(a) The certificate of acceptance and any certificates of amendment, correction or cancellation and of any restated certificate shall be delivered to the office of the Secretary of State for filing. A person who executes a certificate as an agent or fiduciary need not exhibit evidence of authority as a prerequisite to filing. Upon receipt of all filing fees required by law, the Secretary of State shall certify that the certificate of acceptance, the certificate of amendment, the certificate of correction, the certificate of cancellation or the restated certificate has been filed in the Secretary’s office by endorsing upon the filed certificate the word, “Filed,” and the date and hour of the filing. This endorsement is conclusive of the date and time of its filing in the absence of actual fraud. The Secretary of State shall thereupon file and index the endorsed certificate.
(b) Upon the filing of a certificate of acceptance in the office of the Secretary of State or upon the future effective date or time of a certificate of acceptance as provided for therein, the certificate of acceptance shall be effective. Upon the filing of a certificate of amendment, certificate of correction or restated certificate in the office of the Secretary of State or upon the future effective date or time of a certificate of amendment or restated certificate as provided for therein, the certificate of acceptance shall be amended or restated as set forth therein. Upon the filing of a certificate of cancellation or upon the future effective date or time of a certificate of cancellation, the certificate of acceptance shall be canceled.
(c) A fee, as set forth in § 1410(a)(1) of this title, shall be paid at the time of the filing of a certificate of acceptance, a certificate of amendment, a certificate of correction or restated certificate.
(d) A fee, as set forth in § 1410(a)(2) of this title shall be paid for a certified copy of any certificate on file as provided for by this chapter and a fee as set forth in § 1410(a)(3) of this title, shall be paid for each page copied.
(e) Any signature on any certificate authorized to be filed with the Secretary of State under any provision of this chapter may be a facsimile, a conformed signature or an electronically transmitted signature. Any such certificate may be filed by telecopy, fax or similar electronic transmission; provided however, that the Secretary of State shall have no obligation to accept such filing if such certificate is illegible or otherwise unsuitable for processing.
