(1) Be solely the debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the company; and
(2) Not become the debts, obligations, or other liabilities of a member or manager solely by reason of the member acting as a member or manager acting as a manager regardless of the dissolution of the company.
(b) The failure of a limited liability company to observe any particular formalities relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its activities and affairs shall not be a ground for imposing liability on the members or managers for the debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the company.
(c) With respect to members of professional limited liability companies, a member shall be personally liable and accountable only for any negligent or wrongful acts or misconduct committed by the member, or by any individual under the member’s supervision and control in the rendering of professional service on behalf of a professional limited liability company organized under this chapter. A member of a professional limited liability company shall not be personally liable and accountable merely because of the member’s membership interest in the professional limited liability company.
