5. (5) ensure that estates of deceased shareholders will be able to liquidate the decedents' shares in the corporation;
6. (6) obligate the shareholder first to offer to the corporation or other persons, separately, consecutively, or simultaneously, an opportunity to acquire the restricted shares;
7. (7) obligate the corporation or other persons, separately, consecutively, or simultaneously, to acquire the restricted shares;
