POWERSECURE INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Who We Are

     PowerSecure International, Inc., headquartered in Wake Forest, North Carolina, is a leading provider of Energy and Smart Grid Solutions to electric utilities and their commercial, institutional and industrial customers, and of Energy Services to oil and natural gas producers. We provide these customers with products and services in four strategic business areas:

	•		Interactive Distributed Generation®,
	•		Utility Infrastructure,
	•		Energy Efficiency, and
	•		Energy Services.

     Our Energy and Smart Grid Solutions segment is operated through our largest wholly-owned subsidiary PowerSecure, Inc., which we refer to as “our PowerSecure subsidiary.” This segment includes three of our four strategic business areas: Interactive Distributed Generation^®, Utility Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency. These three areas are focused on providing utilities and their commercial, institutional and industrial customers with products and services to help them generate, deliver and utilize electricity more efficiently and are intended to deliver strong returns on investment. This segment operates primarily out of our Wake Forest, North Carolina headquarters office, and its operations also include several satellite office and manufacturing facilities, the largest of which are in Raleigh, North Carolina, McDonough, Georgia, and Anderson, South Carolina.

     Our Interactive Distributed Generation^® business involves manufacturing, installing and operating electric generation equipment located at the facility where the power is used, including commercial, institutional, and industrial operations, generally on behalf of electric utilities. Our equipment provides a dependable backup power supply during power outages, and provides a more efficient and environmentally friendly source of power during high cost periods of peak power demand. Our Interactive Distributed Generation systems contain our proprietary electronic controls, which enable our systems to be monitored around the clock by our smart grid monitoring center, protecting our customers’ operations from power outages and their costs. Through our monitoring center, we also forecast utilities’ peak demand periods, and electronically deploy our systems during these periods to power the customers’ operations instead of drawing electricity from the utility grid. Our smart grid monitoring center ensures that our interactive distributed generation systems deliver more efficient and environmentally friendly power at optimal times and durations. This more efficient peak demand power supply benefits both the utility and the customer whose facility is being powered by the system. Our systems also enable utilities to delay new infrastructure investments for transmitting and distributing power, and minimize energy losses associated with moving electricity over long distances.

     Our Utility Infrastructure business is focused on helping electric utilities design, build, upgrade and maintain infrastructure that enhances the efficiency of their grid systems. Our products and services include transmission and distribution system construction and maintenance, installation of advanced metering and efficient lighting, and emergency storm restoration. Additionally, we provide utilities with a wide range of engineering and design services, as well as consulting services for regulatory and rate design matters.

     Our Energy Efficiency area is focused on providing energy solutions to commercial, institutional, and industrial customers that deliver strong returns on investment by reducing energy costs, improving their operations, and benefiting the environment. Our primary business in this area is our EfficientLights business, and our primary product is our EfficientLights LED-based, or light-emitting diode based, lights that reduce the energy and maintenance costs for refrigerated cases in grocery, drug, and convenience stores. Additionally, we are in the process of developing other LED-based lighting products, including additional in-store retail lighting, and LED-based street lights and security lights. Our other business in this area is our EnergyLite business, which designs and installs cost-effective energy improvement systems for general lighting, building controls and other facility upgrades.

     Our Energy Services segment is operated through our two other principal operating subsidiaries, Southern Flow Companies, Inc., which we refer to as “Southern Flow,” and WaterSecure Holdings, Inc., which we refer to as “WaterSecure.” Our Southern Flow business provides oil and natural gas measurement services to customers involved in oil and natural gas production, transportation and processing, with a focus on the natural gas market.

Southern Flow is headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, and provides these services through ten division offices located throughout the Gulf of Mexico, Southwest, Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions. WaterSecure owns approximately 40% of the equity interests in an unconsolidated business, Marcum Midstream 1995-2 Business Trust, which we refer to as “MM 1995-2” or as our “WaterSecure operations.” Our WaterSecure operations provide water processing and disposal services for oil and natural gas producers in northeastern Colorado utilizing environmentally responsible technologies and processes.

     In this prospectus, references to “PowerSecure,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean PowerSecure International, Inc. together with its subsidiaries, and references to our “PowerSecure subsidiary” means PowerSecure, Inc. alone, unless we state otherwise or the context indicates otherwise.

     We were incorporated in Delaware on April 5, 1991. On August 22, 2007, we changed our name to PowerSecure International, Inc. from Metretek Technologies, Inc., recognizing that the significant growth in the business operations of our PowerSecure subsidiary resulted in it becoming our core business and the business best positioned in the marketplace to lead our growth in the future. Our principal executive offices are located at 1609 Heritage Commerce Court, Wake Forest, North Carolina 27587, and our telephone number at those offices is (919) 556-3056. Our internet website address is www.powersecure.com. The contents of and the information on or accessible through our corporate website is not a part of, and is not incorporated into, this prospectus, other than the documents that we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and any references to our website are intended to be an inactive textual references only.

