(a) Pursuant to an Optional Tender, Beneficial Owners may elect to tender their VRDP Shares (in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples thereof) for purchase at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date designated in the Notice of Tender (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) by a proper delivery of a Notice of Tender to the Tender and Paying Agent. Each Notice of Tender shall be irrevocable (except as provided below) and effective upon receipt and shall:

(i) be delivered by a Beneficial Owner, directly or through its Agent Member, by email transmission (or if email transmission shall be unavailable, by facsimile transmission), to the Tender and Paying Agent as provided in Section 7.02 hereof not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day;

(ii) state the series and the aggregate number of VRDP Shares to be purchased, the CUSIP number of the VRDP Shares to be purchased and the Purchase Date and be in substantially the form of and contain such other information specified in Exhibit A hereto; and

Any Notice of Tender that is delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent by a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to have been received by the Tender and Paying Agent on the next succeeding Business Day, and the Purchase Date shall be adjusted such that the Purchase Date shall be the Business Day next succeeding the date specified as the Purchase Date in the Notice of Tender. The Tender and Paying Agent’s determination as to whether a Notice of Tender has been properly delivered shall be conclusive and binding on a Beneficial Owner and its Agent Member.

(i) Promptly following the occurrence of a Mandatory Tender Event, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Fund, or the Tender and Paying Agent at the direction of the Fund (provided, that the Tender and Paying Agent may require up to two (2) Business Days prior notification by Electronic Means by the Fund), shall provide a Mandatory Tender Notice by Electronic Means to Holders, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider, specifying a Purchase Date for all Outstanding VRDP Shares. Any notice given in respect of a Mandatory Tender under the Certificate of Designation shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holders receive such notice.

(ii) To the extent permitted under applicable confidentiality restrictions, the Liquidity Provider will provide (a) written notice of an Extraordinary Corporate Event and (b) the written notice referred to in clause (y) in the definition of an Extraordinary Corporate Event, to the Fund at least 10 days prior to the scheduled date of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Corporate Event or 10 days prior to the scheduled date of the applicable listed occurrence in clause (i) of such definition, respectively.

In the event that VRDP Shares are issued in certificated form and a Holder of VRDP Shares fails to deliver such VRDP Shares to which a Mandatory Tender relates on or prior to the Purchase Date, the Holder of such VRDP Shares shall not be entitled to any payment (including any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared) other than the Purchase Price of such undelivered VRDP Shares as of the scheduled Purchase Date. Any such undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent shall place stop-transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares. Any moneys held by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of undelivered VRDP Shares shall be held in a separate account by the Tender and Paying Agent, shall not be invested, and shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of such undelivered VRDP Shares. The undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding (except as to entitlement to payment of the Purchase Price), and the Fund will issue to the purchaser replacement VRDP Shares certificates.

preceding the Purchase Date, a Notice of Revocation, a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, to the effect that such Beneficial Owner wishes to revoke its election to tender some or all of the VRDP Shares that were specified in such Notice of Tender to be purchased. Any Notice of Revocation delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent shall be promptly delivered by Electronic Means by the Tender and Paying Agent to the Liquidity Provider and the Remarketing Agent (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Purchase Date.

The Tender and Paying Agent shall contact the Remarketing Agent by Electronic Means by 1:45 p.m., New York City time, if such notification has not been received by such time. The Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver such notification to the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member promptly following receipt from the Remarketing Agent, and in any event by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date. Any such Notice of Revocation shall be effective (without further action on the part of the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member) as a revocation of the Optional Tender of the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as being sought to be revoked, but (except as set forth below) only if and to the extent that the Remarketing Agent has not entered into an agreement to sell such VRDP Shares. A Notice of Revocation shall be effective as to the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as having been revoked less the number of such VRDP Shares in respect of which the Remarketing Agent has so notified the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider that it has entered into an agreement of sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tendered VRDP Shares, if any, that remain unsold on the related Purchase Date shall be allocated by the Remarketing Agent to each Notice of Revocation received in respect of VRDP Shares tendered for purchase on such Purchase Date and not already satisfied in the chronological order in which each such Notice of Revocation was received by the Tender and Paying Agent, and each such Notice of Revocation shall be effective only to the extent of such allocation and availability of unsold VRDP Shares.

(e) In connection with any Special Rate Period designated pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Board, without the vote or consent of any Holder of VRDP Shares but with prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, in the Notice of Special Rate Period relating to the VRDP Shares as delivered to the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider, may provide for optional tender provisions relating solely to such Special Rate Period (“Special Optional Tender Provisions”) whereby the minimum number of days’ notice required for an Optional Tender may exceed seven (7) days as specified in the Special Optional Tender Provisions for such Special Rate Period.

(f) The Tender and Paying Agent shall promptly provide a form of Notice of Revocation to a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member requesting same.

whose appointment has been consented to in writing by the Liquidity Provider (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to use its best efforts to find purchasers for all VRDP Shares properly tendered pursuant to a Tender.

(b) In connection with any attempted Remarketing, all tendered VRDP Shares shall be remarketed at the Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares. The calculation of the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares that are remarketed or purchased by the Liquidity Provider shall be made by the Remarketing Agent in advance of such Remarketing or purchase and, together with the details of the aggregate number and Purchase Price of remarketed VRDP Shares and the aggregate number and Purchase Price of VRDP Shares to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, shall be communicated by the Remarketing Agent to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent by email transmission or facsimile transmission by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date, as described below. The proceeds of any sale of any remarketed VRDP Shares by the Remarketing Agent relating to tendered VRDP Shares will be used by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of the tendered VRDP Shares at the Purchase Price, and the terms of the sale will provide for the wire transfer of such Purchase Price by the Remarketing Agent to be received by the Tender and Paying Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date for payment to the Agent Member of the Beneficial Owner, in the case of an Optional Tender, or Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, tendering VRDP Shares for sale through the Securities Depository in immediately available funds against delivery of the tendered VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository, the delivery of such VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date, and the re-delivery of such VRDP Shares by means of “FREE” delivery through the Securities Depository to the Remarketing Agent for delivery to the purchaser’s Agent Member through the Securities Depository by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date.

(c) The Tender and Paying Agent shall establish a trust account for each of the (i) receipt and deposit of the Purchase Price received from the Remarketing Agent in connection with a Remarketing and (ii) receipt and deposit of the Purchase Price received from the Liquidity Provider on account of the exercise of its Purchase Obligation. Any funds paid by the Liquidity Provider and held in the account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price shall be held in trust for the parties specified in Section 3.02(f) or returned to the Liquidity Provider as provided in Section 3.02(f). Any funds paid by the Remarketing Agent and held in an account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price in connection with a Remarketing shall be held in trust for the parties specified in Section 3.02(f) or returned to the Remarketing Agent on account of purchasers purchasing in a Remarketing as provided in Section 3.02(f). Upon delivery of VRDP Shares from the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, in the case of an Optional Tender, or from the tendering Holders, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, to the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent shall pay, subject to receipt of the Purchase Price by the Tender and Paying Agent in the form of remarketing proceeds from the Remarketing Agent, with respect to VRDP Shares remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, or in the form of payment pursuant to the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement from the Liquidity Provider, with respect to VRDP Shares subject to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, the Purchase Price for such VRDP Shares to such

tendering Beneficial Owner, Agent Member or Holder, as the case may be. In accordance with and subject to the foregoing, the Tender and Paying Agent shall effect any such payment on the applicable Purchase Date.

(d) By 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Purchase Date, the Remarketing Agent shall deliver a notice to the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider (and, at the direction of the Fund, concurrently therewith or as promptly as practicable thereafter, to each Beneficial Owner or Holder tendering VRDP Shares that are the subject of such notice) (a “Remarketing Notice”), by email transmission or facsimile transmission, that sets forth the number of VRDP Shares, if any, that it successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such sold VRDP Shares and the number of VRDP Shares, if any, not successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such unsold VRDP Shares to be paid by the Liquidity Provider. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) a Preliminary Notice of Purchase that, subject to delivery of the Final Notice of Purchase on the Purchase Date described below, provides for the purchase by the Liquidity Provider of the number of such VRDP Shares that the Remarketing Agent stated in the Remarketing Notice as not having been successfully remarketed, including the aggregate Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares, as calculated by the Remarketing Agent. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date (or if remarketing proceeds for any tendered VRDP Shares have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date), the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Purchase Date a Final Notice of Purchase that states the number of VRDP Shares required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. For purposes of the Final Notice of Purchase, any tendered VRDP Shares for which remarketing proceeds have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date, shall be treated as not having been successfully remarketed and shall be required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. Except for manifest error, the payment obligation of the Liquidity Provider shall equal the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares stated in the Final Notice of Purchase delivered to the Liquidity Provider as being required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider.

(e) The Liquidity Provider shall, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Purchase Date for any VRDP Shares, wire transfer the aggregate Purchase Price of all VRDP Shares in respect of which Final Notices of Purchase have been delivered to it for purchase of VRDP Shares on such date, as follows: (i) in the case of a Final Notice of Purchase delivered by the Tender and Paying Agent, by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the Tender and Paying Agent specified by the Tender and Paying Agent in any such Final Notice of Purchase; and (ii) in the event there is no Tender and Paying Agent or for any reason the Tender and Paying Agent does not perform its obligations under the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement and the Liquidity Provider has received a Remarketing Notice that such VRDP Shares have not been the subject of an agreement of sale in a Remarketing and has received

written notice from the Fund that there is no Tender and Paying Agent or that the Tender and Paying Agent does not intend to perform its obligations under the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, in the case of a Final Notice of Purchase delivered by a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, in the case of an Optional Tender, or by a Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, by payment against delivery of the VRDP Shares that are the subject of any such Final Notice of Purchase, through means of the Securities Depository in the case of Global VRDP Shares. The Fund is required pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, in the event there is no Tender and Paying Agent or for any reason the Tender and Paying Agent does not perform its obligations under the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, to (i) upon becoming aware thereof, promptly notify the Liquidity Provider, the Remarketing Agent and Holders by Electronic Means of such event, and (ii) so long as such event is continuing, use its best efforts to direct the Remarketing Agent to forward, concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Liquidity Provider or as promptly as practicable thereafter, any Remarketing Notice to each Beneficial Owner or Holder tendering VRDP Shares that are the subject of such notice.

(f) Upon receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent from the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, in the case of an Optional Tender, or by the Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, of tendered VRDP Shares and the payment by the Tender and Paying Agent to such Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, or such Holder as the case may be, of the Purchase Price therefor on the applicable Purchase Date in satisfaction of the Liquidity Provider’s Purchase Obligation on such Purchase Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider, by means of “FREE” delivery through the system of the Securities Depository, VRDP Shares. Any funds paid by the Liquidity Provider and held in the account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price shall be held in trust (i) in the case of an Optional Tender, on the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members until the VRDP Shares are delivered by the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members and, after the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider, for payment of the Purchase Price upon delivery of the VRDP Shares or, with respect to VRDP Shares that are not delivered, for return to the Liquidity Provider upon its request and (ii) in the case of a Mandatory Tender, for the benefit of the tendering Holders until delivery of the VRDP Shares by the tendering Holders against payment therefor. Any funds paid by the Remarketing Agent and held in an account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price in connection with a Remarketing shall be held in trust (i) in the case of an Optional Tender, on the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members until the VRDP Shares are delivered by the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members and, after the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the Remarketing Agent on account of purchasers purchasing in a Remarketing or for the Remarketing Agent’s account to the extent it has advanced the Purchase Price of any VRDP Shares on behalf of one or more purchasers, as applicable, for payment of the Purchase Price upon delivery of the VRDP Shares or, with respect to VRDP Shares that are not delivered, for return to the Remarketing Agent on account of purchasers purchasing in a Remarketing or for the Remarketing Agent’s account to the extent it has advanced the Purchase Price of any VRDP Shares on behalf of one or more purchasers, as applicable, upon the Remarketing Agent’s request and (ii) in the case of a Mandatory Tender, for the benefit of the tendering Holders until delivery of the VRDP Shares by the tendering Holders against payment therefor. Upon receipt of VRDP Shares from the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, in the case of an Optional Tender, or from the tendering Holders, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, by the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent will

pay, subject to receipt of the Purchase Price by the Tender and Paying Agent in the form of remarketing proceeds from the Remarketing Agent, with respect to VRDP Shares remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, or in the form of payment pursuant to the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement from the Liquidity Provider, with respect to the VRDP Shares subject to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, the Purchase Price for such VRDP Shares to such tendering Beneficial Owner, Agent Member or Holder, as the case may be.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the purchase and delivery of tendered Global VRDP Shares and their Remarketing will be accomplished in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depository.

(h) In the event of a Failed Remarketing Condition, of which the Tender and Paying Agent has received notice labeled “Notice of Failed Remarketing Condition” by Electronic Means from the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent shall provide notice of such Failed Remarketing Condition within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent of such notice of such Failed Remarketing Condition, by Electronic Means (or by first class mail, postage prepaid, in the case where the VRDP Shares are in physical form), to the Holders (with a copy to the Fund).

(i) The Remarketing Agent and the Tender and Paying Agent each shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the timing requirements set forth above. At any time that no Purchase Obligation is in effect, any VRDP Shares unsold in a Remarketing shall be returned to the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, or the tendering Holders, as the case may be, by the Tender and Paying Agent.

(j) The Remarketing Agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the settlement procedures set forth above with respect to any Remarketing upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent, provided any such modification does not adversely affect the Holders, the Beneficial Owners, the Tender and Paying Agent, the Liquidity Provider or the Fund.

(a) VRDP Shares are subject to Mandatory Purchase by the Liquidity Provider upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event. So long as the VRDP Shares are in book-entry form, any Mandatory Purchase will be effected automatically through the book-entry system, without any action required on the part of the Holders or Beneficial Owners.

(b) Promptly following the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Fund, or the Tender and Paying Agent at the direction of the Fund (provided, that the Tender and Paying Agent may require up to two (2) Business Days prior notification by Electronic Means by the Fund) shall provide a Mandatory Purchase Notice by Electronic Means to Holders and the Liquidity Provider, specifying a Mandatory Purchase Date for all Outstanding VRDP Shares. The Mandatory Purchase Date shall not be later than seven (7) days following the date a Mandatory Purchase Notice is sent to Holders by Electronic Means, and in any event shall be not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the termination of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement. Any notice

given in respect of a Mandatory Purchase under the Certificate of Designation shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holders receive such notice. Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event, all Outstanding VRDP Shares automatically shall be subject to Mandatory Purchase by the Liquidity Provider at the Purchase Price on the Mandatory Purchase Date, including any VRDP Shares tendered pursuant to an Optional Tender or Mandatory Tender for which the Purchase Date has not yet occurred.

(c) In the event that VRDP Shares are issued in certificated form and a Holder fails to deliver such VRDP Shares to which a Mandatory Purchase relates, on or prior to the Mandatory Purchase Date, the Holder and Beneficial Owner(s) of such VRDP Shares will not be entitled to any payment (including any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared) other than the Purchase Price of such undelivered VRDP Shares as of the scheduled Purchase Date. Any such undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent shall place stop transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares. Any moneys held by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of undelivered VRDP Shares shall be held in a separate account, shall not be invested, and shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of such undelivered VRDP Shares. The undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding (except as to entitlement to payment of the Purchase Price), and the Fund will issue to the purchaser replacement VRDP Shares certificates.

(a) The Tender and Paying Agent shall calculate the regularly scheduled dividend amount (i.e., the amount to be calculated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2(e)(ii) of Part I of the Certificate of Designation with respect to regularly scheduled dividend amounts) to be paid to the Holders of VRDP Shares on each Dividend Payment Date subject to its receipt of the Applicable Rate by the Remarketing Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Dividend Payment Date by Electronic Means. The Fund shall confirm the Tender and Paying Agent’s calculation of the regularly scheduled dividend amount upon its receipt of any request therefor from the Tender and Paying Agent.

(b) The Fund shall irrevocably deposit in The City of New York, New York, with the Tender and Paying Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time (and shall provide, if applicable, to the Tender and Paying Agent, a Fed Fund wire confirmation number), (i) on the earlier of (A) the third (3^rd) Business Day next succeeding the Rate Determination Date immediately preceding a Dividend Payment Date and (B) the Business Day immediately preceding a Dividend Payment Date (or as otherwise provided for and in connection with designation of a Special Rate Period), an aggregate amount of Deposit Securities equal to the dividends to be paid to all Holders on such Dividend Payment Date as determined in accordance with the foregoing clause (a), and (ii) on a Business Day not less than ten (10) Business Days preceding any Redemption Date for such VRDP Shares, an aggregate amount of Deposit Securities in an amount equal to the Redemption Price to be paid on such Redemption Date in respect of any VRDP Shares called for Redemption on such date. If an aggregate amount of funds equal to the dividends of which the Tender and Paying Agent has knowledge are to be paid to all Holders on such Dividend Payment Date are not available in New York, New York by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding such Dividend

Payment Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall notify the Liquidity Provider by Electronic Means of such fact prior to the close of business on such day. The Tender and Paying Agent agrees to hold all Deposit Securities so deposited for the payment of dividends, the Redemption Price or any applicable Late Charge of which the Fund has notified the Tender and Paying Agent on the VRDP Shares with the Tender and Paying Agent by the Fund in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto and in each such case to apply such Deposit Securities as set forth in clause (c) below.

