(4) Whether or not the renewal or revival is to be perpetual and, if not perpetual, the time for which the renewal or revival is to continue.

(5) That the foreign business trust desiring to renew or revive its right to transact business in this State is, or has been, organized and carrying on the business authorized by its existing or original certificate of registration and amendments thereto, and desires to renew or continue through revival its transaction of business in this State pursuant to and subject to the provisions of this chapter.

(b) A list of its trustees, or the equivalent thereof, and their addresses, either residence or business.

(c) A declaration under penalty of perjury, on a form provided by the Secretary of State, that the renewal or revival is authorized by a court of competent jurisdiction in this State or by the trustees of the foreign business trust.

A foreign business trust seeking to revive its original or amended certificate authorizing it to transact business in this State shall cause the certificate of revival to be signed by a person or persons designated or appointed by the trustees of the foreign business trust. The signing and filing of the certificate must be approved by the written consent of the trustees of the foreign business trust holding at least a majority of the voting power and must contain a recital that this consent was secured.

The filed certificate of renewal or revival, or a copy thereof which has been certified under the hand and seal of the Secretary of State, must be received in all courts and places as prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated and of the qualification to transact business in this State of the foreign business trust named therein.

5. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 88A.738, a renewal or revival pursuant to this section relates back to the date on which the foreign business trust’s right to transact business in this State was forfeited and renews or revives the foreign business trust’s right to transact business as if such right had at all times remained in full force.
