In response to the comments set forth in the Comment Letter, the Company has revised the Registration Statement and is filing with the Commission the Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Revised Registration Statement”) together with this response letter. The Revised Registration Statement contains certain additional updates and revisions.
