THE COMPANY

Our BusinessCompany Overview

We develop sustained-release pharmaceuticalare a specialty biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic products for treatingthe treatment of eye diseases. Our products deliver drugs at a controlled and steady rate for months or years. We have developed three of only four sustained-release productslead product, DEXYCU™ (dexamethasone intraocular suspension) 9%, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, (“FDA”)or FDA, in February 2018, is administered as a single dose at the end of ocular surgery and is the first long-acting intraocular product approved by the FDA for the treatment of back-of-the-eye diseases.post-operative inflammation. DEXYCU utilizes our proprietary Verisome® drug-delivery platform, which allows for a single intraocular injection that releases over time. There are over four million cataract surgeries performed annually in the U.S., and we plan to launch DEXYCU in the U.S. in the first half of 2019 with a primary focus on its use following cataract surgery. Our lead product candidate Medidur™ is in pivotal Phase III clinical trials, and our lead licensed product ILUVIEN® is sold inYUTIQ™ for the United States and three European Union (“EU”) countries. Our pre-clinical development program is focused primarily on developing products for chronic ophthalmic diseases utilizing our two core technology platforms. Our strategy includes developing products independently, while continuing to leverage our technology platforms through collaborations and license agreements.

Medidur is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert designed to treat chronictreatmentof non-infectious uveitis affecting the posterior segment of the eye, (“posterior uveitis”)or three-year uveitis. Injected into the eye in an office visit, YUTIQ is a tiny micro-insert that delivers a micro-dose of a corticosteroid to the back of the eye on a sustained constant (zero order release) basis for approximately three yearsyears. On March 19, 2018, the FDA accepted our New Drug Application for YUTIQ and set an FDA Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date of November 5, 2018. YUTIQ is based on our proprietary Durasert™ sustained-release drug delivery technology platform, which can deliver drugs for predetermined periods of time ranging from a single administration. Medidur, whichmonths to years. Posterior segment uveitis is the same micro-insert as ILUVIEN, isthird leading cause of blindness in two Phase III clinical trials. We planthe U.S. and affects between 55,000 to file a new drug application (“NDA”)120,000 people in the U.S. If approved in November 2018, we expect to launch YUTIQ in the U.S. in the first half of 2017 based on six-month efficacy data from both trials2019.

For more information about our company, please refer to other documents that we have filed with the SEC and data fromthat are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as listed under the heading “Incorporation by Reference.”

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to a short-duration utilization studynumber of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. These risks are discussed more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus immediately following this prospectus summary and in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our redesigned proprietary inserter, togetherAnnual Report on Form10-K filed with data referenced from the Phase III trialsSEC on September 13, 2017 and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of ILUVIEN. our Quarterly Report on Form10-Q filed with the SEC on May 10, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. These risks include the following:

We are developing Medidur independently.

ILUVIEN,have incurred significant losses since our most recentlyinception, which we anticipate will continue for the foreseeable future. As of March 31, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $329.6 million.

We may never achieve profitability.

Our current business strategy relies heavily on our ability to successfully commercialize DEXYCU and, if approved, product, is an injectable, sustained-release micro-insert that provides treatment of diabetic macular edema (“DME”) for up to three years from a single administration. ILUVIEN is licensed to and sold by Alimera Sciences, Inc. (“Alimera”), and we are entitled to a share of the net profits (as defined) from Alimera’s sales of ILUVIEN on a quarter-by-quarter, country-by-country basis. ILUVIEN was launched in late February 2015YUTIQ, in the United States where it is indicatedand we may not be able to successfully commercialize DEXYCU and, if approved, YUTIQ.

We may not be able to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of YUTIQ for the treatment of DMEthree-year uveitis.

The market opportunities for DEXYCU and our product candidates may be smaller than we believe.

Clinical product development involves uncertain outcomes, and results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future trial results.

