The Registrant acknowledges that:
1. it is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in
its filing of the above-referenced Registration Statement;
2. staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments
in the filings reviewed by the staff do not foreclose the Securities

3. the Registrant may not assert staff comments 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.
