We note your disclosure regarding the cost reimbursement provision in your certificate of incorporation. However, it appears that such provision is set forth in your bylaws. Please revise your disclosure to clarify. Please also include risk factor disclosure that describes the cost reimbursement provision and related risks to investors. For example, explain that the cost reimbursement provision may increase the cost of bringing lawsuits and may effectively discourage shareholder claims. As another example, please discuss the uncertainty about the ultimate effect of such provision.
Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 19 of the Amendment to clarify that the cost reimbursement provision is set forth in the bylaws. In addition, the Company has revised its disclosure on page 9 of the Amendment to add a risk factor related to the cost reimbursement provision in its bylaws.

the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosures in the filing;
●
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and

the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
