limited liability company meet all  of  the  requirements  to  become  a
professional  service limited liability company, including that the name
of a professional service limited liability company shall end  with  the
words  "Professional  Limited  Liability  Company" or "Limited Liability

the limited liability company, but shall be deemed a continuation of its
existence, without  affecting  its  then  existing  property  rights  or
liabilities  or  the liabilities of its members or officers as such, but
thereafter it shall have only such rights, powers and privileges, and be
subject only to such other duties and  liabilities,  as  a  professional
service  limited  liability  company created for the same purposes under
this article.
