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 VMTP Shares from the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser) from the Purchaser (or the Purchaser’s Affiliates in the aggregate), more than 25% of the Outstanding VMTP Shares; provided, that the foregoing right of first refusal shall not apply to any VMTP Shares sold pursuant to an underwriting contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Registration Rights Agreement; provided, further, that the foregoing right of first refusal shall apply in connection with the transfer from the Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof of the residual interests in a tender option bond trust or the equity or residual interests of any other entity formed by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Affiliates to hold the VMTP Shares that results in the indirect transfer of more than 25% of the voting rights of the Outstanding VMTP 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 VMTP Shares. Any transfer in violation of this Section 2.02(a) shall be void ab initio.

(b) In connection with the right of first refusal set forth in Section 2.02(a), the following procedures shall apply (the “Right of First Refusal Procedures”):

(i) the Purchaser shall notify the Fund by Electronic Means of any proposed sales or transfers of VMTP Shares which would entitle the Fund to exercise its right of first refusal and such notification shall include the type of entity (a banking institution, insurance company, Broker-Dealer, Foreign Entity (and their direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries), company that is included in the S&P 500 Index (and their direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries), registered open-end management investment companies, tender option bond trust, insurance company or broker-dealer, incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States, or a political subdivision of a country other than the United States that is regulated as such by that country’s or subdivision’s government or any agency thereof) of the prospective transferee, the number of VMTP Shares subject to the proposed transfer and the proposed transfer 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 VMTP Shares by the Fund from the Purchaser 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 the Purchaser 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 VMTP Shares purchased by the Fund pursuant to its exercise of the right of first refusal in subparagraph (ii) above 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 VMTP Shares; and

(vi) all purchases of VMTP 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 Certificate of Designation and otherwise in accordance with Applicable Law and the Certificate of Designation.

On the Closing Date, the Fund shall pay, or cause to be paid, the reasonable fees and expenses of the Purchaser, including the Purchaser’s outside counsel fees and expenses, and for the first year that the Voting Trust Agreement is in effect, the fees and expenses of the parties thereto in accordance with the terms therein.

This Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and, if executed and delivered on the date this representation is made, the Redemption and Paying Agent Agreement, 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 or public policy principles of general applicability, it being understood that the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be subject to limitations imposed under applicable securities laws.

SECTION 4.07. Information Statement.

The Information Statement (including any amendments or supplements prepared subsequent to its date), a true copy of which, in each case, has been furnished to the Purchaser, and the documents furnished and written statements made by the Fund in connection with the preparation or execution of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party when considered together with the Information Statement, do not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which made, not misleading.

As of the Closing Date, the VMTP Shares will satisfy the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act, and no securities of the same class (within the meaning of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act) as the VMTP Shares are listed on any national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

The Fund has not distributed any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the VMTP Shares other than to the Purchaser or its representatives.

SECTION 4.09. Complete and Correct Information.

All written information, written reports and other papers and written data prepared by the Fund and furnished to the Purchaser in connection with its purchase of the VMTP Shares, at the time the same were prepared, accurately set forth the information purported to be included therein in all material respects when taken together as a whole with the Information Statement and did not materially misrepresent the financial position, operations or prospects of the Fund.

As of the Closing Date, the Fund is in compliance with Section 6(c) of the Certificate of Designation.

SECTION 4.13. Credit Quality.

As of the Closing Date, the Fund is in compliance with Section 6(d) of the Certificate of Designation.

SECTION 4.14. Due Diligence.

The Fund understands that nothing in this Agreement, the Information Statement, or any other materials presented to the Fund in connection with the purchase and sale of the VMTP Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice from the Purchaser. The Fund has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its sale of the VMTP Shares.

SECTION 4.15. Intent to Issue Equity.

It is the intent and understanding of the Fund that the VMTP Shares constitute shares of the Fund under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that all distributions on or with respect to the VMTP Shares (whether in the form of dividends, redemption payments, liquidation proceeds or otherwise) shall be subject to the restrictions and limitations applicable to distributions on or with respect to corporate stock under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All negotiations between the Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) and the Fund regarding the VMTP Shares have been consistent with such intent and understanding. The Fund agrees to treat the VMTP Shares as equity of the Fund for all U.S. federal, state, and local income and other tax purposes.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS OF THE FUND

The Fund agrees that, so long as there is any amount payable hereunder or the Purchaser owns any outstanding VMTP Shares at any time prior to the registration of VMTP Shares pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement:

SECTION 6.01. Future Agreements.

