(d) Return of Distributions. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, no Member shall be obligated to return any Distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any Distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to return any Distribution, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.

Section 5.4 Tax Distributions
