Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Board of Directors may decline to recognize any transfer, and such transfer will not be effective, unless the instrument of transfer is accompanied by a certificate of the shares to which it relates, and such other evidence as the Board of Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

If the person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. 25. A person becoming entitled to a share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder, except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of the share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

A declaration in writing under the hand of a Director or the Secretary of the Company that a share in the Company has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share.
