48-249-619. Receivership or custodianship.

(a)  Judicial appointment.  A court having equity jurisdiction in a judicial proceeding brought to dissolve, wind up and terminate the existence of an LLC may appoint one (1) or more receivers to wind up and liquidate, or one (1) or more custodians to manage the business and affairs of the LLC. The court shall hold a hearing, after notifying all parties to the proceeding and any interested persons designated by the court, before appointing a receiver or custodian. The court appointing a receiver or custodian has exclusive jurisdiction over the LLC and all of its property, wherever located.

(b)  Eligibility.  The court may appoint an individual or a domestic or foreign entity, authorized to transact business in this state, as a receiver or custodian. The court may require the receiver or custodian to post bond, with or without sureties, in an amount the court directs.

(c)  Powers and Duties.  The court shall describe the powers and duties of the receiver or custodian in its appointing order, which may be amended from time to time. Among other powers:

     (1)  A receiver may:

          (A)  Dispose of all or any part of the assets of the LLC, wherever located, at a public or private sale, if authorized by the court; and

          (B)  Sue and defend in the receiver's own name, as receiver of the LLC, in all courts of this state; and

     (2)  A custodian may exercise all of the powers of the LLC, through or in place of its members, board of directors, managers, or officers, as applicable, to the extent necessary to manage the affairs of the LLC in the best interests of its members, holders and creditors.

(d)  Combined functions.  The court, during a receivership, may redesignate the receiver a custodian, and, during a custodianship, may redesignate the custodian a receiver, if doing so is in the best interests of the LLC and its members, holders and creditors.

(e)  Compensation.  The court, from time to time during the receivership or custodianship, may order compensation paid and expense disbursements or reimbursements made to the receiver or custodian and the receiver's or custodian's counsel from the assets of the LLC or proceeds from the sale of the assets.
