dissolved, it shall make a judgment or final order dissolving the
corporation.

the following criteria:

the corporation, the court may, in its discretion, provide therein for

corporation shall be dissolved.
(e) The corporation shall promptly thereafter transmit a certified
copy of the judgment or final order to the clerk of each other county in
