(2) charged with an amount equal to the money plus the value of any other property, net of the amount of any liabilities, distributed by the partnership to the partner and the partner's share of the partnership losses provided that a partner shall not be charged with any share of partnership loss attributable to a debt, obligation or liability for which the partner is not personally liable under Section 10A-8-3.06 unless the loss is satisfied out of partnership assets.
