(2) An operating agreement may provide for the establishment of a record date for allocations and distributions concerning a series.
(3) Notwithstanding Section 48-2c-1005, a limited liability company may make a limited distribution with respect to a series only.

(b) the value of the series' total assets would be less than the sum of:
(i) its total liabilities; and
(ii) unless the articles of organization or the operating agreement permit otherwise, the amount that would be needed, if the series were to be dissolved and wound up at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution and winding up of members whose preferential rights are superior to the rights of members receiving the distribution.
(5) The company may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibited under Subsection (4) either on:
(a) financial statements prepared on the basis of accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances; or
(b) a fair valuation or other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.
(6) For purposes of this section, amounts constituting reasonable compensation for present or past services or reasonable payments made in the ordinary course of business pursuant to a bona fide retirement plan or other benefits program do not constitute a distribution.
