As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all such securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date hereof and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.
