· the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in qualifying the filing, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
· the Company may not assert staff comments and/or qualification 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 questions concerning this request, please contact Christian Otteson at (720) 488-0220 or cotteson@sbbolaw.com. In addition, please notify Mr. Otteson when this request for acceleration has been granted. Thank you once again for your cooperation and assistance.