If our product candidates fail to demonstrate quality, safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities, we may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

We will need to obtain additional funding for commercialization. Failure to obtain additional funding when needed, and on satisfactory terms, may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

We currently have limited sales and marketing capabilities and we may not be successful in commercializing DEXYCU and our product candidates.

We have relied and expect to rely on third parties to conduct aspects of our research and development and clinical trials. If they terminate our arrangements, fail to meet deadlines or perform in an unsatisfactory manner, our business could be harmed.

The potential commercial success of DEXYCU, YUTIQ, if approved, and any current or future product candidate will depend upon the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, previously treated with a course of corticosteroids without a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure.

ILUVIEN was also launched in Portugal in January 2015third-party payors and has been commercially availableothers in the United Kingdom and Germany since June 2013. ILUVIEN has marketing approvals in 17 EU countries for the treatment of chronic DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies.medical community.

We are entitled to 20% of any royalties and 33% of all other payments received by Alimera pursuant to the sublicense agreements, including any milestone payments.

Our FDA-approved Retisert® provides sustained release treatment of posterior uveitis for approximately two and a half years. It is licensed to Bausch & Lomb, and we receive royalties from its sales.

Our pre-clinical development program is focused on developing products using our Durasert™ and Tethadur™ technology platforms to deliver drugs and biologics to treat wet and dry age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, osteoarthritis and other diseases.

Description of Equity Financing

On March 28, 2018, we entered into (i) a Securities Purchase Agreement, or the First Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement, with EW Healthcare Partners, L.P. and EWHealthcare Partners-A, L.P., or the First Tranche Investors, pursuant to which we offered and sold to such investors an aggregate of 8,606,324 shares of our common stock, or the First Tranche Transaction, and (ii) a Second Securities Purchase Agreement, or the Second Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement, with the First Tranche Investors and certain other accredited investors signatory thereto, or the Second Tranche Investors, pursuant to which we agreed to offer and sell, subject to the approval of our stockholders, an aggregate of up to approximately $25.5 million of units, which we refer to individually each as an Unit and collectively as the Units, with each Unit consisting of (a) one share of our common stock and (b) one warrant to purchase a share of our common stock. We refer to the issuance of the Units pursuant to the Second Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement as the Second Tranche Transaction. Our stockholders approved the sale and issuance of the Units on June 22, 2018 and we sold 20,184,224 Units to the Second Tranche Investors upon the closing of the Second Tranche Transaction on June 25, 2018.

The shares of our common stock sold to the First Tranche Investors pursuant to the First Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement were sold at a purchase price of $1.10 per share, which was the consolidated closing bid price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market immediately preceding the execution of the First Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement. Each Unit sold upon the closing of the Second Tranche Transaction was sold at a purchase price of $1.265 per Unit.

Each of the warrants issued in the Second Tranche Transaction, which we refer to individually as a Second Tranche Warrant and collectively as the Second Tranche Warrants, are exercisable any time until on or prior to the close of business on the 15thbusiness day following the date on which the holders of the Second Tranche Warrants receive written notice from us that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has announced that anew C-Code has been established for DEXYCU and will be effective at the start of the first calendar quarter after such notice. The exercise price of each Second Tranche Warrant issued in the Second Tranche Transaction is an amount equal to the lower of (a) $1.43 and (b) a 20% discount to the volume weighted average price of the shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the 20 trading days immediately prior to the exercise of a Second Tranche Warrant; provided, however, that the exercise price cannot be lower than $0.88.

The Second Tranche Warrants are subject to customary pro rata anti-dilution provisions in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations or similar events affecting our common stock. In the event of our acquisition or certain other fundamental corporate changes, as set forth in the Second Tranche Warrants, the holders can elect to exercise their Second Tranche Warrants or to receive an amount of cash under a Black-Scholes calculation of the value of such Second Tranche Warrants (as set forth in the Second Tranche Warrants). We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Second Tranche Warrants if the holders do not exercise the Second Tranche Warrants.

