§ 105. Certificates; corrections.

(a)   Corrections   prior  to  filing  by  department  of  state.  Any
  certificate or other  instrument  relating  to  a  domestic  or  foreign
  corporation  submitted to the department of state under this chapter may
  be corrected with respect to any typographical, or similar  non-material
  error  apparent  on  the face of the certificate or instrument, prior to
  the filing of such certificate or instrument by the department of state.
  Such correction shall be  effected  by  the  department  of  state  upon
  authorization in writing by the incorporator in a form acceptable to the
  department.  Such  authorization  may  be  delivered  by mail or sent by
  electronic mail to the department.

(b) Corrections following  incorporation.  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  typographical or similar non-material error apparent on the face 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
  by  mail  or  electronic  mail.  It  shall  set  forth  the  name of the
  corporation, the date the certificate to be corrected was filed  by  the
  department  of  state,  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.

(c)  A  corporate  name  may  not  be  changed or corrected under this
  section other than to correct any typographical or similar  non-material
  error.