Unless advised in a legal opinion of nationally recognized counsel that entry into such an agreement would violate Applicable Law or the fiduciary duties of the Board of Trustees, the Fund shall, promptly upon the request of the Purchaser, enter into an agreement, complying with Applicable Law, satisfying Section 12(d)(1)(E)(iii) of the 1940 Act as agreed to by the Fund and such tender option bond trust in their commercially reasonable discretion upon any transfer of the VMTP Shares to a tender option bond trust.

SECTION 6.02. No Setoff.

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 within 15 days of the request for such payment having been sent to the Fund, unless such request for payment is contested by the Fund in good faith.

SECTION 6.03. Merger Expenses.

The Fund agrees to reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the Purchaser’s consent to the Merger, including the Purchasers’ reasonable outside counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

SECTION 6.04. Tax Opinion.

The Fund shall deliver as soon as possible after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than May 16, 2012, (i) a supplement to the Information Statement disclosing in substance that, subject to customary qualifications set forth in such supplement, distributions from the Fund that are derived from interest on obligations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its political subdivisions (which in the opinion of bond counsel or other counsel to the issuers of such obligations is exempt from Pennsylvania personal income taxes), from direct obligations of the United States, or from certain qualifying obligations of United States territories and possessions, (collectively “Pennsylvania State-Specific Obligations”) will be exempt from the Pennsylvania personal income tax; however, distributions attributable to capital gains derived by the Fund as well as distributions derived from investments other than Pennsylvania State-Specific Obligations will be taxable for Pennsylvania personal income tax purposes; and distributions derived from interest on obligations that are merely backed or guaranteed by the U.S. Government (e.g., GNMAs, FNMAs), or on repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities, are not exempt from the Pennsylvania personal income tax, and (ii) an opinion of outside counsel to the Fund substantially to the effect that such discussion constitutes, in all material respects, a fair and accurate summary of the Pennsylvania income tax consequences described in such discussion, subject to the qualifications set forth in the Information Statement.

In the event the opinion referred to in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph is not delivered to the Purchaser on or before May 16, 2012, the Fund shall pay each Beneficial Owner a supplemental monthly fee payable in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date equal to (A) the product of (x) 0.02, (y) the Purchase Price and (z) the actual number of days in such month that the opinion has not been delivered divided by 360 multiplied by (B) the percentage of the Fund’s Outstanding VMTP Shares owned by such Beneficial Owner.

SECTION 6.05. Tax Reporting.

Whenever the Fund intends or expects to include in any dividend on VMTP Shares any amount that is not a Pennsylvania exempt-interest dividend, the Fund shall use its best efforts to notify, or cause the Redemption and Paying Agent to notify, the Beneficial Owners in writing of such amount (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 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 Rate Determination Date; provided, however, that if such information is not known before the dates specified in clauses (i) or (ii), the Fund shall notify the Beneficial Owners (or at a Beneficial Owner’s direction, the Redemption and Paying Agent) of such information as soon thereafter as is commercially feasible. With respect to a Rate Period for which such advance notice was given and whose dividends are comprised partly of such income and partly of Pennsylvania exempt-interest income, the different types of income will be paid in the same relative proportions for each day during the Rate Period.

ARTICLE VII

COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER

SECTION 7.01. Voting Rights.

As of the Closing Date, and for so long as the Purchaser together with any of its Affiliates individually or in the aggregate own at least 20% of the Outstanding VMTP Shares and the Fund has not failed to pay dividends on the VMTP Shares for two years, the Purchaser shall enter into and maintain in full force and effect a Voting Trust Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 and thereby convey into the voting trust, governed by the Voting Trust Agreement, the right to vote all of its VMTP Shares acquired on the Closing Date or any time thereafter and so owned with respect to:

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

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

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

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

Each voting right set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above is referred to herein as a “Voting Right”.

At all times that Voting Rights are subject to the Voting Trust Agreement, the Purchaser or its Affiliate or designee will be the registered owner of the VMTP Shares. If any dividend or other distribution in respect of the Subject Shares is paid, such dividend or distribution will be paid directly to the Purchaser or its Affiliate or designee owning such Subject Shares; provided that any Additional Shares will become part of the Subject Shares covered by the Voting Trust Agreement.

