Plan of Reorganization dated March 15, 2016 by Wilmington Funds

THIS PLAN OF REORGANIZATION is made as of March 15, 2016 (this ‘‘Plan’’) by Wilmington Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, with its principal place of business at 111 S. Calvert Street, 26th Fl., Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (the “Trust”), on behalf of the following series:

Each reorganization will consist of: (i) the transfer of substantially all of the assets, property and goodwill (“Assets”) of Acquired Fund listed in the table above in exchange for the corresponding class of shares listed in the table above of Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (ii) the assumption by Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities (as set forth in paragraph 1.3) of Acquired Fund; (iii) the distribution of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares to the holders of the corresponding class of shares of Acquired Fund; and (iv) the liquidation of Acquired Fund as provided herein, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Plan (the “Reorganization”).

This Plan covers two, separate Reorganizations which are independent of one another. Accordingly, when the terms “Acquiring Fund” and “Acquired Fund” are used in the same sentence, they mean the Government Fund and the Prime Fund or the Government Fund and the Tax-Exempt Fund, and “the Reorganization means either of the Reorganizations covered by this Plan. In addition, Acquired Funds and Acquiring Fund may be referred to herein individually as a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds.”

WHEREAS, Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund are separate series of the Trust, and the Trust is an open-end, registered management investment company;

WHEREAS, Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund are authorized to issue their shares of beneficial interest;

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust have determined that the Reorganization, with respect to Acquiring Fund, is in the best interests of Acquiring Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of Acquiring Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization; and

WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Trust have determined that the Reorganization, with respect to Acquired Fund, is in the best interests of such Acquired Fund and that the interests of the existing shareholders of Acquired Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization;

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to consummate the Reorganizations and in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

1.1 THE EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and on the basis of the representations and warranties of Acquiring Fund contained herein, Acquired Fund agrees to sell, convey, transfer and deliver all of its Assets, as set forth in paragraph 1.2, to Acquiring Fund. In exchange, Acquiring Fund agrees to: (i) deliver to Acquired Fund the number of full and fractional Acquiring Fund Shares, determined, with respect to each class of shares of Acquired Fund and the corresponding class of shares of Acquiring Fund, by (a) multiplying the shares outstanding of Acquired Fund by (b) the ratio computed by dividing (x) the net asset value per share of Acquired Fund by (y) the net asset value per share of Acquiring Fund computed in the manner set forth in paragraph 2.2 and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.1 and (ii) assume all of the liabilities of Acquired Fund as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Holders of each class of shares of Acquired Fund will receive shares of the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund. Such transactions shall take place at the closing on the Closing Date provided for in paragraph 3.1.

1.2 ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED. The Assets of Acquired Fund to be acquired by Acquiring Fund shall consist of all property, assets, and goodwill, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities, interests in futures and dividends or interest receivable, stock splits, settlement rights and payments, including any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever (other than shareholders’ rights of redemption) owned by Acquired Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of Acquired Fund on the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 3.1), except for cash, bank deposits, or cash equivalent securities in an estimated amount necessary (1) to discharge all of Acquired Fund’s known liabilities on its books on the Closing Date including, but not limited to, its income dividends and capital gains distributions, if any, payable for any period prior to, and through, the Closing Date and (2) to pay such contingent liabilities as the trustees of the Trust shall reasonably deem to exist against Acquired Fund, if any, on the Closing Date, for which contingent and other appropriate liability reserves shall be established on the books of Acquired Fund.

Acquired Fund has provided to Acquiring Fund its most recent audited financial statements, which contain a list of all of Acquired Fund’s Assets as of the date of such statements. Acquired Fund hereby represents that as of the date of the execution of this Plan, there have been no changes in its financial position as reflected in such financial statements other than those occurring in the ordinary course of business in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, the issuance and redemption of Acquired Fund shares and the payment of normal operating expenses, dividends and capital gains distributions.

1.3 LIABILITIES TO BE DISCHARGED. Acquired Fund will discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 3.1). Acquiring Fund will assume all of the liabilities of Acquired Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Valuation Time (as defined in paragraph 2.1) in connection with the acquisition of the Assets and subsequent liquidation and dissolution of Acquired Fund.

