The Company acknowledges that the disclosure in the Registration Statement is the responsibility of the Company. The Company hereby represents to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that:

| • | | the Company may not assert staff comments and 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. |
Please contact Richard A. Drucker (212-450-4745) or Peter E. Devlin (212-450-4295) of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP with any questions you may have concerning this request.
