(3) That the resolution authorizing termination was duly adopted by the members;
(4) A copy of the resolution or the written consent authorizing the termination; and
(5) That all the assets of the LLC have been distributed to its creditors and members.
(b)(1) The secretary of state shall file the articles of termination following administrative dissolution if the secretary of state finds that the articles:
(A) Comply with subsection (a); and
(B) Are accompanied by a tax clearance for termination or withdrawal relative to such LLC.
(2) Upon such filing, the existence of the LLC shall cease, except that the termination of LLC existence shall not take away or impair any remedy to or against the LLC or its members, governors, or managers for any right or claim existing or any liability incurred prior to such termination.
