A. If any document filed with the Office of the Secretary of

correction.

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 18. Corporations

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.
