The principal place of business of the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Funds is 2344 Spruce Street, Suite A, Boulder, Colorado 80302.

WHEREAS, the Acquiring Fund, upon approval by its stockholders, will be authorized to issue the Acquiring Fund Shares;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE SELLING FUNDS IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND THE ASSUMPTION OF THE SELLING FUNDS’ LIABILITIES AND TERMINATION AND LIQUIDATION OF THE SELLING FUNDS

1.1 THE EXCHANGE. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and on the basis of the representations and warranties contained herein, each Selling Fund agrees to transfer all of its assets, as set forth in Section 1.2, to the Acquiring Fund. In exchange, the Acquiring Fund agrees: (i) to deliver to the respective Selling Fund the number of Acquiring Fund Shares computed in the manner set forth in Section 2.3; and (ii) to assume all of the liabilities of the respective Selling Fund, as set forth in Section 1.3. Such transactions shall take place at the closing provided for in Section 3.1 (the “Closing”).

1.2 ASSETS TO BE TRANSFERRED. Each Selling Fund shall transfer all of its assets to the Acquiring Fund, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities, interests in futures and dividends or interest receivables, owned by the Selling Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Selling Fund on the Closing Date, as such term is defined in Section 3.1.

1.3 LIABILITIES TO BE ASSUMED. Each Selling Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its known liabilities and obligations to the extent possible before the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any liabilities not so discharged shall be assumed by the Acquiring Fund, which assumed liabilities shall include all of the respective Selling 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, whether or not determinable at the Closing Date, and whether or not specifically referred to in this Agreement.

1.4 LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION. On or as soon after the Closing Date as is possible (the “Liquidation Date”): (a) each Selling Fund will distribute in complete liquidation of the Selling Fund, pro rata by class to its stockholders of record, determined as of the close of business on the Valuation Date (as defined in Section 2.1) (the “Selling Fund Stockholders”), all of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Selling Fund pursuant to Section 1.1; and (b) the Selling Fund will thereupon proceed to dissolve and terminate as set forth in Section 1.8 below. Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of Acquiring Fund Shares credited to the account of the respective Selling Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the name of the Selling Fund Stockholders, and representing the respective pro rata number of Acquiring Fund Shares due such stockholders. All issued and outstanding shares of the Selling Fund will simultaneously be canceled on the books of the Selling Fund. The Acquiring Fund shall not issue certificates representing Acquiring Fund Shares in connection with such transfer.

1.5 OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on the books of the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent. Shares of the Acquiring Fund will be issued at the Closing to the respective Selling Fund, in an amount computed in the manner set forth in Section 2.3, to be distributed to the respective Selling Fund Stockholders.

1.6 STATE FILINGS. Prior to the Closing Date, each Selling Fund shall make any filings with the State of Maryland that may be required under the laws of the State of Maryland in connection with this Agreement.

1.7 TRANSFER TAXES. Any transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of Acquiring Fund Shares in a name other than the registered holder of the Selling Fund shares on the books of the Selling 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.

1.8 TERMINATION. Each Selling Fund shall be dissolved, terminated and have its affairs wound up in accordance with Maryland state law, promptly following the Closing Date and the making of all distributions pursuant to Section 1.4.

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

1.10 DIVIDEND. In order for the Selling Funds to comply with Section 852(a)(1) of the Code and to avoid having any investment company taxable income or net capital gain (as defined in Sections 852(b)(2) and 1222(11) of the Code, respectively) in the short taxable year ending with its dissolution, each Selling Fund will on or before the Valuation Date (a) declare a dividend in an amount large enough so that it will have declared dividends of substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for such taxable year (determined without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and (b) distribute such dividend.

