the partnership business is liable as a partner to the other party in a transaction
entered into by the partnership, or a surviving partnership under Article 9 of this
act, 1 within two years after the partner's dissociation, only if the partner is liable
for the obligation under section 18 of this act 2 and at the time of entering into the transaction the other party: (1) reasonably believed that the dissociated partner was then a partner; (2) did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and (3) is not deemed to have had knowledge under subsection e. of section 15 3 or notice under section subsection c. of section 37 of this act. 4 c. By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business,
a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation. d. A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if
a partnership creditor, with notice of the partner's dissociation but without the
partner's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment
of a partnership obligation. 1
