The withdrawal of a general partner who is also a limited partner does not constitute withdrawal of the partner as a limited partner or affect the partner’s rights as a limited partner.
29-333. Withdrawal of limited partner
A limited partner may withdraw from a limited partnership at the time or upon the happening of events specified in writing in the partnership agreement. If the agreement does not specify in writing the time or the events upon the happening of which a limited partner may withdraw or a definite time for the dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership, a limited partner may withdraw upon not less than six months' prior written notice to each general partner at his address on the books of the limited partnership at its office in this state.
29-334. Distribution on withdrawal
A. On the withdrawal of a limited partner, except as otherwise provided in writing in the partnership agreement, the withdrawn limited partner and his personal representatives, successors and assigns do not have the right to receive any distribution by reason of withdrawal, but have only the rights of an assignee of the withdrawn limited partner's interest in the partnership to receive distributions with respect to the limited partner's interest during any continuation and during and on completion of any winding up of the limited partnership, less any damages recoverable against the withdrawn partner if the withdrawal violated the provisions of the partnership agreement.
B. If a general partner withdraws and within ninety days thereafter the limited partnership dissolves and commences to wind up its business, except as otherwise provided in a partnership agreement, the withdrawn general partner and the partner's personal representatives, successors and assigns do not have the right to receive any distribution by reason of the withdrawal but only have the rights of an assignee of the withdrawn general partner's interest in the limited partnership to receive distributions with respect to the general partner's interest during any continuation of the business of the partnership and during and on completion of winding up. If the event of withdrawal violated the partnership agreement, any damages recoverable from the withdrawn general partner shall be subtracted from this distribution.
C. If a general partner withdraws and within ninety days thereafter the limited partnership has not dissolved and commenced winding up of the partnership business, except as otherwise provided in writing in the partnership agreement, the partnership shall cause the withdrawn general partner's interest, if any, in the partnership to be purchased for a buyout price equal to the amount that would have been distributable to the withdrawn general partner under section 29-1077, subsection B if, on the date of withdrawal, the assets of the partnership were sold at a price equal to the greater of the liquidation value or the value based on a sale of the entire business as a going concern without the continuing services of any of the partners and the partnership was wound up as of that date, with interest payable from the date of withdrawal to the date of payment. Except as may be provided in writing in the partnership agreement, payment of this buyout price is subject to the following terms:
1. Damages for wrongful withdrawal and all other amounts owing, whether or not presently due, from the withdrawn general partner to the partnership shall be offset against the buyout price. Interest on these damages shall be paid from the date the amount owed becomes due to the date of payment.
2. A partnership shall indemnify a withdrawn general partner whose interest is being purchased against all partnership liabilities, whether incurred before or after the withdrawal, except:
(a) Liabilities incurred by an act of the withdrawn general partner under section 29-1062.
(b) Liabilities for which the partner was not liable pursuant to section 29-215 or 29-1026.
3. If no agreement for the purchase of a withdrawn general 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 withdrawn general partner the amount, if any, the partnership estimates to be the buyout price and accrued interest, reduced by any offsets and accrued interest under paragraph 1.
4. If a deferred payment is authorized under paragraph 6, the partnership may tender, in lieu of payment under paragraph 3, a written offer to pay the amount it estimates to be the buyout price and accrued interest, reduced by any offsets under paragraph 1, stating the terms of payment, the amount and type of security for payment and the other terms and conditions of the obligation.
5. The payment or tender required by paragraph 3 or 4 shall be accompanied by the following:
(a) A written statement of partnership assets and liabilities as of the date of withdrawal.
(b) The latest available partnership balance sheet and income statement, if any.
(c) A written explanation of how the estimated amount of payment was calculated.
(d) Written notice that the payment is in full satisfaction of the obligation to purchase unless within one hundred twenty days after the written notice the withdrawn general partner commences an action to determine the buyout price, any offsets under paragraph 1 or other terms of the obligation to purchase.
6. A general partner who wrongfully withdraws before the expiration of a definite term or the completion of a particular undertaking is not entitled to payment of any portion of the buyout price 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 material hardship to the business of the partnership. A deferred payment shall bear interest and shall be adequately secured by partnership assets if and to the extent reasonably practicable.
7. A withdrawn general partner may maintain an action against the partnership, pursuant to section 29-1035, subsection B, paragraph 2, subdivision (b), to determine the buyout price of that partner's interest, any offsets under paragraph 1 or other terms of the obligation to purchase. The action shall be commenced within one hundred twenty days after the partnership tenders 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 withdrawn general partner's interest, any offset due under paragraph 1 and accrued interest and shall enter a judgment for any additional payment or refund. If deferred payment is authorized under paragraph 4, the court shall also determine the security for payment and other terms of the obligation to purchase. The court may assess reasonable attorney 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 in compliance with paragraph 3 or 4.
29-335. Distribution in kind
Except as provided in writing in the partnership agreement, a partner, regardless of the nature of his contribution, has no right to demand and receive any distribution from a limited partnership in any form other than cash. Except as provided in writing in the partnership agreement, a partner may not be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind from a limited partnership to the extent that the percentage of the asset distributed to him exceeds a percentage of that asset which is equal to the percentage in which he shares in distributions from the limited partnership.
29-336. Right to distribution
At the time a partner becomes entitled to receive a distribution, he has the status of, and is entitled to all remedies available to, a creditor of the limited partnership with respect to the distribution.
