If any party shall fail to select an independent valuation expert and to instruct such expert as required by the immediately preceding sentence, then the independent valuation expert shall be the independent valuation expert selected by the other party. The determination of the independent valuation expert as provided in this clause (iii) shall be final and binding on the Company and the Holder and all fees and expenses of such expert shall be borne by the Company. (iv) If the circumstance giving rise to a right of conversion by Noteholders or exchange by the Company is a Liquidity Event of the nature set forth in clause (5) of the definition of "Liquidity Events," the Total Equity Value shall be determined (by agreement of the Board of Directors and the Majority Noteholders or by the independent valuation expert, as applicable) with reference to the public offer price for the Common Shares, unless the public offer price does not reasonably reflect the equity value of the Company. (v) If a Trading Market exists, the Total Equity Value shall be determined with reference to the market value of the Common Shares on the Trading Market, unless such market value does not reasonably reflect the equity value of the Company due to the lack of a sufficient volume of trading activity on such Trading Market or otherwise. (vi) Negotiations and determination (in each case on behalf of the Company) of Total Equity Value shall be undertaken by the Independent Directors.