(c) Upon the Tender and Paying Agent’s receipt of the Fund’s deposit of funds in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) above (provided, however, that payment in next-day funds at any time on a preceding Business Day shall be considered equivalent to payment in same-day funds on the next Business Day at the same time, and any payment made after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day shall be considered to have been made instead in the same form of funds before 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the next Business Day) or, in the case of dividends in arrears on any VRDP Shares, at any time as may be fixed by the Fund and in respect of which the Fund has advised the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent shall pay to the applicable Holder, as determined by the Fund pursuant to the Certificate of Designation and in respect of which the Fund has advised the Tender and Paying Agent, on the Dividend Payment Date or Redemption Date related thereto, (i) dividends, including any Late Charge, on the applicable VRDP Shares, and (ii) the Redemption Price. The amount of dividends for any Dividend Period to be paid by the Tender and Paying Agent to the Holder entitled thereto will be determined as set forth in clause (a) above and in Section 2 of Part I of the Certificate of Designation. The Redemption Price to be paid by the Tender and Paying Agent to the Holder entitled thereto will be determined by the Fund as set forth in Section 10 of Part I of the Certificate of Designation and in respect of which the Fund has advised the Tender and Paying Agent. The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no duty to determine the Redemption Price or the Late Charge or other amounts due hereunder (except for the calculation of the regularly scheduled dividend amount) and, with respect to the Redemption Price, may rely on the amount thereof set forth in the Notice of Redemption or otherwise communicated by the Fund to the Tender and Paying Agent. The Tender and Paying Agent may conclusively presume that it may make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, whether in respect of dividends, Redemption Price or otherwise, without restriction of any kind (including but not limited to the restriction referred to in Section 2.01(c) hereof), unless and until it shall have been notified otherwise by the Fund at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date scheduled for any such payment. Upon the request of the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent shall promptly transmit to the Fund after the Dividend Payment Date and date of any redemption as described above any cash held by the Tender and Paying Agent in excess of the sum of (i) the aggregate dividend payment due on VRDP Shares on such Dividend Payment Date or Redemption Price on the VRDP Shares called for redemption on such date and (ii) all other amounts to which Holders of VRDP Shares called for redemption may be entitled. The Tender and Paying Agent shall, upon the written request of the Fund, invest any moneys deposited by the Fund with the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Redemption Price of VRDP Shares in Deposit Securities. The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment made pursuant to this Agreement, or for any loss resulting from the sale of any such investment.

(d) Whenever the Fund intends to include any net capital gains or ordinary income taxable for regular federal income tax purposes in any dividend on the VRDP Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Fund may notify the Remarketing Agent and the Tender and Paying Agent of the amount to be so included (i) not later than fourteen (14) calendar days preceding the first Rate Determination Date on which the Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established, and (ii) for any immediately successive Rate Determination Date on which the Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established, not later than the close of business on the immediately preceding the Rate Determination Date. Whenever such advance notice is received from the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent shall notify each Holder within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent of such notice and the Remarketing Agent will promptly notify each potential Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member. With respect to a Rate Period for which such advance notice was given and whose dividends are comprised partly of such ordinary income or capital gains and partly of exempt-interest income, the different types of income will be paid in the same relative proportions for each day during the Rate Period.

(e) Whenever the Fund intends to include any net capital gains or ordinary income in any dividend on VRDP Shares, without giving advance notice thereof pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Fund shall notify the Tender and Paying Agent of the additional amounts to be included in such dividend as provided in the Certificate of Designation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

(f) Whenever the Fund intends to make a Gross-Up Payment on VRDP Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Fund will notify the Tender and Paying Agent (a “Gross-Up Notice”), in which case the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver such Gross-Up Notice within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent of such notice to each Holder of such VRDP Shares entitled to such Gross-Up Payment, who shall be determined by the Fund, at such Holder’s address as the same appears on the record books of the Fund maintained by the Tender and Paying Agent.

(g) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the Tender and Paying Agent to advance its own funds to any Holder if sufficient funds have not been deposited with the Tender and Paying Agent by the Fund for the purpose of making payments hereunder or otherwise.

(h) Except with respect to the entitlements of the Holders as provided in the last sentence of clause (b) above, the Tender and Paying Agent, in carrying out its responsibilities as the Tender and Paying Agent, shall be acting solely as the agent of the Fund. No delivery of VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent, or any agent of the Tender and Paying Agent, shall constitute a redemption of the VRDP Shares.

Section 3.05 Special Rate Periods. The provisions contained in the Certificate of Designation concerning Special Rate Periods and proposed Special Rate Periods and the notification of a Special Rate Period and a proposed Special Rate Period will be followed by the Fund and in respect of which the Fund has notified the Tender and Paying Agent and, to the extent applicable, the Tender and Paying Agent, and such provisions are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions were set forth fully herein.

Section 3.06 Notice to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider, the Remarketing Agent and Holders of VRDP Shares. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Agreement, the Fund will deliver or, if the Fund so directs, the Tender and Paying Agent, pursuant to and in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.06, will deliver:

On the Date of Original Issue of any VRDP Shares, one or more certificates for the VRDP Shares shall be issued by the Fund and registered in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee (“Global VRDP Shares”), and countersigned by the Tender and Paying Agent.

The Tender and Paying Agent may treat any certificates that were replaced due to an alleged loss, theft or destruction as if such certificates were cancelled at the time of the issuance of replacements therefor. The Tender and Paying Agent may issue new certificates in exchange for and upon the cancellation of mutilated certificates. Any request by the Fund to the Tender and Paying Agent to issue a replacement or new certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04 shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Fund to the Tender and Paying Agent that such issuance will comply with applicable provisions of law and the Charter and resolutions of the Fund.

In case of any request or demand for the inspection of the share transfer books of the Fund or any other books of the Fund in the possession of the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent will notify the Fund and secure instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tender and Paying Agent reserves the right to allow such share transfer books or other books to be inspected by any Person in case it is advised by its counsel that its failure to do so would: (i) be unlawful or (ii) expose it to liability, unless the Tender and Paying Agent shall have received an offer of indemnification acceptable to it.

Section 4.07 Return of Funds. The Tender and Paying Agent shall notify the Fund or the Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, by Electronic Means of the amount of any funds deposited with the Tender and Paying Agent by the Fund or the Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, for any reason under this Agreement, including for the payment of dividends, the Redemption Price or any applicable Late Charge, that remain with the Tender and Paying Agent after ninety (90) days from the date of such deposit and such amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid to the Fund or the Liquidity Provider, as the case may be, by the Tender and Paying Agent upon the request by Electronic Means of the Fund or the Liquidity Provider, as the case may be.

In the event that VRDP Shares are issued in certificated form and a Holder of VRDP Shares fails to deliver such VRDP Shares to which a Mandatory Tender relates on or prior to the Purchase Date, the Holder of such VRDP Shares will not be entitled to any payment (including any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared) other than the Purchase Price of such undelivered VRDP Shares as of the scheduled Purchase Date. Any such undelivered VRDP Shares will be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent will place stop-transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 3.04(a) or any other provision of the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement to the contrary, the Tender and Paying Agent shall establish the Applicable Rate in accordance with this Section 1.02.

(b) For each SRP Calculation Period for the VRDP Shares, the dividend rate on the VRDP Shares (the “SRP Applicable Rate”) shall be calculated by the Tender and Paying Agent

and shall be equal to the rate per annum that results from the sum of the (1) Base Rate and (2) Ratings Spread (the “SRP Applicable Rate Determination”).

In determining the SRP Applicable Rate on any SRP Calculation Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Ratings Spread of which it has most recently received notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall be obligated to pay dividends determined on the basis of ratings of the VRDP Shares in effect on the relevant SRP Calculation Dates as set forth in the Notice of Special Rate Period and the Statement.

(e) The amount of dividends payable on each VRDP Share on any Dividend Payment Date during the Special Rate Period shall be calculated by the Tender and Paying Agent and shall equal the sum of the dividends accumulated but not yet paid for each SRP Calculation Period (or part thereof) and, if applicable, any other Rate Period (or part thereof) occurring during the related Dividend Period. The amount of dividends accumulated for each such SRP Calculation Period (or part thereof) shall be computed by multiplying the SRP Applicable Rate for the VRDP Shares for such SRP Calculation Period (or part thereof) by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in such SRP Calculation Period (or part thereof) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366), and multiplying such product by $100,000.

(i) on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (each a “Portfolio Reporting Date”), the information set forth in Exhibit B to this Amendment as of the end of the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Portfolio Reporting Date;

(ii) on each Monday, provided that if a Monday is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day, the information set forth in Exhibit C to this Amendment and a calculation of the Effective Leverage Ratio and the Minimum VRDP Shares Asset Coverage of the Fund, in each case, as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(b) Section 3.06(m) and (n) of the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement shall be inapplicable with respect to any amendments of the Related Documents that have been consented to by the Liquidity Provider.

(a) The Fund hereby consents to the Tender and Paying Agent entering into the Amendment, dated as of June 20, 2012, to the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011, between the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider (the “VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement Amendment”) and the Fund certifies that the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement Amendment is permitted by the Charter, including the Certificate of Designation.

Any assignment without such prior written consent shall be void.

THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

The Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

The Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Nothing herein, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent and their respective successors and assigns, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim hereunder, provided that the Liquidity Provider, Holders and Beneficial Owners shall be express third party beneficiaries hereof and of the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement as amended hereby to the extent provided in Section 7.04 of the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement.

The Fund issued its Series W-7 Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (the “VRDP Shares”) pursuant to its Certificate of Designation Establishing and Fixing the Rights of Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, dated May 17, 2011, as the same may be amended (the “Certificate of Designation”);

In connection with the issuance of the VRDP Shares, the Tender and Paying Agent and the Fund entered into a Tender and Paying Agent Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011, as amended on June 21, 2012 (the “Tender and Paying Agent Agreement”);

The Fund wishes to amend, and hereby requests the Tender and Paying Agent to enter into this Amendment for the purpose of modifying certain of the respective rights and obligations of the Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent under the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement during the Special Rate Period.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement or by reference therein to the Certificate of Designation or the Notice of Special Rate Period, dated as of June 20, 2012.

(b) During the Special Rate Period, whenever the Fund intends or expects to include any net capital gains or ordinary income taxable for regular federal income tax purposes in any dividend on VRDP Shares, the Fund shall notify the Tender and Paying Agent of the amount to be so included (i) not later than 14 calendar days preceding the first SRP Calculation Date on which the SRP Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established and (ii) for any successive SRP Calculation Date on which the SRP Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established, not later than the close of business on the immediately preceding SRP Calculation Date. Whenever such advance notice is received from the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent will notify each Holder and each Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member identified to the Tender and Paying Agent in accordance with Section 7.13 of the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement. The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no responsibility for any such notice which is not provided to the Tender and Paying Agent on or before the dates specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above other than to notify each Holder of such notice within two (2) Business Days of receipt.

(c) If the Fund allocates, under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, any net capital gains or ordinary income taxable for regular federal income tax purposes to a dividend paid on VRDP Shares during the Special Rate Period, the Fund shall to the extent practical simultaneously increase such dividend payment by an additional amount equal to the Gross-up Payment and direct the Tender and Paying Agent to send notice with such dividend describing the Gross-up Payment and (ii) if the Fund allocates, under Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of the Code, any net capital gains or ordinary income taxable for regular federal income tax purposes to a dividend paid on VRDP Shares without simultaneously increasing such dividend as describe in clause (i) above the Fund shall, prior to the end of the calendar year in which such dividend was paid, direct the Tender and Paying Agent to send notice with a Gross-up Payment to the Holder that was entitled to such dividend payment during such calendar year at such Holder’s address as the same appears or last appeared on the record books of the Fund.

The Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Amendment in any court referred to in the preceding paragraph of this Section.

Each Notice of Tender will be irrevocable (except as described below) and effective upon receipt and shall:

(i) be delivered by a Beneficial Owner, directly or through its Agent Member, by email transmission (or if email transmission shall be unavailable, by facsimile transmission), to the Tender and Paying Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day;

(iii) state that the tendering Beneficial Owner acknowledges that such Beneficial Owner is required to deliver the VRDP Shares that are the subject of a Notice of Tender (that has not been duly revoked as described below) on or before 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date.

Any such undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent shall place stop-transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares. Any moneys held by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of undelivered VRDP Shares shall be held in a separate account by the Tender and Paying Agent, shall not be invested, and shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of such undelivered VRDP Shares. The undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding (except as to entitlement to payment of the Purchase Price), and the Fund shall issue to the purchaser replacement VRDP Shares certificates in lieu of such undelivered VRDP Shares.

Any Notice of Revocation delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent shall be promptly delivered by Electronic Means by the Tender and Paying Agent to the Liquidity Provider and the Remarketing Agent (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Purchase Date. The Remarketing Agent (following receipt of such Notice of Revocation) shall notify the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider of the number of VRDP Shares specified in such Notice of Revocation that are subject to an agreement of sale pursuant to a Remarketing by email transmission or facsimile transmission not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date. The Tender and Paying Agent shall contact the Remarketing Agent by Electronic Means by 1:45 p.m., New York City time, if such notification has not been received by such time. The Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver such notification to the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member promptly following receipt from the Remarketing Agent, and in any event by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date. Any such Notice of Revocation shall be effective (without further action on the part of the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member) as a revocation of the Optional Tender of the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as being sought to be revoked, but (except as set forth below) only if and to the extent that the Remarketing Agent has not entered into an agreement to sell such VRDP Shares. A Notice of Revocation shall be effective as to the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as having been revoked less the number of such VRDP Shares in respect of which the Remarketing Agent has so notified the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider that it has entered into an agreement of sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tendered VRDP Shares, if any, that remain unsold on the related Purchase Date shall be allocated by the Remarketing Agent to each Notice of Revocation received in respect of VRDP Shares tendered for purchase on such Purchase Date and not already satisfied in the chronological order in which each such Notice of Revocation was received by the Tender and Paying Agent, and each such Notice of Revocation shall be effective only to the extent of such allocation and availability of unsold VRDP Shares.

(e) In connection with any Special Rate Period designated pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Board, without the vote or consent of any Holder of VRDP Shares but with prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, in the Notice of Special Rate Period relating to the VRDP Shares, as delivered to the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider, may provide for optional tender provisions relating solely to such Special Rate Period (“Special Optional Tender Provisions”) whereby the minimum number of days’ notice required for an Optional Tender may exceed seven (7) days as specified in the Special Optional Tender Provisions for such Special Rate Period.

(f) Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Fund has agreed in the Fee Agreement to use its best efforts to engage at all times a Remarketing Agent that is a nationally recognized securities dealer with experience in remarketing variable-rate securities whose appointment has been consented to in writing by the Liquidity Provider (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to use its best efforts to find purchasers for all VRDP Shares properly tendered pursuant to a Tender. All such VRDP Shares shall be remarketed at the Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares.

(g) In connection with any attempted Remarketing, all tendered VRDP Shares shall be remarketed at the Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares. The calculation of the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares that are remarketed or purchased by the Liquidity Provider shall be made by the Remarketing Agent in advance of such Remarketing or purchase and, together with the details of the aggregate number and Purchase Price of remarketed VRDP Shares and the aggregate number and Purchase Price of VRDP Shares to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, shall be communicated by the Remarketing Agent to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent by Electronic Means by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date, as described below. The proceeds of any sale of any remarketed VRDP Shares by the Remarketing Agent relating to tendered VRDP Shares will be used by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of the tendered VRDP Shares at the Purchase Price, and the terms of the

sale will provide for the wire transfer of such Purchase Price by the Remarketing Agent to be received by the Tender and Paying Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date for payment to the Agent Member of the Beneficial Owner, in the case of an Optional Tender, or Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, tendering VRDP Shares for sale through the Securities Depository in immediately available funds against delivery of the tendered VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository, the delivery of such VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date, and the re-delivery of such VRDP Shares by means of “FREE” delivery through the Securities Depository to the Remarketing Agent for delivery to the purchaser’s Agent Member through the Securities Depository by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date.

(h) By 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Purchase Date, the Remarketing Agent shall deliver a notice to the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider (a “Remarketing Notice”), by email transmission or facsimile transmission, that sets forth the number of VRDP Shares, if any, that it successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such sold VRDP Shares and the number of VRDP Shares, if any, not successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such unsold VRDP Shares to be paid by the Liquidity Provider. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) a Preliminary Notice of Purchase that, subject to delivery of the Final Notice of Purchase on the Purchase Date described below, provides for the purchase by the Liquidity Provider of the number of such VRDP Shares that the Remarketing Agent stated in the Remarketing Notice as not having been successfully remarketed, including the aggregate Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares, as calculated by the Remarketing Agent. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date (or if remarketing proceeds for any tendered VRDP Shares have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date), the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Purchase Date a Final Notice of Purchase that states the number of VRDP Shares required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. For purposes of the Final Notice of Purchase, any tendered VRDP Shares for which remarketing proceeds have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date, shall be treated as not having been successfully remarketed and shall be required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. Except for manifest error, the payment obligation of the Liquidity Provider shall equal the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares, stated in the Final Notice of Purchase delivered to the Liquidity Provider, as being required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider.

(i) The Liquidity Provider shall, no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Purchase Date for any VRDP Shares, wire transfer the aggregate Purchase Price of all VRDP Shares in respect of which Final Notices of Purchase have been delivered to it for purchase of VRDP Shares on such date, as follows: (i) in the case of a Final Notice of Purchase delivered by the Tender and Paying Agent, by wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of the Tender and Paying Agent specified by the Tender and Paying Agent in any such Final Notice of Purchase; and (ii) in the case of a Final Notice of Purchase delivered by a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, in the case of an Optional Tender, or by a Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, in the event there is no Tender and Paying Agent or for any reason the Tender and Paying Agent does not perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Liquidity Provider has received a Remarketing Notice that such VRDP Shares have not been the subject of an agreement of sale in a Remarketing and has received written notice from the Fund that there is no Tender and Paying Agent or that the Tender and Paying Agent does not intend to perform its obligations hereunder, by payment against delivery of the VRDP Shares that are the subject of any such Final Notice of Purchase, through means of the Securities Depository in the case of Global VRDP Shares. The Fund is required pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, in the event there is no Tender and Paying Agent or for any reason the Tender and Paying Agent does not perform its obligations under this Agreement, to (i) upon becoming aware thereof, promptly notify the Liquidity Provider, the Remarketing Agent and Holders by Electronic Means of such event, and (ii) so long as such event is continuing, use its best efforts to direct and request the Remarketing Agent to forward, concurrently with the delivery thereof to the Liquidity Provider or as promptly as practicable thereafter, any Remarketing Notice to each Beneficial Owner or Holder tendering VRDP Shares that are the subject of such notice.

