Our
common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ACON.” The last reported sale price of our common stock
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 18, 2024 was $0.1760 per share. The aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock
held by non-affiliates is $3,268.45 based on 10,044,728 shares of outstanding common stock, of which 18,885 shares are held by non-affiliates,
and a per share price of $0.3256, which was the closing sale price of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market on July
23, 2024.
Our
IPO warrants are quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ACONW.” The last reported sale price of our IPO warrants
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 18, 2024 was $0.04 per warrant.
Pursuant to General Instruction
I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities pursuant to this prospectus with a value of more than one-third of the aggregate
market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates in any twelve-month period, so long as the aggregate market value of our common
stock held by non-affiliates is less than $75,000,000. In the event that subsequent to the date of this prospectus, the aggregate market
value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $75,000,000, then the one-third limitation on sales shall
not apply to additional sales made pursuant to this prospectus unless we again become subject to General Instruction I.B.6. We have not
offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the twelve calendar months prior to and including the
date of this prospectus.
We have received deficiency
letters from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq’s (i) minimum bid price
requirement of at least $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Requirement”) and (ii) requirement to have at least $2,500,000 in
stockholders’ equity (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
On April 8, 2024, we
received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Notice”). The Bid Price Notice did not
result in the immediate delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Bid Price Notice indicated that we would be
provided 180 calendar days (or until October 7, 2024) in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 calendar day period
the bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff
(the “Staff”) will provide us with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. In the event we do not
regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, and if it appears to the Staff
that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are not otherwise eligible, the Staff will provide us with written notification
that our securities are subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination
to a Nasdaq hearings panel (the “Panel”).
On August 22, 2024, we
received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. In our
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, we reported stockholders’ equity of $1,642,177, and, as a result,
did not satisfy Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Accordingly, the Staff had determined to delist our common stock from Nasdaq. Nasdaq’s
letter provided us until August 29, 2024 to request an appeal of this determination.
We have appealed these
matters to the Panel. The hearing request stays any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and
the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. We have an appeal hearing scheduled on
October 10, 2024 before the Panel to appeal the delisting notice from the Staff. While the appeal process is pending, the suspension
of trading of our common stock will be stayed. Our common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq until the hearing process concludes
and the Panel issues a written decision.
We intend to take all
reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. We are currently evaluating
our available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
Our receipt of these
letters from Nasdaq does not affect our business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If we decide to seek a listing
of any preferred stock, purchase contracts, warrants, subscriptions rights, depositary shares, debt securities or units offered by this
prospectus, the related prospectus supplement will disclose the exchange or market on which the securities will be listed, if any, or
where we have made an application for listing, if any.
Investing in our securities
is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page
5 and the risk factors in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as in any other
recently filed quarterly or current reports and, if any, in the relevant prospectus supplement. We urge you to carefully read this prospectus
and the accompanying prospectus supplement, together with the documents we incorporate by reference, describing the terms of these securities
before investing.
Neither the Securities
and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy
or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

the significant risks, uncertainties and assumptions that accompany forward-looking statements, the forward-looking events and circumstances
discussed in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus or prospectus supplement may not occur and actual results could differ materially
and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statement.
You should not place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this prospectus, or any accompanying prospectus
or any prospectus supplement. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking
statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.
Any forward-looking statement
you read in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus, or any prospectus supplement or any document incorporated by reference reflects
our current views with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our
operations, operating results, growth strategy and liquidity. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements
because such statements speak only as to the date when made. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking
statements for any reason, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements, even if new information becomes available in the future, except as otherwise required by applicable law. You are advised,
however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports on Forms 10-Q, 8-K and 10-K filed with the SEC.

