In an action by the attorney general when it is established that: (1) The articles and certificate of incorporation were obtained through fraud;(2) The corporation should not have been formed under this chapter;(3) The corporation failed to comply with the requirements of sections 10-33-02 through 10-33-19 essential to incorporation under or election to become governed by this chapter;(4) The corporation has flagrantly violated a provision of this chapter, has violated a provision of this chapter more than once, or has violated more than one provision of this chapter;(5) The corporation has engaged in an unauthorized act, contract, conveyance, or transfer or has exceeded its powers;(6) The corporation has acted, or failed to act, in a manner that constitutes surrender or abandonment of the corporate purpose, franchise, privileges, or enterprise;(7) The corporation has liabilities and obligations exceeding the corporate assets;(8) The period of corporate existence has ended without extension;(9) The corporation has failed for a period of ninety days to pay fees, charges, or penalties required by this chapter;(10) The corporation has failed for a period of thirty days:(a) To appoint and maintain a registered agent in this state as provided in chapter 10-01.1; or(b) After changing its registered office, to file with the secretary of state a statement of the change as provided in chapter 10-01.1;(11) The corporation has answered falsely or failed to answer a reasonable written interrogatory from the secretary of state or the attorney general to the corporation, its officers, or directors;(12) The corporation has solicited property and has failed to use it for the purpose solicited; or(13) The corporation has fraudulently used or solicited property.e. An action may not be commenced under subdivision d until thirty days after notice to the corporation by the attorney general of the reason for the filing of the action. If the reason for filing the action is an act that the corporation has done, or omitted to do, and the act or omission may be corrected by an amendment of the articles or bylaws or by performance of or abstention from the act, the attorney general shall give the corporation thirty additional days in which to effect the correction before filing the action.2. In determining whether to order equitable relief or dissolution under this section, the court shall consider the financial condition of the corporation but may not refuse to order equitable relief or dissolution solely on the ground that the corporation is solvent.3. In deciding whether to order dissolution, the court shall consider whether lesser relief suggested by one or more parties, such as any form of equitable relief or a partial liquidation, would be adequate to permanently relieve the circumstances established under subdivision b, c, or d of subsection 1. Lesser relief may be ordered if it would be appropriate under the facts and circumstances of the case.4. If the court finds that a party to a proceeding brought under this section has acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or otherwise not in good faith, it may award reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees and disbursements, to any of the other parties.5. Proceedings under this section must be brought in a court within the county in which the principal executive office of the corporation is located. It is not necessary to make members parties to the action or proceeding unless relief is sought against them personally.
