Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, prior to such dissolution, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered the stock and other securities and property receivable by the Holder of the Warrants after the effective date of such dissolution pursuant to this Section 2 to a bank or trust company (a "Trustee"), as trustee for the Holder of the Warrants. 2.3.

The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 3.

Replacement of Warrant.
