Ladies and Gentlemen:

PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund, an unincorporated voluntary association with transferable shares organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts (commonly referred to as a Massachusetts business trust) (the “Fund”), and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”), confirm their agreement (this “Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“▇▇▇▇▇”), as follows:

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Fund agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through ▇▇▇▇▇, acting as agent and/or principal, up to three million of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund, and ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Shares through ▇▇▇▇▇ will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Fund and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

The Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement with the Manager dated as of September 5, 2014, a Custodian Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) dated as of November 13, 2007, as amended September 5, 2014, a Support Services Agreement with PIMCO Investments LLC (“PI”) dated as of April 4, 2012, as

amended May 23, 2012, January 4, 2013 and September 5, 2014, and a Transfer Agency Services Agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) dated as of April 19, 2016, and such agreements are herein referred to as the “Management Agreement,” the “Custodian Agreement,” the “Support Services Agreement” and the “Transfer Agency Agreement,” respectively. Collectively, the Management Agreement, the Custodian Agreement, the Support Services Agreement and the Transfer Agency Agreement are herein referred to as the “Fund Agreements.” In addition, the Fund has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (the “Dividend Reinvestment Plan”) pursuant to which the applicable holders of Shares shall have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional Shares of the Fund unless they elect to receive such dividends in cash.

The Fund has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos. 333-217471 and 811-22121) (the “Original Registration Statement”), including a base prospectus (“Basic Prospectus”), with respect to the Shares. The Fund shall prepare one or more supplements relating to the Shares (collectively, the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Basic Prospectus, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund shall furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇, for use by ▇▇▇▇▇, copies of the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the Original Registration Statement, as amended when it became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof, including the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, and including any information contained in a Prospectus Supplement subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Basic Prospectus, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Fund with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“▇▇▇▇▇”). For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, unless otherwise noted and except as the context otherwise requires, shall be deemed to include any and all amendments thereto filed with the Commission.

2. Placements. Each time that the Fund wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify ▇▇▇▇▇ by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall, at a minimum, include the number of Shares to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and the discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which, containing such minimum sales parameters necessary, is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Fund set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Fund listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to

each of the individuals from ▇▇▇▇▇ set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by ▇▇▇▇▇ unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirement set forth in Section 4, ▇▇▇▇▇, within one (1) business day of its receipt of the Placement Notice, declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Fund or ▇▇▇▇▇ suspends or terminates the sale of Placement Shares related to such Placement Notice, (iv) the Fund delivers a subsequent Placement Notice to ▇▇▇▇▇ with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 12. The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2, unless superseded by the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Placement Notice. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Fund nor ▇▇▇▇▇ will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Fund delivers a Placement Notice to ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ does not decline, within the time period specified above, such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

3. Sale of Placement Shares by ▇▇▇▇▇. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Fund’s delivery of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. ▇▇▇▇▇ will provide written confirmation to the Fund no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Fund with respect to such sales, with an itemization of deductions made by ▇▇▇▇▇ (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Fund. The Fund and the Manager each acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇ intends to sell the Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), the then-existing trading market for the Shares or sales made to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network, or in any other manner that may be deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act, in each case, at or above the then-current net asset value of the Fund’s common shares (exclusive of any distributing commission or discount payable by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to Section 2 hereof) as determined by the Fund as of the close of regular trading on the Exchange on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Trading Day on which ▇▇▇▇▇ has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder in accordance with Section 23(b) of the Investment Company Act. To the extent that ▇▇▇▇▇ acts as the Fund’s agent with respect to any such sale, ▇▇▇▇▇ covenants that it will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements imposed under applicable federal and state securities laws. ▇▇▇▇▇ will not use any advertising, sales literature or other promotional material (including “prospectus wrappers,” “broker kits,” “road show slides” and “road show scripts”), whether in printed or electronic form, in connection with

