1705. Termination of benefit corporation status.
(a)  A  benefit corporation may terminate its status as such and cease
  to  be  subject  to  this  article  by  amending  its   certificate   of
  incorporation  to delete the statement that the corporation is a benefit
  corporation.  The amendment shall not be effective unless it is  adopted
  by at least the minimum status vote.
(b)  If  a benefit corporation is a party to a merger or consolidation
  in which the  surviving  or  new  corporation  will  not  be  a  benefit
  corporation,  the plan of merger or consolidation shall not be effective
  unless it is adopted by at least the minimum status vote in addition  to
  any   other   vote   required   by  this  chapter,  the  certificate  of
  incorporation or the bylaws.
(c) Any benefit corporation that is party to a merger or consolidation
  in which shares of stock of such benefit corporation will  be  converted
  into  a  right to receive shares of stock of a corporation that is not a
  benefit corporation must approve the plan of merger or consolidation  by
  at  least the minimum status vote in addition to any other vote required
  by this chapter, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
(d)  A  sale,  lease,  conveyance,  exchange,   transfer,   or   other
  disposition  of  all  or  substantially  all  of the assets of a benefit
  corporation, unless the transaction is in the usual and  regular  course
  of  business  of  the benefit corporation, shall not be effective unless
  the transaction is approved by at  least  the  minimum  status  vote  in
  addition  to any other vote required by this chapter, the certificate of
  incorporation or the bylaws.
