EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the prospectus contained in this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 on Form S-1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) will be used as a combined prospectus in connection with the following registration statements (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”):

•

Registration Statement on Form S-3 originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2010 (File No. 333-171184), as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on January 13, 2011, registering the resale by the selling shareholders identified therein of 3,428,581 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Registrant’s unsecured 10% subordinated convertible promissory notes issued in October 2010 (the “2010 Notes”);

•

Registration Statement on Form S-3 originally filed with the SEC on July 14, 2011 (File No. 333-175541), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on July 18, 2011, registering the resale by the selling shareholders identified therein of: (i) 1,020,828 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Registrant’s unsecured 10% subordinated convertible promissory notes issued in March, April and May 2011 (the “2011 Notes”); and (ii) 250,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of the 2011 Notes (the “2011 Placement Agent Warrant”); and

•

Registration Statement on Form S-3 originally filed with the SEC on September 14, 2012 (File No. 333-183912) registering the resale by the selling shareholders identified therein of: (i) 2,158,265 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Registrant’s unsecured 8% subordinated convertible promissory notes issued in July 2012 (the “2012 Notes” and, together with the 2011 Notes and the 2010 Notes, the “Notes”); (ii) 100,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to a placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of the 2012 Notes (the “2012 Placement Agent Warrant”); (iii) 300,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant issued to an affiliate of such placement agent in connection with certain bridge financing (the “Bridge Warrant” and, together with the 2011 Placement Agent Warrant and the 2012 Placement Agent Warrant, the “Warrants”)); and (iv) 50,000 shares of common stock issued to such placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of the 2012 Notes.

In addition to the shares of common stock discussed above, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the Prior Registration Statements also registered an indeterminate number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants in connection with stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization or similar events.

Due to certain late SEC filings during 2013, the Registrant is no longer eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form S-3. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to amend each of the Prior Registration Statements into a registration statement on Form S-1 to maintain the registration of the securities previously registered on each of the Prior Registration Statements. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, the prospectus included in this Post-Effective Amendment is a combined prospectus for each of the Prior Registration Statements (Nos. 333-171184, 333-175541 and 333-183912), and this Post-Effective Amendment also constitutes a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to each of the Prior Registration Statements (Nos. 333-171184, 333-175541 and 333-183912). Such Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 shall hereafter become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of this Post-Effective Amendment in accordance with Section 8(c) of the Securities Act.

As a result of stock dividends declared and paid by the Registrant in 2011 and 2012, the number of shares of common stock for which the Notes and Warrants are currently convertible or exercisable, as applicable, has increased since the original issuance of the Notes and Warrants, with such increased number of shares being registered on the Prior Registration Statements pursuant to Rule 416. Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment continues the registration of: (i) 2,229,491 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Notes; (ii) 1,114,675 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2011 Notes; (iii) 275,625 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2011 Placement Agent Warrant; (iv) 2,267,003 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2012 Notes; (v) 105,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Placement Agent Warrant; (vi) 315,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Bridge Warrant; and (vii) 52,500 shares of common stock issued to the placement agent in connection with the offer and sale of the 2012 Notes.

No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of each of the Prior Registration Statements. Pursuant to Rule 429(b) under the Securities Act, the prospectus included in this Post-Effective Amendment is a combined prospectus for each of the Prior Registration Statements (Nos. 333-171184, 333-175541 and 333-183912), and this Post-Effective Amendment also constitutes a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to each of the Prior Registration Statements (Nos. 333-171184, 333-175541 and 333-183912) .

The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling shareholders may not sell these securities pursuant to this prospectus until the registration statement of AdCare Health Systems, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting offers to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

The Company

Overview

We own and manage skilled nursing facilities and assisted living facilities in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. As of September 30, 2013, we own, lease and manage 47 facilities consisting of 43 skilled nursing facilities, three assisted living facilities and one independent living/senior housing facility which total approximately 4,781 beds/units. Our facilities provide a range of health care services to patients and residents, including, but not limited to, skilled nursing and assisted living services, social services, various therapy services and other rehabilitative and healthcare services for both long-term residents and short-stay patients. As of September 30, 2013, of the total 47 facilities, we owned and operated 26 facilities, leased and operated nine facilities, managed 11 facilities for third parties and had one consolidated variable interest entity.

Our skilled nursing and assisted living facilities provide services to individuals needing long-term care in a nursing home or assisted living setting. We provide a full complement of administrative services as well as consultative services that permit our local facility leadership teams to better focus on the delivery of healthcare services. We also provide these services to unaffiliated third party long-term care operators and/or owners with whom we enter into management contracts. We currently provide these services to two unaffiliated facility owners. Each of our facilities is led by highly dedicated individuals who are responsible for key operational decisions at their facilities. Facility leaders and staff are trained and motivated to pursue superior clinical outcomes, high patient and family satisfaction, operating efficiencies and financial performance at their facilities. In addition, our facility leaders are enabled and motivated to share real-time operating data and otherwise benchmark clinical and operational performance against their peers in other facilities in order to improve clinical care, maximize patient satisfaction and augment operational efficiencies, promoting the sharing of best practices.

Much of our historical growth can be attributed to our expertise in acquiring under-performing facilities and transforming them into market leaders in clinical quality, staff competency, employee loyalty and financial performance. We intend to continue to grow our revenue and earnings by:


•	focusing on efficiencies in our operations and internal growth;


•	increasing the proportion of sub-acute patients within our skilled nursing facilities;


•	expanding clinical programs within our existing facilities;


•	continuing to acquire additional facilities in existing and new markets; and


•	evaluating and potentially targeting the acquisition of complementary businesses which provide services to skilled nursing facilities.

Growth Strategy

Our objective is to be the provider of choice for health care and related services to the elderly in the communities in which we operate. We intend to grow our business through numerous initiatives.

We expect to continue to increase occupancy rates and revenue per occupied unit at our facilities. We believe that our current operations serve as the foundation on which we can build a large fully-integrated senior living company. We intend to target attractive geographic markets by using our existing infrastructure and operating model to provide a broad range of high quality care in a cost-efficient manner.

