Dennis is the oldest among the four shareholders and is in the poorest health. He is concerned that upon his death his wife will be stuck with the shares, because there will be no market for them. However, he would like her to be able to use the proceeds from selling the shares for living expenses. For their part, Able, Baker, and Carter like Mrs. Dennis, but are not interested in being co-owners of the business with her. And they certainly do not want her to sell Dennis's shares to an unknown third party. So, they four have agreed that upon Dennis's death, Mrs. Dennis will be obligated to sell one third of the shares to Able, one third to Baker, and one third to Carter. Able, Baker, and Carter agree to buy the shares at a price figured according to a predetermined formula. What kind of transfer restriction is this? Multiple Choice Option agreement Right of first refusal Provision disqualifying purchasers Buy-and-sell agreement Consent constraint

Sayre learned that Adams, Boone, and Chase were planning to form a corporation for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing a line of novelties to wholesale outlets. Sayre had patented a self-locking gas tank cap but lacked the financial backing to market it profitably. He negotiated with Adams, Boone, and Chase, who agreed to purchase the patent rights for $5,000 in cash and two hundred shares of $100 par value preferred stock in a corporation to be formed. The corporation was formed and Sayre’s stock issued to him, but the corporation has refused to make the cash payment. It has also refused to declare dividends, although the business has been very profitable because of Sayre’s patent and has a substantial earned surplus with a large cash balance on hand. It is selling the remainder of the originally authorized issue of preferred shares, ignoring Sayre’s demand to purchase a proportionate number of these shares. What are Sayre’s rights, if any?
