UNDERTAKINGS.
|
|
(a)
|
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
|
(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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 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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference 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 offerings.
|
|
(4)
|
to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of
Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 77j(a)(3)) need not be furnished, provided that the
Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at
least as current as the date of those financial statements.
|
|
(5)
|
that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
if the issuer is relying on Rule 430B:
|
|
(A)
|
each prospectus filed by the undersigned issuer 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 offerings 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
|
|
(ii)
|
if the issuer is relying on 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.
|
|
(6)
|
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 offerings required to be filed
pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(ii)
|
any free writing prospectus relating to the offerings 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 offerings containing material information about the
undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
|
|
(iv)
|
