7.3 Exculpation.
(a) No Board of Director, officer or Member (each, a “Covered Person”) shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard for its duties.

(b) Additional Capital Calls. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors may, from time to time but no more frequently than monthly without the written consent of the Members, make additional capital calls upon the Members to fund upcoming expenses or deficits, which may be based on an estimate of future expenses.

9
expenses actually incurred and as are necessary, convenient or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company. Such reimbursement shall be treated as an expense of the Company that shall be deducted in computing Net Cash Flow and, in the case of a Member, shall not be deemed to constitute a distributive share of profits or return of capital to that Member. If the Company has insufficient funds to make full reimbursement to any party as contemplated hereby, each Member will fund its proportionate share (based on its Membership Interest) of such costs through Capital Contributions.
(d) Method of Payment. All Capital Contributions to the Company will be made by means of bank wire transfers of immediately available funds to the account of the Company, or to such other account or by such other method as the Board of Directors specify within 5 business days of receiving notice from the Board of Directors to make such contribution.
8.2 Capital Accounts and Related Matters.
(a) Capital Accounts. A separate “Capital Account” will be maintained for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In accordance with the above-cited Treasury Regulations, the Capital Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:
(i) Each Member’s Capital Account will be credited with:
(A) any contributions of cash made by such Member to the capital of the Company;
(B) the Member’s distributive share of Net Profit and items of Profit allocated to such Member under this Agreement, plus the Book Basis of any property contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company (net of any liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Tax Code Section 752); and
(C) any other increases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
(ii) Each Member’s Capital Account will be debited with:
(A) any distributions of cash made from the Company to such Member, plus the fair market value of any property distributed in kind to such Member (net of any liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Tax Code Section 752);
(B) the Member’s distributive share of Net Loss and items of Loss, allocated to such Member under this Agreement; and
(C) any other decreases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
The foregoing provisions relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions. In determining Profits and Losses, the Company will not make any adjustment to the Book Basis of assets which adjustment is permitted but not mandatory under the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Tax Code Section 704(b).
10
(b) No Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest will be paid by the Company on (i) any Capital Contribution, (ii) on the balance of any Capital Account, or (iii) except as otherwise agreed to by the other Members, on any advance to the Company from any Member.

This Section 9.2(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.

11
attributable in accordance with principles under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) or any successor provision.
(f) Loss Limitation. To the extent applicable, no Member will be allocated any item of Loss (or Net Loss) if such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a result of such allocation.
9.3 Tax Allocations.
(a) The income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company will be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Tax Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credit will be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts.
(b) To the extent applicable, items of Company taxable income, gain, loss and deduction and tax depreciation with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company will be allocated among the Members in accordance with Tax Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Book Basis. The Company will use the “traditional method” without curative allocations as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3.
(c) To the extent applicable, allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture and any items related thereto will be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board of Directors, taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).
(d) Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, distributions or other Company items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
9.4 Curative Allocations. If the Board of Directors determine, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in this Article IX (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Board of Directors may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member which would be affected thereby (which consent no such Member may unreasonably withhold).
9.5 Indemnification and Reimbursement for Payments on Behalf of a Member. Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Company is required (as determined by the Board of Directors) by law to make any payment on behalf of the Member (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes, state unincorporated business taxes, etc.), then such Member (“Indemnifying Member”) will indemnify the Company in full for the entire amount paid (including without limitation interest, penalties, consent and other professional fees, and all other expenses associated with such payment). At the option of the Board of Directors, the amount to be indemnified may be charged against a Capital Account of the Indemnifying Member, and at the option of the Board of Directors either: (a) promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company, the Indemnifying Member will make a cash payment to the
12
Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified (and the amount paid will be added to the Indemnifying Member’s Capital Account but will not be deemed to be a Capital Contribution hereunder), or (b) the Company will reduce subsequent distributions which would otherwise be made to the Indemnifying Member until the Company has recovered the amount to be indemnified (provided that the amount of such reduction will be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement, but such deemed distribution will not further reduce any of the Indemnifying Member’s Capital Account). A Member’s obligation to make contributions to the Company under this Section 9.5 will survive the termination, dissolution, liquidated and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 9.5, the Company will be treated as continuing in existence. The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Member under this Section 9.5, including without limitation instituting litigation to collect such contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to 18% per annum (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law).
