I. Eligibility Requirements for Use of Form S-3
	
This instruction sets forth registrant requirements and transaction requirements for the use of Form S-3. Any registrant which meets
the requirements of I.A. below (“Registrant Requirements”) may use this Form for the registration of securities under the Securities Act

requirement applicable to the specified transaction are met. With respect to majority-owned subsidiaries, see Instruction I.C. below. With
respect to well-known seasoned issuers and majority-owned subsidiaries of well-known seasoned issuers, see Instruction I.D. below.
A.	 Registrant Requirements. Registrants must meet the following conditions in order to use this Form S-3 for registration
under the Securities Act of securities offered in the transactions specified in I. B. below:
l.	

The registrant is organized under the laws of the United States or any State or Territory or the District of Columbia and
has its principal business operations in the United States or its territories.

2.	 The registrant has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(“Exchange Act”) or a class of equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or is required
to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
3.	 The registrant:
		
	
(a) has been subject to the requirements of Section 12 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all the material
required to be filed pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) for a period of at least twelve calendar months immediately
preceding the filing of the registration statement on this Form; and
	

(b) has filed in a timely manner all reports required to be filed during the twelve calendar months and any portion of a
month immediately preceding the filing of the registration statement, other than a report that is required solely pursuant to Item 1.01, 1.02, 1.04, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 4.02(a) or 5.02(e) of Form 8-K (§249.308 of this chapter). If the
registrant has used (during the twelve calendar months and any portion of a month immediately preceding the filing
of the registration statement) Rule 12b-25(b) (§240.12b-25(b) of this chapter) under the Exchange Act with respect to
a report or a portion of a report, that report or portion thereof has actually been filed within the time period prescribed
by that rule.

4. 	 Neither the registrant nor any of its consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries have, since the end of the last fiscal
year for which certified financial statements of the registrant and its consolidated subsidiaries were included in a report
filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act: (a) failed to pay any dividend or sinking fund installment
on preferred stock; or (b) defaulted (i) on any installment or installments on indebtedness for borrowed money, or (ii)
on any rental on one or more long term leases, which defaults in the aggregate are material to the financial position of
the registrant and its consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
5.	 A foreign issuer, other than a foreign government, which satisfies all of the above provisions of these registrant eligibility requirements except the provisions in I. A. l. relating to organization and principal business shall be deemed to
have met these registrant eligibility requirements provided that such a foreign issuer files the same reports with the
Commission under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as a domestic registrant pursuant to I. A. 3. above.
6.	 If the registrant is a successor registrant, it shall be deemed to have met conditions 1., 2., 3., and 5., above if: (a) its
predecessor and it, taken together, do so, provided that the succession was primarily for the purpose of changing the
state of incorporation of the predecessor or forming a holding company and that the assets and liabilities of the successor at the time of succession were substantially the same as those of the predecessor; or (b) if all predecessors met
the conditions at the time of succession and the registrant has continued to do so since the succession.
7.	 Electronic filings. In addition to satisfying the foregoing conditions, a registrant subject to the electronic filing require2

ments of Rule 101 of Regulation S-T (§232.101 of this chapter) shall have:

shorter period of time that the registrant was required to submit such files).

of the registrant is $75 million or more.
	

Instruction. For the purposes of this Form, “common equity” is as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 (§230.405 of

ties Act over the prior three years. For purposes of Instruction I.B.2(ii) above, an insurance company, as defined in 		
Section 2(a)(13) of the Securities Act, when using this Form to register offerings of insurance contracts, may include

offered, if such rights are granted on a pro rata basis to all existing security holders of the class of securities to
which the rights attach, (2) under a dividend or interest reinvestment plan, or (3) upon the conversion of outstanding convertible securities or the exercise of outstanding warrants or options issued by the issuer of the securities
to be offered, or by an affiliate of such issuer.

