Guarantees

        The Issuer and each of the Subsidiaries of Tutor Perini that guarantees the obligations of Tutor Perini or any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) under any of the Credit Facilities will deliver a Guarantee on the date that is the later of (x) the Issue Date and (y) the date on which such Subsidiary guarantees the obligations of Tutor Perini or any Domestic Subsidiary (other

29


Table of Contents


than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) under any of the Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the Guarantees, each of the Guarantors will fully and unconditionally guarantee all Obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the Notes on a senior basis. Newly formed or acquired Subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of Tutor Perini or any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) under any of the Credit Facilities are required to become Guarantors, as described under "—Additional Guarantees."

        Each Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without rendering such Guarantee voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes—Federal and state laws allow courts, under certain circumstances, to void guarantees and require note holders to return payments received from guarantors."

        The Guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon any of the following:

    any sale, exchange or transfer by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person or Persons, as a result of which the Restricted Subsidiary is no longer a Subsidiary of the Issuer, of a majority of the Capital Stock of, or all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary, which sale, exchange or transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture;

    the designation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; or

    the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor under the Credit Facilities;

provided, in each such case, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transactions have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted under the Indenture.

Change of Control

        If a Change of Control occurs, each noteholder will have the right to require the Issuer to purchase all or a portion (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such holder's Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date fixed for redemption), in accordance with the provisions of the next paragraph.

        Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall mail a notice to each noteholder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating

    that a Change of Control has occurred and that such noteholder has the right to require the Issuer to purchase such holder's Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on an interest payment date that is on or prior to the date fixed for purchase);

30


Table of Contents

    the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

    the instructions as determined by the Issuer, consistent with the covenant described hereunder, that a noteholder must follow in order to have its Notes purchased.

        The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to the Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under any covenant of the Indenture by virtue of this compliance.

        The Change of Control provision will not require us to make a Change of Control Offer upon the consummation of any transaction contemplated by clauses (1) and (3) of the definition of Change of Control if the party that will own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the Voting Stock of the Company as a result of such transaction is a Permitted Holder. See "—Certain Definitions—Permitted Holders." As a result of the definition of Permitted Holders, a concentration of control in the hands of Permitted Holders would not give rise to a situation where holders could have their Notes repurchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.

        The occurrence of a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Credit Facilities. In addition, the Issuer's ability to purchase the Notes for cash may be limited by the Issuer's then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any purchases required in connection with a Change of Control. The Issuer's failure to purchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the Indenture, which would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Facilities.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of the properties or assets of Tutor Perini and certain of its subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a noteholder to require us to repurchase its Notes as a result of a sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of Tutor Perini and certain subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person or group may be uncertain.

Certain Covenants

        The Indenture will contain certain covenants, including, among others, the following:

    Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur, directly or indirectly, any Indebtedness; provided that the Issuer or any Guarantor may incur Indebtedness if, immediately after giving effect to such incurrence, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is at least 2.0 to 1.0 determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, and the application of proceeds therefrom, had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period (this proviso, the "Coverage Ratio Exception").

        The foregoing paragraph will not prohibit incurrence of the following Indebtedness (collectively, "Permitted Indebtedness"):

            (1)   the Notes issued on the Issue Date and any related Guarantees;

31


Table of Contents

            (2)   Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to the extent outstanding on the Issue Date (other than Indebtedness under the Credit Facility and the Notes and the related Guarantees);

            (3)   Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary under Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (3) not to exceed the greater of (i) 350.0 million and (ii) 30% of the net book value of the accounts receivable of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and calculated on a pro forma basis to give effect to any acquisitions or dispositions of assets made in connection with any transaction on the date of calculation;

            (4)   Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, clause (1) of this paragraph, clause (2) of this paragraph (other than any Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries), this clause (4), clause (13) or clause (20);

            (5)   Indebtedness owed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that

      any such Indebtedness owed by the Issuer shall be subordinated by its terms to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, and any such Indebtedness owed by any Guarantor (other than to the Issuer or any other Guarantor) shall be subordinated by its terms to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

      if such Indebtedness is held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have incurred Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (5);

            (6)   (x) the guarantee by the Issuer or any Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Guarantor and (y) the guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor of Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; provided that, in each case, the Indebtedness being guaranteed is incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception or is Permitted Indebtedness;

            (7)   Hedging Obligations;

            (8)   Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capital Lease Obligations of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance the acquisition, construction or improvement of any assets (including capital expenditures of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary), and Refinancings thereof, in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (8) not to exceed the greater of $125.0 million and 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;

            (9)   Indebtedness of any Foreign Subsidiary in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (9) not to exceed $75.0 million;

            (10) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries represented by worker's compensation claims and other statutory or regulatory obligations, self-insurance obligations, tender, bid, performance, government contract, surety or appeal bonds, standby letters of credit and warranty and contractual service obligations of like nature, trade letters of credit or documentary letters of credit, in each case to the extent incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary;

            (11) customary indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any assets of the Issuer or any

32


Table of Contents


    Restricted Subsidiary (other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such assets for the purpose of financing such acquisition);

            (12) obligations in respect of performance bonds and completion, guarantee, surety and similar bonds in the ordinary course of business;

            (13) Acquired Indebtedness; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either

      the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or

      the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries is equal to or greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

            (14) Indebtedness arising in connection with endorsement of instruments for deposit in the ordinary course of business;

            (15) Indebtedness consisting of Guarantees incurred in the ordinary course of business under repurchase agreements or similar agreements in connection with the financing of sales of goods in the ordinary course of business;

            (16) Indebtedness under surety bonds obtained in connection with the Construction Business;

            (17) Indebtedness owing by the Issuer to CIS consisting of all or any portion of the proceeds of any payments made by the Issuer or Permitted Insureds to CIS as premiums for the insurance policies issued by CIS to the Issuer or such Permitted Insureds, respectively;

            (18) additional Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75.0 million at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (18);

            (19) Indebtedness incurred to finance insurance premiums not to exceed $25.0 million aggregate outstanding at any time;

            (20) Contribution Indebtedness;

            (21) Indebtedness from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within 10 business days of its incurrence; and

            (22) the incurrence of Indebtedness by Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (1) through (22) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception, the Issuer shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness and may divide and classify such Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described and may later reclassify such item into any one or more of the categories of Indebtedness described above and such Indebtedness will be deemed to be incurred under the category into which it was last reclassified (provided that at the time of reclassification it meets the criteria in such category or categories; provided further that Indebtedness under clause (i) of the definition of "Credit Facilities" outstanding on the Issue Date will be deemed to have been incurred in reliance on clause (3) above). The maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies. In determining the amount of Indebtedness incurred or outstanding, the principal amount of any particular Indebtedness of any Person shall be counted only once and any obligation of such Person or any other Person arising under any guarantee, Lien, letter of credit or similar

33


Table of Contents

instrument supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded so long as such other Person could have incurred such obligation hereunder.

        Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock.

        For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this section any other obligation of the obligor on such Indebtedness (or of any other Person who could have incurred such Indebtedness under this section) arising under any Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers' acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation supporting such Indebtedness shall be disregarded to the extent that such Guarantee, Lien or letter of credit, bankers' acceptance or other similar instrument or obligation secures the principal amount of such Indebtedness.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will not, and will not permit any other Guarantor to, incur any Indebtedness that purports to be by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement or instrument governing such Indebtedness) subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Issuer or of such other Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms made subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as applicable, to at least the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

    Limitation on Restricted Payments

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, declare or make a Restricted Payment if:

            (1)   a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

            (2)   the Issuer could not incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Coverage Ratio Exception; or

            (3)   the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment, together with all other Restricted Payments (the amount of any Restricted Payments made in assets other than cash to be valued at its Fair Market Value) declared or made since the Issue Date (other than any Restricted Payment described in clauses (2) through (10) of the next paragraph), would exceed the sum (the "Basket") of

              (a)   50% of the Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from July 1, 2010 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter prior to the date of such Restricted Payment for which internal financial statements are available (or, in case such Consolidated Net Income shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); plus

              (b)   the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from capital contributions or the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, and the Fair Market Value of any property received in exchange for, Qualified Stock, or as a capital contribution, received by the Issuer subsequent to the Issue Date (other than Contribution Amounts, Excluded Contributions, and amounts received in exchange for the issuance of Designated Preferred Stock) or from the issue or sale of debt securities of the Issuer that have been converted or exchanged into Qualified Stock, together with the aggregate cash and Temporary Cash Investments received by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at the time of such conversion or exchange; provided that for purposes of determining the Fair Market Value of property received (other than of any asset with a public trading market) in excess of $25.0 million shall be determined

      by an Independent Financial Advisor, which determination shall be evidenced by an opinion addressed to the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee; plus

              (c)   the amount by which Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock incurred or issued subsequent to the Issue Date is reduced on the Issuer's consolidated balance sheet upon the conversion or exchange (other than by a Subsidiary of the Issuer) into Qualified Stock (less the amount of any cash, or the Fair Market Value of any other asset, distributed by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange); provided that such amount shall not exceed the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date from the issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock; plus

              (d)   to the extent not included in the calculation of the Consolidated Net Income referred to in (a), an amount equal to, without duplication:

        100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the Fair Market Value of assets) received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary upon the sale or other disposition of any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) made by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary since the Issue Date; plus

        the net reduction in Investments (other than Permitted Investments) in any Person resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other Transfers of assets subsequent to the Issue Date, in each case to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Person (including by way of such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary); plus

        if the Basket was reduced as the result of the designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the portion (proportionate to the Issuer's equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated, or liquidated or merged into, a Restricted Subsidiary;

provided that the foregoing shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount of all Investments which previously reduced the Basket.

