The dissolution of a corporation either by the issuance of a certificate of dissolution by the corporation commission [secretary of state], or by a decree of court when the court has not liquidated the assets and affairs of the corporation as provided in the Nonprofit Corporation Act, or by expiration of its period of duration, shall not take away or impair any remedy available to or against the corporation, its directors, officers or members, for any right or claim existing, or any liability incurred, prior to the dissolution if action or other proceeding thereon is commenced within two years after the date of dissolution. Any such action or proceeding by or against the corporation may be prosecuted or defended by the corporation in its corporate name. The members, directors and officers shall have power to take such corporate or other action as shall be appropriate to protect such remedy, right or claim. If the corporation was dissolved by the expiration of its period of duration, the corporation may amend its articles of incorporation at any time during such period of two years so as to extend its period of duration.