(j) Upon receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent from the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, in the case of an Optional Tender, or by the Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, of tendered VRDP Shares and the payment by the Tender and Paying Agent to such Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member, or such Holder as the case may be, of the Purchase Price therefor on the applicable Purchase Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver to the Liquidity Provider, by means of “FREE” delivery through the system of the Securities Depository, VRDP Shares in satisfaction of the Liquidity Provider’s Purchase Obligation on such Purchase Date. Any funds paid by the Liquidity Provider and held in the account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price shall be held in trust (i) in the case of an Optional Tender, on the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members until the VRDP Shares are delivered by the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members and, after the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the Liquidity Provider, for payment of the Purchase Price upon delivery of the VRDP Shares or, with respect to VRDP Shares that are not delivered, for return to the Liquidity Provider upon its request and (ii) in the case of a Mandatory Tender, for the benefit of the tendering Holders until delivery of the VRDP Shares by the tendering Holders against payment therefor. Any funds paid by the Remarketing Agent and held in an account of the Tender and Paying Agent for the payment of the Purchase Price in connection with a Remarketing shall be held in trust (i) in the case of an Optional Tender, on the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members until the VRDP Shares are delivered by the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members and, after the Purchase Date, for the benefit of the Remarketing Agent on account of purchasers purchasing in a Remarketing or for the Remarketing Agent’s account to the extent it has advanced the Purchase Price of any VRDP Shares on behalf of one or more purchasers, as applicable, for payment of the Purchase Price upon delivery of the VRDP Shares or, with respect to VRDP Shares that are not delivered, for return to the Remarketing Agent on account of purchasers purchasing in a Remarketing or for the Remarketing Agent’s account to the extent it has advanced the Purchase Price of any VRDP Shares on behalf of one or more purchasers, as applicable, upon the Remarketing Agent’s request and (ii) in the case of a Mandatory Tender, for the benefit of the tendering Holders until delivery of the VRDP Shares by the tendering Holders against payment therefor. Upon receipt of VRDP Shares from the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, in the case of an Optional Tender, or from the tendering Holders, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, by the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent shall pay, subject to receipt of the Purchase Price by the Tender and Paying Agent in the form of remarketing proceeds from the Remarketing Agent, with respect to VRDP Shares remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, or in the form of payment pursuant to this Agreement from the Liquidity Provider, with respect to the VRDP Shares subject to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, the Purchase Price for such VRDP Shares to such tendering Beneficial Owner, Agent Member or Holder, as the case may be. In accordance with and subject to the foregoing, the Tender and Paying Agent shall effect any such payment on the applicable Purchase Date.

(k) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the purchase and delivery of tendered Global VRDP Shares and their Remarketing will be accomplished in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depository.

(l) In the event of a Failed Remarketing Condition, of which the Tender and Paying Agent has received notice labeled “Notice of Failed Remarketing Condition” by Electronic Means from the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent shall provide notice of such Failed Remarketing Condition within two (2) Business Days of receipt by the Tender and Paying Agent of such notice of such Failed Remarketing Condition, by Electronic Means (or by first class mail, postage prepaid, in the case where the VRDP Shares are in physical form), to the Holders (with a copy to the Fund).

(m) At any time that no Purchase Obligation is in effect, any VRDP Shares unsold in a Remarketing shall be returned to the tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, or the tendering Holders, as the case may be, by the Tender and Paying Agent.

(n) VRDP Shares are subject to Mandatory Purchase by the Liquidity Provider upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event. Promptly following the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Fund, or the Tender and Paying Agent at the direction of the Fund (provided, that the Tender and Paying Agent may require up to two (2) Business Days prior notification by Electronic Means by the Fund), shall provide a Mandatory Purchase Notice by Electronic Means to Holders and the Liquidity Provider, specifying a Mandatory Purchase Date for all Outstanding VRDP Shares. The Mandatory Purchase Date shall not be later than seven (7) days following the date a Mandatory Purchase Notice is sent to

Holders by Electronic Means, and in any event shall be not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the termination of this Agreement. Any notice given in respect of a Mandatory Purchase under the Certificate of Designation shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holders receive such notice. Upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Purchase Event, all Outstanding VRDP Shares automatically shall be subject to Mandatory Purchase by the Liquidity Provider at the Purchase Price on the Mandatory Purchase Date, including any VRDP Shares tendered pursuant to an Optional Tender or Mandatory Tender for which the Purchase Date has not yet occurred. In the event that VRDP Shares are issued in certificated form and a Holder fails to deliver such VRDP Shares to which a Mandatory Purchase relates, on or prior to the Mandatory Purchase Date, the Holder of such VRDP Shares will not be entitled to any payment (including any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared) other than the Purchase Price of such undelivered VRDP Shares as of the scheduled Purchase Date. Any such undelivered VRDP Shares will be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent will place stop-transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares. Any moneys held by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of undelivered VRDP Shares shall be held in a separate account, shall not be invested, and shall be held for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of such undelivered VRDP Shares. The undelivered VRDP Shares shall be deemed to be no longer Outstanding (except as to entitlement to payment of the Purchase Price), and the Fund will issue to the purchaser replacement VRDP Shares certificates in lieu of such undelivered VRDP Shares.

(o) The Liquidity Provider shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability in respect of, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (“Losses”) relating to any act by the Tender and Paying Agent, or any failure to act or to perform any of its obligations, other than Losses arising out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Liquidity Provider.

Under the Fee Agreement, the Fund shall have the right, exercisable not more than one hundred twenty (120) days nor less than ninety (90) days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, to request that the Liquidity Provider extend the term of such Scheduled Termination Date for an additional period of 364 days or, if mutually agreed upon by the parties to the Fee Agreement, a period greater than 364 days, which request may be conditioned upon other terms and conditions that are different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Fee Agreement then in effect. The Liquidity Provider shall, no later than thirty (30) days after receiving such request, notify the Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent of its acceptance or rejection of such request, which acceptance by the Liquidity Provider may be a Conditional Acceptance conditioned upon terms and conditions which are different from the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Fee Agreement then in effect or the terms and conditions proposed by the Fund in making an extension request. If the Liquidity Provider fails to notify the Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the Fund’s request for extension within such 30-day period, such failure to respond shall constitute a rejection of such request. If the Liquidity Provider provides a Conditional Acceptance, then the Fund shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to notify the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the terms and conditions specified in the Liquidity Provider’s Conditional Acceptance. The Fund’s failure to notify the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent within the 30-day period will be deemed a rejection of the terms and conditions specified in the Liquidity Provider’s Conditional Acceptance. Under the Fee Agreement, the Fund will acknowledge and agree that the Liquidity Provider may grant or deny any request for extension of the Scheduled Termination Date in its sole and absolute discretion.

As of the opening of business on the day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of written notice (which the Tender and Paying Agent will provide within two (2) Business Days of receipt of notice from the Fund) of any redemption or other repurchase of VRDP Shares consummated by the Fund, the Available Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the amount applicable to the VRDP Shares so redeemed or otherwise repurchased; and the Available Commitment in respect of such VRDP Shares shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter be revived, except with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to expand the terms of the Purchase Obligation.

In the event that any dividends or redemption proceeds paid by the Fund on Outstanding VRDP Shares prior to the occurrence of a Fund Insolvency Event are required to be, and are, paid over to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of a Fund Insolvency Event, any Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of VRDP Shares that has paid over to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund pursuant to such judgment any dividends or redemption proceeds previously received from the Fund may demand reimbursement from the Liquidity Provider of any amounts so paid. The Liquidity Provider agrees to make such reimbursement payment within three (3) Business Days of receipt of any such demand for payment made in writing and accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidity Provider of payment made to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund by or on behalf of the demanding party. In connection with any reimbursement payment by the Liquidity Provider, the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of VRDP Shares shall be deemed to have transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Liquidity Provider the right to receive from the Fund and the bankruptcy estate of the Fund any such dividends or redemption proceeds in exchange for the reimbursement payment by the Liquidity Provider, and the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further conveyances, assignments and other documents as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably request and are reasonably necessary in order to effectuate such assignment. The provisions of this Section 2.05 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, in respect of any dividends or redemption proceeds paid by the Fund on Outstanding VRDP Shares during the term of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any other obligation of the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement.

The representations and warranties set out in this Article III are given hereunder by the Tender and Paying Agent on the Effective Date only and are not repeated on any subsequent date.

The Tender and Paying Agent represents and warrants to the Liquidity Provider that (i) the Tender and Paying Agent is duly organized and is validly existing as a banking corporation under the laws of the State of New York, (ii) it has the corporate power to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Related Document to which it is a party and (iii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Tender and Paying Agent except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws related to or affecting the rights of creditors generally from time to time in effect and by general principles of equity.

The representations and warranties set out in this Article IV are given hereunder by the Liquidity Provider on the Effective Date only and are not repeated on any subsequent date.

The Liquidity Provider is a national banking association duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States. The Liquidity Provider has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Liquidity Provider of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation, are within the Liquidity Provider’s powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not violate or contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law, charter, ordinance or regulation or of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Liquidity Provider or result in the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any asset of the Liquidity Provider, except for such violations or contraventions which would not have a material adverse effect on the Liquidity Provider’s ability to pay when due and otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Fee Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation; provided, however, that the forgoing exception shall not apply to any violation or contravention of the Liquidity Provider’s charter.

This Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Liquidity Provider, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability, it being understood that the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be subject to limitations imposed under applicable securities laws.

The consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income and cash flows, and the auditor’s report with respect thereto, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Fund, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Liquidity Provider and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three (3) years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The audits of these statements were conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Since the date of such financial statements, no transaction or event has occurred and no change has occurred in the condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Liquidity Provider that would materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation.

Except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum or in a schedule delivered to the Fund prior to the Effective Date, no action, suit, proceeding or investigation is pending or (to the best knowledge of the Liquidity Provider) overtly threatened in writing against the Liquidity Provider in any court or before any governmental authority in any way contesting or, if decided adversely, would affect the validity of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation.

The obligations of the Liquidity Provider hereunder rank pari passu with all other senior unsecured obligations of the Liquidity Provider (other than any such obligations preferred by statute or by operation of law).

(a) The Tender and Paying Agent is acting solely as agent for the Fund hereunder and owes no duties, fiduciary or otherwise, to any other Person by reason of this Agreement, other than to the Liquidity Provider as and to the extent expressly provided for herein.

(c) In the absence of negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Tender and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. The Tender and Paying Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith unless and to the extent it is negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(c) The Tender and Paying Agent shall not be required to advance, expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur or become exposed to financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder.

(g) The Tender and Paying Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; flood; terrorism; wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority and governmental action. The Tender and Paying Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence performance of its obligations during any of the foregoing circumstances.

(i) The permissive right of the Tender and Paying Agent under this Agreement to take or omit to take any action shall not be construed as a duty.

(j) The Tender and Paying Agent may request that the Liquidity Provider deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement, which certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign such a certificate, including any Person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(k) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent shall have no duty or obligation to pay any interest or earnings on or with respect to amounts held or deposited hereunder or invest any funds deposited with it at any time pursuant to this Agreement. In the event the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent shall otherwise agree, any interest or earnings on or with respect to any amount held or deposited hereunder shall be remitted to the Fund in accordance with such agreement. The Tender and Paying Agent shall be under no duty or obligation to collateralize or pledge any security therefor, or to segregate any amounts hereunder except as may be required by law; provided, however, that the Tender and Paying Agent shall hold any Purchase Price received from the Liquidity Provider , with respect to VRDP Shares subject to purchase pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, or the Remarketing Agent, with respect to VRDP Shares remarketed by the Remarketing Agent, in separate accounts in trust for the benefit of the parties specified in Section 2.02(j) or the return of such Purchase Price to the Liquidity Provider or the Remarketing Agent as provided in Section 2.02(j).

(l) The Tender and Paying Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of VRDP Shares with the same rights it would have if it were not Tender and Paying Agent.

(m) Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require the Tender and Paying Agent to advance its own funds to any Holder if sufficient funds have not been deposited with the Tender and Paying Agent by the Fund for the purpose of making payments hereunder.

(n) The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no duty to examine and shall not be charged with knowledge of the contents of any report, information or document delivered to it hereunder. The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no duty to determine the occurrence or continuance of any event or events that constitute a Liquidity Provider Ratings Event, Mandatory Tender Event, Mandatory Purchase Event, Failed Remarketing Condition, Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased VRDP Shares Redemption or Related Party Termination Event, or to determine whether any agreement satisfies the requirements of an Alternate VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement.

(o) The Tender and Paying Agent has no obligation under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise to enforce any rights or exercise any remedies that may be available to any Holder or Beneficial Owner or other Person that arise out of or relate to this Agreement or otherwise.

The Tender and Paying Agent makes no representation as to the validity (except with respect to itself) or adequacy of this Agreement or any VRDP Shares issued or to be issued.

(a) None of the Liquidity Provider or the Tender and Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner in the Global VRDP Shares, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Securities Depository or its nominee or of any Agent Member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global VRDP Shares or with respect to the delivery to any Agent Member, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Securities Depository) of any notice (including any Notice of Redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such VRDP Shares. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under this Agreement or the Related Documents shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Securities Depository or its nominee in the case of Global VRDP Shares). The rights of Beneficial Owners in the Global VRDP Shares shall be exercised only through the Securities Depository subject to the applicable procedures of the Securities Depository. The Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in acting upon information furnished by the Securities Depository with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners. The Fund and the Tender and Paying Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Securities Depository, and any nominee thereof that is the registered holder of any Global VRDP Shares for all purposes of this Agreement or the Related Documents relating to such Global VRDP Shares (including the payment of dividends, redemption price, if any, and additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global VRDP Shares), as the sole holder of such Global VRDP Shares and shall have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners thereof. None of the Liquidity Provider or the Tender and Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Securities Depository with respect to such Global VRDP Shares, for the records of the Securities Depository, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global VRDP Shares, for any transactions between the Securities Depository and any Agent Member or between or among the Securities Depository, any such Agent Member and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in such Global VRDP Shares, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global VRDP Shares.

(b) The Tender and Paying Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the other Related Documents or this Agreement or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any VRDP Shares (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or Beneficial Owners of interests in any Global VRDP Shares), other than to require delivery of such certificates, other documentation or evidence, if any, as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

The Liquidity Provider agrees that, so long as there is any Purchase Obligation hereunder or any amount payable hereunder or under any VRDP Shares remains outstanding:

The Liquidity Provider agrees to perform all of its obligations hereunder, including the obligation to purchase the VRDP Shares in accordance with Article II herein, notwithstanding a Fund Insolvency Event.

In the event of a termination of this Agreement as a result of a Termination Event, the Liquidity Provider agrees to waive its right with respect to Purchased VRDP Shares to exercise the Purchase Obligation provided by

any subsequent Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that any Purchased VRDP Shares that are subsequently sold by the Liquidity Provider in a successful Remarketing shall at the time of such sale and thereafter have the full benefit of the Purchase Obligation of any subsequent Liquidity Provider; and, provided, further, that any Purchase Obligation of a subsequent Liquidity Provider with respect to the Purchased VRDP Shares shall be on parity with the Purchase Obligation of such Liquidity Provider with respect to all other Outstanding VRDP Shares.

To the extent permitted under applicable confidentiality restrictions, the Liquidity Provider shall provide (a) written notice of an Extraordinary Corporate Event and (b) the written notice referred to in clause (y) in the definition of an Extraordinary Corporate Event, to the Fund at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Corporate Event or ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of the applicable listed occurrence in clause (i) of such definition, respectively.

If at any time the Liquidity Provider’s bank holding company is not furnishing information to the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers under Rule 144A, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Holders and Beneficial Owners of VRDP Shares and prospective purchasers of VRDP Shares, upon request, information with respect to the Liquidity Provider satisfying the requirements of subsection (d)(4) of Rule 144A.

Any resignation or removal of the Tender and Paying Agent shall be effective only upon a replacement Tender and Paying Agent entering into a replacement of this Agreement with the Liquidity Provider.

All notices, requests and other communications to the Liquidity Provider 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.

(a) The rights of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are separate from and in addition to any rights that the Liquidity Provider, as a holder of any VRDP Shares, may have under the terms of such VRDP Shares or any Related Document or otherwise.

(b) No failure or delay by the Liquidity Provider in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the VRDP 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 Liquidity Provider in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the VRDP Shares or any other Related Document shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Liquidity Provider hereunder or thereunder 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.

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived with the consent of the Fund if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider; provided, that no amendment or waiver that affects any preference, right or power of the VRDP Shares or the Holders thereof shall be made except as permitted under the Charter and the Certificate of Designation, and agreed to by the Fund. The provision of Section 7.10 relating to the third-party beneficiary rights of Holders and Beneficial Owners may be amended only with the prior written consent of Holders of 100% of the Outstanding VRDP Shares.

Neither party hereto may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party and the Fund, except pursuant to the proviso to the definition of “Extraordinary Corporate Event”. Any assignment or transfer without such prior written consent shall be void. The obligations of the Liquidity Provider to purchase VRDP Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall run to the benefit of those beneficiaries identified in Section 7.10 and the Purchase Obligation evidenced hereby shall not be transferable except in connection with a transfer of VRDP Shares or any beneficial interest therein, whereupon the Purchase Obligation shall automatically run to the benefit of the transferee.

(a) Subject to subsections (b) and (c) below, this Agreement shall terminate on the later of (i) the earlier of (x) the Scheduled Termination Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof) and (y) the reduction of the Available Commitment of the Liquidity Provider to zero; and (ii) the date of payment of all sums payable by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Any Notice of Tender that is delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent by a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to have been received by the Tender and Paying Agent on the next succeeding Business Day, and the Purchase Date shall be adjusted such that the Purchase Date shall be the Business Day next succeeding the date specified as the Purchase Date in the Notice of Tender. The Tender and Paying Agent’s determination as to whether a Notice of Tender has been properly delivered shall be conclusive and binding on a Beneficial Owner and its Agent Member.

(iii) A Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member that delivered a Notice of Tender in connection with an Optional Tender may deliver in writing by email transmission (or if email transmission shall be unavailable, by facsimile transmission) to the Tender and Paying Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date, a notice to the effect that such Beneficial Owner wishes to revoke its election to tender some or all of the VRDP Shares that were specified in such Notice of Tender to be purchased (a “Notice of Revocation”). Any Notice of Revocation delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent shall be promptly delivered by Electronic Means by the Tender and Paying Agent to the Liquidity Provider and the Remarketing Agent (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Purchase Date. The Remarketing Agent (following receipt of such Notice of Revocation) shall notify the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider of the number of VRDP Shares specified in such Notice of Revocation that are subject to an agreement of sale pursuant to a Remarketing by Electronic Means not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date. The Tender and Paying Agent shall contact the Remarketing Agent by Electronic Means by 1:45 p.m., New York City time, if such notification has not been received by such time.