the offering and sale of the Placement Shares (collectively, “sales material”) that has not been authorized in writing or prepared by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares. To the extent that ▇▇▇▇▇ uses any sales material that has been authorized in writing or prepared by the Fund or the Manager in connection with the offering and sale of Placement Shares and such sales material is required to be filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) under FINRA’s conduct rules, ▇▇▇▇▇ or its counsel will file such sales material with FINRA within the time periods required by FINRA’s conduct rules. ▇▇▇▇▇ covenants that any statements that it or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates make in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares will be consistent with the disclosure in the Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Fund and the Manager each acknowledge and agree that (i) there can be no assurance that ▇▇▇▇▇ will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ will not incur any liability or obligation to the Fund, the Manager or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by ▇▇▇▇▇ to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day the principal exchange or market on which the Shares are listed or quoted (which, as of the date of this Agreement, is the Exchange) is open for trading.

4. Suspension of Sales. The Fund or ▇▇▇▇▇ may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3 or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3)), suspend or refuse to undertake any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension or refusal shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no such notice shall be effective against the other unless and until it is made to the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto in accordance with this Section 4, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

5. Settlement.

(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the second (2^rd) Business Day (or such earlier day as is agreed to by the parties) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Fund on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Fund pursuant to Section 2 hereof, and (ii) any transaction fees properly imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Fund will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in

all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, ▇▇▇▇▇ will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Fund prior to the Settlement Date. If the Fund defaults on its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Fund and the Manager each agree that, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 10(a) hereto, the Fund will (i) hold ▇▇▇▇▇ harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Fund and (ii) pay to ▇▇▇▇▇ any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

6. Representation and Warranty of ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ represents and warrants to the Fund and the Manager that it has full corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of, and the performance by ▇▇▇▇▇ of its obligations under this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by ▇▇▇▇▇ and this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇ and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of ▇▇▇▇▇, enforceable against ▇▇▇▇▇ in accordance with its terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution hereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and subject to the qualification that the enforceability of ▇▇▇▇▇’ obligations hereunder may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

7. Representations and Warranties of the Fund and the Manager.

(1) The Manager has been duly formed, is validly existing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware with full power and authority to conduct all of the activities conducted by it, to own or lease all of the assets owned or leased by it and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and the Manager is duly licensed and qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it is required to be so qualified, except to the extent that failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a material adverse effect on the Manager’s ability to provide services to the Fund (a “Manager Material Adverse Effect”); and the Manager owns, possesses or has obtained and currently maintains all governmental licenses, permits, consents, orders, approvals and other authorizations, whether foreign or domestic, necessary to carry on its business as contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(3) The Manager has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement (collectively, this Agreement and the Investment Management Agreement being referred to as the “Manager Agreements”) and to carry out all the terms and provisions hereof and thereof to be carried out by it. Each Manager Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Manager and complies in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, each Manager Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Manager enforceable against such the Manager in

accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and except as rights to indemnity thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws.

(4) Neither (i) the execution and delivery by the Manager of any Manager Agreement (if a party thereto) nor (ii) the consummation by the Manager of the transactions contemplated by, or the performance of its obligations under, any Manager Agreement (if a party thereto) conflicts or will conflict with, or results or will result in a breach of (a) the limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of the Manager, (b) any agreement or other instrument binding upon the Manager that is material to the Manager, or (c) any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Manager, whether foreign or domestic, except in each case where such conflict or breach would not have a Manager Material Adverse Effect. No consent, approval, authorization, order or permit of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency, self-regulatory organization or court or other tribunal, whether foreign or domestic, is required for the performance by the Manager of its obligations under the Manager Agreements, except such as have been obtained and as may be required by the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the Advisers Act and the Exchange Act, the applicable rules and regulations of FINRA or by the securities or Blue Sky laws of the various states and foreign jurisdictions in connection with the offer and sale of the Placement Shares, and except where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, authorization, order, permit or qualification would not have a Manager Material Adverse Effect.

(5) The description of the Manager and its business, and the statements attributable to the Manager, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act and the Advisers Act and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(6) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Manager, threatened to which the Manager is a party or to which any of the properties of the Manager is subject that (i) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Manager’s performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions herein contemplated or (ii) would reasonably be expected to have a Manager Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(7) Except as stated in this Agreement and in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Manager has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Fund to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares in violation of the Exchange Act, and it is not aware of

any such action taken or to be taken by any of its affiliates (for these purposes, not including ▇▇▇▇▇) other than tender offers or share repurchases effected following the date on which the distribution of the Placement Shares is completed, and the issuance or purchase of shares pursuant to the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in each case, so long as such actions are in compliance with all applicable law.