Overview
We are a healthcare technology
company that leverages Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (“MRS”), and a proprietary biomarker to optimize clinical treatments.
Our technology addresses the $134.5B U.S. low back and neck pain market, which according to a 2020 JAMA (Journal of the American Medical
Association) article is now the most costly healthcare condition in the United States. We are currently utilizing Artificial Intelligence
(“AI”) to assist in quality control processes that flag spectroscopy data indicative of a poor MRS study. The use of AI in
this application is early in its development cycle and is expected to evolve with further research and development. We are also researching
the application of AI and machine learning platforms to analyze both the raw spectroscopy data and the post-processed signal to evaluate
whether AI platforms can more efficiently and more effectively associate MRS data with clinical outcomes. The use of AI in this application
is aspirational and we intend this type of AI research and development to be an ongoing process applied not only to the various treatment
paths associated with back pain, such as conservative therapies, regenerative and cell therapies and surgical intervention, but also to
potentially expand into other clinical explorations involving the diagnosis of brain, breast and prostate tumors.
We are addressing this market
by initially focusing on improving the outcomes of surgical interventions to treat low back pain and have limited sales to date. In this
initial application, our technology is intended to assist surgeons in determining the optimal surgical procedure for a patient undergoing
surgery for pain isolated to their lumbar spine (the “lumbar spine” is comprised of the five (5) lower vertebrae, L-1 to L-5).
We then intend to add additional applications of our technology targeting the management of large segments of low back pain patients from
the point of initial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (“MRI”) through to episode resolution. We believe this will expand the use
of our technology to low back pain patients undergoing conservative therapies such as physical therapy or biologic and cell therapies
aimed at regenerating the lumbar discs. We plan to expand the application of our technology beyond the lumbar spine to address neck pain
populations in addition to low back pain populations. To expand the application of our technology for use in neck pain populations, we
will need to overcome technical changes associated with securing adequate MRS data from the cervical disc, which is significantly smaller
than the lumbar disc, and there can be no assurance we will be able to overcome these challenges.
The core technology we employ
is MRS. The patient experience when undergoing an MRS exam is exactly like that of a standard MRI, with the exception of an additional
3-5 minutes for each disc undergoing a spectroscopy exam. Whereas a standard MRI produces a signal that is converted into anatomical images,
an MRS produces a signal that is converted into a waveform that identifies the chemical composition of tissues. Just like with standard
MRI’s, the data from spectroscopy is useless without technologies that can process the data. We have developed proprietary signal
processing software that transforms spectroscopy data into clear biomarkers. These biomarkers, which are exclusively licensed from the
Regents of University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”), are the key data inputs for our proprietary algorithms that,
when applied, determine if an intervertebral disc is consistent with pain. Our patent portfolio includes 22 U.S. Patents, 17 Foreign Patents,
6 pending U.S. patent applications, and 7 pending Foreign patent applications, including patents and patent applications exclusively licensed
from Regents of the University of California.
We believe one of the biggest
issues driving the cost of treating low back and neck pain patients to the top of the list for healthcare spending is that there is no
objective, cost effective and noninvasive diagnostics to reliably identify the source of a patient’s pain. We believe the poor surgical
outcomes for Discogenic Low Back Pain (“DLBP”) are largely due to difficulties in reliably and accurately diagnosing the specific
spinal discs that are causing pain. The current primary diagnostic standard is the MRI, which is useful for showing abnormal structures
and tissue dehydration, but, we believe, cannot reliably identify specific discs that are causing pain. To diagnose specific discs that
are causing pain, a needle-based Provocation Discogram test (“PD Test”) has been developed. PD Tests have been shown to be
highly accurate when performed properly. However, a PD Test is invasive, subjective and unpleasant for the patient as the patient needs
to be awake in order to tell the physician if the pain the physician is purposefully causing in the disc is the same as the pain the patient
feels when they are experiencing a back pain episode. In addition, recent evidence has shown that the action of inserting a needle into
a normal disc during a discogram procedure leads to an increased rate of degeneration in these previously normal discs. Based on the limitations
and concerns of the PD Test, we believe there is a significant need for an objective, accurate, personalized and noninvasive diagnostic
test that can reliably determine if an individual disc is a pain generator. By providing physicians information about whether a disc has
the chemical and structural makeup consistent with pain or not, we believe the treatment plan for each patient will lead to more efficient
and targeted care that, will in turn, result in lower costs and healthier patient outcomes.
We have taken the first steps
to demonstrate the potential use of our technology in helping to improve the outcome of surgical intervention for DLBP patients by publishing
a clinical study (Gornet et al) in the European Spine Journal in April 2019. The study illustrated that when all discs identified as consistent
with pain by our technology were included in a surgical treatment, 97% of the patients met the criteria for “clinical improvement”.
This compared to only 54% of patients meeting the criteria for clinical improvement if a disc that our technology identified as consistent
with pain, was not included in the surgical treatment.
The results of this clinical
study led the CPT committee to approve four Category III codes for our technology in January 2021. The NIH also included our technology
as one of the handful of technologies selected to participate in their $150 million Back Pain Consortium (BACPAC) Research Program, an
NIH translational, patient-centered effort to address the need for effective and personalized therapies for chronic low back pain.
In April 2023, we have advanced
the evidence of our technology with a peer-reviewed journal article detailing the Gornet 2-year outcomes, published in the European Spine
Journal. The 2-year outcomes were durable with 1-year outcomes previously published in 2019. At 2-years follow-up, 85% of patients improved
when disc(s) identified as consistent with pain by our technology were included in a surgical treatment, compared to only 63% of patients
when disc(s) identified as consistent with pain were not treated or disc(s) identified as consistent without pain were treated.
Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act
As a company with less than
$1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we have elected to take advantage of reduced reporting requirements
and are relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. As an emerging
growth company:
| · | We may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; |
| | |
| · | We are exempt from the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on whether we
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; |
| | |
| · | We are permitted to provide less extensive disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; and |
| | |
| · | We are not required to give our stockholders non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden
parachute arrangements. |
We may take advantage of
these provisions until December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering)
if we continue to be an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.235 billion in
annual revenue, have more than $700 million in market value of our shares held by non-affiliates or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible
debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have elected to provide
two years of audited financial statements. Additionally, we have elected to take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for complying with new or revised accounting
standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer
an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)
of the Securities Act.

