B. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter or in the articles or bylaws:
(1) The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of the majority of the total voting power shall constitute a quorum, except that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-fourth of the total voting power.
(2) The stockholders present or represented at a duly organized meeting shall constitute a quorum and may continue to do business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum as fixed in Subsection B(1) of this Section or in the articles or bylaws or the refusal of any stockholders present to vote.
