(c) An obligation of a partnership incurred while the partnership is a limited liability partnership, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be solely the debt, obligation, or other liability of the partnership. A partner shall not be personally liable, directly or indirectly, by way of contribution or otherwise, for such a debt, obligation, or other liability solely by reason of being or so acting as a partner. This subsection shall apply notwithstanding anything inconsistent in the partnership agreement that existed immediately before the vote required to become a limited liability partnership under § 29-610.01(b) .

(d) The failure of a limited liability partnership to observe any formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business is not a ground for imposing liability on any partner of the partnership for any debt, obligation, or other liability of the partnership.

(e) The cancellation or administrative revocation of a limited liability partnership’s statement of qualification does not affect this section’s limitation on the liability of a partner for a debt, obligation, or other liability of the partnership incurred while the statement was in effect.
