1. If the board of directors of any corporation organized under this chapter decides
that the corporation should be dissolved, the board may adopt a resolution to that

dissolution. 3. If the corporation has issued stock, the directors must recommend the dissolution
to the stockholders. The board of directors may condition its submission of the proposal for dissolution
on any lawful basis. Unless the dissolution is to be approved by written consent pursuant to NRS 78.320 , the corporation shall notify each stockholder, whether or not entitled to vote on
dissolution, of the proposed dissolution and the stockholders entitled to vote must
approve the dissolution. If the dissolution is approved by written consent pursuant to subsection 2 of NRS 78.320 , the corporation shall notify each stockholder whose written consent was not solicited
of the dissolution, in writing, not later than 10 days after the effective date of
the dissolution. 4. If the dissolution is approved by the directors or both the directors and stockholders,
as respectively provided in subsections 2 and 3, the corporation shall file with the
Secretary of State a certificate signed by an officer of the corporation setting forth
that the dissolution has been approved by the directors, or by the directors and the
stockholders, and a list of the names and addresses, either residence or business,
of the corporation's president, secretary and treasurer, or the equivalent thereof,
and all of its directors. 5. The dissolution takes effect at the time of the filing of the certificate of dissolution
with the Secretary of State or upon a later date and time as specified in the certificate,
which date must be not more than 90 days after the date on which the certificate is
filed. If a certificate of dissolution specifies a later effective date but does not specify
an effective time, the certificate is effective at 12:01 a.m. in the Pacific time