ARTICLE II
VALUATION

2.1 VALUATION OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. The value of each Selling Fund’s net assets shall be the value of all the Selling Fund’s assets as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Closing Date (such time and date being hereinafter called the “Valuation Date”), less the amount of all the Selling Fund’s liabilities. The value of the Selling Fund’s assets and liabilities shall be determined by using the valuation procedures adopted by the Selling Fund or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

2.2 VALUATION OF SHARES. The net asset value per Acquiring Fund Share shall be computed as of the Valuation Date, using the valuation procedures adopted by the particular Selling Fund 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 in exchange a Selling Fund’s net assets, shall be determined by dividing the value of the respective

Selling Fund’s net assets determined in accordance with Section 2.1 by the net asset value per Acquiring Fund Share determined in accordance with Section 2.2. No fractional Acquiring Fund Shares will be issued to an Acquired Fund’s stockholders and, in lieu of such fractional shares, an Acquired Fund’s stockholder will receive cash. The aggregate net asset value of Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Selling Fund in a Reorganization will equal, as of the Valuation Date, the aggregate net asset value of the Selling Fund’s common shares held by Selling Fund Stockholders as of such time. In the event there are fractional Acquiring Fund Shares due to Selling Fund Stockholders on the Closing Date after a Selling Fund’s assets have been exchanged for Acquiring Fund Shares, the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent will aggregate such fractional shares and sell the resulting whole on the exchange on which such shares are listed for the account of all such Selling Fund Stockholders, and each such Selling Fund Stockholder will be entitled to a pro rata share of the proceeds from such sale. With respect to the aggregation and sale of fractional shares, the Acquiring Fund’s transfer agent will act directly on behalf of the Selling Fund Stockholders entitled to receive fractional shares and will accumulate such fractional shares, sell the shares and distribute the cash proceeds net of brokerage commissions, if any, directly to Selling Fund Stockholders entitled to receive the fractional shares (without interest and subject to withholding taxes).

2.4 EFFECT OF SUSPENSION IN TRADING. In the event that on the Valuation Date, either: (a) the NYSE or primary exchange on which the portfolio securities of the Acquiring Fund or the Selling Funds 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 the Acquiring Fund or the Selling Funds is impracticable, the Valuation Date shall be postponed until the first business day after the day when trading is fully resumed and reporting is restored.

2.5 COMPUTATIONS OF NET ASSETS. All computations of net asset value shall be made by or under the direction of ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) in accordance with its regular practice as co-administrator of the Funds.

ARTICLE III
CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE

3.1 CLOSING DATE. The Closing shall occur on March 20, 2015 or such other date as the parties may agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Unless otherwise provided, all acts taking place at the Closing shall be deemed to take place immediately after the close of regular trading on the Valuation Date. The Closing shall be held at 2344 Spruce Street, Suite A, Boulder, Colorado 80302, or at such other time and/or place as the parties may agree.

3.2 CUSTODIAN’S CERTIFICATE. Each Selling Fund shall cause Bank of New York Mellon, as custodian for the Selling Funds (the “Custodian”), to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that: (a) the respective Selling Fund’s portfolio securities, cash, and any other assets shall have been delivered in proper form to the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date; and (b) all necessary taxes including all applicable U.S. federal and state stock transfer stamps, if any, have been paid, or provisions for payment have

been made, in conjunction with the delivery of portfolio securities by the Selling Fund. The Selling Fund’s portfolio securities represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be presented by the Custodian for the Selling Fund to the custodian for the Acquiring Fund for examination no later than five (5) business days preceding the Closing Date and transferred and delivered by the Selling Fund as of the Closing Date for the account of the Acquiring Fund, duly endorsed in proper form for the transfer in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof.

3.3 TRANSFER AGENT’S CERTIFICATE.

(a) Each Selling Fund shall cause Computershare Shareowner Services, as transfer agent for the Selling Funds, to deliver to the Acquiring Fund at the Closing a certificate of an authorized officer stating that its records contain the names and addresses of the respective Selling Fund Stockholders, and the number, class and percentage ownership of outstanding shares owned by each such stockholder immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) The Acquiring Fund shall issue and deliver or cause Computershare Shareowner Services, its transfer agent, to issue and deliver to each Selling Fund a confirmation evidencing the Acquiring Fund Shares to be credited on the Closing Date to the Secretary of the Selling Fund or provide evidence satisfactory to the Selling Fund that such Acquiring Fund Shares have been credited to the Selling Fund’s account on the books of the Acquiring Fund.

