   1.                                                   We have read your
response to comment 5 and do not believe it provides sufficient
                                                        information to support
your use of the simplified method. Please provide a more
                                                        thorough response that
supports your conclusion that it is appropriate in your facts and
                                                        circumstances to apply
the simplified method to all option grants. Please address in your
                                                        reply, but do not
necessarily limit it to, the following points:

                                                              Confirm that all
options granted are "plain vanilla," as that term is described in
                                                            Questions 5 and 6
of SAB Topic 14D.2. If subsequent to grant you have modified
                                                            any options, please
confirm that the modified options are    plain vanilla.

             Your response references the "relatively short duration" that you
have had publicly
           traded stock compared to the stock option life of ten years.
Considering it appears
           you have been a publicly traded company since October 2012, explain
to us why this
           extended period of historical exercise activity does not provide a
reasonable basis
           upon which to estimate expected term. In your response, also explain
why you used
           the simplified method for all grants as opposed to a subset of
grants for which
           sufficient historical exercise data exists.

             Tell us the "significant changes" you made to your equity plan,
including when they
           were made and to what options they relate, and why those changes
support use of the
           simplified method.

             Your response references the "number of participating employees
and allocations of
           annual awards compared to historical practice." Clarify what you
mean by this
           statement and explain to us its relevance.

        You may contact Effie Simpson at (202) 551-3346 or Andrew Blume at

if you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and
related
matters. Please contact Andrew Blume with any other questions.
