The appraisals will be completed within twenty (20) days of the earlier of the dates on which either the Offering Party or the Offeree Party appoints an Appraiser, in each case pursuant to the foregoing sentence. If the value (or, in the case of an appraisal that generates a range of values, the median value of such appraisal) of each appraisal is within ten percent (10%) of the value of the other appraisal (or median value in the case of a range), then the appraisals will be averaged with the resulting value being deemed to be the fair market value for purposes of this Section 8.06. If the value (or median value in the case of a range) of one appraisal is more than ten percent (10%) of the value of the other appraisal (or median value in the case of a range), then the Offering Party and the Offeree Party will attempt to agree upon the fair market value of the Interests for a five (5) day period following the expiration of the immediately preceding twenty (20) day period referred to in this Section 8.06(e). If the Offering Party and the Offeree Party are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Interests, then the two Appraisers will jointly retain a third Appraiser, to complete a third appraisal within twenty (20) days immediately following the expiration of the immediately preceding five (5) day period referred to in this Section 8.06(e). The fair market value for purposes of this Section 8.06(e) will then be the average of the two closest appraisals (or median values in the case of ranges of values) among the three appraisals referred to herein. When determining the fair market value of the Interests, each Appraiser shall value such Interests at the fair market value of all of the Interests in a public offering, without any minority ownership or liquidity discounts. For purposes of this Agreement, the Offeree Party shall be deemed to have received written notice of the fair market valuation (i) on the date the Offering Party and the Offeree Party agree to such valuation, if such agreement is reached, or (ii) on the date it receives written notice from the applicable Appraisers of the fair market value determination under the terms of this Section 8.06(e). (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transfers proposed or effectuated pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall not be subject to the tag-along rights or the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 8.05; provided, however, that each of Ventures and Coinstar shall be able to exercise the right of first refusal set forth in Section 8.06(c) if the purchase price pursuant to a sale or public offering pursuant to Section 8.06(c) is less than the fair market value of the Interests determined pursuant to Section 8.06(e).

If the Offering Party and the Offeree Party are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Interests, then the two Appraisers will jointly retain a third Appraiser, to complete a third appraisal within twenty (20) days immediately following the expiration of the immediately preceding five (5) day period referred to in this Section 8.06(e). The fair market value for purposes of this Section 8.06(e) will then be the average of the two closest appraisals (or median values in the case of ranges of values) among the three appraisals referred to herein. When determining the fair market value of the Interests, each Appraiser shall value such Interests at the fair market value of all of the Interests in a public offering, without any minority ownership or liquidity discounts. For purposes of this Agreement, the Offeree Party shall be deemed to have received written notice of the fair market valuation (i) on the date the Offering Party and the Offeree Party agree to such valuation, if such agreement is reached, or (ii) on the date it receives written notice from the applicable Appraisers of the fair market value determination under the terms of this Section 8.06(e). (f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transfers proposed or effectuated pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall not be subject to the tag-along rights or the rights of first refusal set forth in Section 8.05; provided, however, that each of Ventures and Coinstar shall be able to exercise the right of first refusal set forth in Section 8.06(c) if the purchase price pursuant to a sale or public offering pursuant to Section 8.06(c) is less than the fair market value of the Interests determined pursuant to Section 8.06(e).