The Voting Rights of the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement for so long as the Purchaser and its Affiliates collectively are the Beneficial Owners in the aggregate of 20% or more of the Outstanding VMTP Shares.

At all times that the Voting Rights are subject to the Voting Trust Agreement, the Purchaser shall irrevocably appoint and constitute, and shall cause each of its Affiliates that are Beneficial Owners of any Subject Shares to irrevocably appoint and constitute, the Voting Trustee as its attorney-in-fact and agrees, and agrees to cause each of such Affiliates, to grant the Voting Trustee one or more irrevocable proxies with respect to the Voting Rights and further agrees, and agrees to cause each of such Affiliates, to renew any such proxies that may lapse by their terms while the Subject Shares are still subject to the Voting Trust Agreement.

Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 7.01, upon the transfer of VMTP Shares by the Purchaser to any third party (other than a transfer to an Affiliate of the Purchaser, in which case such VMTP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement), such VMTP Shares shall no longer be subject to the Voting Trust Agreement; provided, however, that in connection with an Excluded Transfer:

(i) of the type specified in clause (1) of the definition of Excluded Transfer, the VMTP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement until such time as the Fund, upon the request of the Purchaser, 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 the Purchaser retains the right to vote or direct voting in connection with such transactions, the VMTP Shares shall remain subject to the Voting Trust Agreement until such time as there is a default by the Purchaser under such 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 the Purchaser does not retain the right to vote or direct voting of such VMTP Shares in such transactions, such transactions do not permit the removal of the VMTP 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 VMTP Shares unless there is a default by the Purchaser under such repurchase transaction or collateral pledge arrangement.

Without the prior written consent of the Fund (in its sole discretion), the Purchaser will not agree or consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or repeal of the Voting Trust Agreement, nor waive any provision thereof; 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, the consent of the Fund shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 7.02. Tax Treatment.

The Purchaser agrees to treat the VMTP Shares as equity of the Fund for all U.S. federal, state and local income and other tax purposes.

SECTION 7.03. Prior Consent.

The Purchaser agrees that any prior consent of the Purchaser, in its capacity as a Holder of VMTP Shares, with respect to the Merger will not be unreasonably withheld, provided that:

(a) the Fund has satisfied all of its obligations set forth in the Related Documents (including, without limitation, satisfaction of the Effective Leverage Ratio and Minimum Asset Coverage covenants set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Fund as in effect on the Closing Date) immediately prior to the Merger and the Acquiring Fund has satisfied its obligations under its respective purchase agreement, agreement and declaration of trust, certificate of designation, registration rights agreement and VMTP shares (including, without limitation, satisfaction of the Effective Leverage Ratio and Minimum Asset Coverage covenants set forth in the Certificate of Designation of the Acquiring Fund as in effect on the Closing Date) immediately prior to the Merger and the obligations of the Acquiring Fund under its respective purchase agreement, agreement and declaration of trust, certificate of designation, registration rights agreement and VMTP shares will be satisfied immediately after the completion of any such Merger;

(b) the declaration of trust of the Acquiring Fund shall be identical to the terms set forth in the Form of Acquiring Fund Declaration of Trust attached hereto as Exhibit B-6, except as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties hereto in their good faith discretion;

(c) the by-laws of the Acquiring Fund shall be identical to the terms set forth in the Form of Acquiring Fund By-Laws attached hereto as Exhibit B-7, except as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties hereto in their good faith discretion;

(d) the terms of the new VMTP shares issued by the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Merger shall be identical to the terms of the VMTP shares of the Acquiring Fund set forth in the Form of Acquiring Fund Statement of Preferences attached hereto as Exhibit B-8, except as may otherwise be agreed to by the parties hereto in their good faith discretion;

(e) following completion of the transactions contemplated in Section 2.01 of this Agreement and of each other purchase agreement being entered into by each fund that will be acquired by the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Merger, the Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof will own 100% of the Outstanding VMTP shares of the Acquiring Fund and each fund being acquired by the Acquiring Fund in connection with the Merger;

