(A) The members are deadlocked in voting power, and have failed, for a period which includes at least two consecutive annual meeting dates, to elect successors to directors whose terms have expired or would have expired upon the election of their successors; or

(B) The corporate assets are being misapplied or wasted.

(b) In an action by a creditor:

(A) When the claim of the creditor has been reduced to judgment and an execution thereon returned unsatisfied and it is established that the cooperative is insolvent; or

(2) Venue for a proceeding by the Attorney General to dissolve a corporation lies in Marion County. Venue for a proceeding brought by any other party named in this section lies in the county where a corporation's principal office is located or, if the principal office is not in this state, where its registered office is or was last located.

(3) It is not necessary to make members or shareholders parties to any action or proceeding under this section unless relief is sought against them personally.

(4) A court in a proceeding brought to dissolve a cooperative may issue injunctions, appoint a receiver or custodian pendente lite with all powers and duties the court directs, take other action required to preserve the assets of the cooperative wherever located and carry on the business of the cooperative until a full hearing can be held.
