Pursuant to these exchange agreements, the Issuer delivers that number of its shares to TDS having a fair market value equal to the fair market value of the TDS shares which are issued in connection with such acquisitions (e.g., the Issuer will typically deliver that number of Common Shares to TDS determined by dividing the average closing price for the Common Shares on the AMEX for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery of such Common Shares, $1.00 par value, of TDS into the product of that number of TDS Common Shares delivered by TDS multiplied by the average closing price of TDS Common Shares on the AMEX during such period).
