Section 10A-5A-10.08Effect of merger.

(a) When a merger becomes effective:



(1) the surviving organization continues or, in the case of a surviving organization created pursuant to the merger, comes into existence;



(2) each constituent organization that merges into the surviving organization ceases to exist as a separate entity;



(3) all property owned by each constituent organization, or series thereof, that ceases to exist vests in the surviving organization without reservation or impairment and the title to any property vested by deed or otherwise in the surviving organization shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the merger;



(4) all debts, obligations, or other liabilities of each constituent organization, or series thereof, that ceases to exist continue as debts, obligations or other liabilities of the surviving organization and neither the rights of creditors, nor any liens upon the property of any constituent organization, shall be impaired by the merger;



(5) an action or proceeding pending by or against any constituent organization, or series thereof, continues as if the merger had not occurred;



(6) except as prohibited by law other than this chapter, all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and purposes of each constituent organization, or series thereof, vest in the surviving organization;



(7) except as otherwise provided in the plan of merger, the terms and conditions of the plan of merger take effect;



(8) except as otherwise agreed, if a constituent limited liability company ceases to exist, the merger does not dissolve the limited liability company for the purposes of Article 7 and does not dissolve a series for purposes of Article 11;



(9) if the surviving organization is created pursuant to the merger:



(A) if it is a limited liability company, the certificate of formation becomes effective; or



(B) if it is an organization other than a limited liability company, the organizational document that creates the organization becomes effective; and



(10) if the surviving organization existed before the merger, any amendments provided for in the statement of merger for the organizational document that created the organization become effective.



(b) A surviving organization that is a foreign entity consents to the jurisdiction of this state to enforce any debt, obligation, or other liability owed by a constituent organization, if before the merger the constituent organization was subject to suit in this state on the debt, obligation, or other liability. If a surviving organization that is a foreign entity fails to designate or maintain a registered agent, or the designated registered agent cannot with reasonable diligence be served, then the service of process on that surviving organization for the purposes of enforcing a debt, obligation, or other liability under this subsection may be made in the same manner and has the same consequences as provided in Section 10A-1-5.35.
