Written or printed notice stating that the purpose of such meeting is to consider the dissolution of the corporation shall be given to each member entitled to vote at such meeting, within the time frame and in the manner provided in this chapter. A resolution to dissolve the corporation shall be adopted upon receiving at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by members present or represented by proxy at such meeting;

(b) Where there are no members, or no members having voting rights, the dissolution of the corporation shall be authorized at a meeting of the Board of Directors upon the adoption of a resolution to dissolve by the vote of majority of the directors; and

(c) Upon adoption of such resolution by the members, or by the Board of Directors where there are no members or members with voting rights, the corporation shall cease to conduct its affairs except insofar as may be necessary for the completion thereof; shall immediately cause a notice of the proposed dissolution to be mailed to each known creditor of the corporation; and shall proceed to collect its assets and apply and distribute them as provided in this chapter.