        The provisions of the foregoing paragraph shall not prohibit the following:

            (1)   dividends paid within 90 days after the date of declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividend would have been permitted under the Indenture;

            (2)   any Restricted Payment (i) (a) made in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of, Qualified Stock ("Refunding Capital Stock"), and (b) if the Restricted Payment is the repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of Equity Interests ("Retired Capital Stock"), then if immediately prior to the Restricted Payment with respect to such Retired Capital Stock the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock was permitted pursuant to clause (8) immediately below or sub clause (iii) of this clause (2) in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that was declarable and payable on such Retired Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement, (ii) with respect to any Subordinated Obligations, in exchange for or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent incurrence and sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer) of Refinancing Indebtedness thereof; provided that (x) no such exchange or issuance and sale shall increase the Basket and (y) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof, (iii), to holders of any class or series of Designated Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) issued by the Issuer after the Issue Date; provided that (x) the Issuer could have incurred at least $1.00 of

            (5)   cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock of the Issuer; provided, however, that any such cash payment shall not be for the purpose of evading the limitation of the covenant described under this subheading (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors);

    Limitation on Liens

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, incur any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness on any asset of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except Permitted Liens, unless the Notes and the Guarantees are secured on an equal and ratable basis with the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien; provided that if the obligations so secured are subordinated in right of payment by their terms to the Notes or a Guarantee, the Lien securing such obligations will also have subordinated Lien priority by its terms to the Lien securing the Notes and the Guarantees at least to a comparable extent.

    Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, in one transaction or series of related transactions, Transfer any of its assets to, or purchase any assets from, or enter into any contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any affiliate of the Issuer (an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless the terms thereof, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of such transaction in arm's-length dealings with a Person that is not such an affiliate.

        The Board of Directors must approve each Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or other assets or services with a Fair Market Value in excess of $20.0 million. This approval must be evidenced by a board resolution that states that such board has determined that the transaction complies with the foregoing provisions.

        If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into an Affiliate Transaction that involves aggregate payments or other assets or services with a Fair Market Value in excess of $50.0 million, then prior to the consummation of that Affiliate Transaction, the Issuer must obtain a favorable opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor that it has determined such Affiliate Transaction to be fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company, and deliver that opinion to the Trustee.

        The provisions of the three foregoing paragraphs will not prohibit the following:

            (1)   transactions exclusively between, among or solely for the benefit of (a) the Issuer and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, in each case, that no affiliate of the Issuer (other than another Restricted Subsidiary) owns more than 10% of the Capital Stock in any such Restricted Subsidiary;

            (2)   customary director, officer and employee compensation (including bonuses) and other benefits (including retirement, health, stock option and other benefit plans) and indemnification arrangements, and agreements to register securities of directors, officers, employees or other affiliates, in each case approved by the Board of Directors;

            (3)   Restricted Payments which are made in accordance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" and Investments constituting Permitted Investments;

37


Table of Contents

            (7)   purchases and sales of raw materials or Inventory in the ordinary course of business on market terms;

            (8)   the incurrence of any Indebtedness to the extent that (i) at least 80% amount of such Indebtedness is issued to Persons that are not affiliates of the Issuer and (ii) the terms and conditions on which such affiliates purchase such Indebtedness are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Issuer than the terms on which Persons that are not affiliates of the Issuer purchase such Indebtedness; or

            (9)   any transactions or agreements with Affiliates in existence on the Issue Date as described in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and performance of the obligations of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries as required or permitted by the terms of such transactions and agreements, including, without limitation, any amendments thereto entered into after the date of the Issue Date; provided, however, that the terms of any such amendment are not less favorable, in any material respect, to the Issuer than the terms of the relevant agreement in effect prior to any such amendment, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer; or

            (10) transactions in which the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, delivers to the Trustee a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or meets the requirements of the first paragraph of this covenant.

    Limitation on Asset Sales

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

              (i)  the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets included in such Asset Sale; and

             (ii)  at least 75% of the total consideration received in such Asset Sale consists of cash, Temporary Cash Investments or assets referred to in clause (c) below, in each case, valued at the Fair Market Value thereof, or a combination of the foregoing.

        For purposes of clause (ii) above, the following shall be deemed to be cash:

    the amount (without duplication) of any liability (other than Subordinated Obligations) that would be recorded on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary that is expressly (i) assumed by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) is expunged by the holder of such liability, and with respect to which, in each case, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is unconditionally released from further liability with respect thereto;

    the amount of any obligations or securities received from such Transferee that are within 180 days repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Temporary Cash Investments (to the extent of the cash or Temporary Cash Investments actually so received); and

    any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, not to exceed the greater of (x) $75.0 million or (y) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

38


Table of Contents

        If at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with any Asset Sale is repaid, converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash or Temporary Cash Investments (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then the date of such repayment, conversion, sale or other disposition shall be deemed to constitute the date of an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this covenant.

        If the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary shall, no later than 365 days following the consummation thereof, apply an amount equal to all or any of the Net Available Proceeds therefrom as follows:

            (a)   to repay or otherwise retire amounts owing under the Credit Facilities in accordance with the Credit Facilities;

            (b)   to repay or otherwise retire amounts owing under other Indebtedness (other than Subordinated Obligations) that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by the Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; and/or

            (c)   to make (i) an Investment in or expenditure for assets (including Capital Stock of any Person) that replace the assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in assets (including Capital Stock of any Person) that will be used in the Permitted Business and (ii) capital expenditures that will be used in the Permitted Business (or, in each case of (i) and (ii), enter into a binding commitment for any such investment or expenditure); provided that such binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Proceeds from the date of such commitment until and only until the earlier of (x) the date on which such investment or expenditure is consummated and (y) the 180th day following the expiration of the aforementioned 365-day period. If the Investment or expenditure contemplated by such binding commitment is not consummated on or before the 180th day, such commitment shall be deemed not to have been a permitted application of Net Available Proceeds.

        The amount of Net Available Proceeds not applied or invested as provided in this paragraph will constitute "Excess Proceeds."

        When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds equals or exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuer will be required to make an offer to purchase from all noteholders an aggregate principal amount of Notes and, if the Issuer is required to do so under the terms of any other Indebtedness ranking pari passu with such Notes, such other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis with the Notes, equal to the amount of such Excess Proceeds (a "Net Proceeds Offer") in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

        The offer price for the Notes will be payable in cash and will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date such Net Proceeds Offer is consummated (the "Offered Price"). If the aggregate Offered Price of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by noteholders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, Notes to be purchased will be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Net Proceeds Offer in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reduced to zero.

        To the extent that the aggregate Offered Price of Notes tendered pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer (and if applicable, the aggregate amount of pari passu Indebtedness being repaid, on a pro rata basis with the Notes) is less than the Excess Proceeds (such shortfall constituting a "Net Proceeds Deficiency"), the Issuer may use the Net Proceeds Deficiency, or a portion thereof, for general corporate purposes.

        In the event of the Transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction covered by and effected in accordance with the covenant described under "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets," the Transferee shall be deemed to have sold for cash at Fair Market Value the assets of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries not so Transferred for purposes of this covenant, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale (with such Fair Market Value being deemed to be Net Available Proceeds for such purpose).

        The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with any purchase of Notes pursuant to the Indenture. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Indenture by virtue of this compliance.

    Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

            (c)   Transfer any of its assets to the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

except:

            (1)   any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement as in effect at or entered into on the Issue Date (including the Indenture and the Credit Facilities), as such encumbrance or restriction is in effect on the Issue Date;

            (2)   any Lien permitted under the Indenture that restricts the Transfer of assets which are subject to such Lien;

            (3)   restrictions on the Transfer of assets imposed under any agreement to sell such assets permitted under the Indenture pending the closing of such sale;

            (4)   any instrument governing Acquired Indebtedness, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the assets of any Person, other than the Person or the assets of the Person so acquired;

            (5)   customary provisions in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements and other similar agreements that restrict the Transfer of ownership interests in or the payment of dividends or distributions from such partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or similar Person;

            (6)   Purchase Money Indebtedness and Capital Lease Obligations incurred pursuant to clause (8) of the definition of "Permitted Indebtedness" that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (c) above on the assets acquired;

            (8)   covenants to maintain net worth, total assets or liquidity and similar financial responsibility covenants under contracts with customers or suppliers in the ordinary course of business;

            (13) indentures, agreements, notes, instruments and other documents governing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Indenture so long as the restrictions imposed pursuant to such Indebtedness are no more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those restrictions contained in the Credit Facility on the Issue Date; and

            (14) any restriction imposed by applicable law, rule, regulation or order.

    Additional Guarantees

        The Issuer will cause any Subsidiary, whether currently existing, or subsequently acquired or created, that Guarantees the Issuer's obligations or the obligations of any Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) under any of the Credit Facilities or any other Indebtedness to fully and unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer's obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms set forth in the Indenture. Thereafter, such Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of the Indenture until released in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

        Whether or not the Issuer is then subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer will electronically file with the Commission, so long as the Notes are outstanding, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) if the Issuer were so subject, and such documents will be filed with the Commission on or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the Issuer would be required so to file such documents if the Issuer were so subject, unless, in any case, if such filings are not then permitted by the Commission.

        If such filings with the Commission are not then permitted by the Commission, or such filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Issuer will, within 15 days of each Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to noteholders, as their names and addresses appear in the Note register, without cost to such noteholders, and file with the Trustee copies of, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Issuer would be required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Issuer were subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d), and, promptly upon written request, supply copies of such documents to any prospective holder or beneficial owner at the Issuer's cost.

        So long as the rules and regulations of the Commission would allow (including pursuant to any applicable exemptive relief) the Issuer to file periodic reports or information (if they were required by the Exchange Act to file such reports or information) on a consolidated or combined basis, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied their requirements in the above paragraphs if the Issuer files the reports and other information of the types otherwise so required within the applicable time periods. The Issuer also will comply with the other provisions of TIA § 314(a).

    Conduct of Business

        The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than the Permitted Business.

Covenant Suspension

        During any period of time that (i) the Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a "Covenant Suspension"), the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants (the "Suspended Covenants") described under:

            (1)   "Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness";

            (2)   "Limitation on Restricted Payments";

            (3)   "Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates";

            (4)   "Limitation on Asset Sales";

            (5)   "Limitation on Dividend and Other Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries";

            (6)   "Conduct of Business"; and

            (7)   "clause (C)(1) of "Merger, Consolidation and Asset Sales."

