B. All deeds or other instruments shall be in the name of the association and executed by the president or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary.

C. The board of directors shall also have power to exchange or otherwise dispose of or to put in trust all or any part of the assets, upon such terms and conditions and for such considerations, which may be money, stocks, bonds, shares, or accounts of any insured association or of any federal association, or other considerations, as the board of directors may deem reasonable or expedient, and may distribute such considerations or the proceeds thereof, or trust receipts, or certificates of beneficial interest among the members or stockholders in proportion to their pro rata interests therein.

D. In the absence of fraud, any determination of value made by the board of directors for any such purposes shall be conclusive.
