2. Subject to the provisions of NRS 78.747 , this section:
(a) Provides the exclusive remedy by which a
judgment creditor of a stockholder or an assignee of a stockholder may satisfy
a judgment out of the stock of the judgment debtor. No other remedy, including,
without limitation, foreclosure on the stockholders stock or a court order for
directions, accounts and inquiries that the debtor or stockholder might have
made, is available to the judgment creditor attempting to satisfy the judgment
out of the judgment debtors interest in the corporation, and no other remedy
may be ordered by a court.

benefit of any exemption applicable to the stockholders stock.

(3) Is not a professional corporation as
defined in NRS 89.020 .
(d) Does not apply to any liability of a
stockholder that exists as the result of an action filed before July 1, 2007.
(e) Does not supersede any written agreement
between a stockholder and a creditor if the written agreement does not conflict
with the corporations articles of incorporation, bylaws or any shareholder
agreement to which the stockholder is a party.
3. As used in this section, rights of an
assignee means the rights to receive the share of the distributions or
dividends paid by the corporation to which the judgment debtor would otherwise
be entitled. The term does not include the rights to participate in the
management of the business or affairs of the corporation or to become a
director of the corporation.
