In the event of such election to \nwithdraw, the interest of such Member shall be withdrawn in its entirety and shall be valued as of the date of withdrawal pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 12.2 and paid for in the manner hereinafter provided by this paragraph. The Managing Membe\nrs shall be entitled, in their sole discretion, to make the distribution in respect of the interest of the withdrawing Member in cash, in kind or pursuant to a promissory note due upon termination of the Company, or in any combination thereof. If any \ndistribution is to be made in kind and if such distribution cannot be made in full because of restrictions on the transfer of Securities or for any other reason, distribution may be delayed until an effective transfer and distribution may be made, and \nSecurities that will be transferred in respect of the withdrawing Member\u0092s interest shall be designated. Such designated Securities will nevertheless be subject to the full right and power of the Managing Members to deal with them in the best \ninterests of the Company, including the right to substitute other Securities of equivalent value.<\/font><\/p>\n\n
              (b)  In the event of the withdrawal of any Member pursuant hereto, the Percentage Interests and Capital Accounts of the withdrawing Member and \nthe remaining Members shall be appropriately adjusted, including any adjustments required as a result of any vesting provisions applicable to the withdrawing Member\u0092s interest.<\/font><\/p>\n\n
              (c)  The withdrawal of a Member shall not be cause for dissolution of the Company.<\/font><\/p>\n\n

              (A)  If traded on one (1) or more securities exchanges or traded on NASDAQ, the value of each Security shall be deemed to be the \nSecurity\u0092s closing price as reported in the Wall Street Journal<\/u> or another nationally recognized publication or service that reports such data for the valuation date.<\/font><\/p>\n\n
              (B)  If actively traded over-the-counter (but not on NASDAQ), the value shall be deemed to be the closing bid price of such Security on the \nvaluation date.<\/font><\/p>\n\n

              (c)  In the event the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subsequent allocations of income, \ngain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury \nRegulations thereunder.<\/font><\/p>\n\n
        14.3.<\/b>  Withholding.<\/b> The Company shall at all times be entitled to make payments with respect to any Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the \nCompany to withhold or make payments to any governmental authority with respect to any federal, state, local or other jurisdictional tax liability of such Member arising as a result of such Member\u0092s interest in the Company. Any such withholding \npayment shall be charged to the Member\u0092s Capital Account.<\/font><\/p>\n\n
