3.  Contents of amendment.  To amend its certificate of formation, a limited liability company must deliver to the office of the Secretary of State for filing an amendment stating:  
A. The name of the limited liability company;   [PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §3 (AFF).]
B. The date of filing of the limited liability company's certificate of formation; and   [PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2009, c. 629, Pt. A, §3 (AFF).]
