The Company has asked us to convey the following as its responses to the Staff:
Exhibits, page II-2
1. | We note your response to prior comment 3. It appears that you could be “materially and adversely affected” without the use of your 520,000 square foot distribution and customer contact center. Please tell us why you believe the lease is not material in light of your facts and circumstances or file the lease agreement as an exhibit. |
Response to Comment 1
The Company advises the Staff that it has filed the lease agreement for its distribution and customer contact center in Tilton, New Hampshire and has revised the Registration Statement in response to the Staff’s comment. Please see page II-2 and the Exhibit Index of Amendment No. 3.
