     (5)  On application by a partner, a judicial determination that:

          (A)  The economic purpose of the partnership is likely to be unreasonably frustrated;

          (B)  Another partner has engaged in conduct relating to the partnership business which makes it not reasonably practicable to carry on the business in partnership with that partner; or

          (C)  It is not otherwise reasonably practicable to carry on the partnership business in conformity with the partnership agreement; or

     (6)  On application by a transferee of a partner's transferable interest, a judicial determination that it is equitable to wind up the partnership business:
