What's the most common way to handle defaulting LPs?

Looking at the Cornerstone LPA for example, I find there's multiple avenues a GP could choose to deal with a defaulting LP. What's, based on industry experience, the rationale for choosing one over the other, and which ones are the most common? - Removing the LP from the partnership by either considering their interest forfeited or selling it at a discount - Using distributions to cover capital calls - Pursuing legal action And when does it make sense for the GP to waive the interest?
