(b) A person that becomes a general partner of an existing limited partnership is not personally liable for any debt, obligation, or liability of a limited partnership incurred before the person became a general partner.
(c) A debt, obligation, or liability of a limited partnership incurred while the limited partnership is a limited liability limited partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, is solely the debt, obligation, or liability of the limited partnership. A general partner of a limited liability limited partnership is not personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of indemnification, contribution, assessment or otherwise, for such a debt, obligation, or liability solely by reason of being or acting, or omitting to act, as a general partner. This subsection applies despite anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the consent required to become a limited liability limited partnership under Section 10A-9A-4.06(b)(2).
