(a) Winding up and distribution.--Every business corporation that is dissolved by expiration of its period of duration or otherwise shall, nevertheless, continue to exist for the purpose of winding up its affairs, prosecuting and defending actions or proceedings by or against it, collecting and discharging obligations, disposing of and conveying its property and collecting and dividing its assets, but not for the purpose of continuing business except insofar as necessary for the winding up of the corporation. The board of directors of the corporation may continue as such and shall have full power to wind up the affairs of the corporation.

Directors of a dissolved corporation who have complied with section 1975 (relating to predissolution provision for liabilities) or Subchapter H (relating to postdissolution provision for liabilities) and governing persons of a successor entity who have complied with Subchapter H shall not be personally liable to the creditors or claimants of the dissolved corporation.
