Preliminary Note
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone
to provide you with information that is different. The selling stockholders are offering to sell

The Company
We are a specialty pharmaceutical healthcare organization that partners with patients, physicians,
healthcare payors and pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide access to medications and management
solutions to optimize outcomes for chronic and other complex healthcare conditions.
Our specialty pharmaceutical services (Specialty Services) include the comprehensive support,
dispensing and distribution, patient care management, data reporting as well as a range of other
complex management services for certain medications. These medications include orals, injectables
and infusibles used to treat patients living with chronic health conditions and are provided in
various capacities to patients, physicians, healthcare payors and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Our
pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services include pharmacy network management, claims
processing, benefit design, drug utilization review, formulary management and traditional mail
order pharmacy fulfillment. These services are reported under two operating segments: (i) Specialty
Services; and (ii) PBM and Mail Services (collectively, PBM Services).
Specialty Services and PBM Services revenues are derived from our relationships with healthcare
payors including managed care organizations, government-funded and/or operated programs,
pharmaceutical manufacturers, patients and physicians as well as a variety of third party payors,
including third party administrators (TPAs) and self-funded employer groups (collectively Plan
Sponsors).
Our Specialty Services are marketed and/or sold primarily to healthcare payors, pharmaceutical
manufacturers, physicians, and patients, and target certain specialty medications that are used to
treat patients living with chronic health conditions. These services include the distribution of
biotech and other high cost injectable, oral and infusible prescription medications and the
provision of therapy management services.
Our PBM Services are marketed to healthcare payors including employer groups and TPAs and are
designed to promote a broad range of cost-effective, clinically appropriate pharmacy benefit
management services through our national PBM retail network and our own mail service distribution
facility. We also administer prescription discount card programs on behalf of commercial Plan
Sponsors, most typically TPAs. Under such programs we derive revenue on a per claim basis from the
dispensing network pharmacy.
Over the past several years our strategic growth has been focused on building our Specialty
Services. Consequently, Specialty Services revenues have grown to more than 80% of our total
revenue.
Our principal executive offices are located at 100 Clearbrook Road, Elmsford, NY 10523, and our
telephone number is (914) 460-1600. Our website is www.bioscrip.com. The information on our website

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the
risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this prospectus, including our
financial statements and related notes, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of
the following risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition and
operating results would likely suffer. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us
or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations. In that event(s), the market price of the offered
securities could decline and you could lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common
stock.
Competition in the pharmaceutical healthcare services industry could reduce profit margins.
The pharmaceutical healthcare services industry is very competitive. Our competitors include large
and well-established companies that may have greater financial, marketing and technological
resources than we do.
The specialty pharmacy industry is highly competitive. Some of our competitors are under common
control with, or ownership by, pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, pharmacy benefit
managers or retail pharmacy chains and may be better positioned with respect to the cost-effective
distribution of pharmaceuticals. In addition, some of our competitors may have secured long-term
supply or distribution arrangements for prescription pharmaceuticals necessary to treat certain
chronic disease states on price terms substantially more favorable than the terms currently
available to us. As a result of such advantageous pricing, we may be less price competitive than
some of these competitors with respect to certain pharmaceutical products. Our competitive position
could also be adversely affected by any inability to obtain access to new biotech pharmaceutical
products.
Over the last several years competition in the marketplace has caused many PBMs, including us, to
reduce the prices charged to clients for core services and share a larger portion of the formulary
fees and rebates received from pharmaceutical manufacturers with clients. This combination of lower
pricing and increased rebate sharing, as well as increased demand for enhanced service offerings
and higher service levels, have put pressure on operating margins. In addition, some of our larger
competitors may offer services and pricing terms that we may not be able to offer. This competition
may make it more difficult to maintain existing customers and attract new customers and may cause
us to face the risk of declining reimbursement levels without achieving corresponding reductions in
costs of revenues. Competition may also come from other sources in the future. As a result, we may
not continue to remain competitive in the PBM marketplace, and competition could have an adverse
effect on our business and financial results.
Changes in industry pricing benchmarks could adversely affect our financial performance.
Contracts in the prescription drug industry, including our contracts with our retail pharmacy
networks and our PBM and specialty pharmacy clients, generally use certain published benchmarks to
establish pricing for prescription medications. These benchmarks include Average Wholesale Price
(AWP), wholesale acquisition cost and average manufacturer price. Most of our commercial
contracts utilize the AWP benchmark.
