  •  

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filings;

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

If you have any questions regarding the responses to the comments of the Staff or require additional information from the Company, please contact the undersigned at (408) 57-3056.
