The undersigned officer of the registrant, on behalf of the registrant, acknowledges that:

| • | | Should the Securities and Exchange Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to designated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Securities and Exchange Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing. |
| | | |
| • | | The action of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the 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 |
| | | |
| • | | The registrant may not assert this as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