(8) The Manager Agreements are in full force and effect and neither the Fund nor the Manager is in default thereunder, and, no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default under each such agreement, in each case except to the extent that that any such default (x) would not have a material adverse effect on such Manager’s ability to provide services to the Fund, to consummate the transactions herein contemplated or to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) would not have a Manager Material Adverse Effect.

(9) There has not occurred any material adverse change, in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business, prospects or operations of the Manager (other than as a result of a change in the financial markets generally) since the date as of which information is given in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and there have been no transactions entered into by the Manager which are material to the Manager other than those in the ordinary course of its business or as described in the Prospectus, in each case except to the extent that that any such change or transaction (x) would not have a material adverse effect on the Manager’s ability to provide services to the Fund, to consummate the transactions herein contemplated or to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (y) would not have a Manager Material Adverse Effect.

(10) The Manager has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures under Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Advisers Act by the Manager and its supervised persons.

(11) Neither the Manager nor any director or officer of the Manager, nor, to the Manager’s knowledge, any of the Manager’s subsidiaries, employees, agents or representatives (not including, for these purposes, ▇▇▇▇▇), have taken or will take any action in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization or approval of the payment or giving of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any “government official” (including any officer or employee of a government or government-owned or controlled entity or of a public international organization, or any person acting in an official capacity for or on behalf of any of the foregoing, or any political party or party official or candidate for political office) to influence official action or secure an improper advantage; and to the extent required by applicable law, the Manager and its subsidiaries have policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable anti-corruption laws including, without limitation, the FCPA, and will continue to maintain these policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with such laws.

(12) To the extent required by applicable law, the Manager and its subsidiaries have policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or

governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Manager or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the Manager’s knowledge, threatened.

(13) Neither the Manager nor any director or officer thereof, nor, to the Manager’s knowledge, any of its subsidiaries, employees, agents or representatives (not including, for these purposes, ▇▇▇▇▇) is the subject of any Sanctions. The Manager represents and covenants that it will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the offering, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person for the purpose of financing the activities or business of or with any Person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such financing, to the Manager’s knowledge, is the subject of Sanctions.

8. Covenants of the Fund and the Manager. The Fund and the Manager, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with ▇▇▇▇▇ that:

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of any relevant request by the Commission, as applicable, the Fund will promptly advise ▇▇▇▇▇ (i) when, during any period that a prospectus relating to the offer or sale of Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any amendment to the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares shall have become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or for any additional information, affecting or in respect of the Placement Shares, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Fund will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares or any supplement to the Prospectus affecting the Placement Shares unless the Fund has furnished ▇▇▇▇▇ (either directly or through its legal counsel) with a copy for its review prior to filing. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Fund will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Fund will timely file the requisite copies of the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497(c) or Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act, whichever is applicable or, if applicable, will timely file the certification permitted by Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act and will advise ▇▇▇▇▇ of the time and manner of such filing.

(b) During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇ under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will comply so far as it is able and in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, as from time to time in force, and will file with the Commission and the Exchange all documents pursuant to the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act in the manner and within the time period required by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, so far as such

compliance and filings are necessary to permit the continuance of sales of the Placement Shares during such periods in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would, to the knowledge of the Fund and the Manager, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is, to the knowledge of the Fund and the Manager, necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Fund will promptly notify ▇▇▇▇▇ to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Fund will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(c) During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇ under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the Exchange and to qualify, if necessary, the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such United States jurisdictions as ▇▇▇▇▇ reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Fund shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities, file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or meet any other requirement in connection with this Section 8(c) deemed by the Fund to be unduly burdensome.

