The Owner provides a written request, as per the attached, representing to the Company that the Original Share Certificate has been either lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken and that they are the registered owner of the affected shares.

Within 20 days of receiving a written request along the lines of the attached form, the Company shall publish written notice at least once a week for three consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation (cost to be born by the person requesting the Replacement) in the area of the general circulation of the Company, with at least seven days between each publication date, such notice will contain the following information:

Identification of the person who is requesting that a Replacement Share Certificate be issued.

That any interested person may file a legitimate written notice of objection with the company.

Unless a written notice of objection to the issuance of a Replacement Share Certificate is filed within 60 days after the last day of publication, a Replacement Share Certificate will, if approved by the Company, be issued to the person requesting that the Replacement Share Certificate be issued and the Original Share Certificate will be permanently canceled on the records of the Company.

Also, no later than 20 days after the Company receives a request to issue a Replacement Share Certificate, the Company shall mail a written notice to the last known address of the owner of the affected shares shown on the Company records or anyone who has been paying the assessment on the shares within the last 5-year period, or anyone who has advised the Company in writing of an interest in the affected shares.

The Company will further be required to post written notice in at least three conspicuous places within the distribution area of the Company. (e.g. Local Post Office, City Offices, Canal Company, etc.)

Once the process described above is complete, the Company, through its President, will make the decision to approve or deny the issuance of a Replacement Share Certificate in writing and deliver the written decision to the person requesting that it be issued, any person who filed a notice of objection and any other person the Company determines is involved in the request for a Replacement Share Certificate.
