公司州内法人化证明以及公司注册证明根据本篇第103节规定生效后，该非美国实体即完成州内法人化过程成为本州公司。此后，该公司需要遵守本篇的所有规定，但本篇第106节除外。并且，尽管该106节做出相关规定，该非美国实体在其最初组建、设立、创立或以其他方式形成时所处司法辖区内开始存续之日，应被视为（州内法人化之后的）该公司开始存续开始之日。

(f)         The filing of a certificate of corporate domestication shall not affect the choice of law applicable to the non-United States entity, except that, from the effective time of the domestication, the law of the State of Delaware, including this title, shall apply to the non-United States entity to the same extent as if the non-United States entity had been incorporated as a corporation of this State on that date.

提交备案公司州内法人化证明不得影响选择适用于该非美国实体的法律，但自从州内法人化生效开始，包括本篇在内的特拉华州法律在同等范围内适用于该非美国实体，一如该非美国实体是在该日期组建的本州公司。

在公司州内法人化按照对该非美国实体的内部事务及经营活动有管辖作用的文件、文书、协议或其他书面文件（视情况而定），或者根据任何适用的非特拉华州法律（以适用为准）规定的方式获得批准、并且，公司注册证明也获得同样批准之后，该公司的州内法人化证明方可提交州务卿备案。

 

(i)         When a non-United States entity has become domesticated as a corporation pursuant to this section, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, the corporation shall be deemed to be the same entity as the domesticating non-United States entity and the domestication shall constitute a continuation of the existence of the domesticating non-United States entity in the form of a corporation of this State. When any domestication shall have become effective under this section, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, all of the rights, privileges and powers of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated, and all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due to such non-United States entity, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to such non-United States entity, shall remain vested in the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also in the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication) and shall be the property of such corporation (and also of the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication), and the title to any real property vested by deed or otherwise in such non-United States entity shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of this title; but all rights of creditors and all liens upon any property of such non-United States entity shall be preserved unimpaired, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity that has been domesticated shall remain attached to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has been domesticated (and also to the non-United States entity, if and for so long as the non-United States entity continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to the domestication), and may be enforced against it to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities and duties had originally been incurred or contracted by it in its capacity as such corporation. The rights, privileges, powers and interests in property of the non-United States entity, as well as the debts, liabilities and duties of the non-United States entity, shall not be deemed, as a consequence of the domestication, to have been transferred to the corporation to which such non-United States entity has domesticated for any purpose of the laws of the State of Delaware.

非美国实体根据本节规定实施州内法人化变为本州公司后，为了特拉华州法律的所有目的，该公司应被视为与被法人化的该非美国实体系同一实体，该法人化过程应当构成被法人化的非美国实体以本州公司的形式继续存续。任何州内法人化根据本节规定生效时，为了特拉华州法律的所有目的，（1）实施法人化的非美国实体的所有权利、权力和特权；（2）所有财产（包括动产、不动产和混合财产）；（3）应付给该非美国实体的所有债务；以及（4）属于该非美国实体的所有其他所有物和诉权，都应当归属于该非美国实体完成州内法人化后形成的本州公司。如果、且只要该非美国实体在其实施法人化之前所在的域外辖区继续存续，则上述各项应当同时归属于完成州内法人化过程之后的本州公司以及在域外辖区内存续的该非美国实体；进而，上述各项应当成为该本州公司的财产（如果、且只要该非美国实体在其被法人化之前所在的域外辖区继续存续，则上述各项应当同时成为法人化之后的本州公司以及在域外辖区内存续的该非美国实体的财产）。并且，通过契据或其他方式归属于该非美国实体的、对任何不动产的所有权不得因为本篇规定之原因返还给原所有人或受到任何损害。但，该非美国实体的所有债权人权利，以及就该非美国实体任何财产所设定的留置权应当予以完整保留，不受任何损害；完成州内法人化过程的非美国实体的所有债务、责任和义务应当由该非美国实体完成法人化过程之后形成的公司承担（或者，如果、且只要该非美国实体在其完成州内法人化之前所在的域外辖区继续存续，则由该公司与在域外辖区内继续存续的非美国实体共同承担），并且可以针对该公司或实体强制执行，一如该等债务、责任或义务原本就是该公司以其本州公司身份发生或以合同约定的。非美国实体的权利、优先权、权力和财产权益，以及该非美国实体的债务、责任和义务均不得为了特拉华州法律的任何目的，被视为因为州内法人化而转让给该非美国实体在实施州内法人化之后形成的公司。

