Any association organized, existing or registered as a cooperative agricultural association under this chapter may sell, lease or exchange all its property and assets, including its goodwill and its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration as its board of directors deems expedient and for the best interests of the corporation, when authorized by written consent of the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding having voting power or by vote of said stockholders at a meeting duly called for that purpose. No such authorization by vote or written consent is required where its board of directors determines that the fair value of its property and assets is less than the par value of its outstanding stock and its property and assets are sold to another association organized, existing or doing business as a cooperative agricultural association in this State and registered as provided under this chapter, in exchange for the obligation to purchase or redeem, at the par value, any of its stock offered for sale or redemption by its stockholders and the obligation to assume and pay all its debts.
