WHEREAS, the Purchaser desires to transfer and assign irrevocably to the Trustee, and the Trustee desires to accept such transfer and assignment of, the right to vote and consent for the Purchaser in connection with all of its voting and consent rights and responsibilities, as set forth in Section 1 below, as a Beneficial Owner of (i) MFP Shares acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (such MFP Shares, when owned by the Purchaser, the "Subject Shares") and (ii) any additional shares of MFP Shares or preferred shares of any class or series of the Fund having voting powers of which an Affiliate of PFC is the Beneficial Owner or that the Purchaser becomes the Beneficial Owner of during the term of this Agreement (any such additional preferred shares of the Fund having voting powers being "Additional Shares" and when so acquired will become a part of the "Subject Shares" covered by this Agreement);

WHEREAS, the Voting Consultant and the Trustee are Independent of the Purchaser; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth in writing their understandings and agreements.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending legally and equitably to be bound, hereby agree as follows:

The Purchaser hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Trustee, and the Trustee hereby accepts the transfer and assignment of, the right to vote and consent for the Purchaser in connection with all of its voting and consent rights and responsibilities as Beneficial Owner of the Subject Shares with respect to the following matters (collectively, the "Voting Matters"):

(a) the election of the two members of the Board of Trustees for which holders of MFP Shares are exclusively entitled to vote under Section 18(a)(2)(C) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and all other rights given to holders of MFP Shares with respect to the election of the Board of Trustees of the Fund;

(b) the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end management company to an open-end management company, or to change the Fund's classification from diversified to non-diversified, each pursuant to Section 13(a)(1) of the 1940 Act (any of the foregoing, a "Conversion"), together with any additional voting or consent right under the Statement and the Purchase Agreement that relates solely to any action or amendment to the Statement that is so closely related to the Conversion that it would be impossible to give effect to the Conversion without implicating such additional voting or consent right; provided that any such additional voting or consent right shall not include any voting or consent right related to satisfying any additional term, condition or agreement which the Conversion is conditioned upon or subject to;

(c) the deviation from a policy in respect of concentration of investments in any particular industry or group of industries as recited in the Fund's registration statement, pursuant to Section 13(a)(3) of the 1940 Act (a "Deviation"), together with any additional voting or consent right under the Statement and the Purchase Agreement that relates solely to any action or amendment to the Statement that is so closely related to the Deviation that it would be impossible to give effect to the Deviation without implicating such additional voting or consent right; provided that any such additional voting or consent right shall not include any voting or consent right related to satisfying any additional term, condition or agreement which the Deviation is conditioned upon or subject to;

(d) borrowing money, issuing senior securities, underwriting securities issued by other Persons, purchasing or selling real estate or commodities or making loans to other Persons other than in accordance with the recitals of policy with respect thereto in the Fund's registration statement, pursuant to Section 13(a)(2) of the 1940 Act (any of the foregoing, a "Policy Change"), together with any additional voting or consent right under the Statement and the Purchase Agreement that relates solely to any action or amendment to the Statement that is so closely related to the Policy Change that it would be impossible to give effect to the Policy Change without implicating such additional voting or consent right; provided that any such additional voting or consent right shall not include any voting or consent right related to satisfying any additional term, condition or agreement which the Policy Change is conditioned upon or subject to; and

(e) any matters described in 12 C.F.R. Section 225.2(q)(1).

In order to effect the transfer of voting and consent rights with respect to the Voting Matters, PFC hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes, and will cause each of its Affiliates who are Beneficial Owners of any Subject Shares to irrevocably appoint and constitute, the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact and agrees, and agrees to cause each of such Affiliates, to grant the Trustee one or more irrevocable proxies with respect to the Voting Matters and further agrees to renew any such proxies that may lapse by their terms while the Subject Shares are still subject to this Voting Trust Agreement.

PFC will retain all other voting rights under the Related Documents and PFC, its Affiliates or designee will also be the registered owner of the MFP Shares.  If any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Subject Shares is paid, such dividend or distribution will be paid directly to PFC or its Affiliate or designee owning such Subject Shares; provided, that, any Additional Shares will become part of the Subject Shares covered by this Agreement.

