(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, all partners are liable jointly and severally for all obligations of the partnership unless otherwise agreed by the claimant or provided by law.  (b) A person admitted as a partner into an existing partnership is not personally liable for any partnership obligation incurred before the person's admission as a partner.  (c) An obligation of a partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, is solely the obligation of the partnership. A partner is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for such an obligation solely by reason of being or so acting as a partner. This subsection applies notwithstanding anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the vote required to become a limited liability partnership under subsection (b) of Section 55 of this act.  Added by Laws 1997, c. 399, • 18, eff.

A judgment against a partnership may not be satisfied from a partner's assets unless there is also a judgment against the partner.  (d) A judgment creditor of a partner may not levy execution against the assets of the partner to satisfy a judgment based on a claim against the partnership unless the partner is personally liable for the claim under Section 18 of this act and:  (1) a judgment based on the same claim has been obtained against the partnership and a writ of execution on the judgment has been returned unsatisfied in whole or in part;  (2) the partnership is a debtor in bankruptcy;  (3) the partner has agreed that the creditor need not exhaust partnership assets;  (4) a court grants permission to the judgment creditor to levy execution against the assets of a partner based on a finding that partnership assets subject to execution are clearly insufficient to satisfy the judgment, that exhaustion of partnership assets is excessively burdensome, or that the grant of permission is an appropriate exercise of the court's equitable powers; or  (5) liability is imposed on the partner by law or contract independent of the existence of the partnership.  (e) This section applies to any partnership liability or obligation resulting from a representation by a partner or purported partner under Section 20 of this act.  Added by Laws 1997, c. 399, • 19, eff.

(a) If a person, by words or conduct, purports to be a partner, or consents to being represented by another as a partner, in a partnership or with one or more persons not partners, the purported partner is liable to a person to whom the representation is made, if that person, relying on the representation, enters into a transaction with the actual or purported partnership. If the representation, either by the purported partner or by a person with the purported partner's consent, is made in a public manner, the purported partner is liable to a person who relies upon the purported partnership even if the purported partner is not aware of being held out as a partner to the claimant. If partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to that liability as if the purported partner were a partner. If no partnership liability results, the purported partner is liable with respect to that liability jointly and severally with any other person consenting to the representation.  (b) If a person is thus represented to be a partner in an existing partnership, or with one or more persons not partners, the purported partner is an agent of persons consenting to the representation to bind them to the same extent and in the same manner as if the purported partner were a partner, with respect to persons who enter into transactions in reliance upon the representation. If all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, a partnership act or obligation results. If fewer than all of the partners of the existing partnership consent to the representation, the person acting and the partners consenting to the representation are jointly and severally liable.  (c) A person is not liable as a partner merely because the person is named by another in a statement of partnership authority.  (d) A person does not continue to be liable as a partner merely because of a failure to file a statement of dissociation or to amend a statement of partnership authority to indicate the partner's dissociation from the partnership.  (e) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, persons who are not partners as to each other are not liable as partners to other persons.  Added by Laws 1997, c. 399, • 20, eff.

The policy or policies of insurance may be issued on a claims-made or occurrence basis; provided, that the total aggregate limit of liability thereof equals or exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). The impairment or exhaustion of such aggregate limit of liability by amounts paid under the policy in connection with the settlement, discharge, or defense of claims shall not require the partnership to acquire additional insurance coverage for the policy period to which the impairment or exhaustion applies.

When a business entity has converted to a domestic limited partnership under this section, the domestic limited partnership shall be deemed to be the same entity as the converting business entity. All of the rights, privileges and powers of the business entity that has converted, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the business entity, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the business entity, shall remain vested in the domestic limited partnership and shall be the property of the domestic limited partnership, and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in the business entity shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the conversion; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the business entity shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the business entity that has converted shall remain attached to the domestic limited partnership, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities and duties had been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as a domestic limited partnership.

