Upon the death or bankruptcy of a shareholder, his personal representative or trustee in bankruptcy, although not a shareholder, shall have the same rights, privileges and obligations that attach to the shares formerly held by the deceased or bankrupt shareholder if the documents required by the Business Corporations Act shall have been deposited with the Company. This Article does not apply on the death of a shareholder with respect to shares registered in his name and the name of another person in joint tenancy.

6.3.         Persons in Representative Capacity.
