     (i) state in its articles of organization that it is a low-profit limited liability company;
     (ii) organize under this chapter; and
     (iii) be organized for a business purpose that satisfies, and at all times operates to satisfy each of the requirements under Subsection (1)(b).
     (b) A low-profit limited liability company:
     (i) shall significantly further the accomplishment of one or more charitable or educational purposes within the meaning of Section 170(c)(2)(B), Internal Revenue Code;
     (ii) shall demonstrate that it would not be formed but for the company's relationship to the accomplishment of a charitable or educational purpose;

     (iv) may not have as a purpose to accomplish one or more political or legislative purposes within the meaning of Section 170(c)(2)(D), Internal Revenue Code.
     (2) (a) If a company that is a low-profit limited liability company at its formation at any time ceases to meet a requirement to be a low-profit limited liability company under Subsection (1), the company:
     (i) ceases to be a low-profit limited liability company on the day on which the company no longer meets the requirement; and
     (ii) if it continues to meet the requirements of this chapter to be a limited liability company, continues to exist as a limited liability company that is not a low-profit limited liability company.
     (b) A low-profit limited liability company's failure to meet a requirement of Subsection (1) may be:

     (3) Notwithstanding Subsection (1), if a low-profit limited liability company produces significant income or capital appreciation, in the absence of other factors, the fact that the low-profit limited liability company produces significant income or capital appreciation is not conclusive evidence of a significant purpose involving the production of income or the appreciation of property.