securities described in this prospectus by us, the underwriters or the third parties described above may be effected from time to time
in one or more transactions, including privately negotiated transactions, either:
| · | at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| | |
| · | in an “at the market” offering within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act; |
| | |
| · | at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
| | |
| · | at negotiated prices. |
Only underwriters named in
the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
Underwriters and Agents; Direct Sales
If underwriters are used
in a sale, they will acquire the offered securities for their own account and may resell the offered 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. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters
without a syndicate.
Unless the prospectus supplement
states otherwise, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable
underwriting agreement. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by
the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any over-allotment option. Any public offering price and any discounts or
concessions allowed or re-allowed 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 securities directly
or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities, and we will
describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent
will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize agents or
underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase 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.
Dealers
We may sell the offered securities
to dealers as principals. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public either at varying prices to be determined by the dealer
or at a fixed offering price agreed to with us at the time of resale.
Institutional Purchasers
We may authorize agents,
dealers or underwriters to solicit certain institutional investors to purchase offered securities on a delayed delivery basis pursuant
to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified future date. The applicable prospectus supplement or other
offering materials, as the case may be, will provide the details of any such arrangement, including the offering price and commissions
payable on the solicitations.
We will enter into such delayed
contracts only with institutional purchasers that we approve. These institutions may include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies,
pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.
Indemnification; Other Relationships
We may provide agents, underwriters,
dealers and remarketing firms 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 these liabilities. Agents, underwriters,
dealers and remarketing firms, and their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course
of business. This includes commercial banking and investment banking transactions.
Market-Making; Stabilization and Other Transactions
There is currently no market
for any of the offered securities, other than our common stock, which is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the offered securities
are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest
rates, the market for similar securities and other factors. While it is possible that an underwriter could inform us that it intends to
make a market in the offered securities, such underwriter would not be obligated to do so, and any such market-making could be discontinued
at any time without notice. Therefore, no assurance can be given as to whether an active trading market will develop for the offered securities.
We have no current plans for listing of the debt securities, preferred stock, warrants or subscription rights on any securities exchange
or quotation system; any such listing with respect to any particular debt securities, preferred stock, warrants or subscription rights
will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, as the case may be.
Any underwriter may engage
in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short
position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified
maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of
the over-allotment option or 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 stabilizing
or covering transaction to cover short positions. 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.
Any underwriters or agents
that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on
the Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the
offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock. 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. Passive market making
may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time.
Fees and Commissions
If 5% or more of the net
proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating in the offering or
affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121.
Description
of Securities We May Offer
General
This prospectus describes
the general terms of our capital stock. The following description is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider
before investing in our capital stock. For a more detailed description of these securities, you should read the applicable provisions
of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation, as amended, referred to herein as our certificate of incorporation, and our amended
and restated bylaws, referred to herein as our bylaws. When we offer to sell a particular series of these securities, we will describe
the specific terms of the series in a supplement to this prospectus. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of securities,
you must refer to both the prospectus supplement relating to that series and the description of the securities described in this prospectus.
To the extent the information contained in the prospectus supplement differs from this summary description, you should rely on the information
in the prospectus supplement.
The total number of shares
of capital stock we are authorized to issue is 220,000,000 shares, of which (1) 200,000,000 shares are common stock, par value $0.00001
per share (or common stock) and (2) 20,000,000 shares are preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (or preferred stock), which
may, at the sole discretion of our board of directors be issued in one or more series.
We, directly or through agents,
dealers or underwriters designated from time to time, may offer, issue and sell, together or separately, up to $50,000,000 in the aggregate
of:
| · | common stock; |
| | |
| · | preferred stock; |
| | |
| · | warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, other securities or any combination
of those securities; |
| | |
| · | subscription rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, other securities or any
combination of those securities; |
| | |
| · | secured or unsecured debt securities consisting of notes, debentures or other evidences of indebtedness
which may be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities, each of which may be convertible
into equity securities; or |
| | |
| · | units comprised of, or other combinations of, the foregoing securities. |
We may issue the debt securities
as exchangeable for or convertible into shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to
this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing. The preferred stock may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into shares of
