company (the "Fund"), ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Management ("▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇" or the "Investment

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby confirms its agreement with each Qualifying
Underwriter (as defined in Section 1 hereof) with respect to the additional
compensation referred to in the "Underwriting" section of the Registration
Statement, payable by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to each of the Qualifying Underwriters. ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay to each Qualifying Underwriter additional compensation
(collectively, the "Additional Compensation") as provided for in Section 3
hereof; provided, however, that such Additional Compensation shall not exceed an
amount equal to 0.15% per annum of the aggregate average daily gross assets of
the Fund (including assets attributable to any preferred shares of the Fund that
may be outstanding); and provided, further, that such payments shall not exceed
the "Maximum Additional Compensation Amount" (as defined in Section 4 hereof).
The Additional Compensation shall be payable as set forth in Section 3 hereof.
SECTION 1. Qualifying Underwriters. For the purposes of this
Additional Compensation Agreement, each Underwriter (other than UBS Securities

and each Underwriter (other than UBS Securities LLC), which sells Common Shares
of the Fund with an aggregate purchase price to the public of at least
$100,000,000 shall be a "Class II Qualifying Underwriter;" provided, however,
that the amounts required to qualify as a Class I Qualifying Underwriter or a
Class II Qualifying Underwriter may be reduced with respect to any Underwriter
in the sole discretion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Class I Qualifying Underwriters and Class
II Qualifying Underwriters are referred to collectively herein as "Qualifying
Underwriters." A Qualifying Underwriter which qualifies as a Class II Qualifying
Underwriter shall not also be a Class I Qualifying Underwriter. Within

purchased by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

quarter.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay the Additional Compensation, quarterly in

of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ remains in effect, as, and to the extent, that such investment
advisory agreement is renewed periodically in accordance with the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. This Additional Compensation Agreement shall

that the Underwriters are not providing any advice hereunder as to the value of
securities or regarding the advisability of purchasing or selling any securities

furnish any advice or make any recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of
portfolio securities or (ii) render any opinions, valuations or recommendations

Underwriter shall have liability to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Fund for any act or

misconduct on the part of such Underwriter. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter and its respective officers, directors, agents
and employees against any loss or expense arising out of or in connection with
such Underwriter's performance under this Additional Compensation Agreement.
This provision shall survive the termination, expiration or supersession of this
Additional Compensation Agreement.

may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of each other
party.
