A.__A statement that the partnership was converted to a limited partnership from a partnership;

B.__The name of the partnership immediately before the filing of the certificate of limited partnership and the name to which the name of the partnership is to be changed, which must be a name that satisfies the requirements of section 1308;

C.__A statement of the number of votes cast by the partners for and against the conversion and, if the vote is less than unanimous, the number or percentage required to approve the conversion under the partnership agreement; and

4.__Effective date of conversion.__The conversion takes effect when the certificate of limited partnership is filed or at any later date specified in the certificate.

5.__Liability.__A general partner who becomes a limited partner as a result of the conversion remains liable as a general partner for an obligation incurred by the partnership before the conversion takes effect.__If the other party to a transaction with the limited partnership reasonably believes when entering the transaction that the limited partner is a general partner, the limited partner is liable for an obligation incurred by the limited partnership within 30 days after the conversion takes effect.__The limited partner's liability for all other obligations of the limited partnership incurred after the conversion takes effect is that of a limited partner as provided in the Maine Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.