        In the event that the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the "Reversion Date") (a) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating or (b) the Issuer or any of its affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture with respect to future events. The period beginning on the day of a Covenant Suspension Event and ending on a Reversion Date is called a "Suspension Period." The ability of the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries to make Restricted Payments after the time of such withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default will be calculated as if the covenant governing Restricted Payments had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date.

Events of Default

        Any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default:

            (1)   default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on any Note;

            (2)   default in the payment when due of principal on any Note, whether upon maturity, acceleration, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise;

            (3)   failure to perform or comply with the covenant described under "—Change of Control";

            (4)   failure to perform or comply with any covenant, agreement or warranty in the Indenture (other than any specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) which failure continues for 60 days after written notice thereof has been given to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes;

            (5)   default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer

44


Table of Contents


    or any Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness now exists or is created after the Issue Date, which

      is caused by a failure to pay such Indebtedness at Stated Maturity (after giving effect to any grace period related thereto) (a "Payment Default"); or

      results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its Stated Maturity;

    and in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness as to which a Payment Default or acceleration shall have occurred, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

            (6)   one or more final and non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees for the payment of money of $25.0 million or more, individually or in the aggregate, shall be entered against the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any of their respective properties and which final and non-appealable judgments, orders or decrees are not covered by third party indemnities or insurance as to which coverage has not been disclaimed and are not paid, discharged, bonded or stayed within 60 days after their entry;

            (7)   a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters (x) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (y) a decree or order adjudging the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries under any applicable federal or state law, or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;

            (8)   the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries:

      commences a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent; or

      consents to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or

      files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law; or

      consents to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Issuer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or of any substantial part of its property; or

      makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

      admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

      takes corporate action in furtherance of any such action; or

            (9)   the Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee and the Indenture) or is declared null and void and unenforceable or is found invalid or any Guarantor denies its liability under its Guarantee (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Guarantee).

        If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default described in clause (7) or (8) above with respect to the Issuer), the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default described in clause (7) or (8) above occurs with respect to the Issuer, the principal of and interest on all the Notes will immediately become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of the Notes. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences.

        Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no noteholder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

    such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

    holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

    such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

    the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

    the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

        Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

        The Indenture will provide that if a Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee, the Trustee must mail to each noteholder notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the noteholders. In addition, the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Issuer also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Amendments and Waivers

        Except as provided below, the Notes and the Indenture may be amended with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange for the Notes) and any past default or

46


Table of Contents


compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

        Without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby, no amendment or waiver may:

    reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note;

    alter the provisions with respect to the redemption or purchase provisions of any Note or the Indenture in a manner adverse to the holders of the Notes (other than the provisions of the Indenture relating to any offer to purchase required under the covenants described under "—Change of Control");

    waive a redemption or purchase payment due with respect to any Note;

    reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

    waive a Default in the payment of principal or interest on the Notes (except that holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes may (x) rescind an acceleration of the Notes that resulted from a non-payment default and (y) waive the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

    make the principal of or interest on any Note payable in money other than United States Dollars;

    make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of or interest on the Notes;

    make the Notes or any Guarantee subordinated by their or its terms in right of payment to any other Indebtedness;

    release any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary from its Guarantee except in compliance with the Indenture; or

    make any change in the amendment and waiver provisions of the Indenture.

        Without the consent of any noteholder, the Issuer and the Trustee may amend the Notes and the Indenture:

    to cure any ambiguity, defect, mistake, or inconsistency;

    to provide for the assumption by a successor Person of the obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor under the Indenture in accordance with the covenant described under "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets";

    to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

    to add a Guarantor;

    to release a Guarantor from its Guarantee when permitted by the Indenture;

    to add to the covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the noteholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuer;

    to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

47


Table of Contents

    to make any other change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any noteholder; or

    to conform the Indenture to this Description of Exchange Notes.

        The consent of the noteholders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment or waiver.

        After an amendment or waiver under the Indenture becomes effective, the Issuer is required to mail to noteholders a notice briefly describing such amendment or waiver. However, the failure to give such notice to all noteholders, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment or waiver.

Transfer

        Notes will be issued in registered form and are transferable only upon the surrender of the Notes being transferred for registration of transfer. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Discharge of Indenture and Defeasance

        The Indenture will, subject to certain surviving provisions, cease to be of further effect when:

            (1)   the Issuer delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Notes (other than Notes replaced because of mutilation, loss, destruction or wrongful taking) for cancellation; or

            (2)   all outstanding Notes have become due and payable, whether at maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption as described above, and the Issuer irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Notes, including interest thereon,

and if in either case the Issuer pays all other sums payable under the Indenture by the Issuer. The Trustee will acknowledge satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture on written demand of the Issuer accompanied by an officers' certificate and an opinion of counsel and at the cost and expense of the Issuer.

        Subject to the conditions to defeasance described below and in the Indenture and the survival of certain provisions, the Issuer at any time may terminate:

            (1)   all its obligations under the Notes and the Indenture ("legal defeasance option"); or

            (2)   its obligations under certain restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default ("covenant defeasance option").

the Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Issuer exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If the Issuer exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default referred to in clause (2) of the immediately preceding paragraph.

        In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Issuer must irrevocably deposit in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or change in applicable federal income tax law).

Concerning the Trustee

        Wilmington Trust FSB has been appointed by the Issuer as Registrar and Paying Agent with regard to the Notes.

        The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that if an Event of Default occurs (and is not cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of such person's own affairs. Subject to such provisions and the other rights and duties of the Trustee, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any noteholder, unless such noteholder shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, expense and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

        No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

        The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer. It does not contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This summary is limited to holders of Old Notes who hold the Old Notes as "capital assets" (in general, assets held for investment). Special situations, such as the following, are not addressed:

    tax consequences to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, such as tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities or currencies, banks, other financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

    tax consequences to persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale or conversion transaction or a straddle or other risk reduction transaction;

    tax consequences to holders whose "functional currency" is not the United States dollar;

    tax consequences to persons who hold notes through a partnership or similar pass-through entity;

    United States federal gift tax, estate tax or alternative minimum tax consequences, if any; or

    any state, local or non-United States tax consequences.

        The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereunder, as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

Consequences of Tendering Old Notes

        The exchange of your Old Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offer should not constitute an exchange for United States federal income tax purposes because the Exchange Notes should not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Old Notes. Accordingly, the exchange offer should have no United States federal income tax consequences to you if you exchange your Old Notes for Exchange Notes. For example, there should be no change in your tax basis and your holding period should carry over to the Exchange Notes. In addition, the United States federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of your Exchange Notes should be the same as those applicable to your Old Notes.

        The preceding discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations of the exchange offer is for general information only and is not tax advice.

        This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Old Notes if the Old Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

        We have agreed to make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer to use in connection with any such resale for a period of at least 180 days after the expiration date. In addition, until (90 days after the date of this prospectus), all broker-dealers effecting transactions in the Exchange Notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:

    in the over-the-counter market;

    in negotiated transactions; or

    through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale.

        These resales may be made:

    at market prices prevailing at the time of resale;

    at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

    at negotiated prices.

Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers. Brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. An "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act includes:

    any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer; or

    any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes.

        Any profit on any resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of not less than 180 days after the expiration of the exchange offer we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests those documents in the letter of transmittal.

Arizona

Perini Building Company, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of Arizona.

        Section 10-851 of the Arizona Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if all of the following conditions exist: (a) the individual's conduct was in good faith; (b) the individual reasonably believed in the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that the conduct was in its best interests and in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceedings, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Section 10-851 of the Arizona Revised Statutes permits a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the director engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation pursuant to section 10-202, subsection B, paragraph 2 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction or on a plea of no contest or its equivalent is not of itself determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this section. Under Arizona Revised Statutes, a corporation may not indemnify a director under this section either: (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or (b) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper financial benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that financial benefit was improperly received by the director. Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

        The Articles of Incorporation of Perini Building Company, Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

A California corporation also has the 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 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 an agent of the corporation, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action if the person acted in good faith, in a manner the person believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.

Table of Contents


damages to the corporation or any other person unless the director breached or failed to perform his or her duties as a director and the director's breach of, or failure to perform, those duties constituted:

    a violation of the criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful, or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful;

    a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, either directly or indirectly;

    a circumstance under which the liability provisions of Florida law for unlawful distributions are applicable;

    in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or by or in the right of a shareholder, conscious disregard for the best interest of the corporation or willful misconduct; or

    in a proceeding by or in the right of someone other than the corporation or by or in the right of a shareholder, recklessness or an act or omission which was committed in bad faith or with malicious purpose or in a manner exhibiting wanton and willful disregard of human rights, safety, or property.

Section 607.0850 of the FBCA empowers a Florida corporation, subject to certain limitations, to indemnify its directors, officers and employees against expenses (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and certain settlements) actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any suit or proceeding to which they are a party so long as they 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 a criminal action or proceeding, so long as they had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct to have been unlawful.

Hawaii

G.W. Murphy Construction Company, Inc. and E.E. Black, Limited are incorporated under the laws of Hawaii.

        Section 414-242 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because the individual is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

    the individual conducted himself or herself in good faith and the individual reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in the

    individual's official capacity, that the individual's conduct was in the best interests of the corporation; and (ii) in all other cases, that

    the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and

    in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful; or

    the individual engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation.

To the extent that a director is wholly successful in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director was a director of the corporation, the corporation is required by Section 414-243 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act to indemnify such director for reasonable expenses incurred thereby.

        Under Section 414-244 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, a corporation, before final disposition of a proceeding, may advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding because the director is a director of the corporation if the director delivers certain written affirmations and certain undertakings. Under certain circumstances, under Section 414-245 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, a director may apply for and obtain indemnification or an advance for expenses to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction.

