Upon the occurrence of such event, the term "Company" as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the successor or survivor company.

Reorganization. A majority of the Board of Trustees may cause the Trust to sell, convey and transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or all or substantially all of the assets associated with any one or more Series, to another trust, business trust, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, association or corporation organized under the laws of any state, or to one or more separate series thereof, or to the Trust to be held as assets associated with one or more other Series of the Trust, in exchange for cash, shares or other securities (including, without limitation, in the case of a transfer to another Series of the Trust, Shares of such other Series) with such transfer either (a) being made subject to, or with the assumption by the transferee of, the liabilities associated with each Series the assets of which are so transferred, or (b) not being made subject to, or not with the assumption of, such liabilities; provided, however, that, if required by the 1940 Act, no assets associated with any particular Series shall be so sold, conveyed or transferred unless the terms of such transaction shall first have been approved at a meeting called for that purpose by the “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,” as such phrase is defined in the 1940 Act, of that Series. Following such sale, conveyance and transfer, the Board of Trustees shall distribute such cash, shares or other securities (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities associated with and any other differences among the various Series the assets associated with which have so been sold, conveyed and transferred) ratably among the Shareholders of the Series the assets associated with which have been so sold, conveyed and transferred (giving due effect to the differences among the various classes within each such Series); and if all of the assets of the Trust have been so sold, conveyed and transferred, the Trust shall be dissolved.

Any such sale, conveyance and transfer shall not require the vote of the Shareholders unless such vote is required by the 1940 Act; provided however, that the Board of Trustees shall provide at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Shareholders of the Trust of any such sale of Trust assets, and at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Shareholders of a particular Series of any sale of such Series' assets. Following such sale of Trust assets, the Board of Trustees shall distribute such cash, shares or other securities ratably among the Shareholders of the Trust (giving due effect to the assets and liabilities associated with and any other differences among the various Series the assets associated with which have been so sold, conveyed and transferred, and due effect to the differences among the various Classes within each such Series).

(b) Notwithstanding anything else herein, to change the Trust’s form or place of organization a majority of the Continuing Trustees may, without Shareholder approval unless such approval is required by applicable law, (i) cause the Trust to merge or consolidate with or into one or more entities, if the surviving or resulting entity is the Trust or any other corporation, association, trust or other organization, or a series thereof, (ii) cause the Shares to be exchanged under or pursuant to any state or federal statute to the extent permitted by law, or (iii) cause the Trust to incorporate under the laws of Delaware or any other U.S. jurisdiction.

Following such transfer, the Trustees shall distribute the cash, Shares or other Securities or other consideration received in such transaction (giving due effect to the assets belonging to and indebtedness of, and any other differences among, the various Series of which the assets have so been transferred) among the Shareholders of the Series of which the assets have been so transferred; and if all of the assets of the Trust have been so transferred, the Trust shall be terminated. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall be construed as requiring approval of Shareholders for the Trustees to organize or assist in organizing one or more corporations, trusts, partnerships, associations or other organizations, and to sell, convey or transfer less than substantially all of the Trust Property or the assets belonging to any Series to such organizations or entities.

Reorganization. The Company has not taken any action and is not aware of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c) The Trustees may create one or more business trusts to which all or any part of the assets, liabilities, profits or losses of the Trust or any Series or Class thereof may be transferred and may provide for the conversion of Shares in the Trust or any Series or Class thereof into beneficial interests in any such newly created trust or trusts or any series or classes thereof.
Reorganization. (a) The Company shall effect such reorganization of its business, operations, subsidiaries and assets or such other transactions (each, a “Pre-Acquisition Reorganization”) as the Purchaser may reasonably request prior to the Expiry Time; provided, however, that the Company need not effect a Pre-Acquisition Reorganization which would impede or materially delay the take-up of Exeter Shares and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or that would be prejudicial to the Company, its subsidiaries or the Exeter Securityholders or that would involve a material amount of the time and attention of the Company’s officers or employees.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing and other than as set forth in clause (a) above, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from any persons to effect each Pre-Acquisition Reorganization, and the Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser in structuring, planning and implementing any such Pre-Acquisition Reorganization. The Purchaser shall provide written notice to the Company of any proposed Pre-Acquisition Reorganization at least ten Business Days prior to the Expiry Time. In addition:
(i) any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not unreasonably interfere with the Company’s material operations prior to the Effective Time and shall not become effective until the Purchaser shall have waived or confirmed in writing the satisfaction of all conditions in its favour in the Offer and in this Agreement and shall have confirmed in writing that it is prepared to promptly, and without condition, proceed to effect the acquisition of the Exeter Shares;
(ii) any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not require the Company to contravene any applicable Laws, its organizational documents or any Material Contract; and
(iii) the Company shall not be obligated to take any action that could result in any Taxes being imposed on, or any adverse Tax or other consequences to, any Exeter Securityholder incrementally greater than the Taxes or other consequences to such party in connection with the take-up of Exeter Shares and the consummation of the Offer in the absence of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization.
(c) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the planning for and implementation of any Pre-Acquisition Reorganization shall not be considered a breach of any covenant under this Agreement and shall not be considered in determining whether a representation or warranty of the Company hereund...
