In the event you are orally notified, you will be contacted either by Christina Melendi of Bingham McCutchen LLP or myself.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”), acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

  •  

the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

  •  

the Company may not assert Staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

We understand that the staff will consider this request as confirmation by the Company of its awareness of its responsibilities under the federal securities laws as they relate to the issuance of the securities covered by the Registration Statement.

Should you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Christina E. Melendi at (212) 705-7814 of Bingham McCutchen LLP, counsel to the Company.