Instructions.
	 1. “Common equity” is as defined in Securities Act Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter). For purposes of computing the 		
aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and non-voting common equity pursuant to General Instruction 		
I.B.6., registrants shall use the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of 	
such common equity, in the principal market for such common equity as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of sale. See
the definition of “affiliate” in Securities Act Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter).
	 2. For purposes of computing the aggregate market value of all securities sold by or on behalf of the registrant in offerings
pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. during any period of 12 calendar months, registrants shall aggregate the gross proceeds
of such sales; provided, that, in the case of derivative securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of the registrant’s
4

common equity, registrants shall calculate the aggregate market value of any underlying equity shares in lieu of the market
value of the derivative securities. The aggregate market value of the underlying equity shall be calculated by multiplying the
maximum number of common equity shares into which the derivative securities are convertible or for which they are exercisable as of a date within 60 days prior to the date of sale, by the same per share market price of the registrant’s equity used for
purposes of calculating the aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and non-voting common equity pursuant to Instruction 1 to General Instruction I.B.6. If the derivative securities have been converted or exercised, the aggregate
market value of the underlying equity shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of shares into which the securities
were converted or received upon exercise, by the market price of such shares on the date of conversion or exercise.
3. If the aggregate market value of the registrant’s outstanding voting and nonvoting common equity computed pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.6. equals or exceeds $75 million subsequent to the effective date of this registration statement, then the
one third limitation on sales specified in General Instruction I.B.6(a) shall not apply to additional sales made pursuant to this
registration statement on or subsequent to such date and instead the registration statement shall be considered filed pursuant to
General Instruction I.B.1.
4. The term “Form 10 information” means the information that is required by Form 10 or Form 20-F (§249.210 or §249.220f
of this chapter), as applicable to the registrant, to register under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 each class of securities
being registered using this form. A registrant may provide the Form 10 information in another Commission filing with respect
to the registrant.
5. The date used in Instruction 2 to General Instruction I.B.6. shall be the same date used in Instruction 1 to General
Instruction I.B.6.
6. A registrant’s eligibility to register a primary offering on Form S-3 pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. does not mean
that the registrant meets the requirements of Form S-3 for purposes of any other rule or regulation of the Commission apart
from Rule 415(a)(1)(x) (§230.415(a)(1)(x) of this chapter).
7. Registrants must set forth on the outside front cover of the prospectus the calculation of the aggregate market value of the
registrant’s outstanding voting and nonvoting common equity pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. and the amount of all
securities offered pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes,
the date of the prospectus.
8. For purposes of General Instruction I.B.6(c), a “national securities exchange” shall mean an exchange registered as such
under Section 6(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
C. Majority-owned Subsidiaries. If a registrant is a majority-owned subsidiary, security offerings may be registered on this Form if:
l.

the registrant-subsidiary itself meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement;

2.

the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the conditions of Transaction Requirements B.2. (Primary Offerings of Non-Convertible Securities Other than Common Equity) are met;

3.

the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and provides a full and unconditional guarantee, as defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (§210.3-10 of this chapter),
of the payment obligations on the securities being registered, and the securities being registered are non-convertible
securities, other than common equity;

4.

the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and the securities of the registrant subsidiary being registered are full and unconditional guarantees, as defined in Rule
3-10 of Regulation S-X, of the payment obligations on the parent’s non-convertible securities, other than common
equity, being registered; or

5.

the parent of the registrant-subsidiary meets the Registrant Requirements and the applicable Transaction Requirement,
and the securities of the registrant subsidiary being registered are guarantees of the payment obligations on the nonconvertible securities, other than common equity, being registered by another majority-owned subsidiary of the parent
where the parent provides a full and unconditional guarantee, as defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, of such nonconvertible securities.

Note to General Instruction I.C.: With regard to paragraphs I.C.3, I.C.4, and I.C.5 above, the guarantor is the issuer of a separate
security consisting of the guarantee, which must be concurrently registered, but may be registered on the same registration statement
as are the non-convertible guaranteed securities.
D. Automatic shelf offerings by well-known seasoned issuers. Any registrant that is a well-known seasoned issuer as defined in
Rule 405 (§230.405 of this chapter) at the most recent eligibility determination date specified in paragraph (2) of that definition may

A. Attention is directed to the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act, particularly Regulation C thereunder
(l7 CFR 230.400 to 230.494). That Regulation contains general requirements regarding the preparation and filing of registration statements.
B.	 Attention is directed to Regulation S-K (17 CFR Part 229) for the requirements applicable to the content of the non-financial
statement portions of registration statements under the Securities Act. Where this Form directs the registrant to furnish
information required by Regulation S-K and the item of Regulation S-K so provides, information need only be furnished to
the extent appropriate. Notwithstanding Items 501 and 502 of Regulation S-K, no table of contents is required to be included

C. 	 A smaller reporting company, defined in Rule 405 (17 CFR 230.405), that is eligible to use Form S-3 shall use the
disclosure items in Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.10 et seq.) with specific attention to the scaled disclosure provided

for by Article 8 of Regulation S-X in lieu of the financial information called for by Item 11 in this form.