"Affiliate" means, with respect to a Person, (i) any other Person who, directly or indirectly, is in control of, or controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person or (ii) any other Person who is a director, officer, employee or general partner (a) of such Person, (b) of any majority-owned subsidiary or parent company of such Person or (c) of any Person described in clause (i) above.  For the purposes of this definition, "control" of a Person shall mean (x) as defined for purposes of the 1940 Act and regulations thereunder, the power, direct or indirect, (A) to vote more than 25% of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or (B) to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise or (y) as defined for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 and regulations thereunder, (a) directly or indirectly owning, controlling, or holding with power to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of such Person, (b) controlling in any manner the election of a majority of directors or trustees of such Person, or (c) having the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of such Person.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Affiliate" shall include a tender option bond trust (or similar investment vehicle) of which the Purchaser and/or one or more of its Affiliates collectively own a majority of the residual interests.

"Beneficial Owner" means, any Person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares (i) voting power which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, securities and/or (ii) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, securities.

"Board of Trustees" means the Board of Trustees of the Fund or any duly authorized committee thereof.

"Independent" means, as to any Person, any other Person who (i) does not have and is not committed to acquire any material direct or any material indirect financial interest in such Person, (ii) is not connected with such Person as an officer, employee, promoter, underwriter, partner, director or Person performing similar functions and (iii) is not otherwise subject to the undue influence or control of such other Person.  For purposes of this definition, no Person will fail to be Independent solely because such Person acts as a voting consultant or trustee in respect of property owned by another Person or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement.  With respect to item (i) above, "material direct or material indirect financial interest" means, (1) as to any Person, owning directly or indirectly (as principal for such Person's own account) at least 5% of any class of the outstanding equity or debt securities issued by any other Person or (2) with respect to a Person (the "Investor") owning directly or indirectly (as principal for the Investor's own account) outstanding equity or debt securities of any other Person in an amount at least equal to 5% of the total consolidated shareholders equity of the Investor (measured in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles).

"Person" means and includes an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated association, a joint venture or other entity or a government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

"Statement" means the Fund's Statement Establishing and Fixing the Rights and Preferences of Series B MuniFund Preferred Shares, as amended from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof.

Each capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning provided therefor (including by incorporation by reference) in the Statement.

The Purchaser shall have the right to sell or otherwise transfer the Subject Shares at any time in its sole discretion, subject to the transfer restrictions contained in Section 2.1 of the Purchase Agreement.  Upon the transfer of the Subject Shares by the Purchaser to any third party (other than a transfer to an Affiliate of the Purchaser in which case such Subject Shares shall remain subject to this Agreement) such Subject Shares shall no longer be subject to this Agreement unless otherwise notified to the contrary by the Purchaser to the other parties hereto.

(a) Rights And Powers Of Trustee.  With respect to Subject Shares where the Purchaser is the Beneficial Owner, the Trustee shall, in person or by nominees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, or proxies, have the right and the obligation to exercise its discretion with respect to all Voting Matters requiring holders of MFP Shares to vote or consent with respect to and including voting or consenting to any corporate or shareholder action of any kind whatsoever, subject to the terms of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall be obligated to vote any Voting Matter in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Liability Of Trustee.  In exercising the rights and powers of the Trustee, the Trustee will exercise any rights and powers in the Trustee's best judgment; provided, however, the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by such Trustee or the Trustee's agent, except for liability arising from the Trustee's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or other security for the discharge of the Trustee's duties.

(c) Resignation of and Successor Trustee.  The Trustee may at any time resign the Trustee's position as Trustee by delivering a resignation in writing to the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant to become effective 90 days after the date of such delivery, but in any event such notice shall not become effective prior to the acceptance of a successor Trustee.  The Trustee shall nominate a successor Trustee acceptable to the Purchaser, who shall have all rights, powers and obligations of the resigning Trustee as set forth in this Agreement, and all rights, powers and obligations of the resigning Trustee hereunder shall immediately terminate upon the acceptance by the successor Trustee of such nomination and the execution of this Agreement by the successor Trustee as "Trustee" hereunder.  No such resignation shall become effective until such time as a successor Trustee has been appointed and such appointment has been accepted.  The fact that any Trustee has resigned such Trustee's position as a Trustee shall not act, or be construed to act, as a release of any Subject Shares from the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Removal.  The Trustee may be removed by the Purchaser upon 30 days prior written notice upon either (i) a material breach by the Trustee of its obligations hereunder or (ii) any action or inaction of the Trustee which constitutes bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Independent.  The Trustee represents that it is Independent of PFC.