 

(j)         Unless otherwise agreed or otherwise required under applicable non-Delaware law, the domesticating non-United States entity shall not be required to wind up its affairs or pay its liabilities and distribute its assets, and the domestication shall not be deemed to constitute a dissolution of such non-United States entity. If, following domestication, a non-United States entity that has become domesticated as a corporation of this State continues its existence in the foreign jurisdiction in which it was existing immediately prior to domestication, the corporation and such non-United States entity shall, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, constitute a single entity formed, incorporated, created or otherwise having come into being, as applicable, and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and the laws of such foreign jurisdiction.

除非另有约定或适用的非特拉华州法律另有要求，否则不得要求实施州内法人化的非美国实体停业清理其各项事务、偿还债务并分配资产；并且，此州内法人化不得被视为构成该非美国实体的解散。如果通过州内法人化程序成为本州公司的非美国实体，在完成州内法人化程序之后，会在其此前存续的域外辖区内继续存续，则州内法人化之后形成的公司以及该非美国实体应当为了特拉华州法律的所有目的，构成同时根据特拉华州法律和该域外辖区法律组建、设立、创立或以其他方式形成的（以适用为主）同一个实体。

 

(k)        In connection with a domestication under this section, shares of stock, rights or securities of, or interests in, the non-United States entity that is to be domesticated as a corporation of this State may be exchanged for or converted into cash, property, or shares of stock, rights or securities of such corporation or, in addition to or in lieu thereof, may be exchanged for or converted into cash, property, or shares of stock, rights or securities of, or interests in, another corporation or other entity or may be cancelled.

在根据本节规定进行州内法人化的时候，将要通过州内法人化成为本州公司的非美国实体的股份、权利、证券或利益可以兑换或转换为该本州公司的现金、财产、股份、权利或证券。或者作为补充或替代，也可以兑换或转换为另一家公司或其他实体的现金、财产、股份、权利、证券或权益，也可以予以撤销。

In addition, the Secretary of State shall enter the name of the non- United States entity on the Secretary of State's reserved list to remain there so long as the non-United States entity is in compliance with this section. The Secretary of State may waive the 30-day period and translation requirement provided for in this subsection upon request by such entity, supported by facts (including, without limitation, the existence of an emergency condition) justifying such waiver. No document submitted under this subsection shall be available for public inspection pursuant to Chapter 100 of Title 29 until, and unless, such entity effects a transfer of its domicile as provided in this section.

如果本节(c)(1)-(5)段提及的任何文件不是英文文件，则需要随附由翻译者宣誓提供的文件译文。如果上述文件符合本节各项要求，并且该非美国实体的名称也符合本篇第102(a)(1)节的要求，则州务卿应当通知该非美国实体，已经接受上述文件并予以备案。同时，上述文件接收备案及州务卿就此所做的通知应当反映在州务卿记录中。此外，州务卿还应当将该非美国实体的名称登入州务卿所保存的名单中，并在该非美国实体遵守本节规定的情况下保留此项记录。除非且直至该非美国实体按照本节规定转移其住所，否则根据本款提交的任何文件均不得根据第29篇第100章之规定提供给公众查阅住所。经非美国实体申请，并经事实（包括但不限于紧急情况的存在）证明合理的，州务卿可以放弃本款规定的30天期限和翻译要求。。

 

(d)        On or before March 1 in each year, prior to the transfer of its domicile as provided for in subsection (e) of this section, during any such transfer and, in the event that it desires to continue to be subject to a transfer of domicile under this section, after its domicile has ceased to be in this State, the non-United States entity shall file a certificate executed by an appropriate officer or director of the non-United States entity, certifying that the documents submitted pursuant to this section remain in full force and effect or attaching any amendments or supplements thereto and translated as required in subsection (c) of this section, together with the filing fee prescribed under § 391 of this title. In the event that any non-United States entity fails to file the required certificate on or before March 1 in each year, all certificates and filings made pursuant to this section shall become null and void on March 2 in such year, and any proposed transfer thereafter shall be subject to all of the required submissions and the examination fee set forth in subsection (c) of this section.