4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date. Any such Notice of Revocation shall be effective (without further action on the part of the Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member) as a revocation of the Optional Tender of the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as being sought to be revoked, but (except as set forth below) only if and to the extent that the Remarketing Agent has not entered into an agreement to sell such VRDP Shares. A Notice of Revocation shall be effective as to the number of VRDP Shares specified therein as having been revoked less the number of such VRDP Shares in respect of which the Remarketing Agent has so notified the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider that it has entered into an agreement of sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, tendered VRDP Shares, if any, that remain unsold on the related Purchase Date shall be allocated by the Remarketing Agent to each Notice of Revocation received in respect of VRDP Shares tendered for purchase on such Purchase Date and not already satisfied in the chronological order in which each such Notice of Revocation was received by the Tender and Paying Agent, and each such Notice of Revocation shall be effective only to the extent of such allocation and availability of unsold VRDP Shares.

(iv) In connection with any Special Rate Period designated pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the Board, without the vote or consent of any Holder of VRDP Shares but with prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, in the Notice of Special Rate Period relating to the VRDP Shares, as delivered to the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider, may provide for optional tender provisions relating solely to such Special Rate Period (“Special Optional Tender Provisions”) whereby the minimum number of days’ notice required for an Optional Tender may exceed seven days as specified in the Special Optional Tender Provisions for such Special Rate Period. Designation of a Special Rate Period will be a Mandatory Tender Event.

(d) The Remarketing Agent acknowledges and agrees to the following procedures in connection with a Mandatory Tender:

(i) VRDP Shares are subject to Mandatory Tender upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Tender Event. So long as the VRDP Shares are in book-entry form, any Mandatory Tender will be effected automatically through the book-entry system of the Securities Depository, without any action required on the part of Holders or Beneficial Owners. Promptly following the occurrence of a Mandatory Tender Event, and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter, the Fund, or the Tender and Paying Agent at the direction of the Fund (provided, that the Tender and Paying Agent may require up to two (2) Business Days prior notification by Electronic Means by the Fund), shall provide a Mandatory Tender Notice by Electronic Means to Holders, the Remarketing Agent and the Liquidity Provider, specifying a Purchase Date for all Outstanding VRDP Shares. Any notice given in respect of a Mandatory Tender under the Certificate of Designation will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holders receive such notice.

Remarketing in the event of a successful Remarketing or otherwise by the Liquidity Provider, including any VRDP Shares previously tendered pursuant to an Optional Tender for which the Purchase Date has not yet occurred. In the event that VRDP Shares are issued in certificated form and a Holder of VRDP Shares fails to deliver such VRDP Shares to which a Mandatory Tender relates on or prior to the Purchase Date, the Holder of such VRDP Shares shall not be entitled to any payment (including any accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not earned or declared) other than the Purchase Price of such undelivered VRDP Shares as of the scheduled Purchase Date. Any such undelivered VRDP Shares will be deemed to be delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent, and the Tender and Paying Agent will place stop-transfer orders against the undelivered VRDP Shares. Any moneys held by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of undelivered VRDP Shares will be held in a separate account by the Tender and Paying Agent, will not be invested, and will be held for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of such undelivered VRDP Shares. The undelivered VRDP Shares will be deemed to be no longer Outstanding (except as to entitlement to payment of the Purchase Price), and the Fund will issue to the purchaser replacement VRDP Share certificates.

(e) It is further understood and agreed by and between the parties that, in connection with any attempted Remarketing, all tendered VRDP Shares shall be remarketed at the Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares. The calculation of the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares that are remarketed or purchased by the Liquidity Provider shall be made by the Remarketing Agent in advance of such Remarketing or purchase and, together with the details of the aggregate number and Purchase Price of remarketed VRDP Shares and the aggregate number and Purchase Price of VRDP Shares to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the Purchase Obligation, shall be communicated by the Remarketing Agent to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent by Electronic Means by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Date, as described below. The proceeds of any sale of any remarketed VRDP Shares by the Remarketing Agent relating to tendered VRDP Shares will be used by the Tender and Paying Agent for the purchase of the tendered VRDP Shares at the Purchase Price, and the terms of the sale will provide for the wire transfer of such Purchase Price by the Remarketing Agent to be received by the Tender and Paying Agent no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the related Purchase Date for payment to the Agent Member of the Beneficial Owner, in the case of an Optional Tender, or Holder, in the case of a Mandatory Tender, tendering VRDP Shares for sale through the Securities Depository in immediately available funds against delivery of the tendered VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository, the delivery of such VRDP Shares to the Tender and Paying Agent through the Securities Depository no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date, and the re-delivery of such VRDP Shares by means of “FREE” delivery through the Securities Depository to the Remarketing Agent for delivery to the purchaser’s Agent Member through the Securities Depository by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the relevant Purchase Date.

(f) The Remarketing Agent acknowledges and agrees that, by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding each Purchase Date, the Remarketing Agent shall deliver a notice, in the form attached as Annex I hereto, to the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider (and, at the direction of the Fund, concurrently therewith or as promptly as practicable thereafter, to each Beneficial Owner or Holder tendering VRDP Shares

that are the subject of such notice) (a “Remarketing Notice”), by email transmission or facsimile transmission, that sets forth the number of VRDP Shares, if any, that it successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such sold VRDP Shares and the number of VRDP Shares, if any, not successfully remarketed for purchase on such Purchase Date and the aggregate Purchase Price of such unsold VRDP Shares to be paid by the Liquidity Provider. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date, the Tender and Paying Agent shall promptly, and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) a Preliminary Notice of Purchase that, subject to delivery of the Final Notice of Purchase on the Purchase Date described below, provides for the purchase by the Liquidity Provider of the number of such VRDP Shares that the Remarketing Agent stated in the Remarketing Notice as not having been successfully remarketed, including the aggregate Purchase Price of such VRDP Shares, as calculated by the Remarketing Agent. If the Remarketing Notice states that the Remarketing Agent has not successfully remarketed all of the VRDP Shares to be purchased on such Purchase Date (or if remarketing proceeds for any tendered VRDP Shares have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date), the Tender and Paying Agent shall deliver by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider (with a copy to the Fund) by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such Purchase Date a Final Notice of Purchase that states the number of VRDP Shares required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. For purposes of the Final Notice of Purchase, any tendered VRDP Shares for which remarketing proceeds have not been received for any reason by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date, shall be treated as not having been successfully remarketed and will be required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider. Except for manifest error, the payment obligation of the Liquidity Provider will equal the Purchase Price of the VRDP Shares, stated in the Final Notice of Purchase delivered to the Liquidity Provider, as being required to be purchased by the Liquidity Provider.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the purchase and delivery of tendered VRDP Shares and their Remarketing will be accomplished in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Securities Depository.

(h) At any time after the termination of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement (or with respect to a remarketing of VRDP Shares held by the Liquidity Provider as to which any then-effective Purchase Obligation by a successor liquidity provider is inapplicable), any VRDP Shares unsold in a Remarketing will be returned to the relevant tendering Beneficial Owners or their Agent Members, or the relevant tendering Holders, as the case may be, by the Tender and Paying Agent.

(i) In connection with the allocation of VRDP Shares tendered for Remarketing by the Liquidity Provider and any other holder of VRDP Shares in any Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall allocate those VRDP Shares previously acquired by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to its Purchase Obligation first to any purchasers in a Remarketing (such allocation coming first from those VRDP Shares acquired earliest by the Liquidity Provider).

(j) The Remarketing Agent agrees that if, at any time, Moody’s or Fitch or any Other Rating Agency shall not make available a rating for the VRDP Shares required for the Remarketing Agent to calculate any Maximum Rate, or if both Moody’s and Fitch shall not make available such a rating, the Fund shall select, with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, one or more Other Rating Agencies for such purpose.

(k) The Remarketing Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to meet the timing requirements set forth above. Subject to Section 3(h) hereof, the Remarketing Agent may, in its sole discretion, modify the settlement procedures set forth above with respect to any Remarketing upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent, provided any such modification does not adversely affect the Holders, the Beneficial Owners, the Tender and Paying Agent, the Liquidity Provider or the Fund.

(l) If the Remarketing Agent in its sole discretion decides to purchase unsold VRDP Shares for its own account, on each Purchase Date, the Remarketing Agent will settle such purchase delivery against payment of the Purchase Price for such VRDP Shares to be received by the Tender and Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date. The Remarketing Agent is not obligated to purchase any VRDP Shares that would otherwise remain unsold in a Remarketing.

(m) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that VRDP Shares as to which the Remarketing Agent is the Beneficial Owner may be held by the Remarketing Agent for its own account or for the account of others, and may be remarketed or otherwise sold by the Remarketing Agent. The Remarketing Agent may sell VRDP Shares for its own account outside of a Remarketing at a price other than the Purchase Price.

(n) The Remarketing Agent shall remarket or otherwise offer and sell the VRDP Shares only to Persons that it reasonably believes are “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A. In addition, in the case of VRDP Shares tendered for Remarketing by any Beneficial Owner other than the Liquidity Provider or the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent agrees to remarket the VRDP Shares tendered by such Beneficial Owner only to Persons that also are registered investment companies under the 1940 Act (other than VRDP Shares that the Remarketing Agent in its sole discretion purchases for its own account).

(o) The provisions contained in the Certificate of Designation concerning Special Rate Periods and the notification of a Special Rate Period shall be followed by the Fund and, to the extent applicable, the Remarketing Agent, and the provisions contained therein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions were set forth fully herein.

(p) Whenever the Fund intends to include any net capital gains or other taxable income in any dividend on VRDP Shares, the Fund may notify the Remarketing Agent and Tender and Paying Agent of the amount to be so included (i) not later than 14 calendar days preceding the first Rate Determination Date on which the Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established, and (ii) for any immediately following Rate Determination Date on which the

Applicable Rate for such dividend is to be established, not later than the close of business on the immediately preceding Rate Determination Date. Whenever such advance notice is received from the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent will notify each Holder and the Remarketing Agent shall promptly notify each potential Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member after receipt of such advance notice by the Remarketing Agent.

(q) The Remarketing Agent acknowledges and agrees that, unless the Liquidity Provider notifies the Remarketing Agent of its intention to sell such VRDP Shares outside of a Remarketing pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Fee Agreement, any VRDP Shares held by the Liquidity Provider shall be deemed to have been tendered for Remarketing pursuant to an Optional Tender on each Business Day immediately following the acquisition of such VRDP Shares by the Liquidity Provider, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given in a timely manner.

(r)(i) The Fund and the Remarketing Agent agree that the Fund, with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider and after consultation with the Remarketing Agent, (A) may adjust the Applicable Percentage and the Applicable Spread upward (and if previously adjusted upward, subsequently downward), provided, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Maximum Rate is equal to or higher than the rates determined as set forth in the Certificate of Designation, and immediately following any such increase, the Fund would be in compliance with the Minimum VRDP Shares Asset Coverage and the VRDP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount in the Rating Agency Guidelines of the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies then rating the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund, and (B) in the event of Special Rate Periods of greater than 364 days, may adjust the Maximum Rate upward, provided, that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, immediately following any such increase, the Fund would be in compliance with the Minimum VRDP Shares Asset Coverage and the VRDP Shares Basic Maintenance Amount in the Rating Agency Guidelines of the Rating Agency or Rating Agencies then rating the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Maximum Rate exceed 15%; provided, however, that in the event the Fund has given notification prior to the Applicable Rate Determination for the Rate Period pursuant to the Certificate of Designation that any ordinary income or capital gains will be included in the dividend on VRDP Shares for that Rate Period, the Maximum Rate shall not exceed 15% divided by the quantity 1 minus (i) the maximum marginal regular federal and Pennsylvania personal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income or net capital gains (as applicable) each expressed as a decimal applicable to ordinary income or net capital gains (as applicable), or (ii) the maximum marginal regular federal corporate income tax rate applicable to ordinary income or net capital gains (as applicable), each expressed as a decimal applicable to ordinary income or net capital gains (as applicable), whichever is greater and determined on a weighted average basis in respect of the relative amounts of ordinary income and net capital gains.

(iii) Upon each adjustment to the Applicable Percentage, the Applicable Spread or the Maximum Rate made in accordance with subsection (r)(i) above, the Remarketing Agent shall record promptly on Schedule I to this Agreement each such adjustment, if any, and thereupon provide copies of the updated Schedule I by Electronic Means to each of the Fund, the Liquidity Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent.

Section 3. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Remarketing Agent and the Fund.

(a) The Remarketing Agent hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Fund that it shall, subject to Section 2(m), remarket or otherwise offer and sell the VRDP Shares only to Persons that it reasonably believes are “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in transactions meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and in accordance with the information under the caption “Notice to Investors” in the Offering Memorandum, and that, in connection with each such remarketing or sale, it has taken or will take reasonable steps to ensure that the purchaser of such VRDP Shares is aware that such sale is being made in reliance on Rule 144A.

(b) The Remarketing Agent hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Fund in connection with each Remarketing that no form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) has been or will be used by the Remarketing Agent or any of its representatives in connection with a Remarketing of VRDP Shares, including, but not limited to, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio, or any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(c) The Fund represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Remarketing Agent that the VRDP Shares are not of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) as securities which are listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

(d) The Fund represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Remarketing Agent as of the date hereof, and as of each Purchase Date, that (i) the Fund has made all the filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that are required to be made under the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “1940 Act Regulations”) (collectively, the “1940 Act Documents”), (ii) each 1940 Act Document complies in all material respects with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the 1940 Act Regulations, and each 1940 Act Document did not at the time of filing with the Commission include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) as of each Rate Determination Date after the date hereof, the applicable Remarketing Materials (as defined in Section 7), as amended or supplemented, including any subsequently filed 1940 Act Document on or prior to such Purchase Date (or, if applicable, by any document filed pursuant to the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder), except for any Liquidity Provider Information (as defined in Section 9), will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) The Fund represents, warrants and covenants with the Remarketing Agent that (a) neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf has or will directly or indirectly, make offers or sales of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) under circumstances that would require the registration of the VRDP Shares under the Securities Act, (b) it shall not, and shall not permit its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act) to, make any offer or sale of securities of the Fund of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 under the Securities Act, such offer or sale would, with respect to the VRDP Shares, render invalid the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A thereunder or otherwise, and (c) if at any time the Fund is not furnishing information to the Commission pursuant to the 1940 Act and/or the 1940 Act Regulations to satisfy its filing requirements pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers under Rule 144A, the Fund shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to holders of VRDP Shares and prospective purchasers of VRDP Shares, upon request and for the benefit of holders from time to time of VRDP Shares, information with respect to the Fund satisfying the requirements of subsection (d)(4) of Rule 144A.

(f) It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Remarketing Agent’s obligation to remarket VRDP Shares shall extend to and include any VRDP Shares tendered by the Liquidity Provider as the Beneficial Owner (whether the Liquidity Provider acquired such VRDP Shares pursuant to its Purchase Obligation under the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement or otherwise).

(g) The Fund agrees to notify the Remarketing Agent as soon as practicable after a Failure to Deposit.

(h) Without the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Remarketing Agent shall not modify the settlement procedures as set forth in Section 2 of Part II of the Certificate of Designation as described in Section 2(f) thereof insofar as they affect settlement with the Liquidity Provider.

Section 4. Fees and Expenses. For the performance of its services as Remarketing Agent hereunder, the Fund shall pay to the Remarketing Agent in arrears on the first day of each calendar month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) a monthly fee for each VRDP Share outstanding on the first calendar day of the preceding calendar month, in an amount, rounded upward to the nearest dollar, equal to (a) the product of (i) % times $100,000 multiplied by (ii) the actual number of days from and including such first calendar day of the preceding calendar month to and including the last calendar day of such preceding month or, if applicable, the date of any prior redemption or liquidation for such VRDP Share (as the case may be) divided by (b) 360, provided that, for purposes of calculating the initial fee due on the first day of the calendar month immediately succeeding the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs, such fee shall be calculated based on the VRDP Shares outstanding on the Effective Date and the actual number of days from and including the Effective Date to and including the last calendar day of the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs. The obligation of the Fund to make the payments required by this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until all such payments shall have been made in full.

(a) The Remarketing Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the VRDP Shares by giving 90 days’ prior written notice to the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent and the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 24 of this Agreement and by Electronic Means. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Purchase Obligation is in effect, following notice of a Mandatory Tender Event, the Remarketing Agent may not terminate this Agreement or resign until after the purchase of the VRDP Shares required to be made on the related Purchase Date.

(b) The Fund, with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), may remove the Remarketing Agent with respect to the VRDP Shares by giving at least 60 days’ prior written notice to the Remarketing Agent, the Tender and Paying Agent, if any, and the Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective for an additional 30 days unless the Fund shall have appointed, with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), at least one nationally recognized securities dealer with experience in remarketing variable rate securities as a successor Remarketing Agent for the VRDP Shares and the successor Remarketing Agent shall have entered into a remarketing agreement with the Fund, in form and substance satisfactory to the Fund, in which it shall have agreed to, among other duties, conduct Remarketings in respect of VRDP Shares and determine the Applicable Rate on each Rate Determination Date for the VRDP Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation; provided, further, however, that if the Liquidity Provider is an affiliate of the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent may not be removed unless the Liquidity Provider consents to such removal or the successor Remarketing Agent agrees to purchase any VRDP Shares owned by the Remarketing Agent as of the effective date of such removal at a purchase price equal to the Liquidation Preference thereof plus accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared) to the effective date of such removal.

In each of the occurrences described in clause (a) or (b), the Fund shall use its best efforts to appoint a successor Remarketing Agent for such VRDP Shares and enter into a remarketing agreement with such person as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 6. Dealing in the VRDP Shares. (a) The Remarketing Agent in its sole discretion may purchase for its own account VRDP Shares in a Remarketing; however, the Remarketing Agent shall not be obligated to purchase any VRDP Shares that would otherwise remain unsold in a Remarketing. None of the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent nor the Remarketing Agent shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment to a Beneficial Owner or its Agent Member upon such Beneficial Owner’s tender of its VRDP Shares in a Remarketing unless, in each case, such VRDP Shares were acquired for the account of the Fund, the Tender and Paying Agent or the Remarketing Agent. The Remarketing Agent may exercise any vote or join in any action which any Holder of VRDP Shares may be entitled to exercise or take pursuant to the Certificate of Designation with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. The Remarketing Agent, in its individual capacity, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or have an interest in any financial or other transaction with the Fund as freely as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder.

(b) The Fund acknowledges and agrees, whether or not the Remarketing Agent or any affiliate thereof has advised or is currently advising the Fund on other matters, that in connection with the remarketing of the VRDP Shares and any other duties or obligations of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to and/or as set forth in this Agreement: (a) the Remarketing Agent is not an advisor (including, without limitation, a Municipal Advisor (as such term is defined in Section 975(e) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), an “advisor”) of, and owes no fiduciary duty to, the Fund or any other person, (b) the Remarketing Agent’s duties and obligations to the Fund shall be limited to those contractual duties and obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, and (c) the Fund has consulted with those independent legal, financial and any other advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate in connection with any questions or other issues it might have relating to the remarketing of the VRDP Shares.