common stock, another series of preferred stock or other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination
of the foregoing. When a particular series of securities is offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be delivered with this prospectus,
which will set forth the terms of the offering and sale of the offered securities.
Common Stock
The holders of our common
stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock
do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board
of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred
stock. Our common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions.
In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all
debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. Each outstanding share of common stock
is duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Market, Symbol and Transfer Agent
Our common stock is listed
for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ACON”. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is
VStock Transfer, LLC.
Preferred stock
Our board will have the authority,
without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights,
voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting, or the designation
of, such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of our preferred stock could adversely
affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon
our liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control
of our company or other corporate action.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions
of our Charter and our Bylaws
Certain provisions of the
DGCL and of our charter and our bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing another party from acquiring control
of us and encouraging persons considering unsolicited tender offers or other unilateral takeover proposals to negotiate with our board
of directors rather than pursue non-negotiated takeover attempts. These provisions include the items described below.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to the provisions
of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business
combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes
an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination
between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:
| · | before the stockholder became interested, our Board approved either the business combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| | |
| · | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder,
the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced,
excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee
stock plans, in some instances, but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder; or |
| | |
| · | at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by our Board
and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting
stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Section 203 defines a business
combination to include:
| · | any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| | |
| · | any sale, transfer, lease, pledge, exchange, mortgage or other disposition involving the interested stockholder
of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
| | |
| · | subject to exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of
any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; or |
| | |
| · | the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or
other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines
an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and
any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.
Board Composition and Filling Vacancies
Our charter provides that
stockholders may remove directors only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding
common stock. Our charter and bylaws authorize only our board of directors to fill vacant directorships, including newly created seats.
In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors may only be set by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of
our entire board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then
gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change
the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.
No Written Consent of Stockholders
Our charter and bylaws provides
that all stockholder actions are required to be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders
may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder
actions and would prevent the amendment of our bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders.
Meetings of Stockholders
Our charter and bylaws provide
that only a majority of the members of our Board then in office, our Executive Chairman or our Chief Executive Officer may call special
meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special
meeting of stockholders.
Advance Notice Requirements
Our bylaws provide advance
notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election
as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s
notice. These provisions might preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making
nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders if the proper procedures are not followed. We expect that these provisions
might also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate
of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.
Amendment to our Charter and Bylaws
The DGCL, provides, generally,
that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate
of incorporation or bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater
percentage. Our bylaws may be amended or repealed by a majority vote of our board of directors or the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least two-thirds of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an annual election of directors. In addition,
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes that all our stockholders would be entitled to cast in an election
of directors is required to amend or repeal or to adopt certain provisions of our charter.
Undesignated preferred stock
Our charter provides for 20,000,000
authorized shares of preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable our board to discourage
an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise
of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of our stockholders,
our board could cause shares of convertible preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings
or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group.
In this regard, our charter grants our board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of
preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution
to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these
holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of us.
Choice of Forum
Our charter provides that
the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings: any derivative
action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors,
officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the
DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine.
Our charter also provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the
United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the
Securities Act. Despite the fact that the certificate of incorporation provides for this exclusive forum provision to be applicable to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Section 27 of the Exchange Act, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and Section 22 of the Securities
