          (v) on or prior to September 30, 2008, any Purchaser, any Affiliate of any Purchaser or any Company shall, as applicable, enter into one or more binding written agreements for, or publicly announce the intention to enter into, a Company Sale or Asset Sale (in such instances, a “ Proposed Higher Threshold Event ”), or a Purchaser Sale or Recapitalization (in such instances, a “ Proposed Lower Threshold Event ”), and subsequently (whether before or after September 30, 2008) engage in such Sale or Recapitalization with respect to which a binding agreement was so executed or such announcement was made on or prior to September 30, 2008; or

then, if the aggregate value of the proceeds from such Purchaser Sales, Recapitalizations, Proposed Lower Threshold Events and Public Offerings (collectively “ Lower Threshold Triggering Events ”) exceeds $57,500,000 (the “ Lower Threshold Amount ”), or if the aggregate value of the proceeds from such Company Sales, Asset Sales and Proposed Higher Threshold Events (collectively, “ Higher Threshold Triggering Events ”, and together with the Lower Threshold Triggering Events, “ Triggering Events ”)) exceeds $120,000,000 (the “ Higher Threshold Amount ”, and together with the Lower Threshold Amount, “ Threshold Amounts ”)), or if the aggregate value of the proceeds of any combination of Lower Threshold Triggering Events and Higher Threshold Triggering Events exceeds the arithmetic average of the Threshold Amounts of all such Triggering Events, then the Cash Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount (the “ Specified Amount ”) equal to 50% of the Implied Gain (as defined below) resulting from such Triggering Events.

In the event that at least one Lower Threshold Triggering Event and at least one Higher Threshold Triggering Event shall occur and neither of the respective Threshold Amounts shall be exceeded as a result, the aggregate value of the proceeds of all such Triggering Events shall be added together and from such amount shall be deducted the arithmetic average of the Threshold Amounts for all such Triggering Events.
