If the Stock is readily tradeable on an established market on the date of distribution, the put option granted by this Section 6.13 shall not exist; provided, however, that if the Stock ceases to be publicly traded within either of the sixty (60) day calendar periods as provided herein, the Holding Company shall notify the Recipient in writing within a reasonable time after the Stock ceases to be so publicly traded that the Stock shall be subject to the put option for the remainder of the applicable sixty (60) day calendar period.
