Sec. 502. (a) Except as provided in the certificate of limited partnership, a limited partner is obligated to the limited partnership to perform any promise to contribute cash or property or to perform services, even if the limited partner is unable to perform because of death, disability, or any other reason. If a limited partner does not make the required contribution of property or services, the limited partner is obligated at the option of the limited partnership to contribute cash equal to that portion of the value, as stated in the certificate of limited partnership, of the stated contribution that has not been made, in addition to any other rights that the limited partnership may have against such limited partner under the partnership agreement or applicable law.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the partnership agreement, the obligation of a limited partner to make a contribution or return money or other property paid or distributed in violation of this act may be compromised only by consent of all the partners. Notwithstanding the compromise, a creditor of a limited partnership who extends credit, or whose claim arises, after the filing of the certificate of limited partnership or an amendment to the certificate which, in either case, reflects the obligation, and before the amendment or cancellation of the certificate to reflect the compromise, may enforce the original obligation.
(c) The obligation of a general partner to the limited partnership to contribute cash or property or perform services shall be as provided in the partnership agreement.
