(a) state that the company has no members;

(c) provide the street and mailing addresses of the person.

e. The Superior Court may order judicial supervision of the winding up of a dissolved limited liability company, including the appointment of a person to wind up the company's activities:

(1) on application of a member, if the applicant establishes good cause;

(2) on the application of a transferee, if:

(a) the company does not have any members;

(b) the legal representative of the last person to have been a member declines or fails to wind up the company's activities; and

(c) within a reasonable time following the dissolution a person has not been appointed pursuant to subsection d. of this section; or

(3) in connection with a proceeding under paragraph (4) or (5) of subsection a. of section 48 of this act.
