1.  Transferable interest.
A transfer, in whole or in part, of a transferable interest:
A. Is permissible;   [PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §3 (AFF).]

C. Subject to section 1574, does not entitle the transferee to:

3.  Evidence.
A transferable interest may be evidenced by a certificate of transferable interest issued by a limited liability company.

5.  Rights and duties of member after transfer.
Except as otherwise provided in section 1582, subsection 4, paragraph B and section 1582, subsection 11, when a member transfers a transferable interest, the transferor retains the rights of a member other than the interest in distributions transferred and retains all duties and obligations of a member.
[PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §3 (AFF).]