Organic Growth. We intend to focus on improving our operating margins within all of our facilities. We continually seek to maintain and improve our operating margins by:


•	increasing the proportion of higher revenue sub-acute health care services delivered at our skilled nursing facilities;


•	attracting new residents through the on-site marketing programs focused on residents and family members;


•	actively seeking referrals from professional community outreach sources, including area religious organizations, senior social service programs, civic and business networks, as well as the medical community; and


•	continually refurbishing and renovating our facilities.

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We believe that our current infrastructure and extensive contacts within the industry will continue to provide us with the opportunity to evaluate numerous acquisition opportunities. We believe there is a significant opportunity for growth with a private to public arbitrage and opportunity to increase our operating margins by evaluating and potentially targeting the acquisition of complementary businesses which provide services to skilled nursing facilities.

Fragmentation in the Industry Provides Acquisition and Consolidation Opportunities. The senior living industry is highly fragmented and we believe that this provides significant acquisition and consolidation opportunities. We believe that the limited capital resources available to many small, private operators impede their growth and exit prospects. We believe that we are well positioned to strategically approach small private operators and offer them exit strategies which are not currently available as well as the ability to grow their business.

Emphasize Employee Training and Retention. We devote special attention to the hiring, screening, training, supervising and retention of our employees and caregivers. We have adopted comprehensive recruiting and screening programs for management positions that utilize corporate office team interviews and background and reference checks. We believe our commitment to, and emphasis on, quality hiring practices, employee training and retention differentiates us from many of our competitors.

Positioned for Growth. As part of our growth strategy, we endeavor to acquire independently owned, often times family operated, skilled nursing facilities. We then utilize our proven clinical management and marketing programs to increase the proportion of more clinically complex sub-acute patients. These patients generate higher revenue per patient day. In many situations these patients are also more profitable. Additionally we are able to leverage our enhanced purchasing power and increase operating profit by

providing more cost effective supplies and ancillary services. These management practices also assist in providing quality care to our patients and residents.

Pursue Management Contracts. We intend to pursue management opportunities for senior living communities. We believe that our management infrastructure and proven operating track record will allow us to take advantage of increased opportunities in the senior living market for new management contracts for third-party operators.

Operating Strategy

Our operating philosophy is to provide affordable, quality care to our patients and residents. We execute this strategy by empowering and supporting our local leadership teams at the facilities. These facility teams are supported by seasoned regional staff that provide consultative assistance from both a clinical and operations perspective. Additionally, we provide centralized back office administrative services to the facilities such as accounting, payroll and accounts payable processing, purchasing, and information technology support. Centralizing these non-patient centric activities is more efficient and cost effective and frees up facility staff to focus on patient care.

Increase Revenues and Profitability at Existing Facilities. Our strategy includes increasing facility revenues and profitability levels through increasing occupancy levels, increasing the percentage of sub-acute patients, maximizing reimbursement rates as appropriate, providing additional services to our current residents, and containing costs. Ongoing initiatives to promote higher occupancy levels and appropriate payor and case mixes at our senior living facilities include corporate programs to promote specialized care and therapy services as well as initiatives to improve customer service and develop safety programs to improve worker compensation insurance rates.

Offer Services Based on Level of Care. Our range of products and services is continually expanding to meet the evolving needs of our patients and residents. We have developed a variety of special clinical programs and care offerings that are responsive to particular geographic markets.

Improve Operating Efficiencies. We actively monitor and manage our operating costs. By having an established portfolio of properties, we believe that we have a platform to achieve operating efficiencies through economies of scale in the purchase of bulk items, such as food, and in the spreading of fixed costs, such as corporate overhead, over a larger revenue base, and the ability to provide more effective management supervision and financial controls.

Increase Occupancy Through Emphasis on Marketing Efforts. We emphasize strong corporate support for the marketing of our various local facilities. At a local level, our sales and marketing efforts are designed to promote higher occupancy levels and optimal payor mix. Management believes that the long-term care industry is fundamentally a local industry in which both patients and residents and the referral sources for them are based in the immediate local geographic area of the facility.

Promote an Internally-Developed Marketing Program. We focus on the identification and provision of services needed by the community. We assist each facility administrator in analysis of local demographics and competition with a view toward complementary service development. Our belief is that this locally based marketing approach, coupled with strong corporate monitoring and support, provides an advantage over regional competitors.

Operate the Facility Based Management Model. We hire an administrator/manager and director of nursing for each of our skilled nursing facilities and provide them with autonomy, responsibility and

accountability. We believe this allows us to attract and retain higher quality administrators and directors of nursing. This leadership team manages the day-to-day operations of each facility, including oversight of the quality of care, delivery of resident services, and monitoring of the financial performance and marketing functions. We actively recruit personnel to maintain adequate staffing levels at our existing facilities and provide financial and budgeting assistance for our administrators, directors of nursing and department managers.

Corporate Information

Our principal executive offices are located at 1145 Hembree Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076, and our telephone number is (678) 869-5116. We maintain an Internet website at www.adcarehealth.com. This reference to our website is an inactive textual reference only and is not a hyperlink. The contents of our website are not part of this prospectus, and you should not consider the contents of our website in making an investment decision with respect to our securities.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, and September 30, 2013. The risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. If any of the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus actually occurs, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the market price of the common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Additional Risks Related to the Offering

The price of the common stock has fluctuated and is subject to volatility.

The market price of the common stock has fluctuated and could fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of various factors and events, many of which are beyond our control. These factors may include:


•	variations in our operating results;


•	changes in our financial condition, performance and prospects;


•	changes in general economic and market conditions;


•	the departure of any of our key executive officers and directors;


•	announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, or transactions;


•	press releases or negative publicity relating to us or our competitors or relating to trends in health care;


•	government action or regulation, including changes in federal, state, and local health-care regulations to which we are subject;


•	the level and quality of securities analysts' coverage for our stock;


•	changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts with respect to us or our competitors; and


•	future sales of the common stock.

Furthermore, the stock market in recent years has experienced sweeping price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of affected companies. These market fluctuations may also cause the price of the common stock to decline.

In the event of fluctuations in the price of the common stock, shareholders may be unable to resell shares of the common stock at or above the price at which they purchased such shares. Additionally, due to fluctuations in the price of the common stock, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on past results as an indication of future performance.

