by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote

or when authorized by a plan approved by such a vote of shareholders; (2) To acquire any shares sold for a consideration other than cash; (3) To acquire any shares issued at the same time that the shareholder who claims

a preemptive right acquired his or her shares; (4) To acquire any shares issued as part of the same offering in which the shareholder

who claims a preemptive right acquired his or her shares; or (5) To acquire any shares, treasury shares or securities convertible into such shares,

if the shares or the shares into which the convertible securities may be converted

assets are not entitled to any preemptive right. (c) Holders of common stock are not entitled to any preemptive right to shares of

any class that is preferred or limited as to dividends or assets or to any obligations,

unless convertible into shares of common stock or carrying a right to subscribe to

or acquire shares of common stock. (d) Holders of common stock without voting power have no preemptive right to shares

of common stock with voting power. (e) The preemptive right is only an opportunity to acquire shares or other securities

upon such terms as the board of directors fixes for the purpose of providing a fair

and reasonable opportunity for the exercise of such right.
