b. the sale, lease, exclusive license, transfer or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether by purchase and sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, or, if substantially all of the assets of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Corporation, except where such sale, lease, exclusive license, transfer or other disposition is to the Corporation or one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Corporation.
2. Amount Deemed Paid or Distributed.

The value of such property, rights or securities shall be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:
a. Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (b) below:

(ii) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Deemed Liquidation Event; and
(iii) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board.
b. The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (a) (i), (ii) or (iii) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board.