(a) Liability Of Voting Consultant.  In providing its voting recommendations on Voting Matters hereunder, the Voting Consultant will provide such recommendations in the Voting Consultant's best judgment with respect to the Voting Matters for the MFP Shares; provided, however, the Voting Consultant shall not be liable for any action taken by such Voting Consultant or the Voting Consultant's agent, except for liability arising from the Voting Consultant's bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Voting Consultant's maximum liability shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the total amounts of the fees the Voting Consultant receives from the Purchaser under the Master Agreement (as defined in Section 5(d)) in any one year period for any and all claims made within that one year period; provided that if a breach of Section 5(e) is determined to have occurred, the sole remedy shall be the immediate removal of the Voting Consultant by the Purchaser in the Purchaser's sole discretion and no monetary damages shall be due or payable.  In addition, the Voting Consultant shall not be liable for any action taken by the Trustee contrary to the recommendations provided by the Voting Consultant.

(b) Resignation of and Successor Voting Consultant.  The Voting Consultant may at any time resign the Voting Consultant's position as Voting Consultant by delivering a resignation in writing to the Purchaser and to the Trustee to become effective 90 days after the date of such delivery.  Upon receipt of the Voting Consultant's written resignation, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Voting Consultant which has been consented to by the Trustee, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  If the Voting Consultant shall resign but a successor Voting Consultant has not assumed all of the Voting Consultant's duties and obligations within 90 days of such resignation, the Voting Consultant may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Voting Consultant.  No such resignation shall become effective until such time as a successor Voting Consultant has been appointed and such appointment has been accepted.

(c) Removal.  The Voting Consultant may be removed by the Purchaser upon 30 days prior written notice upon either (i) a material breach by the Voting Consultant of its obligations hereunder or (ii) any action or inaction of the Voting Consultant which constitutes bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Contract.  A separate contract, that certain Master Services Agreement No. (24828001-001) by and between the Voting Consultant and the Purchaser, as may be amended from time to time with the prior written consent of the parties thereto (the "Master Agreement"), sets forth additional details, including fees, pursuant to which the Voting Consultant is providing the services contemplated hereunder.

(e) Independent.  The Voting Consultant represents that it is Independent of PFC; provided, however, if the Voting Consultant becomes aware that the Voting Consultant is no longer Independent of the Purchaser, the Voting Consultant shall promptly, and in no event later than two Business Days after becoming aware, notify the Purchaser and shall abstain from making voting recommendations during any period of time during which the Voting Consultant is not Independent of the Purchaser.  If the Voting Consultant notifies the Purchaser that it is no longer Independent of the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to identify and appoint a replacement voting consultant.

On any and each date that the Purchaser sells or otherwise transfers any Subject Shares to another Beneficial Owner, the Purchaser shall promptly notify the Trustee of such occurrence and the number of MFP Shares that the Purchaser then owns.

The Purchaser shall notify the Trustee and the Voting Consultant as soon as possible, and in any event, not later than five Business Days after receipt of notice that a vote of the holders of MFP Shares has been requested or permitted on any Voting Matter and the Purchaser shall, within such same time frame, forward any information sent to the Purchaser in connection with such vote to the Trustee and the Voting Consultant by Electronic Means.

The Voting Consultant shall analyze and provide a voting or consent recommendation to the Trustee with respect to each Voting Matter in respect of the Subject Shares.  The Trustee is obligated to act in accordance with the voting or consent recommendation made by the Voting Consultant in its voting or consent direction to the Purchaser.  In all Voting Matters, the Trustee shall use the proxies granted to it by the Purchaser to vote or consent the Subject Shares in accordance with the voting or consent recommendation made by the Voting Consultant and the Purchaser shall not exercise any voting or consent rights in such matters.

If the Voting Consultant fails to provide a voting or consent recommendation to the Trustee on or prior to the deadline for submission of such vote or consent, the Trustee shall not provide a vote or consent on behalf of the Purchaser on such deadline and shall provide notice of the failure to receive a voting or consent recommendation to the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall not retain the right to vote or consent on any Voting Matters for which the Trustee does not provide a vote or consent on behalf of the Purchaser.

(a) Of the Trustee and the Voting Consultant.  The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Trustee and the Voting Consultant and such Trustee's and such Voting Consultant's agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, suits, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever in connection with or growing out of (i) with respect to the Trustee, the administration of the voting trust created by this Agreement or (ii) with respect to the Trustee and the Voting Consultant, the exercise of any powers or the performance of any duties by the Trustee or the Voting Consultant as herein provided or contemplated, including, without limitation, any action taken or omitted to be taken, except, with respect to the Trustee and the Voting Consultant separately, such as may arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee or the Voting Consultant, respectively.  In no event shall the Purchaser be liable for special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.

