Approval of plan of merger, conversion or exchange for domestic limited partnership.
1. Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement or the certificate of limited partnership, a plan of merger, conversion or exchange involving a domestic limited partnership must be approved by all general partners and by limited partners who own a majority in interest of the partnership then owned by all the limited partners. If the partnership has more than one class of limited partners, the plan of merger, conversion or exchange must be approved by those limited partners who own a majority in interest of the partnership then owned by the limited partners in each class.
2. For the purposes of this section, “majority in interest of the partnership” means a majority of the interests in capital and profits of the limited partners of a domestic limited partnership which:
(a) In the case of capital, is determined as of the date of the approval of the plan of merger, conversion or exchange.
(b) In the case of profits, is based on any reasonable estimate of profits for the period beginning on the date of the approval of the plan of merger, conversion or exchange and ending on the anticipated date of the termination of the domestic limited partnership, including any present or future division of profits distributed pursuant to the partnership agreement.
3. If any partner of a domestic limited partnership, which will be the constituent entity in a conversion, will have any liability for the obligations of the resulting entity after the conversion because he will be the owner of an owner’s interest in the resulting entity, then that partner must also approve the plan of conversion.
