In addition to the compensation and expenses paid or payable to Union Atlantic pursuant to Paragraphs 4 and 7, the Company agrees that, if Union Atlantic, introduces the Company, during the term of this Agreement, to any person or entity that during the term hereof or within six months following the terms hereof, becomes a party to a merger, acquisition, joint venture or other similar transaction with the Company or any affiliate thereof (a "Transaction"), then the Company shall pay to Union Atlantic a finder's fee, in cash, calculated as a percentage of the Transaction Value (as defined herein) in accordance with the following scale: 6% on the first $6,000,000 5% on the amount from $6,000,001 to $8,000,000 2 4% on the amount from $8,000,001 to $10,000,000 3% on the amount from 10,000,001 to $12,000,000 1% on the amount above $12,000,000 "Transaction Value" is defined and computed as follows: a. The total sale proceeds and other consideration received by (i) the Company, (ii) participants in the Company's phantom or other equity plans, (iii) recipients of a share of the Transaction proceeds or similar incentive arrangements and/or (iv) holders of the Company's stock, options, warrants and convertible securities ((i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) collectively being defined as the "Stakeholders") upon the consummation of any Transaction (including payments made in installments, paid into escrow and/or deferred), inclusive of case, debt and equity securities, notes, property, shareholder payables and indebtedness assumed or retired, agreements not to compete, consulting agreements and unusual employment contracts, plus the total value of any interest-bearing liabilities and long-term liabilities assumed or retired, the net value of any current assets not sold in an assets Transaction, the aggregate amount of any dividends (except regular dividends paid in conformity with past practice) or other distributions paid by the Company to the Stakeholders after the date hereof and the imputed value of any stock retained by the Stakeholders in a sale, recapitalization, leveraged buyout or similar transaction. b. If a portion of such consideration includes contingent payments, Transaction Value shall also include the value of such payments; provided that if the Company and Union Atlantic cannot in good faith agree on such value, then the portion of the finder's fee payable under this paragraph 5 and attributable to such contingent payments shall be paid to Union Atlantic as such payments are received by Stakeholders. If the Transaction Value for the Transaction consists in whole or in part of securities or other property, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Transaction Value, the value of such securities or other property will be the value thereof on the day preceding the consummation of the Transaction as the Company and Union Atlantic agree, provided, however, that in the case of securities for which there is a public trading market, the value will be determined by the average last sales prices for such securities for the last twenty (20) trading days prior to such consummation. In the case of debt securities for which there is no public trading market, the value thereof shall be the principal amount thereof. If there is no public trading market for securities or other property other than debt securities received or receivable as part of Transaction Value and the parties are unable to agree on their value, then each of Union Atlantic and the Company will select an investment banking firm respected in the merger and acquisition field to determine a value, and the midpoint between the two values established by the two independent experts will be the fair market value for the purposes hereof. 6.
