File No. 001-32316
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is to confirm the telephone conversation between Mr. Joseph Klinko, Staff Accountant, and the undersigned on Friday, June 9, 2017, regarding the comments that you have provided on behalf of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in your letter dated May 31, 2017 (the “Comment Letter”).
We are in the process of preparing our response to the Comment Letter. However, I advised Mr. Klinko in our telephone conversation on Friday that due to timing constraints on our internal finance and legal personnel we require additional time to fully and appropriately respond to the comments made by the Staff. Therefore, we respectfully requested an extension of time to respond to the Comment Letter and were advised that such request would be granted by the Staff. We appreciate the Staff’s willingness to grant our request. We intend to submit our response to you on or before Friday, July 7, 2017.
If you have any questions with respect to the foregoing, please contact me at (973) 630-6406.
Sincerely,
/s/ Scott E. Lerner |
