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 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.
The Company is aware of its responsibilities under
the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement.
Please confirm that the registration statement has been declared effective by telephoning Neil Simon of Jones Day at (404) 581-8592.
