(1) A foreign limited liability partnership transacting business in this state may not maintain an action or proceeding in this state unless it has in effect a registration as a foreign limited liability partnership.
(2) The failure of a foreign limited liability partnership to have in effect a registration as a foreign limited liability partnership does not impair the validity of a contract or act of the foreign limited liability partnership or preclude it from defending an action or proceeding in this state.
(3) A limitation on personal liability of a partner is not waived solely by transacting business in this state without registration as a foreign limited liability partnership.
(4) If a foreign limited liability partnership transacts business in this state without a registration as a foreign limited liability partnership, the secretary of state is its agent for service of process with respect to a right of action arising out of the transaction of business in this state.
