SECTION 3. EXERCISE.
(a) MANNER OF EXERCISE. This Warrant may be exercised at any time
or from time to time, on any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or holiday
under the laws of the State of New York, for all or any part of the number of
shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its exercise; provided, however, that
this Warrant shall be void and all rights represented hereby shall cease unless
exercised before the Warrant Expiration Date. In order to exercise this Warrant,
in whole or in part, the holder hereof shall deliver to the Corporation at its
principal place of business, or at such other office as the Corporation may
designate by notice in writing, (i) this Warrant and (ii) a written notice of
such holder's election to exercise this Warrant substantially in the form of
EXHIBIT A attached hereto and shall (i) pay to the Corporation by cashier's
check made payable to the order of the Corporation or wire transfer of funds to
an account designated by the Corporation an amount equal to the aggregate
purchase price for all shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is
exercised or (ii) tender Trust Preferred Securities of CCC Capital Trust, a
Delaware business trust, valued at the liquidation amount of such Trust
Preferred Securities plus accrued but unpaid distributions on such Trust
Preferred Securities, having a value equal to the aggregate purchase price for
all shares of Common Stock as to which this Warrant is exercised. In lieu of
such exercise of this Warrant, the holder may from time to time convert this
Warrant, in whole or in part, into a number of shares of Common Stock determined
by dividing (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 19
hereof) of the shares of Common Stock or other securities otherwise issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant minus the aggregate Exercise Price as of the date
of exercise by (b) the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock.
2
(b) ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK. Upon receipt of the documents and
payments or shares described in Section 3(a), the Corporation shall, as promptly
as practicable, and in any event within 10 business days thereafter, execute or
cause to be executed, and deliver to such holder a certificate or certificates
representing the aggregate number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such exercise, together with an amount in cash in lieu of any fraction of a
share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so
delivered shall be in the denomination specified in said notice and shall be
registered in the name of the holder hereof. This Warrant shall be deemed to
have been exercised and a certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock
shall be deemed to have been issued, and the holder hereof or any other person
so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of
record of such shares for all purposes as of the date said notice, together with
this Warrant and the documents and payments or shares described in Section 3(a),
is received by the Corporation as aforesaid. If this Warrant shall have been
exercised in part, the Corporation shall, at the time of delivery of said
certificate or certificates, deliver to the holder hereof a new Warrant
evidencing the rights of such holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of
Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other
respects be identical with this Warrant. The Corporation shall pay all expenses
and any and all United States Federal, state and local taxes and other charges
that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of
stock certificates under this Section 3, except that the Corporation shall not
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise in a name other than that of the holder who shall have surrendered the
same in exercise of the subscription right evidenced thereby. The Corporation
covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant
will, upon payment (or deemed payment in the case of cashless exercise) of the
Exercise Price, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, free of preemptive rights and, except for any tax payable by the
holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, free from all taxes, liens, charges
and security interests with respect to the issue thereof. The Corporation shall
from time to time take all action which may be necessary to obtain and keep
effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies
and authorities and securities act filings under federal and state laws which
may be or become required in connection with the issuance, sale, transfer and
delivery of this Warrant, the exercise of this Warrant, and the issuance, sale,
transfer and delivery of the shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this
Warrant.
SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES; STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(a) The Corporation covenants that it will at all times until the
Warrant Expiration Date reserve and keep available, free of pre-emptive rights,
out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue
upon exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall
then be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(b) If any securities to be reserved for the purpose of exercise
of this Warrant require approvals or registrations under applicable state "blue
sky" or federal securities laws, the Corporation will obtain such approvals or
registrations as may be appropriate.
SECTION 5. NEGOTIABILITY. This Warrant is issued upon the following
terms, to all of which each holder or owner hereof by the taking hereof consents
and agrees:
3
(a) Subject to compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the
holder hereof executing the form of assignment attached hereto as EXHIBIT B) and
delivery in the same manner as in the case of a negotiable instrument
transferable by endorsement and delivery;
(b) Subject to compliance with federal and applicable state
securities laws, any person in possession of this Warrant properly endorsed is
authorized to represent himself as absolute owner hereof and is empowered to
transfer absolute title hereto by endorsement and delivery hereof to a bona fide
purchaser hereof for value; each prior taker or owner waives and renounces all
of his equities or rights in this Warrant in favor of each such bona fide
purchaser, and each such bona fide purchaser shall acquire absolute title hereto
and to all rights represented hereby; and
(c) Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the
Corporation, the Corporation may treat the registered holder hereof as the
absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary, and any transfer in violation of the terms hereof shall be void and of
no effect.
