previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration statement. That, for the
purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be all 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.
2) To include any material information not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
the Registration Statement, provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and
(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form
S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective

the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange

the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In

(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
