The respective obligations of each Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund hereunder are subject to the further conditions that on or before the Closing:

9.1. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall have received all necessary shareholder approvals at the meeting of shareholders of each Target Fund referred to in paragraph 6.2, if any.

9.2. On the Closing Date, no action, suit or other proceeding shall be pending before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.3. All consents of other parties and all other consents, orders and permits of federal, state and local regulatory authorities (including those of the SEC and of state “Blue Sky” and securities authorities) deemed necessary by the Target Fund or the corresponding Acquiring Fund to permit consummation, in all material respects, of the transactions contemplated hereby shall have been obtained, except when failure to obtain any such consent, order or permit would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the assets or properties of the Target Fund or the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

9.4. The Registration Statement, if any, shall have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop order suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties hereto, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act.

9.5. The Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall have received an opinion of Xxxxxx Price P.C. satisfactory to each of them (which opinion will be subject to certain customary qualifications), substantially to the effect that, on the basis of existing provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, current administrative rules and court decisions for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

(a) The transfer by the Target Fund of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquisition Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund, immediately followed by the pro rata, by class, distribution of all the Acquisition Shares so received by the Target Fund to the Target Fund’s shareholders of record in complete liquidation of the Target Fund and the termination of the Target Fund promptly thereafter, will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Acquiring Fund and the Target Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization,” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, with respect to the reorganization.

(b) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of all the assets of the Target Fund solely in exchange for Acquisition Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the Obligations of the Target Fund.

(c) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquisition Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the Obligations of the Target Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of the Acquisition Shares so received to the Target Fund’s shareholders solely in exchange for such shareholders’ shares of the Target Fund in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

(d) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund’s shareholders upon the exchange, pursuant to this Agreement, of all their shares of the Target Fund solely for Acquisition Shares.

(e) The aggregate basis of the Acquisition Shares received by each Target Fund shareholder pursuant to this Agreement will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor by such shareholder.

(f) The holding period of the Acquisition Shares received by each Target Fund shareholder in the reorganization will include the period during which the shares of the Target Fund exchanged therefor were held by such shareholder, provided such Target Fund shares were held as capital assets at the effective time of the reorganization.

(g) The basis of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of such assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately before the effective time of the reorganization.

(h) The holding period of the assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which such assets were held by the Target Fund.

(i) The Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account the items of the Target Fund described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in Sections 381, 382, 383 and 384 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder.

No opinion will be expressed as to (1) the effect of the reorganization on the Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund or any Target Fund shareholder with respect to any asset (including without limitation any stock held in a passive foreign investment company as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code) as to which any unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes (a) at the end of a taxable year or upon the termination thereof or (b) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a non-taxable transaction under the Code, or (2) any other federal tax issues (except those set forth above) and all state, local or foreign tax issues of any kind.

Such opinion will be based on customary assumptions and limitations and such representations, without independent verification, as Xxxxxx Price P.C. may reasonably request of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund, as well as the representations and warranties made in this Agreement, which Xxxxxx Price may treat as representations and warranties made to it. The Acquiring Company, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, and the Target Company, on behalf of the Target Fund, will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Target Fund nor the Acquiring Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 9.5.

9.6 At any time prior to the Closing, any of the foregoing conditions of this Agreement may be waived jointly by the board of trustees of each of the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund, if, in their judgment, such waiver will not have a material adverse effect on the interests of the shareholders of the Target Fund or the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

10. BROKERAGE; REORGANIZATION COSTS.

10.1. Each Target Fund and corresponding Acquiring Fund represents and warrants to the other that there are no brokers or finders entitled to receive any payments in connection with the transactions provided for herein.

10.2. With respect to each reorganization, the Acquiring Fund will bear the costs of certain reorganization-related testing conducted by the Fund’s auditors in connection with the reorganization. All other Reorganization Costs will be allocated among the Target Funds in accordance with this paragraph. Reorganization Costs include, but are not limited to: (i) the expenses associated with the preparation, printing and mailing of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement; (ii) the preparation of the Registration Statement and other shareholder communications and any filings with the SEC and/or other governmental authorities in connection with the reorganization; (iii) legal, audit, custodial and other fees incurred in connection with the reorganization; and (iv) proxy solicitation costs. Fees and expenses directly attributable to a specific Target Fund, such as printing and mailing costs, audit fees and custodial fees, are allocated to that Fund. Fees and expenses not directly attributable to a specific Target Fund, such as legal fees, will be allocated among Target Funds included the same combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement equally. Each Fund will bear Reorganization Costs to the extent that such fees and expenses do not exceed the anticipated reduction in expenses that shareholders of a Fund will realize in the first year following the reorganization. The anticipated reduction in expenses for each Fund in the first year following the reorganization shall be determined as of September 30, 2019 or the date of the pro forma information contained in the Registration Statement with respect to the Acquisition Shares, if later. Any amounts in excess of this limit will be borne by Columbia Threadneedle. If a reorganization does not occur, Columbia Threadneedle will bear all expenses associated with such reorganization.

11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES.

11.1. Each Target Fund and corresponding Acquiring Fund agrees that neither party has made any representation, warranty or covenant not set forth herein and that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties.

11.2. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder except paragraphs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 5.3, 6.4, 6.6, 7.3, and 12.2, and articles 10, 11, 14 and 15.

12. TERMINATION.

12.1. This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of a Target Company, on behalf of a Target Fund, and the corresponding Acquiring Company, on behalf of the corresponding Acquiring Fund. In addition, either a Target Company or the corresponding Acquiring Company may at its option terminate this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date because:

(a) of a material breach by the other of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein to be performed by the other party at or prior to the Closing Date;

(b) a condition herein expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party has not been met and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met; or

(c) any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued any judgment, injunction, order, ruling or decree or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated herein and such judgment, injunction, order, ruling, decree or other action becomes final and non-appealable; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph 12.1(c) shall have used its reasonable best efforts to have such judgment, injunction, order, ruling, decree or other action lifted, vacated or denied.

If any reorganization contemplated by this Agreement has not been completed by the first anniversary of this Agreement, this Agreement shall automatically terminate on that date with respect to that reorganization, unless a later date is agreed to by both the Target Company and the corresponding Acquiring Company.

12.2. If for any reason any transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated, no party shall be liable to any other party for any damages resulting therefrom, including without limitation consequential damages, except that Columbia Threadneedle will bear all Reorganization Costs associated with such transaction.

13. AMENDMENTS.

This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of each Target Company and corresponding Acquiring Company; provided, however, that no amendment that under applicable law requires approval by shareholders of a Target Fund or an Acquiring Fund, as applicable, shall be effective without such approval having been obtained.

14. NOTICES.

Any notice, report, statement or demand required or permitted by any provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given by prepaid telegraph, telecopy or certified mail addressed to the Target Fund or the corresponding Acquiring Fund, 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Secretary.

15.2. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.