(a) The Fund agrees to furnish to the Remarketing Agent: (i) copies of the Offering Memorandum and the Certificate of Designation and its bylaws and any amendment thereto and each report or other document mailed or made available to Holders (including annual reports to shareholders) or filed by the Fund with the Commission (including any documents incorporated therein by reference); (ii) notice of the creation of any subsidiary by the Fund; (iii) notice of the purchase of VRDP Shares by a subsidiary or affiliate of the Fund as soon as the Fund shall become aware of such purchase; (iv) notice of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clause (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) of Section 8 hereof (with the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (b)(iii) to be determined without regard to the opinion of the Remarketing Agent referred to therein); and (v) in connection with a Remarketing, the Offering Memorandum and such other publicly available remarketing information as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request from time to time, including but not limited to the financial condition of the Fund. The Fund agrees to provide the Remarketing Agent with as many copies of the foregoing materials and publicly available information as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request for use in connection with any Remarketing of VRDP Shares and consents to the use thereof for such purpose.

(b) If at any time during the term of this Agreement any event or condition known to the Fund relating to or affecting the Fund or the VRDP Shares shall occur which causes any of the Remarketing Materials or any other materials or information made publicly available by the Fund to include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Fund shall promptly notify the Remarketing Agent in writing of the circumstances and details of such event or condition and the Fund shall promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Remarketing Agent, at the Fund’s expense, a supplement or amendment to the Remarketing Materials describing the circumstances and details of such event or condition.

Section 8. Conditions to Obligations of the Remarketing Agent. The obligations of the Remarketing Agent with respect to VRDP Shares under this Agreement have been undertaken in reliance on, and shall be subject to: (a) the due performance in all material respects by the Fund of its obligations and agreements as set forth in this Agreement (including Sections

3(d) and 7(b) hereof); and (b) the non-occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the rating of the VRDP Shares or the Liquidity Provider shall have been downgraded or withdrawn by an NRSRO after the date hereof, the effect of which, in the reasonable opinion of the Remarketing Agent, is to affect materially and adversely the market price of the VRDP Shares or the Remarketing Agent’s ability to remarket the VRDP Shares; (ii) all of the VRDP Shares shall have been redeemed by the Fund; (iii) without the prior written consent of the Remarketing Agent, the Certificate of Designation, the Charter, or the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement, shall either not be in full force and effect or have been amended in any manner that in the reasonable opinion of the Remarketing Agent materially changes the nature of the VRDP Shares or the remarketing procedures; (iv) legislation, or a decision by a court of the United States shall be rendered, or stop order, ruling, regulation or official statement by, or on behalf of, the Commission or other governmental agency having jurisdiction of the subject matter shall be made, to the effect that the offering or sale of the VRDP Shares is or would be in violation of any provision of the Securities Act as then in effect, or the Exchange Act as then in effect, or with the purpose or effect of otherwise prohibiting the offering or sale of the VRDP Shares, as contemplated hereby, without registration under the Securities Act; (v) any legislation, resolution, ordinance, rule or regulation shall be enacted by, any governmental body, department or agency of the United States or the State of New York, or a decision by any court of competent jurisdiction within the United States or the State of New York shall be rendered, which, in the Remarketing Agent’s reasonable opinion, materially adversely affects the marketability of the VRDP Shares; (vi) additional material restrictions not in force as of the date hereof shall have been imposed upon trading in securities generally by any governmental authority or by any national securities exchange, which, in the Remarketing Agent’s reasonable opinion, would cause the performance of the Remarketing Agent’s obligations hereunder to violate applicable law; (vii) any litigation shall be instituted and be outstanding, to restrain or enjoin the sale or remarketing of the VRDP Shares or in any way protesting or affecting any authority for or the validity of the VRDP Shares or this Agreement, or the existence or powers of the Fund or the Liquidity Provider to perform, as applicable, its obligations hereunder or under the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement; (viii) a general banking moratorium has been declared by federal or New York authorities having jurisdiction, a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement of clearances services or a force majeure event shall have occurred which in the reasonable opinion of the Remarketing Agent materially adversely affects the settlement or clearance of the VRDP Shares; or (ix) a material misstatement or omission in the Remarketing Materials, except for any Liquidity Provider Information, so long as the Liquidity Provider is an affiliate of the Remarketing Agent, has occurred, so that it is not advisable, in the reasonable judgment of the Remarketing Agent, to attempt to remarket the VRDP Shares, provided that the Remarketing Agent, upon identifying any such material misstatement or omission in the Remarketing Materials, shall promptly notify the Fund. In the event of the failure of any such conditions with respect to VRDP Shares, the Remarketing Agent may terminate its obligations under this Agreement with respect to VRDP Shares as provided in Section 10(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Purchase Obligation is in effect, following notice of a Mandatory Tender Event, the foregoing conditions shall not apply and the Remarketing Agent may not terminate this Agreement or resign until after the purchase of the VRDP Shares required to be made on the related Purchase Date, provided that the Remarketing Agent shall not be required to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document if, in the opinion of a nationally recognized outside counsel selected by the Remarketing Agent reasonably acceptable to the Fund and its investment adviser, such performance would violate any applicable laws.

(a) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Remarketing Agent and its respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons” and individually, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any of the Remarketing Materials or the Offering Memorandum or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading (except with respect to the Liquidity Provider Information, or information provided by the Remarketing Agent specifically for use therein), or arise out of, or are based upon, any violation by the Fund of, or any failure by the Fund to perform, any of its obligations under, this Agreement. The Fund agrees to promptly reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action or claim; provided, however, that the Fund shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of the use by the Remarketing Agent of any information that is not contained in the Remarketing Materials. The indemnity agreement in this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability or obligation which the Fund may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to each person, if any, who controls any Indemnified Person within the meaning of the Exchange Act. “Liquidity Provider Information” shall mean the (i) information under the captions “Summary — Liquidity Provider” and “Liquidity Provider” in the Offering Memorandum and (ii) any information in the Remarketing Materials under the caption “Liquidity Provider”, which in each case has been furnished in writing by the Liquidity Provider or its affiliates for inclusion therein.

(b) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against every loss, liability or expense, including without limitation, damages, fines, suits, actions, demands, costs, out-of-pocket expenses, and reasonable legal fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person for or in respect of its (1) execution and delivery of this Agreement, (2) compliance or attempted compliance with or reliance upon any instruction or other direction upon which the Remarketing Agent is authorized to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (3) performance under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Loss resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, violations of law, violations of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the failure of the Remarketing Agent to have the authority to execute, deliver or perform this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Person for or in respect of the failure of the Remarketing Agent to deliver Remarketing Materials during the course of a Remarketing, if such failure is due to the failure by the Fund to provide to the Remarketing Agent such Remarketing Materials for delivery (regardless of whether the Remarketing Agent has requested such Remarketing Materials), notwithstanding that such

failure by the Remarketing Agent to deliver Remarketing Materials during the course of a Remarketing could be deemed a violation of law by an Indemnified Person. The indemnity agreement in this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability or obligation which the Fund may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person.

(c) Each Indemnified Person shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Fund (the “Indemnifying Person”) of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Persons shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. No settlement or compromise of any such action shall be made without the consent of the Indemnifying Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies the Indemnifying Person from which it seeks indemnification of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense thereof so long as its interests are not adverse to those of the Indemnified Person, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and after notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Person will not be liable to such Indemnified Person under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Upon assumption by the Indemnifying Person of the defense of any such action or proceeding, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel but the Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Person has agreed to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall have failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in a timely manner, or (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Fund. If the Indemnifying Person elects not to assume the defense of any such suit, it will reimburse the Indemnified Persons for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. In the event that the parties to any such action (including impleaded parties) include the Indemnifying Person and one or more Indemnified Persons, and one or more Indemnified Persons shall have been advised by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Person that there may be one or more legal defenses available to any of the Indemnified Persons, which are different from, additional to, or in conflict with those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnifying Person will reimburse the Indemnified Persons for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the Indemnified Persons (it being understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (plus local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, which firm shall be designated by the Indemnified Persons, the Remarketing Agent or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be). The Indemnifying Person agrees promptly to notify each Indemnified Person of the

commencement of any litigation or proceedings against it in connection with the remarketing of the VRDP Shares. The Indemnifying Person shall not consent to the terms of any compromise or settlement of any action defended by the Indemnifying Person in accordance with the foregoing without the prior consent of each Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable under this Section 9 for the amount of any compromise or settlement of any action unless such compromise or settlement has been approved in writing by the Indemnifying Person, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in subparagraph (a) of this Section 9 is unavailable, because of limitations imposed by securities laws or for any other reason, to a party that would otherwise have been an Indemnified Person under subparagraph (a) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the party that would have been an Indemnifying Person thereunder shall, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion so that the Remarketing Agent is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the Remarketing Agent’s fee (calculated for a one year period) with respect to the relevant remarketing bears to the aggregate principal amount of the VRDP Shares being remarketed but will not exceed the amount of such fee (calculated for a one year period) and the Fund is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereon referred to above in this subparagraph (e)) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claims (which shall be limited as provided in this subparagraph (f) above if the Indemnifying Person has assumed the defense of any such action in accordance with the provisions thereof).

(f) The indemnity agreements contained in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agent, and shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement and the remarketing of any VRDP Shares hereunder.

(g) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that funds paid by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement are not subject to claims for indemnification made against the Fund under Section 9(a) or 9(b) of this Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall terminate as to the Remarketing Agent and its obligations hereunder with respect to VRDP Shares on the effective date of the resignation or removal of such Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 5(a) and Section 5(b), respectively.

(b) In addition, the Remarketing Agent may terminate this Agreement and all of its obligations hereunder with respect to VRDP Shares, by notifying the Fund, the Liquidity

Provider and the Tender and Paying Agent of its election to do so, if any of the conditions referred to or set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to VRDP Shares have not been met or satisfied in full and such failure shall have continued for a period of 30 days after such Remarketing Agent has given notice thereof to the Fund specifying the condition which has not been met and requiring it to be met; provided, however, that, subject to the last sentence of Section 8, termination of this Agreement with respect to VRDP Shares by the Remarketing Agent after giving the required notices with respect to VRDP Shares shall be immediate in the event of the occurrence and continuation of any event set forth in Section 8(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof with respect to VRDP Shares.

(c) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Remarketing Agent, at the request of the Fund, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to confidentiality restrictions, to deliver to the Fund or any person designated by the Fund information maintained by it with respect to the VRDP Shares in connection with its duties hereunder provided that the Remarketing Agent may retain all or any portion of such information necessary or, in the good faith judgment of the Remarketing Agent, desirable to comply with laws and regulations applicable to the Remarketing Agent and its internal policies.

(a) The duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement, or the Certificate of Designation. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely upon any document furnished to it, which purports to conform to the requirements of this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, as to the truth of the statements expressed in any of such documents. The Remarketing Agent shall be protected in acting upon any document or communication reasonably believed by it to have been signed, presented or made by the proper party or parties. The Remarketing Agent shall incur no liability to the Fund, the Fund’s investment adviser, the Liquidity Provider, the Tender and Paying Agent or to any Beneficial Owner (or its Agent Member) or any Holder of the VRDP Shares in its individual capacity or as Remarketing Agent for any action or failure to act, in connection with its duties under this Agreement and the Certificate of Designation or otherwise, except as a result of its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part.

(b) The Remarketing Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out or caused by the failure of any other party (other than an affiliate of the Remarketing Agent) to provide any notice, statement or document required to be delivered pursuant to any Related Document in connection with performance by the Remarketing Agent of the relevant obligation.

Section 12. Amendment, Supplement or Modification of Agreements. Without the prior written consent of the Remarketing Agent, the Fund will not agree or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, the Fee Agreement, the Tender and Paying Agent Agreement, this Agreement or the Certificate of Designation, nor waive any provision thereof, if such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver would materially adversely affect the interests of the Remarketing Agent, in the

Remarketing Agent’s sole discretion; provided, that, for purposes of this Section 12, any changes or amendments to the rating agency criteria provided in the Certificate of Designation for the VRDP Shares shall not be deemed to materially adversely affect the interests of the Remarketing Agent if immediately following such changes or amendments the VRDP Shares continue to be rated in the highest preferred share ratings category by at least one NRSRO.

Section 13. Books and Records. The Remarketing Agent shall keep such books and records with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder as shall be consistent with prudent industry practice and shall, to the extent permitted by law, make such books and records available for inspection by the Fund on reasonable notice during normal business hours. Any costs and expenses associated with such inspections shall be for the account of the party requesting such inspection.

Section 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

Section 15. Waiver of Jury Trial. The Fund and the Remarketing Agent hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Holder or Beneficial Owner (or their Agent Member) of VRDP Shares shall have or be deemed to have any right in respect of, or shall in any event be entitled to enforce or to seek recourse against any person in respect of, any provision of this Agreement, and any and all rights of holders of VRDP Shares or obligations of the Fund in respect thereof arise only under and as governed solely by the Charter, Certificate of Designation and by-laws as they are in effect from time to time.

Section 26. Confidentiality. All information, whether oral, written, via computer disk or electronic media or otherwise, to which it is given access or is made available to it by the other party (including by such other party’s agents and representatives) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document is referred to as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all technology, processes, trade secrets, contracts, proprietary information, portfolio information, historical and projected financial information, operating data and organizational cost structures, strategic or management plans, customer information and customer lists, whether received before or after the date hereof. Confidential Information shall also include information of or relating to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of a party.

Each party agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence, that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person, other than directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) who have a need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document (the “Transactions”), and that it will not use any such Confidential Information for purposes other than in connection with the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, any Rating Agency rating the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund shall not be deemed to be a Representative for purposes of this Section 26 and will not be subject to the obligations of this Section 26. Each of party agrees to inform its Representatives of the confidential and valuable nature of the Confidential Information and of its obligations under this Section 26. Each party shall be responsible and liable for any breach of this Section 26 by its Representatives. Each party agrees to use reasonable care and implement reasonable controls, but in all events at least the same degree of care and controls that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or availability of Confidential Information.

It is understood and agreed that no information shall be within the protection of this Section 26 where such information: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of either party or its Representatives, (b) is authorized to be released by the disclosing party or (c) is rightly obtained from a third party, who, to the best of the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under obligation of confidentiality. Furthermore, the obligations of confidentiality set out in this Section 26 shall not extend to Confidential Information that is disclosed to Holders or Beneficial Owners or potential Holders or Beneficial Owners, in each case in their capacity as such, in the Remarketing Memorandum or the Remarketing Materials, in notices to Holders or Beneficial Owners pursuant to one or more of the Related Documents or pursuant to the Fund’s or the Liquidity Provider’s informational obligations under Rule 144A(d)(4) or other reporting obligation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the event that either party to this Agreement or any of its Representatives become legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, regulatory request or demand, civil investigative demand or similar process (“Legal Process”)) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such party may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent legally required; provided, however, that such party shall: (a) first notify the other party of such legal process, unless such notice is prohibited by statute, regulatory request, rule or court order, (b) attempt to obtain such other party’s consent to such disclosure, and (c) in the event consent is not given, not object to the filing of a motion to quash, or other similar procedural step, seeking protection against the production of publication of Confidential Information. In making any disclosure under such legal process, each of party agrees to use all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidential nature of such information. Nothing herein shall require a part to fail to honor any Legal Process on a timely basis.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated, or at any time upon request, each party agrees to return promptly or destroy all copies of the Confidential Information without retaining any copies thereof and to destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by it or for its use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information. Provided however each party will be permitted to retain all or any portion or the Confidential Information to comply with its governing laws, regulations or internal policies. Such Confidential Information shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 26.

Inasmuch as any breach of this Section 26 may result in immediate and irreparable injury, it is recognized and agreed that each party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available at law. Further, all obligations, rights and remedies hereunder shall survive any return or destruction of the Confidential Information and any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that all obligations, rights and remedies hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect for one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement.

It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Section 26 shall operate as a waiver hereof, 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 under this Section 26.

Each party agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to persons other than the Representatives that Confidential Information has been made available to it and that it has inspected any portion of such Confidential Information (the term “person” to be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any individual, corporation, company, group, partnership or other entity).

Each party hereby acknowledges that it is aware, and that it will advise such of its directors, officers, employees and other Representatives who are permitted to receive Confidential Information hereunder, that the United States securities laws prohibit any person, who has received material non-public information from an issuer which has public securities outstanding, from (i) purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or (ii) communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.

Section 27. Personal Liability. This Agreement is executed by or on behalf of the trustees of the Fund solely in their capacity as such trustees, and shall not constitute their personal obligation either jointly or severally in their individual capacities. In accordance with the Charter, no trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Fund shall be held to any personal liability, nor shall resort be had to their private property for the satisfaction of any obligation or claim or otherwise under this Agreement and the Fund shall be solely liable therefor; all parties hereto shall look solely to the Fund property for the payment of any claim, or the performance of any obligation, hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf by one of its duly authorized officers as of the date first above written.

Reference is hereby made to the LEARS Fee Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2010, by and between BlackRock MuniYield Pennsylvania Quality Fund (the “Fund”) and Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as amended on May 17, 2011 (as so amended, the “Fee Agreement”). Section 6.05 of the Fee Agreement provides that the Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a long-term credit rating of the Fund’s variable rate demand preferred shares (the “VRDP Shares”) of “Aaa” by Moody’s and a long-term issue credit rating of the Fund’s VRDP Shares of “AAA” by Fitch (or the highest equivalent ratings category for preferred stock furnished by at least two Rating Agencies).

The Fund understands that Citibank intends to waive the Fund’s obligation under Section 6.05 of the Fee Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to maintain a long-term credit rating of “Aaa” by Moody’s. This letter confirms that the Fund will no longer be required to comply with Section 6.05 of the Fee Agreement, and that the Fund will instead use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a long-term credit rating of the Fund’s VRDP Shares of at least “Aa3” by Moody’s and a long-term issue credit rating of the Fund’s VRDP Shares of “AAA” by Fitch (or the highest equivalent ratings category for preferred stock furnished by at least two Rating Agencies).

The Fee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, except as modified by this letter. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Fee Agreement.

This letter shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic law of the State of New York, and Citibank and the Fund hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and New York State courts located in The City of New York in connection with any dispute related to this letter or any matters contemplated hereby.

