Effect of Conversion; Entity Unchanged.

(b)When a conversion takes effect:
(1)all property owned by the converting organization remains vested in the converted organization;
(2)all debts, liabilities and other obligations of the converting organization continue as obligations of the converted organization;
(3)an action or proceeding pending against the converting organization may be continued as if the conversion had not occurred;
(4)except as prohibited by other law, all of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers, and purposes of the converting organization remain vested in the converted organization;
(5)except as otherwise provided in the plan of conversion, the terms and conditions of the plan of conversion take effect; and
(6)except as otherwise agreed, the conversion does not dissolve a converting partnership for the purposes of Article 8.
(c)A converted organization that is a foreign organization consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of this state to enforce any obligation owed by the converting partnership, if before the conversion the converting partnership was subject to suit in this state on the obligation.