In 2006, First DataBank, a leading provider of electronic drug information to the healthcare
industry, entered into a proposed settlement to address certain practices regarding the
establishment of the benchmark AWP for medications. While the court recently denied without
prejudice final approval of the proposed settlement, if the proposed settlement, or one including
similar provisions, is ultimately approved, it may have industry-wide impact on prescription
pricing. We generally utilize Medi-Span for determining AWP; in 2007, Medi-Span entered into a
proposed settlement agreement similar to that agreed to by First DataBank. We are paid by many
Health Plans and PBMs as a mail order and specialty pharmacy using AWP as reported by First
DataBank. Most of our provider and payor agreements contain provisions that allow us to manage the
impact of this proposed settlement if ratified as is or modified by the parties or the court. At
this time we are unable to determine whether changes to AWP pricing methodology or the First
DataBank and Medi-Span AWP settlements would have a material adverse effect on us or our financial
condition or prospects.
2
Most of our provider and payor agreements contain provisions that allow us to manage the impact of
this proposed settlement, if ratified as is or modified by the parties or the court. However, we
can give no assurance that the short or long-term impact of changes to industry pricing benchmarks
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, results of operations and
financial condition in future periods.
Client demands for enhanced service levels or possible loss or unfavorable modification of
contracts with clients or providers could pressure margins.
As our clients face the continued rapid growth in prescription drug costs, they may demand
additional services and enhanced service levels to help mitigate the increase in spending. We
operate in a very competitive environment, and we may not be able to increase our fees to
compensate for these increased services, which could put pressure on our margins.
Our contracts with clients generally do not have terms longer than three years and, in some cases,
may be terminated by the client on relatively short notice. Our clients generally seek bids from
other PBM or specialty providers in advance of the expiration of their contracts. If several of
these clients elect not to extend their relationship with us, and we are not successful in
generating sales to replace the lost business, our future business and operating results could be
materially adversely affected. In addition, we believe the managed care industry is undergoing
substantial consolidation, and another party that is not our client could acquire some of our
managed care clients. In such case, the likelihood such client would renew its contract with us
could be reduced.
More than 58,000 retail pharmacies, which represent more than 98% of all United States retail
pharmacies, participate in our PBM pharmacy network. The top ten retail pharmacy chains represent
approximately 48% of the total number of stores and over 60% of prescriptions filled in our
network. Our contracts with retail pharmacies, which are non-exclusive, are generally terminable on
relatively short notice. If one or more of the top pharmacy chains elects to terminate its
relationship with us, our members access to retail pharmacies and our business could be materially
adversely affected. In addition, many large pharmacy chains either own PBMs today, or could attempt
to acquire a PBM in the future. Ownership of PBMs by retail pharmacy chains could have material
adverse effects on our relationships with such pharmacy chains and on our consolidated results of
operations, consolidated financial position and/or consolidated cash flow from operations.
Pending and future litigation could subject us to significant monetary damages and/or require us to
change our business practices.
We are subject to risks relating to litigation and other proceedings in connection with our
operations, including the dispensing of pharmaceutical products by our mail service and community
pharmacies. A list of the more material proceedings pending against us is included under Part I,
Item 3, Legal Proceedings to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007,
incorporated by reference herein. While we believe that these suits are without merit and intend
to contest them vigorously, we can give no assurance that an adverse outcome in one or more of
these suits would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations,
consolidated financial position and/or consolidated cash flow from operations, or would not require
us to make material changes to our business practices. We are presently responding to several
subpoenas and requests for information from governmental agencies. We confirmed that BioScrip is
not a target or a potential subject of those investigations and requests. We cannot predict with
certainty what the outcome of any of the foregoing might be. In addition to potential monetary
liability arising from these suits and proceedings, we are incurring costs in the defense of the
suits and in providing documents to government agencies. Certain of the costs are covered by our
insurance, but certain other costs are not insured. Such costs have become material to our
financial performances and we can give no assurance that such costs will not increase in the
future.
We may be subject to liability claims for damages and other expenses that are not covered by
insurance.
A successful product or professional liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage could harm
our financial condition and results of operations. Various aspects of our business may subject us
to litigation and liability for damages, including the performance of PBM Services and the
operation of our pharmacies. A successful professional liability claim in excess of our insurance
coverage could harm our financial condition and results of operations. For example, a prescription
drug dispensing error could result in a patient receiving the wrong or
3
incorrect amount of medication, leading to personal injury or death. Our business, financial
condition and results of operations could suffer if we pay damages or defense costs in connection
with a claim that is outside the scope of any applicable contractual indemnity or insurance
coverage.
Existing and new government legislative and regulatory action could adversely affect our business
and financial results.
