Dear Ms. McManus:
We filed the above-referenced Offering Statement on Form 1-A on September 23, 2016. Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, we now respectfully request that the qualification date of the Offering Statement be accelerated and that the offering statement be declared qualified as soon as is reasonably practicable.
We acknowledge the following:
| • | | should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, qualify the filing, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; |
| • | | 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. |
