Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 13.1-1078. Surrender of articles of organization upon domestication.
A. Whenever a domestic limited liability company has approved, in the manner required by this article, a plan of domestication providing for the limited liability company to be domesticated under the laws of another jurisdiction, the limited liability company shall file with the Commission articles of organization surrender setting forth:

5. A statement that the articles of organization surrender are being filed in connection with the domestication of the limited liability company as a foreign limited liability company to be organized under the laws of another jurisdiction and that the limited liability company is surrendering its certificate of organization under the laws of this Commonwealth;
5 6. A statement that the limited liability
company revokes the authority of its registered agent to accept service on its
behalf and appoints the clerk of the Commission as its agent for service of
process in any proceeding based on a cause of action arising during the time it
was organized in this Commonwealth;
6 7. A mailing address to which the clerk may
mail a copy of any process served on him under subdivision 5; and
7 8. A commitment to notify the clerk of the
Commission in the future of any change in the mailing address of the limited

B. If the Commission finds that the articles of organization surrender comply with the requirements of law and that all required fees have been paid, it shall issue a certificate of organization surrender.
C. The limited liability company shall automatically cease to be a domestic limited liability company when the certificate of organization surrender becomes effective.
D. If the former domestic limited liability company intends to continue to transact business in the Commonwealth, then, within thirty days after the effective date of the certificate of organization surrender, it shall deliver to the Commission an application for a certificate of registration to transact business in the Commonwealth pursuant to § 13.1-1052 together with a copy of its instrument of domestication and articles of organization and all amendments thereto, duly authenticated by the Secretary of State or other official having custody of limited liability company records in the state or other jurisdiction under whose laws it is organized or domesticated.

If any member, manager, agent or employee of a professional

employee shall immediately sever all employment with, and financial interests
in, that professional limited liability company except that the member,
