Pursuant to Rule 461 of Regulation C of the General Rules and Regulations under

connection therewith, the Company hereby confirms that it is aware of its
responsibilities under the Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), as they relate to the public offering of the

A similar request with respect to the acceleration of the effectiveness of the

The Company acknowledges that its disclosures in the Registration Statement are
the responsibility of the Company. The Company represents to the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") that should the Commission or its staff,
acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does
not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing
and the Company represents that it will not assert this action as a defense in
any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States. The Company further acknowledges that the
action of the Commission or its 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 disclosures in the filing.