1.4 LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION. On or as soon after the Closing Date as is conveniently practicable: (a) Acquired Fund will distribute in complete liquidation of itself, pro rata to its shareholders of record, determined as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Acquired Fund Shareholders”), all of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by Acquired Fund pursuant to

paragraph 1.1; and (b) Acquired Fund will thereupon proceed to dissolve and terminate as set forth in paragraph 1.8 below. Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of the Acquiring Fund Shares credited to the account of Acquired Fund on the books of Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of Acquiring Fund in the name of Acquired Fund Shareholders, and representing the respective pro rata number of Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of Acquired Fund (the “Acquired Fund Shares”) will simultaneously be canceled on the books of Acquired Fund and shall no longer evidence ownership thereof. Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such transfer. After the Closing Date, Acquired Fund shall not conduct any business except in connection with its termination. Fractional shares of beneficial interest of an Acquiring Fund shall be carried to the third decimal place.

1.5 OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent. Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued simultaneously to Acquired Fund, in an amount equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of each class of shares of Acquired Fund Shares, to be distributed to Acquired Fund Shareholders.

1.6 TRANSFER TAXES. Any transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of Acquired Fund Shares on the books of Acquired Fund as of that time shall, as a condition of such issuance and transfer, be paid by the person to whom such Acquiring Fund Shares are to be issued and transferred.

1.7 REPORTING RESPONSIBILITY. Any reporting responsibility of Acquired Fund is and shall remain the responsibility of Acquired Fund.

1.8 TERMINATION. Acquired Fund shall be terminated promptly following the Closing Date and the making of all distributions pursuant to paragraph 1.4.

1.9 BOOKS AND RECORDS. All books and records of Acquired Fund, including all books and records required to be maintained under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall be available to Acquiring Fund from and after the Closing Date and shall be turned over to Acquiring Fund as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

1.10. UNPAID DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. On the Closing Date (as defined in paragraph 3.1), Acquired Fund Shareholders as of the record date (the “Distribution Record Date”) with respect to any unpaid dividends and other distributions that were declared prior to the Closing Date shall have the right to receive such unpaid dividends and distributions with respect to the shares of Acquired Fund that such person had on the Distribution Record Date.

2.1 VALUATION OF ASSETS. The value of Acquired Fund’s Assets to be acquired by Acquiring Fund hereunder shall be the value of such Assets at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date provided in paragraph 3.1 or such earlier or later date and time as determined by an officer of the Trust (the “Valuation Time”), using the valuation procedures set forth in the Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Trust Instrument”), Acquiring Fund’s then current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and the Trust’s Amortized Cost Procedures under Rule 2a-7 and Pricing Committee Procedures, or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

2.2 VALUATION OF SHARES. The net asset value per share of each class of Acquiring Fund Shares shall be the net asset value per share computed as of the Valuation Time, determined to the nearest full cent, using the valuation procedures set forth in the Trust Instrument, Acquiring Fund’s then current Prospectus

and Statement of Additional Information, and the Trust’s Amortized Cost Procedures under Rule 2a-7 and Pricing Committee Procedures, or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

2.3 SHARES TO BE ISSUED. The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for Acquired Fund’s Assets, shall be determined, with respect to each class of shares of Acquired Fund and each corresponding class of shares of an Acquiring Fund, by (a) multiplying the shares outstanding of Acquired Fund by (b) the ratio computed by (x) dividing the net asset value per share of Acquired Fund by (y) the net asset value per share of Acquiring Fund determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2.

2.4 DETERMINATION OF VALUE. All computations of value shall be made by The Bank of New York Mellon, as the custodian for Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund (the “Custodian”).

(a) At the Valuation Time, if the net asset value per share of Acquiring Fund or an Acquired Fund (calculated using amortized cost, rounded to the fourth decimal place and reflecting any realized losses) is less than the net asset value per share of its Reorganization counterparty, then Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (the “Advisor”) shall contribute to the capital of the Fund with the lower net asset value per share an amount equal to the difference in such per share net asset values.