SECTION 6. LOSS OR MUTILATION. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
the Corporation of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant
(including a reasonably detailed affidavit with respect to the circumstances of
any loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant) and, if requested in the case of
any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other
agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, or, in the
case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant,
the Corporation at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu hereof, a new
Warrant of like tenor.
SECTION 7. CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC. If any consolidation or merger
of the Corporation with another corporation or other entity or the sale of all
or substantially all of its assets to another corporation or other entity (each
an "Extraordinary Event") shall be effected, then, as a condition of such
Extraordinary Event, the Corporation shall cause lawful and adequate provision
to be made whereby the registered holder of this Warrant shall thereafter have
the right to receive, upon exercise hereof and the payment of the Exercise
Price, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Corporation immediately
theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock,
securities or property (including cash) as may be issued or payable with respect
to or in exchange for a number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation
immediately theretofore receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant had such
Extraordinary Event not taken place, and in any such case appropriate provision
shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holder of this
Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation,
provisions for adjustments of the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in
relation to any shares of stock, securities or property thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise hereof. The foregoing provisions shall similarly apply to
successive Extraordinary Events. The Corporation shall not effect any such
consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its assets unless,
prior to the consummation thereof, the successor corporation or other entity (if
other than the Corporation) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the
corporation or other entity purchasing such assets shall assume by written
instrument executed and mailed to the registered holder of this Warrant, at the
last address of such registered holder appearing on the books of the
4
Corporation, the obligation to deliver to such registered holder such shares of
stock, securities or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions,
such registered holder may be entitled to purchase or receive.
SECTION 8. ANTIDILUTION PROTECTION.
(a) If at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the
Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed by the express provisions of this
subsection (a) to have issued or sold, any Additional Shares of Common Stock (as
defined in subsection (g) below) other than as a dividend or other distribution
on any class of stock as provided in clause (d) below, and other than a
subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock as provided in clause (e)
below, without consideration or for an Effective Price (as defined in subsection
(g) below) less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock immediately
prior to the time of such issue or sale, the then effective Exercise Price shall
be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to
the price equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (A) the product of (x)
such Exercise Price multiplied by (y) the sum of (i) the total number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have
been issued pursuant to Section 7 or this Section 8) immediately prior to such
issuance, and (ii) a number of shares of Common Stock calculated by dividing the
consideration received by the Corporation from such issuance by the Fair Market
Value per Share of the Common Stock; by (B) the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been
issued pursuant to Section 7 and this Section 8) immediately after such issuance
of the Additional Shares of Common Stock. No adjustment of the Exercise Price,
however, shall be made in an amount less than $0.01 per share, and any such
lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and
together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments
so carried forward shall amount to $0.01 per share or more. Upon any such
reduction in the Exercise Price, the total number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased so that the total
amount payable upon exercise in whole of this Warrant shall not be modified.
(b) For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this
Section 8, the consideration received by the Corporation for any issue or sale
of securities shall (i) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the
gross amount of cash received by the Corporation before deduction of any
underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed
by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction
of any expenses payable by the Corporation, (ii) to the extent it consists of
property other than cash, be computed at the fair market value of that property
as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, and
(iii) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined
in subsection (c) below) or Options (as defined in subsection (c) below) to
purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are
issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the
Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of
the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common
Stock, Convertible Securities or Options.
(c) For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section
8, if the Corporation issues or sells any (i) stock or other securities
convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Additional Shares of Common
5
Stock (such convertible, exercisable or exchangeable stock or securities being
herein referred to as "Convertible Securities") or (ii) rights, options or
warrants for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible
Securities (such rights, options or warrants being referred to herein as
"Options"), and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock
is less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock immediately prior
to the time of the granting of such Convertible Securities or Options, the
Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such
Options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof and to have
received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the
total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the
issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus, in the case of such
Options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the
Corporation upon the exercise of such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible
Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the
Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced
by such Convertible Securities) upon the conversion, exercise or exchange
thereof; provided that if in the case of Convertible Securities the minimum
amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of
antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Corporation shall be deemed to
have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such
clauses; provided further that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to
the Corporation upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of Options or
Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or
non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution
adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which
such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further that if the
minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities is subsequently
increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased
minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise,
conversion or exchange of such Options or Convertible Securities. No further
adjustment of the Exercise Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such Options
or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of
Additional Shares of Common Stock on the exercise of any such Options or the
conversion, exercise or exchange of any such Convertible Securities. If any such
Options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible
Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Exercise Price, as
adjusted upon the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, shall be
readjusted at the time of such expiration to the Exercise Price which would have
been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional
Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if
any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such Options or rights of
conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common
Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by
the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually
received by the Corporation for the granting of all such Options, whether or not
exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the
Convertible Securities actually converted, exercised or exchanged, plus the
consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by
cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible
Securities) on the conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible
Securities.
