Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 of Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“1933 Act”), the undersigned hereby requests that effectiveness under the 1933 Act of PEA 2 to its registration statement on Form N-14 be accelerated to March 11, 2013. The undersigned is aware of its obligations under the 1933 Act.
In connection with PEA 2 to its registration statement on Form N-14 and the Registrant’s request for acceleration of the effective date of the pending registration statement, the Registrant acknowledges that: (1) should the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the SEC staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to the filing; (2) the action of the SEC or the SEC staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Registrant from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and (3) the Registrant may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