(d) The Fund will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Fund’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(e) Except as otherwise agreed by the parties, the Fund or the Manager agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Placement Shares (including all printing and engraving costs), (ii) all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent of the Placement Shares, (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, (iv) all reasonable fees and expenses of the Fund’s counsel and the Fund’s independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors, (v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts) and the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto, (vi) all filing fees, distribution fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Placement Shares for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws, (vii) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Placement Shares on the Exchange, (viii) the filing fees incident to the review by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Placement Shares, and (ix) all other fees, costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Fund of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Fund nor the Manager will be responsible

for legal fees incurred by ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇’ obligations under this Agreement. The aggregate amount of any discount, commission, expense reimbursement or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with ▇▇▇▇▇’ performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto. The Manager agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses of its counsel.

(f) The Fund will use the Net Proceeds as described in the Prospectus.

(g) The Fund will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by ▇▇▇▇▇ or its agents, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as ▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Fund shall be required to make available documents and senior corporate officers only (i) at the Fund’s principal offices (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties) and (ii) during the Fund’s ordinary business hours. The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this Section 8(g) will include during the term of this Agreement (x) a bring-down diligence conference among ▇▇▇▇▇ and certain officers of the Fund and/or employees of the Manager, as appropriate, upon the delivery by the Fund of a Placement Notice and (y) a diligence conference to occur as promptly as practicable following the Fund’s filing of each of its annual and semi-annual reports on Form N-CSR and N-CSRS, respectively (the “Reports”) whereby the Fund and the Manager will make certain officers of the Fund and/or employees of the Manager, as appropriate, reasonably available to address certain diligence inquiries of ▇▇▇▇▇ and will provide such additional information and documents as ▇▇▇▇▇ may reasonably request. The requirement to conduct a due diligence session under this Section 8(g) shall be waived if at the time such due diligence session is required pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date (as defined below), the Fund shall conduct the due diligence session contemplated by this Section 8(g) at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares.

(h) The Fund agrees that on such dates as the Securities Act shall require, the Fund will (i) file a Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 497 under the Securities Act, which Prospectus Supplement will set forth, within the relevant period, the amount of Placement Shares sold through ▇▇▇▇▇, the Net Proceeds to the Fund and the compensation payable by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to such Placement Shares, and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such Prospectus Supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market.

(i) During the term of this Agreement, each time the Fund (i) files a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or (ii) amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement (other than a Prospectus Supplement filed in accordance with Section 8(h) of this Agreement or a post-effective amendment solely to file this Agreement as an exhibit to the Registration Statement), each of the Fund and the Manager shall furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(i). (Each filing date contemplated in

subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 8(i) is referred to herein as a “Representation Date”). With respect to post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 8(i), if the Fund is not otherwise permitted (including by no-action relief issued by the staff of the Commission) to rely on Rule 486(b) regarding the effective date of a post-effective amendment, the Representation Date shall be the date the Commission declares such amendment effective and all Representation Date deliveries relating thereto which are required by Section 8 shall be delivered on or as promptly as practicable following the date of effectiveness of such amendment. If the Fund is permitted to rely on Rule 486(b) (including by no-action relief issued by the staff of the Commission) in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment, then the Representation Date shall be the date such post-effective amendment is filed with the Commission. The requirement to provide the certificates under this Section 8(i) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such certificate pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with such certificates at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(j) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(j), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Fund shall cause to be furnished to ▇▇▇▇▇ with a written opinion of Ropes & ▇▇▇▇ LLP (the “Fund Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(j)(1), but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, counsel may furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ with a letter to the effect that ▇▇▇▇▇ may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 8(j) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). Additionally, upon the Fund’s filing of a Report, the Fund shall cause Fund Counsel to deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇ the negative assurance letter set forth in Exhibit 8(j)(2). The requirement to provide the opinion of Fund Counsel contemplated by this Section 8(j) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such opinion pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with such opinion of Fund Counsel at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(k) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8(k), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Manager shall cause to be furnished to ▇▇▇▇▇ with a written opinion of counsel, which may be in-house or outside counsel for the Manager (the “Manager Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(k), but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the

