Unless otherwise provided in articles 101 to 117 of this title or in the articles of incorporation, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter, but a quorum shall not consist of fewer than one-third of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group.

Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, including the purpose ofdetermining that a quorum exists, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or unless a new record date is or shall be set for that adjourned meeting.

If a quorum exists, action on a matter other than the election of directors by a votinggroup is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast within the voting group opposing the action, unless a greater number of affirmative votes is required by articles 101 to 117 of this title or the articles of incorporation.
