F. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member may permit the modification of any of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.4.A, 3.4.B and 3.4.C above as applicable to any Member (including any Additional Member or Substituted Member or any transferee of either) provided that such representations and warranties, as modified, shall be set forth in either (i) a Membership Unit Designation applicable to the Membership Units held by such Member or (ii) a separate writing addressed to the Company and the Managing Member.
