Dear Mr. Tomz:

We have limited our review of your registration statement to resolution of your pending confidential treatment request and the comments addressed herein.

Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.

The purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.

Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter.

1. We note that not all of the selling security holders are currently identified.

Please note new selling security holders that are unable to trace their securities to a selling security holder identified in the table at the time of effectiveness must be identified by post-effective amendment. 2. We note that some of the selling security holders may be broker- dealers. If any of the selling security holders are broker- dealers revise to identify them as underwriters. The only exception to this position is if these entities obtained these securities as compensation for underwriting services. 3. If any of the selling security holders are affiliates of broker- dealers, they should be so identified. In addition, please revise your disclosure to include the following representations:

* The selling security holder purchased in the ordinary course of business; and * At the time of the purchase, the selling security holder had no agreements or understanding to distribute the securities.

Please understand that we may have additional comments after reviewing your amendment and responses to our comments.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filings reviewed by the staff to be certain that they have provided all information investors require for an informed decision. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

Notwithstanding our comments, in the event the company requests acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration statement, it should furnish a letter, at the time of such request, acknowledging that:

* should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; * the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in 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 this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, please be advised that the Division of Enforcement has access to all information you provide to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance in connection with our review of your filing or in response to our comments on your filing.

We will act on the request and, pursuant to delegated authority, grant acceleration of the effective date.