F. Information in Automatic and Non-Automatic Shelf Registration Statements.

	
Where securities are being registered on this Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1, I.B.2, I.B.6, I.C., or I.D., information is only required to be furnished as of the date of initial effectiveness of the registration statement to the extent required by Rule
430A or Rule 430B. Required information about a specific transaction must be included in the prospectus in the registration statement by means of a prospectus that is deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule
430B, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, or a periodic or current report under the Exchange Act incorporated
by reference into the registration statement and the prospectus and identified in a prospectus filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant
to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter), provided, however, that information specified by Item 16(b) of this Form or Rule 424(g)
(§230.424(g) of this chapter) shall be placed in an exhibit to one of these documents other than a periodic or current report under the
Exchange Act incorporated by reference into the registration statement. Each post-effective amendment or final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b), in either case filed to provide required information about a specific transaction, must include in the exhibit required
by Item 16(b) of this Form or Rule 424(g) (§230.424(g) of this chapter), respectively, the maximum aggregate amount or maximum
aggregate offering price of the securities to which the post-effective amendment or prospectus relates and each such prospectus must
indicate in such exhibit that it is a final prospectus for the related offering.	
	
G. Selling Security Holder Offerings.
	
	
Where a registrant eligible to register primary offerings on this Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1 registers securities
offerings on this Form pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1 or I.B.3 for the account of persons other than the registrant, if the offering of the securities, or securities convertible into such securities, that are being registered on behalf of the selling security holders
was completed and the securities, or securities convertible into such securities, were issued and outstanding prior to the original date
of filing the registration statement covering the resale of the securities, the registrant may, as permitted by Rule 430B(b), in lieu of
identifying selling security holders prior to effectiveness of the resale registration statement, refer to unnamed selling security holders
in a generic manner by identifying the initial transaction in which the securities were sold. Following effectiveness, the registrant must
include in a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7), a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, or an Exchange Act
report incorporated by reference into the prospectus that is part of the registration statement (which Exchange Act report is identified
in a prospectus filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7)) the names of previously unidentified selling security holders and amounts of securities that they intend to sell. If this Form is being filed pursuant to General Instruction I.D. by a well-known
seasoned issuer to register securities being offered for the account of persons other than the issuer, the registration statement and the
prospectus included in the registration statement do not need to designate the securities that will be offered for the account of such
persons, identify them, or identify the initial transaction in which the securities, or securities convertible into such securities, were sold
until the registrant files a post-effective amendment to the registration statement, a prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), or an Exchange
Act report (and prospectus filed, as required by Rule 430B, pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7)) containing information for the offering on
behalf of such persons.

Treatment
	
A registration statement on this Form S-3 relating solely to securities offered pursuant to dividend or interest reinvestment plans
will become effective automatically (Rule 462, §230.462 of this chapter) upon filing (Rule 456, §230.456 of this chapter). Post-effective
amendments to such a registration statement on this Form shall become effective upon filing (Rule 464, §230.464 of this chapter). All
filings made on or in connection with this Form become public upon filing with the Commission. As a result, requests for confidential
treatment made under Rule 406 (§230.406 of this chapter) must be processed with the Commission staff prior to the filing of such a registration statement. The number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment required by Rules 402 and 472 (§§230.402
and 230.472 of this chapter) shall be filed with the Commission: provided, however, That the number of additional copies referred to in
Rule 402(b) may be reduced from ten to three and the number of additional copies referred to in Rule 472(a) may be reduced from eight
to three, one of which shall be marked clearly and precisely to indicate changes.
IV. Registration of Additional Securities and Additional Classes of Securities
	
	
A. Registration of Additional Securities Pursuant to Rule 462(b). With respect to the registration of additional securities for
an offering pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act, the registrant may file a registration statement consisting only of the following: the facing page; a statement that the contents of the earlier registration statement, identified by file number, are incorporated by
reference; required opinions, consents, and filing fee-related information; the signature page; and any price-related information omitted
from the earlier registration statement in reliance on Rule 430A that the registrant chooses to include in the new registration statement.
The information contained in such a Rule 462(b) registration statement shall be deemed to be a part of the earlier registration statement
as of the date of effectiveness of the Rule 462(b) registration statement. Any opinion or consent required in the Rule 462(b) registration
statement may be incorporated by reference from the earlier registration statement with respect to the offering, if: (i) such opinion or
consent expressly provides for such incorporation; and (ii) such opinion relates to the securities registered pursuant to Rule 462(b). See
Rule 439(b) under the Securities Act (17 CFR 230.439(b)).
	
B. Registration of Additional Securities or Classes of Securities or Additional Registrants After Effectiveness. A
well-known seasoned issuer relying on General Instruction I.D. of this Form may register additional securities or classes of securities,
pursuant to Rule 413(b) by filing a post-effective amendment to the effective registration statement. The well-known seasoned issuer
may add majority-owned subsidiaries as additional registrants whose securities are eligible to be sold as part of the automatic shelf
registration statement by filing a post-effective amendment identifying the additional registrants, and the registrant and the additional
registrants and other persons required to sign the registration statement must sign the post-effective amendment. The post-effective
amendment must consist of the facing page; any disclosure required by this Form that is necessary to update the registration statement
to reflect the additional securities, additional classes of securities, or additional registrants; any required opinions and consents; and the
signature page. Required information, consents, or opinions may be included in the prospectus and the registration statement
through a post-effective amendment or may be provided through a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement and the prospectus that is part of the registration statement, or, as to the required information only, contained
in a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is deemed part of and included in the registration statement and prospectus that is
part of the registration statement.

Instructions to the Calculation of Filing Fee Tables and Related Disclosure
(“Instructions”):
	

1. General Requirements.

		
A. Applicable Table Requirements.
		
		
The “X” designation indicates the information required to be disclosed, as applicable, in tabular format. Add as 		
	
many rows of each table as necessary.
		

B. Security Types.

			
i. For securities that are initially being registered, choose a security type permitted to be registered on this
form from the following list of security types to respond to the applicable table requirement:
	
				
a. Asset-Backed Securities;
				
b. Debt;
				
c. Debt Convertible into Equity;
				
d. Equity;
				
e. Exchange-Traded Vehicle Securities;
				
f. Face Amount Certificates;
				
g. Limited Partnership Interests;
				
h. Mortgage Backed Securities;
				
i. Non-Convertible Debt;
				
j. Other; and
				
k. Unallocated (Universal) Shelf.
			
ii. When a table requires both security type and title of each class of securities, choose a security type from
the list in Instruction 1.B.i and provide this information for each unique combination of security type and title of each class
of securities. For example, it would be appropriate to provide the following on separate lines of Table 1:
			

Equity 		

Class A Preferred Shares

			
Equity 		
		
		
C. Fee Rate.

Class B Preferred Shares

		

For the current fee rate, see https://www.sec.gov/ofm/Article/feeamt.html.

		

D. Maximum Aggregate Amounts and Offering Prices in Connection with Post-Effective Amendments.

		
If required by General Instruction II.F of this Form, provide in narrative format the maximum aggregate amount or
maximum aggregate offering price of the securities to which the post-effective amendment relates. With respect to final prospectuses, see Rule 424(g)(2) (§230.424(g)(2) of this chapter).
12

