Each partner's account shall be charged with an amount equal to the cash plus the value of any other property, net of the amount of any liabilities, distributed by the partnership to the partner and the partner's share of the partnership losses provided that the partner shall be personally liable on account of such charges only as provided in W.S. 17-21-807 and 17-21-808.

(c) A partnership shall indemnify each partner for payments reasonably made and liabilities reasonably incurred by the partner in the ordinary and proper conduct of the business of the partnership or for the preservation of its business or property, provided, however, that no other partner shall be required to make any payment to the partnership or any other partner, except as provided to the partnership or any other partner, except as provided in W.S. 17-21-807 and 17-21-808, including any payments attributable all or in part to partnership liabilities for indemnification.