Recent Developments

          On April 6, 2010, we announced that we have launched an expansion of our LED lighting business through the formation and acquisition of a two-thirds controlling interest in Innovative Electronic Solutions Lighting, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which we refer to as “IES”, which acquired substantially all of the assets and business of a leading LED lighting development company, in order to accelerate the expansion of new LED lighting products and to capitalize on the growing marketplace for LED lighting. IES will design and manufacture new LED-based lighting products for commercial, industrial, and retail customers. The business of IES will include turn-key product development, design and manufacturing of solid state LED-based lights, including power drivers, light engines, and thermal management solutions.

          IES commenced its business and operations by acquiring, on April 1, 2010, substantially all of the assets and business of Innovative Electronic Solutions, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, which conducted a solid state LED-based lighting design and manufacturing business. Our PowerSecure Subsidiary owns two-thirds of the membership interests in, and controls the management of, IES. Our PowerSecure Subsidiary contributed approximately $4.4 million to IES to fund the capitalization of IES and the acquisition by IES of substantially all of the assets and business of the seller as well as the assumption by IES of the seller’s current liabilities. In connection with its sale and contribution of substantially all of its asset and business to IES, the seller received the remaining one-third of the membership interest in IES.

          Commencing in 2012, under certain terms and conditions set forth in the governing documents of IES, we have the right to acquire the remaining one-third minority interest in IES currently held by the seller in exchange for shares of our common stock in an amount equal to the value of that minority interest determined under a formula based on the after-tax net income of IES attributable to that minority interest over the four prior quarters multiplied by our consolidated fully diluted price/earnings ratio over the same period, adjusted for non-recurring or extraordinary items, discounted by 30%. If we have reported a net loss for that period, then the minority interest value will be computed based upon the revenues of IES over the four prior quarters multiplied by our consolidated fully diluted price/revenue ratio over the same period, discounted by 30%. Under the applicable formula, in either case, the minimum minority interest value is $10 million. In the event of a change in control of either us or our PowerSecure subsidiary, then we will be deemed to have automatically exercised our right to acquire the IES minority interest, subject to a minimum minority interest value of $10 million. We are required to deliver freely tradeable shares if we exercise this right. Accordingly, if we exercise our right to acquire the minority interest of IES, we may use this prospectus to cover the issuance of our shares of common stock in exchange for the minority interest in IES.

          On April 30, 2010, our PowerSecure subsidiary, which owned two-thirds of the equity interests in EfficientLights, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, exercised its option to purchase the one-third minority interest in EfficientLights. The minority interests in EfficientLights were previously owned by the founder, who is

also the President, of EfficientLights and by five other key employees of EfficientLights. EfficientLights markets and sells LED-based lights that reduce the energy and maintenance costs for refrigerated cases in grocery, drug, and convenience stores, and is in the process of developing other LED-based lighting products, including additional in-store retail lighting, and LED-based street lights and security lights. As a result, EfficientLights has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of our PowerSecure subsidiary and there will no longer be a reduction in our consolidated net income due to the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. Our PowerSecure subsidiary acquired the minority interest in EfficientLights in exchange for 1,025,641 shares of our common stock, which had a value of $11,548,717, based on $11.26, the last sale price of our common stock on April 30, 2010 as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

     The following is a description of the general terms of our common stock and of certain provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which we refer to as our restated certificate, and of our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which we refer to as our restated bylaws. This description is a summary only and not meant to be complete, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, which we refer to as the DGCL, and to our restated certificate and of our restated bylaws. For more detailed information, you should refer to our restated certificate and our restated bylaws, which we have filed with the SEC and are available as described below under “Where You Can Find More Information,” and the DGCL.

General

     Under our restated certificate, we are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share. As of May 26, 2010, 18,250,041 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

Voting Rights, Dividends and Other Rights

     The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors or any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for our securities. Our common stock is not convertible into any other securities and is not subject to redemption by us. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and any additional shares of our common stock that we may issue under this prospectus will upon issuance be, fully paid and non-assessable.

     Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of preferred stock then outstanding, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board out of funds legally available for that purpose.

     In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in our net assets that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts and obligations and after payment of any liquidation preferences to the holders of any shares of preferred stock then outstanding.

     The rights of holders of our common stock are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may issue in the future.

Listing

     Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “POWR.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

     The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

     Certain provisions of Delaware law, our restated certificate and restated bylaws, and our stockholder rights plan discussed below could discourage, delay or prevent a proxy contest or other change in control or a change in management. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition

of our board and in the policies formulated by the board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of us. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights.

     Delaware Business Combinations Statute. We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. For purposes of Section 203, a “business combination” is defined broadly to include a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and, subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with such person’s affiliates and associates, owns (or, within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock.

