Plan of Exchange a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Fund shall assign, transfer and convey its assets, including all securities and cash held by the Fund (subject to the liabilities of the Fund which shall be assumed by the Successor Fund) to the Successor Fund, and the Successor Fund shall acquire all of the assets of the Fund (subject as aforesaid to the liabilities of the Fund) in exchange for full and fractional shares of beneficial interest of the Successor Fund (the "Successor Fund Shares"), to be issued by the Federated Trust, in an aggregate number equal to the number of shares of the Fund then outstanding, and having an aggregate net asset value equal to the net assets of the Fund. The value of the assets of the Fund and the net asset value per share of the Successor Fund Shares shall be computed as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the Exchange Date (as hereinafter defined) (such time and date being hereinafter called the "Valuation Time") in accordance with the procedures for determining the value of the Successor Fund's assets set forth in the Successor Fund's organizational documents and the then-current prospectus and statement of additional information for the Successor Fund that forms a part of the Successor Fund's Registration Statement on Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement"). Successor Fund will not issue certificates representing Successor Fund Shares in connection with the Reorganization. In lieu of delivering certificates for the Successor Fund Shares, the Federated Trust shall credit the Successor Fund Shares to the Fund's account on the share record books of the Federated Trust and shall deliver a confirmation thereof to the Fund. The Fund shall then deliver written instructions to the Federated Trust's transfer agent to establish accounts for the shareholders on the share record books relating to the Successor Fund.
b) When the Successor Fund Shares are distributed pursuant to paragraph 1(a), all outstanding shares of the Fund, including any represented by certificates, shall be canceled on the Fund's share transfer books. No redemption or repurchase of Successor Fund Shares credited to a shareholder's account in respect of shares of the Fund represented by unsurrendered share certificates shall be permitted until such certificates have been surrendered to the Federated Trust for cancellation or, if such certificates are lost or misplaced, lost certificate affidavits and/or such other documentation that is satisfactory to the Federated Trust or its transfer agent have been executed and delivered thereto.
c) Delivery of the assets of the Fund to be transferred shall be made on the Exchange Date (as hereinafter defined). Assets transferred shall be delivered to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Federated Trust's custodian (the "Custodian"), for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund with all securities not in bearer or book entry form duly endorsed, or accompanied by duly executed separate assignments or stock powers, in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed, and with all necessary stock transfer stamps, sufficient to transfer good and marketable title thereto (including all accrued interest and dividends and rights pertaining thereto) to the Custodian for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, rights, restrictions and claims. All cash delivered shall be in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Custodian for the account of the Federated Trust and the Successor Fund.
d) The Fund will pay or cause to be paid to the Federated Trust any interest received on or after the Exchange Date with respect to assets transferred from the Fund to the Successor Fund hereunder and any distributions, rights or other assets received by the Fund after the Exchange Date as distributions on or with respect to the securities transferred from the Fund to the Successor Fund hereunder. All such assets shall be deemed included in assets transferred to the Successor Fund on the Exchange Date and shall not be separately valued.
e) The Exchange Date shall be November 17, 2006, or such earlier or later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties.
f) As soon as practicable after the Exchange Date, the Fund shall distribute all of the Successor Fund Shares received by it to the shareholders of the Fund in numbers equal to the number of shares that each such shareholder holds in the Fund, and shall take all other steps necessary to effect its dissolution and termination. After the Exchange Date, the Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its dissolution and termination.
