• 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.

Please notify Winston W. Walp, II of Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP, counsel to the Company, at (214) 855-7424 upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or if you have any questions regarding this request.
