Effect of Termination of Existence of Foreign Electric Cooperative

  When a foreign electric cooperative authorized to transact business in this state is dissolved or its authority or existence is otherwise terminated or canceled in its jurisdiction of incorporation, or when such foreign electric cooperative is merged into or consolidated with another foreign electric cooperative, the foreign electric cooperative or its successor, receiver, or trustee shall deliver for filing with the Secretary of State a certificate of the appropriate official of its jurisdiction of incorporation attesting to the occurrence of any such event or an order or decree of a court of such jurisdiction directing the dissolution of such foreign electric cooperative, the termination of its existence, or the cancellation of its authority, together with a statement of the post office address to which the Secretary of State may mail a copy of any process against the foreign electric cooperative that may be served on him.

No certificate of authority of a foreign electric cooperative shall be revoked by the Secretary of State unless:   He shall have given the foreign electric cooperative not less than 60 days' notice thereof by mail addressed to its registered office in this state; and   The foreign electric cooperative shall fail prior to revocation to file such annual report, or pay such fees or penalties, or file its annual license or occupation tax return, or file the required statement of change of registered agent or registered office, or file such articles of amendment or articles of merger or make application for such amended certificate of authority, or correct such misrepresentation.

  Upon revoking any such certificate of authority, the Secretary of State shall:   Issue a certificate of revocation in duplicate;   File one of such certificates in his office; and   Mail to such foreign electric cooperative at its registered office in this state or, if the foreign electric cooperative has no such registered office, at its last known address either within or without this state as shown by the records of the Secretary of State, a notice of such revocation accompanied by one of such certificates.

Transacting Business Without Certificate of Authority

  A foreign electric cooperative that is required under this article to obtain a certificate of authority but fails to do so shall be liable to this state for the years or parts thereof during which it transacted business in this state without a certificate of authority, in an amount equal to all fees which would have been imposed by this article upon such foreign electric cooperative had it duly applied for and received a certificate of authority to transact business in this state as required by this article and thereafter filed all reports required by this article, plus all penalties imposed by this article. The Attorney General, at the direction of the Secretary of State, shall bring proceedings in the name of the state to recover all amounts due this state under this Code section.   No foreign electric cooperative that is required under this article to obtain a certificate of authority shall be permitted to maintain any action or proceeding in any court of this state unless before commencement of the action it shall have obtained such a certificate. No action or proceeding may be maintained in any court of this state by any foreign electric cooperative that is the successor or assignee of such foreign electric cooperative on any right, claim, or demand arising out of the transaction of business by such foreign electric cooperative in this state unless before commencement of the action a certificate of authority shall have been obtained by such foreign electric cooperative or by a foreign electric cooperative which has acquired all or substantially all of its assets.   The failure of a foreign electric cooperative to obtain a certificate of authority to transact business in this state shall render voidable any contract of such foreign electric cooperative arising out of business transacted in this state at the instance of any other party to such contract; but such voidability may be cured by the foreign electric cooperative's obtaining a certificate of authority, provided that such certificate of authority is obtained prior to final judgment in any action wherein this subsection is relied upon. The failure of such foreign electric cooperative to obtain a certificate of authority shall not prevent such foreign electric cooperative from defending any action or proceeding in any court of this state, nor shall any party avail himself of the benefit of subsection (b) of this Code section except upon motion prior to judgment.

Such annual report shall be made on forms prescribed by the Secretary of State; and the information therein contained shall be given as of the date of the execution of the report. The Secretary of State shall mail such report forms to the last known address of each electric membership corporation and foreign electric cooperative; however, the failure of any electric membership corporation or foreign electric cooperative to receive such forms shall not relieve that electric membership corporation or foreign electric cooperative of its responsibility to obtain appropriate forms, to complete them, and to file them with the Secretary of State. In the event an electric membership corporation or foreign electric cooperative has not filed a report within two previous calendar years, the Secretary of State shall not be required to mail to such electric membership corporation or foreign electric cooperative the required forms.
