<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This Registration Statement covers deferred compensation obligations (&#147;DCOs&#148;) that may be
offered under the Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Plan document, which is filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement and incorporated by
reference into this Item&nbsp;4.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan is effective as of June&nbsp;1, 2008 and was approved by the Registrant&#146;s Board of
Directors on April&nbsp;8, 2008. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Registrant at any time in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. As required by applicable law, participation in the Plan is
limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees and non-employee directors
of the Registrant (the &#147;Participants&#148;). The Plan is intended to provide Participants with the
ability to defer income that would otherwise be payable to them for tax planning purposes. The
Plan permits Participants to defer amounts in a manner similar to the way in which a 401(k) plan
operates, but without regard to the maximum deferral limitations imposed on 401(k) plans by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;). The Plan is also intended to comply with
Section&nbsp;409A of the Code. The Plan is unfunded and unsecured, and the DCOs rank pari passu with
other unsecured and unfunded indebtedness of the Registrant. Nothing in the Plan creates or may be construed as creating a trust of any
kind between the Registrant and a Participant or any other person.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The DCOs issuable under the Plan represent the Registrant&#146;s obligations to pay to Participants
certain compensation amounts that the Participants have elected to defer plus certain discretionary
matching amounts and/or employer contributions and hypothetical investment earnings, as further
described below. Each Participant in the Plan may elect to defer a specified percentage of his or
her annual base salary and bonus or director fees, as applicable. Amounts deferred by a
Participant are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of the Participant. These
bookkeeping accounts are utilized solely to measure and determine the amounts to be paid to a
Participant, or his or her designated beneficiary, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Amounts
credited to each Participant under the Plan will be adjusted for earnings daily at a rate that is
equal to one or more of the measurement funds elected by the Participant from a menu of funds
selected by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. In addition, the
Registrant may credit additional matching amounts and/or employer contributions to a Participant&#146;s
account for any Plan year as determined by the Registrant. Any matching amounts or employer
contributions will be subject to a vesting schedule. In the event of the termination of the Plan,
any existing DCOs may be paid to Participants and beneficiaries, as applicable, at any time in
accordance with applicable laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions under the Plan will be made in accordance with elections filed by the
Participants at the time of their initial deferrals. Distributions generally are expected to occur
after a Participant&#146;s separation from service, death or disability, or after a specified date or an
unforeseeable emergency. The DCOs are payable in cash in a lump sum or installments, pursuant to
payment schedules elected by the Participants in accordance with the Plan, and are subject to
applicable tax withholdings. The DCOs generally are not transferable.

threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the

her conduct was unlawful.

may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any

judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set
forth above, against expenses (including attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under
similar standards, except that no indemnification may 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 court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that: (i)&nbsp;to the extent