Act, creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, this provision of our certificate of incorporation would not apply
to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive
jurisdiction. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a Delaware court would enforce the exclusive federal forum provisions for Securities
Act claims and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and regulations thereunder.
Unless we consent in writing
to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for
the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.
Warrants
We may issue warrants to
purchase our securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of
one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently
or together with any other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing and may be
attached to, or separate from, such securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants
will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.
We will file as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that
we file with the SEC, forms of the warrant and warrant agreement, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may
offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement,
if any. These terms may include the following:
| · | the title of the warrants; |
| | |
| · | the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued; |
| | |
| · | the designation, amount and terms of the securities or other rights for which the warrants are exercisable; |
| | |
| · | the designation and terms of the other securities, if any, with which the warrants are to be issued and
the number of warrants issued with each other security; |
| | |
| · | the aggregate number of warrants; |
| | |
| · | any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants
or the exercise price of the warrants; |
| | |
| · | the price or prices at which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants
may be purchased; |
| | |
| · | if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the securities or other rights purchasable
upon exercise of the warrants will be separately transferable; |
| · | a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the exercise of the
warrants; |
| | |
| · | the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence, and the date on which the right will
expire; |
| | |
| · | the maximum or minimum number of warrants that may be exercised at any time; |
| | |
| · | information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and |
| | |
| · | any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange
and exercise of the warrants. |
Exercise of Warrants.
Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the amount of securities or other rights, at the exercise price stated or
determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration
date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business
on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at
the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon
as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all
of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.
Subscription Rights
We may issue rights to purchase
our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights
offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which
such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. In connection
with a rights offering to holders of our capital stock a prospectus supplement will be distributed to such holders on the record date
for receiving rights in the rights offering set by us.
We will file as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that
we file with the SEC, forms of the subscription rights, standby underwriting agreement or other agreements, if any. The prospectus supplement
relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:
| · | the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution; |
| | |
| · | the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise
of the rights; |
| | |
| · | the exercise price; |
| | |
| · | the conditions to completion of the rights offering; |
| | |
| · | the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will
expire; and |
| | |
| · | any applicable federal income tax considerations. |
Each right would entitle
the holder of the rights to purchase the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus
supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.
Holders may exercise rights
as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed
at the corporate trust office of the rights agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon
as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering
are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters
or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Debt Securities
As used in this prospectus,
the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time
to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt securities. We may also
issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities may be issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture), which
are contracts entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. The Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We may issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the
offering of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.
The debt securities may be
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a secured or unsecured senior or subordinated basis by one or more guarantors, if any. The obligations
of any guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance
under applicable law. In the event that any series of debt securities will be subordinated to other indebtedness that we have outstanding
or may incur, the terms of the subordination will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities.
We may issue debt securities
from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in
a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt
securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding
debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in
ranking.
Should an Indenture relate
to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding
indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders
of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the unsecured
indebtedness issued under an Indenture.
Each prospectus supplement
will describe the terms relating to the specific series of debt securities. These terms will include some or all of the following:
| · | the title of debt securities and whether the debt securities are senior or subordinated; |
| | |
| · | any limit on the aggregate principal amount of debt securities of such series; |
| | |
| · | the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities of any series will be issued; |
| | |
| · | the ability to issue additional debt securities of the same series; |
| | |
| · | the purchase price for the debt securities and the denominations of the debt securities; |
| · | the specific designation of the series of debt securities being offered; |
| | |
| · | the maturity date or dates of the debt securities and the date or dates upon which the debt securities
are payable and the rate or rates at which the debt securities of the series shall bear interest, if any, which may be fixed or variable,

