following the conclusion of dissolution proceedings, who does not file a claim or
pursue a remedy in a legal, administrative, or arbitration proceeding within the time
provided in section 10-33-101, 10-33-102, 10-33-106, 10-33-107, or 10-33-110, or has
not begun a legal, administrative, or arbitration proceeding before the beginning of the
dissolution proceedings, and a person claiming through or under the creditor or

secretary of state under subsection 4 of section 10-33-101 or subsection 1 of section
10-33-102 or a decree of dissolution has been entered, a creditor or claimant who
shows good cause for not having previously filed the claim may apply to a court in this
state to allow a claim against the corporation to the extent of undistributed assets.
