(b) Does not by itself cause a member to cease to be associated with a series of the limited liability company.

(3) Does not by itself cause a dissolution and winding up of the limited liability company, or a series thereof;

(B) An assignee has the right to receive, in accordance with the assignment, distributions to which the assignor would otherwise be entitled.

(C) A membership interest may be evidenced by a certificate of membership interest issued by the limited liability company, or a series thereof. An operating agreement may provide for the assignment of the membership interest represented by the certificate and make other provisions with respect to the certificate.

(D) A limited liability company, or a series thereof, shall not issue a certificate of membership interest in bearer form.

(E) A limited liability company, or a series thereof, need not give effect to an assignee's rights under this section until the limited liability company, or a series thereof, has notice of the assignment.
