(h) the Acquiring Fund’s holding period with respect to the Acquired Fund’s assets transferred as part of the Merger, other than assets with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized, will include the Acquired Fund’s holding period for assets (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating the holding period with respect to an asset); and
(i) the taxable year of the Acquired Fund will not end as a result of the Merger. The delivery of such opinion is conditioned upon the receipt by Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Bockius LLP of representations it shall request of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund.
