2. If the surviving entity or new entity is to be governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than this state, then, upon the effectiveness of a merger or consolidation, the surviving entity or new entity shall file a statement with the secretary of state that the surviving entity or the new entity, as the case may be, agrees that it is subject to service of process in this state in any proceeding for enforcement of any obligation of any constituent entity party to the merger or consolidation that was organized under the laws of this state and for enforcement of any obligation of the surviving entity or new entity arising from the merger or consolidation.
