    Harold would not Succeed

    Explanation:

    Stephanie has only agreed to become partner after 2 years and she (Stephanie) was not aware that she was presented to Harold as a partner. Her agreeing to collect 10% profit in lieu of interest does not make her a partner. Therefore, she can not be held liable in the event of insolvency.