        Further, under Section 414-246 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, indemnification may be made only as authorized in a specific case upon a determination that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because a director has met the applicable standard, with such determination to be made:

    by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding or who do not have a familial, financial, professional or employment relationship with the director whose indemnification is the subject of the decision being made, which relationship would reasonably be expected to influence the director's judgment when voting on the decision being made;

    by special legal counsel; or

    by a majority vote of the shareholders.

        Under Section 414-247 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer who is a party to a proceeding because the officer is an officer of the corporation:

    to the same extent as a director; and

    if the person is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws, a resolution of the board of directors, or contract except for liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation other than for

II-5


Table of Contents

      reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding, or liability arising out of conduct that constitutes: (i) receipt by the officer of a financial benefit to which the officer is not entitled; (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders; or (iii) an intentional violation of criminal law.

The above-described provision applies to an officer who is also a director if the basis on which officer is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer. Further, an officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 414-243 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act and may apply to a court under Section 414-245 of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act for indemnification or an advance for expenses, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses.

        The Hawaii Business Corporation Act also provides that a corporation may include indemnification provisions in its articles of incorporation that are broader than the foregoing provisions. The restated articles of incorporation of Central Pacific, as amended, do not address the matter of indemnification of directors and officers; however, the provisions of the amended bylaws of Central Pacific relating to indemnification of directors and officers are substantially the same as the provisions of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act described above as related to the corporations obligations and authority to indemnify its directors and officers.

        The bylaws of G.W. Murphy Construction Company, Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        The bylaws of E.E. Black, Limited provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Maryland

Cherry Hill Construction, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of Maryland.

        By a Maryland statute, a Maryland corporation may indemnify any director 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 ("Proceeding") by reason of the fact that he is a present or former director of the corporation and any person who, while a director of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan ("Director"). Such indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with the Proceeding unless it is proven that (a) the act or omission of the Director was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith, or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or (b) the Director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Director had reasonable cause to believe his act or omission was unlawful. However, the corporation may not indemnify any Director in connection with a Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation if the Director has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. A Director who has been successful in the defense of any Proceeding described above shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the Proceeding. The corporation may not indemnify a Director in respect of any Proceeding charging improper personal benefits to the Director in which the Director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. The corporation may not indemnify a Director or advance expenses for a Proceeding brought by the Director against the corporation except if the Proceeding is brought to enforce indemnification by the corporation or if the corporation's charter or by-laws, a board resolution or contract provides otherwise. Notwithstanding the above provisions, a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application of the Director, may order indemnification if it determines that in view of all the relevant circumstances, the Director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification;

II-6


Table of Contents


however, indemnification with respect to any Proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which liability was adjudged on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received shall be limited to expenses. A corporation may advance reasonable expenses to a Director under certain circumstances, including a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation has not been met.

        A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation to the same extent that it may indemnify Directors under the statute.

        The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by statute is not exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or otherwise, to which a Director or officer may be entitled under the charter, by-laws, a resolution of shareholders or directors, an agreement or otherwise.

        A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or officer, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify a Director or officer against liability under the provision of this section of Maryland law. Further, a corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of credit or surety bond, not inconsistent with the statute.

        The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Cherry Hill Construction, Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Massachusetts

Perini Management Services, Inc., Perini Land And Development Company, Inc. and Paramount Development Associates, Inc. are incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts.

        Section 8.51 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1)(i) he conducted himself in good faith; (ii) he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or (2) he engaged in conduct for which he shall not be liable under a provision of the articles of organization authorized by clause (4) of subsection (b) of section 2.02. A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.

        The bylaws of Perini Management Services, Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Perini Land And Development Company, Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

II-7


Table of Contents


made a party to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she 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, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, and with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of an action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders, and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

        Indemnification of expenses (including attorneys' fees) and amounts paid in settlement is permitted in derivative actions, except that indemnification is not allowed for any claim, issue or matter in which such person has been found liable to the corporation unless and to the extent that a court decides indemnification is proper. To the extent that a director or officer has been successful in on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of a claim, issue or matter in the action, suit or proceeding, he or she shall be indemnified against actual and reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, and any action, suit or proceeding brought to enforce the mandatory indemnification provided under the MBCA. The MBCA permits partial indemnification for a portion of expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent the person is entitled to indemnification for less than the total amount.

        A determination that the person indemnified meets the applicable standard of conduct and an evaluation of the reasonableness of the expenses incurred and amounts paid in settlement shall be made by a majority vote of a quorum of the board of directors who are not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, by a majority vote of a committee of not less than two disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel, by all "independent directors" not parties or threatened to be made parties to the action, suit or proceeding, or by the shareholders. Under the MBCA, a corporation may pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a directors, officer, employee or agent who is a party or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if (i) the person furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct, and (ii) the person furnishes the corporation a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meeting the standard of conduct, which undertaking need not be secured.

        The indemnification provisions of the MBCA are not exclusive of the rights to indemnification under a corporation's articles of incorporation, bylaws, or by agreement. However, the total amount of expenses advanced or indemnified from all sources combined may not exceed the amount of actual expenses incurred by the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses. The indemnification provided under the MBCA continues as to a person who ceases to be a director, officer, employee, or agent. Additionally, the MBCA permits a corporation to purchase insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities arising out of their positions with the corporation, whether or not such liabilities would be within the above indemnification provisions. An amendment to the articles of incorporation of HD Supply Fasteners & Tools, Inc.

II-8


Table of Contents


provides that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation nor its subsidiaries; (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; (3) for a violation of Section 551(1) of the Michigan Business Corporation Act; (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; and (5) for any acts or omission occurring before June 27, 1989.

        The bylaws of R.E. Dailey & Co. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Nevada

Desert Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc., Black Construction Investments, Inc. and TPC Aggregates, LLC are incorporated under the laws of Nevada.

        Section 78.7502 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS") permits a corporation 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 (except an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of being or having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or serving or having served in certain capacities at the request of the corporation. Indemnification may include attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person to be indemnified in connection with the action, suit or proceeding. A corporation may 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 being or having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the corporation or serving or having served in certain capacities at the request of the corporation except that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. However, to be entitled to indemnification, the person to be indemnified in either case must not be found to have breached his or her fiduciary duties with such breach involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law or must have acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

        Section 78.7502 of the NRS also provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense.

        Section 78.751 of the NRS permits a corporation, in its articles of incorporation, bylaws or other agreement, to provide for the payment of expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the person is not entitled to indemnification by the corporation.

        Section 78.752 of the NRS permits a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of the corporation's current and former officers, directors, employees or agents, or any persons serving or who have served in certain capacities at the request of

the corporation, for any liability and expenses incurred by them in their capacities as officers, directors, employees or agents or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him, her or them against such liability and expenses.

        The bylaws of Desert Plumbing & Heating Co., Inc. provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

        The Articles of Incorporation of Black Construction Investments, Inc. provide that the corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada for damages for breaches of fiduciary duties. The provision does not eliminate liability for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct, fraud, a knowing violation of the law, or the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the NRS.

        The operating agreement of TPC Aggregates, LLC provides for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.

New Hampshire

Bow Equipment Leasing Company, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of New Hampshire.

        The New Hampshire Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) he conducted himself in good faith; and (2) he reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests; and (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in the preceding sentence; and (2) the director furnishes the corporation an undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct; and (3) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification. Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director. A corporation may not indemnify a director (x) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (y) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a New Hampshire corporation must indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding.

        The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Bow Equipment Leasing Company, Inc. are silent as to indemnification.

West Virginia

Perland Construction, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia.

        The West Virginia Business Corporation Act ("WVBCA") empowers a corporation to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) (A) he conducted himself in good faith; (B) he reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests and (ii) in

II-10


Table of Contents


all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or (2) he engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation. A corporation may not indemnify a director (x) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding or (y) in connection with any other proceeding with respect to conduct for which he was adjudged liable on the basis that he received financial benefit to which he was not entitled, whether or not involving action in his official capacity. A corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. Under the WVBCA, a corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if: (1) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the relevant standard of conduct; and (2) the director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking to repay the advance if the director is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under the WVBCA and it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the relevant standard of conduct. A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation to the same extent as to a director. A corporation may also purchase and maintain on behalf of a director or officer of the corporation insurance against liabilities incurred in such capacities, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against the same liability under the WVBCA.

        The Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of Perland Construction, Inc. are silent as to indemnification.

Item 21.    Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a)   Exhibits.

Reference is made to the Index to Exhibits filed as a part of this registration statement.

(b)   Financial Statement Schedules.

All schedules have been omitted because they are not applicable or because the required information is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 22.    Undertakings.The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:

        (a)   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;

             (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 the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

II-11


Table of Contents

            (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.

        (b)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (c)   To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

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

        (e)   That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants 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 registrants will each 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 registrants 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 registrants;

            (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 registrants; and

            (iv)  any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.

        (f)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20, or otherwise, the registrant has 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 by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-12


Table of Contents

        (g)   To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), or 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 date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

        (h)   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.

        (i)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

3.             The total number of shares and the par value, if any, of each class of stock which the corporation is authorized is as follows:  10,000 shares of common stock without par value.

each class thereof and any series now established: None

 

5.             The restrictions, if any, imposed by the Articles of Organization upon the transfer of shares of stock of any class are as follows: None

 

6.             Other lawful provisions for the conduct and  regulation of the business and affairs of the corporation, for its voluntary dissolution, or for limiting, defining, or regulating the powers of the corporation, or of its directors or stockholders, or of any class of stockholders are as follows:

 

6.1.          The directors may make, amend or repeal the by-laws in whole or in part, except with respect to any provision thereof which by law or the by-laws requires action by the stockholders.

 

6.2.          Meetings of the stockholders may be held anywhere in the United States.

 

6.3.          Except as specifically authorized by statute, no stockholder shall have any right to examine any property or any books, accounts or other writings of the corporation if there is reasonable ground for belief that such examination will for any reason be adverse to the interest of the corporation, and a vote of the board of directors refusing permission to make such examination and setting forth that in the opinion of the board of directors such examination would be adverse to the interests of the corporation shall be prima facie evidence that such examination would be adverse to the interests of the corporation. Every such examination shall be subject to such reasonable regulations as the board of directors may establish in regard thereto.

