surviving such combination, consolidation or merger, or to which such assets are

the benefit of, be assumed by, and be binding upon such Successor in Interest.

to exactly the same compensation, benefits, perquisites, payments and other
rights as would have been their entitlement bad such combination, consolidation,
merger, transfer of assets or formation of such partnership or joint venture not
occurred.

of such provisions are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
