Comment and Response
 
General
 
1.
We note your revision in response to comment one of our previous letter. On page 65 you state that contractual arrangements would result in you assuming “all” the benefits and risks of the target business. Later on that same page you state that contractual arrangements would be designed to provide you with a “substantial portion” of economic benefits and risks of the target company. Please reconcile or revise these statements.
 
The disclosures on page 66 of the Registration Statement have been revised to clarify that the Company would acquire substantially all the benefits and risks of the portion of the target business that the Company acquired (which would be no less than a controlling interest).

2.
We note your responses to prior comments 12 and 13 of our letter dated December 11, 2007. Please revise your disclosure in Note 3 to eliminate the last sentence of the fourth paragraph on page F-10, since this disclosure appears to be inconsistent with your response. In addition, please revise your disclosures regarding the valuation of the UPO on page 59 to be consistent with your supplemental response and revised disclosures in Note 3.
 
The disclosures on pages F-10 and 60 of the Registration Statement have been revised in accordance with the Staff’s comments.
 
Your prompt attention to this filing would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions concerning any of the foregoing please contact me by telephone at (212) 407-4159.
 
    Sincerely,
