Please identify all selling shareholders who are registered broker-dealers or who are affiliates of registered broker-dealers. Please note that a registration statement registering the resale of shares being offered by broker-dealers must identify the broker-dealers as underwriters if the shares were not issued as underwriting compensation. Please revise your disclosure accordingly.

·

the seller purchased the securities to be resold in the ordinary course of business; and


·

at the time of the purchase, the seller had no agreements or understandings directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.


Alternatively, please disclose that the stockholder is an underwriter. We may have additional comments upon review of your response.

In filing the Amendment, the Company acknowledges that:

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.
