3.    COMMENT:
 
We note your disclosure next to the subheading "Differences in Conversion Terms of Notes, A Notes and B Notes," that the conversion rate is one share of common stock for each $1.3325 Principal Am-oust of Notes surrendered, one share of common stock for each $.90 New Principal Amount of A Notes surrendered and one share of common stock for each $.98 New Principal Amount of B Notes surrendered: We also note that the original purchase price of the Notes was offered at an 80% discount, but that the A Notes and the B Notes will not reflect this discount. To provide investors with a meaningful comparison of the effective conversion rates, please disclose the conversion rates of the Notes, the A Notes and the B Notes per dollar invested, taking into account the original issue discount. Based on our calculations, it appears that for each dollar invested, the conversion rate for the Notes would be one share of common stock for each $1,066, we the conversion rates for the A Notes and B Notes would remain at $0.90 and $0.98, respectively. Please revise your disclosure accordingly, here and in all other applicable places in the prospectus. Please also disclose in this-section the trading price of your common stock as of a recent date.

We note your response to prior comment 21 of our letter dated January 23, 2006.

Potential Benefits of the Exchange Offer, page 63
 
9.    COMMENT:
 
We note your disclosure that "The exercise of the A Warrants, if any, may provide us with greater capital at an earlier time than under the terms of the Warrants" (emphasis added). Given that the exercise price of the A Warrants is less than the exercise price of the Warrants, it is unclear how you will receive "greater" capital upon exercise. Please revise or advise.
 
RESPONSE:
 
The word “greater” has been deleted. See “THE EXCHANGE OFFER - Purposes of the Exchange Offer; Certain Effects of the Exchange Offer” (page 39).

We also note your statement that "except as required by applicable law, [you] shall have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any… public announcement [relating to any such amendment] other than by making a release through PRnewswire or another comparable service."

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations, page 72
 
11.   COMMENT:
 
We note that the first paragraph of this section discloses that the following "general discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the Exchange Offer…" Please revise to disclose that your disclosure includes a description of all material federal income tax consequences of this transaction, as well as other federal income tax considerations.

Tax Consequences of the Exchange Offer, Page 74
 
12.   COMMENT:
 
Please refer to prior comment 26 from our letter dated January 23, 2006. We note the disclosure added in the second paragraph of this section setting forth the three opinions provided by tax counsel in response to our prior comment. However, it does not appear that a description of the first two opinions, tax counsel's basis for such opinions, or the importance to investors of such opinions is described in this section. Moreover, we were unable to locate the section of exhibit 8.1 where tax counsel opines that the amount of gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes on the exchange will be the difference between the stated principal amount of the New Notes and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in the Old Notes surrendered in the exchange. In this regard, we note that the first sentence in Section C of exhibit 8.1 does not appear to be the opinion of counsel as to your proposed transaction.
 
RESPONSE:
 
We have made appropriate changes to address these comments. See “CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS” (page 49) and revised Exhibit 8.1.
 
13.   COMMENT:
 
Additionally, we note your response that tax counsel is unable to render a tax opinion on the tax consequences of the exchange of the old warrants for new warrants. Please move the last paragraph under the subheading "Exchange of Old Warrant[s] for New Warrants" to the front of that subsection and expand your disclosure in the prospectus to provide the reasons why such opinion cannot be rendered. If the risk of an adverse tax consequences to holders from the exchange of old warrants for new warrants is a material, please revise your risk factor disclosure accordingly.
 
RESPONSE:
 
We have made appropriate changes to address these comments. See “CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS” (page 51, 53). Additionally, we have added a risk factor regarding the uncertainty of the tax consequences of the exchange of the old warrants for new warrants. See “RISK FACTORS” (page 20-21).

Item 28, Undertakings
 
14.   COMMENT:

For example, please revise to include the second sentence of Item 512(a)(1)(ii). In addition, Rule 415 and the associated undertaking of Item 512(g) of Regulation S-B were recently amended. Please provide the appropriate undertaking set forth in Item 512(g)(1) or (g)(2) of Regulation S-B, as applicable.