Sales of a significant number of shares of the common stock in the public markets, or the perception that such sales could occur, could depress the market price of the common stock and impair our ability to raise capital.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of the common stock or other equity-related securities in the public markets, including the issuance of the common stock upon exercise of options or warrants or conversion of Notes could depress the market price of the common stock. Such sales also may impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, if at all.

We do not currently pay cash dividends on the common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on the common stock. We intend to retain any future earnings after payment of dividends on our 10.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to fund our operations and, therefore, we currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.

We could be prevented from paying dividends on the common stock.

We are a holding company, and we have no significant operations. We rely primarily on dividends and other distributions from our subsidiaries to us so we may, among other things, pay dividends on the common stock, if and to the extent declared by the Board of Directors. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends and other distributions to us depends on their earnings and is restricted by the terms of certain agreements governing their indebtedness. If our subsidiaries are in default under any such agreement, then they may not pay dividends or other distributions to us.

In addition, we may only pay dividends on the common stock if we have funds legally available for the payment of dividends and such payment is not restricted or prohibited by law, the terms of any shares with higher priority with respect to dividends or any documents governing our indebtedness. No cash dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment, for all past dividend periods. In addition, one of our mortgage loans prohibits the payment of dividends on our stock if we fail to comply with certain financial covenants or if a default or event of default under the loan agreement has occurred. Moreover, another one of our mortgage loans requires the consent of the lender and the guarantor prior to the payment of any dividends on our stock. As such, we could become unable, on a temporary or permanent basis, to pay dividends on our stock, including the common stock. In addition, future debt, contractual covenants or arrangements we or our subsidiaries enter into may restrict or prevent future dividend payments.

The payment of any future dividends on the common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, on the earnings and results of operations of our subsidiaries, their ability to pay dividends and other distributions to AdCare under agreements governing their indebtedness, our financial condition and capital requirements, any debt service requirements and any other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant.

In preparing our consolidated financial statements for recent periods, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were ineffective. If they continue to be ineffective, then it could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, among other things.

As of December 31, 2012, our management determined that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were ineffective due to material weaknesses in our ability to appropriately account for complex or non-routine transactions and in the quality and sufficiency of our financial and accounting resources. Our management has also determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2013.

We have implemented, or plan to implement, remedial measures designed to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. If these remedial measures are insufficient to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, or if material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, then we may fail to meet our future SEC reporting obligations on a timely basis, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, we could be required to restate our prior period financial results, our operating results may be harmed, we may be subject to class action litigation, and the common stock and the Series A Preferred Stock could be removed from listing on the NYSE MKT. Any failure to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures that are required to be included in our SEC filings. Internal control deficiencies and ineffective disclosure controls and procedures could also cause investors to lose confidence in us and our reported financial information and, therefore, could adversely impact our ability to borrow money and readily access the capital markets to obtain required liquidity.

We give no assurance that the measures we have taken, or plan to take in the future, will remediate the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures or that any material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

Takeover defense provisions may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

Various provisions of Georgia corporation law and of our corporate governance documents may inhibit changes in control not approved by the Board of Directors and may have the effect of depriving our investors of an opportunity to receive a premium over the prevailing market price of the common stock in the event of an attempted hostile takeover. In addition, the existence of these provisions may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. These provisions include:


•	a requirement that special meetings of shareholders be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman, the President, or the holders of shares with voting power of at least 25%;


•	a classified Board of Directors; and


•	availability of “blank check” preferred stock.

Furthermore, we have elected to be governed by the “business combination” and “fair price” provisions of the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “GBCC”) that could be viewed as having the effect of discouraging an attempt to take control of us. The business combination provisions would prohibit us from engaging in various business combination transactions with any interested shareholder for a period of five years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder unless certain designated conditions are met. The fair price provision generally restricts us from entering into certain Business Combinations (as defined in the GBCC) with an interested shareholder unless the transaction is unanimously approved by the continuing directors who must constitute at least three members of the board of directors at the time of such approval; or the transaction is recommended by at least two-thirds of the continuing directors and approved by a majority of the shareholders excluding the interested shareholder. For more information on these provisions of the GBCC and our other takeover defense provisions see “Description of Capital Stock— Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the GBCC.”

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, or in other written or oral statements made by us, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements relate to matters such as our industry, business and acquisition strategies, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. We have used the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “future” and similar terms and phrases to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions or judgments that prove to be incorrect. In addition, our business and operations involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could result in our expectations not being realized or otherwise materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these factors, they include, among others, the following:


•	the impact of regulatory and licensing changes in the healthcare industry;


•	changes in the healthcare industry due to economic and political influences;


•	delays in reimbursement, or changes to reimbursement levels, under current Medicaid and Medicare programs;


•	changes to our mix of payment sources among our current and future patients;


•	our ability to complete and successfully integrate future facility or business acquisitions;


•	our ability to obtain financing in the future in order to fund future facility or business acquisitions;


•	our ability to compete in a competitive industry;


•	our ability to retain and replace qualified nurses, health care professionals and other key personnel;


•	litigation risks;


•	environmental compliance costs and liabilities associated with our facilities;


•	the potential for us to experience additional operating losses;


•	our need to make capital expenditures to maintain and improve our facilities;


•	the potential for increased interest costs on our existing and future debt; and


•	the other factors discussed in our filings with the SEC.

Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be accurate. Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required by the securities laws to do so.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All proceeds from the resale of the shares of the common stock offered by this prospectus will belong to the selling shareholders who offer and sell their shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the shares of the common stock by the selling shareholders. We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, if they are exercised on a cash basis. We intend to use any proceeds from any such exercise for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We make no assurance that any Warrant will ever be exercised.

MARKET PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK

The common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “ADK.” The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices per share of the common stock on the NYSE MKT, in each case for the periods indicated.

