Any attempt to transfer any such stock in violation hereof shall be null and void ab initio. This provision does not apply to non-party shareholders who are governed by their respective stock purchase agreements.
5. Transfers. No Shareholder shall transfer any stock of the Corporation, or any interest therein, which he or she may now or hereafter own, to any person or entity either by gift or bequest or by mortgage, pledge, or other hypothecation, without the prior written consent by Majority Vote of the Board, with the sole exception that each Shareholder may provide for the disposition of his or her shares in a will or other testamentary device without the Board’s consent. This provision does not apply to non-party shareholders who are governed by their respective stock purchase agreements. In the event of an approved transfer, Class A Shares can be converted into Class B Shares via a convertible clause in the document evidencing the transfer.
6. Right of Refusal.
6.1 Each Shareholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, he or she will not sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of (either voluntarily or by operation of contract or law) any shares of the stock of the Corporation now or hereafter held by him or her, except pursuant to Section 7 hereof, without first offering such shares (the “Offered Shares” herein) for sale to the Corporation at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the selling Shareholder proposes to sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise dispose of the Offered Shares pursuant to a bona fide offer therefor received by the selling Shareholder, disclosing the terms and conditions of such bona fide offer and the identity of the offeror.
6.2 The Corporation shall have 90 days within which to accept such offer and tender performance thereunder, as to all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares.
6.3 In the event such offer is not accepted by the Corporation within such 90-day period, then the other Shareholders shall each have an option to purchase the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms and conditions so offered. The other Shareholders shall have 90 days following the expiration of the first 90-day offering period granted to the Corporation within which to exercise such option and tender performance thereunder as to all, but not less than all, of the Offered Shares.
6.4 In the event such offer is so accepted by more than one of the other Shareholders, the Offered Shares shall be divided among the accepting Shareholders pro rata to the number of shares of the Corporation owned by all accepting Shareholders.
6.5 In the event such offer is not so accepted within such 90-day period, then the selling Shareholder shall be free to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the Offered Shares to the named person from whom he or she received the bona fide offer, at the price and on the terms and conditions of such offer, during a period of 90 days next following the expiration of the second 90-day offering period hereunder. At the termination of such 90-day period, the Offered Shares shall again be subject to the provisions hereof.
6.6 The above provisions in Section 6 shall not apply if Shareholders owning a majority of the Shares desire to sell controlling interest of the Corporation to a third-party. Notwithstanding, should Shareholders owning a majority of the Shares (“Majority Shareholder”) desire to sell the Corporation or substantially all of its assets to a third-party all other Shareholders (“Minority Shareholder”) shall participate with the Majority Shareholder in the sale on the same terms and conditions (known as “tag along rights” if the Minority Shareholder wants to participate and “drag along rights” if the Majority Shareholder wants to compel the Minority Shareholder to sell).
7. Mandatory Offer to Sell.

For purposes of this Agreement, “cause” shall mean any conduct on the part of a Shareholder that is substantially detrimental to the Corporation or the Corporation’s relationship with any person or entity or any material act of fraud, dishonesty, or misrepresentation, or any other act of moral turpitude. A determination of “for cause” shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion and shall provide that Shareholder with a detailed write-up of their reasoning of termination “for cause”. The determination by the board of removal “for cause” must be reasonable and is not appealable or subject to review by a third-party.
7.5 Method of Payment. The purchase price determined in accordance with Section 7.3 above, as adjusted by Section 7.4, shall be paid to the Seller as follows:
7.5.1 In cash, in full, within 90 days following the occurrence of the Purchase Event; or
7.5.2 By the payment of at least twenty percent of the purchase price in cash within 90 days following the occurrence of the Purchase Event, and execution and delivery of a promissory note that shall bear interest from the closing date of the sale at 7% per year. Such note shall be fully amortized in equal quarterly payments, including interest, over no more than a three-year period, and the debtor shall have the right to prepay such note at any time without premium or penalty.
The method used shall be at the option of the Corporation or the purchasing Shareholder, as the case may be, exercised prior to the expiration of such 90-day period by notice duly given to the Seller.

8.3.1 In the event such proceeds are less than the full purchase price for such stock, it is understood and agreed that the net amount of such proceeds shall constitute a down payment against the purchase price.
8.3.2 In the event such proceeds exceed the purchase price, such excess shall belong to the owner of the policy and not to the estate of the insured Shareholder.
8.4 In the event any Shareholder sells his or her stock to the Corporation or the other Shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement other than in the case of his or her death, it is understood and agreed that the then cash surrender value, if any, of any insurance held on the life of such Shareholder for the purpose of providing funds for the purchase of his or her stock may constitute the down payment on the purchase obligation of the owner of the policy. The selling Shareholder shall have the option of requesting either that the policy be cashed and the proceeds thereof applied against such purchase obligation or that the policy be assigned to him and the purchase price be reduced by an amount equivalent to the cash surrender value of the policy.
8.5 Insurance proceeds from any policies on the life of the selling Shareholder purchased pursuant to this Section 8 shall not be taken into account in determining the value of the stock of the Corporation under Section 7 hereof.
