(A) A limited partner may withdraw from a limited partnership only at the time or upon the happening of events specified in writing in the partnership agreement, if:
(1) the limited partnership was formed on or after July 1, 1998; or
(2) the limited partnership was formed before July 1, 1998, and the partnership agreement governing the limited partnership specifies in writing the time or the events upon the happening of which a limited partner may withdraw or a definite time for the dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership.
(B) If the partnership agreement governing a limited partnership formed before July 1, 1998, does not specify in writing the time or the events upon the happening of which a limited partner may withdraw or a definite time for the dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership, a limited partner may withdraw upon not less than six months' prior written notice to each general partner at his address on the books of the limited partnership at its office required to be maintained pursuant to Section 33-42-50(1) in this State. If the partnership agreement of the limited partnership is amended on or after July 1, 1998, to specify the time or the events upon the happening of which a limited partner may withdraw or a definite time for the dissolution and winding up of the limited partnership, the amendment shall apply retroactively to the date of the formation of the limited partnership, and the limited partnership is deemed to be a limited partnership described in subsection (A)(2).
