The Reorganization 1.1 The Acquired Fund will transfer to the Surviving Fund all of its assets (consisting of, without limitation, portfolio securities and instruments, dividend and interest receivables, claims and rights of action, cash and other assets) as set forth in a statement of assets and liabilities as of the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1 hereof), certified by the Acquired Fund’s Treasurer, Deputy Treasurer, or Assistant Treasurer and delivered by the Acquired Fund to the Surviving Fund pursuant to paragraph 5.7 hereof (the “Statement of Assets and Liabilities�) (collectively, the “Assets�), free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, except as otherwise provided herein, in exchange solely for (a) the assumption by the Surviving Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund including the Acquired Fund’s liabilities, debts, obligations, and duties of whatever kind or nature, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (collectively, the “Liabilities�) and (b) the issuance and delivery by the Surviving Fund to the Acquired Fund, for distribution in accordance with paragraph 1.3 hereof pro rata to the Acquired Fund shareholders of record determined as of the Valuation Time (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders�), of the number of full and fractional (rounded to the third decimal place) Reorganization Shares determined as provided in paragraph 2.2 hereof. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in paragraph 3.1 hereof (the “Closing�).
1.2 The Acquired Fund has provided the Surviving Fund with a list of the current securities holdings and other assets of the Acquired Fund as of the date of execution of this Agreement. The Acquired Fund reserves the right to sell any of these securities or other assets prior to the Closing.
1.3 On or as soon after the closing date established in paragraph 3.1 hereof (the “Closing Date�) as is conveniently practicable (the “Liquidation Date�), the Acquired Fund will distribute the Reorganization Shares it received pursuant to paragraph 1.1 hereof pro rata to the Acquired Fund Shareholders in actual or constructive exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund. Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Initial Class and Service Class Reorganization Shares then credited to the account of the Acquired Fund on the books of the Surviving Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Surviving Fund in the names of the Acquired Fund Shareholders and representing the respective pro rata number of full and fractional (rounded to the third decimal place) Initial Class and Service Class Reorganization Shares due such shareholders, by class (i.e., the account for each Acquired Fund Shareholder of Initial Class and Service Class Acquired Fund Shares shall be credited with the respective pro rata number of Initial Class and Service Class (as applicable) Reorganization Shares due that shareholder). The Surviving Fund will not issue share certificates representing the Reorganization Shares in connection with such distribution, except in connection with pledges and assignments and in certain other limited circumstances.
1.4 The Acquired Fund shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that Acquired Fund Shareholders holding certificates representing their ownership of Acquired Fund Shares surrender such certificates or deliver an affidavit with respect to lost certificates, in such form and accompanied by such surety bonds as the Acquired Fund may require (collectively, an “Affidavit�), to the Acquired Fund prior to the Closing Date. Any Acquired Fund Share certificate that remains outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be cancelled, shall no longer show evidence of ownership of Acquired Fund Shares and shall not evidence ownership of any Reorganization Shares. Unless and until any such certificate shall be so surrendered or an Affidavit relating thereto shall be delivered, any dividends and other distributions payable by the Surviving Fund subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Reorganization Shares allocable to a holder of such certificate(s) shall be paid to such holder, but such holder may not redeem or transfer such Reorganization Shares.
1.5 Any transfer taxes payable upon issuance of the Reorganization Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Acquired Fund Shares on the books of the Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Reorganization Shares are to be issued and transferred.
1.6 The legal existence of the Acquired Fund shall be terminated promptly following the Liquidation Date.
Merger or Reorganization If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization�) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
Corporate Reorganization In the event that the Company changes ownership, merges with another company or in any way changes its corporate identity, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Union recognition now in effect and/or the certificate issued by the Canada Labour Relations Board then in existence shall not be affected in any way except as otherwise governed or directed by the Board. The Company further agrees to enter into negotiations with the Union relative to protection of employees' seniority and other conditions of this Agreement. Failing settlement, the provisions of the Canada Labour Code will apply.
Capital Reorganization If and whenever at any time prior to Expiration Date there shall be a reorganization, reclassification or other change of Common Shares outstanding at such time or change of the Common Shares into other shares or into other securities, or a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation or other entity (other than a consolidation, amalgamation, arrangement or merger which does not result in any reclassification of the outstanding Common Shares or a change of the Common Shares into other shares), or a sale, conveyance or transfer of the undertaking or assets of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to another corporation or entity in which the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive shares, other securities or property, including cash (any of such events being herein called a “Capital Reorganization�), any Warrantholder who exercises its right to subscribe for and purchase Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrant after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive, and shall accept for the same aggregate consideration in lieu of the number of Warrant Shares to which the Warrantholder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise, the aggregate number of shares, other securities or other property, including cash, which the Warrantholder would have received as a result of such Capital Reorganization had it exercised its right to acquire Warrant Shares immediately prior to the effective date or record date, as the case may be, of the Capital Reorganization and had it been the registered holder of such Warrant Shares on such effective date or record date, as the case may be, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained in Sections 13(a) through 13(j), inclusive. No Capital Reorganization shall be completed by the Company unless the foregoing provisions of this Section 13(r) have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Warrantholder and the Warrantholder has confirmed the same in writing to the Company, which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld.
