　　如果外州法域内的法律允许实体转化, 则本州的公司可以变成外州的非公司实体.

　　(c) A domestic unincorporated entity may become a domestic business corporation. If the organic law of a domestic unincorporated entity does not provide procedures for the approval of an entity conversion, the conversion shall be adopted and approved, and the entity conversion effectuated, in the same manner as a merger of the unincorporated entity. If the organic law of a domestic unincorporated entity does not provide procedures for the approval of either an entity conversion or a merger, a plan of entity conversion shall be adopted and approved, the entity conversion effectuated, and appraisal rights exercised, in accordance with the procedures in this subchapter and chapter 13. Without limiting the provisions of this subsection, a domestic unincorporated entity whose organic law does not provide procedures for the approval of an entity conversion shall be subject to subsection (e) and section 9.52(7). For purposes of applying this subchapter and chapter 13:

　　一个本州的非公司实体可以变成一个本州的公司。如果本州非公司实体的组织法没有规定实体转化的批准程序， 则这一转化应该按照非公司实体合并的方式被通过和批准，并且该实体转化有效。 如果本州非公司实体的组织法没有规定实体转化或合并的批准程序，则应依据本分章和第13章规定的程序，通过和批准实体转化计划书，该实体转化生效。一个本州的非公司实体，其组织法并没有规定实体转化的批准程序的，在不与本分节规定冲突的情况下，应该受(e)小节和9.52(7)节规定的限制。就本分章和第13章的适用而言：

　　(1) the unincorporated entity, its interest holders, interests and organic documents taken together, shall be deemed to be a domestic business corporation, shareholders, shares and articles of incorporation, respectively and vice versa, as the context may require; and

　　根据上下文的理解需要，非公司实体，其利益持有人，利益和所使用的组织文件，各自应该被认为是公司，股东和股份和公司章程，反之亦然;和

　　(2) if the business and affairs of the unincorporated entity are managed by a group of persons that is not identical to the interest holders, that group shall be deemed to be the board of directors.

　　如果管理非公司实体业务和事务的那组人并不是利益持有人，则该组人应被视为是公司的董事会。

　　(d) A foreign unincorporated entity may become a domestic business corporation if the organic law of the foreign unincorporated entity authorizes it to become a corporation in another jurisdiction.

　　如果一个外州的非公司实体的组织法授权它可以变成适用另一个法域管辖的公司，则该非公司实体可以变成本州的公司。

　　(e) If any debt security, note or similar evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed, whether secured or unsecured, or a contract of any kind, issued, incurred or executed by a domestic business corporation before [the effective date of this subchapter], applies to a merger of the corporation and the document does not refer to an entity conversion of the corporation, the provision shall be deemed to apply to an entity conversion of the corporation until such time as the provision is amended subsequent to that date.

　　§ 9.52. ACTION ON A PLAN OF ENTITY CONVERSION 依据实体转化计划采取的行为

　　In the case of an entity conversion of a domestic business corporation to a domestic or foreign unincorporated entity:

　　如果实体转化是由本州的公司转化为本州或外州的非公司实体：

　　(1)The plan of entity conversion must be adopted by the board of directors.

　　实体转化计划书应由董事会来选定。

　　(2) After adopting the plan of entity conversion, the board of directors must submit the plan to the shareholders for their approval. The board of directors must also transmit to the shareholders a recommendation that the shareholders approve the plan, unless the board of directors makes a determination that because of conflicts of interest or other special circumstances it should not make such a recommendation, in which case the board of directors must transmit to the shareholders the basis for that determination.

　　在选定了实体计划书之后，董事会必须将计划书提交股东批准。董事会也可以给股东传送一份建议书，建议股东批准该计划书，除非董事会认为，因为利益的冲突或其他特殊的情况不应该制作建议书，在这种情况下，董事会必须向股东报告该决定作出的依据。

　　(3) The board of directors may condition its submission of the plan of entity conversion to the shareholders on any basis.

　　董事会也可以以任何原因，视情况向股东提交实体转化计划书。

　　(4) If the approval of the shareholders is to be given at a meeting, the corporation must notify each shareholder, whether or not entitled to vote, of the meeting of shareholders at which the plan of entity conversion is to be submitted for approval. The notice must state that the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is to consider the plan and must contain or be accompanied by a copy or summary of the plan. The notice shall include or be accompanied by a copy of the organic documents as they will be in effect immediately after the entity conversion.

　　如果股东通过会议决定是否批准该计划书，则公司必须通知每一个股东，实体转化计划书将被提交至股东大会来批准，不管股东是否有权投票。该通知书中必须陈述会议的目的或目的之一是讨论该计划书，并且该通知书中应包含或附随一份计划摘要的副本。在实体转化之后组织文件随即生效时，该通知应包含或附随一份组织文件的副本。

　　(5) Unless the articles of incorporation, or the board of directors acting pursuant to paragraph (3), requires a greater vote or a greater number of votes to be present, approval of the plan of entity conversion requires the approval of each class or series of shares of the corporation voting as a separate voting group at a meeting at which a quorum of the voting group consisting of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the conversion by that voting group exists.

　　除非公司章程，或董事会依据(3)节的规定，要求一个更多的票数或更多的出席会议的票数，批准实体转化计划书要求作为投票团体在会议上投票的每一种类或系列的公司股票的批准，该会议上存在至少包含有权对该计划书投票的多数票的投票团体的法定人数。

　　(6) If any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws or an agreement to which any of the directors or shareholders are parties, adopted or entered into before [the effective date of this subchapter], applies to a merger of the corporation and the document does not refer to an entity conversion of the corporation, the provision shall be deemed to apply to an entity conversion of the corporation until such time as the provision is subsequently amended.

　　在[本分章生效日之]之前，如果公司章程、内部规章细则或一个由任何董事或股东作为当事人的合同中被采用或生效的条款适用于公司的合并，并且这一文书并未提到该公司实体转化的问题，则该条款应被视为适用于该公司的实体转化，一直到该条款后来被修订时为止。

　　(7) If as a result of the conversion one or more shareholders of the corporation would become subject to owner liability for the debts, obligations or liabilities of any other person or entity, approval of the plan of conversion shall require the execution, by each such shareholder, of a separate written consent tobecome subject to such owner liability.

　　如果由于实体转化，一个或一个以上的公司股东需要对任何其他人或实体的债务、义务或责任承担所有者责任，则实体转化计划书的批准要求每一个这样的股东签署一个独立的，表明其承担这一所有者责任的书面同意书。

　　§ 9.53. ARTICLES OF ENTITY CONVERSION 实体转化的章程
