RE:
Dear Mr. Windsor:
I am writing to respond to your letter dated June 9, 2008. My numbered responses correspond to the numbered items in your letter.
1.
In future filings, we will identify all members of the peer groups used in the process to consider executive officer compensation.
2.
We included the annual report to security holders in the exhibit list included in Form 10-K as Exhibit 10.23. The exhibit was incorrectly numbered.
3.
We do not consider the language from our investor relations website quoted in paragraph 3 of your letter as limiting or releasing any of the company’s responsibilities under the federal securities laws. We have added the following sentence to the “NO LIABILITY” paragraph:
THE AGREEMENT CREATED IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT OR RELEASE LIABILITY INDEPENDENTLY EXISTING UNDER THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.
