2006 New York Code - Certificates; Corrections.

 
  § 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.
