Any such limited partnership association whose term is about to expire by limitation under the chapter to which this act is a supplement, may at any time within 5 years next preceding the expiration of such term, by a vote of a majority in number and value of interest of its members at any annual or special meeting of its members called for that purpose, renew or continue the existence of such limited partnership association for such further term, not exceeding 20 years from the expiration of its former term, as may be expressed in a resolution for that purpose. Upon the adoption of such resolution, the chairman and secretary of the association shall make, sign and acknowledge a statement of renewal or continuance of the association which shall include the resolution authorizing such renewal or continuance certified by the secretary, which statement shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of the county where the original statement of the limited partnership association is recorded, and the record thereof or a certified copy of such record shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein recited; provided that such limited partnership association shall at the time of filing such renewal statement pay the same fee as would be required in the case of an original formation of such association.
