<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">I suppose my concern is with the word “before”. Is <i>on</i> the deadline still <i>before</i> the deadline? Is a request for an extension of a deadline that must be made <i>before</i> the deadline timely when it is made <i>on</i> the deadline? I can actually see it both ways. <div><br></div><div><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1;"><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img id="<image001.jpg@01DA5B7F.EB90F1D0>" src="cid:18FE20A5-0701-4D19-A352-A261A875D5AB" alt="image001.jpg" width="300" border="0" class="Apple-web-attachment Singleton" style="width: 3.125in; height: 2.2916in; opacity: 1;"></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p></div></div>This email message (including all attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.
