event the Members fail to unanimously agree upon a
licensed real estate appraiser as aforesaid, the
withdrawing Member shall select an independent licensed
real estate appraiser of his own choice, the remaining
Members shall select an independent licensed real estate
appraiser and the two appraisers so selected shall
select a third independent licensed real estate
appraiser. The appraisers selected, shall, by a

computations (including without limitation, a copy of
the real estate appraisals relied upon), shall be
completed by the accountant and copies delivered to the
Members before the expiration of the acceptance period.
Such adjusted book value shall be the purchase price for

shall be binding upon all parties hereto, unless and
until changed by written agreement of the Members or by
arbitration award, as hereinafter provided. Any loans
due and owing from the withdrawing Member to the
purchasing Member shall be accelerated and netted
against the purchase price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event that a Member shall (or be deemed
to) give a Notice of Election to withdraw prior to the

of the Company, the first installment of such note to be
payable three (3) months after the Closing Date, and the
remaining installments to be paid successively, one (1)
every three (3) months thereafter until all of such
installments shall be paid. Such note shall provide for
the privilege of prepayment at any time without premium
or penalty. The note shall provide that all such
installments shall become due at the option of the holder
if all or any part of the principal or interest due on
any such note remains unpaid for thirty (30) days after
the date on which the same becomes due by the terms of
such note. The Closing Date shall be the thirtieth day
after the expiration of the "acceptance period",
provided however, that the Purchasers shall have the
right to advance the Closing Date on five (5) days
written notice to the withdrawing Member. The closing

inconsistent with such collateral arrangement shall be
enjoyed by the purchasing Member, including, without
limitation, voting privileges and receipt of profit and
loss. In the event of a default as above provided, and
if payment in full is not made within five (5) days after

withdrawing Member may, after thirty (30) additional
days, give written notice of such default to the
remaining Members, who shall have the right either to
pay the entire remaining amount then in default or to
terminate and liquidate the Company business pursuant to
Article X11. Such payment, if at all, shall be made
