(1) A registered limited liability partnership shall not make a distribution to the extent that at the time of the distribution and after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities for the registered limited liability partnership exceed the fair value of the assets of the registered limited liability partnership, other than liabilities to partners or transferees on account of their transferable interest in liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specified property. The fair value of property that is subject to a liability for which the recourse of partners is limited shall be included in the assets of the registered limited liability partnership only to the extent that the fair value of that property exceeds that liability.

A proceeding under this section shall be barred unless it is commenced within two (2) years after the date on which the distribution is paid to the partner or transferee.
(3) This section does not affect any obligation or liability of a partner or transferee of a registered limited liability partnership under an agreement or other applicable law for the amount of a distribution.
(4) For purposes of this section, the term “distribution” does not include 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.
