The incorporators of any corporation to be governed by this article shall prepare and file in the office of the probate judge of the county in which said corporation is to have its principal place of business a certificate of intention to become such a corporation, which certificate shall be signed by each of the incorporators and shall set forth:

(2) The objects and purposes for which the corporation is organized;

(3) The location of the principal office of the corporation in this state; and

(4) The name and post-office address of each incorporator, not less than three in number.

The certificate may also contain any other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this article, which the incorporators may desire to insert for the regulation of the business or affairs of the corporation or which would be permitted nonprofit corporations by Chapter 3A of this title.
