A corporation may restate and integrate in a single certificate the provisions of its certificate of incorporation as theretofore amended, including any provision effected by a merger or consolidation and any further amendments which may be adopted concurrently with the restated certificate. b. If the proposed restated certificate merely restates and integrates, but does not substantively amend the certificate of incorporation as theretofore amended, it may be adopted by the board. c.

A restated certificate shall be executed on behalf of the corporation, and an original and a copy thereof shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State. There shall be attached to it and filed therewith a certificate executed on behalf of the corporation and setting forth: (1) The name of the corporation; (2) Whether the corporation has or does not have members; (3) If the restated certificate was adopted by the board and no amendment to the certificate of incorporation is made thereby, the date of adoption by the board; (4) If the restated certificate was adopted by the board and an amendment to the certificate of incorporation is made by the restated certificate, the date of adoption by the board and either the number of trustees of the corporation, the number of trustees voting for and against the restated certificate, respectively, and the number of trustees present at the meeting; or that the amendment was adopted by the unanimous written consent of the trustees without a meeting; or (5) If the restated certificate was adopted by the members, the date of adoption by the members and either the number of members entitled to vote thereon, the number of members voting for and against the adoption, respectively, if any class or classes of members are entitled to vote thereon as a class, the number of members in each class, the votes of each class voted for and against the adoption respectively and the number of members present at the meeting or that the amendment was adopted by the unanimous written consent of the members without a meeting. f.
