(b) Unless the Department excuses a reasonable delay for good cause shown, the forfeiture is effective 15 days after written notice of forfeiture from the Department, without proceedings of any kind either at law or in equity. (c) The demand for a delinquent report or late filing penalties and the notice of forfeiture shall be addressed to the foreign limited liability partnership: (1) At its address on file with the Department; or (2) If it has no address on file with the Department, in care of the Secretary of State, or corresponding official of the place where it was organized or is existing, if known to the Department.
