ABOUT REPROS THERAPEUTICS INC.

Overview

The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation on August 20, 1987. We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oral small molecule drugs for major unmet medical needs associated with male and female reproductive disorders. The clinical trials relating to Proellex® have been placed on clinical hold by the FDA due to safety-related concerns resulting from elevated liver enzymes in a number of patients enrolled in the clinical trials. Completion of our ongoing clinical trial activities relating to our other product candidate, Androxal®, is subject to, among other things, adequate cash being available.

As of September 30, 2009, we had accumulated losses of $173.1 million, approximately $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, and our accounts payable and accrued expenses were approximately $12.2 million. As a result of the October 29, 2009 settlement agreement with certain of our creditors to issue them shares of our common stock and cash as payment in full for our then-outstanding liabilities with such creditors (See “Recent Developments – Settlement with Trade Creditors” below), subsequent to September 30, 2009, we have reduced the amount of our accounts payable and accrued expenses by approximately $8.7 million. Notwithstanding, the amount of cash on hand is not sufficient to continue to fund our ongoing clinical trials of Androxal®, complete all necessary activities relating to the suspension of our clinical trial program for Proellex®, and pay our accounts payable and accrued expenses as well as our normal corporate overhead and expenses. The foregoing and other matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We continue to explore potential additional financing alternatives that may allow us to maintain our current reduced level of operations; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising any such additional funds on a timely basis or at all. Significant additional capital will be required for us to continue development of either of our product candidates. Failure to raise sufficient funds before the second quarter of 2010 will likely result in the filing of bankruptcy and dissolution of the Company.

Our current product candidates consist of the following:

Androxal® (male reproductive health)

We believe our product candidate for male reproductive health, Androxal®, is a new chemical entity. Androxal® is a single isomer of clomiphene citrate and is an orally active proprietary small molecule compound.

We are developing Androxal® for men of reproductive age with low testosterone levels who want to maintain their fertility while being treated for their low testosterone condition. During the second quarter of 2008, we initiated a Phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical trial in which we are monitoring the effects of Androxal® on male fertility and testicular function in patients being treated for low testosterone as compared to Testim®, a popular marketed topical testosterone medication. On October 6, 2009 we announced that Androxal was able to maintain sperm counts in men being treated for their low testosterone levels. Testim® resulted in suppressed sperm levels while men were being treated with that topical gel. We recently submitted a request for a Type C meeting with the FDA and expect to hold a meeting with the FDA in late January, 2010, provided that sufficient funds can be raised to continue development of this product. Given that there is currently an acceptable treatment regimen for men with low testosterone, there is significant uncertainty as to whether or not an additional approach such as Androxal® would be approved by the FDA or accepted in the market. At this time it is too early in the clinical development process to estimate when or even if an NDA for Androxal® will be submitted for this indication.

In April 2008, we submitted a White Paper, based on the results from a previously conducted non-pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial with Androxal® for the treatment of testosterone deficiency due to secondary hypogonadism, to the FDA's Division of Reproductive and Urology Products. The data demonstrated that in subjects with serum glucose levels of greater than 105 mg/dL, there was a statistically significant reduction in fasting serum glucose and a higher response rate in the treatment group with Androxal® as compared with groups receiving either placebo or Androgel®, the current standard of care for the treatment of testosterone deficiency. In November 2008, after the FDA reviewed this paper we received guidance suggesting that we open a new IND with the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products, or DMEP, for the investigation of Androxal® as a potential treatment for type 2 diabetes. Provided that sufficient cash is available, we plan to submit a new IND for this indication to the DMEP in the fourth quarter of 2009. Should we raise adequate funds to continue our operations, we anticipate conducting a Phase 2b proof-of-concept clinical trial with Androxal® for glucose regulation after receiving additional feedback from the FDA. At this time it is too early in the clinical development process to estimate when or even if a NDA for Androxal® will be submitted for this indication. The plan to develop Androxal® in this new indication replaces our previously announced plan to develop Androxal® in men with adult-onset idiopathic hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, or AIHH, with concomitant plasma glucose and lipid elevations, all of which are components of Metabolic Syndrome.

We were previously developing Androxal® in the United States to treat testosterone deficiency due to secondary hypogonadism by restoring normal testosterone production in males with functional testes and diminished pituitary function, a common condition in the aging male. After a Type "C" meeting held with the FDA on October 15, 2007, we believed that there was no clear clinical path to develop Androxal® for this indication in the U.S. Androxal® might be developed outside of the U.S. for this indication if our future financial resources are sufficient.

Proellex® (female reproductive health)

Proellex®, our product candidate for female reproductive health, is a new chemical entity that acts as a selective blocker of the progesterone receptor and is being developed for the treatment of symptoms associated with uterine fibroids and endometriosis. However, as a result of the recent liver toxicity exhibited by Proellex®, all ongoing clinical trial activities have been put on hold by the FDA. There is currently no FDA-approved orally administered drug treatment for the long-term treatment of uterine fibroids or endometriosis.

