Pursuant to Rule 460 under the Act, we, as representatives of the several underwriters, wish to advise you that there will be distributed to each underwriter or dealer, who is reasonably anticipated to participate in the distribution of the security, as many copies of the proposed form of preliminary prospectus as appears to be reasonable to secure adequate distribution of the preliminary prospectus.

The undersigned, as representatives of the several underwriters, advise that they have complied and will continue to comply, and each underwriter has advised the undersigned that it has complied and will continue to comply, with the requirements of Rule 15c2-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
