Option A is the right answer, no doubt. Although, I'm sure there's a lawyer out there who could argue the other way and still get paid. Gotta love the legal system!

I think the answer is D because it goes against the fair and arm's length requirement.

But doesn't the agreement requiring the payment of liquidated damages to survivors make it invalid?

Honestly, I'm just impressed that anyone can keep track of all these legal technicalities. Where do they even come up with this stuff?

Hah, option D is the best. Gotta love those shareholders who try to get out of the agreement by selling their stock during their lifetime. Nice try, but the courts aren't buying it!

I don't know, I think option B is the way to go. If the agreement is fair and at arm's length, that should be the key factor, right?

Yeah, if the per-share value is fair and at arm's length, it should be accepted by the courts.

Option A is clearly the correct answer. Why would the courts accept a buy-sell agreement that penalizes the executor for not following it? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
