  the enterprise’s designated office is or was last located; (2) describe the information required to be contained in a claim and provide an address
  to which the claim is to be sent; and (3) state that a claim against the enterprise is barred unless an action to enforce the
  claim is commenced not later than three years after publication of the notice. (c) If a dissolved mutual benefit enterprise publishes a notice in accordance with subsection
  (b) of this section, the claim of each of the following claimants is barred unless
  the claimant commences an action to enforce the claim not later than three years after
  the first publication date of the notice: (1) a claimant that is entitled to but did not receive notice in a record under section 1208 of this title; and (2) a claimant whose claim is contingent or based on an event occurring after the effective
  date of dissolution. (d) A claim not barred under this section may be enforced: (1) Against a dissolved mutual benefit enterprise, to the extent of its undistributed
  assets. (2) If the enterprise’s assets have been distributed in connection with winding up the
  enterprise’s activities against a member or holder of financial rights, to the extent
  of that person’s proportionate share of the claim or the enterprise’s assets distributed
  to the person in connection with the winding up, whichever is less. The person’s total
  liability for all claims under this subdivision shall not exceed the total amount
  of assets distributed to the person as part of the winding up of the enterprise. (Added 2011, No. 84 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. April 20, 2012.)