每年3月1日或该日之前、在依照本节(e)款之规定转移其住所之前、在转移过程中、以及，在该实体在其住所移出本州之后仍然希望符合本节中有关住所转移要求的，该非美国实体应当提交备案一份经其相关高级职员或董事签署的证明，证实根据本节提交的各文件仍然保有充分的效力；也可以随附一份修订案或者补充文件以及按照本节(c)款要求的译本，并按照本篇第391节之规定缴纳备案费用。如果任何非美国实体未能于每年的3月1日或该日之前提交要求的各项证明，则根据本节提交的所以证明及其备案将自该年度3月2日起失效。同时，此后希望进行任何转移的，均应当遵守本节(c)款中有关文件提交和检验费用的所有规定。

 

(e)        If the Secretary of State accepts the documents submitted pursuant to subsection (c) of this section for filing, such entity may transfer its domicile to this State at any time by means of a written communication to such effect addressed to the Secretary of State, signed by 1 of the persons named on the list filed pursuant to paragraph (c)(4)d. of this section, and confirming that the statements made pursuant to paragraph (c)(4) of this section remain true and correct; provided, that if emergency conditions have affected ordinary means of communication, such notification may be made by telegram, telex, telecopy or other form of writing so long as a duly signed duplicate is received by the Secretary of State within 30 days thereafter. The records of the Secretary of State shall reflect the fact of such transfer. Upon the payment to the Secretary of State of the fee prescribed under § 391 of this title, the Secretary of State shall certify that the non- United States entity has filed all documents and paid all fees required by this title. Such certificate of the Secretary of State shall be prima facie evidence of transfer by such non-United States entity of its domicile into this State.

如果州务卿接受了根据本节(c)款提交的各项文件并对其进行备案，则该实体在书面通知州务卿之后，可随时将其住所移至本州。但该书面通知需要由根据本节第(c)(4)d.段提交备案的名单中所列任何一人签字，并确认根据本节(c)(4)段规定所做的声明仍然真实无误；但是，如果出现了影响正常通讯方式的紧急情况，则可以通过电报、电传、传真或其他书面形式发送此等通知，但需要在此后30日之内将经正式签署的通知副本送达州务卿。州务卿应当就上述住所的转移进行记录。该实体向州务卿支付了本篇第391节所述费用之后，州务卿应当证实，该非美国实体已经按照本篇规定提交了所有文件，缴纳了所有费用。州务卿出具的此项证明应当作为该非美国实体将其住所转入本州的初步证据。

 

(f)         Except to the extent expressly prohibited by the laws of this State, from and after the time that a non-United States entity transfers its domicile to this State pursuant to this section, the non-United States entity shall have all of the powers which it had immediately prior to such transfer under the law of the jurisdiction governing its internal affairs and the directors and officers designated pursuant to paragraph (c)(3) of this section, and their successors, may manage the business and affairs of the non-United States entity in accordance with the laws of such jurisdiction. Any such activity conducted pursuant to this section shall not be deemed to be doing business within this State for purposes of § 371 of this title. Any reference in this section to the law of the jurisdiction governing the internal affairs of a non-United States entity which has transferred its domicile into this State shall be deemed to be a reference to such law as in effect immediately prior to the transfer of domicile.

除本州法律明令禁止之外，在一个非美国实体根据本节规定将其住所转入本州之后，该美国实体应当享有其在此等转移之前、在该司法辖区内管辖该非美国实体内部事务的法律项下所享有的所有权利；住所根据本节(c)(3)段之规定指定的董事和高级职员及其继受人可以根据该司法辖区的法律管理该非美国实体的业务和各项事务。为了本篇第371节之目的，根据本节规定采取的各项行动不得被视为在本州经营业务。一家非美国实体已经将其住所转入本州的，本节中提及的“该司法辖区管辖该非美国实体内部事务的法律”住所系指在其将住所转入本州之前住所有效的该等法律。

 

(g)        For purposes of any action in the courts of this State, no non-United States entity which has obtained the certificate of the Secretary of State referred to in subsection (e) of this section shall be deemed to be an "enemy" person or entity for any purpose, including, without limitation, in relation to any claim of title to its assets, wherever located, or to its ability to institute suit in said courts.

