[§425R-10]  Resignation of registered agent. 
(a)  A registered agent may resign at any time with respect to a represented
entity by filing with the director a certified statement of resignation signed
by or on behalf of the agent that states:



(1)  The name of the entity;



(2)  The name of the agent;



(3)  That the agent resigns from serving as agent for
service of process for the entity; and



(4)  The name and address of the person to which the
agent will send the notice required by subsection (c).



(b)  A statement of resignation takes effect on
the earlier of the thirty-first day after the day on which it is filed or the
appointment of a new registered agent for the represented entity.



(c)  The registered agent shall promptly
furnish the represented entity notice in a record of the date on which a
statement of resignation was filed.



(d)  When a statement of resignation takes

to a represented entity whether or not the entity is in good standing. [L 2009,
