1. | Staff’s Comment: This section indicates as to claims under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, “[T]he federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum.” Exhibit 3.2, Section 12.1 (Form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation), states “[T]he Court of Chancery and the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall concurrently be the sole and exclusive forums.” Please reconcile and if the federal courts will be the exclusive forum for Securities Act claims, please revise the disclosure to address any uncertainty around the enforceability of the provision, given the concurrent jurisdiction provided in Section 22 of the Securities Act. |
Response: The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and has revised Exhibit 3.2, Section 12.1 (Form of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) to clarify that federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for Securities Act claims, and has revised the Registration Statement accordingly on pages 62 and 137 to address any uncertainty around the enforceability of the provision, given the concurrent jurisdiction provided in Section 22 of the Securities Act.