Prospectus as then amended or supplemented, or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, counsel may furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ with a letter to the effect that ▇▇▇▇▇ may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 8(k) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). Insofar as any opinion of Manager Counsel relates to or is dependent upon matters governed by Delaware law, Manager Counsel will be permitted to rely on the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Finger, P.A. or such other Delaware counsel as it may select. The requirement to provide the opinion of Manager Counsel contemplated by this Section 8(k) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such opinion pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with such opinion of Manager Counsel at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(l) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, or during any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇, each time that the Registration Statement is amended or the Prospectus supplemented to include additional audited amended financial information the Fund shall cause its independent accountants to furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date of each Representation Date, in form and substance satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇, (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. In the event that the Registration Statement is amended or the Prospectus supplemented to include additional unaudited financial information and upon the filing by the Fund of a semi-annual report on Form N-CSR (“Semi-Annual Report”), and, in each case, to the extent the Fund’s independent accountants have not been engaged by the Fund to perform a review of such financial information, the Fund shall deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇ on the date that such amendment to the Registration Statement is filed or that the Prospectus is so supplemented, or within three (3) business days of the Fund’s filing of a Semi-Annual Report, as applicable, a certificate of the Fund’s chief financial officer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 8(l), or in such other form or forms as are acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “CFO Certificate”). The requirement to provide a Comfort Letter, or CFO Certificate, as applicable, under this Section 8(l) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of the Comfort Letter or CFO Certificate pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding

the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring applicable Representation Date, the Fund shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with a Comfort Letter or CFO Certificate, as applicable, at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(m) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, each of the Fund and the Manager shall furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ with a certificate of its respective Secretary or other authorized officer or representative, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ▇▇▇▇▇. The requirement to provide a certificate under this Section 8(m) shall be waived if at the time of the required delivery of such certificate pursuant to this Agreement there is no Placement Notice outstanding or the Fund has suspended the sale of, or otherwise does not intend to sell, Placement Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fund subsequently decides to deliver a Placement Notice or otherwise resume the sale of Placement Shares prior to the next occurring Representation Date, the Fund shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇ with such certificate at or prior to the delivery of such Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of Placement Shares, dated the date of the Placement Notice or the resumption of the sale of the Placement Shares, as applicable.

(n) Each Placement Notice delivered by the Fund to ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at the time such Placement Notice is delivered, and that the Fund has complied in all material respects with all of the agreements to be performed by it hereunder at or prior to such time.

(o) The Fund (including its agents and representatives, other than ▇▇▇▇▇ in its capacity as such) will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder, except by means of the Prospectus or, upon ▇▇▇▇▇’ prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, other sales material permitted by the Securities Act or Investment Company Act.

(p) The Fund will comply in all material respects with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(q) The Fund will not, without giving ▇▇▇▇▇ at least three (3) business days prior written notice of a proposed sale, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Shares during the period beginning on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder and ending on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; provided, however, that such restrictions will not be required in connection

with the Fund’s issuance or sale of Shares pursuant to (i) the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and (ii) conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

(r) The Fund will furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇ and its counsel (at the expense of the Fund) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the registration and issuance of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement that are filed with the Commission during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as ▇▇▇▇▇ may from time to time reasonably request.

(s) Each of the Fund and the Manager acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇ has informed the Fund that ▇▇▇▇▇ may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act, Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act, purchase and sell Placement Shares for its own account at the same time as Placement Shares are being sold by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) the Fund shall not be deemed to have authorized or consented to any such purchases or sales by ▇▇▇▇▇ and (ii) no such purchases or sales shall take place while a Placement Notice is in effect (except to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇ may engage in sales of Placement Shares (A) purchased or deemed purchased from the Fund as a “riskless principal” or in a similar capacity or (B) with respect to errors that cause ▇▇▇▇▇ to take an unplanned principal positions, in each case only to the extent such sales are permitted under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act).

(t) The Fund will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Fund to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than ▇▇▇▇▇; provided, however, the Fund may participate in tender offers or share repurchases effected following the date on which the distribution of the Placement Shares is completed and may issue and sell Shares pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in each case, so long as such actions are in compliance with all applicable law.

