Subject to the exercise of its fiduciary duties under North Carolina law, the Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend to the Company’s shareholders that such shareholders vote in favor of the Shareholder Proposals. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall promptly prepare and file (but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date) with the Commission a preliminary proxy statement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the Commission or its staff with respect to the preliminary proxy statement and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such shareholders’ meeting to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders no later than September 16, 2011, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for such Shareholder Approval, including, without limitation, engaging a nationally recognized proxy solicitation firm to assist in obtaining Shareholder Approval. The Company shall notify Purchaser promptly of the receipt of any comments from the Commission or its staff with respect to the proxy statement and of any request by the Commission or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy statement or for additional information (but the Company shall not provide any Purchaser with any material, non-public information, unless requested by such Purchaser and pursuant to a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information). If at any time prior to such shareholders’ meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its shareholders such an amendment or supplement.

Shareholders Meeting. (a) The Company, acting through the Company Board, shall, in accordance with applicable law:
Shareholders Meeting. The Acquired Trust will call, convene and hold a meeting of shareholders of the Acquired Fund as soon as practicable, in accordance with applicable Law and the Old Mutual Governing Documents, for the purpose of approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and for such other purposes as may be necessary or desirable. In the event that, insufficient votes are received from shareholders, the meeting may be adjourned as permitted under the Old Mutual Governing Documents and applicable Law, and as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in order to permit further solicitation of proxies.
Shareholders Meeting. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after the later of (i) ten (10) days after the date the Company files the Proxy Statement with the SEC and (ii) the date the Company receives notice from the SEC that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law and the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, as each is amended, to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders to be held as promptly as practicable to consider the approval and adoption of the elimination of the Exchange Cap (the “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”). The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the elimination of the Exchange Cap, and will take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its shareholders required by the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market or applicable law to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its shareholders in advance of a vote on the elimination of the Exchange Cap or, if, as of the time for which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts such that the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with applicable law, the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market and the Company’s articles of organization and by-laws, as each is amended. Without the prior written consent of Purchaser 1, the elimination of the Exchange Cap shall be the only matter which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company’s shareholders at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting.
Shareholders Meeting. The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective, take all action necessary, including as required by and in accordance with the WBCL, the Company Articles of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval. The Company and the Company Board will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain from its shareholders the votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement required by the WBCL, including by recommending that its shareholders vote in favor of this Agreement, and the Company and the Company Board will not withdraw, qualify or adversely modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withdraw, qualify or adversely modify) the Company Board’s recommendation to the Company’s shareholders that the Company’s shareholders vote in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement (an “Adverse Recommendation”). However, if, prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, determines in good faith that (a) an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (b) it is reasonably likely that to continue to recommend this Agreement to its shareholders in light of such Acquisition Proposal would result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under the WBCL, then, in submitting this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation or publicly propose or resolve to make an Adverse Recommendation.
Shareholders Meeting. (a) The Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law, the Company’s Organizational Documents and the rules of The Nasdaq Global Market promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable the Company Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of considering and voting upon the Company Voting Proposal. Subject to Section 6.4(b), (i) the Company Board shall make the Company Recommendation and include such Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (ii) the Company Board shall not withhold, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, and (iii) the Company shall take all action that is both reasonable and lawful to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the Company Voting Proposal and shall take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the shareholders of the Company required by the rules of The Nasdaq Global Market or the CCC to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, with the mutual agreement of Parent may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s shareholders or, if as of the time for which the Company Shareholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders Meeting.
