     (2)  The partner has consented to this provision in the limited partnership's partnership agreement.

     (b)  An amendment to a certificate of limited partnership that deletes a statement that the limited partnership is a limited liability limited partnership shall be ineffective without the consent of each general partner unless:

     (2)  Each general partner that does not consent to the amendment has consented to the provision of the partnership agreement.

     (c)  A partner does not give the consent required by subsection (a) or (b) merely by consenting to a provision of the partnership agreement that permits the partnership agreement to be amended with the consent of fewer than all the partners. [L 2003, c 210, pt of §1]