(b) Of the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant.  The Trustee shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant and the Purchaser's and the Voting Consultant's agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, suits, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed, incurred or asserted against the Purchaser or the Voting Consultant in connection with the willful misconduct or negligence of the Trustee in connection with the exercise of any powers or the performance of any duties by the Trustee as herein provided or contemplated, including, without limitation, any action taken or omitted to be taken, except, with respect to the Purchaser and the Voting Consultant separately, such as may arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Purchaser or the Voting Consultant, respectively.  In no event shall the Trustee be liable for special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.

(c) Of the Purchaser and the Trustee.  The Voting Consultant shall indemnify and hold the Purchaser and the Trustee and the Purchaser's and the Trustee's agents harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, taxes, claims, actions, suits, reasonable costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed, incurred or asserted against the Purchaser or the Trustee in connection with the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Voting Consultant in connection with the exercise of any powers or the performance of any duties by the Voting Consultant as herein provided or contemplated, including, without limitation, any action taken or omitted to be taken, except, with respect to the Purchaser and the Trustee separately, such as may arise from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Purchaser or the Trustee, respectively; provided, however, that the Voting Consultant's maximum liability under this Section 8(c) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed the total amount of the fees the Voting Consultant receives from the Purchaser under the Master Agreement in any one year period for any and all claims made within that one year period.  In no event shall the Voting Consultant be liable for special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.

(d) Conditions to Indemnification.  An indemnified party must give the other party(ies) prompt written notice of any claim and allow the indemnifying party to defend or settle the claim as a condition to indemnification.  No settlement shall bind any party without such party's written consent.

(a) This Agreement and the voting trust created hereby shall terminate with respect to all of the Subject Shares (i) at the option of PFC, upon the non-payment of dividends on the MFP Shares for two years, (ii) at the option of PFC, upon PFC and its Affiliates owning less than 20% of the Outstanding MFP Shares or (iii) as provided with respect to certain transfers of Subject Shares in Section 3 above.

(b) Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Subject Shares, the voting trust created pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall cease to have any effect with respect to the Subject Shares, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Subject Shares.

The Trustee shall be entitled to the compensation set forth in the letter agreement between the Purchaser and the Trustee dated as of December 30, 2019, as may be amended from time to time.

The Voting Consultant shall be entitled to the compensation pursuant to the Master Agreement.

It is the intention of the parties hereto that for all federal, state and local income and other tax purposes the Purchaser or the applicable Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, shall be treated as the owner of the Subject Shares and, except as otherwise required by law, no party shall take a contrary position in any tax return or report or otherwise act in a contrary manner.

All notices, requests and other communications to the Purchaser, the Trustee or the Voting Consultant shall be in writing (including telecopy, electronic mail or similar writing), except in the case of notices and other communications permitted to be given by telephone, and shall be given to such party at its address or telecopy number or email address set forth below or to such other Person and/or such other address or telecopy number or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other party.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, five days after such communication is deposited in the mail, return receipt requested, addressed as aforesaid, or (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section.  The notice address for each party is specified below:

The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had access to and has reviewed all information, documents and records that the Purchaser has deemed necessary in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to an investment in the MFP Shares.  The Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask representatives of the Fund certain questions and request certain additional information regarding the terms and conditions of such investment and the finances, operations, business and prospects of the Fund and has had any and all such questions and requests answered to the Purchaser’s satisfaction; and the Purchaser understands the risks and other considerations relating to such investment.

The Purchaser acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for its own due diligence investigation and its own investment decision relating to the MFP Shares.  The Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Memorandum, or any other materials presented to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the MFP Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice from the Fund.  The Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase and sale of the MFP Shares.

6.13	Other Portfolio Investment Covenants

(a)

For so long as the Fund fails to provide the information required under Sections 6.1(o) and 6.1(p), the Purchaser may calculate, for purposes of Section 2.2(c) of the Variable Rate Mode Supplement, the Effective Leverage Ratio using the most recently received information required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(o) and 6.1(p) and the Market Values of securities determined by the third-party pricing service that provided such Market Values to the Fund on the most recent date that information was properly provided by the Fund pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.1(o) and 6.1(p).  The Effective Leverage Ratio as and if so calculated by the Purchaser in such instances shall be binding on the Fund.  If required based on such calculations, the Fund shall restore the Effective Leverage Ratio as provided in Section 2.3(c)(ii) of the Variable Rate Mode Supplement.

