The Company hereby affirms that it is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act. In connection with the foregoing request, the Company further acknowledges that:
| should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) or the staff of the Commission (the Staff), acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, 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 declaring the filing effective, 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 the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
It would be appreciated if, as soon as the Registration Statement is declared effective, you would so inform the Companys counsel, Roderick Branch at (312) 876-6516, and then send written confirmation to the addressees listed on the cover of the Registration Statement.
