exemption available for the offer and sale of securities of third parties, you must provide information, possibly including financial statement and non -financ ial statement disclosures, about the issuer of the underlying securities in your registration statement. For further guidance, please see our Securities Act Sections C&DI paragraph 203.03 and the Staff’s no -action letter Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated (June 24, 1996). If you wish to include the third party securities, please give us your analysis why registration under the Securities Act is not required. If you do not wish to offer third party securities underlying purchase contracts, please remove t hese references from the prospectus.

We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosure in the filing to be certain that the filing includes the information the Securities Act of 1933 and all applicable Securities Act rules require. Since the company and its management are in possession of all facts relating to a company’s disclosure, they are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures they have made.

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 effecti ve, 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 full r esponsibility 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.

Please refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. We will consider a written request for acceleration of the effective date of the registration statement as confirmation of the fact that those requesting acceleration are aware of thei r respective responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities specified in the above registration statement. Please allow adequate time for us to rev iew any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration statement.
