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 this
offering.
|
(4) |
That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
to any
purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part
of a
registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration
statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed
in
reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included
in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration
statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made
in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference
into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale
prior to
such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such
date of
first use.
|
(b) |
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be
permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the
Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has
been advised that in the opinion of the 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
our 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.
|
(c) |
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.
