But the Company Response and the Company&#8217;s calculation of the aggregate market value of the Shares held by non-affiliates did not include any shares underlying restricted stock units or stock options (or any other shares that were not issued and outstanding) held by </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">non-affiliates</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">.  The Company Response only gave effect to the underlying shares held by affiliates to reconcile the number of Shares reflected in the Company Response to the numbers disclosed in (i) the Company&#8217;s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Commission on April 29, 2020 (the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221; and (ii) the Schedule 13D filed with the Commission by Mr. Neil Subin on June 19, 2020 (the &#8220;Schedule 13D&#8221;).  This was done solely for ease of the Staff&#8217;s reference and to facilitate the Staff&#8217;s comparison of the relevant figures, particularly because (i) the Staff expressly referenced the Schedule 13D in the Staff&#8217;s July 1, 2020 comments, and (ii) the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13D reflect the number of Shares for which the relevant persons are the &#8220;beneficial owner&#8221; (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), which includes the Shares underlying restricted stock units and stock options.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Regardless of the number of Shares underlying restricted stock units and stock options held by affiliates of the Company, the number of Shares held by non-affiliates is unchanged, and therefore the total aggregate market value of the Shares held by non-affiliates is also unchanged.  Put another way, if the number of Shares held by non-affiliates is determined by subtracting the number of Shares held by affiliates from the total number of Shares outstanding, removing the number of Shares underlying restricted stock units and stock options would result in a reduction of both the numerator and the denominator by the same number of Shares, and therefore the same number of Shares held by non-affiliates (which, when multiplied by the applicable closing price for the Shares, would result in the same aggregate market value held by non-affiliates).  Without giving effect to any Shares underlying restricted stock units or stock options (or any other Shares that are not issued and outstanding), the Company&#8217;s calculation as of June 8, 2020 (pursuant to General Instruction I.B.1. of Form S-3, a date within 60 days prior to the date on which the Form S-3 was filed) is as follows:</font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Total Shares issued and outstanding (i.e., not including any Shares underlying restricted stock units or stock options, or any other Shares that were not issued and outstanding as of June 8, 2020): 8,783,189</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:96px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;padding-left:72px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#8226;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Total Shares issued and outstanding held by affiliates of the Company (i.e., not including any Shares underlying restricted stock units or stock options, or any other Shares that were not issued and outstanding as of June 8, 2020): 2,435,815</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:144px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;padding-left:120px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#9702;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Neil Subin: 865,315</font></div></td></tr></table><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="padding-bottom:12px;font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:144px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:11pt;padding-left:120px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">&#9702;</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:11pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:11pt;">Daniel B.
