(a) A limited liability company may be converted to a limited partnership pursuant to this section.
(b) The terms and conditions of a conversion of a limited liability company to a limited partnership must be approved by all the members or by the number or percentage of the members required for conversion in the operating agreement.
(c) An agreement of conversion must include the terms and conditions of the conversion of the interests of members of a limited liability company into interests in the converted limited partnership or the cash or other consideration to be paid or delivered as a result of the conversion of the interests of the members, or both.
(d) After a conversion is approved pursuant to subsection (b), the limited liability company shall file with the Secretary of State a certificate of limited partnership that satisfies the requirements of Section 33-42-210 and contains:
1. (1) a statement that the limited liability company is converted to a limited partnership from a limited liability company;
2. (2) its former name;
3. (3) a statement of the number of votes cast by the members entitled to vote for and against the conversion and, if the vote is less than unanimous, the number or percentage required to approve the conversion pursuant to subsection (b); and
4. (4) a statement that the articles of organization are cancelled as of the date the conversion takes effect.
(e) The filing of a certificate of limited partnership pursuant to subsection (d) cancels the articles of organization of the limited liability company as of the date the conversion takes effect.
(f) A conversion takes effect when the certificate of limited partnership is filed with the Secretary of State or at a later date specified in the certificate of limited partnership.
(g) A member's liability for all obligations of the limited partnership incurred after the conversion takes effect is that of a general partner or limited partner. A member who becomes a partner of a limited partnership as a result of a conversion remains liable only to the extent the member was liable for an obligation incurred by the limited liability company before the conversion takes effect.
