of another partner, as from the distribution of Nelson’s capital deficit in case b.

Note that the receivable from Adams is not included in the Cash Distribution Plan. The UPA 1997
does not include any offsets of receivables from partners against capital accounts. Thus, the
partnership should treat the receivable from Adams as any other partnership asset.
