Sec. 4. (a) An assignee of a partnership interest, including an assignee of a general partner, may become a limited partner, if and to the extent that:
(1) the partnership agreement so provides; or
(2) all other partners consent in writing.
(b) An assignee who has become a limited partner has, to the extent assigned, the rights and powers, and is subject to the restrictions and liabilities, of a limited partner under the partnership agreement and this article. An assignee who becomes a limited partner also is liable for the obligations of the assignor to make contributions as provided in IC 23-16-6-2. However, the assignee is not obligated for liabilities that were unknown to the assignee at the time the assignee became a limited partner and that could not be ascertained from the partnership agreement. Additionally, the assignee is not liable for any accrued liabilities of the assignor at the time of such assignment unless the assignee specifically assumes such liabilities.
(c) If an assignee of a partnership interest becomes a limited partner, the assignor is not released from the assignor's liabilities to the limited partnership under IC 23-16-3-8, IC 23-16-6, and IC 23-16-7, unless such liabilities are specifically assumed by the assignee under subsection (b).