In connection with the First Tranche Transaction, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the First Tranche Investors, or the First Tranche Registration Rights Agreement, effective as of the closing of the First Tranche Transaction. Pursuant to the First Tranche Registration Rights Agreement, the First Tranche Investors may require us to register their shares of common stock for resale on a registration statement filed with the SEC and such investors have the right to “piggyback” on certain of our registrations. The registration rights will terminate with respect to each First Tranche Investor on the date on which such investor ceases to beneficially own shares of common stock or can sell all of its registrable shares without limitation pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

In connection with the closing of the Second Tranche Transaction, we entered into that certain Second Registration Rights Agreement with the Second Tranche Investors, or the Second Tranche Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Second Tranche Registration Rights Agreement, we are required, within 30 days of the closing of the Second Tranche Transaction, to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC registering for resale the securities issued to the Second Tranche Investors in the Second Tranche Transaction and any securities issued pursuant to the First Tranche Securities Purchase Agreement that have not already been registered.

This prospectus is being filed pursuant to the registration rights granted pursuant to the Second Tranche Registration Rights Agreement.

Preferred Stock

We currently have authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which no shares have been designated.

We will issuenot receive any proceeds from the debt securities offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement under an indenture to be entered into between us and the trustee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The termssale of the debt securities will include those stated inshares by the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effectselling stockholders.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the date of the indenture. We have filed a copy of the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement in which this prospectus is included. The indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

We may offer under this prospectus up to an aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 in debt securities, or if debt securities are issued at a discount, or in a foreign currency, foreign currency units or composite currency, the principal amount as may be sold for an initial public offering price of up to $75,000,000. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will represent direct, unsecured obligations of pSivida Corp. and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.

The following statements relating to the debt securities and the indenture are summaries, qualified in their entirety to the detailed provisions of the indenture.

General

We may issue the debt securities in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium, or at a discount. We will describe the particular terms of each series of debt securities in a prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC.

The prospectus supplement will set forth, to the extent required, the following terms of the debt securities in respect of which the prospectus supplement is delivered:

the title of the series;

the aggregate principal amount;

the issue price or prices, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

any limit on the aggregate principal amount;

the date or dates from which interest, if any, will be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable;

the place or places where principal and, if applicable, premium and interest, is payable;

the terms and conditions upon which we may, or the holders may require us to, redeem or repurchase the debt securities;

We may issue discount debt securities that provide for an amount less than the stated principal amount to be due and payable upon acceleration of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of the indenture. We may also issue debt securities in bearer form, with or without coupons. If we issue discount debt securities or debt securities in bearer form, we will describe material U.S. federal income tax considerations and other material special considerations that apply to these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may issue debt securities denominated in or payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units. If we do, we will describe the restrictions, elections, and general tax considerations relating to the debt securities and the foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Exchange and/or Conversion Rights

We may issue debt securities which can be exchanged for or converted into shares of common stock or preferred stock. If we do, we will describe the terms of exchange or conversion in the prospectus supplement relating to these debt securities.

Transfer and Exchange

We may issue debt securities that will be represented by either:

“book-entry securities,” which means that there will be one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or

“certificated securities,” which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive registered form.

We will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry or certificated securities.

Certificated Debt Securities

If you hold certificated debt securities, you may transfer or exchange such debt securities at the trustee’s office or at the paying agent’s office or agency in accordance with the terms of the indenture. You will not be charged a service charge for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but you may be required to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or exchange.

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and of the right to receive the principal of, and any premium and/or interest on, the certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing the certificated debt securities and having us or the trustee issue a new certificate to the new holder.

Nasdaq Global Securities

If we decide to issue debt securities in the form of one or more global securities, then we will register the global securities in the name of the depositary for the global securities or the nominee of the depositary, and the global securities will be delivered by the trustee to the depositary for credit to the accounts of the holders of beneficial interests in the debt securities.

The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement for debt securities of a series that are issued in global form. None of our company, the trustee, any payment agent or the security registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.

