components, technology, and services you have provided to the referenced countries, and
any agreements, commercial arrangements, or other contracts you have had with the
governments of these countries or entities controlled by these governments.
2. Please discuss the materiality of your contacts with Cuba, Iran, Syria and Sudan described
in response to the foregoing comment and whether those contacts constitute a material
investment risk for your security holders. You should address materiality in quantitative
terms, including the approximate dollar amounts of any associated revenues, assets, and
liabilities for the last three fiscal years and the subsequent interim period . Also, address
materiality in terms of qualitative factors that a reasonable investor would deem important
in making an investment decision, includ ing the potential impact of corporate activities

universities, and other investors have proposed or adopted divestment or similar initiatives
regarding investment in com panies that do business with U.S. -designated state sponsors of
terrorism. Your materiality analysis should address the potential impact of the investor
sentiment evidenced by such actions directed toward companies that have operations
