Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) on April 26, 2016 and response materials submitted via facsimile on May 13, 2016. On May 17, 2016,

Background, Mechanics and Reasons for the Consummation of
the BRHC Transaction

General

 2. We have considered your proposed disclosure in this section in response to prior comment 2. We note, in particular, your
discussion of various meetings between the consenting shareholders, certain members of your board and Chambers pertaining to the
BRHC Transaction, as well as “regular” advisement of certain stockholders as to the ongoing nature of negotiations.
We also note that the company prepared and disseminated various summations of the putative terms of the BRHC Transaction to certain
consenting stockholders contemporaneous with the ongoing negotiations. In light of the foregoing, please confirm that the
Schedule 14C contains fully comprehensive disclosures pertaining to the BRHC Transaction, including your discussion of various
iterations of the transaction documents, materials provided to consenting shareholders and interactions between the consenting
shareholders, Chambers and the company in connection therewith. Alternatively, advise as to why you believe any such information
explicitly omitted or not otherwise presented in the information statement is not material to the non-consenting shareholders.

Response

We confirm that the Schedule 14C contains fully comprehensive
disclosures pertaining to the BRHC Transaction, including our discussion of various iterations of the transaction documents, materials
provided to consenting shareholders and interactions between the consenting shareholders, Chambers and the company. Specifically,
the disclosure contained in the Schedule 14C at page 18 identifies the key items that were negotiated as part of the term sheet
discussions with Chambers. These terms were reflected in the draft documents that were provided by Chambers and the summary provided
to consenting stockholders. The iterations of the transaction documents were limited to the open points on the management agreement
which is identified in the Schedule 14C at pages 2 and 19. In addition, as described in the Schedule 14C at pages 2 and 19, the
only materials provided to consenting shareholders consisted of summary of the terms of the transaction, which are also included
in the Schedule 14C. The Schedule 14C also describes interactions between the consenting shareholders, Chambers and the company
which consisted of regular updates centered around the timing of the transaction and when the formal written consent would be needed
as the key terms of the BRHC Transaction did not change from the original term sheet discussions with Chambers. Furthermore, we
believe any additional details of discussions with Chambers or interactions between the consenting shareholders, Chambers and the
company would not be material to the non-consenting shareholders as the terms of the BRHC Transaction are fully disclosed along
with the background of the Company’s financial situation and negotiations with Chambers.
