Our amended and restated bylaws will designate a state or federal court, page 63

 

1.

You disclose that your amended and restated bylaws will provide that the federal district court of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaints asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933 and nothing in your amended and restated bylaws precludes stockholders that assert claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 from bringing such claims in state or federal court. You also disclose that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to any causes of action arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Please revise your prospectus to clearly state whether your forum selection provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. In that regard, we note that Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in your amended and restated bylaws is consistent with your revised disclosure. For example, if this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please ensure that your provision in your amended and restated bylaws states this clearly.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that it has revised its disclosure on pages 63, 64 and 174 to address the Staff’s comment.
