Such scrip may be issued subject\nto the condition that it shall become void if not exchanged for\ncertificates representing full shares or uncertificated full shares\nbefore a specified date, or subject to the condition that the shares for\nwhich such scrip is exchangeable may be sold by the corporation and the\nproceeds thereof distributed to the holders of such scrip, or subject to\nany other conditions which the board may determine.\n (d) A corporation may provide reasonable opportunity for persons\nentitled to fractions of a share or scrip to sell such fractions of a\nshare or scrip or to purchase such additional fractions of a share or\nscrip as may be needed to acquire a full share.\n