     Blank Check Preferred Stock. Our restated certificate authorizes the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock were not designated as of the date of this prospectus. The board has the authority, without further approval of the stockholders, to issue and determine the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each series of preferred stock, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, the voting rights, dividend rate, conversion or exchange rights, redemption rights and price (including sinking fund provisions) and liquidation preference. The board can issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and fix the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof. The rights and preferences of any series of preferred stock that we issue in the future could adversely affect the voting power and ownership interest of holders of our common stock. See “Description of Preferred Stock” below.

     Classified Board of Directors and Limitation on Removal of Directors. Our restated certificate provides that our Board is divided into three classes, each serving staggered three-year terms, so that only approximately one-third of the directors are elected at each annual meeting of stockholders. All directors elected to our classified Board will serve until the election and qualification of their respective successors or their earlier resignation or removal. The Board is authorized to create new directorships and to fill such positions so created and is permitted to specify the class to which any such new position is assigned. The person filling such position would serve for the term applicable to that class. The Board (or its remaining members, even if less than a quorum) is also empowered to fill vacancies on the Board occurring for any reason for the remainder of the term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. Members of the Board may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote at an election of directors.

     Advance Notice Provisions for Stockholder Proposals and Stockholder Nominations of Directors. Our restated bylaws contain provisions requiring that, in order for nominations to the Board or for other business to be properly brought by a stockholder before a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must first have given timely notice of the proposal in writing to our Secretary. Generally, for an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, provided if the date of the annual meeting is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be delivered not later than the 90^th day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was first made. The notice must set forth specific information regarding the proposing stockholder, the proposed business or director nominee and such other information, and the stockholder must follow the procedures, specified in the restated bylaws. Such requirements in our restated bylaws are in addition to the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC under the Exchange Act. If it is determined that a nomination or other business was not properly brought before a meeting in accordance with our restated bylaw provisions, such business will not be conducted and such nominee will be disregarded at the meeting.

     Special Meetings of Stockholders. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by our Chairman of the Board, our President or by our Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of our Board. Business to be transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of the special meeting.

     No Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our restated certificate and our restated bylaws require that nay action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be taken at a duly called meeting of the stockholders and may not be taken by written consent without a meeting.

     Size of the Board. Our restated bylaws provide that the number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, provided it shall be not less than four nor more than nine.

     Filling Board Vacancies. Under our restated bylaws, any vacancy and any newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors will be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, and the director so chosen will hold office until the election of the class of directors for such directorship.

     Super-Majority Stockholder Vote Required for Certain Actions. The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to authorize a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all assets or similar transaction or to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage. Our restated certificate requires the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of our outstanding voting shares in order for us to consolidate or merge with or into another corporation, to cause a combination or majority share acquisition, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or to dissolve, unless two-thirds of our Board approves that action or transaction. In addition, our restated certificate provides that our restated certificate and our restated bylaws can only be amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of our outstanding voting shares, unless two-thirds of our Board approves such amendment or repeal.

     Other Provisions in our Restated Certificate. Our restated certificate contains other provisions that could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a third party from attempting to acquire us. For example, our restated certificate contains a fair price provision that sets minimum price requirements for potential acquirers under certain conditions. In addition, our restated certificate contains anti-greenmail provisions which limit our ability to repurchase shares of common stock from significant stockholders.

     Stockholder Rights Plan. Our Board has adopted a stockholder rights plan, through an amended and restated rights agreement. The rights plan may have the effect of delaying, deterring, or preventing changes in our management or control of us, which may discourage potential acquirers who otherwise might wish to acquire us without the consent of the Board. Under the rights plan, if a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock, all holders of rights (other than the acquiring stockholder) may, upon payment of the purchase price then in effect (which is currently $15.00 per right), purchase common stock having a value of twice the purchase price. In the event that we are involved in a merger or other similar transaction where we are not the surviving corporation, all holders of rights (other than the acquiring stockholder) shall be entitled, upon payment of the then in effect purchase price, to purchase common stock of the surviving corporation having a value of twice the purchase price. The rights are redeemable by us for $0.01 per right, and will expire on November 30, 2011, unless we extend the terms of the rights agreement or we earlier redeem or exchange the rights.

     Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Our restated certificate and restated bylaws contain provisions permitted under the DGCL eliminating the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty, except in circumstances involving wrongful acts, such as the breach of a director’s duty of loyalty or acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. In addition, our restated certificate and restated bylaws contain provisions requiring us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers providing them with broad rights of indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

     We are authorized to issue up to 3,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 1,000,000 shares were designated as Series B and intended for a previous private placement, 500,000 shares were designated as Series C and reserved for issuance under our rights plan, and 2,000,000 shares are undesignated and available for issuance as “blank check” preferred stock. As of May 26, 2010, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.

