These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plans,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “seek,” “intend” and “continue” or similar words. Forward-looking statements may also use different phrases.

 

These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

 

·                                 our ability to win new contracts and convert backlog into revenue;

 

·                                 our ability to successfully and timely complete construction projects;

 

·                                 the potential delay, suspension, termination, or reduction in scope of a construction project;

·                                 the outcomes of pending or future litigation, arbitration or other dispute resolution proceedings;

 

·                                 the availability of borrowed funds on terms acceptable to us;

·                                 the ability to obtain surety bonds to secure our performance under certain construction contracts;

 

·                                 possible labor disputes or work stoppages within the construction industry;

 

·                                 changes in federal and state appropriations for infrastructure projects;

Risk Factors

 

Our business is subject to significant risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described in our consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements and the risks and uncertainties described under the caption “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the future (see “Incorporation by Reference”). The risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones facing us. 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. If any of the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

Item 15.     Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Massachusetts Business Corporation Act

 

Chapter 156D, Section 8.52 of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) provides that a corporation must indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. Additionally, Chapter 156D, Section 8.51(a) of the MBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) (a) he conducted himself in good faith; (b) he reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or (2) he engaged in conduct for which he shall not be liable under a provision of the corporation’s articles of organization. Chapter 156D, Section 2.02(b)(4) of the MBCA permits a corporation to include in its articles of organization a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that such provision must not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (1) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) improper distributions to shareholders under Section 6.40 of the MBCA, or (4) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Chapter 156D, Section 8.51(b) of the MBCA provides that a director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Additionally, Chapter 156D, Section 8.51(c) of the MBCA provides that the termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct described above. Finally, Chapter 156D, Section 8.51(d) of the MBCA provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director if his conduct did not satisfy the above standards set forth in Sections 8.51(a) and (b) of the MBCA, unless otherwise ordered by a court.

 

With respect to officers, Chapter 156D, Section 8.56(a) of the MBCA provides that a corporation may indemnify an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is an officer of the corporation (1) to the same extent as a director; and (2) if he is an officer but not a director, to such further extent as may be provided by the corporation’s articles of organization or bylaws, a resolution of the corporation’s board of directors, or contract, except for liability arising out of acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Chapter 156D, Section 8.56(b) of the MBCA clarifies that an officer who is also a director but who is made a party to a proceeding on the basis of an act or omission solely as an officer is entitled to such further indemnification the corporation may provide to

 

II-1



Table of Contents

 

officers, as described above. Finally, Chapter 156D, Section 8.56(c) of the MBCA provides that officers of a corporation are entitled to the same mandatory indemnification as directors, described in Chapter 156D, Section 8.52.

 

Additionally, Chapter 156D, Section 8.57 of the MBCA provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an individual who is a director or officer of the corporation, or who, while a director or officer of the corporation, serves at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity, against liability asserted against or incurred by him in that capacity or arising from his status as a director or officer, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify or advance expenses to him against the same liability under the director and officer indemnification provisions of the MBCA.

 

Articles of Organization

 

Section 6.10 of the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, provides that no director shall be personally liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for: (1) liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders, (2) acts or omissions not in good faith, (3) acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law , (4) any transaction involving an unauthorized distribution or loan to insiders pursuant to Massachusetts law, or (5) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

By-Laws

 

Section 9.1 of the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws, as amended, (the “By-Laws”) provides that the corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers against all expenses incurred by them in connection with any proceeding in which they are involved by reason of their serving in such capacities except that: (1) no indemnification shall be provided for any director or officer with respect to any matter as to which he shall have been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to a criminal matter, that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful, and (2) no indemnification shall be provided for any director or officer with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which he is adjudicated to be liable to the corporation. Additionally, Section 9.1 of the By-Laws provides that indemnification may be provided to an officer or director in connection with a proceeding in which it is alleged that he received an improper personal benefit by reason of his position, regardless of whether the claim involves his services in such capacity, subject to the limitations described above, unless it shall have been determined that an improper personal benefit was received by the director or officer. Section 9.2 of the By-Laws provides that if a director or officer of the corporation has been wholly successful on the merits in defense of any proceeding in which he was involved by reason of his position or as a result of his serving in such capacity (including the termination of investigative or other proceedings without a finding of fault on the part of the director of officer), he shall be indemnified by the corporation against all expenses incurred by him in connection therewith. Section 9.5 of the By-Laws also provides that if a proceeding is compromised or settled in a manner which imposes a liability or obligation upon a director or officer, no indemnification shall be provided to him with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation unless the board of directors determines in its discretion that indemnification is appropriate under the circumstances, and no indemnification shall be provided to him with respect to any other type of proceeding if it is determined by the board of directors that said director or officer is ineligible to be indemnified under Section 9 of the By-Laws.

 

Additionally, Section 9.6 of the By-Laws provides that the corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability or cost incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability or cost.

 

Finally, Section 9.8 of the By-Laws provides that the provisions of Section 9 of the By-Laws shall not be construed to limit the power of the corporation to indemnify its officers or directors to the full extent permitted by law and enter specific agreements or arrangements for this purpose.

Pursuant to the Company’s Form of Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”), directors and officers who are signatories thereto are entitled to indemnification by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law in the event that such director or officer becomes a party to or other participant or threatened

participant in a Claim (defined below) arising in part out of an Indemnifiable Event (defined below). Such obligation on the part of the Company is subject to a determination that the indemnification is permitted under applicable law. The Indemnification Agreement defines “Claim” as any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by the Company or any other party, that the director or officer in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or other. The Indemnification Agreement defines “Indemnifiable Event” as any event or occurrence related to the fact that the director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by the director or officer in any such capacity.

 

Insurance

 

The Company’s directors and officers are covered under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company.

 

Item 16. Exhibits

 

Reference is made to the Exhibit Index filed as a part of this Registration Statement.

 

Item 17. Undertakings

 

Each 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, as amended (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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% 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;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement or contained in a form prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

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

 

II-3



Table of Contents

 

(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 the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(5)                         That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act 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.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into 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.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

 

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 set forth in response to Item 15, 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 of 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.
