(3) A charging order constitutes a lien on the judgment debtor's distributional interest. The court may order a foreclosure of a lien on a distributional interest subject to the charging order at any time. A purchaser of the distributional interest at a foreclosure sale has the rights of a transferee.
(4) At any time before foreclosure, a distributional interest that is charged may be redeemed:

(b) by one or more of the other members with property other than the company's; or
(c) with the company's property if permitted by the operating agreement.
(5) This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a member or a transferee may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's distributional interest in a limited liability company.
