5.Rights and duties of member after transfer.

[2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §2(NEW); 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §3(AFF).]

7.Account of transactions. In a dissolution and winding up of a limited liability company, a transferee is entitled to an account of the limited liability company's transactions only from the date of dissolution.
