underlying securities have been registered in the registration statement. However this is not reflected in the registration statement fee tabl e or elsewhere in the prospectus. In addition,

company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made. Notwithstanding our comments, in the even t 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 pursua nt 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 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.