First Quarter	$	5.12	$	3.66
Second Quarter	$	6.26	$	3.85
Third Quarter	$	4.98	$	3.82
Fourth Quarter (through December 26, 2013)	$	4.50	$	3.62
2012

On December 26, 2013, the last closing sale price reported on the NYSE MKT for the common stock was $4.27 per share.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends with respect to the common stock. Our ability to pay dividends will depend upon our future earnings and net worth. We are restricted by Georgia law from paying dividends on the common stock if we are not able to pay our debts as they become due in the normal course of business or if our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of the shareholders whose preferential rights are superior. In addition, no cash dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payments, for all past dividend periods. Furthermore: (i) one of our mortgage loans prohibits the payment of dividends on our stock if we fail to comply with certain financial covenants or if a default or event of default under the loan agreement has occurred; and (ii) another one of our mortgage loans requires the consent of the lender and the guarantor prior to payment of dividends on our stock.

Except for payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, we currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and growth of our business. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.

DIRECTOR AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Director Compensation

Director Compensation and Reimbursement Arrangements. Effective July 1, 2012, our independent directors are paid $6,000 per month plus an additional (i) $1,500 per month, if serving as a chairperson of one of the committees of the Board of Directors; and (ii) $500 per month, if serving on more than one committee.

On November 12, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a program, which was also approved by the entire Board of Directors, to replace certain cash compensation otherwise payable to our directors with equity compensation, thereby reducing the amount of cash compensation payable by us (the “Cash Compensation Reduction Program”). The Cash Compensation Reduction Program provides that: (i) director fees otherwise payable in cash to our independent directors for service on the Board of Directors will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in options to purchase common stock granted pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan; and (ii) $50,000 of the compensation otherwise payable in cash to Mr. Tenwick for his service as Chairman of the Board of Directors will be paid in options to purchase common stock granted pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The options will be granted on November 12th of each year in respect of compensation for the following calendar year and will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value (as defined in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan) of the common stock on the date of grant. The options will vest with respect to 1/12 of the underlying shares of common stock on the last day of each month of the following calendar year, with vesting to be accelerated upon a change of control (as defined in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan) as provided for in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and each option will have a value equal to the amount of cash compensation such option is intended to replace in respect of compensation for the following calendar year, with such value to be determined as of the date of grant and in accordance with the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Cash Compensation Reduction Program is applicable commencing with compensation payable in respect of the year ending December 31, 2014.

Non-employee directors are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses for travel in connection with their duties as directors.

Director Compensation Table. The following table sets forth information regarding compensation paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Brogdon Consulting Agreement. Mr. Brogdon served as our Chief Acquisition Officer from September 2009 through December 2012, although we did not enter into an employment agreement with him. We entered into a three-year Consulting Agreement with Mr. Brogdon, dated December 31, 2012 (the “Brogdon Agreement”).

In addition, no success fee shall be paid for transactions involving leased facilities or transactions in which the overall consideration is less than $2,500,000. The Brogdon Agreement may be terminated by us at any time without “cause” upon: (1) a vote of the majority of the Board of Directors; and (2) thirty (30) days written notice to Mr. Brogdon; provided, however, that we shall provide severance pay to Mr. Brogdon in an amount equal to eighteen (18) months of Mr. Brogdon’s maximum total compensation (including success fees).

(1)	Bonuses for 2013 have not yet been finally determined. If a bonus is awarded for 2013, then the Company will file a Form 8-K reporting such award.

(2)

The amounts set forth in Columns (E) and (F) reflect the full aggregate grant date fair value of the awards. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model for estimating the fair values of employee share options, employee and nonemployee warrants and similar instruments with the following key assumptions: (i) Expected Dividend Yield-the Company has not historically paid cash dividends on its common stock, and does not expect to pay cash dividends on its common stock in the near future. Accordingly, our expected dividend yield is zero; (ii) Expected Volatility-the Company estimates the expected volatility factor using the Company’s historical stock price volatility; (iii) Risk-Free Interest Rate-the Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the expected term of the options and warrants being valued; (iv) Expected Term-the Company currently uses a simplified method for calculating the expected term based on the vesting and contractual expiration dates. For non-employee warrants awarded to certain service providers or financing partners, the Company uses the contractual life of the warrants as the expected term, as the Company does not have sufficient experience with the service providers or financing partners to determine when they could be expected to exercise their warrants. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of employee stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:



	2013	2012
Dividend Yield	0.0%	0.0%
Expected Volatility	43.5%-63.2%	40.0%-46.1%
Risk-Free Interest Rate	0.12%-0.88%	0.25%-1.05%
Expected Term	5.2 years	4.0-6.5 years

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of non-employee stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model are set forth in the following table:



	2013	2012
Dividend Yield	0.0%	0.0%
Expected Volatility	46.9%-51.7%	38.5%-47.8%
Risk-Free Interest Rate	0.07%-0.328%	0.25%-0.72%
Expected Term	2.0-5.2 years	3-10 years

Gentry, Rubenstein and Fleming: (i) will be granted on November 12th of each year in respect of compensation for the following calendar year; (ii) will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value (as defined in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan) of the common stock on the date of grant; (iii) will vest with respect to 1/12 of the underlying shares of common stock on the last day of each month of the following calendar year, with vesting to be accelerated upon a change of control (as defined in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan) as provided for in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan; and (iv) will have a value equal to the amount of

cash compensation such option is intended to replace in respect of compensation for the following calendar year, with such value to be determined as of the date of grant and in accordance with the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The participation of Messrs. Gentry, Rubenstein and Fleming in the Cash Compensation Reduction Program will cease upon a change of control (as defined in their respective employment agreements). Their participation in the Cash Compensation Reduction Program does not reduce or increase their salary for purposes of calculating any post-termination, change in control or severance payments, or any other payments or benefits calculated based upon salary, otherwise payable to them pursuant to their respective employment agreement. The Cash Compensation Reduction Program is applicable commencing with compensation payable in respect of the year ending December 31, 2014.

Boyd P. Gentry. We have entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Gentry (the “Gentry Agreement”). The terms of the Gentry Agreement provide for an initial annual salary of $300,000 per year, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee thereafter. Pursuant to such review: (i) from January 1, 2012 through July 1, 2012, Mr. Gentry received an annual salary of $330,000; (ii) from July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Mr. Gentry received an annual salary of $400,000; and (iii) effective January 1, 2013, Mr. Gentry receives an annual salary of $450,000. Pursuant to the Cash Compensation Reduction Program and commencing with compensation payable in respect of the year ending December 31, 2014, Mr. Gentry has agreed to accept $50,000 of his salary payable in options to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in lieu of cash compensation otherwise payable to him as discussed above. The Gentry Agreement also includes an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of the annual salary based on standards to be established by the Compensation Committee.

