    foreign currency exchange rates;
 
    the outcome of litigation against us;
 
    potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; and

     Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with other documents we file with the SEC.
     New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information.

As of December 31, 2006, PPL Corporation owned or controlled, through its subsidiaries, 11,556 megawatts, or MW, of electric power generation capacity and had plans to implement capital projects at certain existing generating facilities that would provide 349 MW of additional capacity by 2011. See “PPL Energy Supply, LLC” below for more information.
     PPL Corporation’s strategy for its energy supply business is to match energy supply with load, or customer demand, under agreements of varying lengths with creditworthy counterparties, to capture profits while effectively managing exposure to movements in energy and fuel prices and counterparty credit risk.

PPL Electric provides electricity delivery services to approximately 1.4 million customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania. See “PPL Electric Utilities Corporation” below for more information.

     In March, 2007 PPL Corporation announced that it intends to sell its regulated electricity delivery operations in Latin America through an auction process that it expects to take several months to complete.
     PPL Corporation’s strategy for its energy delivery businesses is to operate these businesses at the most efficient cost while maintaining high levels of customer service and reliability.
     PPL Corporation’s subsidiaries, including PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric, are separate legal entities, and are not liable for the debts of PPL Corporation, and PPL Corporation is not liable for the debts of its subsidiaries (other than under the PPL Guarantees and the PPL Subordinated Guarantees). Neither PPL Energy Supply nor PPL Electric will guarantee or provide other credit or funding support for the Securities to be offered by PPL Corporation pursuant to this prospectus.
PPL CAPITAL FUNDING, INC.
     PPL Capital Funding is a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PPL Corporation. PPL Capital Funding’s primary business is to provide PPL Corporation with financing for its operations. PPL Corporation will fully and unconditionally guarantee the payment of principal, premium and interest on the PPL Capital Funding Debt Securities pursuant to the PPL Guarantees and the PPL Capital Funding Subordinated Debt Securities pursuant to the PPL Subordinated Guarantees, as will be described in supplements to this prospectus.
PPL ENERGY SUPPLY, LLC
     PPL Energy Supply, formed in 2000 and headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is an energy company engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the generation and marketing of electricity in the northeastern and western power markets of the United States and in the delivery of electricity in the United Kingdom and Latin America. PPL Energy Supply’s major operating subsidiaries are PPL Generation, PPL EnergyPlus and PPL Global. PPL Energy Supply is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PPL Corporation. See “PPL Corporation” above for more information.
Energy Supply: PPL Generation and PPL EnergyPlus
     As of December 31, 2006, PPL Energy Supply owned or controlled, through its PPL Generation subsidiary, 11,556 MW of electric power generation capacity, with power plants in Pennsylvania (9,229 MW), Montana (1,289 MW), Illinois (540 MW), Connecticut (243 MW), New York (159 MW) and Maine (96 MW). PPL Generation also has current plans to implement capital projects at certain of its existing generation facilities in Pennsylvania and Montana that would provide 349 MW of additional generation capacity by 2011. PPL

Table of Contents

Generation’s plants are fueled by nuclear fuel, coal, gas, oil and water. The electricity from these plants is sold to PPL EnergyPlus under FERC-jurisdictional power purchase agreements.
     PPL EnergyPlus markets or brokers the electricity produced by PPL Generation’s subsidiaries, along with purchased power, natural gas and oil, in competitive wholesale and deregulated retail markets, primarily in the northeastern and western portions of the United States. PPL EnergyPlus also provides energy-related products and services, such as engineering and mechanical contracting, construction and maintenance services, to commercial and industrial customers.
     At December 31, 2006, PPL Energy Supply estimated that, on average, approximately 89% of its expected annual generation output for the period 2007 through 2010 would be used to meet:
    the obligation of its subsidiary PPL EnergyPlus under two agreements to provide electricity to PPL Electric, so that PPL Electric can, in turn, provide electricity as a “provider of last resort,” or “PLR,” through 2009 under fixed-price tariffs pursuant to the Pennsylvania Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act, or Customer Choice Act (See “PPL Electric Utilities Corporation—Provider of Last Resort”);
 
