submits with its petition for the annulment of the dissolution a
certificate of reservation of another available name.

(c) Orders under this section may be entered ex parte, except that if
such special proceeding was not instituted upon petition of the
corporation, notice shall be given to the corporation in such manner as
the court may direct. Notice shall be given to other persons interested,