(b) In addition to and not in limitation of Section 2.5(a), if the difference between the per share net asset value of any class of Acquired Fund and the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund equals or exceeds $0.0010 at the Valuation Time, as computed by using market values in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Trust, then the Trust shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date involving such Funds until such time as the per share difference is less than that amount. If such Closing Date is postponed pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Fund having the per share net asset value of any class (as computed in accordance with the preceding sentence) at the Valuation Time that is $0.0010 or more lower than that of the corresponding class of shares of the other Fund shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce such difference to less than $0.0010 within thirty days. If after thirty days, the difference between the per share net asset value of any class of Acquired Fund and the corresponding class of Acquiring Fund still equals or exceeds $0.0010, then the parties shall have the right to terminate the reorganization transaction involving such Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

3.1 CLOSING DATE. The closing of the Reorganization of the Prime Fund and Acquiring Fund shall occur on or about August 15, 2016, and such date shall be the “Closing Date” for that Reorganization. The closing of the Reorganization of the Tax-Exempt Fund and Acquiring Fund shall occur on or about August 22, 2016, and such date shall be the “Closing Date” for that Reorganization. All acts taking place at the closing shall be deemed to take place immediately prior to the opening of business on the Closing Date unless otherwise provided herein. The closing shall be held at the offices of the Trust, or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

3.2 CUSTODIAN’S CERTIFICATE. Acquired Fund shall cause its the Custodian to deliver on the Closing Date a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (a) Acquired Fund’s portfolio securities, cash, and any other assets have been delivered in proper form to Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date; and (b) all necessary Taxes (as defined below) including all applicable federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, shall have been paid, or provision for payment shall have been made, in conjunction with the delivery of portfolio securities by Acquired Fund.

3.3 EFFECT OF SUSPENSION IN TRADING. In the event that on the scheduled Closing Date, either: (a) the NYSE or another primary exchange on which the portfolio securities of Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund are purchased or sold, shall be closed to trading or trading on such exchange shall be restricted; or (b) trading or the reporting of trading on the NYSE or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund is impracticable, then the Closing Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading is fully resumed and reporting is restored, or to such other date(s) as the parties may agree.

3.4 TRANSFER AGENT’S CERTIFICATE. Acquired Fund shall cause BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNYMIS”), as transfer agent for Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date, to deliver at the closing, a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and addresses of Acquired Fund Shareholders, and the number and percentage ownership of outstanding shares owned by each such shareholder at the Valuation Time. Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver or cause BNYMIS, its transfer agent, to issue and deliver a confirmation evidencing Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the Secretary of the Trust or provide evidence satisfactory to Acquired Fund that Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to Acquired Fund’s account on the books of Acquiring Fund. On the Closing Date, each party shall deliver to the other such bills of sale, checks, assignments, share certificates, receipts and other documents, if any, as such other party or its counsel may reasonably request.

The Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of each Fund, as well as any combined prospectus/ information statement (in the case of the Prime Fund - Acquiring Fund Reorganization) and any combined prospectus/proxy statement pursuant to which approval of the Tax-Exempt Fund’s shareholders will be sought (in the case of the Tax-Exempt Fund - Acquiring Fund Reorganization), shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) The execution, delivery, and performance of this Plan on behalf of each Fund (subject to approval by Tax-Exempt Fund shareholders) will not result in the violation of any provision of the Trust Instrument or the Trust’s By-Laws (“By-laws”) or of any material agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease, or other undertaking to which either is a party or by which it is bound.

(f) Acquired Fund has no material contracts or other commitments (other than this Plan) that will be terminated with liability to it before the Closing Date, except for liabilities, if any, to be discharged as provided in paragraph 1.3 hereof.

(g) Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to and accepted by the relevant Fund, no litigation, administrative proceeding, or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or to its knowledge threatened against either Fund or any of its properties or assets, which, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect its financial condition, the conduct of its business, or the ability of the Fund to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Plan. Neither Fund knows of any facts that might form the basis for the institution of such proceedings and neither Fund is a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree, or judgment of any court or governmental body that could materially and adversely affect its business or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. Neither Fund is charged with, or to its knowledge, threatened with, any violation or investigation of any possible violation of any provision of any federal, state or local law or regulation or administrative ruling relating to any aspect of its business.

(h) The audited financial statements of each Fund as of April 30, 2015, and for the fiscal year then ended, and any interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and such statements fairly reflect the financial condition of each Fund as of such date, and there are no known contingent liabilities of either Fund as of such date that are not disclosed in such statements.

