consolidation signed and dated by the clerk or secretary of the

corporation. When the certificate of consolidation is filed, the

separate existence of all of the constituent corporations, or of

all of the constituent corporations except the one into which the

constituent corporations have been consolidated, ceases and the

constituent corporations, whether consolidated into a new

corporation or merged into one of the constituent corporations, as

the case may be, become the consolidated corporation by the name

provided in the agreement, possessing all the rights, privileges,

powers, franchises and immunities of a public and private nature

and being subject to all the liabilities, restrictions and duties

of each of those corporations so consolidated, and all the rights,

privileges, powers, franchises and immunities of each of those

constituent corporations, and all real, personal and mixed property

of those constituent corporations, all debts due to any of those

constituent corporations on whatever account and all other things

in action of or belonging to each of those constituent corporations

are vested in the consolidated corporation. All property, rights,

privileges, powers, franchises, immunities and all other interests

are thereafter the property of the consolidated corporation in the

same manner as they were of the several and respective constituent

corporations, and the title to any real estate, whether by deed or

otherwise vested under the laws of this State in any of those

constituent corporations, may not revert or in any way be impaired

by reason of the consolidation.__All rights of creditors and all

liens upon the property of any of those constituent corporations

are preserved unimpaired, limited to the property affected by such

liens at the time of the consolidation, and all debts, liabilities

and duties of the respective constituent corporations henceforth

attach to the consolidated corporation and may be enforced against

it to the same extent as if those debts, liabilities and duties had

been incurred or contracted by it.
