This prospectus is part of a resale registration statement that we filed with the Securities

its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest) may offer and sell,
from time to time, an aggregate of up to 4,885,310 shares of our common stock under the prospectus.
In some cases, the selling stockholder will also be required to provide a prospectus supplement
containing specific information about the selling stockholder and the terms on which it is offering
and selling our common stock. We may also add, update or change in a prospectus supplement any
information contained in this prospectus. You should read this prospectus and any accompanying
prospectus supplement, as well as any post-effective amendments to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part, together with the additional information described under Where
You Can Find More Information before you make any investment decision.
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. Neither we nor the
selling stockholder have authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that
contained in this prospectus or additional information. This prospectus is offering to sell, and
seeking offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are
permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this
prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of our common stock.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have subsequently

incorporated by reference.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment
decision, you should carefully consider the specific risks described under the heading Risk
Factors in any applicable prospectus supplement and under the caption Risk Factors in any of our
filings with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are incorporated herein by reference. Each of
the risks described in these headings could adversely affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects, and could result in a complete loss of your investment. For
more information, see Where You Can Find More Information.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, including the information we
incorporate by reference, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.
Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or
performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based
on managements beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management.
You can identify most forward-looking statements by the use of words such as anticipates,
believes, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, plans, potential, predicts,
projects, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not
all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Among the factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are
risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including but not limited to, general economic,
business and financing conditions, labor relations, governmental action, competitor pricing
activity, expense volatility and other risks described under the heading Risk Factors in our most
recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and in other documents incorporated herein
by reference, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC.
Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Also, forward-looking statements represent our managements beliefs and assumptions
only as of the date of the relevant document. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or
expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ
materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements
we make. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling
stockholder.
DILUTION
This offering is for sales of common stock by the selling stockholder on a continuous or
delayed basis in the future. Sales of common stock by the selling stockholder will not result in a
change to the net tangible book value per share before and after the distribution of shares by the
selling stockholder. However, purchasers of common stock from the selling stockholder will
experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the amount per share paid and the net
tangible book value per share of our common stock at the time of the purchase. Net tangible book
value per share represents total net tangible assets divided by the number of outstanding shares of
our common stock.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of the rights of our capital stock is not complete and is subject to and
qualified in its entirety by reference to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and
Restated Bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to our registration statement on Form S-3,
of which this prospectus forms a part. See Where You Can Find More Information.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value
per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, $0.01 par value per
share.
Common Stock
As of March 19, 2010, we had:
|
|
|
|
16,162,306 shares of common stock outstanding, not including the 3,952,165 shares
issuable upon conversion of the |
|
3
|
|
|
warrants described in this prospectus; and |
|
|
|
|
an aggregate of 176,271 shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to
future grants under our 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan. |
|
Voting Rights
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon
by the stockholders. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with
respect to the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the shares
voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election.
Dividends
Subject to limitations under Delaware law and preferences that may apply to any outstanding
shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such
dividends or other distributions, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds
legally available therefor.
Liquidation
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are
entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to the
liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock.
Rights and Preferences
Our common stock has no preemptive, conversion or other rights to subscribe for additional
securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.
The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be
adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we
may designate and issue in the future.
Fully Paid and Non-Assessable
All outstanding shares of our common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
As of March 19, 2010, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to the limits imposed by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or the DGCL, to fix or alter the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion
rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions, if any),
the redemption price or prices, the liquidation preferences, any other designations, preferences
and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and any qualifications, limitations
or restrictions thereof, of any wholly unissued series of preferred stock, and the number of shares
constituting any such unissued series and the designation thereof, or any of them; and to increase
or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series,
but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding. In case the number of shares
of any series shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status
which they had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of
such series.
Registration Rights Agreement
On June 16, 2006, in connection with the issuance of 16% senior subordinated secured
payment-in-kind notes due 2011 of Libbey Glass Inc., we issued a warrant to purchase 485,309 shares
of our common stock, or the 2006 Warrant, to the selling stockholder. In connection therewith, we
entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholder pursuant to which we
agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrant.
On October 28, 2009, pursuant to a debt exchange agreement, we issued to the selling
stockholder (a) 933,145 shares of our common stock and (b) a Series I Warrant to purchase 3,466,856
shares of our common stock. Pursuant to its terms, the Series I Warrant may not be exercised to
the extent such exercise would result in the selling stockholder, together with its affiliates,
becoming
4
a beneficial owner of more than 9.5% of our outstanding common stock after giving effect to
such exercise (a) unless the selling stockholder delivers a notice to us instructing otherwise or
(b) unless and only for so long as our common stock is not registered or required to be registered
under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. Under certain circumstances, we will issue the selling
stockholder additional warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock, subject to
certain contractual limitations.
