Title 14, Chapter 11, Section 709
( 14-11-709)
(a) If the Secretary of State determines that one or more grounds exist under Code Section 14-11-708 for revocation of a certificate of authority, the Secretary of State shall provide the foreign limited liability company with written notice of such determination by mailing a copy of the notice, first-class mail, to the foreign limited liability company at the address of its principal place of business indicated in its most recently filed annual registration, or if no annual registration has been filed, in its application for a certificate of authority to transact business, or to its registered agent. (b) If the foreign limited liability company does not correct each
ground for revocation or demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Secretary of State that each ground determined by the
Secretary of State does not exist within 60 days after the notice is
provided to the foreign limited liability company, the Secretary of
State may revoke the foreign limited liability company's certificate
of authority by signing a certificate of revocation that recites the
ground or grounds for revocation and its effective date. (c) The authority of a foreign limited liability company to transact
business in this state ceases on the date shown on the certificate
revoking its certificate of authority. (d) The Secretary of State's revocation of a foreign limited
liability company's certificate of authority appoints the Secretary
of State as the foreign limited liability company's agent for
service of process in any proceeding based on a cause of action
which arose during the time the foreign limited liability company
was authorized to transact business in this state. Service of
process on the Secretary of State under this subsection is service
on the foreign limited liability company. Any party that serves
process on the Secretary of State shall also mail a copy of the
process to the foreign limited liability company at the most recent
address of its principal place of business listed on the records of
the Secretary of State or to its registered agent. This subsection
does not prescribe the only means, or necessarily the required
means, of serving any process, notice, or demand required or
permitted by law to be served on a foreign limited liability
company. (e) Revocation of a foreign limited liability company's certificate
of authority does not terminate the authority of the registered
agent of the foreign limited liability company. |
