COVENANTS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE ACQUIRED FUND 5.1 The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund each will operate its business in the ordinary course between the date hereof and the Closing Date, it being understood that such ordinary course of business will include customary dividends and distributions. 5.2 The Trust will call a meeting of the Acquired Fund Shareholders to consider and act upon this Agreement and to take all other action necessary to obtain approval of the transactions contemplated herein. 5.3 Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund will each take, or cause to be taken, all action, and do or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 5.4 As promptly as practicable, but in any case within sixty days after the Closing Date, the Acquired Fund shall furnish the Acquiring Fund, in such form as is reasonably satisfactory to the Acquiring Fund, a statement of the earnings and profits of the Acquired Fund for federal income tax purposes which will be carried over to the Acquiring Fund as a result of Section 381 of the Code and which will be certified by the Trust's President and its Treasurer. 5.5 The Acquired Fund will provide the Acquiring Fund with information reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, referred to in paragraph 4.1(o), all to be included in a Registration Statement on Form N-14 of the Acquiring Fund (the "Registration Statement"), in compliance with the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the 1940 Act in connection with the meeting of the Acquired Fund Shareholders to consider approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein. 5.6 The Acquiring Fund agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the approvals and authorizations required by the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act as it may deem appropriate in order to continue its operations after the Closing Date. 5.7 Prior to the Valuation Date, the Acquired Fund shall have declared a dividend or dividends, with a record date and ex-dividend date prior to the Valuation Date, which, together with all previous dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income, if any, plus the excess of its interest income, if any, excludable from gross income under Section 103(a) of the Code over its deductions disallowed under Sections 265 and 171(a)(2) of the Code for the taxable periods or years ended on or before December 31, 1996 and for the period from said date to and including the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid), and all of its net capital gain, if any, realized in taxable periods or years ended on or before December 31, 1996 and in the period from said date to and including the Closing Date.
The Acquisition At the Closing (as defined below), each Stockholder shall sell to Group 1 and Group 1 shall purchase from each Stockholder that number of shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share of the Company ("Company Common Stock") as set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto in exchange for that number of shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share of Group 1 ("Group 1 Common Stock") set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II hereto (as may be appropriately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and/or stock dividends). In the event that the Board of Directors of Group 1 approves a reverse stock split upon the recommendation of the Representatives of the Underwriters in connection with the IPO, the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock to be received by the shareholders of the Founding Companies shall be decreased proportionately as a result of the reverse stock split; provided, however, that in the event that the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split recommended by the Representatives of the Underwriters is less than the number of shares resulting from a 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split, a 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split shall be implemented and the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock resulting from such 4.444 for 5 reverse stock split to be received by the shareholders of the Founding Companies shall be further decreased proportionately to the number of shares that would have been issued to the shareholders of the Founding Companies had the reverse stock split recommended by the Representatives of the Underwriters been implemented. If the number of shares of Group 1 Common Stock received by a Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement includes a fractional share as a result of a reverse stock split affecting the Group 1 Common Stock, such fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Group 1 Common Stock.
