(2) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund upon the transfer of the Acquired Fund’s Assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of the Acquired Fund’s Liabilities, or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) by the Acquired Fund of such Acquiring Fund Shares to the Acquired Fund Shareholders in liquidation, except that the Acquired Fund may be required to recognize gain or loss with respect to: (A) contracts described in Section 1256(b) of the Code; (B) stock in a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code; or (C) any other gain or loss required to be recognized upon the termination of a position, or upon the transfer of such asset regardless of whether such a transfer would otherwise be a nontaxable transaction under the Code.

(4) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund Shareholders upon the distribution to them by the Acquired Fund of the Acquiring Fund Shares solely in exchange for their Acquired Fund Shares as part of the Reorganization. (5) The basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Acquired Fund Shareholder in the Reorganization will be the same as the basis of the shareholder’s Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor. (6) The basis of the Acquired Fund’s Assets received by the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the basis of the Acquired Fund’s Assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the transfer, adjusted for any gain or loss required to be recognized in paragraph (2) above. (7) The holding period for the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Acquired Fund Shareholder in the Reorganization will include the period for which the shareholder held the Acquired Fund Shares exchanged therefor, provided that the shareholder held such Acquired Fund Shares as a capital asset at the time of the exchange. (8) The holding period of the Acquired Fund’s Assets in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period for which the Acquired Fund’s Assets were held by the Acquired Fund (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating a holding period with respect to an Asset and except for any asset with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized as described in paragraph (2) above). (9) The Reorganization will not result in the termination of the Acquired Fund’s taxable year, and the Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account those tax attributes of the Acquired Fund that are described in Section 381(c) of the Code, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in the Code, the regulations thereunder, and existing court decisions and published interpretations of the Code and regulations. The delivery of such opinion is conditioned upon receipt by Dechert LLP of representations requested of AMT and Mainstay Funds on behalf of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund, respectively.
