2. A partner in a registered limited liability partnership is not liable directly or indirectly, including by way of indemnification, contribution, or otherwise, for debts, obligations, and liabilities chargeable to the partnership arising from negligence, wrongful acts, or misconduct, which occurs while the partnership is a registered limited liability partnership and which also occurs in the course of the partnership's business, by another partner or an employee, agent, or representative of the partnership.