E. Explanations.
If not otherwise explained in response to these instructions, disclose specific details relating to the fee calculation as
necessary to clarify the information presented in each table, including references to the provisions of Rule 457 (§230.457 of
this chapter) and any other rule being relied upon. All disclosure these Instructions require that is not specifically required to
be presented in tabular format must appear in narrative format immediately after the table(s) to which it corresponds except
the narrative disclosure referenced in Instruction 1.D must appear directly beneath the heading of this exhibit if the exhibit
does not otherwise require a table.
2. Table 1: Newly Registered and Carry Forward Securities Table and Related Disclosure.
A. Newly Registered Securities.
For securities that are initially being registered on this form, provide the following information.
i. Fees to Be Paid and Fees Previously Paid.
a. Fees to Be Paid.
Provide the information Table 1 requires under the heading “Newly Registered Securities” for the line item “Fees to 		
Be Paid” for securities to be registered for which filing fees have not already been paid in connection with the initial
filing of this form or a pre-effective amendment.
b. Fees Previously Paid.
Provide the information Table 1 requires under the heading “Newly Registered Securities” for the line item “Fees 		
Previously Paid” for securities to be registered for which filing fees have already been paid in connection with the
initial filing of this form or a pre-effective amendment.
ii. Fee Calculation or Carry Forward Rules.
a. Rule 457(a).
For a fee calculated as specified in Rule 457(a) (§230.457(a) of this chapter), enter “457(a)”.
b. Rule 457(o).
If relying on Rule 457(o) under the Securities Act (§230.457(o) of this chapter) to register securities on this Form by
maximum aggregate offering price, enter “457(o)”. You may omit from any such row the Amount Registered and the Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Unit.
c. Rule 457(r).
If relying on Rule 456(b) and Rule 457(r) under the Securities Act (§§230.456(b) and 230.457(r) of this chapter) to
defer a fee, enter “457(r)” and see Instruction 2.A.iii.c.
d. Rule 457(u).
If an offering of an indeterminate amount of exchange-traded vehicle securities is being registered, enter “457(u)”.
Separately, state that the registration statement covers an indeterminate amount of securities to be offered or sold and that
the filing fee will be calculated and paid in accordance with Rule 456(d) and Rule 457(u) (§ 230.456(d) and § 230.457(u) of
this chapter).
e. Other.
If relying on a rule other than Rule 457(a), (o), (r) or (u), enter “Other”.
iii. Other Tabular Information.
a. Provide the following information in the table for each unique combination of security type and title of
each class of securities to be registered as applicable except as otherwise provided by Instruction 2.A.iii.b or c:
1. The security type of the class of securities to be registered;
2. The title of the class of securities to be registered;
3. The amount of securities being registered expressed in terms of the number of securities, proposed maximum offering price per unit and resulting proposed maximum aggregate offering price, or, if the related filing fee
13

is calculated in reliance on Rule 457(o), the proposed maximum aggregate offering price;
4. The fee rate; and
5. The registration fee.
b. When registering two or more classes of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1., I.B.2., I.B.6., or
I.D. of this Form for an offering pursuant to Securities Act Rule 415(a)(1)(x) (§230.415(a)(1)(x) of this chapter) and where
this form is not filed by a well-known seasoned issuer that elects to defer payment of fees as permitted by Rule 456(b), Rule
457(o) permits the calculation of the registration fee to be based on the maximum aggregate offering price of all the newly
registered securities listed in Table 1. In this event, Table 1 must list each of the classes of securities being registered, in tandem with its security type but may omit the proposed maximum aggregate offering price for each class. Following that list,
Table 1 must list the security type “Unallocated (Universal) Shelf” and state the maximum aggregate offering price for all of
the classes of securities on a combined basis.
c. A well-known seasoned issuer registering securities on an automatic shelf registration statement pursuant
to General Instruction I.D. of this Form may, at its option, defer payment of registration fees as permitted by Rule 456(b)
(§230.456(b) of this chapter). If a registrant elects to pay all or any portion of the registration fees on a deferred basis, Table
1 in the initial filing must cite Rule 457(r), as required by Instruction 2.A.ii.c, and identify the classes of securities being
registered, in tandem with their respective security types, and the registrant must state, in response to this instruction, that
it elects to rely on Securities Act Rules 456(b) and 457(r), but Table 1 does not need to specify any other information with
respect to those classes of securities. When the issuer files a post-effective amendment or a prospectus in accordance with
Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) (§230.456(b)(1)(ii) of this chapter) to pay a deferred fee, the amended Table 1 must specify either the dollar amount of securities being registered if paid in advance of or in connection with an offering or offerings or the aggregate
offering price for all classes of securities in the referenced offering or offerings and the applicable registration fee, which
shall be calculated based on the fee payment rate in effect on the date of the fee payment.
iv. Pre-Effective Amendments.
If a pre-effective amendment is filed to concurrently (i) increase the amount of securities of one or more registered classes or
add one or more new classes of securities; and (ii) decrease the amount of securities of one or more registered classes, a registrant that did not rely on Rule 457(o) to calculate the filing fee due for the initial filing or latest pre-effective amendment to
such filing may recalculate the total filing fee due for the registration statement in its entirety and claim an offset pursuant to
Rule 457(b) in the amount of the filing fee previously paid in connection with the registration statement. This recalculation
procedure is not available, however, if a pre-effective amendment is filed only to increase the amount of securities of one or
more registered classes or add one or more new classes. A pre-effective amendment that uses this recalculation procedure
must include the revised offering amounts as securities to be registered for which filing fees have not already been paid in
connection with the initial filing of this form or a pre-effective amendment for purposes of Table 1. If you use this recalculation procedure, separately disclose that you are using it and expressly reference this Instruction 2.A.iv.
B. Carry Forward Securities.
If relying on Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act (§230.415(a)(6) of this chapter) to carry forward to this registration
statement unsold securities from an earlier registration statement, enter “415(a)(6)” in the table and provide, in a separate
row for each registration statement from which securities are to be carried forward, and for each unique combination of security type and title of each class of securities to be carried forward, the following information:
i. The security type of the class of securities to be carried forward;
ii. The title of the class of securities to be carried forward;
iii. The amount of securities being carried forward expressed in terms of the number of securities (under the column
heading “Amount Registered”) and the amount of the maximum aggregate offering price, as specified in the fee table of the
earlier filing, associated with those securities (under the column heading “Maximum Aggregate Offering Price”) or, if the
related filing fee was calculated in reliance on Rule 457(o), the amount of securities carried forward expressed in terms of
the maximum aggregate offering price (under the column heading “Maximum Aggregate Offering Price”);
iv. The form type, file number, and initial effective date of the earlier registration statement from which the securities
are to be carried forward; and
v. The filing fee previously paid in connection with the registration of the securities to be carried forward.
C. Totals.
i. Total Offering Amounts.
14

