(d) If the legal representative under subsection (b) declines or fails to wind up the company's business, a person may be appointed to do so by the consent of transferees owning a majority of the rights to receive distributions as transferees at the time the consent is to be effective. A person appointed under this subsection: (1) has the powers of a sole manager under subsection (b) of Section 15-1 and is deemed to be a manager for the purposes of subsection (a) of Section 10-10; and (2) shall promptly deliver to the Secretary of State for filing an amendment to the company's articles of organization to: (A) state that the company has no members; (B) state that the person has been appointed pursuant to this subsection to wind up the company; and (C) provide the mailing addresses of the person. (e) The circuit court may order judicial supervision of the winding up of a dissolved limited liability company, including the appointment of a person to wind up the company's business: (1) on application of a member, if the applicant establishes good cause; (2) on the application of a transferee, if: (A) the company does not have any members; (B) the legal representative of the last person to have been a member declines or fails to wind up the company's business; and (C) within a reasonable time following the dissolution a person has not been appointed pursuant to subsection (d); or (3) in connection with a proceeding under subdivision (4) of subsection (a) of Section 35-1.
