3. We note in your response to comment 6 the Company presents the
contingently
redeemable non-controlling interest as permanent equity because the
Company and not the
holders determines whether to satisfy a redemption request from a
holder of LLC Units in
shares of newly issued Class A common stock or cash. Please tell us
how the Company
will make the decision to issue shares or pay cash. In this regard, we
note the Pre-
IPO LLC Members will be able to control any action requiring the
general approval of
your stockholders including the election of your board of directors. A
board member,
while considered independent for regulatory compliance purposes, may
not be considered
independent for accounting purposes if that member was appointed to
the board by
individuals who currently hold Class B common stock and Common Units.
