Within ten (10) years after issuing a certificate of revocation as provided in § 7-6-86, the secretary of state may withdraw the certificate of revocation and reinstate the corporation in good standing:

(1) Upon the filing by the corporation of the documents it had previously failed to file as set forth in subsections (a)(1) through (a)(4), inclusive, of § 7-6-85; and

(2)(i) Upon the payment by the corporation of a penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for each year or part of a year that has elapsed since the issuance of the certificate of revocation.

(ii) If as permitted by § 7-6-72(2) another corporation, whether business or nonprofit, or domestic or foreign, qualified to transact business in this state, bears or has filed a fictitious business name statement regarding or reserved or registered a name which is the same as the name of a corporation regarding which the certificate of revocation is proposed to be withdrawn, the secretary of state shall condition the withdrawal of a certificate of revocation upon the reinstated corporation's amending its articles of incorporation so as to designate a name which is distinguishable upon the records of the secretary of state from its former name.
