Sec. 303.

Statement of partnership authority.

(a) A partnership may file a statement of partnership authority, which:

(1) must include:

(i) the name of the partnership;

(ii) the street address of its chief executive

office and of one office in this State, if there is one;

(iii) the names and mailing addresses of all of

the partners or of an agent appointed and maintained by the partnership for the purpose of subsection (b); and

(iv) the names of the partners authorized to

execute an instrument transferring real property held in the name of the partnership; and

(2) may state the authority, or limitations on the

authority, of some or all of the partners to enter into other transactions on behalf of the partnership and any other matter.

(b) If a statement of partnership authority names an agent, the agent shall maintain a list of the
names and mailing addresses of all of the partners and make it available to any person on request
for good cause shown.

(c) If a filed statement of partnership authority is executed pursuant to Section 105(c) and
states the name of the partnership but does not contain all of the other information required by
subsection (a) of this Section, the statement nevertheless operates with respect to a person not a
partner as provided in subsections (d) and (e).

(d) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (g) of this Section, a filed
statement of
partnership authority supplements the authority of a partner to enter into
transactions on behalf of
the partnership as follows:

(1) Except for transfers of real property, a grant of

authority contained in a filed statement of partnership authority is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as and to the extent that a limitation on that authority is not then contained in another filed statement. A filed cancellation of a limitation on authority revives the previous grant of authority.

(2) A grant of authority to transfer real property

held in the name of the partnership contained in a certified copy of a filed statement of partnership authority recorded in the office for recording transfers of that real property is conclusive in favor of a person who gives value without knowledge to the contrary, so long as and to the extent that a certified copy of a filed statement containing a limitation on that authority is not then of record in the office for recording transfers of that real property. The recording in the office for recording transfers of that real property of a certified copy of a filed cancellation of a limitation on authority revives the previous grant of authority.

(e) A person not a partner is deemed to know of a limitation on the authority of a partner to
transfer real property held in the name of the partnership if a certified copy
of the filed statement
containing the limitation on authority is of record in the office for recording
transfers of that real
property.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in subsections (d) and (e) of this Section
and Sections 704
and 805 of this Act, a person not a partner is not deemed to know of a
limitation on the authority
of a partner merely because the limitation is contained in a filed statement.

(g) Unless earlier canceled, a filed statement of partnership authority is
canceled by operation
of law 5 years after the date on which the statement, or the most recent
amendment, was filed with the Secretary of State.
