of law before July 1, 1998, as a consequence of the suspension of such corporation and was
eligible for reinstatement or restoration, renewal, and revival on June 30, 1998.
(2) The dissolution of a corporation shall not eliminate or impair any remedy available to

dissolution or any liability incurred prior to such dissolution if an action or other proceeding is
commenced within two years after the date of the dissolution; except that this subsection (2)
shall not apply to any action affecting the title to real estate. Any action or proceeding by or
against the corporation may be prosecuted or defended by the corporation in its corporate name.

corporate and other action as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any remedy available to
the corporation, or defend any action or proceeding against the corporation.
(3) (a) After dissolution of the corporation, title to any property of the corporation not

majority of the surviving members of the last acting board of directors as named in the files of
the secretary of state shall have the power and ability to:
(I) Sue and be sued in the corporate name, and, for purposes of suit against such
corporation, each director is an agent for service of process; and

corporate property not distributed or disposed of in the dissolution.
