Article XI

Distribution of Property or Surplus

No member of the Society shall have the right to
share in the distribution of any property belonging to
the Society, however acquired, by reason of member¬
ship. If the Society shall be dissolved, or its existence
terminated in any way, each holder of any certificate
of contribution shall be entitled by virtue thereof to
receive back the contribution evidenced by such cer¬
tificate, with interest thereon at six per cent, from the
last date at which interest was paid, and no more. Any
surplus remaining after providing for this repayment
shall be distributed among such charitable organiza¬
tions, whether certificate-holders or not, which are
located in the City of New York and conduct their
operations chiefly within that city, as the then Trustees
shall determine. The Trustees may from time to time
make distributions to such charitable organizations out
of surplus earnings as they may deem expedient.

Article XII
Interest on Loans Made by the Society
The Society shall not charge or receive any interest on
loans at a greater rate than one per cent, per month or
fraction thereof.
