8.4.6   For the purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the value at which the Members mutually agree upon, or in the absence of such agreement within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the Exercise Notice, then the Members shall by mutual agreement name a competent, independent appraiser familiar with the appraisal of similar closely held businesses to conduct an appraisal of the equity interests to be purchased.  The Fair Market Value of such equity interests shall be determined by the appraiser within forty-five (45) days of the Exercise Date.  The appraiser shall be instructed not to apply a discount to equity interests with a minority (i.e., non-controlling) interest nor to apply a premium to equity interests with a controlling interest in determining the Fair Market Value of the equity interests to be purchased.  If the Members are unable to agree on an appraiser within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period referred to in this Section 8.4.6, the Members shall each choose a qualified appraiser and these appraisers, as a group and by majority vote, shall select one independent qualified appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the equity interests to be purchased in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph.  In all cases under this Agreement, the cost of any appraisals obtained for purposes of determining Fair Market Value shall be paid by the Company.