| | |

other indices, and the manner of determining the amount of such payments; |
| | |
| · | the dates on which we will pay interest on the debt securities and the regular record date for determining
who is entitled to the interest payable on any interest payment date; |
| | |
| · | the place or places where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the debt securities will
be payable, where any securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange or conversion, as applicable, and notices and
demands may be delivered to or upon us pursuant to the applicable Indenture; |
| | |
| · | the rate or rates of amortization of the debt securities; |
| | |
| · | any terms for the attachment to the debt securities of warrants, options or other rights to purchase or

and the terms and provisions of such collateral security, pledge or other agreements; |
| | |

debt securities, in whole or in part, pursuant to optional redemption provisions, and the other terms and conditions of any such provisions; |

payments to a sinking fund or through an analogous provision or at the option of holders of the debt securities, and the period or periods
within which and the price or prices at which we will redeem, repay or purchase the debt securities, in whole or in part, pursuant to
such obligation, and the other terms and conditions of such obligation; |
| | |
| · | the terms and conditions, if any, regarding the option or mandatory conversion or exchange of debt securities; |
| | |
| · | the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which
any debt securities of the series may be redeemed, in whole or in part at our option and, if other than by a board resolution, the manner
in which any election by us to redeem the debt securities shall be evidenced; |
| | |
| · | any restriction or condition on the transferability of the debt securities of a particular series; |
| · | the portion, or methods of determining the portion, of the principal amount of the debt securities which
we must pay upon the acceleration of the maturity of the debt securities in connection with any event of default; |
| | |
| · | the currency or currencies in which the debt securities will be denominated and in which principal, any
premium and any interest will or may be payable or a description of any units based on or relating to a currency or currencies in which
the debt securities will be denominated; |
| | |
| · | provisions, if any, granting special rights to holders of the debt securities upon the occurrence of specified
events; |
| | |
| · | any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the events of default or our covenants with respect
to the applicable series of debt securities, and whether or not such events of default or covenants are consistent with those contained
in the applicable Indenture; |
| | |
| · | any limitation on our ability to incur debt, redeem stock, sell our assets or other restrictions; |
| | |
| · | the application, if any, of the terms of the applicable Indenture relating to defeasance and covenant
defeasance (which terms are described below) to the debt securities; |

| | |
| · | the terms, if any, upon which the holders may convert or exchange the debt securities into or for our
securities or property; |
| | |
| · | whether we are issuing the debt securities in whole or in part in global form; |

| · | any change in the right of the trustee or the requisite holders of debt securities to declare the principal
amount thereof due and payable because of an event of default; |
| | |
| · | the depositary for global or certificated debt securities, if any; |
| | |

