2. (2) if the plaintiff or its counsel receives any proceeds, the proceeds shall be remitted immediately to the company.
(b) Expenses.— If a derivative action is successful in whole or in part, the court may award the plaintiff reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, from the recovery of the limited liability company, but in no event shall the attorney fees awarded exceed a reasonable proportion of the value of the relief, including nonpecuniary relief, obtained by the plaintiff for the company.
