(c) Copies of the limited liability company's federal, state, and local income tax
returns and financial statements, if any, for the three (3) most recent years or,
if those returns and statements were not prepared, copies of the information
and statements provided to, or which should have been provided to, the
members to enable them to prepare their federal, state, and local tax returns
for those years;
(d) Copies of any effective written operating agreements and all amendments
thereto, and copies of any written operating agreements no longer in effect;
and
(e) Unless contained in writing in an operating agreement:
1.
A writing setting forth the amount of cash, if any, and a statement of the
agreed value of other property or services, if any, contributed by each
member and the times at which or events upon the happening of which
any additional contributions are to be made;
2.
A writing stating events, if any, upon the happening of which the limited
liability company is to be dissolved and its affairs wound up; and
3.
Other writings, if any, prepared pursuant to a requirement, if any, in an
operating agreement.
Upon reasonable written request, a member may, at the member's own expense,
inspect and copy during ordinary business hours any limited liability company
record, where the record is located or at a reasonable location.
Members, if the management of the limited liability company is vested in the
members, or managers, if management of the limited liability company is vested in
managers, shall render, to the extent the circumstances render it just and reasonable,
true and full information of all matters affecting the members to any member, and
the member's agent, and to the legal representative of any deceased member or of
any member under legal disability.
Failure of the limited liability company to keep or maintain any of the records or
information required pursuant to this section shall not be grounds for imposing
liability on any member or manager for the debts and obligations of the limited
liability company.
A written operating agreement may impose reasonable limitations upon the use of
any record of or information with respect to a limited liability company. Except as
to limitations set forth in a written operating agreement to which a member
requesting information has assented, the limited liability company bears the burden
of proof in demonstrating the reasonableness of any restrictions imposed.