In connection with the debt exchange, we amended and restated the registration rights
agreement with the selling stockholder. Pursuant to the amended and restated registration rights
agreement, within 30 days after October 28, 2009, we were required to file the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part with the SEC to register the shares of our common
stock underlying the 2006 Warrant and the Series I Warrant and the 933,145 shares of common stock
issued to the selling stockholder on October 28, 2009 so that those shares may be publicly resold
by the selling stockholder. We will maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part until the earlier of (a) the date as of which all the shares of
common stock included in this registration statement have been sold, (b) the date when such shares
may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to any volume or manner of
sale requirements set forth thereunder or (c) a replacement registration statement is issued
covering the remaining shares. Pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated registration
rights agreement, we are required to file an additional registration statement for the resale of our
common stock held by the selling stockholder under certain circumstances.
Expenses of Registration
Other than underwriting fees, discounts and commissions, we will pay all expenses relating to
this registration. We will also pay, or reimburse, the selling stockholder for up to $200,000 in
legal fees and disbursements that the selling stockholder reasonably incurs in connection with this
registration statement and the sale of the common stock pursuant thereto. Under certain
circumstances, we may be required to reimburse the selling stockholder or pay up to an additional
$100,000 in fees and disbursements that the selling stockholder incurs in connection with the
filing of additional registration statements.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A.
NYSE Amex
Our common stock is listed for trading on the NYSE Amex under the
symbol LBY.
Delaware Takeover Statute
We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. This statute regulating corporate takeovers
prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested
stockholder for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested
stockholder, unless:
|
|
|
prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved
either the business combination or the transaction that 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
number of shares outstanding (a) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers
and (b) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the
right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered
in a tender or exchange offer; or |
|
|
|
|
on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by
the board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written
consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that 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, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of
10% or more of the assets of the corporation; |
5
|
|
|
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.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaw Provisions
Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws may
have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third
party from attempting to acquire, control of our company by means of a tender offer, a proxy
contest or otherwise. These provisions may also make the removal of incumbent officers and
directors more difficult. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive
takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control
of us to first negotiate with us. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might
be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. These provisions may make it more
difficult for stockholders to take specific corporate actions and could have the effect of delaying
or preventing a change in control of Libbey. The amendment of any of these anti-takeover
provisions would require approval by holders of at least 80% of our outstanding common stock
entitled to vote on such amendment.
In particular, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
provide for the following:
Removal of Directors, Vacancies
Directors may be removed without cause; however, directors may be removed only by (a) a
majority vote of the directors then in office or (b) the affirmative vote of the stockholders
holding at least 80% of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in the
election of directors. Vacancies on our board of directors may be filled only by our board of
directors.
No Cumulative Voting
Delaware law provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulative votes in
the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our
certificate of incorporation does not expressly provide for cumulative voting.
No Written Consent of Stockholders
Any action to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special
meeting and may not be effected by written consent.
Special Meetings of Stockholders
Special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the board of directors, or a
majority of the members of the board of directors, or by a committee of the board of directors that
has been duly designated by the board of directors and whose power and authority, as provided in a
resolution of the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation, include the power to call
such meetings.
Amendment
The approval of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock
entitled to vote is required to amend the provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws by
stockholder action. However, to amend the provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation
that are described above in this section, the approval of not less than 80% of the outstanding
shares of our capital stock entitled to vote is required. These provisions make it more difficult
to circumvent the anti-takeover provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our
Amended and Restated Bylaws.
Issuance of Designated Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized to issue, without further action by the stockholders, up
to 5,000,000 shares of designated
6
preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to
time by the board of directors. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock
enables our board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain
control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Executive Officers and Directors
Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors
to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary
duties. Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of a director to our company or our
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Subject to
certain limitations, our bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and executive officers
to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of
their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of
derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely
affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our
directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The following table provides the name of the selling stockholder and the number of shares of
our common stock offered by it under this prospectus. The information regarding shares
beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares offered by the selling
stockholder.
The selling stockholder does not have any position, office or other material relationship with
us or any of our affiliates, nor has it had any position, office or material relationship with us
or any of our affiliates within the past three years, except for those listed in the footnotes to
the following table or otherwise disclosed below or in this prospectus. Affiliates of the selling
stockholder have in the past provided and may from time to time provide certain commercial banking,
financial advisory, investment banking and other services for us for which they were and will be
entitled to receive fees. An affiliate of the selling stockholder currently is a lender
under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of February 8, 2010, among Libbey Glass Inc. and
Libbey Europe B.V., as borrowers, Libbey Inc., as a loan guarantor, the other loan parties thereto,
the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent with respect to the
U.S. loans, and the other agents party thereto.
