The agreement shall be recorded in every town in which a portion of the common interest community is located and is not effective until recorded.

      (c) Every merger or consolidation agreement shall provide for the reallocation of the allocated interests in the new association among the units of the resultant common interest community either by stating (1) the reallocations or (2) the formulas on which they are based.