	
	
	

Provide the sum of the maximum aggregate offering price for both the newly registered and carry forward securities and the
aggregate registration fee for the newly registered securities.
ii. Total Fees Previously Paid.

	

Provide the aggregate of registration fees previously paid for the newly registered securities.

	

iii. Total Fee Offsets.

	

Provide the aggregate of the fee offsets that are claimed in Table 2 pursuant to Instruction 3.

	

iv. Net Fee Due.

	

Provide the difference between (a) the aggregate registration fee for the newly registered securities from the Total Offering
Amounts row; and (b) the sum of (i) the aggregate of registration fees previously paid for the newly registered securities
from the Total Fees Previously Paid row; and (ii) the aggregate fee offsets claimed from the Total Fee Offsets row.

3. Table 2: Fee Offset Claims and Sources.
	

A. Terminology.

		
For purposes of this Instruction 3 and Table 2, the term “submission” means any (i) initial filing of, or amendment
(pre-effective or post-effective), to a fee-bearing document; or (ii) fee-bearing form of prospectus filed under Rule 424
under the Securities Act (§230.424 of this chapter), in all cases that was accompanied by a contemporaneous fee payment.
For purposes of these instructions to Table 2, a contemporaneous fee payment is the payment of a required fee that is satisfied through the actual transfer of funds, and does not include any amount of a required fee satisfied through a claimed fee
offset. Instructions 3.B.ii and 3.C.ii require a filer that claims a fee offset under Rule 457(b) or (p) under the Securities Act
(§230.457(b) or (p) of this chapter) or Rule 0-11(a)(2) under the Exchange Act (§240.0-11(a)(2) of this chapter) to identify
previous submissions with contemporaneous fee payments that are the original source to which the fee offsets claimed on
this filing can be traced. See Instruction 3.D for an example.
	

B. Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2).

	

If relying on Rule 457(b) under the Securities Act (§230.457(b) of this chapter) or Rule 0-11(a)(2) under the Exchange Act
(§240.0-11(a)(2) of this chapter) to offset some or all of the filing fee due on this registration statement by amounts paid in
connection with earlier filings (other than this Form S-3 unless pursuant to Instruction 2.A.iv) relating to the same transaction, provide the following information:

	

		
i. Fee Offset Claims.
	
		
For each earlier filed Securities Act registration statement or Exchange Act document relating to the same transaction from which a fee offset is being claimed, provide the information that Table 2 requires under the heading “Rules 457(b)
and 0-11(a)(2)” for the line item “Fee Offset Claims”. The “Fee Offset Claimed” column requires the dollar amount of the
previously paid filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee.
Note to Instruction 3.B.i.
	
If claiming an offset from a Securities Act registration statement, provide a detailed explanation of the basis for the claimed
offset.
	
		
ii. Fee Offset Sources.
		
