(a) Subject to subsection (b) of this section, a partnership shall continue after dissolution only for the purpose of winding up its business. The partnership shall be terminated when the winding up of its business is completed.

In that event:

(1) The partnership shall resume carrying on its business as if dissolution had never occurred, and any liability incurred by the partnership or a partner after the dissolution and before the waiver shall be determined as if dissolution had never occurred; and

(2) The rights of a third party accruing under § 29-608.04(1) or arising out of conduct in reliance on the dissolution before the third party knew or received a notification of the waiver shall not be adversely affected.
