The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiary registrants, acknowledges that none of the comments of the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), changes made to the proposed disclosure in the Registration Statement, the Staff’s determination that there are no further comments on the Registration Statement, or the action of the Commission or the Staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement effective:
