§ 23-18-1-7. "Distribution"

Sec. 7. "Distribution" means a direct or an indirect transfer of money or other property or the incurrence or the transfer of indebtedness by a limited liability company to or for the benefit of its members in respect of their interests in the limited liability company. A distribution may be in the form of a declaration or payment of a dividend, purchase, redemption, or other acquisition of an interest, a distribution of indebtedness, or otherwise. The term does not include:

(1) amounts constituting reasonable compensation for past or present services or reasonable payments made in the ordinary course of business under a bona fide retirement plan or other benefit program; or

(2) the making of or payment or performance upon a bona fide guaranty or similar arrangement by a limited liability company to or for the benefit of its members.

However, the failure of an amount to satisfy subdivision (1), or of a payment or performance to satisfy subdivision (2), is not determinative of whether the amount, payment, or performance is a distribution.
