4.Please be advised that your registration statement will automatically become effective 60
days after the initial filing date. Upon effectiveness, you will become subject to the

5.We note that your forum selection provision identifies the Court of Chancery of the State

Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange
Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or
liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. If this
provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act,
please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents states
this clearly.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
