Section 1311. Termination of existence

When  an  authorized foreign corporation is dissolved or its authority
  or existence is otherwise terminated or cancelled in the jurisdiction of
  its incorporation or when such foreign corporation  is  merged  into  or
  consolidated  with  another  foreign  corporation,  a certificate of the
  secretary of state, or official performing the equivalent function as to
  corporate records, of the jurisdiction of incorporation of such  foreign
  corporation attesting to the occurrence of any such event or a certified
  copy of an order or decree of a court of such jurisdiction directing the
  dissolution   of  such  foreign  corporation,  the  termination  of  its
  existence or the cancellation of its authority shall be delivered to the
  department of state. The filing of  the  certificate,  order  or  decree
  shall  have  the same effect as the filing of a certificate of surrender
  of authority under section 1310 (Surrender of authority). The  secretary
  of  state  shall  continue as agent of the foreign corporation upon whom
  process against it may be served in the manner set  forth  in  paragraph
  (b)  of  section  306  (Service  of  process),  in any action or special
  proceeding based upon  any  liability  or  obligation  incurred  by  the
  foreign  corporation  within  this  state  prior  to  the filing of such
  certificate, order or decree and he shall promptly cause a copy  of  any
  such  process to be mailed by registered mail, return receipt requested,
  to such foreign corporation at the post office address on  file  in  his
  office  specified  for  such  purpose.  The  post  office address may be
  changed  by  signing  and  delivering  to  the  department  of  state  a
  certificate  of  change  setting  forth  the  statements  required under
  section 1309-A (Certificate of change; contents) to effect a  change  in
  the  post  office  address  under  subparagraph  (a) (4) of section 1308
  (Amendments or changes).
