5.3 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES. For each Fiscal Year of the Company, after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such Fiscal Year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 5.4 with respect to such Fiscal Year, all Profits and Losses (other than Profits and Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 5.4) shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests at such time.
5.4 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.3:

If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

5.6.2 In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution.
5.6.3 If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Book Value” set forth in Section 1.1, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense 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).

GENERAL PROVISIONS
11.1 OFFSET. Whenever the Company is to pay any sum to any Member, any amounts that Member owes to the Company may be deducted from that sum before payment.
11.2 NOTICES. Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests or consents provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either by depositing that writing in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or by delivering that writing to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission; and a notice, request or consent given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the Person to receive it. All notices, requests and consents to be sent to a Member must be sent to or made at the address given for that Member on Schedule A, or such other address as that Member may specify by notice to the other Members. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate or this Agreement, a written waiver thereof, signed by the Person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.
11.3 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Members and their affiliates relating to the Company and supersedes all prior contracts or agreements with respect to the Company, whether oral or written.
11.4 EFFECT OF WAIVER OR CONSENT.

Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any provision of the Certificate or any mandatory provision of the Act, the applicable provision of the Certificate or the Act shall control. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances is not affected thereby and that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by
11.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. In connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, each Member shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement and those transactions.
11.9 WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS. Each Member irrevocably waives any right it may have to maintain any action for dissolution of the Company or for partition of the property of the Company or for any rights to information from the Company provided under Section 18-305 of the ACT.

(a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the Indemnifying Member shall make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid shall be added to the Indemnifying Member’s Capital Account but shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution), or
