OUR COMPANY
Company Overview
We are a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of non-invasive medical devices and solutions to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory sleep disorders. We commercialize a digital healthcare platform to facilitate the continuum of care for effective sleep apnea management with a focus on the core sleep, cardiology markets. We offer a Total Sleep Solution, or TSS, to help physicians provide comprehensive sleep apnea management in a variety of clinical environments to optimize patient care and reduce healthcare system costs. Our key product, WatchPATTM, is commercially available in major markets including the United States, Japan, and Europe.
Sleep apnea is a chronic disease affecting 54 to 60 million people in the United States and almost one of every four adults over the age of 40 in the United States. Sleep is regarded as a major underlying risk factor and disease progression accelerator for most cardiovascular diseases as well as many cognitive and neurodegenerative diseases. Approximately 80% of adults in the United States that are suspected to be suffering from sleep apnea have never been diagnosed. In recent years, awareness of the importance of sleep and the devastating effects that could result from sleep apnea have risen across medical professionals and patients.
Our comprehensive TSS marketing program provides a complete, end-to-end solution that combines products and access to services designed to allow any physician that does not specialize in sleep an easy-to-use and accessible suite of products and services to aid in the diagnosis, transportation and handling, interpretation of the sleep study data, diagnosis, and access to third-party sleep apnea treatment device compliance data for patients that they suspect suffer from sleep apnea. We offer TSS primarily through our Test as a Service program that functions as a cost-per-test model.
Our key growth drivers are the core sleep and cardiology segments, as well as international expansion. The shift to remote home-based diagnosis and care, across healthcare systems, and particularly in the sleep apnea tests’ market, accelerated by the Covid-19 outbreak during 2020, is an underlying trend that, combined with our offer of a full digital health sleep apnea solution we believe, will continue to propel our key growth drivers in the short term, as well as penetration into the Direct to Consumer, or DTC market, in the long term, harnessing consumers demand for accessible solutions that bypass traditional physician referral systems.
The foregoing information about us is a general summary and is not intended to be comprehensive. For additional information about our business, you should refer to the information under the heading “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.”

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Although we believe that these estimates and forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties some of which are beyond our control, and are made in light of information currently available to us.
In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “anticipate,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents that we file with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement may include, but are not limited to, statements about:
•
the development of our products;
•
the potential attributes and benefit of our products and their competitive position;
•
our ability to successfully commercialize, or enter into strategic relationships with third parties to commercialize, our products;
•
our estimates regarding expenses, future revenues, capital requirements and our need for additional financing;
•
our ability to acquire or in-license new product candidates;
•
potential strategic relationships; and
•
the duration of our patent portfolio.
These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are not a guarantee of future performance. Actual outcomes may differ materially from the information contained in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of important factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is on file with the SEC and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and in the documents and reports that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC after the date of this prospectus that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as any risks described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We operate in an evolving environment. New risks emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements made in this this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents that we file with, or furnish to, the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby. The selling shareholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering.
We have agreed to pay certain costs, expenses and fees relating to the registration of our ordinary shares covered by this prospectus. The selling shareholders have agreed to pay any underwriting discounts and commissions or similar charges incurred for the sale of such ADSs.
4
CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS
Our capitalization will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus or in a report of foreign private issuer on Form 6-K subsequently furnished to the SEC and specifically incorporated herein by reference.
5
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain of our shareholders, whom we refer to in this prospectus as the “selling shareholders,” from time to time of ADSs representing up to an aggregate of 39,300,000 ordinary shares, all of which were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The selling shareholders are parties to a Share Purchase Agreement with us, dated August 26, 2015, in which we agreed, among other matters, to register for resale the ordinary shares that we issued to the selling shareholders in private placement transactions on November 5, 2015.
We do not know whether, when or in what amounts the selling shareholders may sell or otherwise dispose of the ordinary shares covered hereby. The selling shareholders might not sell or dispose of any or all of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus or may sell or dispose of some or all of such ordinary shares other than pursuant to this prospectus. Because the selling shareholders may not sell or otherwise dispose of ordinary shares covered by this prospectus and because, to our knowledge, there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, we cannot estimate the number of ordinary shares that will be held by the selling shareholders after completion of the offering.
Information about the selling shareholders, where applicable, the amount of ordinary shares owned by each selling shareholder prior to the offering, the number of ADSs to be offered by each selling shareholder and the amount of ordinary shares to be owned by each selling shareholder after completion of the offering, will be set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, documents incorporated by reference or in a free writing prospectus we file with the SEC. The applicable prospectus supplement will also disclose whether any of the selling shareholders has held any position or office with, has been employed by or otherwise has had a material relationship with us during the three years prior to the date of the prospectus supplement.