As a participant in the pharmaceutical healthcare services industry, our operations are subject to
complex and evolving Federal and state laws and regulations and enforcement by Federal and state
governmental agencies. These laws and regulations are described in detail at Part I, Item 1,
Business Government Regulation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2007, incorporated by reference herein. While we believe we are operating our business in
substantial compliance with all existing legal requirements material to the operation of our
business, different interpretations and enforcement policies of these laws and regulations could
subject our current practices to allegations of impropriety or illegality, or could require us to
make significant changes to our operations. In addition, if we fail to comply with existing or
future applicable laws and regulations, we could suffer civil or criminal penalties, including our
ability to participate in Federal and state healthcare programs. In addition, we cannot predict the
impact of future legislation and regulatory changes on our business or assure that we will be able
to obtain or maintain the regulatory approvals required to operate our business.
In addition, under the Deficit Reduction Act of 2006, additional Federal government matching of
state Medicaid funding was provided for states that commit resources to additional auditing of
Medicaid and Medicare fraud. This initiative has led to increased auditing activities by state
healthcare regulators. As such, we have been the subject of increased audits by these state
regulators. While we believe that we are in compliance with Medicaid and Medicare billing rules and
requirements, there can be no assurance that regulators disagree with the methodology employed by
us in billing for our products and services. While we believe that we are in material and
substantial compliance with the billing rules and requirements of Medicaid and Medicare, a material
disagreement between us and these governmental agencies on the manner in which we provide products
or services could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations, financial position
and results of operations.
Loss of relationships with one or more pharmaceutical manufacturers and changes in payments made by
pharmaceutical manufacturers could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We have contractual relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers that provide discounts on drugs
dispensed from our mail service and community pharmacies, and pay service fees for other programs
and services that we provide. Our business and financial results could be adversely affected if:
(i) we were to lose relationships with one or more key pharmaceutical manufacturers; (ii) discounts
decline due to changes in utilization of specified pharmaceutical products by health Plan Sponsors
and other clients; (iii) legal restrictions are imposed on the ability of pharmaceutical
manufacturers to offer rebates, administrative fees or other discounts or to purchase our programs
or services; or (iv) pharmaceutical manufacturers choose not to offer rebates, administrative fees
or other discounts or to purchase our programs or services.
Failure to develop new products, services and delivery channels may adversely affect our business.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. We develop new products and services from time to
time to assist our clients in managing the pharmacy benefit. If we are unsuccessful in developing
innovative products and services, our ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients
may suffer.
Technology is also an important component of our business, as we continue to utilize new and better
channels to communicate and interact with our clients, members and business partners. If our
competitors are more successful than us in employing this technology, our ability to attract new
clients, retain existing clients and operate efficiently may suffer.
4
The success of our business depends on maintaining a well-secured business and technology
infrastructure.
We are dependent on our infrastructure, including our information systems, for many aspects of our
business operations. A fundamental requirement for our business is the secure storage and
transmission of personal health information and other confidential data. Our business and
operations may be harmed if we do not maintain our business processes and information systems, and
the integrity of our confidential information. Although we have developed systems and processes
that are designed to protect information against security breaches, failure to protect such
information or mitigate any such breaches may adversely affect our operating results. Malfunctions
in our business processes, breaches of our information systems or the failure to maintain effective
and up-to-date information systems could disrupt our business operations, result in customer and
member disputes, damage our reputation, expose us to risk of loss or litigation, result in
regulatory violations, increase administrative expenses or lead to other adverse consequences.
The use of personal health information in our business is regulated at Federal, state and local
levels. These laws and rules change frequently and developments often require adjustments or
modifications to our technology infrastructure. Noncompliance with these regulations could harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Problems in the implementation and conversion of our new pharmacy system could result in additional
expense.
The Company has committed significant resources in a new pharmacy dispensing, clinical management
and accounts receivable management system designed to streamline our business processes, provide
improved data reporting, data management, scalability and cash posting and billing and collections.
Delays in the implementation of this system could result in higher operating costs, additional
charges for system design changes or delays in the execution of our strategic plan due to our
inability to scale our current operating systems.
Our failure to maintain controls and processes over billing and collecting could have a significant
negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
The collection of accounts receivable is a significant challenge and requires constant focus and
involvement by management and ongoing enhancements to information systems and billing center
operating procedures. If we are unable to properly bill and collect our accounts receivable, our
results could be materially and adversely affected. While management believes that controls and
processes are satisfactory there can be no assurance that accounts receivable collectibility will
remain at current levels.
Efforts to reduce healthcare costs and alter health care financing practices could adversely affect
our business.