any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a)&nbsp;and (b)&nbsp;or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys&#146; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; (ii)&nbsp;indemnification provided for by Section&nbsp;145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and (iii)&nbsp;the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any present or former director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or any person who at the request of the corporation
was serving in such capacity for another entity against any liability asserted against such person
and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liabilities under Section&nbsp;145.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As permitted by Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant&#146;s
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
However, such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or
omissions not in good faith or for breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase that was
illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Registrant&#146;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions requiring indemnification of directors
and executive officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, and permitting the indemnification of its other employees and agents (and
employees and agents of its subsidiaries and affiliates) to the fullest extent authorized under the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and each of its officers at the senior vice president level and above. These
agreements provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the provisions of the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, expenses
incurred by a director or executive officer in defending a civil or criminal suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking indemnification to
repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.
The Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes, but does not require,
advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Registrant on the same conditions that apply
to directors and executive officers of the Registrant. The rights to indemnification set forth in
the Registrant&#146;s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws are not exclusive of any
provisions with respect thereto in other contracts or agreements between the Registrant and any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant, including the indemnification agreements
described above.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any
liability that may be asserted against such person. All of the Registrant&#146;s directors and officers
are covered by insurance policies maintained by the Registrant against certain liabilities for
actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The above discussion of the Delaware General Corporation Law and of the Registrant&#146;s Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute, Certificate, bylaws and
indemnification agreements.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;to include any prospectus required by Section&nbsp;10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20&nbsp;percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the &#147;Calculation of Registration Fee&#148; table in the effective
Registration Statement;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><I>Provided, however, </I>that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section&nbsp;13 or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;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.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan&#146;s 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 <I>bona fide </I>offering thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed with the Commission by NeuStar, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company" or the "Registrant"), are incorporated by reference herein:
(a)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and
filed with the Commission on February 28, 2008 (File No. 001-32548) pursuant to Section 13 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
(b)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end
of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant's financial statements included in the most
recent annual report referred to in (a) above.
All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act subsequent to the effective date of this Registration Statement and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities
offered hereby have been sold or deregistering all securities then remaining unsold, shall be
deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents. In no event, however, will any information that the Registrant discloses under Item
2.02 or Item 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K that the Registrant may from time to time
furnish to the Commission be incorporated by reference into, or otherwise become a part of, this
Registration Statement. Any statement contained in any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this
Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently
filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein is inconsistent
with or modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall
not be deemed to constitute a part of this Registration Statement, except as so modified or
superseded. The Registrant's Exchange Act file number with the Commission is 001-32548.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
This Registration Statement covers deferred compensation obligations ("DCOs") that may be
offered under the Plan. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Plan document, which is filed as an exhibit to this Registration Statement and incorporated by
reference into this Item 4.
The Plan is effective as of June 1, 2008 and was approved by the Registrant's Board of
Directors on April 8, 2008. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Registrant at any time in
accordance with the terms of the Plan. As required by applicable law, participation in the Plan is
limited to a select group of management or highly compensated employees and non-employee directors
of the Registrant (the "Participants"). The Plan is intended to provide Participants with the
ability to defer income that would otherwise be payable to them for tax planning purposes. The
Plan permits Participants to defer amounts in a manner similar to the way in which a 401(k) plan
operates, but without regard to the maximum deferral limitations imposed on 401(k) plans by the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Plan is also intended to comply with
Section 409A of the Code. The Plan is unfunded and unsecured, and the DCOs rank pari passu with
other unsecured and unfunded indebtedness of the Registrant. Nothing in the Plan creates or may be construed as creating a trust of any
kind between the Registrant and a Participant or any other person.
-2-
The DCOs issuable under the Plan represent the Registrant's obligations to pay to Participants
certain compensation amounts that the Participants have elected to defer plus certain discretionary
matching amounts and/or employer contributions and hypothetical investment earnings, as further
described below. Each Participant in the Plan may elect to defer a specified percentage of his or
her annual base salary and bonus or director fees, as applicable. Amounts deferred by a
Participant are credited to a bookkeeping account maintained on behalf of the Participant. These
bookkeeping accounts are utilized solely to measure and determine the amounts to be paid to a
Participant, or his or her designated beneficiary, pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Amounts
credited to each Participant under the Plan will be adjusted for earnings daily at a rate that is
equal to one or more of the measurement funds elected by the Participant from a menu of funds
selected by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Registrant. In addition, the
Registrant may credit additional matching amounts and/or employer contributions to a Participant's
account for any Plan year as determined by the Registrant. Any matching amounts or employer
contributions will be subject to a vesting schedule. In the event of the termination of the Plan,
any existing DCOs may be paid to Participants and beneficiaries, as applicable, at any time in
accordance with applicable laws.
Distributions under the Plan will be made in accordance with elections filed by the
Participants at the time of their initial deferrals. Distributions generally are expected to occur
after a Participant's separation from service, death or disability, or after a specified date or an
unforeseeable emergency. The DCOs are payable in cash in a lump sum or installments, pursuant to
payment schedules elected by the Participants in accordance with the Plan, and are subject to
applicable tax withholdings. The DCOs generally are not transferable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware 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,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a
manner he or she 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 cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware 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 or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set
forth above, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted under
similar standards, except that no indemnification may 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 court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that,
despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that: (i) to the extent
that a former or present director or officer of a corporation has been successful in the defense of
any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; (ii) indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and (iii) the
corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any present or former director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation or any person who at the request of the corporation
was serving in such capacity for another entity against any liability asserted against such person
and incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such
liabilities under Section 145.
-3-
As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director shall not be liable to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.
However, such provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or
omissions not in good faith or for breaching his or her duty of loyalty, engaging in intentional
misconduct or knowingly violating a law, paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase that was
illegal, or obtaining an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws contain provisions requiring indemnification of directors
and executive officers of the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, and permitting the indemnification of its other employees and agents (and
employees and agents of its subsidiaries and affiliates) to the fullest extent authorized under the
Delaware General Corporation Law. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and each of its officers at the senior vice president level and above. These
agreements provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law.
Under the provisions of the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, expenses
incurred by a director or executive officer in defending a civil or criminal suit or proceeding
shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the person seeking indemnification to
repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified.
The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes, but does not require,
advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Registrant on the same conditions that apply
to directors and executive officers of the Registrant. The rights to indemnification set forth in
the Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws are not exclusive of any
provisions with respect thereto in other contracts or agreements between the Registrant and any
officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant, including the indemnification agreements
described above.
The Registrant may, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any
liability that may be asserted against such person. All of the Registrant's directors and officers
are covered by insurance policies maintained by the Registrant against certain liabilities for
actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The above discussion of the Delaware General Corporation Law and of the Registrant's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements is not intended to be
exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statute, Certificate, bylaws and
indemnification agreements.

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;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(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) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports
filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the 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 undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's 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
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
