(1) the name of the entity;
(2) the name of the agent;
(3) that the agent resigns from serving as registered agent for the entity; and
(4) the address of the entity to which the agent will send the notice required by subsection (c).
(b) A statement of resignation takes effect on the earlier of:
(1) the thirty-first day after the day on which it is filed by the secretary of state; or
(2) the designation of a new registered agent for the represented entity.
(c) A registered agent promptly shall furnish to the represented entity notice in a record of the date on which a statement of resignation was filed.
