In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post–effective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