Please acknowledge and agree to the foregoing by signing the enclosed copy of this letter in the space provided below and returning the executed copy to the Fund. This letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument binding upon all of the parties hereto notwithstanding the fact that all parties are not signatory to the original or the same counterpart. For purposes of this letter, facsimile signatures shall be deemed originals.

(i) the election of the two members of the Board of Trustees for which Holders of VRDP Shares are exclusively entitled to vote under Section 18(a)(2)(C) of the 1940 Act and all other rights given to Holders of VRDP Shares with respect to the election of the Board of Trustees of the Fund;

(e) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.01, upon the transfer of VRDP Shares during the Special Rate Period by Citibank to any third party (other than a transfer to an Affiliate of Citibank, in which case such VRDP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement), such VRDP Shares shall no longer be subject to the Voting Trust Agreement; provided, however, in connection with an Excluded Transfer:

(i) of the type specified in clause (1) of the definition of Excluded Transfer, the VRDP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement until such time as the Fund, upon the request of Citibank, enters into a voting arrangement satisfying Section 12(d)(1)(E)(iii) of the 1940 Act;

(ii) of the type specified in clauses (3) or (4) of the definition of Excluded Transfer, to the extent Citibank retains the right to vote or direct voting in connection with such transactions, the VRDP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement until such time as there is a default by Citibank under the related repurchase transaction or collateral pledge arrangement; and

(iii) of the type specified in clauses (3) or (4) of the definition of Excluded Transfer, to the extent Citibank does not retain the right to vote or direct voting of such VRDP Shares in such transactions, such transactions do not permit the removal of the VRDP Shares’ rights transferred to the Voting Trust from the Voting Trust Agreement within the first 60 days of closing of such transferee becoming the Beneficial Owner of such VRDP Shares unless there is a default by Citibank under the related repurchase transaction or collateral pledge arrangement.

(f) Without the prior written consent of the Fund, Citibank will not agree or consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or repeal of the Voting Trust Agreement, nor waive any provision thereof, if any such amendment, supplement, modification, repeal or waiver would (i) adversely affect the conveyance into the voting trust governed by the Voting Trust Agreement of all Voting Rights in respect of the VRDP Shares beneficially owned by Citibank or its Affiliates or the voting of such VRDP Shares in accordance with the Voting Trust Agreement and this Agreement or (ii) terminate, replace or change the Voting Consultant (as defined in the Voting Trust Agreement) or the Trustee, in each case in effect at the start of the

Special Rate Period; provided that, in the case of any proposed amendment, supplement, modification or repeal of the Voting Trust Agreement which is a result of a change in law or regulation or in the case of any termination, replacement or change of the Voting Consultant or the Trustee, the consent of the Fund shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and the consent of the Fund shall otherwise be in its sole discretion.

(a) Citibank shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the VRDP Shares owned (legally or beneficially) by it during the Special Rate Period without the prior consent of the Fund, unless any such sale, transfer or disposition is made in accordance with Section 3.02(b) of this Amendment and the terms of the Notice of Special Rate Period.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.03 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement or Section 2(n) of the VRDP Shares Remarketing Agreement, subject to paragraph (f) below, during the Special Rate Period, Citibank may sell any or all of the VRDP Shares owned by it only to Persons that Citibank reasonably believes are either (i) QIBs that are registered closed-end management investment companies, the common shares of which are traded on a national securities exchange (“Closed-End Funds”), banks, insurance companies, companies that are included in the S&P 500 Index (and their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries) or registered open-end management investment companies or (ii) tender option bond trusts (whether tax-exempt or taxable) in which all investors are Persons that Citibank reasonably believes are QIBs that are Closed-End Funds, banks, insurance companies, companies that are included in the S&P 500 Index (and their direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries) or registered open-end management investment companies (or, in the case of a tender option bond trust in which an Affiliate of Citibank retains a residual interest, an Affiliate of Citibank that is a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Citigroup, Inc.), in each case, pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The foregoing restrictions on transfer shall not apply to any VRDP Shares that may be registered in the future under the Securities Act or any subsequent transfer of such VRDP Shares thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall have the right of first refusal in accordance with the Right of First Refusal Procedures on all proposed transfers of Outstanding VRDP Shares from Citibank or an Affiliate thereof (other than an Excluded Transfer) to an unaffiliated third party which will upon settlement result in such unaffiliated third party holding and having purchased directly or indirectly in a series of related transactions (with the actual knowledge of Citibank) from Citibank (or Citibank’s Affiliates in the aggregate), more than 25% of the Outstanding VRDP Shares; provided, that the foregoing right of first refusal shall apply in connection with the transfer of the residual interests in a tender option bond trust or the equity or residual interests of any other entity formed by Citibank or Citibank’s Affiliates to hold the VRDP Shares that results in the indirect transfer of more than 25% of the voting rights of the Outstanding VRDP Shares to an unaffiliated third party (other than an Excluded Transfer); provided, further, that in the case of a transfer of a residual interest in a tender options bond trust, the right of first refusal will apply to the residual interests and not the VRDP Shares. Any transfer in violation of this Section 3.02 shall be void ab initio.

(c) In connection with the right of first refusal set forth in Section 3.02(b) of this Amendment, the following procedures shall apply (the “Right of First Refusal Procedures”):

(i) Citibank shall notify the Fund by Electronic Means of any proposed sale of VRDP Shares which would entitle the Fund to exercise its right of first refusal and such notification shall include the name and contact information of the prospective purchaser, the number of VRDP Shares subject to the proposed sale and the proposed sale price;

(ii) if the Fund wishes to exercise its right of first refusal, Citibank must be notified of such election by the Fund by Electronic Means within three Business Days after delivery of notice from Citibank pursuant to subparagraph (i) above (not counting the day of delivery), and the price to be paid by the Fund with respect to such transfer will be the lesser of the (x) Liquidation Preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends and (y) the proposed sale price to the unaffiliated third party, provided, however, the price to be paid by the Fund with respect to any sale of the residual interests in a tender option bond trust or any sale of VRDP Shares by any tender option bond trust to anyone other than Citibank or Citibank’s affiliates shall be at the proposed sale price;

(iii) the exercise of the right of first refusal by the Fund pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above shall be deemed to be the trade date for the purchase of the VRDP Shares by the Fund from Citibank and the sale shall settle within 30 days after such trade date or, if the 30^th day after such trade date is not a Business Day, then the next Business Day after such 30^th day;

(iv) if Citibank does not receive an affirmative response from the Fund pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above within the required time frame, such right of first refusal shall be deemed rejected by the Fund;

(v) any VRDP Shares purchased by the Fund pursuant to its exercise of the right of first refusal in subparagraph (ii) above shall not be subject to the limitations of Section 6.15 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, provided such VRDP Shares shall be cancelled by the Fund within one Business Day after settlement of such purchase to the extent the Fund, together with the Investment Adviser and accounts or entities over which the Fund or the Investment Adviser exercises discretionary authority, owns or controls in the aggregate more than 25% of the Outstanding VRDP Shares; and

(vi) all purchases of VRDP Shares pursuant to the Fund’s right of first refusal shall be made only out of legally available funds for the redemption of shares of the Fund under Applicable Law and the Statement and otherwise in accordance with Applicable Law and the Statement.

(d) In the event that Citibank transfers during the Special Rate Period, in accordance with Section 3.02(a) of this Amendment, VRDP Shares to a tender option bond trust in which Citibank (or an Affiliate of Citibank) retains a residual interest, for so long as no event

has occurred that results in the termination of such tender option bond trust, for purposes of each provision of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, including this Amendment, that requires, permits or provides for (i) notice or the delivery of information to the Liquidity Provider or Citibank, (ii) voting of the VRDP Shares by or the giving of any consent by the Liquidity Provider or Citibank or (iii) the payment of fees to the Liquidity Provider or Citibank (collectively, the “Applicable Sections”), then Citibank, and not such tender option bond trust, shall be deemed to be the actual holder and Beneficial Owner of such VRDP Shares.

(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except with respect to the deemed holding and ownership provided for above in respect of the Applicable Sections, any tender option bond trust to which VRDP Shares are transferred during the Special Rate Period and each of the beneficial owners thereof shall, subject to the provisions of the agreements governing the tender option bond trust, retain all of its other rights in respect of the VRDP Shares under the Statement or Applicable Law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, its rights in respect of matters addressed by any of the Applicable Sections to the extent necessary for the protection or exercise of such other rights retained pursuant to this Section 3.02(e) or that are otherwise applicable as a result of the exercise of such other rights.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with the extension of, or the failure to extend, the Initial Extended Termination Date in accordance with the terms of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement, any VRDP Shares beneficially owned by Citibank or any of its Affiliates will be deemed automatically tendered for Remarketing and, if not successfully remarketed, will be deemed owned by the Liquidity Provider and subject to redemption, on the terms set forth in the Notice of Special Rate Period and in the Related Documents.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 6.05 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, during the Special Rate Period, the Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a long-term preferred share rating of the VRDP Shares by at least two Rating Agencies, provided that the Fund shall not be required to maintain such ratings at any specific ratings category level.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5(d) of the Statement, the Board of Trustees of the Fund, without the approval of the Liquidity Provider or Citibank, may terminate the services of any Rating Agency then providing a rating for the VRDP Shares and replace it with another NRSRO, provided that the Fund provides seven (7) days’ notice by Electronic Means to the Liquidity Provider or Citibank prior to terminating the services of a Rating Agency and replacing it with another NRSRO that, at the time of such replacement has (i) published a rating for the VRDP Shares and (ii) entered into an agreement with the Fund to continue to publish such rating subject to such NRSRO’s customary conditions.

(c)(i) The Board of Trustees of the Fund, without the approval of the Liquidity Provider or Citibank, may terminate the services of any Rating Agency then providing a rating for the VRDP Shares without replacement, provided that (A) the Fund has given the Tender and Paying Agent, and such terminated Rating Agency and the Liquidity Provider or Citibank at least 45 calendar days’ advance written notice of such termination of services, (B) the Fund is in compliance with the Rating Agency Provisions of such terminated Rating Agency at the time the

notice required in the preceding clause (A) is given and at the time of the termination of such Rating Agency’s services, and (C) the VRDP Shares continue to be rated by at least two Rating Agencies at and after the time of the termination of such Rating Agency’s services.

(ii) On the date that the notice is given as described in clause (A) of the preceding Section 3.03(c)(i) and on the date that the services of the applicable Rating Agency are terminated, the Fund shall provide the Tender and Paying Agent and such terminated Rating Agency with an officers’ certificate as to the compliance with the provisions of the preceding Section 3.03(c)(i).

(d) In the event that during the Special Rate Period a Rating Agency ceases to furnish a preferred share rating or the Fund terminates a Rating Agency in accordance with Section 3.03(b) or Section 3.03(c) of this Amendment, the Fund shall no longer be required to comply with the applicable Rating Agency Provisions of the Rating Agency so ceasing to furnish a preferred share rating or so terminated and, as applicable, the Fund shall be required to thereafter comply only with the Rating Agency Provisions of each Rating Agency then providing a rating for the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund, and any credit rating of such terminated Rating Agency, to the extent it would have been taken into account in any of the provisions for such VRDP Shares during the Special Rate Period, shall be disregarded, and only the credit ratings of the Rating Agencies then providing a rating for the VRDP Shares shall be taken into account for purposes of the VRDP Shares, provided that, for purposes of determining the SRP Applicable Rate applicable to a SRP Calculation Period, any designation of a Rating Agency after the SRP Calculation Date for such SRP Calculation Period will take effect on or as of the next succeeding SRP Calculation Date.

(a) The Fund agrees that, during the Special Rate Period and so long as Citibank or any Affiliate is the beneficial owner of any Outstanding VRDP Shares, it will deliver, or direct the Tender and Paying Agent to deliver, to Citibank:

(i) on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month (each a “Portfolio Reporting Date”), the information set forth in Appendix B to this Amendment as of the end of the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Portfolio Reporting Date;

(ii) on each Monday, provided that if a Monday is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day, the information set forth in Appendix C to this Amendment and a calculation of the Effective Leverage Ratio and the Minimum VRDP Shares Asset Coverage of the Fund, in each case, as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(iii) upon the failure of the Fund to maintain the Minimum VRDP Asset Coverage as required by Section 6 of Part I of the Statement or the Effective Leverage Ratio as required by Section 6.18 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement, notice of such failure within one (1) Business Day of the occurrence thereof.

(b) Section 6.01(g) of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement shall be inapplicable with respect to any amendments of the Related Documents that has been consented to by the Liquidity Provider.

The Liquidity Provider agrees that offers and sales will be made only to QIBs, pursuant to Rule 144A or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

(b) In order to facilitate the sale of LEARS by the Liquidity Provider, the Fund and the Liquidity Provider agree to timely make available their respective Remarketing Materials for inclusion in any Remarketing Memorandum.

(a) As of the opening of business on the day following the Liquidity Provider’s receipt of written notice (which the Fund will cause to be given) of any redemption or other repurchase of LEARS consummated by the Fund, the Available Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the amount applicable to the LEARS so redeemed or otherwise repurchased; and the Available Commitment in respect of such LEARS shall be extinguished and shall not thereafter be revived, except with the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to expand the terms of the Purchase Obligation.

(b) In the event that any dividends or redemption proceeds paid by the Fund on Outstanding LEARS prior to the occurrence of a Fund Insolvency Event are required to be, and are, paid over to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of a Fund Insolvency Event, any Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of LEARS that has paid over to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund pursuant to such judgment any dividends or redemption proceeds previously received from the Fund may demand reimbursement from the Liquidity Provider of any amounts so paid. The

Liquidity Provider agrees to make such reimbursement payment within three Business Days of receipt of any such demand for payment made in writing and accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Liquidity Provider of payment made to the bankruptcy estate of the Fund by or on behalf of the demanding party. In connection with any reimbursement payment by the Liquidity Provider, the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) of LEARS shall be deemed to have transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Liquidity Provider the right to receive from the Fund and the bankruptcy estate of the Fund any such dividends or redemption proceeds in exchange for the reimbursement payment by the Liquidity Provider, and the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further conveyances, assignments and other documents as the Liquidity Provider may reasonably request and are reasonably necessary in order to effectuate such assignment. The provisions of this Section 2.04 shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement, in respect of any dividends or redemption proceeds paid by the Fund on Outstanding LEARS during the term of this Agreement, and shall be in addition to any other obligation of the Liquidity Provider under this Agreement.

(a) The Fund shall pay the Liquidity Provider from February 1, 2011 to and including the earlier to occur of (i) the Drop Dead Date and (ii) the Effective Date, a fee at a rate of % per annum of $ . Such fee is payable upon presentment of an invoice from the Liquidity Provider on the earlier of the Drop Dead Date and the Effective Date. The fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) The Fund shall pay to the Liquidity Provider from the Effective Date to and including the date on which the Purchase Obligation under the LEARS Purchase Agreement for all LEARS has terminated, a fee at the rate of % per annum of % of the daily average aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding LEARS.

With respect to the fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), such fee shall be invoiced by the Liquidity Provider and shall be payable monthly with the first monthly fee due on the Effective Date and thereafter in advance 15 calendar days prior to the beginning of the month to which such payment relates, and upon the date of termination of this Agreement, unless such payment date is a Dividend Payment Date, in which case such fee shall be paid on the Business Day immediately preceding such payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the Effective Date occurs prior to the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the beginning of the immediately succeeding month, the fee for the period from the Effective Date to and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs shall be paid on the Effective Date and (ii) if the Effective Date occurs on or after the date that is 15 calendar days prior to the beginning of the immediately succeeding month, (1) the fee for the period from the Effective Date to and including the last day of the calendar month in which the Effective Date occurs and (2) the fee for such immediately succeeding month shall, in each case, be paid on the Effective Date. Each advance monthly fee payment shall include a pro forma amount, calculated using the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the LEARS Outstanding and the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Purchased LEARS, if any, and the per annum fee rate in effect, as

of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment, which amount (except in the case of the initial monthly fee) shall be increased or decreased, in each case if applicable, by an amount equal to the amount necessary to reflect any differences in the actual fee payable relative to the pro forma fee amount included in the immediately preceding monthly fee payment, as a result of differences in the actual daily average aggregate Liquidation Preference of the Outstanding LEARS and the actual daily average aggregate Liquidation Preference of Purchased LEARS, for the period to which the immediately preceding monthly fee payment related, relative to the amounts used for the pro forma calculation referred to above. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any optional redemption of LEARS during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the initial Scheduled Termination Date, on the related Redemption Date the Fund shall pay to the Liquidity Provider a make-whole amount equal to the fee that would otherwise have been payable in respect of such redeemed LEARS for the remainder of such period calculated as if such LEARS remained Outstanding and not purchased by the Liquidity Provider during such remaining period. The fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

The Fund shall pay amounts due to be paid by it hereunder (including any incidental expenses but not including redemption or dividend payments on the LEARS) as operating expenses.

(a) To the extent set forth in clauses (b) and (c) below, all “Sums Payable Hereunder” shall be paid in full, without any deduction or withholding whatsoever. For purposes of this Section 2.07, “Sums Payable Hereunder” shall mean amounts payable by the Fund hereunder (or under any agreement referenced herein or part of a common transaction herewith), whether of fees, expenses or otherwise (but excluding any sums payable with respect to LEARS of liquidation preference or dividends whether in connection with a Failed Remarketing Condition —Purchased LEARS Redemption or otherwise).

