Exhibit Index, page II-7

 

1.We note that your warrant agreement identifies either the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the exclusive forum for any action or proceeding related to the agreement. Please describe this provision in your prospectus and disclose whether it applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If so, please also state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the warrant agreement states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

 

Response: Section 9.3 of the Warrant Agreement has been revised to provide that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.
