5. It appears that you have provided the narrative disclosure set forth in Note 1 to Rule 3 - 10(f) of Regulation S -X in exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the Form 8 -K filed on November 12, 2013. Please tell us whether each of your subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned by you, with a view to clarifying your eligibility to rely on Rule 3 -10(f) of Regulation S -X.

In light of the above, please provide us with your analysis as to how the guarantees constitute “full and unconditional” guara ntees, with a view to understanding how the guarantees satisfy the requirements of Rule 3 -10 of Regulation S -X. In your analysis, please focus on Section 10.09(2) of the Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Form 8 -K filed on May 15, 2013.

7. We note that in the first paragraph of this page, counsel qualifies its opinion by referencing Senior Transeastern Lenders v. Official Comm. of Unsecured Creditors, stating that “the validity and enforcement of the Guarantors’ obligations under the Guarantees may be subject to the holding in that case.” Please provide us with an analysis as to why counsel believes that this qualification is necessary and appropriate and why counsel does not believe that the qualifi cation detracts from counsel’s binding obligation opinion. Please refer to Section II.B.3.a of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19, available on our website.

8. Investors should not be required to look beyond the disclosure in the prospectus or the documents filed with or incorporated by reference to the prospectus to gain essential information. To the extent that counsel continues to believe that the above qualification is appropriate, please ask counsel to include in the opinion a description of the case referenc ed in counsel’s opinion and the possible impact of the holding in that case on counsel’s binding obligation opinion, or include such disclosure in the prospectus, and include in the legal opinion a cross -reference to such discussion. We may have further comment after reviewing your response.

Notwithstanding our comments, in the event you request acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration statement please provide a written statement from the company acknowledging that:

 should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing eff ective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its fu ll responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
