      to which the secretary of state shall mail a copy of any process against
      the corporation served upon him or the address of the registered  agent,
      provided  such  address  being  changed  is  the  address  of  a person,
      partnership or other corporation whose address, as agent, is the address
      to be changed or who has been designated as registered  agent  for  such
      corporation,  may  be signed and delivered to the department of state by
      such agent. The certificate of change shall  set  forth  the  statements
      required  under  subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (a) of this
      section; that a  notice  of  the  proposed  change  was  mailed  to  the

      be  deemed  to  effect  a  change  of  location  of  the  office  of the
      corporation in whose behalf such certificate is filed.
