Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits
brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations thereunder. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also revise
your prospectus to state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such
provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and
the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising
under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum
provision in the governing document states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform
investors in future filings that the provision does not apply to any actions arising under the
Securities Act or Exchange Act.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of the registration
statement.
