For purposes of the Transfer Agreement, "market capitalization" is determined by multiplying (x) the total number of shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of the applicable date of determination by (y) the closing price of a share of the common stock of the Issuer on NASDAQ (or such other national securities exchange on which the shares of common stock of the Issuer are then listed) on such date |
