16Effect of alteration on company's members
1
A member of a company is not bound by an alteration made in the memorandum or articles after the date on which he became a member, if and so far as the alteration—
a
requires him to take or subscribe for more shares than the number held by him at the date on which the alteration is made; or
b
in any way increases his liability as at that date to contribute to the company's share capital or otherwise to pay money to the company.
2
Subsection (1) operates notwithstanding anything in the memorandum or articles; but it does not apply in a case where the member agrees in writing, either before or after the alteration is made, to be bound by the alteration.
