Latest version.
  • (a) A foreign
      limited partnership may surrender its certificate of authority by filing
      with the department of state a  certificate  entitled,  "Certificate  of
      surrender of authority of.... (name of limited partnership)" signed by a
      general partner, or by a trustee, receiver or other person authorized by
      law  to  wind  up such partnership. The authority of the foreign limited
      partnership to do business in this state shall terminate on such  filing
      of  the  certificate  of  surrender  of authority. A surrender shall not
      terminate the authority of the secretary of state to accept  service  of
      process  on  the  foreign  limited partnership with respect to causes of
      action arising out of doing business in this state.
        (b) The certificate of surrender of authority shall state:
        (1) the name of the foreign limited partnership as it appears  on  the
      index  of  names  of  existing  domestic  and authorized foreign limited
      partnerships of any type or kind in the department  of  state,  and  the
      fictitious  name  the  foreign  limited partnership has agreed to use in
      this state pursuant to section 121-902 of this article;
        (2) the jurisdiction where it was organized;
        (3) the date on which its certificate of authority to do  business  in
      this state was filed with the department of state;
        (4) that it surrenders its authority to do business in this state;
        (5)  that  it  revokes  the authority of its registered agent, if any,
      previously designated, and that it consents that process against  it  in
      any  action or special proceeding based upon any liability or obligation
      incurred by it within this state before the filing of the certificate of
      surrender may be served on the secretary of  state  in  the  manner  set
      forth in section 121-109 of this article; and
        (6)  a  post  office address within or without this state to which the
      secretary of state shall mail a copy of any process  against  it  served
      upon him.
