If such designation is deemed exclusive, the right of the Distributor under this Agreement to sell Shares in the areas so designated shall terminate, but this Agreement shall remain otherwise in full effect until terminated in accordance with the other provisions hereof.
(b) The exclusive rights granted to the Distributor to purchase Shares from each Fund shall not apply to Shares issued in connection with the merger or consolidation of any other investment company or personal holding company with a Fund or a Fund's acquisition by purchase or otherwise of all (or substantially all) the assets or the outstanding Shares of any such company.
