o the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve Abraxas from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
o Abraxas may not assert staff comments and 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.
Very truly yours,
