  1. Before the merger became effective, the act would have bound the constituent limited partnership under Section 79-14-402; and
  2. At the time the third party enters into the transaction, the third party:

Does not have notice of the merger; and

Reasonably believes that the surviving business is the constituent limited partnership and that the person is a general partner in the constituent limited partnership.

An act of a person that before a merger became effective was dissociated as a general partner from a constituent limited partnership binds the converted or surviving organization after the merger becomes effective, if:
