2. To correct a record, the corporation sole must:
(a) Prepare a certificate of correction which:
(1) States the name of the corporation sole;
(2) Describes the record, including, without limitation, its filing date;
(3) Specifies the inaccuracy or defect in the record, including, without limitation, if and to the extent applicable, the error in the filing of the record;

(b) Deliver the certificate to the Secretary of State for filing.
(c) Pay a filing fee of $25 to the Secretary of State.