    PPL EnergyPlus’ obligation under agreements to provide electricity to NorthWestern Corporation through June 2014; and
 
    other contractual sales to other counterparties for terms of various lengths.
     In anticipation of the expiration of the PLR agreements referenced above at the end of 2009, and consistent with its business strategy, PPL Energy Supply has already entered into commitments for a portion of the output of its facilities for the years 2010 and later. PPL’s strategy for 2007 is to obtain commitments for 30 to 50 percent of its 2010 baseload generation output in the PJM Interconnection region. PPL has already obtained commitments at the lower end of this range. Based on the way in which the wholesale markets have developed over the last several years, PPL Energy Supply expects that these new agreements are likely to continue to be of a shorter duration than the current PLR agreements, which at inception had terms of approximately nine years.
International Energy Delivery: PPL Global
     PPL Energy Supply provides electricity delivery services in the United Kingdom and Latin America through its PPL Global subsidiary, which currently owns and operates electricity delivery businesses serving approximately 3.7 million customers. PPL Global owns Western Power Distribution Holdings Limited and WPD Investment Holdings Limited, which together we refer to as WPD. WPD operates two electric distribution companies in the U.K., which together serve approximately 2.6 million

Table of Contents

end-users. PPL Global’s Latin American subsidiaries in Chile, El Salvador and Bolivia serve an aggregate of approximately 1.1 million end-users.
     As discussed above, in March, 2007 PPL Corporation announced that it intends to sell its regulated electricity delivery operations in Latin America.
     PPL Energy Supply’s strategy for its international electricity delivery businesses is to operate these businesses at the most efficient cost while maintaining high levels of customer service and reliability.
     Neither PPL Corporation nor any of its other subsidiaries or affiliates will guarantee or provide other credit or funding support for the securities to be offered by PPL Energy Supply pursuant to this prospectus.
PPL ELECTRIC UTILITIES CORPORATION
     PPL Electric, incorporated in 1920 and headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, is a direct subsidiary of PPL Corporation and a regulated public utility. PPL Electric provides electricity delivery services to approximately 1.4 million customers in eastern and central Pennsylvania. PPL Electric also provides electricity supply to retail customers in that territory as a PLR under the Customer Choice Act.
     Provider of Last Resort. Pursuant to a 1998 order issued by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PUC, PPL Electric agreed to provide electricity supply as a PLR to retail customers in its service territory not selecting an alternate electric energy supplier at predetermined capped rates through 2009. In order to meet this obligation, PPL Electric entered into full-requirements energy supply agreements with another subsidiary of PPL Corporation, PPL EnergyPlus, designed to provide PPL Electric with sufficient supply to satisfy its PLR obligation through the end of 2009. PPL Electric’s PLR obligation after 2009 will be determined by the PUC pursuant to rules that have not yet been promulgated. While regulations governing PLR obligations after 2009 have been proposed for comment by the PUC, at this time, PPL Electric cannot predict the content of these regulations, including whether this will include requirements for the

10


Table of Contents

pricing and other terms of PLR contracts, or when the regulations will be finalized. PPL Electric also cannot predict the extent to which it will purchase power from PPL EnergyPlus after 2009.
     Strategic Initiative. In 2001, PPL Electric completed a strategic initiative designed to reduce its business and financial risk profile by, among other things, limiting its business activities to the transmission and distribution of electricity and businesses related to or arising out of the electric transmission and distribution businesses and reduce its exposure to volatility in energy prices associated with its PLR obligation. Obtaining long-term electric supply agreements with PPL EnergyPlus to meet its PLR obligations through 2009 at prices generally equal to the predetermined capped rates it was allowed to charge PLR customers was a key component of this initiative. Other key components of the initiative involved actions to confirm PPL Electric’s legal separation from PPL Corporation and PPL Corporation’s other subsidiaries. In connection with the initiative PPL Electric:
    adopted amendments to its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws containing corporate governance and operating provisions designed to confirm and reinforce its legal and corporate separateness from PPL Corporation and its other affiliated companies and providing for PPL Electric to limit its businesses to electric transmission and distribution and related activities;
 
    appointed an independent director to its Board of Directors and required the unanimous approval of the Board of Directors, including the consent of the independent director, to amendments to these corporate governance and operating provisions or to the commencement of any insolvency proceedings, including any filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or other similar actions; and
 
