Article 1 - Short Title; Definitions; Applications; Certificates, Miscellaneous
105 - Certificates; Corrections.

Any certificate or other instrument relating to a domestic or foreign
corporation filed by the department of state under this chapter may be
corrected with respect to any informality or error apparent on the face,
incorrect statement or defect in the execution thereof including the
deletion of any matter not permitted to be stated therein. A
certificate, entitled "Certificate of correction of............ (correct
title of certificate and name of corporation)" shall be signed and
delivered to the department of state. It shall set forth the name of the
corporation, the date the certificate to be corrected was filed by the
department of state, a statement as to the nature of the informality,
error, incorrect statement or defect, the provision in the certificate
as corrected or eliminated and if the execution was defective, the
proper execution. The filing of the certificate by the department of
state shall not alter the effective time of the instrument being
corrected, which shall remain as its original effective time, and shall
not affect any right or liability accrued or incurred before such
filing. A corporate name may not be changed or corrected under this
section. The provisions of this section shall apply to all instruments
and certificates heretofore and hereafter filed with the department of
state.
