(3) did not have notice of the partner's dissociation; and

(4) is not deemed to have had knowledge under § 4-46-303(e) or notice under § 4-46-704(c).

(5) By agreement with the partnership creditor and the partners continuing the business, a dissociated partner may be released from liability for a partnership obligation.

(6) A dissociated partner is released from liability for a partnership obligation if a partnership creditor, with notice of the partner's dissociation but without the partner's consent, agrees to a material alteration in the nature or time of payment of a partnership obligation.