The selling shareholders may not sell any ADSs pursuant to this prospectus until we have identified the number of ADSs being offered for resale by such selling shareholders in a subsequent prospectus supplement. However, the selling shareholders may sell or transfer all or a portion of their ordinary shares pursuant to any available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
6
DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Our authorized share capital consists of 750,000,000 ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of which 425,535,104 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2020.
For a description of our ordinary shares and ADSs, including the rights and obligations attached thereto, please refer to Exhibit 2.6 to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference herein.
7
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and others who later come to hold some or all of the ADSs representing ordinary shares covered by this prospectus, may from time to time offer some or all of the ADSs. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
The selling shareholders have agreed to pay any underwriting discounts and commissions or similar charges incurred for the sale of ADSs. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby.
The selling shareholders may sell ADSs representing ordinary shares covered by this prospectus from time to time, and may also decide not to sell all or any of the ADSs. The selling shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions regarding the timing, manner and size of each sale. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. Sales may be made by the selling shareholders in one or more types of transactions, which may include:
•
purchases by underwriters, dealers and agents who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders and/or the purchasers of the ADSs for whom they may act as agent;
•
one or more block transactions, including transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the ADSs as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;
•
ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which a broker solicits purchases;
•
purchases by a broker-dealer or market maker, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
•
the pledge of ADSs for any loan or obligation, including pledges to brokers or dealers who may from time to time effect distributions of ordinary shares;
•
short sales or transactions to cover short sales relating to the ADSs;
•
one or more exchanges or over-the-counter market transactions;
•
through distribution by a selling shareholder or its successor in interest to its members, general or limited partners or shareholders (or their respective members, general or limited partners or shareholders);
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
the writing of options, whether the options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
•
distributions to creditors and equity holders of the selling shareholders; and
•
any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under applicable law.
A selling shareholder may also resell all or a portion of its ordinary shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.
To the extent necessary, we may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, upon being notified by the selling shareholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, offering or a purchase by a broker or dealer. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the specific terms of the offering of securities, including:
•
the name of the shareholder and the participating broker-dealer;
•
the number of ADSs offered;
8
•
the price of such ADSs;
•
the proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of such ADSs;
•
the names of the underwriters or agents, if any;
•
any underwriting discounts, agency fees or other compensation to underwriters or agents; and
•
any discounts or concessions allowed or paid to dealers.
In connection with sales of ADSs representing ordinary shares covered hereby, the selling shareholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent and any other participating broker-dealer that executes sales for the selling shareholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Accordingly, any profits realized by the selling shareholders and any compensation earned by such underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. Because the selling shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” under the Securities Act, the selling shareholders must deliver this prospectus and any prospectus supplement in the manner required by the Securities Act. This prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied through the facilities of Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 153 under the Securities Act.
In addition, we or the selling shareholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates are permitted to be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us and our affiliates or the selling shareholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
The selling shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the ADSs by the selling shareholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the ADSs to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ordinary shares. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such ordinary shares.
In order to comply with applicable securities laws of some states, the ADSs may be sold in those jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the ADSs may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirements is available. In addition, any ordinary shares of a selling shareholder covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold in open market transactions under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated in Israel. Service of process upon us our directors and officers and the Israeli experts, if any, named in this prospectus, substantially all of whom reside outside the United States, may be difficult to obtain within the United States. Furthermore, because the majority of our assets and investments, and substantially all of our directors, officers and such Israeli experts are located outside the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States against us or any of them may be difficult to collect within the United States.
We have irrevocably appointed Itamar Medical, Inc. as our agent to receive service of process in any action against us in any U.S. federal or state court arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. The address of our agent is 3290 Cumberland Club Drive, Atlanta GA 30339.
We have been informed by our legal counsel in Israel that it may also be difficult to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in Israel. Israeli courts may refuse to hear a claim based on an alleged violation of U.S. securities laws if they determine that Israel is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. In addition, even if an Israeli court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that Israeli law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. There is little binding case law in Israel addressing these matters. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by Israeli law.
Subject to specified time limitations and legal procedures, under the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Israel, Israeli courts may enforce a U.S. judgment in a civil matter, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws, as well as a monetary or compensatory judgment in a non-civil matter, provided that the following key conditions are met:
•
subject to limited exceptions, the judgment is final and non-appealable;
•
the judgment was given by a court competent under the laws of the state of the court and is otherwise enforceable in such state;
•
the judgment was rendered by a court competent under the rules of private international law applicable in Israel;
•
the laws of the state in which the judgment was given provide for the enforcement of judgments of Israeli courts;
•
adequate service of process has been effected and the defendant has had a reasonable opportunity to present his arguments and evidence;
•
the judgment and its enforcement are not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of the State of Israel;
•
the judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in the same matter between the same parties; and
•
an action between the same parties in the same matter was not pending in any Israeli court at the time the lawsuit was instituted in the U.S. court.
