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 this 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 a 20 percent 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 this registration
statement;
|
|

deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed

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 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.
