NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1. THE REORGANIZATION
1.1 Subject to requisite approvals and the other terms and conditions herein set forth and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, the Predecessor Entity agrees to sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver all of the Predecessor Entity’s property and assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to the Successor Fund, and the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund, agrees in exchange therefor: (a) to deliver to the Predecessor Entity the number, determined in accordance with paragraph 1.3, of full and fractional Successor Fund Shares corresponding to Predecessor Entity Shares as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 3.1; and (b) to assume all liabilities of the Predecessor Entity, as set forth in paragraph 1.2. Such transactions shall take place on a closing date as provided for in paragraph 3.1 (the “Closing Date”).
1.2 The property and assets of the Predecessor Entity, to be sold, assigned, conveyed, transferred and delivered to and acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund, shall consist of all assets and property of every kind and nature of the Predecessor Entity, including, without limitation, all rights, receivables (including dividend, interest and other receivables), cash, cash equivalents, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown), securities, commodities and futures interests, good will and other intangible property, any deferred or prepaid expenses and all interests, rights, privileges and powers (collectively, “Assets”). The Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund, shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Predecessor Entity, including, without limitation, all indemnification obligations of the Predecessor Entity with respect to the current and former Board Members and officers of the
2
Predecessor Entity, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Date (as defined in Section 2) (collectively, “Liabilities”). The Predecessor Entity will sell, assign, convey, transfer and deliver to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund, any rights, stock dividends or other securities received by the Predecessor Entity after the Closing Date as stock dividends or other distributions on or with respect to the property and assets transferred, which rights, stock dividends and other securities shall be deemed included in the property and assets transferred to the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund, at the Closing Date and shall not be separately valued, in which case any such distribution that remains unpaid as of the Closing Date shall be included in the determination of the value of the assets of the Predecessor Entity acquired by the Successor Entity, on behalf of the Successor Fund.
1.3 Immediately following the actions contemplated by paragraph 1.1, the Predecessor Entity shall take such actions necessary to complete the Reorganization. To complete the Reorganization, the Predecessor Entity shall (a) distribute to its shareholders of record with respect to the Predecessor Entity Shares as of the Closing Date (the “Predecessor Entity Shareholders”), on a pro rata basis, the Successor Fund Shares received by the Predecessor Entity pursuant to paragraph 1.1, in complete redemption of such Predecessor Entity Shares, and (b) terminate and dissolve in accordance with applicable Massachusetts law. Such distribution and redemption shall be accomplished by the transfer of the Successor Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Predecessor Entity on the books of the Successor Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Successor Fund in the names of the Predecessor Entity Shareholders, and the cancellation of all issued and outstanding Predecessor Entity Shares on the books of the Predecessor Entity. The aggregate net asset value of Successor Fund Shares to be delivered and so credited to the Predecessor Entity under paragraph 1.1 and then distributed by the Predecessor Entity to the Predecessor Entity Shareholders under this paragraph 1.3 shall be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Predecessor Entity Shares owned by Predecessor Entity Shareholders on the Closing Date. The Successor Fund shall not issue certificates representing any Successor Fund Share in connection with such exchange.
1.4 Ownership of Successor Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Successor Fund’s transfer agent.
1.5 Any regulatory reporting responsibility of the Predecessor Entity, including, but not limited to, the responsibility for filing regulatory reports or other documents with the Commission, any state securities commission, or any other relevant regulatory authority (but excluding the filing of any tax returns), is and shall remain the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity.
1.6 As promptly as practicable following the Reorganization, the Predecessor Entity will take all necessary action to effect its deregistration as an investment company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission and shall subsequently voluntarily dissolve in accordance with the requirements of Massachusetts law.

14 |
liquidation of the Predecessor Entity will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Successor Fund and the Predecessor Entity will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code; (b) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Predecessor Entity upon the transfer of its Assets to the Successor Fund solely in exchange for the Successor Fund Shares and the assumption by the Successor Fund of all of the Liabilities, or upon the distribution of the Successor Fund Shares by the Predecessor Entity to its shareholders, except for (i) any gain or loss that may be recognized on the transfer of “section 1256 contracts” as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code, (ii) any gain that may be recognized on the transfer of stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (iii) any other gain that may be required to be recognized as a result of the closing of the Predecessor Entity’s taxable year; (c) the basis in the hands of the Successor Fund of the Assets of the Predecessor Entity will be the same as the basis of such Assets in the hands of the Predecessor Entity immediately prior to the transfer thereof, increased by the amount of gain (or decreased by the amount of loss), if any, recognized by the Predecessor Entity upon the transfer; (d) the holding periods of the Assets in the hands of the Successor Fund, other than assets with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized, will include in each instance the period during which the Assets were held by the Predecessor Entity; (e) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Successor Fund upon receipt of the Assets solely in exchange for the Successor Fund Shares and the assumption by the Successor Fund of the Liabilities of the Predecessor Entity; (f) no gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of the Predecessor Entity upon the exchange of all of their Predecessor Entity Shares solely for Successor Fund Shares as part of the Reorganization; (g) the aggregate basis of the Successor Fund Shares that each Predecessor Entity Shareholder receives in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of his or her Predecessor Entity Shares exchanged therefor; and (h) each Predecessor Entity Shareholder’s holding period for his or her Successor Fund Shares received in the Reorganization will be determined by including the period for which he or she held the Predecessor Entity Shares exchanged therefor, provided that he or she held such Predecessor Entity Shares as capital assets on the date of the exchange. The delivery of such opinion is conditioned upon receipt by Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxxx LLP of representations it shall request of the Successor Entity and the Predecessor Entity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Successor Entity nor the Predecessor Entity may waive the condition set forth in this paragraph 8.5.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another person of such expenses would result in the disqualification of such party as a “regulated investment company” within the meaning of Section 851 of the Code or would prevent the Reorganization from qualifying as a tax-free reorganization.

The termination of this Agreement with respect to
18 |
the Predecessor Entity or the Successor Fund shall not affect the continued effectiveness of this Agreement with respect to the rights and obligations of any party in respect of any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.
