35-10-635. Conversion of partnership to limited partnership. (1) A partnership may be converted to a limited partnership pursuant to this section.
(2) The terms and conditions of a conversion of a partnership to a limited partnership must be approved by all the partners or by a number or percentage specified for conversion in the partnership agreement.
(3) After the conversion is approved by the partners, the partnership shall file a certificate of limited partnership that satisfies the requirements of 35-12-601 and includes:
(a) a statement that the partnership was converted to a limited partnership from a partnership;
(b) its former name; and
(c) a statement of the number of votes cast by the partners for and against the conversion and, if the vote is less than unanimous, the number or percentage required to approve the conversion under the partnership agreement.
(4) The conversion takes effect when the certificate of limited partnership is filed or at any later date specified in the certificate.
(5) A partner who becomes a limited partner as a result of the conversion remains liable as a partner for an obligation, incurred by the partnership before the conversion takes effect, for which the partner is personally liable under 35-10-307 and 35-10-629. If the other party to a transaction with the limited partnership reasonably believes when entering the transaction that the limited partner is a general partner, the partner is liable for an obligation incurred by the limited partnership within 90 days after the conversion takes effect but only to the extent that the limited partner would have been personally liable for the partnership under 35-10-307 or 35-10-629 immediately prior to the conversion. The partner's liability for all other obligations of the limited partnership incurred after the conversion takes effect is that of a limited partner as provided in Title 35, chapter 12.
