the power to vote if he ceases to belong to the class of persons designated
or described in said by-laws. Any association organized under this sub-
title may limit the number of shares which any person may hold and may
reserve to the Board of Directors of the association the prior option to
buy for the association the stock of any stockholder which is offered by
such stockholder, and may reserve to said board of directors the right to
recall the stock of any stockholder, subject to the further limitation that
such associations, upon exercising said option to buy or right to recall, shall
pay for this stock at its book value or at its par value where the book value
is less than the par value, provided that no restrictions upon the owner-
ship or transfer or voting of stock authorized by this section shall be valid,
unless a provision setting out such restrictions is contained in the articles
of incorporation of the association and printed upon the stock subscrip-
tion paper, if any, and upon the stock certificate.

of its capital stock to an amount, which at par value would equal the fair
market value of the business purchased, and in such case the transfer to