In connection with calculating the Effective Leverage Ratio, the Fund’s total assets and accrued liabilities shall reflect the positive or negative net obligations of the Fund under each Derivative Contract determined in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supplement, (a) if the Fund’s Effective Leverage Ratio exceeds 46% as of the close of business on any Business Day, the Fund shall cause its Effective Leverage Ratio to be 46% or lower within 30 calendar days following such Business Day, and (b) if the Fund’s Effective Leverage Ratio exceeds 48% as of the close of business on any Business Day, the Fund shall cause its Effective Leverage Ratio to be 48% or lower within seven Business Days following such Business Day.  In each case, the Fund shall not be in breach of this Agreement if it restores the Effective Leverage Ratio to at or below the respective maximum level within the applicable time period.

(b)

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Fund shall maintain the Minimum VRM Asset Coverage and the 225% VRM Asset Coverage as of the close of business on each Business Day.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supplement, if the Fund does not maintain the Minimum VRM Asset Coverage as of the close of business on any Business Day, the Fund shall restore Minimum VRM Asset Coverage within ten Business Days following such Business Day. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Supplement, if the Fund does not maintain 225% VRM Asset Coverage as of the close of business on any Business Day, the Fund shall restore 225% VRM Asset Coverage within 45 calendar days following such Business Day.  In each case, the Fund shall not be in breach of this Agreement if it restores the Asset Coverage to at or above the respective minimum level within the applicable time period.

(c)

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Fund shall maintain the Minimum ARAC as of the close of business on each Minimum ARAC Compliance Date.  If the Fund does not maintain the Minimum ARAC as of the close of business on any Minimum ARAC Compliance Date, the Fund shall restore the Minimum ARAC by the relevant Minimum ARAC Cure Date.  The Fund shall not be in breach of this Agreement if it cures a failure to maintain the Minimum ARAC as of the close of business on any Minimum ARAC Compliance Date by the relevant Minimum ARAC Cure Date.  The Fund agrees to calculate Minimum ARAC by the fifth Business Day (or by such later date as the Purchaser may agree (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld)) following each Minimum ARAC Compliance Date (each, a “Minimum ARAC Calculation Date”).

(d)	Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Fund may not purchase defaulted securities or securities of an issuer that is in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings if, immediately prior to purchasing such securities, the Effective Leverage Ratio of the Fund exceeds 42%.

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Fund shall not (i) (x) deposit assets of the Fund into a new tender option bond trust (or similar investment vehicle) or deposit additional assets of the Fund into an existing tender option bond trust (or similar investment vehicle), in each case providing for the issuance of floating rate trust certificates and acquire residual floating rate trust certificates issued by any such tender option bond trust (or similar investment vehicle) or (y) enter into reverse repurchase agreements, or (ii) issue additional “senior securities” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Leverage Increase Event”), if, after giving effect to the Leverage Increase Event, the Effective Leverage Ratio of the Fund would exceed 40%, as of the date of the applicable Leverage Increase Event.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Statement or the Supplement, unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, “Liquidity Account Investments” shall mean any Deposit Security or any other security or investment owned by the Fund that is rated at least B- or the equivalent rating by at least one NRSRO then rating such security or investment, or, if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality by the Sub-Adviser; provided that at least 50% by Market Value of such other securities or investments shall be rated at least BB- or the equivalent rating by at least one NRSRO then rating such security or investment, or, if unrated, judged to be of comparable quality by the Sub-Adviser.

(g)

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Fund shall not acquire equity securities of an “investment company” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “acquired company”), if, immediately after giving effect to such acquisition, (i) more than 5% of the total assets of the Fund would be invested in equity securities of the acquired company or (ii) more than 10% of the total assets of the Fund would be invested in equity securities of the acquired company and other investment companies (as defined above).

6.14	Tender and Paying Agent

The Fund shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to engage at all times a Tender and Paying Agent to perform the duties to be performed by the Tender and Paying Agent specified herein and in the Variable Rate Mode Supplement.