(d) In case the Corporation shall declare a dividend or make any
other distribution upon any stock of the Corporation payable in Common Stock,
Options or Convertible Securities, any Common Stock, Options or Convertible
6
Securities, as the case may be, issuable in payment of such dividend or
distribution shall be deemed to have been issued or sold without consideration,
and the Exercise Price then in effect immediately prior to such dividend
declaration or distribution shall be reduced as if the Corporation had
subdivided its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares as provided in clause (e) of this Section 8.
(e) If the Corporation at any time subdivides (by any stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common
Stock into a greater number of shares, the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased and the Exercise
Price will be proportionately decreased, and if the Corporation at any time
combines (by reverse stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the number of shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased and the
Exercise Price will be proportionately increased.
(f) OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. Other than ordinary cash dividends or
distributions paid out of the Corporation's current earnings in amounts
consistent with the Corporation's ordinary practice as in effect from time to
time, which are specifically excluded from the provisions of this clause (f), in
the event the Corporation shall fix a record date for the making of a dividend
or distribution on its Common Stock payable in cash, Common Stock of the
Corporation, securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by
the Corporation or other persons, assets or warrants or rights not referred to
in clauses (d) or (e) of this Section 8 (the "Other Distribution"), then, in
each such case, at the election of the Corporation, either (i) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable after such record date upon exercise of this
Warrant shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such record date
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock on the record date for such distribution and the
denominator of which shall be the then Fair Market Value per share of Common
Stock on the record date for such distribution less an amount equal to the then
fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Corporation) of the Other Distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock,
or (ii) adequate provision shall be made so that the holder of this Warrant
shall have the right to receive, in addition to shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of this Warrant, at the election of the Company, either (A) the Other
Distribution to which such holder would have been entitled as a holder of Common
Stock if such holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the record
date for such distribution or (B) the cash equivalent of such Other
Distribution.
If the Corporation elects to adjust the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to clause (i)
above, such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective on the date of distribution retroactive to the record
date for the determination of stockholders of the Corporation entitled to
receive such distribution; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall deliver
to the holder who exercises this Warrant after any such record date, but prior
to the related distribution, a due xxxx or other appropriate instrument
evidencing such holder's right to receive such distribution upon its occurrence.
7
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not elect
the adjustment provided for in clause (i) above if the then fair market value
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) of
the Other Distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or
greater than the then Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the record
date of such distribution.
(g) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of
Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed to be issued pursuant to this
Section 8 (whether or not subsequently reacquired or retired by the
Corporation), other than Excluded Stock. "Excluded Stock" shall mean (i) Common
Stock and/or options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights and the
Common Stock issued pursuant to such options, warrants or other rights to
employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the
Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans
or other arrangements that are approved by the Board of Directors; (ii) Common
Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or convertible
securities outstanding as of the date hereof; (iii) Common Stock issued pursuant
to a transaction for which an adjustment is made pursuant to Section 7 and
clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 8 hereof; and (iv) shares of Common Stock
issued for cash in a registered underwritten offering bona fide offered and sold
to the public. The "Effective Price" of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall
mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares
of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the
Corporation under this Section 8, into the aggregate consideration received, or
deemed to have been received by the Corporation for such issue under this
Section 8, for such Additional Shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 9. NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. If any event shall occur as to
which the provisions of Section 7 or 8 hereof are not strictly applicable but
the failure to make any adjustment would adversely affect the purchase rights
represented by this Warrant in a way that is contrary to the manifest and
essential intent and principles of Sections 7 and 8 hereof, then, in each such
case, the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall provide for an adjustment,
if applicable, on a basis consistent with the manifest and essential intent and
principles established in Sections 7 and 8 hereof, necessary to preserve,
without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant.
