• Reorganization Events (a) In the event of: (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person); (ii) any direct or indirect sale, lease, assignment, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s consolidated property or assets; (iii) any reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including securities other than Common Stock (other than changes in par value or resulting from a subdivision or combination); or (iv) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition); in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, securities, cash or other property (each, a “Reorganization Event”), each Purchase Contract outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of Holders of the Purchase Contracts, become a contract to purchase the kind of securities, cash and/or other property that a holder of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in connection with such Reorganization Event (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property” with each unit of Exchange Property being the kind and amount of Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event) and, prior to or at the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Purchase Contract Agent and the Trustee a supplemental agreement permitted under Section 9.01(iv) amending this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts to provide for such change in the right to settle the Purchase Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall a Qualified McKesson Exit and related transactions, including the Merger, constitute a Reorganization Event. For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of Exchange Property in the case of any Reorganization Event that causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock. The Company shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The number of units of Exchange Property the Company shall deliver for each Purchase Contract settled following the effective date of such Reorganization Event shall be equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would otherwise be required to deliver as determined based on the Fixed Settlement Rates then in effect on the applicable Determination Date, or such other settlement rates as provided herein (without interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a record date prior to the close of business on the Determination Date). Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be determined based upon the Applicable Market Value of a unit of Exchange Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Reorganization Event.

• Reorganization, etc To consent to or participate in any plan for the reorganization, consolidation or merger of any corporation or issuer, any security or debt instrument of which is or was held in the Trust; to consent to any contract, lease, mortgage, purchase or sale of property by such corporation or issuer, and to pay calls or subscriptions with respect to any security or debt instrument held in the Trust;

• Reorganization of Company If the Company consolidates or merges with or into, or transfers or leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person, upon consummation of such transaction the Warrants shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if such holder had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction; provided that (i) if the holders of Common Stock were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each Warrant shall become exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by the holders of Common Stock in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election or (ii) if a tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of Common Stock under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such Warrant holder had exercised the Warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Common Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 11. Concurrently with the consummation of any such transaction, the corporation or other entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than the Company, or the person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into a supplemental Warrant Agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The successor Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed, surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental Warrant Agreement. If this subsection (l) applies, subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 11 do not apply.

• Bankruptcy Matters No party to this Agreement shall take any action to cause the Depositor or the Issuer to dissolve in whole or in part or file a voluntary petition or otherwise initiate proceedings to have the Depositor or the Issuer adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Depositor or the Issuer, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief of the Depositor or the Issuer as debtor under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors with respect to the Depositor or the Issuer; or seek or consent to the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, assignee, sequestrator, custodian, liquidator (or other similar official) of the Depositor or the Issuer or of all or any substantial part of the properties and assets of the Depositor or the Issuer, or cause the Issuer to make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Depositor or the Issuer, or take any action in furtherance of any of the above actions.

• Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, etc In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder of this Warrant, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.

• Reorganization Treatment Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has taken or agreed to take any action that would prevent the Merger from constituting a reorganization qualifying under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code.

• Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount equal to the value of this Warrant according to the Black-Scholes formula. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary and so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any Triggering Event is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Trustees may, without Shareholder approval unless such approval is required by the 1940 Act, cause the Trust or any Series that is organized in the master/feeder fund structure to withdraw or redeem its Trust Property from the master fund and cause the Trust or such Series to invest its Trust Property directly in securities and other financial instruments or in another master fund.

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee before all Senior Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such payment in money in accordance with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, and their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article XII shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 16.3 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article XII. Nothing in Section 16.2 or in this Section 16.3 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 9.7.
