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?