6.15	Cooperation in the Sale of the MFP Shares

The Fund will comply with reasonable due diligence requests from the Purchaser in connection with any proposed sale by the Purchaser of the MFP Shares in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act and otherwise permitted by this Agreement, provided that (i) the Fund need not comply with any such request more than twice in any period of twelve consecutive months, and (ii) any prospective purchaser of the MFP Shares from the Purchaser shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially to the effect of Section 7.13 hereof prior to receiving any due diligence materials provided pursuant to such due diligence request.

All information, reports and other papers, documentation and data with respect to the Fund furnished to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.15 shall be, at the time the same are so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and, when considered with all other material delivered to the Purchaser under this Agreement or made available pursuant to the Due Diligence Request, will not contain untrue statements of material facts or omit to state material facts necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6.16	Use of Proceeds

The Fund shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the MFP Shares for investment in accordance with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

6.17	Securities Depository

The Fund agrees to use its best efforts to maintain settlement of the MFP Shares in global book entry form through the Securities Depository or such other clearance system acceptable to the Purchaser.

6.18	Future Agreements

7.2	No Waivers

(a)

The obligations of the Fund hereunder shall not in any way be modified or limited by reference to any other document, instrument or agreement (including, without limitation, the MFP Shares or any other Related Document).  The rights of the Purchaser hereunder are separate from and in addition to any rights that any Holder or Beneficial Owner of any MFP Share may have under the terms of such MFP Share or any other Related Document or otherwise.

(b)

No failure or delay by the Fund or the Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the MFP Shares shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No failure or delay by the Fund or the Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the MFP Shares or any other Related Document shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Fund or the Purchaser hereunder or shall operate as a limitation or waiver thereof.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

7.3	Expenses and Indemnification

(a)

The Fund shall upon demand either, as the Purchaser may require, pay in the first instance or reimburse the Purchaser (to the extent that payments for the following items are not made under the other provisions hereof) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and costs of outside counsel, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking, and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Agreement.  The Fund shall not be responsible under this Section 7.3(a) for the fees and costs of more than one law firm in any one jurisdiction with respect to any one proceeding or set of related proceedings for the Purchaser, unless the Purchaser shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Fund.

(b)

The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Person of the Purchaser from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) that are related to or arise out of (A) any material misstatements or any material statements omitted to be made in the Memorandum (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (B) any claim by any third party relating to the offering or sale of the MFP Shares by the Fund or the holding of the MFP Shares by the Purchaser (x) that the Purchaser aided and abetted a breach of a fiduciary duty by the Fund or any director or officer of the Fund or (y) arising from any act by the Fund or any director or officer of the Fund (excluding in any such case clauses (A) or (B), claims, losses, liabilities or expenses arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c)

The indemnifying party also agrees that if any indemnification sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless the Indemnified Persons in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), then the indemnifying party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, damages and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Fund on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand from the actual or proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Fund on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in any event the aggregate contribution of the Purchaser and its Indemnified Persons to all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses with respect to which contributions are available hereunder will not exceed the amount of dividends actually received by the Purchaser from the Fund pursuant to the proposed transactions giving rise to this Agreement.  For purposes of determining the relative benefits to the Fund on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other, under the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement, such benefits shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Fund pursuant to the transactions, whether or not consummated bears to (ii) the dividends and Optional Redemption Premium, if any, paid by the Fund to the Purchaser in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement.  The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the actions taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any misstatement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact) relates to information supplied by the Fund on the one hand, or the Purchaser on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, misstatement or alleged omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  No Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.

(d)

If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation is commenced, as to which an Indemnified Person proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify the indemnifying party with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Person to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify).  The indemnifying party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.  The Indemnified Person shall have the right to counsel of its own choice to represent it, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the indemnifying party has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there exist actual or potential conflicting interests between the indemnifying party and such Indemnified Person, including situations in which one or more legal defenses may be available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Persons of such other party; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the indemnifying party and any counsel designated by the indemnifying party.

Each party further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the other party (the consent of a party shall not be required to the extent such party is neither requesting indemnification nor being requested to provide indemnification), settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Fund (if such settlement, compromise or consent is agreed to by the Purchaser or another Indemnified Person) or the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Person (if such settlement, compromise or consent is agreed to by the Fund) from all liability and obligations arising therefrom.  The Fund further agrees that neither the Purchaser, nor any of its affiliates, or any directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives or control persons of the Purchaser or any of its affiliates, shall have any liability to the Fund arising out of or in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement except for such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they have resulted from the Purchaser’s or its affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.  No Indemnified Person shall be responsible or liable to the indemnifying party or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement.