Our estimates regarding the timing of our Proellex® clinical development program are completely on hold at this time in light of the FDA clinical hold and our recent discontinuation of ongoing clinical trials. In addition, any future development efforts are totally dependent on our ability to raise sufficient capital or find an appropriate partner to proceed and on decisions by the FDA regarding the current clinical hold on Proellex® clinical trials. If the FDA were to lift the clinical hold on Proellex®, and if the FDA requires a lower dosage of Proellex® to be used for future clinical trials, the Company would be required to commence Phase 2 studies again with the required lower dosage, thereby resulting in extensive additional costs and delays. The length of time required to complete Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials and long-term Open Label Safety Trials may vary substantially according to factors relating to the particular trial, such as the type and intended use of the drug candidate, the clinical, trial design and the ability to enroll suitable patients. We have also, in the past, had difficulty recruiting patients into our Proellex® clinical trials primarily due to the various test procedures that are required, including multiple endometrial biopsies. Recruiting patients would likely be even more difficult due to the recent liver toxicity exhibited by Proellex®.

Business Strategy

Provided we are able to obtain sufficient funds to continue our business, we plan to focus our clinical program on Androxal® to determine if a clear clinical path can be realized with the FDA.

Should the FDA permit the resumption of the Proellex® clinical trials, we will assess whether there are sufficient funds available to continue development ourselves of such product candidate or whether such program would be more appropriately funded by a corporate partner. Therefore, we will continue to explore corporate partnering opportunities for assistance in the clinical development funding and commercialization of our products, as appropriate; however, there can be no assurance that a corporate partnering opportunity will be found.

Risks Affecting Us

Our business is subject to numerous risks as discussed more fully in “Risk Factors” below. We are exploring various financing alternatives to address our short term liquidity needs. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in obtaining financing on acceptable terms or at all. We anticipate that if we are able to secure financing, that such financing will result in significant dilution of the ownership interests of our current stockholders and may provide certain rights to the new investors senior to the rights of our current stockholders, including but not limited to voting rights and rights to proceeds in the event of a sale or liquidation of the Company. In the event that we are unable to obtain adequate financing to meet our short term liquidity needs, we will pursue other options, including but not limited to, reductions of expenses, sale of the Company, sale or license of a portion or all of our assets, a bankruptcy filing or the liquidation of the Company.

In addition, we have recently suspended dosing in the clinical trials of Proellex®, have not received regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, have not successfully earned any significant commercial revenues from any of our product candidates and may never launch either of our product candidates. If we cannot resume dosing in the clinical trials of Proellex® or do not successfully commercialize any of our product candidates, we will be unable to achieve our business objectives. In addition, the reported results of our clinical trials completed to date may not be indicative of results that will be achieved in later-stage clinical trials involving larger and more diverse patient populations. As of September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $173.1 million, accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $12.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.5 million. As a result of the October 29, 2009 settlement agreement with certain of our creditors to issue them shares of our common stock and cash as payment in full for our then-outstanding liabilities with such creditors (as described below) we have reduced the amount of our accounts payable and accrued expenses by approximately $8.7 million. Notwithstanding, there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and we expect to continue to incur significant losses over the next several years, and we may never become profitable. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Recent Developments

General

On September 11, 2009, we completed a direct registered offering of 1.5 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.65 per share for aggregate proceeds after expenses of approximately $869,000. On October 13, 2009, we completed a direct registered offering of 3.5 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.27 per share for aggregate proceeds after expenses of approximately $4.1 million. Such registered direct offerings resulted in an aggregate of approximately $5.0 million net proceeds to us. The shares of common stock offered by us in such offerings were registered under our prior shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-155265), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10, 2008 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 26, 2008.

On October 29, 2009, Katherine A. Anderson was engaged as the Chief Accounting Officer of the Company.

Effective October 29, 2009, Dr. Paul Lammers, resigned his position of President.

Effective October 30, 2009, the Company eliminated the position of Senior Vice President of Regulatory and Clinical Affairs held by Dr. Andre van As. The Company is obligated to pay Dr. van As, under his employment contract, salary and benefits for six months. Dr. Jean Fourcroy, member of the Company’s Board of Directors and former Medical Officer at the FDA’s Division of Reproductive and Urological Products, has agreed to serve as Company’s Chief Medical Officer on an as needed basis.

On November 6, 2009, the Company received notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market that it has not regained compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(A) or 5450(b)(3)(A) and, unless the Company appeals the NASDAQ Stock Market’s decision, its securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company has filed an appeal of such determination to delist its securities. On December 3, 2009, the Company participated in an oral hearing to determine whether its securities will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company has been informed that it will receive a written decision on its appeal within 30 days following the date of such oral hearing. If our appeal is unsuccessful, we have requested to have our securities moved to the NASDAQ Capital Market. There can be no assurance that either of these strategies will be successful.

