(3)Subject to subsection (4) below, if upon an investigation under this section it appears that the funds of the society or branch are insufficient to meet the existing claims thereon, or that the rates of contribution fixed in the rules of the society or branch are insufficient to cover the benefits assured to be given by the society or branch, the [F2Authority] may, if [F3it] considers it expedient to do so, award that the society or branch be dissolved and its affairs wound up, and where such an award is made the [F2Authority] shall direct in what manner the assets of the society or branch shall be divided or appropriated.
(4)Where the [F2Authority] makes an award under subsection (3) above [F3it] may suspend the operation thereof for such period as [F3it] may deem necessary to enable the society or branch to make such alterations and adjustments of contributions and benefits as will in [F3its] judgment prevent the necessity of the award of dissolution coming into operation; and where within that period the society makes such alterations and adjustments the [F2Authority] may cancel the award.