(b) If any change in applicable law, regulation, condition or directive applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in this Agreement and the LEARS Purchase Agreement (including any request, guideline or policy whether or not having the force of law (which the Liquidity Provider, in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, complies with) and including, without limitation, Regulation D promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time hereafter in effect but excluding, changes in tax laws) or interpretation thereof by any authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof with respect to the regulation of national banks occurs after the date hereof which:

(i) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve or deposit or similar requirements against any assets held by or in connection with the Liquidity Provider’s commitment to provide the Purchase Obligation or this Agreement (or any agreement referenced herein or part of a common transaction herewith); or

(ii) imposes upon the Liquidity Provider any other condition with respect to Sums Payable Hereunder or amounts payable by the Liquidity Provider with respect to this Agreement (or any agreement referenced herein or part of a common transaction herewith) or its commitment to provide the Purchase Obligation; and the result of any of the foregoing is (x) to increase the cost to the Liquidity Provider of entering into or performing this Agreement (or any agreement referenced herein or part of a common transaction herewith), making any payment pursuant to its Purchase Obligation or maintaining its commitment to provide the Purchase Obligation, (y) to reduce the amount of any Sums Payable Hereunder to the Liquidity Provider or (z) to require the Liquidity Provider to make any payment to a regulatory or governmental authority on or calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum received by it, in each case by an amount which the Liquidity Provider deems material, then:

(1) the Liquidity Provider shall promptly notify the Fund in writing of the happening of such event;

(2) the Liquidity Provider shall promptly deliver to the Fund a certificate stating in reasonable detail the change which has occurred or the reserve requirements or other conditions which have been imposed on the Liquidity Provider or the request, direction or requirement with which it has complied, together with the date thereof, the amount of such increased cost, reduction or payment and the way in which such amount has been calculated; and

(3) the Fund shall within thirty (30) days after demand and the Fund’s receipt of the certificate described in subclause (2) above pay to the Liquidity Provider such an amount or amounts as will compensate the Liquidity Provider for such additional cost, reduction or payment as set forth on such certificate.

The reasonably detailed certificate of the Liquidity Provider prepared in good faith, signed by a senior officer of the Liquidity Provider, as to the additional amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph delivered to the Fund shall be conclusive and binding on the Fund absent manifest error of the amount thereof. In the event any such amounts paid by the Fund are subsequently refunded to the Liquidity Provider by the authority imposing such costs, the Liquidity Provider will reimburse the Fund for such amounts to the extent they are refunded to the Liquidity Provider, but without interest; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that the Liquidity Provider has no duty or obligation to contest the imposition of or seek the recovery of any such costs.

For the avoidance of doubt, no payment will be due under this subsection in respect of a cost arising solely out of the ownership of LEARS after performance by the Liquidity Provider of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) If any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, in each case adopted after the date hereof, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Liquidity Provider (or any of its branches) with any request or directive made after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Liquidity Provider’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (or any agreement referenced herein or part of a common transaction herewith) or under its commitment to provide the Purchase Obligation or the transactions referenced herein or contemplated hereby to a level below that which the Liquidity Provider could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Liquidity Provider’s policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Liquidity Provider to be material, then, within thirty (30) days of demand by the Liquidity Provider and receipt by the Fund of a certificate stating in reasonable detail the basis on which such amount was determined, the amount requested and the way in which such amount has been calculated, the Fund shall pay to the Liquidity Provider such additional amount or amounts determined by the Liquidity Provider set forth on such certificate as will compensate the Liquidity Provider for such reduced rate of return. The reasonably detailed certificate of the Liquidity Provider prepared in good faith, signed by a senior officer of the Liquidity Provider, as to the additional amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph delivered to the Fund shall be conclusive and binding on the Fund absent manifest error of the amount thereof.

(d) With respect to the Liquidity Provider’s claim for any compensation under this Section 2.07, the Fund shall not be required to compensate the Liquidity Provider for any amount incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that the Liquidity Provider notifies the Fund of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referenced above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

The representations and warranties set out in this Article IV are given hereunder by the Fund on the Closing Date (in respect of Section 4.01 to Section 4.06 (inclusive), Section 4.09 and Section 4.10) and as of the Effective Date and each date subsequent to the date thereof, except that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.07, Section 4.08, Section 4.11, Section 4.12 and Section 4.13 shall be given only on the Effective Date, and, in the case of Section 4.07, on each date subsequent to the Effective Date on which the Offering Memorandum is provided to Holders or potential Holders of LEARS.

This Agreement, the LEARS Tender and Paying Agent Agreement and the LEARS Remarketing Agreement, if executed and delivered on the date this representation is made, constitute valid and binding agreements of the Fund, or, if not yet executed and delivered, will, when executed and delivered, constitute valid and binding agreements of the Fund, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability, it being understood that the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be subject to limitations imposed under applicable securities laws.

In addition, the Fund will not, without the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, which prior written consent shall be determined in the Liquidity Provider’s good faith discretion, designate or approve of: (i) the designation of any Special Rate Period pursuant to Section 4(a) of Part I of the Statement; (ii) any change to the Dividend Payment Dates or Dividend Periods in respect of any Minimum Rate Periods pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) of Part I of the Statement; (iii) any change to the definition of Applicable Rate, Applicable Spread or Maximum Rate, as each is defined in the Definitions section of the Statement; (iv) any change to the Dividend Payment Dates in respect of any Special Rate Period consisting of more than seven Rate Period Days pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) of Part I of the Statement; (v) the authorization, creation or issuance of any class or series of shares ranking prior to or on a parity with the LEARS with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Fund, or the authorization, creation or issuance of additional shares of any series of LEARS in accordance with Section 5(c)(i)(a) of Part I of the Statement; (vi) unless the LEARS are redeemed in full prior to the conversion, the conversion of the Fund from a closed-end to an open-end investment company pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii)(A) of Part I of the Statement; (vii) any plan of reorganization of the Fund pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii)(B) of Part I of the Statement; (viii) the inclusion of Special Redemption Provisions in the Notice of Special Rate Period as described in Section 10(a)(ii) of Part I of the Statement; (ix) the modification of the procedures for redemption as described in Section 10(j) of Part I of the Statement; (x) any amendment to the Statement in connection with the issuance of additional LEARS or the issuance of an additional series of LEARS pursuant to Section 13(a) of Part I of the Statement; (xi) the selection of one or more Other Rating Agencies; (xii) any change to the Fund’s investment objectives, as described in the Offering Memorandum, requiring the approval of the holders of a “majority of the Outstanding” (as defined in the 1940 Act) Common Shares and Preferred Shares, including the LEARS, voting as a separate class; or (xiii) the appointment of a LIBOR Dealer (as defined in the Definitions section of the Statement) from time to time.

SECTION 6.03. Notices and Consents Regarding Remarketing Agent and the Tender and Paying Agent.

The Fund shall not, without the Liquidity Provider’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), appoint any Person other than the Person defined herein as the Tender and Paying Agent to perform the duties of the Tender and Paying Agent or the Person identified in Schedule I to perform the duties of the Remarketing Agent, in each case in respect of the LEARS.

The Fund shall continue to maintain its existence as a business trust under the laws of the State of Massachusetts, with full right and power to issue the LEARS and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Related Document.

The Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to maintain a long-term credit rating of the LEARS of Aaa by Moody’s and a long-term issue credit rating of the LEARS of AAA by Fitch (or the highest equivalent ratings category for preferred stock furnished by at least two Rating Agencies).

The Fund will qualify as a Regulated Investment Company within the meaning of Section 851(a) of the Code and the dividends made with respect to the LEARS will qualify as tax exempt dividends to the extent designated by the Fund.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption in Section 6.21 below, if a Notice of Redemption of LEARS has been provided in accordance with the Statement, the Fund shall have available Deposit Securities or shall deposit with the Tender and Paying Agent, on the day such Notice of Redemption is provided to Holders, an aggregate amount of Deposit Securities with a Market Value sufficient to redeem the LEARS that are the subject of such notice as provided in the Statement.

The Fund shall promptly pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable by it hereunder and under the LEARS Tender and Paying Agent Agreement and the LEARS Remarketing Agreement, according to the terms hereof or thereof, shall take such actions as may be necessary to include all payments hereunder which are subject to appropriation in its budget and make full appropriations related thereto, and shall duly perform each of its obligations under this Agreement, the LEARS Tender and Paying Agent Agreement and the LEARS Remarketing Agreement. All payments of any sums due hereunder shall be made in the amounts required hereunder without any reduction or setoff, notwithstanding the assertion of any right of recoupment or setoff or of any counterclaim by the Fund.

The Fund shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations that may be applicable to it if the failure to comply could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to pay when due and otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement, any of the LEARS, and the other Related Documents.

The Fund shall at all times maintain in effect, renew and comply with all the terms and conditions of all consents, filings, licenses, approvals and authorizations as may be necessary under any applicable law or regulation for its execution, delivery and performance of this

Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party, except to the extent not doing so would not have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s ability to pay when due and otherwise perform its obligations under this Agreement, any of the LEARS or any other Related Documents.

The Fund shall, at any reasonable time and from time to time, upon at least five (5) Business Days advance written notice provided to the Fund, permit the Liquidity Provider or any agents or representatives thereof, at the Fund’s expense, to examine the records and books of account related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the Fund shall provide copies of such records and accounts reasonably requested by the Liquidity Provider, to the extent necessary, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidity Provider, to comply with laws and regulations applicable to the Liquidity Provider and its internal audit requirements), to visit its properties and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with any of its officers and independent accountants, provided, however, that the Fund shall not be required to pay for more than one inspection per fiscal year. The Fund will not unreasonably withhold its authorization for its independent accountants to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with the Liquidity Provider.

The Fund shall not create or incur or suffer to be incurred or to exist any lien on any other funds, accounts or other property held under the Charter, except (a) as permitted by the Charter or liens arising by operation of law for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies and liens arising in the ordinary course of business by operation of law and not securing indebtedness, in each case that (x) are not yet due and payable or (y) are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Fund has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and (b) except for any lien of the Custodian with respect to the payment of its fees or repayment for its advances, any lien that may be incurred in connection with the Fund’s use of tender option bonds, futures and forward start swaps and other derivative transactions, and any lien that may be incurred in connection with the Fund’s use of alternative forms of leverage for purposes of redeeming all of the Outstanding LEARS, provided that the Fund delivers all of the proceeds raised from the alternative leverage to the Tender and Paying Agent for the purpose of redeeming the LEARS, issues a notice of redemption for the LEARS on the day it receives such cash and redeems such LEARS as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms of the Statement and that all such proceeds so delivered to the Tender and Paying Agent shall not be subject to any lien so incurred in connection with the Fund’s use of alternative forms of leverage.

The Fund shall give prompt notice in writing to the Liquidity Provider of any litigation, administrative proceeding or business development which, if adversely determined, may

materially adversely affect its business, properties or affairs and reasonably would impair the ability of the Fund to perform its obligations as set forth hereunder or under any of the Related Documents to which it is a party.

The Fund shall maintain its valid registration as a registered closed-end company under the 1940 Act in full force and effect.

The Fund shall not permit or cause to be permitted the Investment Adviser, affiliated persons of the Investment Adviser (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) (other than the Fund, in the case of a purchase of LEARS which are to be cancelled within 10 days of purchase by the Fund), and Persons over which the Investment Adviser, or affiliated persons (as defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) of the Investment Adviser, exercise discretionary investment or voting authority (other than the Fund, in the case of a purchase of LEARS which are to be cancelled within 10 days of purchase by the Fund), to purchase LEARS without the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, and any such purchases without such consent shall be void ab initio; provided, however, that the Fund shall give prompt notice to Beneficial Owners by Electronic Means upon any of the foregoing Persons, singly or in the aggregate, acquiring a beneficial interest in 20% or more of the LEARS; provided, further, that, without regard to the preceding requirements, purchases of LEARS may be made by broker-dealers that are affiliated persons of the Investment Adviser in riskless principal transactions with respect to such purchases of LEARS.

The Fund shall make investments only in Eligible Assets in accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives and the investment policies set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider (such consent to be determined in the Liquidity Provider’s good faith discretion), the Fund (1) will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in investment grade securities that, at the time of investment, are rated within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better) by at least one NRSRO or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Investment Adviser; (2) may invest up to 20% of its Managed Assets in municipal securities that, at the time of investment, are rated below investment grade or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Investment Adviser; and (3) will not invest in any non-municipal securities that, at the time of investment, are rated below Baa3 or BBB-.

Unless the Fund receives the prior written consent of the Liquidity Provider, the Fund’s Effective Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 45%; provided, however in the event that the Fund’s Effective Leverage Ratio exceeds 45% (i) solely by reason of fluctuations in the market value of its portfolio securities, in such event and to the extent the Effective Leverage Ratio exceeds 46% and (ii) in any event other than an event described in the immediately preceding clause (i), the Fund shall cause its Effective Leverage Ratio to be 45% or lower within 15 Business Days (“Effective Leverage Ratio Cure Period”).

SECTION 6.19. Engagement of Remarketing Agent and Tender and Paying Agent.

The Fund will use its best efforts to engage at all times a Remarketing Agent that is a nationally recognized securities dealer with expertise in remarketing adjustable rate securities and a Tender and Paying Agent, as provided in Section 2.01 of this Agreement.

The Fund shall use the gross proceeds form the sale of LEARS to redeem the Fund’s outstanding auction market preferred shares (“AMPS”) within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date and pending such redemption the Fund shall invest such proceeds in Deposit Securities. Within two (2) Business Days of the Effective Date, the Fund shall deposit with the auction agent for the AMPS an amount of Deposit Securities sufficient to redeem the outstanding AMPS.

If the Liquidity Provider acquires any LEARS pursuant to the Purchase Obligation and continues to be the beneficial owner for federal income tax purposes of such Purchased LEARS for a continuous period of six months during which such Purchased LEARS are tendered for Remarketing at each Remarketing in accordance with the Related Documents but cannot be successfully remarketed pursuant to such Remarketings (i.e., a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS shall have occurred and be continuing for such period of time with respect to such Purchased LEARS), the Fund shall effect a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption out of funds legally available for the redemption of the Purchased LEARS that are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption and in accordance with any other applicable law restrictions that apply to redemptions of stock; provided, that, as of the date of redemption: (i) to the extent any LEARS are Outstanding and held by Persons other than the Liquidity Provider, the Purchase Obligation of the Liquidity Provider whose LEARS are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption (i.e., Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign) remains in effect to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the LEARS Purchase Agreement with Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign; and (ii) to the extent (a) any LEARS are Outstanding and held by Persons other than the Liquidity Provider and (b) the Purchase Obligation of the Liquidity Provider whose LEARS are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased

LEARS Redemption (i.e., Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign) remains in effect to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the LEARS Purchase Agreement with Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign, the Liquidity Provider whose LEARS are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition— Purchased LEARS Redemption (i.e., Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign) shall have made written affirmation to the Fund not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date to the effect that the Liquidity Provider is in compliance with the Purchase Obligation in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing proviso, any failure or delay by the Liquidity Provider whose LEARS are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition— Purchased LEARS Redemption (i.e., Citibank, N.A., or any successor or permitted assign) to deliver the affirmation referred to in the foregoing proviso shall not relieve the Fund of its obligation to effectuate a Failed Remarketing Condition— Purchased LEARS Redemption and shall only result in a delay by the Fund to effectuate a Failed Remarketing Condition— Purchased LEARS Redemption until one (1) Business Day following the date that such Liquidity Provider delivers such affirmation. The six-month holding period for Purchased LEARS acquired and continuously held as a result of a continuing Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS will be determined by the Fund on a first-in, first-out basis.

The Fund shall effect a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption on the Redemption Date fixed by the Fund therefor, which date will not be later than three Business Days after the expiration of the six-month period, except that if the Fund does not have funds legally available for the redemption of all of the required number of Purchased LEARS which are subject to the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS Redemption or the Fund otherwise is unable as a result of applicable law restrictions that apply to redemptions of stock, to effect such redemption on or prior to three Business Days after the expiration of the six-month period, the Fund will redeem those Purchased LEARS which it was unable to redeem on the earliest practicable date on which it is able to effect such redemption out of legally available funds and in accordance with applicable law restrictions that apply to redemptions of stock.

Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing outside of this Section 6.21 and Section 6.23 shall confer upon the Liquidity Provider any rights to a redemption of Purchased LEARS (other than the rights provided to Holders under the Statement).

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS with respect to any LEARS, by the fifth Business Day following delivery of notice thereof from the Liquidity Provider in accordance with Section 7.08(c), the Fund shall cause the Custodian to segregate, by means of appropriate identification on its books and records or otherwise in accordance with the Custodian’s normal procedures, from the other assets of the Fund (a “Liquidity Account”) Liquidity Account Investments with a Market Value equal to at least 110% of the Liquidation Preference of such Purchased LEARS. If, while the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS with respect to such Purchased LEARS is continuing, the aggregate Market Value of the Liquidity Account Investments included in the

Liquidity Account for such Purchased LEARS as of the close of business on any Business Day is less than 110% of the Liquidation Preference of such Purchased LEARS, then the Fund shall cause the Custodian and the Investment Adviser to take all such necessary actions, including segregating additional assets of the Fund as Liquidity Account Investments, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Liquidity Account Investments included in the Liquidity Account for such Purchased LEARS is at least equal to 110% of the Liquidation Preference of such Purchased LEARS not later than the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day. With respect to assets of the Fund segregated as Liquidity Account Investments, the Investment Adviser, on behalf of the Fund, shall be entitled to instruct the Custodian on any date to release any Liquidity Account Investments with respect to any Purchased LEARS from such segregation and to substitute therefor other Liquidity Account Investments, so long as (i) the assets of the Fund segregated as Liquidity Account Investments with respect to such Purchased LEARS at the close of business on such date have a Market Value equal to 110% of the Liquidation Preference of such Purchased LEARS and (ii) the assets of the Fund designated and segregated as Deposit Securities at the close of business on such date have a Market Value equal to the Liquidity Requirement (if any) determined in accordance with subsection (b) below with respect to such Purchased LEARS for such date. The Fund shall cause the Custodian not to permit any lien, security interest or encumbrance to be created or permitted to exist on or in respect of any Liquidity Account Investments included in the Liquidity Account for any Purchased LEARS, other than liens, security interests or encumbrances arising by operation of law and any lien of the Custodian with respect to the payment of its fees or repayment for its advances. Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied to the contrary herein, the assets of the Liquidity Account shall continue to be assets of the Fund subject to the interests of all creditors and shareholders of the Fund.

(b) Subject to notice having been received as referred to in subsection (a) above, the Market Value of the Deposit Securities held in the Liquidity Account for any Purchased LEARS, from and after the day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) preceding the expiration of the six-month period for the Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS applicable to such Purchased LEARS (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may result in multiple six month periods, each in respect of a Failed Remarketing Condition—Purchased LEARS in respect of applicable Purchased LEARS) specified in the table set forth below, shall not be less than the percentage of the Liquidation Preference for such Purchased LEARS set forth below opposite such day (the “Liquidity Requirement”), but in all cases subject to the cure provisions of subsection (c) below:

(c) If the aggregate Market Value of the Deposit Securities included in the Liquidity Account for any Purchased LEARS as of the close of business on any Business Day is less than the Liquidity Requirement in respect of such Purchased LEARS for such Business Day, then the Fund shall cause the segregation of additional or substitute Deposit Securities in respect of the Liquidity Account for such Purchased LEARS, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Deposit Securities included in the Liquidity Account for such Purchased LEARS is at least equal to the Liquidity Requirement for such Purchased LEARS not later than the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) The Deposit Securities included in the Liquidity Account for any Purchased LEARS may be applied by the Fund, in its discretion, towards payment of the Redemption Price for such Purchased LEARS. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the successful remarketing of the Purchased LEARS or (ii) the deposit by the Fund with the Tender and Paying Agent with arrangements satisfactory to the Liquidity Provider of Deposit Securities having an initial combined Market Value sufficient to effect the redemption of such Purchased LEARS on the Redemption Date for such Purchased LEARS, the requirement of the Fund to maintain a Liquidity Account for such Purchased LEARS as contemplated by this Section 6.22 shall lapse and be of no further force and effect.