 

6.4.          The board of directors may specify the manner in which the accounts of the corporation shall be kept and may determine what constitutes net earnings, profits and surplus, what amounts, if any, shall be reserved for any corporate purpose, and what amounts, if any, shall be declared as dividends.

6.9. The terms and conditions upon which a sale or exchange of all the property and assets, including the good will of the corporation, or any part thereof, is voted may include the payment therefor in whole or in part in shares, notes, bonds or other certificates of interest or indebtedness of any voluntary association trust, joint stock company or corporation. Such vote or a subsequent vote may in the event of or in contemplation of proceedings for the dissolution of the corporation also provide, subject to the rights of creditors and preferred stockholders, for the distribution pro rata among the stockholders of the corporation, of the proceeds of any such sale or exchange, whether such proceeds be in cash or in securities as aforesaid (at values to be determined by the board of directors).

 

7.             By-laws of the corporation have been duly adopted and the initial directors, president, treasurer and clerk, whose names are set out below, have been duly elected.

 

8.             The effective date of organization of the corporation shall be the date of filing with the Secretary of the Commonwealth or if later date is desired, specify date, (not more than 30 days after date of filing.)

SECTION 1. ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION

 

The name and purposes of the corporation shall be as set forth in the Articles of Organization.

SECTION 2. STOCKHOLDERS

 

2.1.          Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at ten o’clock in the forenoon on the third Tuesday in May in each year beginning in 1970, unless a different hour is fixed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the directors. If that day be a legal holiday at the place where the meeting is to be held, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday at such place and hour. Purposes for which an annual meeting is to be held, additional to those prescribed by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these by-laws, may be specified by the Chairman of the Board, the President or by the directors.

 

2.2.          Special Meeting in Place of Annual Meeting. If no annual meeting has been held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting of the stockholders may be held in place thereof; and any action taken at such special meeting shall have the same force and effect as if taken at the annual meeting and, in such case, all references in these by-laws to the annual meeting of the stockholders

 



 

shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting. Any such special meeting shall be called as provided in Section 2.3.

 

2.3.          Special Meetings. A special meeting of the stockholders may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President or by the directors. Each call of a meeting shall state the place, date, hour and purposes of the meeting.

 

2.4.          Place of Meetings. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held within Massachusetts or, to the extent permitted by the Articles of Organization, elsewhere within the United States, at such place as shall be fixed by the Chairman of the Board, the President or the directors. Any adjourned session of any meeting of the stockholders shall be held at the same city or town as the initial session, or within Massachusetts, in either case at the place designated in the vote of adjournment.

 

2.5.          Notice of Meetings. A written notice of each meeting of stockholders, stating the place, date and hour and the purposes of the meeting, shall be given at least ten days before the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat and to each stockholder who, by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these by-laws, is entitled to notice, by leaving such notice with him or at his residence or usual place of business, or by mailing it, postage prepaid, and addressed to such stockholder at his address as it appears in the records of the corporation. Such notice shall be given by the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk or by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. No notice of any meeting of stockholders need be given to a stockholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting by such stockholder, or his attorney thereunto duly authorized, is filed with all the records of the meeting.

 

2.6.          Quorum of Stockholders. At any meeting of the stockholders, a quorum shall consist of a majority in interest of all stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting; except that if two or more classes or series of stock are entitled to vote as separate classes or series, then, in the case of each such class or series, a quorum shall consist of a majority in interest of all stock of that class or series issued and outstanding; and except when a larger quorum is required by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these by-laws. Stock owned directly or indirectly by the corporation, if any, shall not be deemed outstanding for this purpose. Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority

 



 

of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

 

2.7.          Action by Vote. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office shall elect to such office, and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question other than an election to an office shall decide the question, except when a larger vote is required by law, by the Articles of Organization or by these by-laws. No ballot shall be required for any election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

The corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, vote any share of its own stock.

 

2.9.          Action by Writing. Any action to be taken by stockholders may be taken without a meeting if all stockholders entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action by a writing filed with the records of the meetings of stockholders. Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as a vote at a meeting.

 

2.10.        Proxies. Stockholders entitled to vote may vote either in person or by proxy in writing filed with the Clerk or other person responsible to record the proceedings of the meeting before being voted, but no proxy dated more than six months before the meeting named therein shall be valid. Unless otherwise specifically limited by their terms, such proxies shall entitle the holders thereof to vote at the meeting named therein and at any adjournment of such meeting, but no proxy shall be valid after the final adjournment of such meeting. A proxy with respect to stock held in the name of two or more persons shall be valid if executed by any one of them unless at or prior to exercise of the proxy the corporation receives a specific written notice to the contrary from any one of them. A proxy purporting to be executed by or on behalf of a stockholder shall be deemed valid unless challenged at or prior to its exercise and the burden of proving invalidity shall rest on the challenger.

Section 3Indemnification against Expenses. To the extent that a-person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of’ the Corporation, or a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise with which he is or was serving at the request of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney’s fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

The certificates of stock of the Corporation shall be signed by or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and may be sealed with the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof and countersigned and registered in such manner, if any, as the Board of Directors may by resolution prescribe; and to this end the Board of Directors may, from time to time, appoint such transfer agents and registrars of stock of any class within or outside of the State of Michigan as to it may seem expedient; provided that, where such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar other than the Corporation itself or its employee, the signatures of any such Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President, Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers, who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on any certificate or certificates, shall cease to be such officer or officers, whether because of death, resignation, or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.

 

Section 2Transfer. Shares of stock of the Corporation may be transferred on the books of the Corporation in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Michigan by the holder thereof in person or by his duly authorized attorney upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for the same number of shares of the same class with an assignment and power of attorney duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence or succession, assignment or authority to transfer, and such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require, and also accompanied by sufficient funds (or appropriate documentary stamps) for Payment of applicable transfer taxes as may be imposed by the federal, state or local governments.

A compete list of shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders. meeting, certified by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the Corporation having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation, shall be produced and shall be subject to inspection at the time and place where said meeting is to be held for the duration of such

 



 

meeting: A person who is a shareholder of record of the Corporation, upon at least 10 days written demand, may examine for any proper purpose in person or by agent or attorney, during usual business hours,. such record of shareholders and make extracts therefrom at the places where such records are kept.

Section 4Stolen, Lost or Destroyed Certificates. In case a certificate for shares or fractional shares of capital stock of the Corporation is claimed by the owner of such certificate to have been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Corporation is obligated to issue a new certificate in place of the original certificate, if the owner so requests before the Corporation has notice that the certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, and if the owner files with the Corporation a sufficient indemnity bond indemnifying the Corporation and its Transfer Agents and Registrars, if any, in form satisfactory to said Board of Directors and such Transfer Agents. and Registrars, and if the owner satisfies any other reasonable requirements in-posed by the Board of Directors and its Transfer Agents and Registrars, if any, if after the issue of the new certificate a bona fide purchaser of the original certificate presents it for registration of transfer, the Corporation is obligated to register the transfer unless registration would result in over issue, in which event the Corporation’s liability is governed by Section 8104 of Act No. 174 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1962, which is known as the Uniform Commercial Code. In addition to any rights on the indemnity bond furnished by the owner, the corporation may recover the new certificate from the person to whom it was issued or any person taking under him except a bona fide purchaser. Where a certificate for shares of capital stock of the Corporation has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and the owner of such certificate fails to notify the Corporation of that fact within a reasonable time after he has notice of it and the Corporation registers a transfer of the certificate before receiving such a notification, the original owner of the certificate is precluded from asserting against the Corporation any claim for registering the transfer under Section 8404 of said Uniform Commercial Code and is also precluded from asserting any claim against the Corporation for a new certificate pursuant to Section 8405 of said Uniform Commercial Code.

or the date when any change or conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect or before any other action, as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect to any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or to benefit from any other action, and, in such case, such shareholders and only such shareholders as shall be shareholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of and to vote at such meeting, or to receive payment, of such dividend, or to receive such allotment or rights or to exercise such rights, or to benefit from any other action, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Corporation or otherwise after any such record date fixed as aforesaid. If a record date is not fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if no notice is given, the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held, but the record date for determining shareholders for any purpose other than with reference to a meeting shall be the close of business on the day on which the resolution of the Board of Directors relating to such other purpose is adopted.

A general notice that a director or officer of the corporation is interested in any corporation, joint stock company, trust, firm or association shall be a sufficient disclosure as to such director or officer with respect to all contracts and transactions with that corporation, joint stock company, trust, firm or association. In any event the authorizing or ratifying vote of a majority of the capital stock of the corporation outstanding and entitled to vote passed at a meeting duly called and held for the purpose shall validate any such contract or transaction as against all stockholders of the corporation, whether of record or not at the time of such

 



 

vote, and as against all creditors and other claimants under the corporation, and no contract or transaction shall be avoided by reason of any provisions of this paragraph (3) which would be valid regardless of such provisions.

 

(4) The terms, conditions and consideration upon or for which a sale, lease or exchange of all of the property and assets, including the good will and corporate franchises of the corporation is made or authorized may be in whole or in part shares of stock or other securities, or both, of any other corporation or corporations as the board of directors shall deem expedient and for the best interests of the corporation, when and as authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding having voting power at the time of such authorization.

 

(5) Any vote or votes. authorizing liquidation of the corporation or proceedings for its dissolution may provide, subject to the rights of creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, for the distribution pro rata among the stockholders of the corporation of the assets of the corporation, wholly or in part in kind, whether such assets be in cash or other property, and may authorize the board of directors of the corporation to determine the valuation of the different assets of the corporation for the purpose of such liquidation and may divide or authorize the board of directors to divide such assets or any part thereof among the stockholders of the corporation, in such manner that every stockholder will receive a proportionate amount in value (determined as aforesaid) of cash or property of the corporation upon such liquidation or dissolution even though each stockholder may not receive a strictly proportionate part of each such assets.