No Protection in the Event of Change of Control

The indenture does not have any covenants or other provisions providing for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of pSivida Corp. or a highly leveraged transaction. If we offer any covenants or provisions of this type with respect to any debt securities covered by this prospectus, we will describe them in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Covenants

Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not have the benefit of any covenants that limit or restrict our business or operations, the pledging of our assets or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

We have agreed in the indenture that we will not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer, sell or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, unless:

the person formed by the consolidation or into or with which we are merged, or the person to which our properties and assets are conveyed, transferred, sold or leased, is a corporation organized and existingMarket under the laws of the United States, any state or the District of Columbia or a corporation or comparable legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and, if we are not the surviving person, the surviving person has expressly assumed all of our obligations, including the payment of the principal of, and any premium and/or interest on, the debt securities and the performance of the other covenants under the indenture; and

immediately before and immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an event of default, has occurred and is continuing under the indenture.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following events will be events of default under the indenture with respect to debt securities of any series:

we fail to pay any principal or premium, if any, when it becomes due;

we fail to pay any interest within 30 days after it becomes due;

we fail to comply with any other covenant in the debt securities or the indenture for 60 days after written notice specifying the failure from the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series; and

certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of pSivida Corp. or any of our significant subsidiaries.

The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the debt securities of any series of any default, except in payment of principal of or any premium or interest on the debt securities of a series, if the trustee considers it to be in the best interest of the holders of the debt securities of that series to do so. If an event of default (other than an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs, and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may accelerate the maturity of the debt securities. If this happens, the entire principal amount, plus the premium, if any, of all the outstanding debt securities of the affected series plus accrued interest to the date of acceleration will be immediately due and payable. At any time after the acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may rescind and annul such acceleration if:

all events of default (other than nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest) have been cured or waived;

all lawful interest on overdue interest and overdue principal has been paid; and

the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree.

In addition, if the acceleration occurs at any time when we have outstanding indebtedness that is senior to the debt securities, the payment of the principal amount of outstanding debt securities may be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of any amounts due under the senior indebtedness, in which case the holders of debt securities will be entitled to payment under the terms prescribed in the instruments evidencing the senior indebtedness and the indenture. If an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occurs, the principal, premium and interest amount with respect to all of the debt securities of any series will be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or the holders of the debt securities of that series. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series will have the right to waive any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities of that series and to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain limitations specified in the indenture. No holder of any debt security of a series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series make a written request and offer reasonable indemnity to the trustee to institute a proceeding as trustee;

the trustee fails to institute a proceeding within 60 days after such request; and

the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period.

These limitations do not, however, apply to a suit instituted for payment on debt securities of any series on or after the due dates expressed in the debt securities.

Modification and Waiver

From time to time, we and the trustee may, without the consent of holders of the debt securities of one or more series, amend the indenture or the debt securities of one or more series, or supplement the indenture, for certain specified purposes, including:

to provide that the surviving entity following a change of control of pSivida Corp. permitted under the indenture will assume all of our obligations under the indenture and debt securities;

to provide for certificated debt securities in addition to uncertificated debt securities;

to comply with any requirements of the SEC under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939;

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any holder; and

to appoint a successor trustee under the indenture with respect to one or more series.

From time to time we and the trustee may, with the consent of holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding series of debt securities, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of such series, or waive compliance in a particular instance by us with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities. We may not, however, without the consent of each holder affected by such action, modify or supplement the indenture or the debt securities or waive compliance with any provision of the indenture or the debt securities in order to:

reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver to or under the indenture or such debt security;

reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest;

reduce the principal of or change the stated maturity of the debt securities;

make any debt security payable in a currency other than that stated in the debt security;

change the amount or time of any payment required or reduce the premium payable upon any redemption, or change the time before which no such redemption may be made;

waive a default in the payment of the principal of, or any premium or interest on, the debt securities or a redemption payment;

waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt securities or change any provision with respect to redemption of debt securities; or

take any other action otherwise prohibited by the indenture to be taken without the consent of each holder affected by the action.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

