It is the Company’s understanding that, in accordance with Rule 477(b) under the Securities Act, this application for withdrawal of the Registration Statement will be deemed granted at the time the Company’s application for withdrawal is filed with the Commission unless, within 15 calendar days after such application is filed, the Commission notifies the Company that the application for withdrawal will not be granted.