A domestic limited partnership may convert to a business entity upon the authorization of the conversion in accordance with this section.  B. If the partnership agreement specifies the manner of authorizing a conversion of the limited partnership, the conversion shall be authorized as specified in the partnership agreement.  C. If the partnership agreement does not specify the manner of authorizing a conversion of the limited partnership and does not prohibit a conversion of the limited partnership, the conversion shall be authorized in the same manner as is specified in the partnership agreement for authorizing a merger or consolidation that involves the limited partnership as a constituent party to the merger or consolidation.  D. If the partnership agreement does not specify the manner of authorizing a conversion of the limited partnership or a merger or consolidation that involves the limited partnership as a constituent party and does not prohibit a conversion of the limited partnership, the conversion shall be authorized by the approval:  1. By all general partners; and  2.

Unless otherwise agreed, the conversion of a domestic limited partnership to a business entity pursuant to this section shall not require the limited partnership to wind up its affairs or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets, and the conversion shall not constitute a dissolution of the limited partnership.  F. In a conversion of a domestic limited partnership to a business entity under this section, rights or securities of or interests in the domestic limited partnership that are to be converted may be exchanged for or converted into cash, property, rights or securities of or interests in the business entity to which the domestic limited partnership is being converted or, in addition to or in lieu thereof, may be exchanged for or converted into cash, property, rights or securities of or interests in another business entity or may be canceled.  G. If the governing act of the domestic business entity to which the limited partnership is converting does not provide for the filing of a conversion notice with the Secretary of State or the limited partnership is converting to a foreign business entity, the certificate of conversion executed in accordance with Section 312 of this title shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State in accordance with Section 314 of this title. The certificate of conversion shall state:  1. The name of the limited partnership and, if it has been changed, the name under which its certificate of limited partnership was originally filed;  2. The date of filing of its original certificate of limited partnership with the Secretary of State;  3. The name of the business entity to which the limited partnership is converting and its jurisdiction of formation, if a foreign business entity;  4.

If the domestic business entity to which the domestic limited partnership is converting was required to make a filing with the Secretary of State as a condition of its formation, the type and date of such filing.  H. Upon the filing of a conversion notice with the Secretary of State, whether under subsection G of this section or under the governing act of the domestic business entity to which the limited partnership is converting, the filing of any formation document required by the governing act of the domestic business entity to which the limited partnership is converting, and payment to the Secretary of State of all prescribed fees, the Secretary of State shall certify that the limited partnership has filed all documents and paid all required fees, and thereupon the limited partnership shall cease to exist as a limited partnership of this state. The Secretary of State’s certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the conversion by the limited partnership.  I. The conversion of a limited partnership to a business entity under this section and the resulting cessation of its existence as a domestic limited partnership under a certificate of conversion to a foreign business entity shall not be deemed to affect any obligations or liabilities of the limited partnership incurred before the conversion or the personal liability of any person incurred before the conversion, nor shall it be deemed to affect the choice of law applicable to the limited partnership with respect to matters arising before the conversion.  J. When a limited partnership has converted to a business entity under this section, the business entity shall be deemed to be the same entity as the limited partnership. All of the rights, privileges and powers of the limited partnership that has converted, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to the limited partnership, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the limited partnership, shall remain vested in the business entity to which the limited partnership has converted and shall be the property of the business entity, and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in the limited partnership shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the conversion; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of the limited partnership shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the limited partnership that has converted shall remain attached to the business entity to which the limited partnership has converted, and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if the debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as the business entity.

A domestic limited partnership or foreign limited partnership that fails to file the annual certificate and pay the annual certificate fee within sixty (60) days after the date due shall cease to be in good standing as a domestic limited partnership or registered as a foreign limited partnership in this state.  E. Except for accepting a certificate of resignation of a registered agent when a successor registered agent is not being appointed or an application for reinstatement, the Secretary of State shall not accept for filing any certificate or articles, or issue any certificate of good standing, in respect to any domestic limited partnership that has ceased to be in good standing or foreign limited partnership that has ceased to be registered, unless or until the domestic limited partnership has been reinstated as a domestic limited partnership in good standing or the foreign limited partnership has been reinstated as a foreign limited partnership duly registered in this state.  F.

The application for reinstatement may amend a limited partnership’s certificate of limited partnership or certificate of registration, as the case may be, subject to the payment of the additional fee required in Section 314 for amendments; provided, that the application may not extend the term of a limited partnership that had expired before the application for reinstatement.  H.
