The Company hereby acknowledges that:

· should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the Registration Statement;

· 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.

The Company further acknowledges its full awareness of responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as they related to the proposed offering of the securities specified in the Registration Statement.