(f) immediately prior to, and upon completion of any Merger, the rating of the Acquiring Fund by each Rating Agency rating, at the request of any such fund, the VMTP shares of the Acquiring Fund and any other fund involved in the Merger, shall be at least AA-/Aa3;

(g) the completion of any such Merger shall occur on or prior to December 31, 2012;

(h) the disclosure document distributed to shareholders of the Fund in connection with the Merger will disclose in substance (i) that the Merger will be a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and (ii) that the VMTP Shares of the surviving fund acquired by former shareholders of the target fund pursuant to the Merger will be treated as equity of the acquiring fund for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and

(i) it will be a condition to closing of the Merger that nationally recognized tax counsel shall deliver an opinion to the Fund substantially to the effect of clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 7.03(h), although the same tax counsel need not deliver both opinions.

SECTION 8.02. No Waivers.

(a) The obligations of the Fund hereunder shall not in any way be modified or limited by reference to any other document, instrument or agreement (including, without limitation, any other Related Document) other than the Certificate of Designation and the VMTP Shares. The rights of the Purchaser hereunder are separate from and in addition to any rights that any Holder or Beneficial Owner of any VMTP Shares may have under the terms of such VMTP Shares or any Related Document or otherwise. In the event of an irreconcilable conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Certificate of Designation or the VMTP Shares, the terms of the Certificate of Designation shall govern.

(b) No failure or delay by the Fund or the Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Related Documents or the VMTP Shares shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

No failure or delay by the Fund or the Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the VMTP Shares or any other Related Document shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Fund or the Purchaser 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.

SECTION 8.03. Expenses and Indemnification.

(a) The Fund shall reimburse the Purchaser (to the extent that payments for the following items are not made or addressed under the other provisions hereof) for the reasonable fees, expenses, and disbursements of the Purchaser (including reasonable fees and costs of outside counsel) incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the execution and delivery of the other Related Documents.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Person of the Purchaser from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) (“Expenses”) which are related to or arise out of the defense of any lawsuit, action, claim, threat or demand by any Common Share holders or their representatives or any other Person acting on behalf of such Common Share holders or their representatives in connection with the Purchaser’s execution and performance of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Fund shall not be liable for, and no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Section 8.03 for, (1) any Expenses arising by reason of such Indemnified Person’s (i) willful misfeasance, (ii) bad faith or (iii) gross negligence, (2) any consequential, punitive, special or speculative losses, damages or expenses incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any opportunity cost of capital, such as the loss of anticipated or disgorgement of previously received dividends, interest, capital gains or any other profit or gain from any investment opportunity or activity foregone by such Indemnified Person as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (3) any alleged loss incurred as a result of the Fund’s failure to pay any amount on or with respect to the VMTP Shares (whether dividends, redemption payments, liquidation proceeds or otherwise) due to the lack of funds legally available therefor under Applicable Law or the Certificate of Designation or because of any other restrictions under Applicable Law or the Certificate of Designation on such payments.

(c) The Fund also agrees that if any indemnification sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless the Indemnified Persons in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) for which they are entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.03(b), then the Fund, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by each such Indemnified Person as a result of such Expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Fund on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand from the actual or proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Fund on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other, giving rise to such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in any event the aggregate contribution of the Purchaser and its Indemnified Persons to all Expenses

with respect to which contributions are available hereunder will not exceed the amount of dividends actually received by the Purchaser from the Fund pursuant to the proposed transactions giving rise to this Agreement. For purposes of determining the relative benefits to the Fund on the one hand, and the Purchaser on the other, under the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement, such benefits shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total proceeds received or proposed to be received by the Fund pursuant to the transactions, whether or not consummated, for which the Purchaser is purchasing VMTP Shares bears to (ii) the dividends paid by the Fund or on the Fund’s behalf to the Purchaser in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement. No Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Person may have at common law or otherwise.

(d) If an Indemnified Person is named as a defendant in any action, suit, proceeding or investigation as to which the Indemnified Person proposes to demand indemnification hereunder, it shall notify the Fund with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Person to notify the Fund shall not relieve the Fund from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that the Fund is materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). The Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund; provided, however, that the Fund 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; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Fund and any counsel designated by the Fund.