The Fund shall maintain Minimum LEARS Asset Coverage of 225% or, if it does not cure a failure to maintain the Minimum LEARS Asset Coverage by the Minimum LEARS Asset Coverage Cure Date, the Fund shall immediately commence a redemption of LEARS, as provided in Section 10(b)(i) of Part I of the Statement, out of funds legally available for the redemption of LEARS and in accordance with any other applicable law restrictions that apply to redemptions of stock.

The Fund shall not issue or suffer to exist any “senior security” (as defined in the 1940 Act as of the date hereof or, in the event such definition shall be amended, with such changes to the definition thereof as consented to by the Liquidity Provider) of the Fund supported by an unconditional demand feature from a liquidity provider, except the LEARS, until after the earlier of (i) the Effective Date (after which time the issuance or existence of such other senior security shall be subject to the immediate succeeding paragraph) or (ii) July 1, 2011.

For so long as any LEARS are Outstanding, the Fund shall not issue or suffer to exist any other “senior security” (as defined in the 1940 Act as of the date hereof or, in the event such definition shall be amended, with such changes to the definition thereof as consented to by the Liquidity Provider) of the Fund, except as may be otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Fund and the Liquidity Provider or that may be issued in connection with the Fund’s redemption of all of the Outstanding LEARS, provided that the Fund delivers all of the proceeds raised from such issuance to the Tender and Paying Agent for the purpose of redeeming the LEARS, issues a notice of redemption for the LEARS on the day it receives such cash and redeems such LEARS as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms of the Statement.

On or before the date proposed by the Fund to be the Date of Original Issue of LEARS, the Fund shall use its reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 3.02.

The Liquidity Provider agrees that, from the Closing Date to the Effective Date or the Drop Dead Date, whichever occurs first (with respect to Section 7.05) and, thereafter in all cases so long as there is any commitment under the LEARS Purchase Agreement or any amount payable under the LEARS Purchase Agreement or under any LEARS remains outstanding:

The Liquidity Provider will deliver to the Fund as promptly as practicable notice of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, including any that is pending against the Liquidity Provider in any court or before any governmental authority or (to the best knowledge of the Liquidity Provider) overtly threatened in writing against the Liquidity Provider (i) in any way contesting or affecting the validity of this Agreement or the LEARS Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation; or (ii) in which a final adverse decision would have the effect of making the Liquidity Provider unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the LEARS Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the Purchase Obligation.

In the event of a termination of the LEARS Purchase Agreement as a result of a Termination Event, the Liquidity Provider agrees to waive its right with respect to Purchased LEARS to exercise the Purchase Obligation provided by any subsequent Liquidity Provider; provided, however, that any Purchased LEARS that are subsequently sold by the Liquidity Provider in a successful Remarketing shall at the time of such sale and thereafter have the full benefit of the Purchase Obligation of any subsequent Liquidity Provider; and, provided, further, that any Purchase Obligation of a subsequent Liquidity Provider with respect to the Purchased LEARS shall be on parity with the Purchase Obligation of such Liquidity Provider with respect to all other outstanding LEARS.

The Liquidity Provider shall pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable by it under the LEARS Purchase Agreement according to the terms thereof. The obligation of the Liquidity Provider under the LEARS Purchase Agreement shall be unconditional and irrevocable in accordance with the provisions thereof, without regard to, without limitation, any failure of the representations, warranties, agreements or performance of the Tender and Paying Agent set forth therein or of the Fund set forth in this Agreement.

The Liquidity Provider shall comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations that may be applicable to it if the failure to comply could have a material adverse effect on the Liquidity Provider’s ability to perform when due the Purchase Obligation or its other obligations under the Related Documents.

The Liquidity Provider shall at all times maintain in effect, renew and comply with all the terms and conditions of all consents, filings, licenses, approvals and authorizations as may be necessary under any applicable law or regulation for its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents.

(a) To the extent permitted under applicable confidentiality restrictions, the Liquidity Provider shall provide (a) written notice of an Extraordinary Corporate Event and (b) the written notice referred to in clause (y) in the definition of an Extraordinary Corporate Event, to the Fund at least 10 days prior to the scheduled date of the occurrence of an Extraordinary Corporate Event or 10 days prior to the scheduled date of the applicable listed occurrence in clause (i) of such definition, respectively.

(b) The Liquidity Provider shall notify the Tender and Paying Agent and the Fund not less than sixty days prior to the effective date of a Related Party Termination Event, which effective date will also be the Related Party Termination Date.

Without the prior written consent of the Fund, the Liquidity Provider will not agree or consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or repeal of the LEARS Purchase Agreement, nor waive any provision thereof.

(a) as promptly as practicable after the preparation thereof, each publicly available financial statement prepared with respect to the Liquidity Provider, which delivery shall be deemed to have been made upon electronic availability to the public of any such document;

(b) as soon as reasonably practicable upon the request of the Fund, any Remarketing Materials required of the Liquidity Provider pursuant to Section 2.03(b); and

(c) as promptly as practicable after the purchase of LEARS pursuant to a Failed Remarketing Condition or the sale of such Purchased LEARS, written notice thereof (which notice shall also be provided to the Remarketing Agent in the case of any such sale other than through a Remarketing), specifying, as applicable, the commencement or conclusion of the Failed Remarketing Condition, the date of purchase or sale and number of LEARS purchased or sold;

provided, however, that any failure of the Liquidity Provider to deliver any of the foregoing notices shall not relieve the Fund of its obligation to adjust the Applicable Rate to the Maximum Rate and to pay any amounts due on the Purchased LEARS.

If at any time the Liquidity Provider’s bank holding company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, in order to preserve the exemption for resales and transfers under Rule 144A, the Liquidity Provider shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Holders and Beneficial Owners of LEARS and prospective purchasers of LEARS, upon request, information with respect to the Liquidity Provider satisfying the requirements of subsection (d)(4) of Rule 144A.

The Liquidity Provider shall execute each of the other Related Documents to which it is a party if, on the Effective Date, (a) such Related Documents have been delivered to the Liquidity Provider (i) in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E or (ii) with such changes proposed by the Fund (or by the Remarketing Agent with respect to the LEARS Remarketing Agreement or the Tender and Paying Agent with respect to the LEARS Tender and Paying

Agent Agreement) as agreed to by the Liquidity Provider (such changes to be considered in good faith and such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) and (b) the conditions specified in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 have been satisfied.

All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder 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 such other address or telecopy number or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, upon receipt, or (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the Liquidity Provider under Section 6.01 shall not be effective until received in writing; except as otherwise specified, notices under Section 6.01 may be given by telephone to the Liquidity Provider at the telephone numbers listed below (or such other telephone numbers as may be designated by the Liquidity Provider, by written notice to the Fund, to receive such notice), immediately confirmed in writing, including by fax or electronic mail. The notice address for each party is specified below:

(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 LEARS or any other Related Document). The rights of the Liquidity Provider hereunder are separate from and in addition to any rights that any Holder or Beneficial Owner of any LEARS may have under the terms of such LEARS or any Related Document or otherwise.

(b) No failure or delay by the Fund or the Liquidity Provider in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Related Document or the LEARS 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 Liquidity Provider in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the LEARS or any other Related Document shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Fund or the Liquidity Provider hereunder or thereunder 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.

(a) The Fund shall upon demand either, as the Liquidity Provider may require, pay in the first instance or reimburse the Liquidity Provider (to the extent that payments for the following items are not made under the other provisions hereof) for (i) the reasonable fees, expenses, and disbursement of the Liquidity Provider (including reasonable fees and costs of outside counsel) incurred by the Liquidity Provider in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Related Documents and other instruments mentioned herein, and (ii) 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 Liquidity Provider in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Agreement or the other Related Documents. The Fund shall not be responsible under clause (ii) above 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 Liquidity Provider, unless the Liquidity Provider shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Fund. The Fund’s obligations under this Section 8.03 shall be effective at all times before and after, and regardless of the occurrence of, the Effective Date.

(b) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Liquidity Provider and each other Indemnified Person of the Liquidity Provider from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which (i) are related to or arise out of (A) any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact made or any statements of a material fact omitted or alleged to have been omitted to be made in the Offering Memorandum or any of the Remarketing Materials (including in each case any documents incorporated by reference therein), (B) actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Fund in connection with the transactions contemplated by

this Agreement, the LEARS Purchase Agreement, the LEARS Tender and Paying Agent Agreement, the LEARS Remarketing Agreement and the LEARS Distribution Agreement, (C) actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Liquidity Provider or another Indemnified Person of the Liquidity Provider at the indemnifying party’s direction or with the indemnifying party’s consent or (ii) are otherwise related to or arise out of or in connection with, the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Related Documents), including modifications or future additions to this Agreement and any other Related Documents, or other related activities, including the acquisition by the Liquidity Provider of LEARS that are subject to prior liens, security interests or claims of any Person other than the Liquidity Provider, except for consensual liens or other security interests as may be created by the Liquidity Provider (and the Liquidity Provider agrees that the rights of the Fund shall be subrogated to the rights of the Liquidity Provider in respect of any payments made in respect of any such prior liens, security interests or claims to the extent of any indemnification payments made by the Fund) and to promptly reimburse the Liquidity Provider or any other Indemnified Person of the Liquidity Provider for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which any such Indemnified Person is a party. The indemnifying party will not, however, be responsible for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any such Indemnified Person to the extent the same resulted from any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements made or any statements omitted or alleged to have been omitted to be made in the Liquidity Provider Information or pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence to the extent the same resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or to the extent the same resulted from any failure by the Liquidity Provider to perform the Purchase Obligation in accordance with the terms of the LEARS Purchase Agreement, which failure has not been the proximate result of, or caused by, a breach by the Fund of its obligations under this Agreement, as determined in a non-appealable final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The Liquidity Provider agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each other Indemnified Person of the Fund from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which are related to or arise out of any untrue statements or alleged untrue statements made or any statements omitted or alleged to have been omitted to be made in the Liquidity Provider Information, and to promptly reimburse the Fund or any other Indemnified Person of the Fund for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such action or claim, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which any such Indemnified Person is a party.

(d) 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 of the other party 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 Liquidity Provider 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 Liquidity Provider 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 Liquidity Provider 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 fees actually received by the Liquidity Provider 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 Liquidity Provider 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, for which the Liquidity Provider is providing services as provided in this Agreement bears to (ii) the fees paid or proposed to be paid by the Fund or on the Fund’s behalf to the Liquidity Provider 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 untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact) relates to information supplied by the Fund on the one hand, or the Liquidity Provider on the other, the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission or alleged statement or 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.

(e) 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 the 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, 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 each other Indemnified Person from all liability and obligations arising therefrom. The Fund further agrees that neither the Liquidity Provider, nor any of its affiliates, nor any directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives or control persons of the Liquidity Provider 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 Liquidity Provider’s or its affiliates’ gross negligence, bad faith 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.

(f) Nothing in this Section is intended to limit any party’s obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the LEARS. Neither the Fund nor the Liquidity Provider will refer to the other in any materials used in marketing the LEARS other than the Offering Memorandum without the prior written consent of the other.

Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Fund and the Liquidity Provider; provided, without limiting Section 6.02, that the Fund shall not make or agree to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement or other Related Documents that adversely affects any preference, right or power of the LEARS or the Holders thereof except as permitted under the Charter and the Statement.

(a) Subject to subsections (b) and (c) below, this Agreement shall terminate on the later of (i) the earliest of (x) the Scheduled Termination Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof), (y) the reduction of the Available Commitment of the Liquidity Provider to zero and (z) the occurrence of the Drop Dead Date, assuming no LEARS have been issued as of the Drop Dead Date; and (ii) the date of payment of all sums payable by the Liquidity Provider pursuant to the LEARS Purchase Agreement (irrespective of the Liquidity Provider’s obligations under Section 2.05 of the LEARS Purchase Agreement); and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Section 2.05 (with respect to previously accrued but unpaid fees), Section 6.01 (p), (q) and (s), Section 6.02, Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.08, Section 6.14, Section 6.16, Section 6.17, Section 6.18, Section 6.19, Section 6.20, Section 6.21, Section 6.22, Section 6.23 and Section 6.24 of Article VI (Covenants of the Fund), Section 8.03 (Expenses and Indemnification), Section 8.07 (Governing Law) and Section 8.08 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of this Article VIII (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the foregoing sections of Article VI (Covenants of the Fund) shall survive termination of this Agreement only until such time that the Liquidity Provider no longer owns any LEARS purchased pursuant to the Purchase Obligation and Section 8.15 shall only remain in full force and effect for one (1) year after termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Fund may terminate this Agreement prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof) in accordance with this Section 8.06(b) as of the Liquidity Provider Ratings Event Termination Date specified by notice in writing to the Liquidity Provider following the occurrence of a Liquidity Provider Ratings Event or (ii) this Agreement shall terminate prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (as such date may be extended in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof) as of a Related Party Termination Date upon the occurrence of a Related Party Termination Event; provided that, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Section 6.01 (p), (q) and (s), Section 6.02, Section 6.05, Section 6.06, Section 6.08, Section 6.14, Section 6.16, Section 6.17, Section 6.18, Section 6.19, Section 6.20, Section 6.21, Section 6.22, Section 6.23 and Section 6.24 of Article VI (Covenants of the Fund), Section 8.03 (Expenses and Indemnification), Section 8.07 (Governing Law) and Section 8.08 (Waiver of Jury Trial) of this Article VIII (Miscellaneous) shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the foregoing sections of Article VI (Covenants of the Fund) shall survive termination of this Agreement only until such time that the Liquidity Provider no longer owns any LEARS purchased pursuant to the Purchase Obligation and Section 8.15 shall only remain in full force and effect for one (1) year after termination of this Agreement.

(c) No expiration or termination of this Agreement shall be effective, so long as LEARS are Outstanding, until the completion of a Mandatory Purchase in respect thereof, if then required under the Statement, including the purchase by the Liquidity Provider of any LEARS required to be purchased by it as a result thereof pursuant to the LEARS Purchase Agreement.

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

This Agreement is not intended and shall not be construed to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder.

In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Statement, including with respect to the taking of any action or the consent required for any such action, this Agreement shall govern.

Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that it shall not be a condition precedent to the Purchase Obligation that any seller of LEARS demonstrate or account for any loss.

Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement, Citibank, N.A., solely in its capacity as Liquidity Provider, hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the redemption and the payment in full of the LEARS and all accumulated dividends, petition or otherwise invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing a case against the Fund under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Fund or any substantial part of the property of the Fund; provided, however, that nothing in this provision shall preclude, or be deemed to stop, the Liquidity Provider from taking any action prior to the expiration of the aforementioned one year and one day period in (x) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by the Fund, (y) any involuntary insolvency proceeding filed or commenced against the Fund by a Person other than the Liquidity Provider, or (z) with respect to its rights or preferences as a Beneficial Owner or Holder of LEARS.

All information, whether oral, written, via computer disk or electronic media or otherwise, to which it is given access or is made available to it by the other party (including by such other party’s agents and representatives) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document is referred to as “Confidential Information”. Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, all technology, processes, trade secrets, contracts, proprietary information, portfolio information, historical and projected financial information, operating data and organizational cost structures, strategic or management plans, customer information and customer lists, whether received before or after the date hereof. Confidential Information shall also include information of or relating to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of a party.

Each party agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence, that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person, other than directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, the “Representatives”) who have a need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document (the “Transactions”), and that it will not use any such Confidential Information for purposes other than in connection with the Transactions. Each party agrees to inform its Representatives of the confidential and valuable nature of the Confidential Information and of its obligations under this Section 8.15. Each party shall be responsible and liable for any breach of this Section 8.15 by its Representatives. Each party agrees to use reasonable care and implement reasonable controls, but in all events at least the same degree of care and controls that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or availability of Confidential Information.

It is understood and agreed that no information shall be within the protection of this Section 8.15 where such information: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of either party or its Representatives, (b) is authorized to be released by the disclosing party or (c) is

rightly obtained from a third party, who, to the best of the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under obligation of confidentiality. Furthermore, the obligations of confidentiality set out in this Section 8.15 shall not extend to Confidential Information that is disclosed to Holders or Beneficial Owners or potential Holders or Beneficial Owners, in each case in their capacity as such, in the Remarketing Memorandum or the Remarketing Materials, in notices to Holders or Beneficial Owners pursuant to one or more of the Related Documents or pursuant to the Fund’s or the Liquidity Provider’s informational obligations under Rule 144A(d)(4) or other reporting obligation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the event that either party to this Agreement or any of its Representatives become legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, regulatory request or demand, civil investigative demand or similar process (“Legal Process”)) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such party may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent legally required; provided, however, that such party shall: (a) first notify the other party of such legal process, unless such notice is prohibited by statute, regulatory request, rule or court order, (b) attempt to obtain such other party’s consent to such disclosure, and (c) in the event consent is not given, not object to the filing of a motion to quash, or other similar procedural step, seeking protection against the production of publication of Confidential Information. In making any disclosure under such legal process, each of party agrees to use all reasonable efforts to preserve the confidential nature of such information. Nothing herein shall require a party to fail to honor any Legal Process on a timely basis.

Inasmuch as any breach of this Section 8.15 may result in immediate and irreparable injury, it is recognized and agreed that each party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available at law. Further, all obligations, rights and remedies hereunder shall survive any return or destruction of the Confidential Information and any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that all obligations, rights and remedies hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect for one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement.

It is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Section 8.15 shall operate as a waiver hereof, 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 under this Section 8.15.

Each party agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to persons other than the Representatives that Confidential Information has been made available to it and that it has inspected any portion of such Confidential Information (the term “person” to be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any individual, corporation, company, group, partnership or other entity).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
