After the revocation of dissolution is authorized, the corporation may revoke the dissolution by delivering to the department for filing articles of revocation of dissolution, together with a copy of its articles of dissolution, that include all of the following information:
      (a)    The name of the corporation.
      (b)    The effective date of the dissolution that was revoked.

   (4)   Effective date. Revocation of dissolution is effective upon the effective date of the articles of revocation of dissolution.
   (5)   Effect of revocation. When the revocation of dissolution is effective, it relates back to and takes effect as of the effective date of the dissolution and the corporation resumes carrying on its activities as if dissolution had never occurred.