29-337. Limitations on distribution; treatment as income
A. A partner may not receive a distribution from a limited partnership to the extent that, after giving effect to the distribution, all liabilities of the limited partnership, other than liabilities to partners on account of their partnership interests, exceed the fair value of the partnership assets.
B. Except as otherwise provided in the partnership agreement or the trust instrument, a distribution to a partner that is a charitable remainder trust as defined in section 664(d) of the internal revenue code is income for the purposes of title 14, chapter 7, article 4 to the extent that the value of the partnership interest after distribution is equal to or greater than its value at the date of contribution of the partnership interest to the charitable remainder trust. In this section, "internal revenue code" has the same meaning prescribed in section 43-105.
29-338. Liability on return of contribution
A. If a partner has received the return of any part of his contribution without violation of the partnership agreement or this chapter, he is liable to the limited partnership for a period of one year thereafter for the amount of the returned contribution, but only to the extent necessary to discharge the limited partnership's liabilities to creditors who extended credit to the limited partnership during the period the contribution was held by the partnership.
B. If a partner has received the return of any part of his contribution in violation of the partnership agreement or this chapter, he is liable to the limited partnership for a period of six years thereafter for the amount of the contribution wrongfully returned.
C. A partner receives a return of his contribution to the extent that a distribution to him reduces his share of the fair value of the net assets of the limited partnership below the value as set forth in the partnership records required to be kept pursuant to section 29-305 of his contribution which has not been distributed to him.
29-339. Nature of partnership interest
A partnership interest is personal property.
29-340. Assignment of partnership interest
Except as provided in the partnership agreement, a partnership interest is assignable in whole or in part. An assignment of a partnership interest does not dissolve a limited partnership or entitle the assignee to become or to exercise any rights of a partner. An assignment entitles the assignee to receive, to the extent assigned, only the distribution to which the assignor would be entitled. Except as provided in the partnership agreement, a partner ceases to be a partner upon assignment of all his partnership interest.
29-341. Rights of judgment creditor
On application to a court of competent jurisdiction by any judgment creditor of a partner, the court may charge the partnership interest of the partner with payment of the unsatisfied amount of the judgment with interest. To the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the rights of an assignee of the partner's partnership interest. This chapter does not deprive any partner of the benefit of any exemption laws applicable to his partnership interest. This section provides the exclusive remedy by which a judgment creditor of a partner may satisfy a judgment out of the judgment debtor's interest in the partnership.
29-342. Right of assignee to become limited partner
A. An assignee of a partnership interest, including an assignee of a general partner, may become a limited partner if and to the extent that:
1. The assignor gives the assignee that right in accordance with authority described in the partnership agreement; or
2. All other partners consent.
B. An assignee who has become a limited partner has, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities of a limited partner under the partnership agreement and this chapter. An assignee who becomes a limited partner also is liable for the obligations of his assignor to make and return contributions as provided in articles 5 and 6 of this chapter. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities unknown to the assignee at the time he became a limited partner.
C. If an assignee of a partnership interest becomes a limited partner, the assignor is not released from his liability to the limited partnership under sections 29-314 and 29-328.
29-343. Power of estate of deceased or incompetent partner
If a partner who is an individual dies or a court of competent jurisdiction adjudges him to be incompetent to manage his person or his property the partner's executor, administrator guardian, conservator or other legal representative may exercise all the partner's rights for the purpose of settling his estate or administering his property, including any power the partner had to give an assignee the right to become a limited partner. If a partner is a corporation, trust or other entity and is dissolved or terminated, the powers of that partner may be exercised by its legal representative or successor.
29-344. Nonjudicial dissolution
A limited partnership is dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the happening of the first to occur of the following:
1. At the time, if any, specified in the certificate of limited partnership.
2. Upon the happening of events specified in writing in the partnership agreement.
3. Written consent of all partners.
4. An event of withdrawal of a general partner if there is no remaining general partner unless all the limited partners, or a lesser number or percentage of limited partners specified in the partnership agreement, agree to the continuation of the business of the limited partnership and to the appointment of one or more additional general partners within ninety days after the event of withdrawal, or such greater period as may be specified in the partnership agreement.
5. Entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under section 29-345.
29-345. Judicial dissolution
On application by or for a partner or assignee or any other successor in interest of a partner, the superior court may decree dissolution of a limited partnership whenever it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in conformity with the partnership agreement.
29-346. Winding up
Except as provided in the partnership agreement, the general partners who have not wrongfully dissolved a limited partnership or, if none, the limited partners may wind up the limited partnership's affairs, but the superior court may wind up the limited partnership's affairs upon application of any partner, his legal representative or assignee.
29-347. Distribution of assets
Upon the winding up of a limited partnership, the assets shall be distributed as follows:
1. To creditors, including partners who are creditors, to the extent permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the limited partnership other than liabilities for distributions to partners under section 29-331 or 29-334;
2. Except as provided in the partnership agreement, to partners and former partners in satisfaction of liabilities for distributions under section 29-331 or 29-334; and
3. Except as provided in the partnership agreement, to partners first for the return of their contributions and secondly respecting their partnership interests, in the proportions in which the partners share in distributions.
29-348. Law governing

