(1) If only one votes, such act binds all; and
(2) If more than one votes, the vote shall be divided on a pro rata basis.
(c) An amendment to the articles of incorporation or bylaws on which members are entitled to vote, the purpose of which is to increase or decrease the number of votes any member is entitled to cast on any member action, shall be approved by the members entitled to vote on that action by a vote that would be sufficient to take the action before the amendment.
