Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  If any document filed with the Office of the Secretary of
State under Section 2000 et seq. of this title is an inaccurate
record of the action referred to or was defectively or erroneously
executed, the document may be corrected by the filing of articles of
correction.

B.  Articles of correction shall set forth:
1.  The title of the document being corrected;
2.  The date that the document being corrected was filed; and
3.  The provision in the document as previously filed and as
corrected and, if execution of the document was defective, the
manner in which it was defective.
C.  Articles of correction may not make any other change or
amendment which would not have complied in all respects with the
requirements of the Oklahoma Limited Liability Company Act at the
time the document being corrected was filed.
D.  Articles of correction shall be executed in the same manner
in which the document being corrected was required to be executed.
E.  Articles of correction may not:
1.  Change the effective date of the document being corrected;
or
2.  Affect any right or liability accrued or incurred before its
filing, except that any right or liability accrued or incurred by
reason of the error or defect being corrected shall be extinguished
by the filing if the person having the right has not detrimentally
relied on the original document.
F.  Notwithstanding that any instrument authorized to be filed
with the Secretary of State pursuant to the provisions of the
Oklahoma Limited Liability Company Act is, when filed inaccurately,
defectively, or erroneously executed, sealed or acknowledged, or
otherwise defective in any respect, the Secretary of State shall not
be liable to any person for the preclearance for filing, or the
filing and indexing of the instrument by the Secretary of State.
G.  In lieu of filing articles of correction, a document may be
corrected by filing with the Secretary of State a corrected document
which shall be executed and filed as if the corrected document were
the document being corrected, and a fee equal to the fee payable to
the Secretary of State for articles of correction as prescribed by
Section 2055 of this title shall be paid to the Secretary of State.
The corrected document shall be specifically designated as such in
its heading, shall specify the inaccuracy or defect to be corrected,
and shall set forth the entire document in corrected form.  A
document corrected in accordance with this section shall be
effective as of the date the original document was filed, except as
to those persons who are substantially and adversely affected by the
correction and as to those persons the document as corrected shall
be effective from the filing date.