29-353. Cancellation of registration
A foreign limited partnership may cancel its registration by filing with the secretary of state a certificate of cancellation signed and sworn to by a general partner. A cancellation does not terminate the authority of the secretary of state to accept service of process on the foreign limited partnership with respect to causes of action arising out of the transactions of business in this state.
29-354. Transaction of business without registration
A. A foreign limited partnership transacting business in this state may not maintain any action, suit or proceeding in any court of this state until it has registered in this state.
B. The failure of a foreign limited partnership to register in this state does not impair the validity of any contract or act of the foreign limited partnership or prevent the foreign limited partnership from defending any action, suit or proceeding in any court of this state.
C. A limited partner of a foreign limited partnership is not liable as a general partner of the foreign limited partnership solely by reason of having transacted business in this state without registration.
D. A foreign limited partnership, by transacting business in this state without registration, appoints the secretary of state as its agent for service of process with respect to causes of action arising out of the transaction of business in this state.
E. Without excluding other activities which may not constitute transacting business in this state, a foreign limited partnership is not considered to be transacting business in this state, for the purposes of this chapter, solely because it is carrying on in this state one or more of the following activities:
1. Maintaining, defending or effecting a settlement of an action or suit or an administrative or arbitrative proceeding or effecting the settlement of a claim or dispute.
2. Holding meetings of its partners or carrying on any other activities concerning its internal affairs.

