(a) General rule.--The liability of a partner of an electing partnership for the debts and obligations of the partnership shall be satisfied out of partnership assets alone if the debt or obligation arises from a transaction or occurrence in which the person dealing with the partnership has notice, as defined in section 8413(b) (relating to knowledge and notice), that this section is applicable to the partnership.
(b) Exceptions.--Subsection (a) does not apply:
(1) Unless otherwise agreed by the obligee, to a debt or obligation arising prior to the time a partnership becomes an electing partnership.
(2) To a transaction or occurrence involving the furnishing or sale of any goods or services by the partnership.
(c) Professional relationship unaffected.--Subsection (a) shall not afford the partners of an electing partnership providing professional services with greater immunity than is available to the officers, shareholders, employees or agents of a professional corporation. See section 2925 (relating to professional relationship retained).
