&#147;Registrant&#148;) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;Commission&#148;) consent to the withdrawal, effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter, of its Registration Statement
on Form&nbsp;S-3 (File No.&nbsp;333-175317), together with all exhibits and amendments thereto (collectively, the &#147;Registration Statement&#148;). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Commission on July&nbsp;1, 2011.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Registration Statement was inadvertently filed as an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 as defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act (&#147;Form S-3ASR&#148;). As the Registrant does not meet the requirements necessary to file a Form S-3ASR, including the requirement that the Registrant have a worldwide market value of its outstanding voting and non-voting common
equity held by non-affiliates of $700 million or more, the Registrant is not eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement. The Registrant intended to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and intends to promptly re-file a new
registration statement covering the same amount of securities on Form S-3. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Registrant confirms that no securities have been sold pursuant

to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Please send copies of the written
