When an involuntary proceeding for winding up has been commenced, the jurisdiction of the court includes:
(a) The requirement of the proof of all claims and demands against the corporation, whether due or not yet due, contingent, unliquidated, or sounding only in damages, and the barring from participation of creditors and claimants failing to make and present claims and proof as required by any order.
(b) The determination or compromise of all claims of every nature against the corporation or any of its property, and the determination of the amount of money or assets required to be retained to pay or provide for the payment of claims.
(c) The determination of the rights of members and of all classes of members in and to the assets of the corporation.
(d) The presentation and filing of intermediate and final accounts of the directors or other persons appointed to conduct the winding up and hearing thereon, the allowance, disallowance, or settlement thereof, and the discharge of the directors or such other persons from their duties and liabilities.
(e) The appointment of a commissioner to hear and determine any or all matters, with such power or authority as the court may deem proper.
(f) The filing of any vacancies on the board which the directors or the members are unable to fill.
(g) The removal of any director if it appears that the director has been guilty of dishonesty, misconduct, neglect, or breach of trust in conducting the winding up or if the director is unable to act. The court may order an election to fill the vacancy so caused, and may enjoin, for such time as it considers proper, the reelection of the director so removed; or the court, in lieu of ordering an election, may appoint a director to fill the vacancy caused by such removal. Any director so appointed by the court shall serve until the next regular meeting of members or until a successor is elected or appointed.
(h) The staying of the prosecution of any suit, proceeding, or action against the corporation and requiring the parties to present and prove their claims in the manner required of other creditors.

(j) The making of orders for the withdrawal or termination of proceedings, to wind up and dissolve, subject to conditions for the protection of members and creditors.
(k) The making of an order, upon the allowance or settlement of the final accounts of the directors or such other persons, that the corporation has been duly wound up and is dissolved. Upon the making of such order, the corporate existence shall cease except for purposes of further winding up if needed.
(l) The making of orders for the bringing in of new parties as the court deems proper for the determination of all questions and matters.
(m) The disposition of assets held in charitable trust.
