A. A plan of interest exchange of a domestic acquired entity may be amended either:

1. In the same manner as the plan was approved if the plan does not provide for the manner in which it may be amended.

2. By the governors or interest holders of the entity in the manner provided in the plan, except that an interest holder that was entitled to vote on or consent to approval of the interest exchange is entitled to vote on or consent to any amendment of the plan that will change any of the following:

(a) The amount or kind of interests, securities, obligations, rights to acquire interests or securities, cash or other property or any combination of the foregoing, to be received by any of the interest holders of the domestic acquired entity under the plan.

(b) The public organizational document or private organizational documents of the domestic acquired entity that will be in effect immediately after the interest exchange becomes effective, except for changes that do not require approval of the interest holders of the domestic acquired entity under its governing statute or organizational documents.

(c) Any other terms or conditions of the plan, if the change would adversely affect the interest holder in any material respect.

B. After a plan of interest exchange has been approved by a domestic acquired entity and before a statement of interest exchange becomes effective pursuant to section 29-2305, the plan may be abandoned by the domestic acquired entity, subject to any contractual rights:

1. As provided in the plan.

2. If not provided in the plan, either:

(a) By the governors of the domestic acquired entity, unless prohibited by the plan.
