Statute Text
Obligation of partner.
(1) A promise by a limited partner to contribute to the limited partnership is
not enforceable unless set out in writing signed by the limited partner.
(2) Except as
provided in the partnership agreement, a partner is obligated to the limited
partnership to perform any enforceable promise to contribute cash or other
property or to perform services, even if the partner is unable to perform
because of death, disability or any other reason. If a partner does not make
the required contribution of property or services, the partner shall be
obligated at the option of the limited partnership to contribute cash equal to
that portion of the value, as stated in the records required to be kept
pursuant to ORS 70.050, of the stated contribution that has not been made.
(3) Unless
otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, the obligation of a partner to
make a contribution or return money or other property paid or distributed in
violation of this chapter may be compromised only by consent of all the
partners. Notwithstanding the compromise, a creditor may enforce the original
obligation if the creditor extended credit or otherwise acted in reliance on
that obligation, during the period occurring:
(a) After the
partner signs a writing that reflects the obligation; and
(b) Before the
amendment or cancellation thereof to reflect the compromise. [1985 c.677 §29;
1987 c.543 §19]
