In connection with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (file no. 333-249835), the Company hereby requests acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement to 5:00 p.m. (EST) Friday, November 13, 2020 or as soon thereafter as possible, in accordance with Rule 461(a) of Regulation C.

In connection with this request the Company acknowledges that:

We trust you will find the foregoing to be in order. Please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned should you have any questions in this regard.

Yours truly,
