The provisions of section one hundred thirty of the general business law shall not apply to any fictitious name filed by a foreign limited liability company pursuant to this section, and a filing under section one hundred thirty of the general business law shall not constitute the adoption of a fictitious name;

When such county is located within a city with a population of one million or more, such designation shall be as though the copy or notice were a notice or advertisement of judicial proceedings. Proof of the publication required by this paragraph, consisting of the certificate of publication of the foreign limited liability company with the affidavits of publication of such newspapers annexed thereto, must be filed with the department of state. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the office of the foreign limited liability company is located in a county wherein a weekly or daily newspaper of the county, or both, has not been so designated by the county clerk, then the publication herein required shall be made in a weekly or daily newspaper of any county, or both, as the case may be, which is contiguous to, such county, provided that any such newspaper meets all the other requirements of this paragraph.

Where, at any time after completion of the six weekly publications required by this paragraph, there is a change to any of the information contained in the copy or notice as published, no further or amended publication or republication shall be required to be made. If within one hundred twenty days after the filing of its application for authority with the department of state, proof of such publication, consisting of the certificate of publication of the foreign limited liability company with the affidavits of publication of the newspapers annexed thereto has not been filed with the department of state, the authority of such foreign limited liability company to carry on, conduct or transact any business in this state shall be suspended, effective as of the expiration of such one hundred twenty day period.

If, at any time following the suspension of a foreign limited liability company's authority to carry on, conduct or transact business in this state pursuant to this paragraph, such foreign limited liability company shall cause proof of publication in substantial compliance with the provisions (other than the one hundred twenty day period) of this paragraph, consisting of the certificate of publication of the foreign limited liability company with the affidavits of publication of the newspapers annexed thereto, to be filed with the department of state, such suspension of such foreign limited liability company's authority to carry on, conduct or transact business shall be annulled.

(4) The failure of a foreign limited liability company that is subject to the provisions of subparagraph two of this paragraph to fully comply with the provisions of said subparagraph two or the suspension of such foreign limited liability company's authority to carry on, conduct or transact any business in this state pursuant to subparagraph three of this paragraph shall not impair or limit the validity of any contract or act of such foreign limited liability company, or any right or remedy of any other party under or by virtue of any contract, act or omission of such foreign limited liability company, or the right of any other party to maintain any action or special proceeding on any such contract, act or omission, or right of such foreign limited liability company to defend any action or special proceeding in this state, or result in any member, manager or agent of such foreign limited liability company becoming liable for the contractual obligations or other liabilities of the foreign limited liability company.

(5) If, at any time following the suspension of a foreign limited liability company's authority to carry on, conduct or transact business in this state, pursuant to subparagraph three of this paragraph, such foreign limited liability company shall cause proof of publication in substantial compliance with the provisions (other than the one hundred twenty day period) of paragraph (i) of this subdivision, consisting of the certificate of publication of the foreign limited liability company with the affidavits of publication of the newspapers annexed thereto, to be filed with the department of state, such suspension of such foreign limited liability company's authority to carry on, conduct or transact business shall be annulled.