为了在本州法院所发生的任何诉讼之目的，已经取得本节(e)款所述州务卿所出具之证明的非美国实体不得为了任何目的被视为“敌方人员或实体”。此等目的包括但不限于就该实体资产主张所有权的（不管该资产所处位置）、或者就其在该法院提起诉讼之能力的目的。

 

(h)        The transfer by any non-United States entity of its domicile into this State shall not be deemed to affect any obligations or liabilities of such non-United States entity incurred prior to such transfer.

任何非美国实体将其住所转入本州的，不得被视为影响其在该转移之前所发生的任何义务或责任。

 

(i)         The directors of any non-United States entity which has transferred its domicile into this State may withhold from any holder of equity interests in such entity any amounts payable to such holder on account of dividends or other distributions, if the directors shall determine that such holder will not have the full benefit of such payment, so long as the directors shall make provision for the retention of such withheld payment in escrow or under some similar arrangement for the benefit of such holder.

将其住所转入本州的任何非美国实体，如果因为股息或其他分配款而应付给该实体任何股权持有人任何款项，那么，该实体董事在认定该股权持有人对此等款项不享有充分特权的情况下，可以扣留这部分款项，但需要为了该股权持有人的利益，将此等扣留的款项交由托管方代为管理，或者做其他类似安排。

 

(j)         All process issued out of any court of this State, all orders made by any court of this State and all rules and notices of any kind required to be served on any non-United States entity which has transferred its domicile into this State may be served on the non- United States entity pursuant to § 321 of this title in the same manner as if such entity were a corporation of this State. The directors of a non-United States entity which has transferred its domicile into this State shall agree in writing that they will be amenable to service of process by the same means as, and subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of this State to the same extent as are directors of corporations of this State, and such agreements shall be submitted to the Secretary of State for filing before the respective directors take office.

本州任何法院发出的所有令状、做出的所有命令、以及所有裁定及通知，凡需要送达给将其住所转入本州的任何非美国实体的，均可以按照本篇第321节的规定，按照送达本州公司的同样的方式交送该实体。将其住所转入本州的非美国实体的董事应当书面同意，他们将像本州公司的董事一样，以同样的方式处理书状送达；向本州公司的董事一样服从本州该等法院的司法管辖。并且，该等同意书应当在该等董事就任之前提交给州务卿备案。

 

(k) Any non-United States entity which has transferred its domicile into this State may voluntarily return to the jurisdiction the law of which governs its internal affairs by filing with the Secretary of State an application to withdraw from this State. Such application shall be accompanied by a resolution of the directors of the non-United States entity authorizing such withdrawal and by a certificate of the highest diplomatic or consular official of such jurisdiction accredited to the United States indicating the consent of such jurisdiction to such withdrawal. The application shall also contain, or be accompanied by, the agreement of the non-United States entity that it may be served with process in this State in any proceeding for enforcement of any obligation of the non-United States entity arising prior to its withdrawal from this State, which agreement shall include the appointment of the Secretary of State as the agent of the non-United States entity to accept service of process in any such proceeding and shall specify the address to which a copy of process served upon the Secretary of State shall be mailed. Upon the payment of any fees and taxes owed to this State, the Secretary of State shall file the application and the non-United States entity's domicile shall, as of the time of filing, cease to be in this State.

将其住所转入本州的任何非美国实体可以向州务卿提交备案一份申请之后自愿撤离本州，回到管辖其内部事务的法律所属的司法辖区。提交上述申请的同时，还应当提交（1）该非美国实体董事会决议，授权上述撤离；以及（2）由获得美国认可的该司法辖区内最高外交官员或最高领事官员签发的证明，证实该司法辖区批准该实体从本州撤离。上述申请中还应当包含、或者随附一份该非美国实体出具的函件，借此同意：在该实体移出本州之前发生的、为强制执行该非美国实体任何义务而提起的任何司法程序，可向该实体送达诉讼书状；并在函件中指定州务卿为该非美国实体的代理人，代为接收上述任何诉讼书状，同时还应当具体列明州务卿寄送该等书状副本的地址。在该美国实体按要求向本州缴纳了应付的所有费用和税款后，州务卿将对上述申请进行备案。自备案时间开始，该实体的住所移出本州。