Pursuant to the Gentry Agreement, Mr. Gentry also received equity compensation in the form of a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $4.13 per share. As a result of certain anti-dilution adjustments, the warrant currently represents the right to purchase 275,626 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.75. The warrant vested as to one-third of the underlying shares on each of January 10, 2011, January 9, 2012 and January 9, 2013. If Mr. Gentry resigns his employment for “good reason” or the Company terminates Mr. Gentry’s employment without “cause,” then Mr. Gentry shall be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of his annual salary plus target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period of twenty-four (24) months after his termination date (the “Gentry Initial Severance Period”), plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a change in control, then Mr. Gentry is entitled to an additional payment equal to the sum of his annual salary plus target bonus, payable at least monthly in substantially equal installments over a period not to exceed twelve (12) months, which period shall begin immediately after the expiration of the Gentry Initial Severance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Mr. Gentry resigns his employment for any reason upon or within three (3) months after the occurrence of a “change in control,” Mr. Gentry shall be entitled to receive severance pay (in lieu of the severance pay described in the immediately preceding sentence) in an amount equal to three (3) times the sum of annual salary plus target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for thirty-six (36) months after the termination date. For the period for which severance pay is paid (the “Gentry Severance Period”), Mr. Gentry and his family are entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of the Company under which executive officers of the Company are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers; provided, however, if the Company is prohibited by applicable law or its insurer from covering Mr. Gentry under any such plan, then the Company is required to pay Mr. Gentry an amount each month during the Gentry Severance Period equal to the Company’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers. For definitions of “cause,” “good reason” and “change of control” see “Executive and Director Compensation-Executive Compensation-Employment Agreements-Applicable Terms.”

David Rubenstein. We have entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Rubenstein (the “Rubenstein Agreement”). The terms of the Rubenstein Agreement include an annual salary of $300,000 per year which increased to $325,000 effective June 30, 2012, an annual performance bonus of up to 75% of the annual salary based on standards to be established by the Compensation Committee and a one-time signing bonus of $150,000. Pursuant to the Cash Compensation Reduction Program and commencing with compensation payable in respect of the year ending December 31, 2014, Mr. Rubenstein has agreed to accept $25,000 of his annual salary payable in options to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in lieu of cash compensation otherwise payable to him as described above. Pursuant to the Rubenstein Agreement, on December 19, 2011, Mr. Rubenstein received equity compensation in the form of: (i) a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $4.13 per share, which warrant vests as to one-third of the underlying shares on each of the three subsequent anniversaries of the grant date; and (ii) a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $4.97 per share, which warrant vests as to one-third of the underlying shares on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. As a result of such anti-dilution adjustments, the warrants now represent the right to purchase: (i) 105,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.93 per share; and (ii) 105,000 shares at an exercise price of $4.58 per share. In the event Mr. Rubenstein resigns for a “good reason” or a “change in control” occurs while Mr. Rubenstein is employed by the Company, the warrants immediately become 100% vested.

If, after a minimum of six (6) months of continuous employment with the Company Mr. Rubenstein resigns his employment for “good reason” or the Company terminates Mr. Rubenstein’s employment without “cause” (other than due to his disability), then Mr. Rubenstein shall receive the severance pay and benefits hereafter provided. The severance pay shall be an amount equal to one (1) times the sum of his annual salary payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period of twelve (12) months after his termination date (the “Rubenstein Initial Severance Period”), plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, then Mr. Rubenstein is entitled to an additional one-half (½) times the sum of his annual salary and target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period six (6) months, which period shall begin immediately after the expiration of the Rubenstein Initial Severance Period. For the period for which severance pay is paid (the “Rubenstein Severance Period”), Mr. Rubenstein and his family are entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of the Company under which executive officers of the Company are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers; provided, however, if the Company is prohibited by applicable law or its insurer from covering Mr. Rubenstein under any such plan, then the Company shall pay to Mr. Rubenstein an amount each month during the Rubenstein Severance Period equal to the Company’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers. For definitions of “cause,” “good reason” and “change of control” see “Director and Executive Compensation-Executive Compensation-Employment Agreements-Applicable Terms.”

Ronald W. Fleming. We have entered into an Employment Agreement with Mr. Fleming, effective May 15, 2013 and amended as of December 11, 2013 (the “Fleming Agreement”). The terms of the Fleming Agreement include an annual base salary of $270,000 per year, to be subject to review on an annual basis thereafter, and an annual bonus with a target amount equal to at least 75% of the annual salary (provided, however, that the bonus paid for 2013 will be based on the salary actually paid during 2013 and shall not be less than $80,000), based on reasonably expected performance. Pursuant to the Cash Compensation Reduction Program and commencing with compensation payable in respect of the year ending December 31, 2014, Mr. Fleming has agreed to accept $20,000 of his salary payable in options to purchase common stock pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in lieu of cash compensation otherwise payable to him as described above. Pursuant to the Fleming Agreement: (i) on May 15, 2013, Mr. Fleming received equity compensation in the form of a warrant to purchase 70,000 shares of common stock, with an exercise price equal to $5.90 per

share, which vests as to one-third of the underlying shares on each of the three subsequent anniversaries of the grant date; and (ii) on December 23, 2013, Mr. Fleming received 30,000 shares of restricted common stock, which vest as to one-third of the shares on each of May 15, 2014, May 15, 2015 and May 15, 2016.

In the event Mr. Fleming resigns for “good reason” or a “change in control” occurs while Mr. Fleming is employed by the Company, the warrants and the restricted stock immediately become 100% vested. If, after a minimum of six (6) months of continuous employment with the Company Mr. Fleming resigns his employment for “good reason” or the Company terminates Mr. Fleming’s employment without “cause” (other than due to his disability), then Mr. Fleming shall receive severance pay in the form of salary continuation, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period of twelve (12) months after his termination, plus if such termination occurs within three (3) months before or twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, then Mr. Fleming is entitled to severance pay in the form of salary continuation, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period of eighteen (18) months after his termination date, plus an additional sum equal to one-half (½) his target bonus, payable in substantially equal installments at least monthly for a period six (6) months, which period shall begin twelve (12) months following his termination date. For the period for which severance pay is paid (the “Fleming Severance Period”), Mr. Fleming and his family are entitled to continue to be covered under all employee benefit plans of the Company under which executive officers of the Company are covered and at the same cost and under the same terms and conditions as apply to executive officers; provided, however, if the Company is prohibited by applicable law or its insurer from covering Mr. Fleming under any such plan, then the Company shall pay to Mr. Fleming an amount each month during the Fleming Severance Period equal to the Company’s cost of coverage for similarly situated executive officers. For definitions of “cause,” “good reason” and “change of control” see “Director and Executive Compensation-Executive Compensation-Employment Agreements-Applicable Terms.”

