as debts, obligations, or other liabilities of the domesticated company; (4) an action or proceeding pending by or against a domesticating company may be continued

as if the domestication had not occurred; (5) except as prohibited by other law, all of the rights, privileges, immunities,

powers, and purposes of the domesticating company remain vested in the domesticated

company; (6) except as otherwise provided in the plan of domestication, the terms and conditions

limited liability company for the purposes of Article 7, Dissolution and Winding Up

(sections 48 through 56 of this act 1 ). b. A domesticated company that is a foreign limited liability company consents to

the jurisdiction of the courts of this State to enforce any debt, obligation, or other
