3.       We note the disclosure that NASDAQ rules require that the business
combination has an
         aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets
in the trust account.
         Please clarify whether the 80% requirement would continue to apply if
you were no
         longer listed on NASDAQ. Consider adding risk factor disclosure.
Risk Factors
Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and
Delaware law may have
the effect of discouraging lawsuits...., page 56

4.       We note your disclosure that your exclusive forum provision would not
apply to suits
         brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act,
and your disclosure
         that the provision applies to Securities Act claims. However, it is
not clear whether this is
         consistent with the description of your exclusive forum provision. For
example, with
         respect to exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of
Delaware, we note the
         exception for any claim "(iii) for which the Court of Chancery does
not have subject
         matter jurisdiction, including, without limitation, any claim arising
under the federal
         securities laws, as to which the federal district court for the
District of Delaware will be
         the sole and exclusive forum." However, Section 27 of the Exchange Act
creates
         exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any
duty or liability created
         by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and
Section 22 of the
         Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state
courts over all suits
         brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act
or the rules and
         regulations thereunder. As a result, it is not clear whether your
exclusive forum provision
         selects the federal district court for the District of Delaware for
Exchange Act claims, and
         it is not clear which forum is selected for Securities Act claims.
Please ensure that your
         disclosure is consistent with your exclusive forum provision. In
addition, if this provision
         does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act, please also
ensure that the
         exclusive forum provision in your articles of incorporation states
this clearly.
        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.
