(1) the corporation’s principal office is located; or

(2) if the principal office is not located in Indiana, the corporation’s registered office is located;

may order inspection and copying of the records demanded at the corporation’s expense upon application of the member.

(1) the corporation’s principal office is located; or

(2) if the principal office is not located in Indiana, the corporation’s registered office is located;

for an order to permit inspection and copying of the records demanded. The court shall dispose of an application under this subsection on an expedited basis.

     (c) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, the court shall also order the corporation to pay the member’s costs, including reasonable attorney‘s fees, incurred to obtain the order unless the corporation proves that the corporation refused inspection in good faith because the corporation had a reasonable basis for doubt about the right of the member to inspect the records demanded.

     (d) If the court orders inspection and copying of the records demanded, the court may impose reasonable restrictions on the use or distribution of the records by the demanding member.
