  formation pursuant to section 404 (Approvals, notices and  consents)  of

  approval or notice unless and until such  corporation  (1)  obtains  and

  compliance with the registration and reporting requirements  of  article
  seven-A  of  the  executive law and section 8-1.4 of the estates, powers

  action  may  also be maintained in relation to a corporation hereinafter
