(1) If a partner is
dissociated from a partnership without resulting in a dissolution and winding up of
the partnership business under section 7-64-801, the partnership shall cause the
dissociated partner's interest in the partnership to be purchased for a buyout price
determined pursuant to subsection (2) of this section.
(2) The buyout price of a dissociated partner's interest is an amount equal to
the value of the partner's interest in the partnership. Interest shall be paid from the
date of dissociation to the date of payment.
(3) Damages for wrongful dissociation under section 7-64-602 (2), and all
other amounts owing, whether or not presently due, from the dissociated partner to
the partnership, shall be offset against the buyout price. Interest shall be paid from
the date the amount owed becomes due to the date of payment.
(4) A partnership shall indemnify a dissociated partner whose interest is
being purchased against all partnership obligations, whether incurred before or
after the dissociation, except partnership obligations incurred by an act of the
dissociated partner under section 7-64-702.
(5) If no agreement for the purchase of a dissociated partner's interest is
reached within one hundred twenty days after a written demand for payment, the
partnership shall pay, or cause to be paid, in cash to the dissociated partner the
amount the partnership estimates to be the buyout price and accrued interest,
reduced by any offsets and accrued interest under subsection (3) of this section.
(6) If a deferred payment is authorized under subsection (8) of this section,
the partnership may tender a written offer to pay the amount it estimates to be the
buyout price and accrued interest, reduced by any offsets under subsection (3) of
this section, stating the time of payment, the amount and type of security for
payment, and the other terms and conditions of the obligation.
(7) The payment or tender required by subsection (5) or (6) of this section
shall be accompanied by the following:
(a) A written statement of partnership assets and liabilities as of the date of
dissociation;
(b) The latest available partnership balance sheet and income statement, if
any;
(c) A written explanation of how the estimated amount of the payment was
calculated; and
(d) A written statement that the payment is in full satisfaction of the
obligation to purchase unless, within one hundred twenty days after receipt of the
written statement, the dissociated partner commences an action to determine the
buyout price, any offsets under subsection (3) of this section, or other terms of the
obligation to purchase.
(8) Payment of any portion of the buyout price to a partner who wrongfully
dissociates before the expiration of a definite term or the completion of a particular
undertaking may be deferred until the expiration of the term or completion of the
undertaking, unless the partner establishes to the satisfaction of the court that
earlier payment will not cause undue hardship to the business of the partnership. A
deferred payment shall be adequately secured and bear interest.
(9) A dissociated partner may maintain an action against the partnership,
pursuant to section 7-64-405 (2)(b)(II), to determine the buyout price of that
partner's interest, any offsets under subsection (3) of this section, or other terms of
the obligation to purchase. The action shall be commenced within one hundred
twenty days after the partnership has tendered payment or an offer to pay or within
one year after written demand for payment if no payment or offer to pay is
tendered. The court shall determine the buyout price of the dissociated partner's
interest, any offset due under subsection (3) of this section, and accrued interest
and enter judgment for any additional payment or refund. If deferred payment is
authorized under subsection (8) of this section, the court shall also determine the
security for payment and other terms of the obligation to purchase. The court may
assess reasonable attorneys' fees and the fees and expenses of appraisers or other
experts for a party to the action, in amounts the court finds equitable, against a
party that the court finds acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith. The
finding may be based on the partnership's failure to tender payment or an offer to
pay or to comply with subsection (7) of this section.
