(2) in the manner provided in the plan, except that if the plan has been approved by the stockholders that were entitled to vote on, consent to, or approve of the plan, then those stockholders are entitled to vote on, consent to, or approve of any amendment of the plan that will change:

(iii) any other terms or conditions of the plan, if the change would adversely affect the stockholders in any material respect.

(b) After a plan of conversion has been approved by a converting organization that is a corporation in the manner required by this Division B of this Article 9 and before the statement of conversion becomes effective, the plan may be abandoned by the corporation without action by its stockholders in accordance with any procedures set forth in the plan or, if no procedures are set forth in the plan, in the manner determined by the board of directors.