     The following description of the general terms of our preferred stock is a summary only and not meant to be complete, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to our restated certificate and to the certificate of designations relating to any new series of preferred stock we offer hereunder. For more detailed information, you should refer to

our restated certificate, which we have filed, and to one or more certificates of designations related to any new series of preferred stock we offer under this prospectus, which prior to offering hereunder we will file, with the SEC as described below and are or will be available as provided under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

	•		voting rights;
	•		dividend rate;
	•		conversion or exchange rights;
	•		redemption rights and price (including sinking fund provisions); and
	•		liquidation preferences.

     Our board may fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these series. The powers, preferences and relative, participation, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of each series will be fixed by a certificate of designation relating to each series. If we issue shares of any series of preferred stock under this prospectus, the prospectus supplement relating to each series will specify the terms of the preferred stock, including, if applicable, the following:

	•		the maximum number of shares in the series and the distinctive designation;
	•		the terms on which dividends will be paid, if any;
	•		the terms on which the shares may be redeemed, if at all;
	•		the liquidation preference, if any;

	•		the voting rights, if any, on the shares of the series; and
	•		any or all other preferences and relative, participating, operational or other special rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

     The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the related warrant agreements and warrant certificates. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the prospectus supplement, the terms of any warrants offered under that prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Specific warrant agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and will be incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement which includes this prospectus.

General

     We may issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock or our preferred stock, or a combination thereof, in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities.

     Each series of warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate warrant agreement. We may enter into each warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of any warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.

     If we issue warrants pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of each series of warrants, including, as applicable, the following:

	•		the title of the warrants;
	•		the offering price for the warrants, if any;
	•		the aggregate number of warrants offered;
	•		the designation, number and terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
	•		if the warrants are issued as a unit with another security, the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
	•		the exercise price of the warrants;
	•		the dates or periods during which the warrants are exercisable;
	•		any minimum or maximum amount of warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
	•		the designation and terms of any securities with which the warrants are issued;
	•		the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;
	•		the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
	•		any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or the number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;
	•		any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the warrants;
	•		the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified;
	•		the federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
	•		any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

          Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or the right to exercise voting rights, if any.

Exercise of Warrants

     Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to 5:00 P.M. New York City time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

     Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrants will be required to deliver to the warrant agent upon exercise of the warrants.

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

Enforceability of Rights By Holders of Warrants

     Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case

of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of warrants may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrants, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

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

     If we issue any units pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of and other information relating to such units, including, as applicable, the following:

	•		the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
	•		any applicable material U.S. Federal income tax consequences;
	•		the terms of any unit agreement governing the units; and
	•		any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

     The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock”, “Description of Preferred Stock” and “Description of Warrants,” will apply to each unit, as applicable, and to any common stock, preferred stock or warrant included in each unit.

RESELLING SECURITIES

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

     Selling security holders may agree that:

	•		an offering of securities under this prospectus be effected in an orderly manner through securities dealers, acting as broker or dealer, selected by us;
	•		they will enter into custody agreements with one or more banks with respect to such securities; and
	•		that they make sales only by one or more of the methods described in this prospectus, as appropriately supplemented or amended when required.

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

     Selling security holders may sell securities:

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

	•		in special offerings;
	•		directly to purchasers in privately negotiated transactions;
	•		by or through brokers or dealers, in ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
	•		in block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell securities as an agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal;
	•		in transactions in which a broker or dealer purchases as principal for resale for its own account;
	•		through underwriters or agents; or
	•		in any combination of these methods.

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

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

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

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

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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

     The amount and type of consideration we will offer and the other specific terms of each acquisition will be determined by negotiations with the owners or the persons who control the businesses, assets or securities to be acquired after taking into account the current and anticipated future value of such businesses, assets or securities, along with all other relevant factors. We may structure business acquisitions in a variety of ways, including acquiring stock, other equity interests or assets of the acquired business or merging the acquired business with us or

one of our subsidiaries. The securities issued to the owners of the businesses, assets or securities to be acquired normally are valued at a price based on or reasonably related to the market value of such securities when the terms of the acquisition are tentatively or finally agreed to, when the acquisition is completed, when we issue the securities or during some other negotiated period.

     This prospectus may be supplemented to furnish the information necessary for a particular negotiated transaction and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be amended or supplemented, where appropriate, to supply information concerning an acquisition.

     We will pay all expenses of this registration and any offerings of securities under this prospectus. We do not expect to pay underwriting discounts or commissions in connection with the offer and sale of securities under this prospectus, although we may pay brokers’ commissions or finders’ fees from time to time in connection with certain acquisitions, and the fees may be paid through the issuance of securities covered by this prospectus. Any person receiving brokers’ commissions or finders’ fees may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the resale of securities purchased by them may be considered underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

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

     The validity of the securities offered under this prospectus is being passed upon for us by Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter Co., L.P.A., Columbus, Ohio.
