Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4

General

1.     

We note your response to comment 2 in our letter dated February 12, 2010. We also note, however, that the section of the prospectus on page 2 in which you incorporate certain information into the prospectus by reference does not include a statement that all filings filed by the company pursuant to the Exchange Act after the date of the initial registration statement and prior to effectiveness of the registration statement shall be deemed to be incorporated by references into the prospectus. As a result, your Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 will not be incorporated by reference into the prospectus at the time of effectiveness of the registration statement as required by Item 11 of Form S-4. Please revise accordingly. Please also refer to Securities Act Forms Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 123.05.

Response

     Amendment No. 1 has been revised to specifically incorporate by reference the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) and all other reports filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, since the end of the fiscal year to which the Annual Report relates.

Exhibit 5.2

2.     

We note your response to comment 10 in our letter dated February 2, 2010 and we reissue that comment in full. Please revise the opinion to remove the inappropriate assumptions.

 

Response

     Exhibit 5.2 has been revised in accordance with this comment.