    in connection with the issuance of certain senior secured bonds, agreed to appoint an independent compliance administrator to review, on a semi-annual basis, its compliance with the corporate governance and operating requirements contained in its Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. When such bonds are no longer outstanding, and in certain other circumstances, PPL Electric will not be required to maintain an independent compliance administrator.
     The amended Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws permit PPL Electric’s Board of Directors to adopt additional amendments to the Bylaws, including amendments that revise or eliminate provisions that are designed to reinforce PPL Electric’s legal separateness from its affiliates. However, any such amendment must be approved unanimously by PPL Electric’s Board of Directors, including the independent director.
     The enhancements to PPL Electric’s legal separation from its affiliates were intended to minimize the risk that a court would order PPL Electric’s assets and liabilities to be substantively consolidated with those of PPL Corporation or another affiliate of PPL Corporation in the event that PPL Corporation or another PPL Corporation affiliate were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case. However, if PPL Corporation or another PPL Corporation affiliate were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case, there can be no assurance that a court would not order PPL Electric’s assets and liabilities to be consolidated with those of PPL Corporation or such other PPL Corporation affiliate. Any such substantive consolidation could result in delays or reductions in payments on PPL Electric’s Securities.
     Neither PPL Corporation nor any of PPL Corporation’s subsidiaries or affiliates will guarantee or provide other credit or funding support for the securities to be offered by PPL Electric pursuant to this prospectus.

     No separate financial statements of PPL Capital Funding are included herein or incorporated herein by reference. PPL Corporation and PPL Capital Funding do not consider those financial statements to be material to holders of the PPL Capital Funding Debt Securities or PPL Capital Funding Subordinated Debt Securities because (1) PPL Capital Funding is a wholly-owned subsidiary that was formed for the primary purpose of providing financing for PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries, (2) PPL Capital Funding does not currently engage in any independent operations and (3) PPL Capital Funding does not currently plan to engage, in the future, in more than minimal independent operations. See “PPL Capital Funding.” PPL Capital Funding has received a “no action” letter from the Staff of the SEC stating that the Staff would not raise any objection if PPL Capital Funding does not file periodic reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, PPL Corporation and PPL Capital Funding do not expect PPL Capital Funding to file those reports.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
PPL Corporation
     Section 7.01 of the Bylaws of PPL Corporation provides:
     (a) Right to Indemnification. Except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of the corporation shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by the corporation against reasonable expense and any liability paid or incurred by such person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the corporation or otherwise, in which he or she may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person being or having been a director or officer of the corporation or by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity (such claim, action, suit or proceeding hereinafter being referred to as “action”). Such indemnification shall include the right to have expenses incurred by such person in connection with an action paid in advance by the corporation prior to final disposition of such action, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by law. Persons who are not directors or officers of the corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the corporation or to another such entity at the request of the corporation to the extent the board of directors at any time denominates such person as entitled to the benefits of this Section 7.01. As used herein, “expense” shall include fees and expenses of counsel selected by such person; and “liability” shall include amounts of judgments, excise taxes, fines and penalties, and amounts paid in settlement.
     (b) Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 7.01 is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that the conduct of the claimant was such that under Pennsylvania law the corporation would be prohibited from indemnifying the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel and its shareholders)

II-1


Table of Contents

to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the conduct of the claimant was not such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law.
     (c) Insurance and Funding. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any person eligible to be indemnified hereunder against any liability or expense asserted or incurred by such person in connection with any action, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under the provisions of this Section 7.01. The corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, cause a letter of credit to be issued or use other means (whether or not similar to the foregoing) to ensure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.
     (d) Non-Exclusivity; Nature and Extent of Rights. The right of indemnification provided for herein (1) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, whether now existing or hereafter created, to which those seeking indemnification hereunder may be entitled under any agreement, bylaw or charter provision, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, (2) shall be deemed to create contractual rights in favor of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, (3) shall continue as to persons who have ceased to have the status pursuant to which they were entitled or were denominated as entitled to indemnification hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder and (4) shall be applicable to actions, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof. The right of indemnification provided for herein may not be amended, modified or repealed so as to limit in any way the indemnification provided for herein with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of any such amendment, modification or repeal.
     Directors and officers of PPL Corporation may also be indemnified in certain circumstances pursuant to the statutory provisions of general application contained in Pennsylvania law. Furthermore, PPL Corporation, as well as its directors and officers, may be entitled to indemnification by any underwriters named in a prospectus supplement against certain civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 under agreements entered into between PPL Corporation and such underwriters.
     PPL Corporation presently has insurance policies which, among other things, include liability insurance coverage for officers and directors and officers and directors of PPL Corporation’s subsidiaries, including PPL Capital Funding, Inc., under which such officers and directors are covered against any “loss” by reason of payment of damages, judgments, settlements and costs, as well as charges and expenses incurred in the defense of actions, suits or proceedings. “Loss” is specifically defined to exclude fines and penalties, as well as matters deemed uninsurable under the law pursuant to which the insurance policy shall be construed. The policies also contain other specific exclusions, including illegally obtained personal profit or advantage, and dishonesty.
PPL Capital Funding, Inc.
     Article VI of the By-Laws of PPL Capital Funding, Inc. provides:
     Section 6.1. Right to Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person (an “Indemnitee”) who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he, or a person for whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the written request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, the

