allow us the ability to grant any further extensions. The proposal due date of April 5, 2010 remains as set forth in Amendment 0004.

Amendment 4, Section L

If an extension is not authorized, [Potential Offeror] respectfully requests consideration for leaving all the page allocations as they were prior to Amendment 2 and only require a 10-page increase for the SOPs and another 10-page increase for the sales and marketing plan.

If this option is chosen, [Prospective Offeror] will not require an extension.

As shown in Amendment 0004, Treasury received several questions from potential offerors suggesting page limits were too low and requesting several documents be excluded from the page count. As a result, Treasury modified the page limits in response to those questions.

The pages limits remain as set forth in Amendment 0004.