 

(6) The corporation shall, to the extent legally permissible, indemnify each of its directors and officers and former directors and officers and each person who may have served at its request as director or officer of another corporation in which this corporation owns or at the time of such service shall have owned shares of capital stock or of which this corporation is or at the time of such service was a creditor against all liabilities (including expenses) actually and necessarily incurred by such director, officer, former director, former officer or person in connection with the defense of any action, suit or other proceeding in which he shall have been made a party of with which he may be threatened by reason of being or having been a director or officer of this or another corporation as aforesaid, except in relation to any matter or matters as to which such director or officer or former director or officer or person shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty; provided, however, that such indemnification shall not cover liabilities in connection with any matter which shall be disposed of through a compromise payment by such director or officer, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise, unless such compromise shall be approved as in indemnification, (a) by a vote of the board of directors in which no interested director participates, or (b) by a vote or the written approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock at the time having the right to vote for directors, not counting as outstanding any stock owned by any interested director or officer. The rights of indemnification hereby provided shall not be deemed exclusive of or affect other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise. As used in this paragraph, the terms “director” and “officer” include their respective heirs, executors and administrators and an “interested” director or officer is one against whom as such the proceeding in question or another proceeding on the same or similar grounds is then pending.

Section 6.               QUORUM. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the charter of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

2



 

elect a director. In an election of directors that is contested, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; provided, however, that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director in a second consecutive contested election of directors. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute or by the charter of the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided by statute or by the charter, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Any director or other fiduciary may vote stock registered in his or her name as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

 

Shares of stock of the Corporation directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

 

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of stock registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the stock transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified stock in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.

3



 

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 Board of Directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, 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. Each such report shall be in writing and signed by him or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

 

Section 11.             CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITION ACT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), or any successor statute shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of stock of the Corporation.

When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, except when (i) the determination has been made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing has expired or (ii) the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the record date fixed for the original meeting, in either of which case a new record date shall be determined as set forth herein.

The indemnification and payment of expenses provided in these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or payment of expenses may be or may become entitled under any bylaw, regulation, insurance, agreement or otherwise.

 

Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Bylaws or charter of the Corporation inconsistent with this Article, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding paragraph with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

WAIVER OF NOTICE

 

Whenever any notice is required to be given pursuant to the charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting need be set forth in the waiver of notice, unless specifically required by statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

Section 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of California designated by the Board of Directors or by the written consent of all persons entitled to vote thereat, given either before or after the meeting and filed with the Secretary of the corporation. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders’ meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the corporation.

 

Section 2. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on the first Thursday of October in each year at 10:00 a.m. or such other date or such other time as may be fixed by the Board; provided, however, if this day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the meeting shall be held at the same time and place on the next succeeding full business day. Any date so fixed by the Board shall be within sixty (60) days after the date designated above. At this meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted which is within the powers of the shareholders.

 

Section 3.  SPECIAL MEETING. A special meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, or by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President, or by one or more shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not fewer than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

 



 

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons entitled to call a special meeting of the shareholders other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, or the Secretary of the corporation. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not fewer than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request.  If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph of this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

 

Section 4. NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS. All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given to each shareholder entitled to vote thereat in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not fewer than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted and no other business may be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders, but subject to the provisions of Section 601(f) of the Corporations Code of California, any proper matter may be presented at the meeting for such action. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, management intends to present for election.

 

If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or transaction in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California, (ii) an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to Section 902 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the corporation, pursuant to Section 1900 of that Code, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall also state the general nature of that proposal.

 

Section 5. MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE; AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE. Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation or given by the shareholder to the corporation for the purpose of notice.

 



 

If no such address appears on the corporation’s books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to that shareholder by first-class mail or telegraphic or other written communication to the corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where that office is located. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail or sent by telegram or other means of written communication.

 

If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the corporation is returned to the corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at that address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing if these shall be available to the shareholder on written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice.

 

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any shareholders’ meeting shall be executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or any transfer agent of the corporation giving the notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the corporation.

 

Section 6. QUORUM. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

 

Section 7. ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE THEREOF. Any shareholders’ meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II.

 

When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record date. If the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of

 



 

Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 8. VOTING. The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of Section 702 to 704, inclusive, of the Corporations Code of California (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation, or in joint ownership). The shareholders’ vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that any election for directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun. On any matter other than elections of directors, any shareholder may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares which the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares that the shareholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter (other than the election of directors) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by California General Corporation Law or by the Articles of Incorporation.

 

At a shareholders’ meeting at which directors are to be elected, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of the shareholder’s shares) unless the candidate or candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice prior to commencement of the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given such a notice, then every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate votes for candidates in nomination and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder’s shares are entitled, or distribute the shareholder’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.

 

Section 9. WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS. The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, who was not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes. The waiver of notice or consent need not specify either the business to be transacted or the purpose of any annual or special meeting of shareholders, except that if action is taken or proposed to be taken for approval of any of those matters specified in the second

 



 

paragraph of Section 4 of this Article II, the waiver of notice or consent shall state the general nature of the proposal.  All such waivers, consents or approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.

 

Attendance by a person at a meeting shall also constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the person objects, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, and except that attendance at a meeting is not a waiver of any right to object to the consideration of matters required by law to be included in the notice of the meeting but not so included if that objection is expressly made at the meeting.

 

Section 10. SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not fewer than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted. In the case of election of directors, such a consent shall be effective only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided however, that a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors that has not been filled by the directors, by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the out standing shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder’s proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the holders, may revoke the shareholder or their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the corporation before consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary of the corporation.

 

If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the unanimous written consent of all such shareholders shall not have been received, the Secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting, to those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5 of this Article II. In the case of approval of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California, (ii) indemnification of agents of the corporation, pursuant to Section 317 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, and (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval.

 



 

Section 11. RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING AND GIVING CONSENTS. For the purposes of determining the share holders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of  Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor fewer than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any such action without a meeting, and in this event only shareholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the California General Corporation Law.

 

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action by the board has been taken, shall be the day on which the first written consent is given; or (ii) when prior action of the board has been taken, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board adopts the resolution relating to that action, or the sixtieth (60) day before the date of such other action, whichever is later.

 

Section 12. PROXIES. Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by. a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewritten, telegraphic transmission, or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney in fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or, attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the Corporation Code of California.

 

Section 13. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. Before any meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office to act as inspectors of election at the meeting or its adjournment. If no

 



 

inspectors of election are so appointed, the chairman of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy shall, appoint inspectors of election at the meeting. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3) . If inspectors are appointed at a meeting on the request of one or more shareholders or proxies, the holders of a majority of shares or their proxies present at the meeting shall determine whether one (1) or three (3) inspectors are to be appointed. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the` Chairman of the meeting may, and upon the request of any shareholder or a shareholder’s proxy, shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

 

These inspectors shall:

 

(a) Determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies.

 

(b) Receive votes, ballots, or consents:

 

(c) Hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote;

 

(d) Count and tabulate all votes or consents;

 

(e) Determine when the polls shall close;

 

(f) Determine the result; and

 

(g) Do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

 

If there are three inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all.

Meetings of shareholders shall be held at any place within or outside the State of California designated by the Board of Directors. In the absence of any such designation, shareholders meetings shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation.

 

Section 2.                                            ANNUAL MEETING.

 

The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year on the date and at a time designated by the Board of Directors. At each annual meeting, directors shall be elected, and any other proper business may be transacted.

 



 

Section 3.                                            SPECIAL MEETING.

 

A special meeting of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of directors, or by the Chairman of the Board, or by the President, or by one or more shareholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not less than 10% of the votes at that meeting.

 

If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the time of such meeting and the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by telegraphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board, the President, any Vice President, or the Secretary of the Corporation. The officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be promptly given to the shareholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II, that a meeting will be held at the time requested by the person or persons calling the meeting, not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request. If the notice is not given within twenty (20) days after receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting this meeting may give the notice. Nothing contained in this Paragraph of this Section 3 shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of shareholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

 

Section 4.                                            NOTICE OF SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS.

 

All notices of meetings of shareholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 5 of this Article II not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. The notice shall specify the place, date and hour of the meeting and (i) in the case of a special meeting, the general nature of the business to be transacted, or (ii) in the case of the annual meeting, those matters which the Board of Directors, at the time of giving the notice, intends to present for action by the shareholders. The notice of any meeting at which directors are to be elected shall include the name of any nominee or nominees whom, at the time of the notice, management intends to propose for election.

 

If action is proposed to be taken at any meeting for approval of (i) a contract or transaction in which a Director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California, (ii) an amendment of the Articles of Incorporation, pursuant to Section 902 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, (iv) a voluntary dissolution of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 1900 of that Code, or (v) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall also state the general nature of that proposal.

 

Section 5.                                            MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE, AFFIDAVIT OF NOTICE.

 

Notice of any meeting of shareholders shall be given either personally or by first class mail or telegraphic or other written communication, charges prepaid, addressed to the shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation or given by the shareholder to the Corporation for purpose of notice. If no such address appears on the Corporation’s books or is given, notice shall be deemed to have been given if sent to that shareholder by first class mail or telegraphic or other written communication to the Corporation’s principal executive office, or if published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where that office is located. Notice shall be deemed to have been given at the time when delivered personally or deposited in the mail and sent by telegram or other means of written communication.

 

If any notice addressed to a shareholder at the address of that shareholder appearing on the books of the Corporation is returned to the Corporation by the United States Postal Service marked to indicate that the United States Postal Service is unable to deliver the notice to the shareholder at that address, all future notices or reports shall be deemed to have been duly given without further mailing, if these shall be available to the shareholder on

 



 

written demand of the shareholder at the principal executive office of the Corporation for a period of one year from the date of the giving of the notice.

 

An affidavit of the mailing or other means of giving any notice of any shareholders meeting shall be executed by the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or any transfer agent of the Corporation giving notice, and shall be filed and maintained in the minute book of the Corporation.

 

Section 6.                                            QUORUM.