If a foreign judgment is enforced by an Israeli court, it generally will be payable in Israeli currency, which can then be converted into non-Israeli currency and transferred out of Israel. Under existing Israeli law, a foreign judgment payable in foreign currency may be paid in Israeli currency at the rate of exchange in force on the date of the payment. Current Israeli exchange control regulations also permit a judgment debtor to make payment in foreign currency. Pending collection, the amount of the judgment of an Israeli court stated in Israeli currency ordinarily will be linked to the Israeli consumer price index plus interest at the annual statutory rate set by Israeli regulations prevailing at the time. Judgment creditors must bear the risk of unfavorable exchange rates.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under the Israeli Companies Law, 1999, or the Companies Law, an Israeli company may not exempt an office holder from his or her liability for a breach of the duty of loyalty to the company, but may exempt an office holder, in advance, from his or her liability, in whole or in part, for a breach of his or her duty of care to the company (except with regard to distributions), if the articles of association so provide. Our articles of association permit us to exempt our office holders, retroactively or in advance, from his or her liability, in whole or in part, for a breach of his or her duty of care to the Company, up to the highest amount permitted by law.
As permitted by the Companies Law, our articles of association provide that, subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, we may enter into a contract for the insurance of the liability of any of our office holders concerning an act performed by him or her in his or her capacity as an office holder for:
•
a breach of his or her duty of care to us or to another person;
•
a breach of his or her duty of loyalty to us, provided that the office holder acted in good faith and had reasonable cause to assume that his or her act would not prejudice our interests;
•
a financial liability imposed upon him or her in favor of another person;
•
a financial liability that may be instituted against him or her in favor of a payment for a breach offended at an administrative proceeding, or an Administrative Proceeding, pursuant to Section 52(54)(a)(1)(a) of the Israeli Securities Law, if applicable, and payments made to injured persons under specific circumstances thereunder;
•
expenses he or she incurs as a result of Administrative Proceedings that may be instituted against him or her, including reasonable litigation expenses; and
•
any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under applicable law to insure the liability of an office holder in the Company.
As permitted by the Companies Law, our articles of association provide that we may indemnify any of our office holders for an act performed in his or her capacity as an office holder, retroactively (after the liability has been incurred) or in advance against the following:
•
a financial liability incurred by, or imposed on, him or her in favor of another person by any judgment, including a settlement or an arbitration award approved by a court; provided that our undertaking to indemnify with respect to such events on a prospective basis is, according to the Companies Law, limited to events that our Board of Directors believes are foreseeable in light of our actual operations at the time of providing the undertaking and to a sum or standard that our Board of Directors determines to be reasonable under the circumstances, and further provided that such events and amount or criteria are set forth in the undertaking to indemnify;
•
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him by a competent authority, provided that such investigation or proceeding concluded without the filing of an indictment against him or concluded with the imposition of a financial liability in lieu of criminal proceedings with respect to a criminal offense that does not require proof of criminal intent, all according to the law, or in connection with a financial sanction;
•
reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or charged to him or her by a court, resulting from the following: proceedings we institute against him or her or instituted on our behalf or by another person; a criminal indictment from which he or she was acquitted; or a criminal indictment in which he or she was convicted for a criminal offense that does not require proof of intent;.
II-1
•
a financial liability that may be instituted against him or her in favor of a payment for a breach offended at an Administrative Proceeding, if applicable, and payments made to injured persons under specific circumstances thereunder;
•
expenses paid in connection with an Administrative Proceeding which was instituted against him or her, including reasonable litigation expenses, such as attorneys’ fees; and
•
any other matter in respect of which it is permitted or will be permitted under applicable law to indemnify an office holder in the Company.
The Companies Law provides that a company may not indemnify an office holder nor exculpate an office holder nor enter into an insurance contract which would provide coverage for any monetary liability incurred as a result of any of the following:
•
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of loyalty, unless with respect to indemnification and insurance for a breach of the duty of loyalty in which the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
•
a breach by the office holder of his or her duty of care if the breach was committed intentionally or recklessly, unless it was committed only negligently;
•
any act or omission committed with the intent to derive an illegal personal benefit; or
•
any fine levied against the office holder.
In addition, under the Companies Law, exculpation of, an undertaking to indemnify or indemnification of, and procurement of insurance coverage for, our office holders must be approved by our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors and, in specified circumstances, such as if the office holder is a director or a controlling shareholder, is generally required to be approved by our shareholders.

Item 10. Undertakings.
(a) 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section 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 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 a 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 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 offering.
(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and
II-3
(ii) 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 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 this registration statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(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 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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 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.
(c) 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 such 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-4
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, 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.
(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, 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.
(f) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act, or the Act, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