Applicable Terms. For purposes of each of the Gentry Agreement, Rubenstein Agreement and Fleming Agreement the term resignation for “good reason” means the officer’s resignation within ninety (90) days following the Company’s failure to cure a material breach of the agreement within thirty (30) days after the officer gives the Company written notice of such breach within ninety (90) days of the occurrence of such breach. For the purposes of each of the Gentry Agreement, Rubenstein Agreement, Fleming Agreement and Brogdon Agreement, the term “cause” means the officer’s fraud, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or gross negligence in his performance of his duties, or the individual’s conviction for a crime of moral turpitude, or material breach by the individual of the agreement which the individual fails to cure within thirty (30) days after the Company gives the officer written notice of such breach. For purposes of each of the Gentry Agreement, Rubenstein Agreement, Fleming Agreement and Brogdon Agreement, the term “change in control” means one or more sales or dispositions, within a twelve (12) month period, of assets representing a majority of the value of the assets of the Company or the acquisition (whether by purchase or through a merger or otherwise) of common stock of the Company immediately following which the holders of common stock of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition cease to own directly or indirectly common stock of the Company or its legal successor representing more than 50% of the voting power of the common stock of the Company or its legal successor.

Stock Incentive Plans. At our 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 3, 2011, the shareholders adopted the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan is intended to further the growth and profitability of our Company by providing increased incentives to encourage share ownership on the part of key employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors who render services to us and any future parent or subsidiary of ours, including our named executive officers. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of stock options and restricted stock awards (collectively, “Awards”) to eligible participants. At our 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 1, 2012, the shareholders adopted

an amendment to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan that increased the maximum number of shares of Company stock that may be granted under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan from 1,000,000 to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares. Subject to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to determine the persons who will be granted Awards under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan and the terms and conditions of such Awards, and to construe and interpret the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for making adjustments in outstanding Awards, the shares available for Awards, and the numerical limitations for Awards to reflect transactions such as stock splits and dividends. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to one or more directors or officers; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and powers: (i) with respect to Section 16 reporting persons; or (ii) in any way which would jeopardize the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan’s qualifying under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the exercise of options through cash, or with the consent of the Compensation Committee: (1) by tendering previously acquired shares; (2) by tendering a full recourse promissory note of the optionee; (3) through a cashless exercise without the payment of cash by reducing the number of shares of common stock that would be obtainable upon the exercise of the option; (4) through a brokerage transaction; or (5) through any combination of the foregoing. The 2011 Stock Incentive Plan provides the issuance of both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options.

Retirement Programs. Our retirement programs are designed to facilitate the retirement of employees, including our named executive officers, who have performed for us over the long term. We currently maintain a 401(k) plan with a match of 50% of the first 2% of an employee’s contribution as well as non-qualified employee stock purchase program. The terms of these plans are essentially the same for all employees. Our named executive officers participate in the plans on the same basis as all other employees. We do not provide our named executive officers any special retirement benefits.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a summary of certain terms of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is in all respects subject to, and qualified in its entirety to references to, the relevant provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Georgia law. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus form a part, and copies are available from us upon request.

General

As of December 26, 2013, our authorized capital stock consisted of:


•	55,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of which 16,016,373 were outstanding; and


•	5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 950,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock and all such designated shares are outstanding.

Common Stock

Voting Rights. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record on the applicable record date on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Except for the election of directors, which is determined by a plurality vote of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election, or as otherwise may be provided by applicable law or the rules of the NYSE MKT, a corporate action voted on by shareholders generally is approved, provided a quorum is present, if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action. Holders of the common stock will not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

Dividend Rights. Holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights or other preferences granted to the holders of any of the outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Rights Upon Liquidation. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all remaining assets available for distribution to shareholders after payment of, or provision for, our liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of shares of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Preemptive Rights. Holders of common stock do not have any preemptive rights to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire any unissued or treasury shares or other securities of ours.

Series A Preferred Stock

Dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 10.875% per annum of the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, equivalent to $2.7187 per annum per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrue daily and are cumulative from, but excluding, the date of original issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last calendar day of each March, June, September and December.

Under certain conditions relating to our non-payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, or if the Series A Preferred Stock is no longer listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT or The NASDAQ Global, Global Select or Capital Market or any comparable national securities exchange or securities market (each, a “national exchange”) for at least 180 consecutive days, the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will increase to 12.875% per annum (the “Penalty Rate”).

Penalties as a Result of Failure to Pay Dividends. If, at any time, there is a dividend default because cash dividends on the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock are accrued but not paid in full for any four consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods (a “Dividend Default”), then, until we have paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock in full: (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased to the Penalty Rate commencing on the first day after the missed fourth quarterly payment; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the voting rights described under “—Voting Rights.” Once we have paid all accumulated and unpaid dividends in full and has paid cash dividends at the Penalty Rate in full for an additional two consecutive quarters the dividend rate will be restored to the stated rate and the foregoing provisions will not be applicable unless we again fail to pay a quarterly dividend during any future quarter.

Penalties as a Result of Failure to Maintain a Listing on a National Exchange. If we fail for 180 or more consecutive days to maintain a listing of the Series A Preferred Stock on a national exchange (a “Delisting Event”), then: (i) the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock will be increased to the Penalty Rate on the 181st day; and (ii) the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the voting rights described under “—Voting Rights.” Such increased dividend rate and voting rights will continue for so long the as Series A Preferred Stock is not listed on a national exchange.

