5.Please disclose whether the forum selection provision applies to actions arising under the
Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange

liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section
22 of the 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 subscription agreement states this clearly.
