Whenever in respect to any taxpaying corporation, the Clerk of the Superior Court or of any former court has or shall have entered upon his record of judgments the entries against such corporation required in and by section 54:49-12 of the Revised Statutes; and, whenever, acting pursuant to section 54:11-2 of the Revised Statutes, the Governor issues his proclamation, declaring the charter of such corporation is repealed, and the powers conferred upon them inoperative and void for failure to satisfy, in whole or in part, the tax and interest thereon, evidenced by the aforesaid judgment; and whenever, thereafter, such corporation pays to the Secretary of State a sum received by him, in whole or in part, in lieu of the tax and interest thereon evidenced by the aforesaid judgment, and the Governor, by and with the advice of the Attorney-General, permits such corporation to be reinstated to all its franchises and privileges, and the Secretary of State has issued his certificate, entitling such corporation to continue its business and franchises, all pursuant to section 54:11-5 of the Revised Statutes, the Attorney-General, either personally or through the agency of a legal assistant acting in his name, may affix his signature and official title on the margin of the record of such judgment in any such clerk's office and enter above said signature words and figures of the tenor following: "On (Date) the judgment-debtor herein was reinstated pursuant to R.S.54:11-5." Such signing and making of the entry shall operate as a satisfaction of such judgment.