Special Redemption Upon Change of Control. Following a “Change of Control” of us by a person or entity, we (or the acquiring entity) will be required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, within 120 days after the date on which the Change of Control has occurred for cash, at the price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to the redemption date.

A “Change of Control” will be deemed to occur when the following have occurred and are continuing:

•

the acquisition by any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions of our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition); and


•	following the closing of any acquisition described in the bullet point above, neither we nor the acquiring or surviving entity has a class of common securities (or American depositary receipts representing such securities) listed on a national exchange.

Optional Redemption. We may not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to December 1, 2017, except we will be required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock following a Change of Control. On and after December 1, 2017, we may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for cash at our option, from time to time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to the redemption date.

Ranking. The Series A Preferred Stock will rank: (i) senior to the common stock and any other shares of stock that we may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such stock ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up (“junior shares”); (ii) equal to any shares of stock that we may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such stock ranks on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up (“parity shares”); (iii) junior to all other shares of stock issued by us, the terms of which specifically provide that such stock ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case with respect to payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up (any such issuance would require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock) (“senior shares”); and (iv) junior to all our existing and future indebtedness.

Liquidation Preference. If we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our operations, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to receive $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to, but excluding, the date of payment, before any payments are made to the holders of the common stock and any other junior shares, if any. The rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to receive the liquidation preference will be subject to the proportionate rights of holders of each other future series or class of parity shares and subordinate to the rights of senior shares.

Voting Rights. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock generally will not have any voting rights, except as otherwise required by law. However, if a Dividend Default or Delisting Event occurs, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (voting together as a class with the holders of all other classes or series of stock we may issue upon which similar voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote as a class with the Series A Preferred Stock in the election referred to below) will be entitled to vote for the election of two additional directors to serve on the Board of Directors until a “Correction Event,” as described in our Articles of Incorporation, occurs. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will be required for us to authorize or issue any class or series of senior shares, to amend any provisions of the Articles of Incorporation so as to materially and adversely affect any rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or to take certain other actions.

No Maturity. The Series A Preferred Stock will not have any stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, except following a Change of Control. Accordingly, absent a Change of Control, the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem them.

No Conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock is not, pursuant to its terms, convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property.

Other Series of Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by shareholders, to issue one or more additional series of preferred stock. The Board of Directors may determine the preferences, limitations and relative rights of: (i) any class of shares before the issuance of any shares of that class; or (ii) one or more series within a class, and designate the number of shares within that series, before the issuance of any shares of that series. In addition, after the Board of Directors has established a series of preferred stock, the Board of Directors may increase or decrease the number of shares contained in the series, but not below the number of shares then issued, or eliminate the series where no shares have been issued. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection

with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action by shareholders and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, the common stock. These effects might include, among other things, restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting the voting power of the common stock or impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock.

Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the GBCC

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions that could make more difficult an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are expected to discourage specific types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids as well as to encourage persons seeking to acquire control to first negotiate with us. Although these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, we believe that the benefits of increased protection through the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of such proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Classified Board of Directors. Our Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall be no less than three and no greater than 12 as may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors from time to time. The Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at seven. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, each of which shall be as nearly equal in number of directors as possible. The initial terms of the Class I directors, Class II directors and Class III directors are one year, two years and three years, respectively. After the expiration of the initial terms, successors to the directors in each of Class I, Class II and Class III will have a three-year term, with one class of directors being elected each year.

Shareholder Action Through Written Consent. Our Bylaws require unanimous consent for shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Removal of Directors; Board of Directors Vacancies. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that directors may be removed only for “cause” and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all votes entitled to be cast in the election of such directors. “Cause” shall mean only: (i) conviction of a felony; (ii) declaration of unsound mind by an order of a court; (iii) gross dereliction of duty; (iv) commission of an action involving moral turpitude; or (v) commission of an action which constitutes intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law if such action results in an improper substantial personal benefit and a material injury to the corporation. Furthermore, our Bylaws provide that, in the event a director was elected by the shares of one or more classes or series of our stock that are counted together collectively, then that director may only be removed by the majority vote of such voting group.

Our Bylaws provide that any vacancy on the Board of Directors (including vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors) may be filled: (i) by a majority of the remaining directors; or (ii) the shareholders. In addition, our Bylaws provide that, if a director is elected to fill a vacancy, then the director shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen, provided that any director filling a vacancy by reason of an increase in the number of directors, where such vacancy is filled by the directors, shall serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until the election of his successor. If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the holders of shares of that voting group or the remaining directors elected by that voting may vote to fill the vacancy.

Georgia “Fair Price” Statute. Sections 14-2-1110 through 14-2-1113 of the GBCC (the “Fair Price Statute”), generally restrict a company from entering into certain Business Combinations (as defined in the GBCC) with an interested shareholder unless the transaction is: (i) unanimously approved by the continuing directors who must constitute at least three members of the board of directors at the time of such approval; or (ii) the transaction is recommended by at least two-thirds of the continuing directors and approved by a majority of the shareholders excluding the interested shareholder.

Georgia “Business Combination” Statute. Sections 14-2-1131 through 14-2-1133 of the GBCC (the “Business Combination Statute”), generally restrict a company from entering into certain business combinations (as defined in the GBCC) with an interested shareholder for a period of five (5) years after the date on which such shareholder became an interested shareholder unless: (i) the transaction is approved by the board of directors of the company prior to the date the person became an interested shareholder; (ii) the interested shareholder acquires at least 90% of the company’s voting stock in the same transaction (calculated pursuant to GBCC Section 14-2-1132) in which such person became an interested shareholder; or (iii) subsequent to becoming an interested shareholder, the shareholder acquires at least 90% (calculated pursuant to GBCC Section 14-2-1132) of the company’s voting stock and the business combination is approved by the holders of a majority of the voting stock entitled to vote on the matter (excluding the stock held by the interested shareholder and certain other persons pursuant to GBCC Section 14-2-1132).

