(1) A registered office, which may but need not be a place of its business in the State of Delaware; and
(2) A registered agent for service of process on the limited liability company, having a business office identical with such registered
office, which agent may be any of:
a. The limited liability company itself,
b. An individual resident in the State of Delaware,
c. A domestic limited liability company (other than the limited liability company itself), a domestic corporation, a domestic
partnership (whether general (including a limited liability partnership) or limited (including a limited liability limited partnership)),
or a domestic statutory trust, or
d. A foreign corporation, a foreign limited liability partnership, a foreign limited partnership (including a foreign limited liability
limited partnership), a foreign limited liability company, or a foreign statutory trust.
(b) A registered agent may change the address of the registered office of the limited liability company(ies) for which it is registered
agent to another address in the State of Delaware by paying a fee as set forth in § 18-1105(a)(2) of this title and filing with the Secretary of
State a certificate, executed by such registered agent, setting forth the address at which such registered agent has maintained the registered
office for each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent, and further certifying to the new address to which
each such registered office will be changed on a given day, and at which new address such registered agent will thereafter maintain the
registered office for each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent. Upon the filing of such certificate, until
further change of address, as authorized by law, the registered office in the State of Delaware of each of the limited liability companies
for which the agent is a registered agent shall be located at the new address of the registered agent thereof as given in the certificate. In
the event of a change of name of any person acting as a registered agent of a limited liability company, such registered agent shall file

with the Secretary of State a certificate executed by such registered agent setting forth the new name of such registered agent, the name
of such registered agent before it was changed, and the address at which such registered agent has maintained the registered office for
each of the limited liability companies for which it is a registered agent, and shall pay a fee as set forth in § 18-1105(a)(2) of this title.
A change of name of any person acting as a registered agent of a limited liability company as a result of (i) a merger or consolidation
of the registered agent with or into another person which succeeds to its assets and liabilities by operation of law, (ii) the conversion
of the registered agent into another person, or (iii) a division of the registered agent in which an identified resulting person succeeds to
all of the assets and liabilities of the registered agent related to its registered agent business pursuant to the plan of division, as set forth
in the certificate of division, shall each be deemed a change of name for purposes of this section. Filing a certificate under this section
shall be deemed to be an amendment of the certificate of formation of each limited liability company affected thereby, and each such
limited liability company shall not be required to take any further action with respect thereto to amend its certificate of formation under
