Risk Factors

There are a number of risks related to our business and our securities that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should carefully consider all the information presented in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus and the other information contained in this prospectus.

Background

Insurance Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”) was formed in March 2018 as a special purpose acquisition company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination, with one or more businesses or assets (the “initial business combination”). Shift was launched in 2014 and is an auto ecommerce platform that enables customers to buy, sell and test drive cars and purchase ancillary products and services. On October 13, 2020, IAC acquired Shift (which we refer to as “the Merger”) and changed its name to Shift Technologies, Inc. in connection with the Merger. Prior to the Merger, IAC’s common stock, units and warrants traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “INSU,” “INSUU” and “INSUW,” respectively. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company continued the listing of its common stock and warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SFT” and “SFTTW,” respectively, effective October 15, 2020. Since January 2021, the Company does not have any publicly registered warrants issued and outstanding.

Presentation of Financial Operating Data

The Merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, IAC, who was the legal acquirer in the Merger, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes and Shift is treated as the accounting acquirer. This determination was primarily based on Shift having a majority of the voting power of the Company, Shift’s senior management comprising substantially all of the senior management of the Company, the relative size of Shift compared to IAC, and Shift’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Merger is treated as the equivalent of a capital transaction in which Shift is issuing stock for the net assets of IAC. The net assets of IAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Merger are those of Shift.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Corporate Information

The mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is 290 Division Street, Suite 400, San Francisco, CA 94103 and the telephone number is (855) 575-6739. Our website address is www.shift.com. The information found on the website is not part of, and is not incorporated into, this prospectus.

Convertible Note Offering

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of up to 17,622,520 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Notes or pursuant to any other term of the Notes. On May 24, 2021, we entered into the purchase agreement by and among the Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman & Sachs Co. LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers named therein which provided for the purchase of the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our future senior unsecured indebtedness, senior in right of payment to our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated to the notes and effectively subordinated to our future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness. The Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries.

The Notes accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2021, at a rate of 4.75% per year. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by us.

The Notes are convertible into shares of our Class A common stock at an initial conversion rate of 118.6556 shares of our Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $8.43 per share of our Class A common stock). The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 27.50% over the reported sale price of our Class A common stock on May 24, 2021, which was $6.61 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events prior to the maturity date. We will increase the conversion rate for a noteholder who elects to convert its notes in connection with certain corporate events or our delivery of a notice of redemption, as the case may be, in certain circumstances as provided in the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. We are registering 17,622,520 shares of our Class A common stock, with such amount equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes being registered by the Selling Stockholders by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part at the maximum conversion rate of 151.2859 shares of our Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, without taking into account the limitations on the conversion of such Notes.

Before November 15, 2025, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholder only if specific conditions are met. Thereafter until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the Maturity Date, the Notes will be convertible at the option of the noteholders at any time regardless of these conditions. Conversions of the Notes will be settled in cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination thereof, at our election.

The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to the partial redemption limitation (as described in the Indenture)), at our option at any time, and from time to time, on or after May 20, 2024 and on or before the 40^th scheduled trading day immediately before the Maturity Date, at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if (i) the last reported sale price per share of our Class A common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on (1) each of at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the trading day immediately before the date we send the related redemption notice; and (2) the trading day immediately before the date we send such notice; and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of our Class A common stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Notes in connection with such optional redemption is effective and available for use and is expected, as of the date the redemption notice is sent, to remain effective and available during the period from, and including the date the redemption notice is sent to, and including, the business day immediately before the related redemption date, unless we elect cash settlement in respect of the conversions in connection with such optional redemption.

In addition, calling any Note for redemption will constitute a make-whole fundamental change with respect to that Note, in which case the conversion rate applicable to the conversion of that Note will be increased in certain circumstances if it is converted after it is called for redemption. If we elect to redeem less than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the date we send the related redemption notice.

We granted the Selling Stockholders certain registration rights requiring us to register, under the Securities Act, the resale of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. This prospectus is to register the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. There are no contractual transfer restrictions or lock-up arrangements on the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Notes. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the applicable agreements, each of which has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of up to 17,622,520 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Notes or pursuant to any other term of the Notes. For additional information regarding the issuance of those Notes, see “Prospectus Summary – Convertible Note Offering.”

