The Company hereby further requests, pursuant to Rule 12d1-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that the Form 8-A, to be filed concurrently with the submission of this letter, be declared effective simultaneously with the Registration Statement.
In connection with this request for acceleration, I hereby acknowledge the following on behalf of the Company:

•The Company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Upon grant of our request to accelerate effectiveness, we would appreciate your communicating to the Company's counsel, Chet Fenimore, via telephone at (512) 499-3818, confirmation of the exact time at which the Registration Statement was declared effective.
