     (2) A person's dissociation as a general partner is wrongful only if:

     (a) It is in breach of an express provision of the partnership agreement; or

     (b) It occurs before the termination of the limited partnership, and:

     (i) The person withdraws as a general partner by express will;

     (ii) The person is expelled as a general partner by judicial determination under RCW 25.10.521(5);

     (iii) The person is dissociated as a general partner as a result of an event described in RCW 25.10.521(6); or

     (iv) In the case of a person that is not an individual, trust other than a business trust, or estate, the person is expelled or otherwise dissociated as a general partner because it willfully dissolved or terminated.

The liability is in addition to any other obligation of the general partner to the limited partnership or to the other partners.