29-356. Right of action
A limited partner may bring an action in the right of a limited partnership to recover a judgment in its favor if general partners with authority to do so have refused to bring the action or if an effort to cause those general partners to bring the action is not likely to succeed.

In a derivative action, the complaint shall set forth with particularity the effort of the plaintiff to secure initiation of the action by a general partner or the reasons for not making the effort.
29-359. Expenses

29-360. Construction and application
This chapter shall be so applied and construed to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law with respect to the subject of this act among states enacting it.
29-361. Short title
This chapter may be cited as the uniform limited partnership act.
29-362. Severability
If any provision of this chapter or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are severable.

Qualification as a limited liability partnership is an election to be governed by chapter 5 of this title.
29-364. Application to existing limited partnership; definition
A. For purposes of this chapter a limited partnership formed under any prior statute of this state and in existence on July 24, 1982 is deemed an existing limited partnership. An existing limited partnership and its partners are governed by this chapter and have the same rights and are subject to the same limitations, restrictions and liabilities as a limited partnership formed under this chapter and its partners, except as follows:
1. The partners of an existing limited partnership are not required to execute and file a certificate of limited partnership under this chapter in order to maintain continued existence as a limited partnership under this chapter. As used in this chapter with respect to an existing limited partnership, unless the context otherwise requires, "certificate of limited partnership" means the certificate of limited partnership executed and filed or recorded pursuant to the statute under which such limited partnership was formed, and the certificate as amended or restated.
2. The provisions of this chapter relating to the events requiring, and the method of effecting, an amendment or cancellation of a certificate of limited partnership apply to an existing limited partnership to the same extent and in the same way such provisions apply to a limited partnership formed under this chapter, except that the first amendment of the certificate of limited partnership of an existing limited partnership made after July 24, 1982 shall be effected by the execution and filing of a certificate of amendment setting forth all of the information specified in section 29-308, subsection A. Such information shall be current as of the date of the filing of the certificate of amendment which may be in the form of a restated certificate of limited partnership. The execution and filing of such certificate of amendment shall not result in the dissolution or in any way adversely affect the continued existence of the existing limited partnership.
3. An existing limited partnership is not subject to section 29-302, paragraph 1 or 3 with respect to its name as set forth in its certificate of limited partnership on July 24, 1982, but it becomes subject to such provisions if, and at the time, any change in its name is made after July 24, 1982, except that the addition of the words "limited partnership" to an existing limited partnership's name is not, for the purpose of this section, deemed a change of name.
4. An existing limited partnership is not subject to section 29-304, paragraph 2 until the execution and filing with the secretary of state of the certificate of amendment referred to in paragraph 2 of this subsection, at which time the general partners of an existing limited partnership shall have the obligation, and the right and power, to appoint and thereafter continuously maintain an agent for service of process as required by section 29-304, paragraph 2.
5. The references in this chapter to the date of the filing of a limited partnership's original certificate of limited partnership mean, with respect to an existing limited partnership, the date on which the existing limited partnership's original certificate of limited partnership was filed or recorded pursuant to the statute under which it was formed.
6. A certificate of amendment, a restated certificate of limited partnership or a certificate of cancellation with respect to an existing limited partnership, in addition to setting forth the information specified in section 29-309, subsection A, section 29-309, subsection F or section 29-310, shall state the place where the original certificate of limited partnership was filed or recorded.
7. Sections 29-327, 29-328 and 29-338 apply only to contributions and distributions made after July 24, 1982.
8. Section 29-342 applies only to assignments made after July 24, 1982.
9. Unless otherwise agreed to by the partners, the applicable provisions of prior statutes governing allocation of profits and losses rather than section 29-329, distributions to a withdrawing partner rather than section 29-334 and distributions of assets on the winding up of a limited partnership rather than section 29-347 govern limited partnerships formed before July 24, 1982.
B. From and after July 24, 1982, all amendments to, restatements or any cancellation of the certificate of limited partnership of an existing limited partnership shall be filed with the secretary of state and no such amendment, restatement or cancellation shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of any county of this state.
C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, on or before December 31, 1984, every existing limited partnership shall execute and file with the secretary of state a certificate of amendment which conforms to the requirements of subsection A, paragraphs 2, 4 and 6 of this section. Failure to execute and file such an amendment shall not result in the dissolution or in any way adversely affect the continued existence of the existing limited partnership. However, such existing limited partnership may not maintain any action, suit or proceeding in any court of this state after December 31, 1984, until such an amendment has been filed.
29-365. Effect of enactment on accrued rights
The enactment of this chapter does not affect any right accrued or established or any liability or penalty incurred under any prior statute relating to limited partnerships.
29-366. Fees

2. Has a name that complies with the requirements of sections 29-302 and 29-1102.
B. In applying section 29-1101 to a limited partnership, all references to partners mean general partners.

29-370. Action on plan
The plan must be approved by all of the partners or a number or percentage specified for the transaction in the partnership agreement.
29-373. Effect of transaction; definition
A. If the post-transaction entity is a domestic limited partnership, a partner of the post-transaction entity is liable for:
1. All obligations of an entity that is a party to or otherwise undertakes the transaction for which the partner was personally liable before the transaction.
2. All other obligations of the post-transaction entity incurred before the transaction by an entity that is a party to or otherwise undertakes the transaction, but those obligations may be satisfied only out of property of the post-transaction entity.
3. All obligations of the post-transaction entity incurred after the transaction takes effect, but those obligations may be satisfied only out of property of the entity if the partner is a limited partner.
B. If the obligations incurred before the transaction by a domestic limited partnership that is a party to or otherwise undertakes the transaction are not to be satisfied out of the property of the post-transaction entity pursuant to the plan, the general partners of that partnership immediately before the effective date of the transaction shall contribute the amount necessary to satisfy that partnership's obligations to the post-transaction entity in the manner provided in section 29-1077, as if that partnership were dissolved.
C. A partner of a domestic limited partnership that is a party to or otherwise undertakes a transaction who does not become a partner or other interest holder of the post-transaction entity is dissociated, as provided in section 29-1051, from the domestic limited partnership of which that partner was a partner, as of the date the transaction takes effect. If the dissociated partner was a general partner before the transaction, the post-transaction entity shall cause the partner's interest in the limited partnership to be purchased under section 29-334, subsection C or section 29-1061, as applicable, or another statute specifically applicable to that partner's interest with respect to a transaction. If the dissociated partner was a general partner before the transaction, the post-transaction entity is bound under section 29-1062 by an act of a general partner dissociated under this subsection and the partner is liable under section 29-1063 for transactions entered into by the post-transaction entity after the transaction takes effect.