During the past several years, the U.S. healthcare industry has been subject to an increase in
governmental regulation at both the Federal and state levels. Certain proposals have been made at
the Federal and state government levels in an effort to control healthcare costs, including
lowering reimbursement and/or proposing to lower reimbursement under Medicaid and Medicare
programs. These proposals include single payor government funded healthcare and price controls on
prescription drugs. If these or similar efforts are successful our business and operations could be
materially adversely affected. In addition, changing political, economic and regulatory influences
may affect healthcare financing and reimbursement practices. If the current healthcare financing
and reimbursement system changes significantly, our business could be materially adversely
affected. Congress periodically considers proposals to reform the U.S. healthcare system. These
proposals may increase government involvement in healthcare and regulation of PBM services, or
otherwise change the way our clients do business. Health Plan Sponsors may react to these proposals
and the uncertainty surrounding them by reducing or delaying purchases of cost control mechanisms
and related services that we provide. We cannot predict what effect, if any, these proposals may
have on our business. Other legislative or market-driven changes in the healthcare system that we
cannot anticipate could also materially adversely affect our consolidated results of operations,
consolidated financial position and/or consolidated cash flow from operations.
5
Prescription volumes may decline, and our net revenues and profitability may be negatively
impacted, when products are withdrawn from the market or when increased safety risk profiles of
specific drugs result in utilization decreases.
We process significant volumes of pharmacy claims for brand-name and generic drugs from our mail
service and community pharmacies and through our network of retail pharmacies. These volumes are
the basis for our net revenues and profitability. When products are withdrawn by manufacturers, or
when increased safety risk profiles of specific drugs or classes of drugs result in utilization
decreases, physicians may cease writing or reduce the numbers of prescriptions written for these
drugs. Additionally, negative media reports regarding drugs with higher safety risk profiles may
result in reduced consumer demand for such drugs. In cases where there are no acceptable
prescription drug equivalents or alternatives for these prescription drugs, our prescription
volumes, net revenues, profitability and cash flows may decline.
The loss of a relationship with one or more Plan Sponsors could negatively impact our business.
Where we do not have preferred or exclusive arrangements with Plan Sponsors, our contracts for
reimbursement with Plan Sponsors are often on a perpetual or evergreen basis. These evergreen
contracts are subject to termination by a Plan Sponsor upon 30, 60 or 90 days notice. Depending on
the significance of the Plan Sponsor or Plan Sponsors in the aggregate as a percentage of revenue,
one or more terminations could have a material and adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial performance. We are unaware of any intention by a Plan Sponsor to terminate or not renew
an agreement with us.
Network lock-outs by health insurers could adversely affect our financial results.
Many Plan Sponsors and PBMs continue to create exclusive specialty networks which limit a members
access to a mail service facility or network of preferred pharmacies. To the extent our pharmacies
are excluded from these networks, we are unable to dispense medications to those members and bill
for prescriptions to those members insurance carriers. If these specialty networks continue to
expand and we are locked out from dispensing specialty medications to members of exclusive
networks, our revenues, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Use of Proceeds and Plan of Distribution
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling
stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from
the sale of the common stock will be the purchase price of the common stock less any discounts and
commissions. A selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents, to
reject, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents.
The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling
stockholders. The term selling stockholders includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling
stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer. The
selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing,
manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices
related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholders
may sell their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such
broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
|
|
|
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to
sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of
the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
in over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of
the Nasdaq Global Select Market; |
|
|
|
|
in privately negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
|
in options transactions; or |
|
|
|
|
in a combination of such transactions. |
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144
rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to
describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or
otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or
other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other
financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell the common
stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders
may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial
institutions that require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of
shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution,
and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the
pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for
other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or
concessions from the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the
sale.
8
In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealers
who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the
meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the selling
stockholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts
and commissions.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be
sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in
certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in
the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the
Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling
stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to
the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in
transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be
distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering,
including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter,
any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or
concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the
public.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL) provides that a corporation may
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 whether civil, criminal or investigative (other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he 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, partnership, joint
venture, trust 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. Section 145
further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such
capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened,
II-1
pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit 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
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought
shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such
expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, to
limit or eliminate, subject to some statutory limitations, the liability of directors to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty, except for
liability (a) for any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of
dividends and unlawful stock purchase and redemption), or (d) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation provides that our directors shall not be liable to the company or its stockholders
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability arising out of clauses (a) through
(d) in the preceding paragraph. The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
our Amended and Restated By-Laws further provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
In addition, we maintain director and officer liability insurance policies. under which the
directors and officers of the Company are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations
of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or
proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or
proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers,
which could include liabilities under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

Item 9. 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 (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 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 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 (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this
section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in 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.
(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the
II-3
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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
SIGNATURES
