(a) Power to bind.--After a person is dissociated as a general partner and before the limited partnership is merged or divided out of existence, converted or domesticated under Chapter 3 (relating to entity transactions) or dissolved, the partnership is bound by an act of the person only if:

(1) the act would have bound the partnership under section 8642 (relating to general partner agent of limited partnership) before the dissociation; and

(2) at the time the other party enters into the transaction:

(i) less than two years have passed since the dissociation; and

(ii) the other party does not know or have notice of the dissociation and reasonably believes that the person is a general partner.

(b) Liability.--If a limited partnership is bound under subsection (a), the person dissociated as a general partner which caused the partnership to be bound is liable:

(1) to the partnership for any damage caused to the partnership arising from the obligation incurred under subsection (a); and

(2) if a general partner or another person dissociated as a general partner is liable for the obligation, to the general partner or other person for any damage caused to the general partner or other person arising from the liability.
