(the “Company”) hereby requests the withdrawal, effective as of the date hereof or as promptly as practicable, of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168646) (the “Registration Statement”), including all exhibits filed therewith and all amendments thereto. The Registration Statement was originally filed on August 9, 2010.