The GBCC provides that the restrictions set forth in the Fair Price Statute and the Business Combination Statute will not apply unless the bylaws of the company specifically provide that these provisions of the GBCC are applicable to the corporation (and in certain other situations). In our Bylaws, we have elected to be covered by such statutes.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

The selling shareholders may use this prospectus for the resale of shares of common stock being registered hereunder for their accounts, although no selling shareholder is obligated to sell any such shares. The following tables set forth certain information regarding the selling shareholders and the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, which information is known to us as of December 26, 2013. We are not able to estimate the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the selling shareholders after the completion of this offering because the selling shareholders may offer all, some, or none of the shares and because, to our knowledge, there currently are no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any such shares. See “Plan of Distribution.”

2010 Offering

In October 2010, we sold and issued an aggregate of $11,800,000 in principal amount of the 2010 Notes to the selling shareholders identified in the table below under “2010 Offering.” The 2010 Notes bear interest at rate of 12.0% per annum payable quarterly in cash in arrears and mature on August 29, 2014. The 2010 Notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to our existing and future senior indebtedness. The current conversion price of the 2010 Notes is $3.73 per share. The conversion price is subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other similar event. If at any time on or after the six-month anniversary date of the issuance of the 2010 Notes, the weighted average price of the common stock for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds 200% of the conversion price and the average daily trading volume of the common stock during such 20 days exceeds 50,000 shares, then we may, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, redeem the 2010 Notes in cash at a redemption price equal to the sum of 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such principal. In addition, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the 2010 Notes then outstanding may require us to redeem all or any portion of the 2010 Notes upon a change of control transaction, at a redemption price in cash equal to no less than 110% of the redemption amount. Effective October 26, 2013, the 2010 Notes were amended to, among other things: (i) extend the maturity date from October 26, 2013 until August 29, 2014; (ii) increase the interest rate from 10.0% per annum to 12.0% per annum; (iii) delete the requirement to adjust the conversion price of the 2010 Notes for dilutive equity issuances; and (iv) provide for a cash payment equal to 2.0% of any principal amount which is converted before August 29, 2014.

* Represents less than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 26, 2013.

† Represents shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2010 Notes.

†† Represents shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2011 Notes.

††† Represents shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2012 Notes.

¹For purposes of this table, “beneficial ownership” is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, pursuant to which a selling shareholder is deemed to have beneficial ownership of any shares of common stock that such selling shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of December 26, 2013.

²Shares are beneficially owned directly by the selling shareholder, unless otherwise indicated. Under the terms of the Notes, a selling shareholder holding any such Notes may not convert such Notes to the extent such conversion would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% upon the election of the holder) of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion, excluding for purposes of such determination the number of shares of common stock issuable upon: (i) conversion of the Notes which have not been converted; and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to an analogous limitation on conversion or exercise analogous.

³ In accordance with the terms of the applicable registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders holding the Notes, this prospectus covers the resale of at least 120% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. Because the conversion price of the Notes may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued upon conversion of the Notes may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

⁴ Based upon 16,016,373 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 26, 2013. For the purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of common stock held by the selling shareholders named above, any shares which any selling shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of December 26, 2013, are deemed to be outstanding.

⁵ Assumes that all shares of common stock being offered and registered hereunder are sold, although the selling shareholders are not obligated to sell any such shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the Notes and Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling securityholders of the shares of common stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling shareholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be affected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions,


•	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;


•	in the over-the-counter market;


•	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;


•	through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;


•	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;


•	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;


•	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;


•	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;


•	privately negotiated transactions;


•	short sales;


•	sales pursuant to Rule 144;


•	broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;


•	a combination of any such method of sale; and


•	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling shareholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders or commissions from

purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.) In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling shareholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledges or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name and names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the applicable registration rights agreements to which they are a party, or

the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the applicable registration rights agreement to which they are a party, or we may be entitled to contribution.

DISCLOSURE OF SEC POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

While indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling people, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim of indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling people in a successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with our securities, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, ask a court of appropriate jurisdiction to decide whether or not such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act. We will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws limit the liability of our officers and directors to the extent currently permitted by the GBCC.

Subsection (a) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (i) such individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (ii) such individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, (B) in all other cases, that such conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that the individual had no reasonable cause to believe that such conduct was unlawful. Subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct, or in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he or she was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to Section 14-2-854 of the GBCC, a court may order a corporation to indemnify a director if such court determines, in view of all the relevant circumstances, that it is fair and reasonable to indemnify or advance expenses to the director, even if the director has not met the relevant standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC, failed to comply with Section 14-2-853 of the GBCC, or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (d) of Section 14-2-851 of the GBCC but if the director was adjudged so liable, the indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

Section 14-2-857 of the GBCC provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is an officer of the corporation

to the same extent as a director. If the officer is not a director (or if the officer is a director but the sole basis on which he or she is made a party to the proceeding is an act or omission solely as an officer), the corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to such officer to such further extent as may be provided by the articles of incorporation or the bylaws of the corporation, by a resolution of the board of directors of the corporation, or by contract, except for liability arising out of conduct that constitutes: (1) the appropriation, in violation of their duties, of any business opportunity of the corporation; (2) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (3) the types of liability set forth in Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC; or (4) receipt of an improper personal benefit. An officer of a corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 14-2-852 of the GBCC and may apply to a court under Section 14-2-854 of the GBCC for indemnification or advances, in each case to the same extent to which a director may be entitled to indemnification under those provisions. Finally, a corporation may also indemnify an employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation or bylaws, by general or specific action by its board of directors or by contract.

Our Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the GBCC, we shall indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company, provided that this limitation of liability does not apply to any liability: (i) for any transaction in which the individual appropriated a business opportunity of the Company; (ii) for any acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 14-2-832 of the GBCC (governing unlawful distributions to shareholders); or (iv) for any transaction from which the individual derived an improper personal benefit. Furthermore, our Bylaws provide for mandatory advancement of expenses provided that a director or officer provides: (A) a written affirmation of his good faith belief that his conduct does not constitute the kind of behavior with respect to which the Bylaws do not provide indemnification; and (B) his written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under our Bylaws or the GBCC.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)	To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;


(ii)	To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,

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


(iii)	To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;


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


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


(4)	That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:


(i)	If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:


(A)	each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B)

each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was

part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

(ii)

If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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 this 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.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:


(i)	any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;


(ii)	any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;


(iii)	the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and


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

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, 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.

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.


(2)	For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
