The certificate of merger or consolidation required pursuant to section 121-1103 of this article shall include the information required by paragraphs one, two, three and six of subdivision (a) of such section (as applicable) as to the constituent other business entities. The provisions of section 121-1104 of this article shall govern the effect of the merger or consolidation with respect to the property of, debts, obligations, liabilities and penalties of, and actions, suits and proceedings by or against, the constituent limited partnership if the survivor or resultant entity therefrom is a limited partnership.