 

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The shareholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum, if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum.

 

Section 7.                                            ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE.

 

Any shareholders meeting, annual or special, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned from time to time by the vote of the majority of the shares represented at that meeting, either in person or by proxy, but in the absence of a quorum, no other business may be transacted at that meeting, except as provided in Section 6 of this Article II.

 

When any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place are announced at a meeting at which the adjournment is taken, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed, or unless the adjournment is for more than forty-five (45) days from the date set for the original meeting, in which case the Board of Directors shall set a new record date. Notice of any such adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder or record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 and 5 of this Article II. At any adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 8.                                            VOTING.

 

The shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of this Article II, subject to the provisions of Sections 702 to 704, inclusive, of the Corporations Code of California (relating to voting shares held by a fiduciary, in the name of a corporation, or in joint ownership). The shareholders’ vote may be by voice vote or by ballot; provided, however, that any election for directors must be by ballot if demanded by any shareholder before the voting has begun. On any matter other than elections of directors, any shareholder may vote part of the shares in favor of the proposal and refrain from voting the remaining shares or vote them against the proposal, but, if the shareholder fails to specify the number of shares which the shareholder is voting affirmatively, it will be conclusively presumed that the shareholder’s approving vote is with respect to all shares that the shareholder is entitled to vote. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on any matter (other than the election of directors) shall be the act of the shareholders, unless the vote of a greater number or voting by classes is required by California General Corporation Law or by the Articles of Incorporation.

 

At a shareholders meeting at which the directors are to be elected, no shareholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes (i.e., cast for any one or more candidates a number of votes greater than the number of the shareholder’s shares) unless the candidates’ names have been placed in nomination prior to commencement of the voting and a shareholder has given notice prior to commencement of the voting of the shareholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If any shareholder has given such a notice, then every shareholder entitled to vote may cumulate

 



 

votes for candidates in the nomination and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which that shareholder’s shares are entitled, or distribute the shareholder’s votes on the same principle among any or all of the candidates, as the shareholder thinks fit. The candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected.

 

Section 9.                                            WAIVER OF NOTICE OR CONSENT BY ABSENT SHAREHOLDERS.

 

The transactions of any meeting of shareholders, either annual or special, however called and noticed, and wherever held, shall be as valid as though had at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice, if a quorum be present, either in person or by proxy, and if, either before or after the meeting, each person entitled to vote, who was not present in person or by proxy, signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to a holding of the meeting, or an approval of the minutes.

Section 10.                                      SHAREHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.

 

Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote on that action were present and voted. In the case of election of directors, such a consent shall be effective only if signed by the holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors; provided, however, that a director may be elected at any time to fill a vacancy on the Board of Directors that has not been filled by the directors, by the written consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for the election of directors. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Any shareholder giving a written consent, or the shareholder’s proxy holders, or a transferee of the shares or a personal representative of the shareholder or their respective proxy holders, may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Secretary of the Corporation before written consents of the number of shares required to authorize the proposed action have been filed with the Secretary.

 

If the consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the unanimous written consent of all such shareholders shall not have been received, the Secretary shall give prompt notice of the corporate action approved by the shareholders without a meeting. This notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 5 of this Article II. In the case of approval. of (i) contracts or transactions in which a director has a direct or indirect financial interest, pursuant to Section 310 of the Corporations Code of California, (ii)indemnification of agents of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 317 of that Code, (iii) a reorganization of the Corporation, pursuant to Section 1201 of that Code, and (iv) a distribution in dissolution other than in accordance with the rights of outstanding preferred shares, pursuant to Section 2007 of that Code, the notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the consummation of any action authorized by that approval.

 



 

Section 11.                                      RECORD DATE FOR SHAREHOLDER NOTICE, VOTING AND GIVING CONSENTS.

 

For purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to notice of any meeting or to vote or entitled to give consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of any such meeting nor more than sixty (60) days before any such action without a meeting, and, in this event, only shareholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to notice and to vote or to give consents, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date, except as otherwise provided in the California General Corporation Law.

 

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the date on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining shareholders entitled to give consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, (i) when no prior action by the Board has been taken, shall be the date on which the first written consent is given, or (ii) when prior action of the Board has been taken, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to that action, or the sixtieth (60th) day before the date of such other action, whichever is later.

Every person entitled to vote for directors or on any matter shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more agents authorized by a written proxy signed by the person and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the shareholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission, or otherwise) by the shareholder or the shareholder’s attorney in fact. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the Corporation stating that the proxy is revoked, or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the Corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy. The irrevocability of a proxy that states on its fact that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 705(e) and 705(f) of the Corporations Code of California.

 

Section 13.                                      INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.

The termination of any 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 the best interests of this Corporation or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 3.               ACTIONS BY THE CORPORATION.

(b) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a threatened or pending action, with or without court approval; or

 

(c) Of expenses incurred in defending a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval.

 

Section 4.               SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE BY AGENT.

 

To the extent that an agent of this Corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding referred to in Sections 2 and 3 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the agent in connection therewith.

 

Section 5.               REQUIRED APPROVAL.

 

Except as provided in Section 4 of this Article, any indemnification under this Article shall be made by this Corporation only if authorized in the specific case on a determination that indemnification of the agent is proper in the circumstances because the agent has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this Article, by:

Nothing contained in this Article shall affect any right to indemnification to which persons other than directors and officers of this Corporation or any subsidiary hereof may be entitled by contract or otherwise.

 



 

Section 8.               LIMITATIONS.

 

No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article, except as provided in Section 4 or Section 5(c), in any circumstance where it appears:

 

(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Articles, a resolution of the shareholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

 

(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

 

Section 9.               INSURANCE.

 

Upon and in the event of a determination by the Board of Directors of this Corporation to purchase such insurance, this Corporation shall purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent in such capacity or arising out of the agent’s status as such whether or not this Corporation would have the power to indemnify the agent against that liability under the provisions of this Section.

Section 1.               RECORD DATE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN NOTICE AND VOTING.

 

For purposes of determining the shareholders 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 other lawful action (other than action by shareholders by written consent without a meeting), the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) days before any such action, and in that case only shareholders of record on the date so fixed are entitled to receive the dividend, distribution or allotment of rights or to exercise the rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any shares on the books of the Corporation after the record date so fixed, except as otherwise provided in the California Corporation Law.

All checks, drafts or other orders for payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, issued in the name of or payable by the Corporation, shall be signed or endorsed by such person or persons and in such manner as from time to time shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

All certificates shall be signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board or the President or Vice President and by the Chief Financial Officer of Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, certifying the number of shares and the class or series of shares owned by the shareholder. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on a certificate shall have ceased to be that officer, transfer agent or registrar before that certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if that person were an officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

 

Section 5.               LOST CERTIFICATES.

 

Except as provided in this Section 5, no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace an old certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation and cancelled at the same time.

The authority granted to these officers to vote or represent on behalf of the Corporation any and all shares held by the Corporation in any other corporation or corporations may be exercised by any of these officers in person or by any person authorized to do so by a proxy duly executed by these officers.

 

Section 7.               CONSTRUCTION AND DEFINITIONS.

 

Unless the contest so requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the California General Corporation Law shall govern the construction of these Bylaws.

BYLAWS

 

OF

 

GWM MACDOW, INC.

 

ARTICLE I

 

Offices

 

The principal office of the Corporation shall be at such place as the board of directors shall from time to time determine. The Corporation may have other offices, either within or without the State of Hawaii, as the board of directors may designate, or as the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.

 

ARTICLE II

 

Meetings of Shareholders

 

Section 2.1             Annual Meeting.     The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held each year at such time and place as the board of directors shall determine. The purpose of the annual meeting shall be electing directors and transacting other business as may come before the meeting. A unanimous written consent of shareholders may be executed in lieu of the annual meeting.

 

Section 2.2             Special Meetings.     Special meetings of shareholders may be held for any purpose or purposes. Special meetings shall be held at any time upon the call of the president, any director, or upon the written request of shareholders owning not less than one-tenth of the shares entitled to vote at the special meeting.

 

Section 2.3             Place of Meeting.     The board of directors may designate any place within or without the State of Hawaii for any annual or special meeting of shareholders. If no designation is made, the meeting shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation.

 

Section 2.4             Notice of Meetings. Written notice of all meetings, annual or special, shall state the place, day, and hour of the meeting and whether it is an annual or special meeting. In the case of a special meeting, the notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as provided in the next sentence, notice shall be delivered not less than ten days nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting. Notice of a meeting to vote upon a merger, consolidation, share exchange or sale of all or substantially all assets otherwise than in the usual and regular course of business shall be delivered not less than twenty days nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting. Notice shall be delivered either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president, the secretary, or

 



 

persons calling the meeting, to each registered holder entitled to vote at the meeting. If mailed, the notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder at the holder’s address as it appears on the stock transfer books of the Corporation. Waiver by a shareholder in writing of a notice of a shareholders’ meeting shall be equivalent to the giving of notice. Upon notice being given in accordance with provisions of this section, the failure of any shareholder to receive actual notice of any meeting shall not in any way invalidate the meeting or proceedings thereat.

 

Section 2.5             Quorum.     Except as otherwise provided by these bylaws, the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or law, a quorum at all meetings of shareholders shall consist of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present at any meeting, a majority of the shareholders present in person or by proxy may adjourn, from time to time, without notice other than by an announcement at the meeting, until holders of the number of shares required to constitute a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

 

Section 2.6             Closing of Transfer Books and Fixing Record Date. To determine shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of shareholders, or entitled to receive any dividend, or to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the board of directors of the Corporation may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed fifty days. If the stock transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, the books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding the meeting. In lieu of closing the stock transfer books, the Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders. In case of a meeting of shareholders, the record date shall be not less than ten or twenty days, as determined in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws, prior to the date on which the action requiring the determination of shareholders is to be taken. The record date shall never be more than fifty days prior to the date on which the action is to be taken. If the stock transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice or to vote at a meeting of shareholders or to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring the dividend is adopted shall be the record date for the determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, the same determination shall apply to any adjournment.