On November 12, 2009, Dr. Jaye Thompson was appointed to our board of directors and to serve as a member of the audit committee of our board of directors.

On November 12, 2009, Mark Lappe resigned his position as a member of the Company’s board of directors and chairperson of the board of directors. Nola E. Masterson, a member of the Company’s board of directors since 2004, has been appointed as chairperson of the Company’s board of directors.

On November 16, 2009, our board of directors elected Joseph S. Podolski as President of the Company.

On November 17, 2009, our stockholders approved an amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 30 million to 75 million.

Settlement with Trade Creditors

On October 29, 2009, we entered into a Master Settlement Agreement and Releases (the “Settlement Agreement”) with certain trade creditors, pursuant to which we issued 5,361,194 shares of our common stock, at $1.10 per share, and paid approximately $2.77 million in cash to such creditors as payment in full for our then-outstanding liabilities of approximately $8.7 million and for the release of the claims held by and the dismissal of the litigation commenced by such creditors against the Company. On December 4, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the shares of common stock issued under the Settlement Agreement by such creditors. Under the Settlement Agreement, we agreed to refrain from selling any shares for any primary public offering or other offering of our equity securities during the ten business days immediately following the effective date of such registration statement, in order to provide such creditors an opportunity to sell their shares issued under the Settlement Agreement.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors in any prospectus supplement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, updates in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q filings, and in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as other information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, before purchasing any of our securities. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by us under this prospectus will be used for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 500,000 shares are designated the Series One Junior Participating Preferred Stock. As of December 8, 2009, 25,538,598 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and no shares of our preferred stock, were outstanding.

Common Stock

The issued and outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock that we may issue in the future will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of our common stock are entitled to share equally, share for share, if dividends are declared on our common stock, whether payable in cash, property or our securities. The shares of common stock are not convertible and the holders thereof have no preemptive or subscription rights to purchase any of our securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally, share for share, in our assets which are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting. Except as otherwise required by law or our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

Our common stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “RPRX.”

Preferred Stock

We may issue shares of preferred stock in series and may, at the time of issuance, determine the designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating optional or other rights, preferences and limitations of each series. Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of common stock. Holders of shares of preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of shares of common stock. Upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors then in office, our board of directors, without stockholder approval, may issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the holders of shares of common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any shares of common stock or preferred stock and may be attached to or separate from such shares of common stock or preferred stock. Each series of warrants may be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of any warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

§	the title of the warrants;

§	the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

§	the periods during which the warrants are exercisable;

§	the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock for which each warrant is exercisable;

§	the exercise price for the warrants, including any changes to or adjustments in the exercise price;

§	if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related common stock or preferred stock will be separately transferable;

§	any listing of the warrants on a securities exchange or automated quotation system;

§	if applicable, a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations with respect to any warrants; and

§	any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange and exercise of such warrants.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering securities which may be sold from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We may sell the securities through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. One or more prospectus supplements will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including:

§	the name or names of any agents or underwriters;

§	the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

§	any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

§	any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

§	any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

§	any securities exchange or market on which the common stock or other securities may be listed.

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered by the prospectus supplement if they are to purchase any of such offered shares. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

We may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of the securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase the securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to such liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Short covering transactions involve exercise by underwriters of an over-allotment option or purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a short covering transaction. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

Our common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market. One or more underwriters may make a market in our common stock or other securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to liquidity of the trading market for our common stock or other securities.

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the NASDAQ Global Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on the NASDAQ Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or Delaware law, inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such persons against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the stockholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145. We maintain policies insuring our officers and directors against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws require us to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law or any other applicable law in effect, but if such statute or law is amended, we may change the standard of indemnification only to the extent that such amended statute or law permits us to provide broader indemnification rights to our directors. We must indemnify such officers and employees in the same manner and to the same extent that we are required to indemnify our directors under our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the personal liability of a director to us or our stockholders to damages for breach of the director’s fiduciary duty. Pursuant to indemnification agreements we entered into with each of our directors, we are further required to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and our Restated Bylaws; provided that each such director shall enjoy the greater of (i) the advancement and indemnification rights permitted under our Restated Certificate and Restated Bylaws for directors and officers as of the date of such indemnification agreement or (ii) the benefits so afforded by amendments thereto.

The underwriting agreement that we might enter into (Exhibit 1.1) will provide for indemnification by any underwriters of Repros, our directors, our officers who sign the registration statement and our controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 17. Undertakings

The 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;

(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) 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 the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of 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 of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the 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 of a 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.

(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in 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.

II-4

(6) That: (i) for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (ii) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant 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 of 1933 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 a 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

II-5
