In connection with the submission of the Company’s

 · the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in 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 full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 · the Company may 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.
