1. Subscriptions to the shares of a
corporation, whether made before or after its organization, must be paid in full
at such time or in such installments at such times as determined by the board
of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on
subscriptions must be uniform as to all shares of the same class or series.
2. If default is made in the payment of
any installment or call, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due
in the same manner as any debt due the corporation. In addition, the
corporation may sell a sufficient number of the subscribers shares at public
auction to pay for the installment or call and any incidental charges incurred
as a result of the sale. No penalty causing a forfeiture of a subscription, of
stock for which a subscription has been signed, or of amounts paid thereon, may
be declared against any subscriber unless the amount due remains unpaid for 30
days after written demand. Such written demand shall be deemed made when it is
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the
subscribers last known address. If any of the subscribers shares are sold at
public auction, any excess of the proceeds over the total of the amount due
plus any incidental charges of the sale must be paid to the subscriber or the
subscribers legal representative. If an action is brought to recover the
amount due on a subscription or call, any judgment in favor of the corporation
must be reduced by the amount of the net proceeds of any sale by the
corporation of the subscribers stock.
3. All stock subject to a delinquent
installment or call and all amounts previously paid by a delinquent subscriber
for the stock must be forfeited to the corporation if an amount due from a
subscriber remains unpaid, the corporation has complied with the requirements
of subsection 2 and:
(a) A bidder does not purchase the subscribers
shares at public auction; or
(b) The corporation does not collect the
defaulted amount by an action at law.
4. If a receiver of a corporation has been
appointed, all unpaid subscriptions must be paid at such times and in such
installments as the receiver or the court may direct, subject, however, to the
provisions of the subscription contract.
5. A subscription for shares of a
corporation to be organized is irrevocable for 6 months unless otherwise
provided by the subscription agreement or unless all of the subscribers consent
to the revocation of the subscription.
