(a) Presumption and Modification. Unless otherwise provided in the articles, members and parties, other than the LLC, to a contribution agreement or a contribution allowance agreement shall not have preemptive rights.

(1) In a form other than money;

(2) Reflected pursuant to a plan of merger or exchange;

(3) Reflected pursuant to an employee or incentive benefit plan approved at a meeting by the affirmative vote of the owners of a majority of the voting power of all membership interests entitled to vote;
