ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION OF

REHABILITATION INSTITUTE OF  

WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS, INC.

ARTICLE 5

Any stockholder, including the heirs, assigns, executors or administrators of a deceased stockholder, desiring to sell or transfer such stock owned by him or them, shall first offer it to the corporation through the Board of Directors, in the manner following: He shall notify the directors of his desire to sell or transfer by notice in writing, which notice shall contain all of the terms and conditions upon, which he is willing to sell or transfer and the name of one arbitrator. The directors shall within thirty days thereafter either accept the offer, or by notice to him in writing name a second arbitrator, and these two shall name a third. It shall then be the duty of the arbitrators to ascertain the value of the stock, and if any arbitrators, shall neglect or refuse to appear at any meeting appointed by the arbitrators, a majority may act in the absence of such arbitrator. After the acceptance of the offer, or the report of the arbitrators as to the value of the stock, the directors shall have thirty days within which to purchase the same at such valuation, but if at the expiration of thirty days, the corporation shall not have exercised the right so to purchase, the owner of the stock shall be at liberty to dispose of the same for a period of sixty days upon terms identical to those contained in the owner’s notice to the Board of Directors. This right to sell shall expire at the end of such sixty day period, and the owner shall be permitted to sell his stock pursuant to a new offer to the corporation in accordance with the terms of this Article. No shares of stock shall be sold or transferred on the books of the corporation until these provisions have been complied with, but the Board of Directors may in any particular instance wave the foregoing requirement.

ARTICLE 6

The Board of Directors shall have the power to amend the By-Laws of the corporation in the manner provided in such By-Laws.

Meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be held at such place in the United States as shall be designated in the notice of any such meeting.

The corporation may be a partner in any business enterprise which the corporation would have the power to conduct by itself.

No director shall be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability; provided, however, that this provision shall not eliminate the liability of a director, to the extent that such liability is imposed by applicable law, (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under section 61 or 62 or successor provisions of the Massachusetts Business Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision shall not eliminate the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date upon which this provision becomes effective. No amendment to or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
