Appraisal Procedure For determining the Fair Market Sales Value of the Properties or any other amount which may, pursuant to any provision of any Operative Agreement, be determined by an appraisal procedure, Lessor and Lessee shall use the following procedure (the "Appraisal Procedure"). Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor to reach a mutual agreement as to such amount for a period of ten (10) days from commencement of the Appraisal Procedure under the applicable section of the Lease, and if they cannot agree within ten (10) days, then two (2) qualified appraisers, one (1) chosen by Lessee and one (1) chosen by Lessor, shall mutually agree thereupon, but if either party shall fail to choose an appraiser within twenty (20) days after notice from the other party of the selection of its appraiser, then the appraisal by such appointed appraiser shall be binding on Lessee and Lessor. If the two (2) appraisers cannot agree within twenty (20) days after both shall have been appointed, then a third appraiser shall be selected by the two (2) appraisers or, failing agreement as to such third appraiser within thirty (30) days after both shall have been appointed, by the American Arbitration Association. The decisions of the three (3) appraisers shall be given within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the third appraiser and the decision of the appraiser most different from the average of the other two (2) shall be discarded and such average shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee; provided, that if the highest appraisal and the lowest appraisal are equidistant from the third appraisal, the third appraisal shall be binding on Lessor and Lessee. The fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessee shall be paid by Lessee; the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by Lessor shall be paid by Lessor (such fees and expenses not being indemnified pursuant to Section 11 of the Participation Agreement); and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be divided equally between Lessee and Lessor.
Independent Expert The Parties and the other signatories may, upon written agreement, resort to an independent expert in order to obtain a well-grounded opinion that may lead to the settlement of the dispute or controversy. In case such agreement is signed, arbitration may only be filed after issuance of the expert’s opinion.
Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding Section 2.4, if appraisal rights are available to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL as a result of the Merger, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share held as provided in Section 2.4(a), unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such right to appraisal. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such right to appraisal, such holder's shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any amounts paid to a holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to a right of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL will be paid by the Company out of the Company's assets and in no event shall Parent or any affiliate thereof reimburse the Company for such payments." 9.
