A delayed effective date for a document shall not be later than the thirtieth day after the date it is filed.(c) If a partnership has terminated by the expiration of its term of existence, the partners may, at any time within two years of such termination, by taking action consistent with the partnership agreement and by amending the partnership's certificate of limited partnership, extend the term of partnership. Such extension shall be effective from the original filing of the certificate.(d) Within the applicable two-year period, should the name of the limited partnership, or a name substantially identical, be registered or reserved by another entity or should such name or a name substantially identical be registered as a trade name, trademark, or service mark, then extension of its term of existence shall be allowed only upon the registration of a new name by the limited partnership pursuant to the amendment provisions of this chapter.
