(c) The superior court is hereby vested with exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether or not a person seeking information under RSA 304-C:55 is entitled to the information.

(e) The superior court may summarily order the limited liability company to furnish to the demanding member or manager the information described in RSA 304-C:55, I on the condition that the demanding member or manager first pay to the limited liability company the reasonable cost of obtaining and furnishing the information and on such other conditions as the superior court deems appropriate.
(f) When a demanding member seeks to obtain or a manager seeks to examine the information described in RSA 304-C:55, I the demanding member or manager shall first establish (1) that the demanding member or manager has complied with the provisions of this section respecting the form and manner of making demand for obtaining or examining of such information; and (2) that the information the demanding member or manager seeks is reasonably related to the member's interest as a member or to the manager's position as a manager.
(g) The superior court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the obtaining or examining of information and may award any other relief which the superior court deems just and proper.
(h) The superior court may order books, documents, and records, pertinent extracts of them or duly authenticated copies of them to be brought into this state and to be kept in this state upon such terms and conditions as the order may prescribe.