The shares covered hereby may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholder (or by
its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest). We do not know how
long the selling stockholder will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no
agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholder regarding the sale or other
disposition of any of the shares.
The selling stockholder is the affiliate of a registered broker dealer. The selling stockholder acquired the shares
offered hereby, and the warrants that may be exercised for shares covered by this prospectus from time to time, in the ordinary course of business.
At the time such securities were acquired, the selling stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by the selling
stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as
indicated by footnote below, to our knowledge, the person named in the table below has sole voting
and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by such
person.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholder (including its pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other
successors-in-interest ) may sell the shares from time to time on any stock exchange or automated
interdealer quotation system on which the shares are listed, in the over-the-counter market, in
privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices
otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholder may sell the shares by one or more of the following
methods, without limitation:
(a) block trades in which the broker or dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
(b) purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its
own account;
(c) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the
shares are listed;
(d) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
(e) by pledge to secure debts or other obligations;
(f) underwritten offerings;
(g) directly to institutional investors;
(h) through agents to the public or to institutional investors;
(i) to cover hedging transactions;
(j) privately negotiated transactions;
(k) short sales;
(l) through the issuance of derivative securities, including warrants, exchangeable
securities, forward delivery contracts and the writing of options on the shares, whether or not the
options are listed on an options exchange;
(m) through the distribution of the shares by any selling stockholder to its partners, members
or stockholders;
(n) any combination of any of these methods of sale; and
(o) by any other legally available means.
The selling stockholder may also transfer the shares by gift. We do not know of any
arrangements by the selling stockholder for the sale of any of the shares.
The selling stockholder may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange
for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the shares. These brokers or
dealers may act as principals, or as an agent of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree
with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per
share. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell shares acting as agent for the selling stockholder,
it may purchase as principal any unsold shares at the stipulated price. Broker-dealers who acquire
shares as principals may thereafter resell the shares from time to time in transactions on any
stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the shares are then listed, at
prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current
market price or in negotiated transactions. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to
and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. The selling
stockholder may also sell the shares in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, rather
than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the shares are covered by this prospectus.
The selling stockholder has advised us that none of its affiliates that are brokers or dealers
registered with the SEC will act as a broker or dealer in effecting sales of the shares covered by
this prospectus,
9
unless permitted to do so pursuant to advice received from the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc., or FINRA.
To the extent required under the Securities Act, the aggregate amount of the selling
stockholders shares being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers,
dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be
set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents
participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from a selling stockholder and/or
purchasers of selling stockholders shares for whom they may act (which compensation as to a
particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary brokerage commissions). Any public
offering price and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting compensation
allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time.
The selling stockholder and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in
the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions.
In any event, the aggregate amount of compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions, commissions or fees that may be deemed to be underwriting compensation pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 will not exceed 8%
of the gross proceeds of this offering to the selling stockholder.
The selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they
assume with the selling stockholder, including, without limitation, in connection with
distributions of the shares by those broker-dealers. The selling stockholder may enter into option
or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the shares offered hereby to
the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those shares. The selling
stockholder may also loan or pledge the shares offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the
broker-dealer may sell the shares offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise
transfer the pledged shares offered hereby.
We have agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling stockholder and any
underwriters of the shares covered by the registration statement, against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us
in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.
The shares offered hereby were originally issued to the selling stockholder pursuant to an
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We agreed to register the
shares under the Securities Act and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is
a part effective for a period of time. We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this
offering, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the selling stockholder, but not including
underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees of the selling stockholder.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any shares by the selling stockholder.
We cannot assure you that the selling stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares
offered hereby.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the shares offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by Latham &
Watkins LLP, Chicago, Illinois.

ITEM 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors
to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors fiduciary
duties. Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest
extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of a director to our company or our
stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Subject to
certain limitations, our bylaws provides that we must indemnify our directors and executive
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation
and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of
their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of
derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely
affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have
been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our
directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

ITEM 17. Undertakings.
We hereby undertake:
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;
(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 the
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 SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration
Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by us pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act 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, 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 to any purchaser:
(i) each prospectus filed by us 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 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
II-2
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 a
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 our liability under the Securities Act to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering
of our securities 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, we 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 ours 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 us
or used or referred to by us;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about us or our securities provided by or on behalf of us; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the
purchaser.
We hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of our annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act) 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 us of expenses
incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
