(f) if a limited liability company is the surviving entity, the changes in its articles of organization that are necessary by reason of the merger;
(g) if a party to a merger is a foreign limited liability company, the jurisdiction and date of filing of its initial articles of organization and the date when its application for authority was filed by the secretary of state or, if an application has not been filed, a statement to that effect; and
(h) if the surviving entity is not a limited liability company, the agreement that the surviving entity may be served with process in this state and is subject to liability in any action or proceeding for the enforcement of any liability or obligation of any limited liability company previously subject to suit in this state that is to merge and for the enforcement, as provided in this chapter, of the right of members of any limited liability company to receive payment for their interest against the surviving entity; and
(i) the name and address of the registered agent of the surviving entity.
(2) If a foreign limited liability company is the surviving entity of a merger, it may not do business in this state until an application for that authority is filed with the secretary of state.
(3) The surviving limited liability company or other entity shall furnish a copy of the plan of merger, on request and without cost, to any member of any limited liability company or any person holding an interest in any other entity that is subject to the merger.
