| • | such company may not assert 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. |
If you have any questions or comments regarding the foregoing, please call Keith Benson of Latham & Watkins LLP at (415) 646-8307 or the undersigned at (415) 738-6500. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
