context: If subsection (10)(b) is read in isolation, it is rendered ambiguous and ineffective because it does not confer a right of redemption nor does it contain any of the essential terms for exercising that right i.e., fair value. Such an absurd reading was not intended and should be avoided by courts when construing a statute. "[Statutes must be con strued as to avoid an unreasonable or absurd result."
