2. To delete the names and addresses of the initial directors.
3. To delete the name and address of the initial registered agent or registered office, if a statement of change is on file with the secretary of state.

5. To change the corporate name by substituting the word "corporation", "incorporated", "company", "limited", or the abbreviation "corp.", "inc.", "co.", or "ltd.", for a similar word or abbreviation in the name, or by adding, deleting, or changing a geographical attribution for the name.