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the securities set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. There are no contractual transfer restrictions or lockup arrangements on the common shares issuable under the Notes. When we refer to the “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Stockholders’ interest in the Notes and the securities issuable thereunder after the date of this prospectus.

The shares of Class A common stock being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus were issued, or became issuable, in connection with the respective transactions by the Selling Stockholders to offer and sell of up to 17,622,520 shares of our Class A common stock issuable upon conversion or redemption of the Notes or pursuant to any other term of the Notes. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part pursuant to the provisions of the registration rights agreement we entered into in connection with our issuance of the Notes and in part pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that the Selling Stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after the sale of the shares of Class A common stock hereby. We have based percentage ownership on 81,307,550 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of November 22, 2021. The number and percentage of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned after the offering listed in the table below is calculated on a fully diluted basis and assumes, in the case of the Notes, the conversion of all of the Notes into Class A common Stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable. Except as otherwise described below, based on the information provided to us by the Selling Stockholders, no Selling Stockholder is a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will convert the Notes or will otherwise receive any shares of Class A common stock upon conversion or redemption of the Notes and, to the extent they do, whether or when they will in fact sell any or all of such securities. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus, subject to applicable law. Because the Selling Stockholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the securities, we cannot estimate the number of securities that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that all of the common shares that are covered by this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholders.

The following tables set forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the name of the Selling Stockholders for whom we are registering shares, and the number of such shares that such Selling Stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus.

Based on information provided to us in writing by the Selling Stockholders specifically for use herein and as of the date the same was provided to us, assuming that the Selling Stockholders sell all the shares of our Class A common stock, as applicable, beneficially owned by them that have been registered by us and do not acquire any additional shares during the offering, the Selling Stockholders will not own any shares other than those appearing in the columns entitled “Shares of Class A common stock Beneficially Owned After Offering”. A Selling Stockholder may sell all, some or none of such securities in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Relationship with Selling Stockholders

See “Relationships and Related Party Transactions” in our Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a description of certain material relationships between us and the Selling Stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

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

The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Class A common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Class A common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Class A 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 effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

	●	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 or settlement 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 made after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the SEC;

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

	●	a combination of any such methods of sale; and

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of Class A common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may transfer the shares of Class A common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Class A 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 Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Class A 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 Class A common stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Class A common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of Class A common stock short and deliver shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Class A common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Class A common stock, issuable upon conversion of the Notes, owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Class A 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 amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus. The Selling Stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Class A 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.

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Class A 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 Class A common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Class A common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed 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 Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Class A common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Class A common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Class A common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $73,658 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a Selling Stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the Selling Stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Class A common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We have one class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

The general terms and provisions of our Class A common stock are summarized below. This summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by express reference to, the provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Charter”) and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”). Our Charter and our Bylaws have been filed as exhibits to our periodic reports filed with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should read our Charter and our Bylaws for additional information before you buy any of our Class A common stock. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of November 22, 2021, there were 81,307,550 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding.

Our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) has authority at any time and from time to time to issue preferred stock of one or more series and, in connection with the creation of each such series, to fix the voting rights (if any), designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series to the full extent permitted by our Charter and the laws of the State of Delaware.

Dividends

Subject to applicable law and any preferential rights of the holders of any then-outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock, holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as from time to time may be declared by our Board of Directors. The declaration of dividends on our Class A common stock is a business decision to be made by our Board of Directors in its discretion from time to time based upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition, as well as the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors as our Board of Directors may consider relevant.

Voting Rights

Subject to applicable law or the resolution or resolutions of our Board of Directors providing for the issue of any series of preferred stock, the holders of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock shall exclusively possess voting power for the election of directors and for all other matters to be voted on by stockholders. Each holder of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock standing in its name. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, any action at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be decided by a majority of the votes properly cast, except the election of directors will be decided by a plurality of votes cast. Our Charter does not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

Liquidation

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock having a preference over our common stock, the holders of our Class A common stock shall be entitled to share, ratably according to the number of shares of Class A common stock held by them, in all remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to our stockholders.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Holders of our Class A common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our Class A common stock.