 

Section 2.7             Voting Record.     The secretary shall make from the stock transfer books a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting or any adjournment. The list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. The record shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at the meeting.

 



 

Section 2.8             Proxies.     A shareholder may vote either in person or by a proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

Section 2.9             Voting of Shares by Certain Shareholders. Shares held by another corporation may be voted by the officer, agent, or proxy prescribed by the bylaws of the corporation or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of the corporation may determine. However, shares held by a subsidiary of the Corporation shall not be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any time. Another corporation is a subsidiary of this Corporation for purposes of this section if this corporation owns a majority of the shares voted for election of directors. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by such person, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of the shares into the person’s name. If the shares have not been transferred into the person’s name, the person shall, as a prerequisite to voting, file with the Corporation a certified copy of the person’s letter evidencing the person’s authority as an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator. A trustee may not vote shares unless the shares have been transferred into the trustee’s name. Shares standing in the name of trustees may be voted by all or a majority of the trustees, either in person or by proxy. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by the receiver. Shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by the receiver without transfer into the receiver’s name if authority so to do is contained in an appropriate order of the court by which the receiver was appointed and the order is filed with the secretary. A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote the shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee. Thereafter, the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares transferred, unless prior to the meeting the pledgee or the pledgee’s representative shall file with the secretary a proxy for the pledgor to vote the stock.

 

Section 2.10           Consent of Shareholders.     Whenever the vote of shareholders at a meeting thereof is required or permitted to be taken in connection with any corporate action permitted by law, the meeting and vote of shareholders may be dispensed with if all of the shareholders who would have been entitled to vote upon the action consent in writing to the action being taken.

 

Section 2.11           Shares Held by Nominees. The board of directors may adopt by resolution a procedure whereby a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in writing to the Corporation that all or a portion of the shares registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person or persons. The resolution shall set forth (1) the types of record-holding shareholders who may certify, (2) the purpose or purposes for which the certificate may be made, (3) the form of certificate and information to be contained therein, (4) if the certificate is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer books, the time within which the certificate must be received by the Corporation, and (5) such other provisions with respect to the procedures as are deemed necessary or desirable. Upon receipt by the Corporation of a certificate complying with the procedure, the persons specified in the certificate shall be deemed, for the purpose or purposes set forth in the certificate, to be the holders of record of the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the

 



 

certificate.

Section 3.2             Removal. The entire board of directors or any director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by a vote of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at an election of directors. However, no director elected by cumulative voting may be removed if shareholders holding a sufficient number of shares to elect the director at an election of directors vote against the removal. In case any vacancy so created shall not be filled by the shareholders at the meeting, the vacancy shall be filled by the board of directors as hereinafter provided.

 

Section 3.3             Vacancies. Permanent vacancies on the board of directors caused by death, resignation, removal or other cause may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director so elected shall hold office for the unexpired term of the director’s predecessor in office.

 

Section 3.4             Committees of the Board. The board of directors may appoint committees of one or more directors. Anything to the contrary in Section 4.5 of these bylaws notwithstanding, committee members must be designated by a majority of the entire board of directors. If the board of directors appoints an executive or other committee, the executive or other committee may exercise all power of the board of directors, except that the executive or other committee may not: (1) authorize distributions; (2) approve or recommend to shareholders actions or proposals required to be approved by shareholders; (3) designate candidates for the office of director, for purposes of proxy solicitations or otherwise, or fill vacancies on the board of directors or any committee thereof (but the nominating committee may make recommendations to be approved or disapproved by the board of directors); (4) amend these bylaws; (5) approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval; (6) authorize or approve the reacquisition of shares unless pursuant to a general formula or method specified by the board of directors; or (7) authorize or approve the issuance or sale of, or any contract to issue or sell, shares or designate the terms of a series of class of shares, except as permitted by law or pursuant to a stock option or purchase plan approved by the board of directors. Each committee may determine its own procedures for meetings and decision making. If no determination is made, the provisions of sections 4.2, 4.4 and 4.5 shall apply as

 



 

if the committee were the board of directors.

 

ARTICLE IV

 

Meetings of the Board of Directors

 

Section 4.1             Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without notice other than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders.

Section 4.2             Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or any director. The person or persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors or the committee may fix any place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors or the committee called by them.

 

Section 4.3             Telephone Meetings. Subject to the provisions below regarding notice, members of the board of directors or any committee may participate in a meeting of the board of directors or committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

Section 4.4             Notice. The secretary shall give notice of each meeting of the board of directors. Notice shall be in writing and be mailed to the director’s mailing address, registered pursuant to Section 3.1 of these bylaws, not less than three days before the meeting. Notice may be given personally, by telephone, telecopy, telegraph, or other means than mail not less than one day before the meeting. Notice may also be given as otherwise prescribed in advance by the board of directors. The failure of any director to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of any meeting at which a quorum of directors is present. Notice need not be given to any director who shall, either before or after the meeting, sign a waiver of notice or who shall attend the meeting without protesting, prior to or at its commencement, the lack of notice. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Corporation’s articles of incorporation or these bylaws, a notice or waiver of notice need not state the purposes of the meeting.

 

Section 4.5             Quorum and Adjournment. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. No actions taken other than the election of directors to fill permanent vacancies, as provided in these bylaws, shall bind the Corporation unless it shall receive the concurring vote of a majority of the quorum of all the directors. In the absence of a quorum, the presiding officer or a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice until a quorum is present.

 

Section 4.6             Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or any committee at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action. To dissent, the director’s dissent or the director’s withholding of

 



 

the director’s vote shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting. Alternatively, the director shall file a written dissent to the action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward the dissent by registered or certified mail to the secretary within two days after the date of the action. The right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of the action.

 

ARTICLE V

 

Action by Board of Directors or Committee without a Meeting

 

Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors or a committee may be taken without a meeting if all of the directors or all the committee members consent in writing to the action.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 12.1           Indemnification Generally.     The Corporation shall indemnify each 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) if the person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or of any division of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer 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 the 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 proceedings, 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 or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, create a presumption that the person had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 12.2           Suits by or in the Right of the Corporation.     The Corporation shall indemnify each 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 because that person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or of any division of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer 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 the 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 the person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person’s duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which the 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, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

Section 12.3           Effect of Success in Defense.     To the extent that a person who is entitled

 



 

to indemnification has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this section, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection therewith.

 

Section 12.4           Authorization for Indemnification. Any indemnification under sections 12.1 and 12.2 of this article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only if authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because the person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in section 12.1 or 12.2. The determination may be made:

 

(1)           by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

 

(2)           if a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Corporation;

 

(3)           if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by a majority vote of the stockholders; or

 

(4)           by the court in which the proceeding is or was pending upon application made by the Corporation or the agent, attorney, or other person rendering services in connection with the defense, whether or not the application by the agent, attorney or other person is opposed by the Corporation.

 

Section 12.5           Expenses.     Expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in a particular case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay the amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that the person is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this article.

 

Section 12.6           Indemnification not Exclusive.     The indemnification provided by this article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the person.

 

Section 12.7           Insurance.     The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of the Corporation or of any division 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 the person and incurred by the person in any such capacity or arising out of the person’s status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the provisions of this article. Insurance may be procured from any

 



 

insurance company designated by the board of directors, including any insurance company in which the Corporation shall have any equity or other interest, through stock ownership or otherwise.

 

Section 12.8           Fiduciaries of Employee Benefit Plans.     Indemnification, expense advancement or the purchase of insurance for the benefit of any fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or another corporation in which the Corporation owns shares shall be made upon the authorization of the board of directors.

Re:                               Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel for Tutor Perini Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation (the “Issuer”) and each of the entities listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor” and, together with the Issuer, the “Registrants”). This opinion letter is being delivered in connection with the proposed registration by the Issuer of $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”), to be guaranteed (the “Guarantees”) by the Guarantors, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Such Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.”  The Exchange Notes are to be issued pursuant to the Indenture dated as of October 20, 2010, and as otherwise amended, supplemented or modified prior to the date hereof (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”).  The Exchange Notes are to be issued in exchange for and in replacement of the Issuer’s 75/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 issued on October 20, 2010 (the “Old Notes”), of which $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount is outstanding and is subject to the exchange offer pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) the Indenture, (ii) the Registration Statement, (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2010, by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., Comerica Securities, Inc., Santander Investment Securities Inc., Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., as initial purchasers of the Old Notes and (iv) forms of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees.

 



 

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Issuer and the Guarantors.

 

Our opinion expressed below is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principals of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) public policy considerations that may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that when (i) the Registration Statement becomes effective and (ii) the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees have been duly authorized, executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and duly delivered to holders of the Old Notes in exchange for the Old Notes and the guarantees related thereto (assuming the due authorization and execution of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees by the Issuer and the Guarantors and the due delivery of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees by the Issuer and the Guarantors to holders of the Old Notes in exchange for the Old Notes and the guarantees related thereto), the Exchange Notes will be validly issued under the Indenture and will be binding obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantees will be validly issued under the Indenture and will be binding obligations of the Guarantors.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement.  In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal law of the State of New York and represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction which enacted such law.  The manner in which any particular issue relating to the opinions would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case and would also depend on how the court involved chose to exercise the wide discretionary authority generally available to it.  None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers any foreign or state securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations.

This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion.

 

We have also assumed that the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the performance by the Issuer and the Guarantors of their obligations thereunder do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which any Registrant is bound.

 

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purposes.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

Incorporated (available June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993).

 

The Registrants hereby represent that they and their affiliates have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the New Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and, to the best of the Registrants’ information and belief, each person participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the New Notes in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer.  In this regard, the Registrants will make each person participating in the Exchange Offer aware (through the Exchange Offer prospectus) that any securityholder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a distribution of the securities to be

The Registrants also hereby represent that they will include in the offering material, including in the Letter of Transmittal, if the exchange offeree is a broker-dealer holding Old Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, an acknowledgment that such holder will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of New Notes received in respect of such Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