With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(b) or Rule 0-11(a)(2), identify those submissions with
contemporaneous fee payments that are the original source to which those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the information that Table 2 requires under the heading “Rules 457(b) and 0-11(a)(2)” for the line item “Fee
Offset Sources”. The “Fee Paid with Fee Offset Source” column requires the dollar amount of the contemporaneous fee payment made with respect to each identified submission that is the source of the fee offset claimed pursuant to Rule 457(b) or
0-11(a)(2).
	
	
C. Rule 457(p).
15

		
If relying on Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act (§230.457(p) of this chapter) to offset some or all of the filing fee
due on this registration statement with the filing fee previously paid for unsold securities under an earlier filed registration
statement, provide the following information:
		

i. Fee Offset Claims.

			
For each such earlier filed registration statement from which the registrant is claiming a filing fee offset,
provide the information Table 2 requires under the heading “Rule 457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Claims”. The “Fee
Offset Claimed” column requires the dollar amount of the previously paid filing fee to be offset against the currently due fee.
Notes to Instruction 3.C.i.
	
	

1. Provide a statement that the registrant has either withdrawn each prior registration statement or has terminated or completed any offering that included the unsold securities under the prior registration statements.
2. If you were not the registrant under the earlier registration statements, entering information under the heading “Rule
457(p)” pursuant to Instruction 3.C.i affirms that you are that registrant’s successor, majority-owned subsidiary, or parent
owning more than 50% of the registrant’s outstanding voting securities eligible to claim a filing fee offset. See the definitions of “successor” and “majority-owned subsidiary” in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (§230.405 of this chapter).

		

ii. Fee Offset Sources.

		
With respect to amounts claimed as an offset under Rule 457(p), identify those submissions with contemporaneous
fee payments that are the original source to which those amounts can be traced. For each submission identified, provide the
information Table 2 requires under the heading “Rule 457(p)” for the line item “Fee Offset Sources”. The “Fee Paid with
Fee Offset Source” column requires the dollar amount of the contemporaneous fee payment made with respect to each identified submission that is the source of the fee offset claimed pursuant to Rule 457(p).
	

D. Fee Offset Source Submission Identification Example.

	
A filer:
		
• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 on 1/15/20X1 (assigned file number 333-123456) with a fee
payment of $10,000;
		
• Files pre-effective amendment number 1 to the Form S-1 (333-123456) on 2/15/20X1 with a fee payment of
$15,000 and the registration statement goes effective on 2/20/20X1;
		
• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 on 1/15/20X4 (assigned file number 333-123467) with a fee
payment of $25,000 and relies on Rule 457(p) to claim an offset of $10,000 related to the unsold securities registered on the
previously filed Form S-1 (333-123456) and apply it to the $35,000 filing fee due and the registration statement goes effective on 2/15/20X4.
		
• Initially files a registration statement on Form S-1 (assigned file number 333-123478) on 1/15/20X7 with a fee
payment of $15,000 and relies on Rule 457(p) to claim an offset of $30,000 related to the unsold securities registered on the
most recently effective Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 and apply it to the $45,000 filing fee due.
	

For the registration statement on Form S-1 with file number 333-123478 filed on 1/15/20X7, the filer can satisfy the submission identification requirement when it claims the $30,000 fee offset from the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4
by referencing any combination of the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4, the pre-effective amendment to the Form
S-1 (333-123456) filed on 2/15/20X1 or the initial filing of the Form S-1 (333-123456) on 1/15/20X1 in relation to which
contemporaneous fee payments were made equal to $30,000. One example could be:

		
• the Form S-1 (333-123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 in relation to the payment of $25,000 made with that submission;
and
		
• the pre-effective amendment to the Form S-1 (333-123456) filed on 2/15/20X1 in relation to the payment of $5,000
out of the payment of $15,000 made with that submission (it would not matter if the filer cited to this pre-effective amendment and/or the initial submission of this Form S-1 (333-123456) on 1/15/20X1 as long as singly or together they were cited
as relating to a total of $5,000 in this example).
	
	
In this example, the filer could not satisfy the submission identification requirement solely by citing to the Form S-1 (333123467) filed on 1/15/20X4 because even though the offset claimed and available from that filing was $30,000, the contemporaneous fee payment made with that filing ($25,000) was less than the offset being claimed. As a result, the filer must also
identify a prior submission or submissions with an aggregate of contemporaneous fee payment(s) of $5,000 as the original
source(s) to which the rest of the claimed offset can be traced.
