retary. The warrants shall be freely transferable and if

acquired shall be with full voting rights.

rants shall be the average price at which voting com-
mon stock of the Corporation, was sold during the
year preceding issuance of the warrants, plus 10 per
centum. The Secretary shall receive warrants in such
amounts as will enable the Secretary to purchase

cisable at any time by the Secretary for a period of
15 years from the date of issuance.
