  When a registered foreign limited partnership has merged into a foreign entity that is not registered to do business in this state or has converted to a foreign entity required to register with the secretary of state to do business in this state, the foreign entity shall deliver to the secretary of state for filing an application for transfer of registration. The application must state:  The name of the registered foreign limited partnership before the merger or conversion;   That, before the merger or conversion, the registration pertained to a foreign limited partnership;   The name of the applicant foreign entity into which the foreign limited partnership has merged or to which it has been converted and, if the name does not comply with § 61-3-112, an alternate name adopted pursuant to § 61-3-1006(a);   The type of entity of the applicant foreign entity, its jurisdiction of formation, the date of its formation, its duration (if other than perpetual), and the date its fiscal year closes;   The street addresses, including zip code, of the principal office of the applicant foreign entity and if the law of the entity's jurisdiction of formation requires the entity to maintain an office in that jurisdiction, the street address of that office;   The name and street address, including zip code, of the applicant foreign entity's registered agent in this state;   If the United States postal service does not deliver mail to any of the street addresses listed in the application, a mailing address, including zip code, to which mail may be delivered;   The date the applicant foreign entity commenced doing business in this state;   If the applicant foreign entity is a limited liability company:  Whether it is manager managed, member managed, director managed, or board managed;   If it has more than six (6) members at the date of the filing of the application, the number of members of the limited liability company at the date of the filing of the application; and   If § 48-249-309(i) is applicable to the foreign limited liability company, the information required by § 48-249-309(i);     If the applicant foreign entity is a corporation:  The name and address, including city, state, and zip code, of each of its current officers;   The name and address, including city, state, and zip code, of each of its current directors;   A statement that it is (or is not, as the case may be) a corporation for profit; and   Any additional designation, such as bank, captive insurance company, credit union, for-profit benefit corporation, insurance company, litigation financier, Massachusetts trust, professional corporation, or trust company;     If the applicant foreign entity is a limited partnership, the name and address, including city, state, and zip code, of each of its current general partners; and   If the application is not to become effective immediately upon filing, the date (not later than ninety (90) days after the date of filing) and time the application is to become effective.     The applicant foreign entity shall deliver with the completed application a certificate of existence, or document of similar import, duly authenticated by the secretary of state or other official having custody of business entity records in the jurisdiction of the applicant foreign entity's formation. The certificate shall not bear a date more than two (2) months prior to the date the application is filed in this state.   If the applicant foreign entity is a limited liability company that elects to be registered as an obligated member entity pursuant to § 48-217-101(f), the application must:  State that the limited liability company elects to be registered as an obligated member entity;   State the effective date of this registration;   State that the signer understands that this election will cause the members of the limited liability company to become liable for the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the limited liability company to the same extent as a partner of a general partnership; and   Be accompanied by an obligated member addendum in the form prescribed by the secretary of state and signed by each person or entity that is a member of the limited liability company at the date of the filing of the application.     If the secretary of state determines upon application that the applicant foreign entity has been transacting business in this state without a certificate of authority for a period of one (1) year or more, then the secretary of state shall not file the application until the applicant foreign entity submits a letter of good standing from the department of revenue.   When an application for transfer of registration takes effect, the registration of the foreign limited partnership to do business in this state is transferred without interruption to the foreign entity into which the partnership has merged or to which it has been converted.
