Registration Statement on Form S-3
General
1. We note you are registering for resale up to 10,339,123 shares of Class
A common
stock. Given the size of the offering relative to the number of shares
outstanding,
please provide us with a detailed analysis as to why you believe the
transaction is
appropriately characterized as a secondary offering that is eligible to
be made under
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), rather than a primary offering in which the selling
shareholder is
actually an underwriter selling on your behalf. For guidance, please see
Question
612.09 of the Division s Securities Act Rules Compliance & Disclosure
Interpretations.

2. We note your footnote (1) on page 13. Please update the number and
percent for the
column titled "Shares of Class A Common Stock Owned Before the Offering"
in the
table to reflect the number of shares the Selling Stockholder owns as of
the date of the
prospectus.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence
of action by the staff.
Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please
allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