3.4 DELIVERY OF ADDITIONAL ITEMS. At the Closing, 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 to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

No party shall take any action that would, or reasonably would be expected to, result in any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement being or becoming untrue in any material respect.

7.2 Each Selling Fund shall have delivered to the Acquiring Fund a statement of the Selling Fund’s assets and liabilities, together with a list of the Selling Fund’s portfolio securities showing the tax basis of such securities by lot and the holding periods of such securities, as of the Closing Date, certified by the Treasurer of the Selling Fund.

7.3 The Acquiring Fund shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion from Arent Fox LLP, dated as of the Closing Date, with respect to each Selling Fund, substantially in the form of Schedule C. Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as Arent Fox LLP may reasonably request of the Funds, and the Selling Funds and the Acquiring Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations.

7.4 As of the Closing Date, the assets of the Selling Funds to be acquired by the Acquiring Fund will include no assets which the Acquiring Fund identifies to the particular Selling Fund as being unsuitable for the Acquiring Fund to acquire by reason of limitations in the Acquiring Fund’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or of investment restrictions disclosed in the Registration Statement.

ARTICLE VIII
FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

The obligations of each Fund shall also be subject to the following:

8.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein, with respect to each Fund, shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of such Fund in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of such Fund’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as may be amended or restated from time to time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 8.1.

8.2 The Acquiring Fund shall have adopted and maintained any and all agreements necessary for the Acquiring Fund’s operation as a closed-end investment company.

8.3 On the Closing Date, the Commission shall not have issued an unfavorable report under Section 25(b) of the 1940 Act, or instituted any proceeding seeking to enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Section 25(c) of the 1940 Act. 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 Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein.

8.4 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.

8.5 The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act, and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued. To the best knowledge of the parties to this Agreement, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act.

8.6 The Selling Funds shall have declared and paid a dividend or dividends and/or other distribution or distributions that, together with all previous such dividends or distributions, shall have the effect of distributing to the stockholders of the Selling Funds substantially all of

the Selling Funds’ investment company taxable income (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and substantially all of its net capital gain (after reduction for any capital loss carryforward and computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) for all taxable years ending on or before the Closing Date.

8.7 The Funds shall have received an opinion of Paul Hastings LLP substantially to the effect that with respect to each Reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

(a) The transfer of all of each Selling Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the respective Selling Fund followed by the pro rata, by class, distribution by the respective Selling Fund of all the Acquiring Fund Shares to the respective Selling Fund Stockholders in complete liquidation of the Selling Fund will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization,” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, with respect to the particular Reorganization.

(b) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of all the assets of the Selling Funds solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Selling Funds, except for (A) any gain or loss that may be recognized on “section 1256 contracts” as defined in section 1256(b) of the Code as a result of the closing of the tax year of the Selling Funds, (B) any gain that may be recognized on the transfer of stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in section 1297(a) of the Code, and (C) any other gain or loss that may be required to be recognized as a result of the closing of the tax year of the Selling Funds.

(c) No gain or loss will be recognized by a Selling Fund upon the transfer of all the Selling Fund’s assets to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the liabilities of the Selling Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of Acquiring Fund Shares to the Selling Fund Stockholders solely in exchange for such stockholders’ shares of the Selling Fund in complete liquidation of the Selling Fund, except for any gain or loss that may be required to be recognized solely as a result of the close of a Selling Fund’s taxable year due to the Reorganization and any gain attributable to the distribution of cash in lieu of fractional shares to the Selling Fund Stockholders.

(d) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Selling Fund Stockholders upon the exchange of their Selling Fund shares solely for Acquiring Fund Shares in the Reorganization, except with respect to any gain attributable to the receipt of cash by the Selling Fund Stockholders in lieu of fractional shares.