SECTION 10. NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENT. Upon any adjustment or other change
relating to the Exercise Price or the securities purchasable upon the exercise
of this Warrant, then, and in each such case, the Corporation shall (a) file at
the Warrant Office a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants
(who may be the regular accountants employed by the Corporation) setting forth
the Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrant after such adjustment and setting forth a statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment and showing in reasonable detail the manner of
computing the same and (b) promptly give written notice thereof, by first class
mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the registered holder of this Warrant at the
address of such registered holder as shown on the books of the Corporation,
which notice shall state the increase or decrease in the number or other
denominations of securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant and a
copy of the certificate referred to in clause (a) above.
8
SECTION 11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. If the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted pursuant to provisions
hereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless not be required to issue fractions of
shares, upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise, or to distribute
certificates that evidence fractional shares. Whether or not fractional shares
are issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be determined on the basis of
the total number of shares of Common Stock the holder is at the time acquiring
and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate exercise.
With respect to any fraction of a share called for upon any exercise hereof, the
Corporation shall pay to the holder hereof an amount in cash equal to such
fraction multiplied by the current Fair Market Value of one share of Common
Stock.
SECTION 12. INFORMATION. Each holder of this Warrant, and each holder
of shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, by
acceptance hereof and thereof, agrees to furnish to the Corporation such
information concerning such holder as may be requested by the Corporation which
is necessary in connection with any registration or qualification of shares of
Common Stock purchasable hereunder.
SECTION 13. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED STOCKHOLDER. The holder of this
Warrant shall not, as such, be entitled to any rights as a stockholder of the
Corporation, except for those conferred pursuant to this Warrant, nor shall the
holder of this Warrant have any liabilities to purchase any securities hereunder
or as a stockholder of the Corporation whether such liabilities are asserted by
the Corporation or by creditors or stockholders of the Corporation or otherwise.
SECTION 14. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Other than in connection with
transfers to its general partners, limited partners or affiliates (so long as
such a transfer would not require approvals or registrations under applicable
state "blue sky" or federal securities laws), the holder of this Warrant may not
transfer all or any portion of this Warrant until February 23, 2004. This
Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
may not be pledged, sold, assigned or otherwise transferred unless the proposed
disposition is the subject of a currently effective registration statement under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or unless an exemption from registration
thereunder is available. Subject to the prior sentence, the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are freely transferable at any
time.
SECTION 15. RIGHTS OF ACTION; REMEDIES. All rights of action with
respect to this Warrant are vested in the holder of this Warrant, and the holder
may enforce against the Corporation its right to exercise this Warrant for the
purchase of shares of Common Stock in the manner provided in this Warrant. The
Corporation stipulates that the remedies at law of the holder of this Warrant in
the event of any default or threatened default by the Corporation in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of this Warrant are not and
will not be adequate, and that such terms may be specifically enforced by a
decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.
SECTION 16. MODIFICATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall not be
modified, supplemented or altered in any respect except with the consent in
writing of the holder hereof and the Corporation; and no change in the number or
nature of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, or the
9
exercise price therefor, or the acceleration of the Warrant Expiration Date,
shall be made without the consent in writing of the holder hereof, other than
such changes as are specifically prescribed by this Warrant as originally
executed.
SECTION 17. MISCELLANEOUS. This Warrant shall be governed by, and
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of State of Delaware,
without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws. The headings in this
Warrant are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect any of the terms hereof. This Warrant is being executed as an instrument
under seal. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in
no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision. This
Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Securities Purchase
Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2001, among the Corporation, CCC Capital
Trust and Capricorn embody the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating
to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 18. SUCCESSORS. All the covenants and provisions of this
Warrant shall bind and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted
transferees of the holder and the successors of the Corporation.
SECTION 19. EXCHANGE LISTING. The Corporation will from time to time
take all action that may be necessary so that the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, immediately upon their issuance upon the
exercise of this Warrant, will be listed on the principal securities exchanges,
automated quotation systems or other markets within the United States of
America, if any, on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed, if any.

terms have the following respective meanings:
"Average Price" means, with respect to any shares of stock or
securities, including the Common Stock, on any date of determination,
the average for the five (5) Trading Days preceding and including such
date of determination of the reported last sale prices per share on a

on such exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System, or if not listed or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges, the average for the five (5)

"Fair Market Value" means, with respect to any shares of stock or other

trading on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on such exchange or quoted in the NASDAQ System, the
Average Price per share or security, as the case may be, at the close
of trading on the Trading Day on which the relevant determination is to
be made (the date of exercise of the Warrant, in the case of any such
determination to be made with respect to such exercise) or, if such day
is not a Trading Day, the Trading Day immediately preceding such day
and (ii) if such stock or security is not so listed or admitted to
unlisted trading privileges, the current fair market value of such
stock or security as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