Fully Paid and Nonassessable

All outstanding shares of our Class A common stock are fully paid and not liable to any further call or assessments by us.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our Charter, our Bylaws and the DGCL contain certain provisions that could delay or make more difficult an acquisition of control of us that is not approved by our Board of Directors, whether by means of a tender offer, open-market purchases, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions could have the effect of discouraging third parties from making proposals involving an acquisition or change of control of us, even though such a proposal, if made, might be considered desirable by a majority of our stockholders. These provisions also may have the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to cause the replacement of our current management without the concurrence of our Board of Directors. Set forth below is a description of various provisions contained in our Charter, our Bylaws and the DGCL that could impede or delay an acquisition of control of us that our Board of Directors has not approved. This description is intended as a summary only and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Charter and our Bylaws, as well as the DGCL.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 provides that a Delaware corporation with a class of voting stock listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders may not engage in various business combination transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

	a.	our Board of Directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder prior to the time that stockholder became an interested stockholder;

	b.	upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding, for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) by certain employee stock plans); or

at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by our Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, a “business combination” is broadly defined to include (i) any merger or consolidation of the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries with the interested stockholder; (ii) any sale, lease or other disposition (except proportionally as a stockholder of the corporation) to or with the interested stockholder of assets of the corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation, which assets have a market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market of all of the assets of the corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the corporation; (iii) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation or by any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of any stock of the corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder; (iv) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries which has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder; and (v) subject to certain exceptions, any receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a stockholder of such corporation), of any loans, advances or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) that (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date of determination, and the affiliates and associates of such person.

The DGCL permits a corporation to “opt out” of, or choose not to be governed by, the restrictions in Section 203 of the DGCL by expressly stating so in its original certificate of incorporation (or in a subsequent amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved by its stockholders). However, neither our Charter nor our Bylaws contains a provision electing to opt out of Section 203.

Advance Notice Requirements

Stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election to our Board of Directors at an annual meeting or to propose any business to be considered by our stockholders at an annual meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other procedures and requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Likewise, if our Board of Directors has (or if stockholders, in compliance with certain provisions of our Bylaws, have) determined that one or more directors shall be elected at a special meeting of stockholders, stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election to our Board of Directors at such special meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other procedures and requirements set forth in our Bylaws.

Special Meetings

Our Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of the holders of any then-outstanding shares of any series of preferred stock, a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors. Such meetings may not be called by any other person.

Number of Directors; Board Vacancies

Our Charter provides that the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by our Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of our Board of Directors; however, the number of directors is eight (8). Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Each director so appointed shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, removal or resignation.

Classified Board

Our Charter provides that our Board of Directors is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible, and with the directors serving three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of our Board is elected each year. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our Board.

Additional Authorized Shares of Capital Stock

The additional shares of authorized common stock and preferred stock available for issuance under our Charter could be issued at such times, under such circumstances and with such terms and conditions as to impede a change in control.

Amendments to Bylaws

Our Board of Directors may adopt, amend, alter or repeal our Bylaws, except with respect to the indemnifications provisions under Article VIII. Stockholders may adopt, amend, alter or repeal our Bylaws upon obtaining (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, and (ii) any other vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by applicable law, our Charter or our Bylaws; provided, however, that an amendment with respect to the indemnifications provisions under Article VIII shall require the affirmative vote of the stockholders holding at least 66.7% of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.

No Written Consent of Stockholders

Our Charter and our Bylaws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Our second amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

The right to indemnification conferred by our second amended and restated bylaws also includes the right to be paid the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a present or former director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative action, suit, or proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that if the Delaware law requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer shall be made only upon the Company’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under our second amended and restated bylaws, or otherwise.

In addition, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain of its officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the registrant, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any action, suit, or proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

The Company has in effect insurance policies for general officers’ and directors’ liability insurance covering all of its officers and directors.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

See the Exhibit Index on the page immediately preceding the signature page for a list of exhibits filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-3, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

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

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

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

II-1

(iii)

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

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i), (a)(l)(ii) and (a)(l)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)

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

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining 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 of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(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 the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

II-2

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

(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.

(6)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
