(a) a statement of the company's assets and liabilities as of the date determined under subsection (1);

(c) an explanation of how the estimated amount of the payment was calculated.
(3) If the price and other terms of a purchase of a distributional interest are fixed or are to be determined by the operating agreement, the price and terms so fixed or determined govern the purchase unless the purchaser defaults. If a default occurs, the dissociated member is entitled to commence a proceeding to have the company dissolved under 35-8-902 (1)(d).
(4) If an agreement to purchase the distributional interest is not made within 120 days after the date determined under subsection (1), the dissociated member, within another 120 days, may commence a proceeding against the limited liability company to enforce the purchase.
