    filing each delinquent annual report as provided for in this chapter.

    (2) If the Secretary of State determines that the application satisfies the

    requirement of subsection (1) of this section, he or she shall cancel the

    certificate of dissolution and prepare a certificate of existence that recites his or

    her determination and the effective date of reinstatement, file the original of the

    certificate, and notify the entity of that filing, which notification may be

    accomplished electronically.

    (3) When the reinstatement is effective:

    administrative dissolution:

    (b) The entity shall continue carrying on its business as if the administrative

    dissolution or revocation had never occurred; and

    (c) The liability of any agent shall be determined as if the administrative

    dissolution or revocation had never occurred.

    (4) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any entity which was

    administratively dissolved and has taken the action necessary to wind up and

    liquidate its business and affairs and notify claimants shall be prohibited from

    reinstatement.