(e) The aggregate basis of the Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Selling Fund Stockholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate basis of the Selling Fund shares exchanged therefor by such stockholder, except with respect to any amounts attributable to the receipt of cash by the Selling Fund Stockholders in lieu of fractional shares. The holding period of Acquiring Fund Shares received by each Selling Fund Stockholder will include the period during which the Selling Fund shares exchanged therefor were held by

such stockholder, provided such Selling Fund shares are held as capital assets at the time of the Reorganization.

(f) The basis of each Selling Fund’s assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the basis of such assets to the Selling Fund immediately before the Reorganization increased by the amount of gain or decreased by the amount of loss, if any, recognized by each Selling Fund upon the transfer. The holding period of the assets of the Selling Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which those assets were held by the Selling Fund (except to the extent that the investment activities of the Acquiring Fund reduce or eliminate such holding period and except for any assets which may be marked to market on the termination of a Selling Fund’s taxable year or on which gain was recognized on the transfer to the Acquiring Fund).

No opinion will be expressed as to (1) the effect of the Reorganization on (A) the taxable year of any Selling Fund stockholder, (B) the Selling Fund or the Acquiring Fund with respect to any stock held in a passive foreign investment company as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code or personal holding company as defined in Section 542 of the Code, (C) any shares held as a result of or attributable to compensation for services by any person, or (2) any other U.S. federal tax issues (except those set forth above) and all state, local or foreign tax issues of any kind.

Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as Paul Hastings LLP may reasonably request of the Funds, and the Selling Funds and the Acquiring Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Acquiring Fund nor the Selling Funds may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 8.7.

8.8 The stockholders of FOFI shall have approved an amendment to such Fund’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement eliminating the right to demand the fair value of their shares upon reorganization of FOFI with and into another affiliated registered investment company.

8.9 The stockholders of BIF shall have approved the elimination of BIF’s fundamental investment policy limiting the ability to invest more than four percent (4%) of total assets in any single issuer.

ARTICLE IX

9.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses will in any event be paid by the party directly incurring such expenses if and to the extent that the payment by another party of such expenses would result in the disqualification of a Selling Fund or the Acquiring Fund, as the case may be, as a RIC.

ARTICLE X
ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES

10.1 The parties agree that no party has made to the other parties any representation, warranty and/or covenant not set forth herein, and that this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between and among the parties.

10.2 The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall not survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder.

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION

11.1 This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Funds and such termination may be effected by the Presidents of the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Funds in writing without further action by their Boards of Directors. In addition, either the Acquiring Fund or any Selling Fund may at its option terminate this Agreement at or before the Closing Date due to:

(a) a material breach by the other party of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained herein to be performed at or before the Closing Date, if not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof;

(b) a condition 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 Directors of the Acquiring Fund or the Board of Directors of a Selling Fund that the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein is not in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund or Selling Fund, respectively.

11.2 In the event of any such termination, in the absence of willful default, there shall be no liability for damages on the part of the Acquiring Fund or a Selling Fund, or their

respective board members and officers. In the event of willful default, all remedies at law or in equity of the party adversely affected shall survive.

ARTICLE XII
AMENDMENTS

12.1 This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the officers of the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Funds as specifically authorized by their Boards of Directors; provided, however, that following the joint special meeting of the Selling Funds’ Stockholders called by the Funds pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued to the Selling Fund Stockholders under this Agreement to the detriment of such stockholders without their further approval.

ARTICLE XIII
HEADINGS; COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW;
ASSIGNMENT; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

13.1 The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

13.5 It is expressly agreed that the obligations of each Fund hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the directors, stockholders, nominees, officers, agents, or employees of the Acquiring Fund or a Selling Fund personally, but shall bind only the property of the respective Fund, as provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the respective Fund. All persons shall look only to the assets of the applicable Fund to satisfy the obligations of such Fund hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the Board of Directors of the Acquiring Fund and the Board of Directors of each Selling Fund and signed by authorized officers of the Acquiring Fund and the Selling Funds, respectively, acting as such. Neither the authorization by such Boards of Directors 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 property of the respective Fund.

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