When the articles of termination have been filed with the secretary of state, the existence of the LLC is terminated, except that the termination of the LLC existence shall not take away or impair any remedy of or against the LLC or its members, directors, managers or officers for any right or claim existing, or any liability incurred, prior to such termination. Any such action or proceeding by or against the LLC may be prosecuted or defended by the LLC in its LLC name. The members, directors, managers or officers, as applicable, shall have the power to take such LLC or other action, as may be appropriate, to protect such remedy, right or claim.