(j) Since the date of the financial statements referred to in paragraph (h) above, there have been no material adverse changes in either Fund’s financial condition, assets, liabilities or business (other than changes occurring in the ordinary course of business), or any incurrence by a Fund of indebtedness maturing more than one year from the date such indebtedness was incurred, except as otherwise disclosed to and accepted by the Trust on behalf of the relevant Fund. For the purposes of this paragraph (j), a decline in the net asset value of Acquired Fund shall not constitute a material adverse change.

(k) The Trust has duly and timely filed, on behalf of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund, as appropriate, all Tax (as defined below) returns, reports, information returns, elections, agreements, and declarations, or other documents of any nature or kind (including any attached schedules, supplements and additional or supporting material) filed or required to be filed with respect to Taxes, including any claim for refund, amended return or declaration of estimated Taxes (and including any amendments with respect thereto) (collectively, the “Returns”), which are required to be filed by Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund, and all such Returns accurately state the amount of Tax owed for the periods covered by the Returns, or, in the case of information returns, the amount and character of income required to be reported by Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund.

The amounts set up as provisions for Taxes in the books and records of Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund, as appropriate, as of the Closing Date will, to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles, be sufficient for the payment of all Taxes of any kind, whether accrued, due, absolute, contingent or otherwise, which were or which may be payable by Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund, as appropriate, for any periods or fiscal years (or portions

To the best knowledge of the Trust, there are no levies, liens or encumbrances relating to Taxes existing, threatened or pending with respect to the Assets of Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund, as appropriate. There are no known actual or proposed deficiency assessments with respect to any Taxes payable by the Trust.

(l) All issued and outstanding shares of each Fund are duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable by such Fund. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Acquired Fund will, at the time of the Closing Date, be held by the persons and in the amounts set forth in the records of Acquired Fund’s transfer agent as provided in paragraph 3.4.

When so issued and delivered, such shares will be duly and validly issued Acquiring Fund Shares, and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

(p) The Trust has the necessary trust power and trust authority to conduct its business and the business of each Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund as such businesses are now being conducted. The Trust has full trust power and trust authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Plan. The execution, delivery and performance of this Plan have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of each Fund. Subject to approval by Tax-Exempt Fund shareholders, this Plan constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of each Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement among creditors, fraudulent transfer or conveyance and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(q) The information to be furnished by each Fund for use in no-action letters, applications for orders, registration statements, proxy materials, and other documents that may be necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated herein shall be accurate and complete in all material respects and shall comply in all material respects with federal securities and other applicable laws and regulations.

(r) From the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in paragraph 5.8), through the time of the meeting of Tax-Exempt Fund shareholders and on the Closing Date, any written information furnished by the Trust with respect to each Fund for use in the Registration Materials (as defined in paragraph 5.8), or any other materials provided in connection with the Reorganization, does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading.

(s) Acquired Fund has elected to be treated as a “regulated investment company” (a “RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is a fund that is treated as a separate corporation under Section 851(g)(1) of the Code; has qualified for treatment as a RIC for each taxable year since inception and will continue to qualify as a RIC for its taxable year ending upon its liquidation; has not had any earnings or profits accumulated in any taxable year to which the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code (or the corresponding provisions of prior law) did not apply to it; and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Plan will not cause it to fail to be qualified as a RIC as of the Closing Date.

(t) Acquiring Fund has elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and is a fund that is treated as a separate corporation under Section 851(g) of the Code; has qualified for treatment as a RIC for each taxable year since inception and will continue to qualify as a RIC for its current taxable; has not had any earnings or profits accumulated in any taxable year to which the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code (or the corresponding provisions of prior law) did not apply to it; and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Plan will not cause it to fail to be qualified as a RIC as of the Closing Date.

(u) Neither Acquiring Fund nor Acquired Fund is under jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case.

(v) There is no inter-corporate indebtedness existing between Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund that was issued, acquired, or will be settled at a discount.

(x) On the Closing Date, each class of shares of beneficial interest of Acquiring Fund to be issued pursuant to this Plan will be eligible for offering to the public in those states of the United States and jurisdictions in which the corresponding class of shares of Acquired Fund are presently eligible for offering to the public, and there are an unlimited number of shares registered under the 1933 Act such that there is a sufficient number of such shares to permit the transfers contemplated by this Plan to be consummated.

(y) Acquiring Fund agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain the approvals and authorizations required by the 1933 Act, the 1940 Act, and any state Blue Sky or securities laws as it may deem appropriate in order to continue its operations after the Closing Date.

Furthermore, no action, suit or other proceeding shall be threatened or pending before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with this Plan or the transactions contemplated herein.

8.3 All required consents of other parties and all other consents, orders, and permits of federal, state and local regulatory authorities (including those of the Commission and of State securities authorities, including any necessary “no-action” positions and exemptive orders from such federal and state authorities) to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall have been obtained, except where failure to obtain any such consent, order, or permit would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the Assets or properties of Acquiring Fund or Acquired Fund, provided that either party hereto may waive any such conditions for itself.

8.4 The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act, and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued prior to the Closing Date or shall be in effect on the Closing Date. To the best knowledge of Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act.

(a) The transfer by Acquired Fund of all of its Assets to Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by Acquiring Fund of all obligations and liabilities of Acquired Fund, while a taxable exchange, will result in no material adverse federal income tax consequences to Acquired Fund, pursuant to Section 1001 of the Code;

(e) The holding period of the Assets of Acquired Fund received by Acquiring Fund will begin on the day after the Closing Date, pursuant to Section 1223 of the Code and Rev. Rul. 66-7, 1966-1 CB 188;

(g) The basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund Shareholders (including fractional shares to which they may be entitled) will be the fair market value (i.e., the net asset value) of the Acquiring Fund Shares at the time of distribution, pursuant to Section 334(a) of the Code;

(h) The holding period of Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Acquired Fund Shareholders (including fractional shares to which they may be entitled) will begin on the day after the Closing Date, pursuant to Section 1223 of the Code and Rev. Rul. 66-7, 1966-1 CB 188.

Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP (“SRSY”) may reasonably request, and the Trust will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust may not waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.5.

8.7 That there be delivered to Acquiring Fund (a) shareholder information including: the names, addresses, and taxpayer identification numbers of the shareholders of Acquired Fund as of the Closing Date; the number of shares held by each shareholder; the dividend reinvestment elections applicable to each shareholder; and the backup withholding and nonresident alien withholding certifications, notices or records on file with Acquired Fund with respect to each shareholder; (b) if requested by Acquiring Fund in writing, all FIN 48 Workpapers; and (c) if requested by Acquiring Fund in writing, the Tax books and records of Acquired Fund for purposes of preparing any Tax returns required by law to be filed after the Closing Date.

8.8 That the Trust shall have received an opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to it from SRSY to the effect that:

(a) The Trust is a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b) The Trust is an open-end, investment company of the management type registered as such under the 1940 Act;

(c) The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value, of Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund.

(d) Assuming that the initial shares of beneficial interest of Acquired Fund were issued in accordance with the 1940 Act, and the Trust Instrument and the By-Laws, and that all other such outstanding shares of Acquired Fund were sold, issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of Acquired Fund’s prospectus in effect at the time of such sales, each such outstanding share is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;

(e) Assuming that the initial shares of beneficial interest of Acquiring Fund were issued in accordance with the 1940 Act and the Trust Instrument and the By-Laws, and that all other such outstanding shares of Acquiring Fund were sold, issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of Acquiring Fund’s prospectus in effect at the time of such sales, each such outstanding share is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable;

(f) Except as disclosed in Acquired Fund’s and Acquiring Fund’s currently effective prospectus, SRSY does not know of any material suit, action, or legal or administrative proceeding pending or threatened against the Trust, the unfavorable outcome of which would materially and adversely affect the Trust, Acquired Fund or Acquiring Fund;

(g) The shares of beneficial interest of Acquiring Fund to be issued pursuant to the terms of Article I hereof have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered as provided in this Plan, will have been validly issued and fully paid and will be non-assessable by the Trust or an Acquiring Fund;

(h) To SRSY’s knowledge, no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental authority or agency is required for the consummation by the Trust of the transactions contemplated by this Plan, except such as have been obtained under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, and Delaware laws (including, in the case of each of the foregoing, the rules and regulations thereunder and such as may be required under state securities laws); and

(i) Neither the execution nor performance of this Plan by the Trust violates any provision of its Trust Instrument, its By-Laws, or the provisions of any agreement or other instrument, known to such Counsel to which the Trust is a party or by which the Trust is otherwise bound.

(j) In rendering such opinion, SRSY may (i) rely, as to matters governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, on an opinion of competent Delaware counsel, (ii) make assumptions regarding the authenticity, genuineness, and/or conformity of documents and copies thereof without independent verification thereof, and other customary assumptions as the parties may agree, (iii) limit such opinion to applicable federal and state law, (iv) define the word “knowledge” and related terms to mean the knowledge of attorneys then with such firm who have devoted substantive attention to matters directly related to this Plan and the Reorganization; and (v) rely on certificates of officers or trustees of the Trust, in each case reasonably acceptable to the Trust.

9.1 The expenses of the Reorganization will be borne by the Advisor or its affiliates.

10.1 After the Closing Date, the Trust shall or shall cause its agents to prepare any federal, state or local Tax Returns, including any Forms 1099, required to be filed by the Trust with respect to Acquired Fund’s final taxable year ending with its complete liquidation and for any prior periods or taxable years and shall further cause such Tax Returns and Forms 1099 to be duly filed with the appropriate taxing authorities.

10.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of Article IX hereof, any expenses incurred by the Trust or Acquired Fund (other than for payment of Taxes) in connection with the preparation and filing of said Tax returns and Forms 1099 after the Closing Date, shall be borne by Acquired Fund to the extent such expenses have been or should have been accrued by Acquired Fund in the ordinary course without regard to this Plan; any excess expenses shall be borne by the Adviser, at the time such Tax returns and Forms 1099 are prepared.

11.1 The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, agrees that it has not made any representation, warranty and/ or covenant regarding the Reorganizations other than those set forth herein, and that this Plan constitutes the entire agreement between the parties.

11.2 Except as specified in the next sentence set forth in this paragraph 11.2, the representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Plan or in any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Plan, shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and neither the Trust, Acquiring Fund, nor Acquired Fund, nor any of their officers, trustees, agents or shareholders shall have any liability with respect to such representations or warranties after the Closing Date. The covenants to be performed after the Closing Date shall continue in effect beyond the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

12.1 This Plan may be terminated at any time (whether before or after adoption thereof by the shareholders of the Tax-Exempt Fund) by the consent of the Trust. In addition, the Trust may at its option terminate this Plan on behalf of any Fund at or before the Closing Date due to:

(a) A breach of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained herein to be performed at or before the Closing Date, if not cured within 30 days;

(b) A condition herein expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party that has not been met and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met; or

(c) A determination by the Board of Trustees that the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein is not in the best interest of a Fund.

12.2 In the event of any such termination, this Plan shall become void and have no further effect, and there shall be no liability for damages on the part of Acquiring Fund, Acquired Fund, the Trust, or persons who are their agents, shareholders, Trustees or officers. The failure of any Acquired Fund to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Plan will not affect the consummation of the Reorganization of any other Acquired Fund.

13.1 This Plan may be amended, modified, or supplemented in such manner as may be approved in writing by the officers of the Trust as specifically authorized by the Board of Trustees; provided, however, that following the meeting of shareholders called by the Tax-Exempt Fund pursuant to paragraph 5.2 of this Plan, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued to Tax-Exempt Fund shareholders under this Plan to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval; and further provided, that the officers of the Trust may change the Valuation Time and Closing Date through a written amendment to this Plan without specific additional authorization by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.

14.1 The Article and paragraph headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Plan.

14.2 This Plan may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

14.3 This Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

14.4 This Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but, except as provided in this paragraph, no assignment or transfer hereof or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made by any party without the written consent of the other party. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm, or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Plan.

14.5 It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Funds shall not be binding upon any of the Trust’s Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Funds as provided in the Trust Instrument. No other series of the Trust shall be liable with respect to this Plan or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The Trust, Acquiring Fund and Acquired Fund shall not seek satisfaction of any obligation or liability from shareholders of any other Fund, or the trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Plan have been authorized by the Trustees of the Trust and signed by authorized officers of the Trust acting as such.

Neither the authorization of such Trustees nor the execution and delivery by such officers shall be deemed to have been made by any of them individually or to impose any liability on any of them personally, but shall bind only the trust property of the Funds as provided in the Trust Instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Plan, all as of the date first written above.
