Notwithstanding our comments, in the event you request acceleration of the effective date
of the pending registration statement please pr ovide a written statement from the company

filing effective, it does not foreclose the Co mmission from taking any action with respect

declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for
the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
• the company may not assert staff comments a nd 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.
