Any shareholder so desiring or required to sell his shares or any part thereof shall give to said corporation written notice of such desire or requirement to sell, and if the exercise of such pre-emptive right be authorized by the board of directors, such right shall be exercised by said

FIFTH: No holder of shares of the corporation of any class shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for or purchase shares of any class, now or hereafter authorized, or to subscribe for or purchase securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the corporation or to which shall be attached or appertain any warrants or rights entitling the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares, except such rights of subscription or purchase, if any, for such considerations and upon such terms and conditions as its board of directors from time to time may determine, subject to the provisions of ARTICLE SEVENTH hereof.

SIXTH: (a) Except as hereinafter provided in this ARTICLE SIXTH, no holder of Common Shares, of any class, of the corporation shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the shares held by him without first offering the same to the corporation for purchase at a price equal to the book value of such shares at the end of the

corporation’s last fiscal year ended prior to the date on which the offer is made. Such book value shall be determined from the corporation’s records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Any dispute as to such book value shall be referred to a firm of independent public accountants (which may be the corporation’s regular accounting firm) selected by the Board of Director’s of the corporation, whose decision shall be binding on all parties. In accepting such offer, the corporation shall have the right to purchase all but not less than all of the shares offered to it.

shares not so purchased to such other party or parties as he desires for a period of sixty (60) days after expiration of the right to purchase as set forth in Section (a) above; provided, however, that said shares may not be disposed of to any other party at a lesser price or on more favorable terms than those provided herein without again offering them to the corporation at such lesser price or more favorable terms; provided, further, that in the event of any such disposition of said shares, the person acquiring said shares or any rights therein shall acknowledge in writing to the corporation his receipt of a copy of the restrictions contained in this ARTICLE SIXTH and his agreement to comply therewith and be bound thereby (any such person, even absent such written acknowledgment, being bound by such restrictions through his acceptance of possession of said shares). After said sixty (60) day period, these restrictions shall again apply and be in full force and effect.

(c) In the event of the death of any holder of Common Shares, of any class, of the corporation, the shares owned by such deceased shareholder shall be deemed to be offered for sale to the corporation as set forth in Section (a) hereof on the date of death.

executor or administrator of the estate of such deceased shareholder, unless prior to the expiration of such period, the corporation notifies such executor or administrator of its election not to purchase, in which case the right to purchase of the corporation shall expire on the date of such notice. In the event said offer is accepted, the purchase price shall be due and payable within sixty (60) days after such exercise, or as the parties may otherwise agree. In the event and that the corporation chooses not to purchase, such shares shall be distributed or otherwise disposed of as part of the estate of such deceased shareholder.

In the event no such acknowledgment is received by the corporation, such pledge or other hypothecation shall not be made.

(e) In the event of the insolvency or the appointment of a receiver of any property of any shareholder, or an assignment for the benefit of creditors, filing of a petition of bankruptcy, or commencement of any

proceedings under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws by or against any shareholder, the Common Shares, of any class, of the corporation owned by such shareholder at the date of any such event shall be deemed to be offered for sale as set forth in Section (a) hereof on the date of the first of such events to occur. The offer to the corporation shall remain open for acceptance for a period of sixty (60) days after the date of the appointment of the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy. In the event the corporation chooses not to purchase, such shares shall remain the property of such shareholder or shall be disposed of pursuant to a decree or order of any court or agency having jurisdiction under federal or state law. In the absence of any order of disposition by any court having such jurisdiction, such shares shall be and remain subject to the provisions and restrictions contained in this ARTICLE SIXTH.
