     (3)  State a corporate name that satisfies the requirements of § 48-54-101.

(b)  (1)  If the secretary of state determines that the application contains the information required by subsection (a) and that the information is correct, the secretary of state shall reinstate the certificate of authority, prepare a certificate that recites this determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the certificate, and serve a copy on the corporation under § 48-55-104.

     (2)  If the corporate name in subdivision (a)(3) is different than the corporate name in subdivision (a)(1), the application for reinstatement shall constitute an amendment to its certificate of authority insofar as it pertains to the corporate name.
