(1) Members who default in payment of their monthly or weekly charges, may be charged a fine not exceeding ten cents (10¢) per share a month on each share in arrears, and in the event the member is a borrower, not exceeding an additional ten cents (10¢) per one hundred dollars ($100) or part thereof on account of failure to pay interest. No fine shall be charged after the expiration of six (6) months from the first lapse in any such payment, nor upon fines in arrears.
(2) The shares of a member who continues in arrears more than six (6) weeks shall, at the option of the directors, if the member fails to pay the arrears within thirty (30) days after notice, be declared forfeited and the withdrawable value of the shares at the time of the first default shall be ascertained and, after deducting all fines and other legal charges, the balance shall be placed to an account to be designated as the “forfeited share account” to the credit of the defaulting member. If the member is not a borrower, he shall be entitled, upon thirty (30) days’ notice, to receive the balance so transferred without interest, in his turn, out of the funds appropriated to the payment of withdrawals. All shares so forfeited or transferred shall cease to participate in any income of the corporation accruing after the last adjustment and distribution of dividends before the default.
