2. The shares of beneficial interests of each business trust party to the merger that are to be converted or exchanged under the terms of the merger cease to exist, subject to the rights of an objecting beneficial owner under this article.
3. In addition to any other purposes and powers set forth in the articles of merger, if the articles of merger provide, the successor has the purposes and powers of each party to the merger.
4. The title to all real estate and other property of each party to the merger is vested in the successor business trust without further reservation or impairment.
5. The successor has all the liabilities of each non-surviving party to the merger.
