IL S-corp personal liability

I have a possibility to gain 10% ownership in an IL S-corp. If corporation goes bankrupt or gets into finacial trouble will I be liable for any part of its debt or other obligations. I would not have to sign any document such as loan guarantee and would not be an officer in the s-corp - Is this your question? Add additional information

Unless money is co-mingled or there is fraud, you can only lose your investment in the corporation. If you co-sign documents personally guaranteeing than you would also be personally be liable.
