We urge all persons who are responsible for th e accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure
in the filing to be certain that the filing incl udes the information the Securities Act of 1933 and
all applicable Securities Act rules require. Since the company and its management are in

Notwithstanding our comments, in the event you request acceleration of the effective date
of the pending registration statement please pr ovide a written statement from the company

filing effective, it does not foreclose the Co mmission 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.
Please refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding re quests for acceleration. We will consider a
written request for acceleration of the effective date of the regi stration statement as confirmation
of the fact that those reques ting acceleration are aware of thei r respective responsibilities under