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 Purchaser, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, representatives or control persons of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates shall have any liability to the Fund arising out of or in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Agreement. No party shall be responsible or liable to the other party or any other Person for consequential, special or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 8.03 is intended to limit any party’s obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the VMTP Shares. Neither the Fund nor the Purchaser will refer to the other in any materials used in marketing the VMTP Shares other than the Information Statement without the prior written consent of the other.

SECTION 8.04. Amendments and Waivers.

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 Purchaser.

SECTION 8.05. Successors and Assigns.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Neither party hereto may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that the Purchaser hereby consents to the assignment of this Agreement by the Fund to the Acquiring Fund in connection with any Merger of the Fund consented to by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.03. Any assignment without such prior written consent shall be void.

SECTION 8.06. Term of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Purchaser is the Beneficial Owner of no VMTP Shares, provided that the Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any VMTP Shares transferred in connection with clauses (1), (3), (4) or (6) of the definition of Excluded Transfer, (ii) the registration of any Outstanding VMTP Shares under the Securities Act and (iii) payment in full of all amounts owing to the Purchaser hereunder and under the VMTP Shares; and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the notice requirement of Section 7.01, Section 7.03, Section 8.03, Section 8.05, Section 8.07, Section 8.08, Section 8.10, Section 8.11 and Section 8.13 (for a period of one year after the termination of this Agreement) shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 8.07. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic law of the State of New York.

THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND NEW YORK STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 8.08. Waiver.

The Fund and the Purchaser hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement.

SECTION 8.09. Counterparts.

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 counterpart or other signature delivered by facsimile or by electronic mail shall be deemed for all purposes as being a good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by that party.

SECTION 8.10. Beneficiaries.

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

SECTION 8.11. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein and shall supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 8.12. Severability.

In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby so long as the intent of the parties to this Agreement shall be preserved.

SECTION 8.13. Confidentiality.

All information, whether oral, written, via computer disk or electronic media or otherwise, to which a party is given access or which 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 (including those of a legal nature) or prospective purchasers of VMTP Shares or interests therein that have agreed to keep such information confidential (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 VMTP Shares at the request of the Fund shall not be deemed to be a Representative for purposes of this Section 8.13 and will not be subject to the obligations of this Section 8.13. Each party agrees to inform its Representatives of the confidential and valuable nature of the Confidential Information and of its obligations under this Section 8.13. Each party shall be responsible and liable for any breach of this Section 8.13 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 8.13 where such information: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this Section 8.13 by either party or its Representatives, (b) is authorized to be released by the disclosing party, (c) is rightly obtained from a third party, who, to the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under obligation of confidentiality, (d) is required to be disclosed as a matter of law, regulation or industry best practice or legal process or (e) is made available to any regulatory body.

In the event that either party to this Agreement or any of its Representatives becomes 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 the Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by law, rule and regulation and reasonably practicable, notify the Fund prior to such disclosure by the Purchaser so that the Fund may seek, at the Fund’s expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy; provided, further, that the Purchaser will have no liability to the Fund for failure to provide such notice. In the absence of such protective order, other remedy or waiver by the Fund, the Purchaser may disclose such Confidential Information to the extent legally required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, either party and its Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information, without notice to the other party, to any governmental agency, regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority (including, without limitation, bank and securities examiners) having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of such party’s business or that of its Affiliates in connection with the exercise of such authority or claimed authority. Nothing herein shall require a party 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, that each party will be permitted to retain all or any portion of 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 8.13.

Inasmuch as any breach of this Section 8.13 may result in immediate and irreparable injury, it is recognized and agreed that each party shall be entitled to seek 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 under this Section 8.13 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 8.13 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 under this Section 8.13.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any party or Representative may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the VMTP Shares and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment or tax structure; provided that the foregoing does not constitute an authorization to disclose information identifying the Fund or any parties to transactions engaged in by the Fund (except to the extent relating to such tax structure or tax treatment) or any non-public commercial or financial information.

SECTION 8.14. General.

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 Declaration of Trust, 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 and all parties hereto shall look solely to the Fund property for the payment of any claim, or the performance of any obligation, hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything expressed or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the Purchaser any rights to dividends on, or a redemption of, VMTP Shares (other than the rights provided to Holders under the Certificate of Designation) or any rights which would result in the VMTP Shares owned or held by the Purchaser having priority over VMTP Shares owned or held by any other Person as to distribution of assets or payment of dividends.

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