(b) Each Acquiring Fund will assume all Obligations; and

(c) Each Acquiring Fund will issue and deliver to the corresponding Target Fund in exchange for the net assets attributable to each class of its shares a number of Acquisition Shares of the corresponding class (including fractional shares, if any) determined by dividing the value of such net assets, computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1, by the net asset value of one Acquisition Share of the corresponding class computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.2. Such transactions shall take place at the Closing.

Each Acquiring Fund further agrees that such rights and limitations may be asserted against the Acquiring Fund, its successors or assigns.

2.3. On the Liquidation Date, each Target Fund will liquidate and distribute pro rata to its shareholders of record of each class of its shares, determined as of the close of business on the Valuation Date, the Acquisition Shares of the corresponding class received by the Target Fund pursuant to paragraph 2.1.

9.4.

9.5. With respect to a RIC Reorganization, the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall have received a favorable opinion of Ropes & Xxxx LLP satisfactory to each of them (which opinion will be subject to certain 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, as further described below, generally for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

(a) The transaction contemplated by this Agreement will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;

(b) Under Sections 361 and 357 of the Code, the Target Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon (i) the transfer of all its assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquisition Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Target Fund or (ii) the distribution of the Acquisition Shares by the Target Fund to its shareholders in liquidation, except for (A) any gain or loss recognized on (1) “Section 1256 contracts” as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code or (2) stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (B) any other gain or loss required to be recognized by reason of the reorganization (1) as a result of the closing of the tax year of Target Fund, (2) upon the termination of a position, or (3) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a nontaxable transaction under the Code;

(c) Under Section 1032 of the Code, the Acquiring Fund will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of the assets of the Target Fund in exchange for the Acquisition Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all liabilities and obligations of the Target Fund;

11

(d) Under Section 362(b) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund’s tax basis in the assets of the Target Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the Target Fund’s tax basis of such assets immediately prior to the transfer, adjusted for any gain or loss required to be recognized as described in (b) above;

(e) Under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund’s holding periods for the assets it receives from the Target Fund, other than any asset with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized as described in (b) above, will include the periods during which such assets were held or treated for federal income tax purposes as being held by the Target Fund;

(f) Under Section 354 of the Code, the Target Fund’s shareholders will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of all of their shares of the Target Fund for the Acquisition Shares;

(g) Under Section 358 of the Code, the aggregate tax basis of Acquisition Shares received by a shareholder of the Target Fund will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor;

(h) Under Section 1223(1) of the Code, a Target Fund shareholder’s holding period for the Acquisition Shares received will include the shareholder’s holding period for the Target Fund shares exchanged therefor, provided the shareholder held such Target Fund shares as capital assets on the date of the exchange; and

(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.

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications made by officers of the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and will also be based on customary assumptions. The opinion will note and distinguish certain published precedent. The opinion is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the reorganization will be as described above. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or a court would agree with the opinion.

9.6. With respect to the RIC-to-Partnership Reorganization, the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall have received a favorable opinion of Ropes & Xxxx LLP satisfactory to each of them (which opinion will be subject to certain 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) Under Section 723 of the Code, the Acquiring Fund’s tax basis in the assets of the Target Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the Target Fund’s tax basis in such assets immediately prior to the reorganization, adjusted for (A) any gain or loss recognized on (1) “Section 1256 contracts” as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code or (2) stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (B) any other gain or loss required to be recognized by reason of the reorganization (1) as a result of the closing of the tax year of Target Fund, (2) upon the termination of a position, or (3) upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a nontaxable transaction under the Code;

(b) Under Section 1223(2) of the Code, the Acquiring Fund’s holding periods in the assets received from the Target Fund, other than any asset with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized as described in (a) above, will include the Target Fund’s holding periods in such assets; and

(c) Under Sections 852(b) and 561(a) of the Code, the Target Fund’s distribution of the Acquisition Shares will eliminate the tax liability of the Target Fund with respect to any gain recognized upon the distribution of the Acquisition Shares to the shareholders of the Target Fund.

The opinion will not address the tax consequences of the RIC-to-Partnership Reorganization to the Target Fund shareholders.

12

The opinion will be based on certain factual certifications made by officers of the Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and will also be based on customary assumptions. The opinion is not a guarantee that the tax consequences of the reorganization will be as described above. There is no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or a court would agree with the opinion.

9.7 At any time prior to the Closing, any of the foregoing conditions of this Agreement may be waived jointly by the board of trustees/directors 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.

In the event the Closing does not occur, Columbia shall bear all such expenses.

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.

12. TERMINATION.

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

(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

13

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