| · | to whom any interest on any debt security shall be payable, if other than the person in whose name the
security is registered, on the record date for such interest, the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a temporary
global debt security will be paid; |
| | |
| · | if the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities is to be payable in one or more
currencies or currency units other than as stated, the currency, currencies or currency units in which it shall be paid and the periods
within and terms and conditions upon which such election is to be made and the amounts payable (or the manner in which such amount shall
be determined); |
| · | the portion of the principal amount of any debt securities which shall be payable upon declaration of
acceleration of the maturity of the debt securities pursuant to the applicable Indenture; |
| | |
| · | if the principal amount payable at the stated maturity of any debt security of the series will not be
determinable as of any one or more dates prior to the stated maturity, the amount which shall be deemed to be the principal amount of
such debt securities as of any such date for any purpose, including the principal amount thereof which shall be due and payable upon any
maturity other than the stated maturity or which shall be deemed to be outstanding as of any date prior to the stated maturity (or, in
any such case, the manner in which such amount deemed to be the principal amount shall be determined); and |
| | |
| · | any other specific terms of the debt securities, including any modifications to the events of default
under the debt securities and any other terms which may be required by or advisable under applicable laws or regulations. |
Unless otherwise specified
in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not anticipate the debt securities will be listed on any securities exchange. Holders of
the debt securities may present registered debt securities for exchange or transfer in the manner described in the applicable prospectus
supplement. Except as limited by the applicable Indenture, we will provide these services without charge, other than any tax or other
governmental charge payable in connection with the exchange or transfer.
Debt securities may bear
interest at a fixed rate or a variable rate as specified in the prospectus supplement. In addition, if specified in the prospectus supplement,
we may sell debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below the prevailing market rate,
or at a discount below their stated principal amount. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any special federal income
tax considerations applicable to these discounted debt securities.
We may issue debt securities
with the principal amount payable on any principal payment date, or the amount of interest payable on any interest payment date, to be
determined by referring to one or more currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such debt
securities may receive a principal amount on any principal payment date, or interest payments on any interest payment date, that are greater
or less than the amount of principal or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the value on such dates of applicable
currency, commodity, equity index or other factors. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine
the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which
the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.
Units
We may issue units consisting
of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of
units by unit certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit
agent, if any, may be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent, if any, in the
applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. Specific unit agreements, if any, will contain additional important
terms and provisions. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate
by reference from a current report that we file with the SEC, the form of unit and the form of each unit agreement, if any, relating to
units offered under this prospectus.
If we offer any units, certain
terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following,
as applicable:
| · | the title of the series of units; |
| | |
| · | identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units; |
| | |
| · | the price or prices at which the units will be issued; |
| | |
| · | the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately
transferable; |
| | |
| · | a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and |
| | |
| · | any other material terms of the units and their constituent securities. |

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the DGCL
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.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the DGCL permits a corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability
of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such
provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividends and unlawful stock purchase
or redemption) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article XI of the bylaws
of the Company contains provisions which are designed to provide mandatory indemnification of directors and officers of the Company to
the full extent permitted by law, as now in effect or later amended. The bylaws further provide that, if and to the extent required by
the DGCL, an advance payment of expenses to a director or officer of the Company that is entitled to indemnification will only be made
upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is
ultimately determined that such director is not entitled to indemnification.
Item 16. Exhibits.
The following exhibits are
filed with this Registration Statement.
The agreements included or
incorporated by reference as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to
the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable
agreement and (i) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to
one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (ii) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosures that
were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (iii) may apply contract standards of
“materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (iv) were made
only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement.
The undersigned registrant
acknowledges that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, it is responsible for considering whether additional
specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this registration
statement not misleading.

Item 17. 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 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 reports filed with or furnished to the 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 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) 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 the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(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 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 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 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.
(5) That, for the purpose
of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of the registrant 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.
(c) The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes that 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 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.
(d) 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 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.
(e) 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 in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to be
