In the case of a recapitalization, Total Consideration includes the value of any capital stock of the Company or rights to acquire capital stock of the Company (whether or not vested) that roll over or otherwise remain outstanding following the Sale Transaction. The value of all non-cash consideration, other than consideration in the form of notes or debt, or equity securities, which are of a class which is publicly traded, shall be the fair market value thereof as mutually agreed by Executive and Company in writing, or if Executive and Company are unable to reach an agreement within 30 days after the closing of the Sale Transaction, as determined by an investment banker or other person experienced in valuing such non-cash consideration mutually acceptable to Executive and the Company. The determination of the investment banker or other person shall be binding on Executive and Company, and Executive and Company shall each be responsible for paying one-half of the fees of any such investment banker or other person.
