Dear Ms. Ravitz:
     In connection with your review of the above-referenced filing, we are writing on behalf of the Company in response to the comment in your letter dated September 21, 2009. For convenience, we have reprinted the Staff’s comment below in bold, with the corresponding response set forth immediately below the comment.
Selling Stockholders, page 4
1.   Please disclose whether any of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker dealers.
     The Company has added a sentence to the end of footnote (1) on page 4, which provides that “Each of the GSO Funds is affiliated with a registered broker-dealer.” A similar sentence has also been added to footnote (2) on page 5, which explains that CML VII, LLC has entered into a voting agreement with the GSO Funds and GSO Capital Partners LP, each of which is an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.
     Also on page 5, the Company has added a paragraph stating that each selling stockholder affiliated with a broker-dealer:
    acquired the common stock in the ordinary course of business; and
 
    at the time of the acquisition of the securities to be resold, the selling stockholder had no agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
A similar statement has been added as a new paragraph at the end of the “Plan of Distribution” section on page 11.
