The Issuer intends to commence the Initial Tender Offer on or about October 18, 2012 with the expiration date anticipated on or about November 16, 2012.

The Issuer further agreed that if more than 25% of the outstanding Shares are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Initial Tender Offer and if the Shares subsequently trade at a market price that represents an average daily discount from NAV of more than 8% during the 20-business day period beginning January 15, 2013 (the “Measurement Period”), it will commence a tender offer no later than fifteen business days following the end of the Measurement Period (the “Conditional Tender Offer”).

WHEREAS, Western is the beneficial owner of 1,704,766.0834 shares of common stock of MGU representing approximately 9.9% of the outstanding shares of common stock of MGU; and

WHEREAS, MGU and Western believe it is in their mutual interests for the Board of Directors of MGU (the “Board”) to take the actions reflected below;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Tenders by MGU

1.1 On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein and subject to performance by Western of its covenants and other obligations hereunder and the other conditions set forth herein:

(a)

MGU hereby covenants and agrees to commence a tender offer (the “Initial Tender Offer”) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, but in any event, no later than October 23, 2012 for up to 20% of the then outstanding common shares of MGU at a price equal to 95% of the net asset value of MGU’s common shares as determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the business day immediately following the day the Initial Tender Offer expires. The Initial Tender Offer shall expire on or before November 21, 2012; provided that the Initial Tender Offer may be extended if required by law (the “Expiration Date”).

(b)

MGU hereby covenants and agrees to commence a tender offer (the “Conditional Tender Offer”) for up to 10% of the then outstanding common shares of MGU at a price equal to 92% of the net asset value of MGU’s common shares as determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the business day immediately following the day the Conditional Tender Offer expires, if (i) more than 25% of the then outstanding common shares of MGU are tendered pursuant to the Initial Tender Offer on the Expiration Date and (ii) during the twenty business day period commencing on January 15, 2013 (the “Conditional Tender Offer Test Period”), the common shares of MGU have traded at a market price that represents an average daily discount from net asset value of more than 8% during the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period (calculated as described in Section 1.2 below). If required to commence a tender offer pursuant to this section, MGU will commence the Conditional Tender Offer no later than fifteen business days following the conclusion of the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period.

Each such tender offer is referred to as a “Tender” and such tender offers are collectively referred to herein as the “Tenders.” Each Tender shall expire twenty business days following its respective date of commencement; provided that each Tender may be extended if required by law. Each Tender shall require odd lot tenders to be subject to the same proration terms as tenders of 100 shares or more.

1.2 MGU will determine the average of MGU’s daily premium or discount to net asset value for each trading day in the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period by computing the percentage difference between the closing net asset value per share and the volume-weighted average price per share (“VWAP”) of MGU on each trading day during the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period and calculating the simple average of all such daily determinations. MGU shall perform such calculations as soon as practicable after the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period in good faith and on a consistent basis using MGU’s published closing net asset value and the VWAP on each day the NYSE is open for trading during the Conditional Tender Offer Test Period. The VWAP shall be the price as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” for MGU.

1.3 Although the Board has committed to the Tenders under the circumstances set forth above, MGU will not commence a Tender or accept tenders of MGU’s common shares during any period when (a) such transactions, if consummated, would: (i) result in the delisting of MGU’s shares from the NYSE or (ii) impair MGU’s status as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (which would make MGU a taxable entity, causing MGU’s income to be taxed at the fund level in addition to the taxation of shareholders who receive distributions from MGU); (b) there is any (i) legal or regulatory action or proceeding instituted or threatened challenging such transaction, (ii) suspension of or limitation on prices for trading securities generally on the NYSE or other national securities exchange(s), or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System National Market System, or (iii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal or state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States or New York State; or (c) the Board determines in good faith that effecting any such transaction could constitute a breach of the Board’s fiduciary duty owed to MGU or its shareholders. MGU will commence any Tender delayed by the pendency of any of the above described events within 30 days of the termination of such delaying event.

1.4 Subject to MGU’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Western agrees to tender 100% of its then-owned common shares of MGU in each Tender.

Exhibit A

Media Release

Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc. Announces Tender Offer Program

NEW YORK, October 17, 2012 Macquarie Global Infrastructure Total Return Fund Inc.

(NYSE: MGU) announced today that the Fund’s Board of Directors has approved a tender offer for up to 20% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock at a price equal to 95% of the net asset value per share, determined as of the business day immediately following the day the tender offer expires.

In addition, upon the prior occurrence of certain events as set out below as well as certain other terms and conditions, the Fund’s Board of Directors has approved a subsequent conditional tender offer for up to 10% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock at a price equal to 92% of the net asset value per share, determined as of the business day immediately following the day the subsequent conditional tender offer expires. The tender offers were approved by the Board in accordance with an agreement between the Fund and Western Investment LLC and certain of its affiliates.

The Fund intends to commence its initial tender offer for up to 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock on or about October 18, 2012 with the expiration date anticipated on or about November 16, 2012.

The Fund’s subsequent conditional tender offer is conditioned on meeting certain threshold requirements related to the amount of shares tendered pursuant to the initial tender offer and the discount at which the Fund’s shares trade from their net asset value during the 20-business day period beginning January 15, 2013 (“measuring period”). If more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares of common stock are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the initial tender offer and if the Fund’s shares have traded at a market price that represents an average daily discount from net asset value of more than 8% during the measuring period, the Fund will commence a subsequent tender offer no later than fifteen business days following the end of the measuring period. The tender offer will be for up to 10% of the then-outstanding common stock at a price equal to 92% of the Fund’s net asset value per share, determined as of the business day immediately following the day the subsequent conditional tender offer expires. The average of the Fund’s daily premium or discount to net asset value for each trading day in the measuring period will be the percentage difference between the net asset value and the volume-weighted average price of the Fund on each trading day during the measuring period.

Further information about the initial tender offer and any subsequent tender offer will be announced via future press releases. The tender offers will be made and stockholders will be notified in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, either by publication or mailing or both.
