Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the Company's responses to the comment letter, dated March 27, 2012, from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), regarding the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “filing”), the Company acknowledges that:

• the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

• staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