II-2


Table of Contents

Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnitee only if the commencement of such proceeding (or part thereof) by the Indemnitee was authorized by the Board of Directors.
     Section 6.2. Prepayment of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise.
     Section 6.3. Claims. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Article VI is not paid in full within sixty (60) days after a written claim therefor by the Indemnitee has been received by the Corporation, the Indemnitee may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action the Corporation shall have the burden of providing that the Indemnitee is not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.
     Section 6.4. Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any Indemnitee by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, these by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
     Section 6.5. Other Sources. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or to advance expenses to any Indemnitee who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity shall be reduced by any amount such Indemnitee may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit enterprise.
     Section 6.6. Amendment or Repeal. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VI shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Indemnitee in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal of modification.
     Section 6.7. Other Indemnification and Prepayment of Expenses. This Article VI shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than Indemnitees when and as authorized by appropriate corporate action.
     Article 7 of the Certificate of Incorporation of PPL Capital Funding, Inc. provides:
     The Corporation shall indemnify to the full extent authorized by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or serves or served any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation. No director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Corporation, except for liability (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 Delaware General Corporation Law; or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
     Directors and officers of PPL Capital Funding, Inc. may also be indemnified in certain circumstances pursuant to the statutory provisions of general application contained in Delaware law.

The registrant’s Limited Liability Company Agreement contains provisions which limit liability to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
     Section 6.2 of the PPL Energy Supply, LLC’s Limited Liability Company Agreement provides, in part, as follows:

A Covered Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.2 with respect to (i) any Claim with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or (B) was authorized or consented to by the Board. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized by this Section 6.2.
     Any repeal or modification of this Article VI by the Member shall not adversely affect any rights of such Covered Person pursuant to this Article VI, including the right to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a Covered Person existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

PPL Electric Utilities Corporation
     Section 7.02 of the Bylaws of PPL Electric Utilities Corporation provides:
     (a) Right To Indemnification. Except as prohibited by law, every director and officer of the Company shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by the Company against reasonable expense and any liability paid or incurred by such person in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding, civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, whether brought by or in the right of the Company or otherwise, in which he or she may be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of such person being or having been a director or officer of the Company or by reason of the fact that such person is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or other representative of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity (such claim, action, suit or proceeding hereinafter being referred to as “action”). Such indemnification shall include the right to have expenses incurred by such person in connection with an action paid in advance by the Company prior to final disposition of such action, subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by law. Persons who are not directors or officers of the Company may be similarly indemnified in respect of service to the Company or to another such entity at the request of the Company to the extent the Board of Directors at any time denominates such person as entitled to the benefits of this Section 7.02. As used herein, “expense” shall include fees and expenses of counsel selected by such person; and “liability” shall include amounts of judgments, excise taxes, fines and penalties, and amounts paid in settlement.
     (b) Right Of Claimant To Bring Suit. If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 7.02 is not paid in full by the Company within thirty days after a written claim has been received by the Company, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that the conduct of the claimant was such that under Pennsylvania law the Company would be prohibited from indemnifying the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel and its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the conduct of the claimant was not such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its shareholders) that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the conduct of the claimant was such that indemnification would be prohibited by law.
     (c) Insurance and Funding. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any person eligible to be indemnified hereunder against any liability or expense asserted or incurred by such person in connection with any action, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability or expense by law or under the provisions of this Section 7.02. The Company may create a trust fund, grant a security interest, cause a letter of credit to be issued or use other means (whether or not similar to the foregoing) to ensure the payment of such sums as may become necessary to effect indemnification as provided herein.
     (d) Non-Exclusivity; Nature And Extent Of Rights. The right of indemnification provided for herein (1) shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, whether now existing or hereafter created, to which those seeking indemnification hereunder may be entitled under any agreement, bylaw or charter provision, vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, (2) shall be deemed to create contractual rights in favor of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, (3) shall continue as to persons who have ceased to have the status pursuant to which they were entitled or were denominated as entitled to indemnification hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of persons entitled to indemnification hereunder and (4) shall be applicable to actions, suits or proceedings commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after the adoption hereof. The right of indemnification provided for herein may not be amended, modified or repealed so as to limit in any

     (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 (i), (ii) and (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 registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is 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 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:
     (A) Each prospectus filed by the registrants 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
     (B) 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 registrants under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants 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 registrants will be sellers 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 registrants 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 registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
     (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and
     (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.
     (b) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants’ annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of

II-7


Table of Contents

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 registrants 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
