as reasonably practicable following the date hereof but in any event within twenty (20) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 (such Schedule 13E-3, as amended or supplemented, being referred to herein as the \u201cSchedule 13E-3\u201d). Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Schedule 13E-3 complies in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 13E-3. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall provide reasonable assistance and cooperation to the Company in the preparation, filing, and mailing/distribution of the Schedule 13E-3 and the resolution of comments from the SEC. Upon its receipt of any comments from the staff of the SEC or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 13E-3, the Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub, and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the staff of the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to filing the Schedule 13E-3 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide Parent and Merger Sub with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response; and (ii) shall consider in good faith all additions, deletions or changes reasonably proposed by Parent in good faith, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.1 shall limit or preclude the Board or the Special Committee from effecting a Change in Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and subject to compliance with the terms of Section 6.2(e), in connection with any disclosure regarding a Change in Company Recommendation, the Company shall not be required to provide Parent or Merger Sub with the opportunity to review or comment on (or include comments proposed by Parent or Merger Sub in) the Schedule 13E-3 or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any comments thereon or another filing by the Company with the SEC, with respect to such disclosure.\n(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish all information concerning such party to the others as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing, and mailing/distribution of the Schedule 13E-3 or any other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees, as to itself and its respective Affiliates or Representatives, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 13E-3 or any other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions, will, as of the time such documents (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) are mailed to the shareholders of the Company, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact required to be made therein, or necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company further agrees that all documents that such party is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and any other applicable Laws and that all information supplied by such party for inclusion or incorporation by reference in such document will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state a material fact required to be made therein, or necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, or their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Schedule 13E-3 so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be made therein, or necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party discovering such event or circumstance shall promptly inform the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such event or circumstance shall be promptly filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company to the extent required by Law; provided that prior to such filing, the Company and Parent, as the case may be, shall consult with each other with respect to such amendment or supplement and shall afford the other party and their Representatives a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.\n(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC staff confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3, the Company shall (i) establish a record date for determining shareholders of the Company to whom the Schedule 13E-3 will be mailed or distributed (the \u201cRecord Date\u201d) and shall not change such Record Date unless required to do so by applicable Law; (ii) mail or distribute or cause to be mailed or distributed the Schedule 13E-3 to the holders of Shares, including Shares represented by ADSs, as of the Record Date; and (iii) instruct the Depositary to (A) fix the Record Date as the record date for determining the holders of ADSs to whom the Schedule 13E-3 will be mailed/distributed (the \u201cRecord ADS Holders\u201d) and (B) provide the Schedule 13E-3 to all Record ADS Holders.", "size": 124, "samples": [{"hash": "h1iZLuxVlsv", "uri":

In addition, the covenants set forth in this Section 2.1 shall not be deemed to prevent the voting of any voting securities of the Fund held by a \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587 in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such security (\u201cMirror Voting\u201d) in accordance with the proxy voting policy of such \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587 or prevent the Saba RICs from taking or failing to take any other action during the Effective Period; provided, however, \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 agrees that to the extent not inconsistent with its legal and regulatory obligations in respect of the Saba RICs under the 1940 Act (including its obligations set forth in its Investment Advisory Agreements with such Saba RICs) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, it and its Affiliates will not advise any of the Saba RICs to take or omit to take any action which Saba or any of its Affiliates is prohibited to take or is required to take, as the case may be, under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will restrict or prohibit Saba and its Related Parties (as defined below) from taking any actions with respect to any fund (except for the Fund) advised by the Advisor, any member of the Board in their capacities as directors/trustees of any fund (except in their capacities as trustees of the Fund) advised by the Advisor or the Advisor in connection with its management of another fund.\n2.2 Saba further covenants and agrees that during the Effective Period, it will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to:\n(a) appear by proxy or otherwise at all annual and special meetings of shareholders of the Fund and to cause all Common Shares and any other voting securities of the Fund it beneficially owns as of the record date for any such meeting to be counted as present thereat for purposes of a quorum; and\n(b) vote or cause to be voted at all annual and special meetings of shareholders of the Fund all Common Shares and any other voting securities of the Fund it and its Affiliates beneficially own as of the record date and is legally entitled to vote for such meeting (i) in favor of election of the Board\u2019s trustee nominees, (ii) against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition or inconsistent with, the recommendation of the Board regarding the election of the Board\u2019s trustee nominees or a shareholder proposal submitted to the Fund pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act or otherwise, and (iii) in accordance with the Board\u2019s recommendations on any other matter submitted to the Fund\u2019s shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, if Saba or any of its Affiliates lends any Common Shares of the Fund to any third party (in compliance with the restrictions in Section 2.1), Saba or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall recall any such stock loan in advance of the record date for any vote of or consent by the shareholders of the Fund so that Saba shall have full voting rights with respect to all such loaned Common Shares (except for the Saba RICs), provided that the Fund informs \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 in writing of such record date at least ten (10) business days in advance of such record date. In no event shall Saba or any Affiliate enter into any agreement with the intent of disposing, or resulting in the disposition of, its rights to vote any of the Common Shares of the Fund in circumvention of the requirements of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that a final sale of Common Shares of the Fund (not coupled with any repurchase agreement or similar reacquisition agreement) shall not be considered a prohibited sale of voting rights in contravention of this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Saba shall have no obligations under Section 2.2(a) or 2.2(b) hereof in connection with any solicitation of votes, consents or approvals of shareholders of the Fund with respect to a transaction, proposal or arrangement that would violate the Fund\u2019s agreements and undertakings in this Agreement and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, if any \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587 has purchased or otherwise acquired voting securities of the Fund, such \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587 will Mirror Vote such securities or, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the proxy voting policy of such \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587, abstain from voting such voting securities.\n2.3 Upon the written request of the Fund, which shall be made no more frequently than once each fiscal year of the Fund, Saba will notify the Fund in writing of the number of Common Shares or any other voting securities of the Fund beneficially owned by it and its Affiliates.\n2.4 During the Effective Period (except in connection with (a) the ECAT Litigation and (b) the ECAT/MUI Litigation, as specified in the next paragraph), Saba shall refrain from making, and shall cause its affiliates (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) and its and their respective Related Parties not to make or cause to be made, any public statement or announcement, including in any document or report filed with or furnished to the SEC or through the press, media, social media, analysts or other persons, that constitutes an ad hominem attack on, or otherwise, whether true or false, disparages, defames, slanders, impugns or is reasonably likely to damage the reputation, character, honesty, integrity, morality, business acumen or abilities of the Fund, the Advisor or any of their respective affiliates, or any of their respective current or former principals, directors, trustees, members, general partners, officers or employees. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 2.4 shall not apply to UK Listed Funds (as defined above) or the directors of such UK Listed Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for the avoidance of doubt, \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2019s counsel may make any statement in connection with the ECAT Litigation or the ECAT/MUI Litigation that they, in their good faith professional judgment, determine is reasonably appropriate to advance the ECAT Litigation or the ECAT/MUI Litigation so long as such statement does not constitute an ad hominem attack on any current or former trustee, director, officer or employee of ECAT, MUI, the Advisor or their respective affiliates.", "size": 107, "samples": [{"hash":
