The proposed maximum offering price per security will be determined, from time to time, by the Registrant in connection with the sale by the Registrant of the securities registered under this Registration Statement.

b) There is being registered hereunder an indeterminate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock, or warrants as may be sold, from time to time. Warrants represent rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities.

c) There is being registered hereunder an indeterminate number of subscription rights as may be sold, from time to time.

d) There is being registered hereunder an indeterminate principal amount of debt securities as may be sold, from time to time. If any debt securities are issued at an original issue discount, then the offering price shall be in such greater principal amount as shall result in an aggregate price to investors not to exceed $240,905,146.

e) Such units may consist of a combination of any one or more of the securities being registered hereunder and may also include securities issued by third parties, including the U.S. Treasury.

f) In no event will the aggregate offering price of all securities issued from time to time pursuant to this Registration Statement exceed $240,905,146.</ffd:OfferingNote>
