Sec. 11. (a) Whenever it so desires, a limited partnership may integrate into a single instrument all of the provisions of its certificate of limited partnership that are in effect and operative as a result of the previous filing with the secretary of state of one (1) or more certificates or other instruments under this article by filing a restated certificate of limited partnership specifically designated as a “Restated Certificate of Partnership”, and stating in its heading or in a separate paragraph that there is no discrepancy between the provisions of the original certificate of limited partnership with its amendments and the restated certificate. If the restated certificate restates and integrates and also further amends in any respect the certificate of limited partnership, as previously amended or supplemented, it must bear a heading with the words “Amended and Restated Certificate of Limited Partnership” together with such other words as the partnership considers appropriate, it must be executed by at least one (1) general partner and by each other general partner designated in the amended and restated certificate of limited partnership as a new general partner, and it must be filed under section 7 of this chapter in the office of the secretary of state.

     (b) A restated or amended and restated certificate of limited partnership must state, either in its heading or in an introductory paragraph, the limited partnership’s present name (and, if it has been changed, the name under which the limited partnership was originally filed), the date of filing of the original certificate of limited partnership with the secretary of state, and the effective date or time (which must be a date or time certain) of the restated or amended and restated certificate, if it is not to be effective upon the filing of the restated or amended and restated certificate. A restated or amended and restated certificate must also state that it was duly executed and is being filed in accordance with this section.

     (c) Upon the filing of the restated certificate of limited partnership with the secretary of state, or upon the effective date or time provided for in the restated certificate of limited partnership, the initial certificate of limited partnership, as previously amended or supplemented, is superseded. After that filing, the restated certificate of limited partnership, including any further amendment or changes made by the restated certificate, is the certificate of limited partnership, but the original effective date of formation of the limited partnership remains unchanged.

     (d) Any amendment or change effected in connection with the restatement and integration of the certificate of limited partnership under this section is subject to any other provision of this article that is not inconsistent with this section and that would apply if a separate certificate of amendment were filed to effect the amendment or change.
