Voting by limited partners may be on a per capita, number, financial interest, class, group or any other basis.(c) A partnership agreement which grants a right to vote may set forth provisions relating to notice of the time, place or purpose of any meeting at which any matter is to be voted on by any partner, waiver of any such notice, action by consent without a meeting, the establishment of a record date, quorum requirements, voting in person or by proxy, or any other matter with respect to the exercise of any such right to vote. If provided in the partnership agreement, the general partners may make a recommendation on any proper proposal and require response within a specified time, but not less than thirty (30) days, and provide that failure to respond within the specified time shall constitute a vote which is consistent with the general partners' recommendation with respect to the proposal.