The indenture permits us, at any time, to elect to discharge our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities by following certain procedures described in the indenture. These procedures will allow us either:

to defease and be discharged from any and all of our obligations with respect to any debt securities except for the following obligations (which discharge is referred to as “legal defeasance”):

(1)to register the transfer or exchange of such debt securities;

(2)to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities;

(3)to compensate and indemnify the trustee; or

(4)to maintain an office or agency in respect of the debt securities and to hold monies for payment in trust; or

to be released from our obligations with respect to the debt securities under certain covenants contained in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants that may be contained in the applicable supplemental indenture (which release is referred to as “covenant defeasance”).

In order to exercise either defeasance option, we must deposit with the trustee or other qualifying trustee, in trust for that purpose:

money;

U.S. Government Obligations (as described below) or Foreign Government Obligations (as described below) that through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money; or

a combination of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Obligations sufficient in the written opinion of a nationally-recognized firm of independent accountants to provide money;

that in each case specified above, provides a sufficient amount to pay the principal of, and any premium and/or interest on, the debt securities of the series, on the scheduled due dates or on a selected date of redemption in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

In addition, defeasance may be effected only if, among other things:

in the case of either legal or covenant defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel, as specified in the indenture, stating that as a result of the defeasance neither the trust nor the trustee will be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

in the case of legal defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling to the effect that, or there has been a change in any applicable federal income tax law with the effect that (and the opinion shall confirm that), the holders of outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes solely as a result of such legal defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, including as a result of prepayment, and at the same times as would have been the case if legal defeasance had not occurred;

in the case of covenant defeasance, we deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the outstanding debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

certain other conditions described in the indenture are satisfied.

If we fail to comply with our remaining obligations under the indenture and applicable supplemental indenture after a covenant defeasance of the indenture and applicable supplemental indenture, and the debt securities are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any undefeased event of default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations and/or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee could be insufficient to pay amounts due under the debt securities of the affected series at the time of acceleration. We will, however, remain liable in respect of these payments. The term “U.S. Government Obligations” as used in the above discussion means securities that are direct obligations of or non-callable obligations guaranteed by the United States of America for the payment of which obligation or guarantee the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged. The term “Foreign Government Obligations” as usedsymbol “EYPT.”    

in the above discussion means, with respect to debt securities of any series that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, (1) direct obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency for the payment of which obligations its full faith and credit is pledged or (2) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by or acting as an agent or instrumentality of such government, the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by that government, which in either case under clauses (1) or (2) are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer.

Regarding the Trustee

We will identify the trustee with respect to any series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. You should note that if the trustee becomes a creditor of pSivida Corp., the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limit the rights of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates may engage in, and will be permitted to continue to engage in, other transactions with us and our affiliates. If, however, the trustee acquires any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee, in the exercise of its rights and powers, must use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to that provision, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of the debt securities, unless they have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity or security.

Warrants

We may issue warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities, in one or more series, together with other securities, or separately, as described in each applicable prospectus supplement. We will issue warrants under warrant agreements to be entered into either between us and the warrant holders directly or between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. Below is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer. Particular terms of the warrants will be described in the applicable warrant agreements and the applicable prospectus supplement for the warrants.

whether the warrants will be issued in fully registered form or bearer form, in definitive or global form or in any combination of these forms, although, in any case, the form of a warrant included in a unit will correspond to the form of the unit and of any security included in that unit;

any applicable material U.S. federal income tax consequences;

the identity of the warrant agent for the warrants and of any other depositaries, execution or paying agents, transfer agents, registrars or other agents;

the proposed listing, if any, of the warrants or any securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants on any securities exchange;

if applicable, the date from and after which the warrants and the common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities will be separately transferable;

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the principal amount or number of securities at the exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or be determinable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

We will describe the procedures for exercising warrants in a prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the securities purchasable upon that exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by a particular warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

Units

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities described in this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the units offered thereby, including the following:

the title of the series of units;
