Offer to Purchase
Are there any conditions to the Offer?
1. We noticed that the offer is subject to a financing condition, but o bserved that other
disclosure within the Offer to Purchase makes clear that the issuer expects to have its line of
credit in place with five business days remaining in the offer. To the extent that the line of
credit is not in place by that t ime, please advise us, with a view toward revised disclosure,
whether the issuer expects to extend the offer period to account for the material change of the
offer transitioning from being unfinanced. See Rule 13e -4(d)(2) and (e)(3).

Number o f Shares; Purchase Price Proration
2. We noticed that the issuer has advised security holders that s hould they make the selection on
the letter of transmittal that wi ll maximize their chances of acceptance, such an election
could result in the tendered shares being purchased at the minimum price. Please revise to
includ e the additio nal language from the letter of transmittal that also makes clear such an
election may have the effect of lower ing the purchase price paid for all shares.
Conditions of the Offer
3. We noticed the language that indicates each of the conditions is consi dered an ongoing right
“that may be asserted at any time prior to the Exp iration Date and from time to time. ” Please
revise to remove the implication that the offer conditions may be asserted following the
expiration date.
4. To the extent that financing for the issuer tender offer has been received, please confirm that
the issuer will affirmatively wa ive the financing conditio n. In addition, please confirm that
the issuer also expects to comply with Rule 13e -4(d)(2) and (e)(3 ) for the material change
that will occur as a result of wai ver of the ma terial condition , or advise.
