We are aware of our filing obligations under the Securities Act and intend to fully comply therewith.
We acknowledge and understand that the Company and management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the disclosures made in our filings.

| • | The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and |
| • | The Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States. |
We request that we be notified of such effectiveness by telephone call to Mark L. Jones of Burleson LLP at (713) 358-1791.