9. Conditions to ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Obligations. The obligations of ▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Fund and the Manager herein, to the due performance by the Fund and the Manager of their respective obligations hereunder and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by ▇▇▇▇▇ in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) The Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall be available for the sale of (i) all Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placements and not yet sold by ▇▇▇▇▇ and (ii) all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by the Placement Notice relating to such Placement.

(b) None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Fund of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other

federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to or affecting the Placement Shares; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including any notice objecting to the use of the Registration Statement or order pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Investment Company Act having been issued and proceedings therefor initiated, or to the knowledge of the Fund, threatened by the Commission; (iii) receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Fund’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is required.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not have advised the Fund that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of a material fact regarding ▇▇▇▇▇ that in ▇▇▇▇▇’ opinion is material, or omits to state a fact regarding ▇▇▇▇▇ that in ▇▇▇▇▇’ opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading.

(e) ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have received the opinion of Fund Counsel required to be delivered pursuant to Section 8(j) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 8(j).

All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Fund will furnish ▇▇▇▇▇ with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as ▇▇▇▇▇ shall reasonably request.

(l) The Placement Shares shall have been approved for listing on the Exchange, subject only to notice of issuance.

(m) There shall not have occurred any event that would permit ▇▇▇▇▇ to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12(a).

(n) Prior to the date hereof, FINRA shall have confirmed that it has no unresolved objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the placement terms and arrangements set forth herein.

10. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Fund. The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ▇▇▇▇▇, its directors, members, officers and each person, if any, who controls ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 497 under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any sales material, any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 10(e) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Fund; and

(3) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by ▇▇▇▇▇), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (1) or (2) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission, or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund by ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Indemnification by ▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Fund and the Manager, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 10, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) any failure by ▇▇▇▇▇ to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements applicable to Placement Shares and (ii) any untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund or the Manager by ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). The Fund and the Manager acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇ has not furnished any information to the Fund for inclusion in the Prospectus.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability

hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to ▇▇▇▇▇, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by ▇▇▇▇▇; counsel to the Fund, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act shall be selected by the Fund; and counsel to the Manager, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act shall be selected by the Manager. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Fund, each of its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Manager, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person who controls the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, in each case 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. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 10(a)(2) effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such

settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification and Contribution. The provisions of this Section 10 hereof shall not affect any agreements among the Fund and the Manager with respect to indemnification of each other or contribution between themselves.

(f) Contribution.

(1) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Fund and the Manager on the one hand and ▇▇▇▇▇ on the other hand from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Fund and the Manager on the one hand and of ▇▇▇▇▇ on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(2) The relative benefits received by the Fund and the Manager on the one hand and ▇▇▇▇▇ on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the Net Proceeds from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Fund and the Manager and the total discounts and commissions received by ▇▇▇▇▇ as calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2, bear to the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(3) The relative fault of the Fund and the Manager on the one hand and ▇▇▇▇▇ on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Fund, by the Manager, or by ▇▇▇▇▇ and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(4) The Fund, the Manager, and ▇▇▇▇▇ agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(f) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(f). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 10(f) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or

defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10(f), ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Placement Shares actually distributed by ▇▇▇▇▇ exceeds the amount of any damages that ▇▇▇▇▇ has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(6) 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.

(7) For purposes of this Section 10(f), each person, if any, who controls ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contributions as ▇▇▇▇▇, and each person who controls the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Fund and the Manager and each trustee, director or member of the Fund and the Manager shall have the same rights to contribution as the Fund or the Manager.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls ▇▇▇▇▇ within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and or by or on behalf of the Fund and/or the Manager, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor, or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to ▇▇▇▇▇ or to the Fund or the Manager, its respective directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of the Fund or the Manager within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 10.

11. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of ▇▇▇▇▇, the Fund and the Manager herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇, any controlling persons, or the Fund and/or the Manager (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

12. Termination.

(a) ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Fund Material Adverse Effect or Manager Material Adverse Effect, has occurred which, in the reasonable judgment of ▇▇▇▇▇, may materially impair the investment quality of the Placement Shares, (ii) the Fund or the Manager shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform in all material respects any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder; provided, however, in the case of any failure of the Fund or the Manager to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 8(i), 8(j), 8(k), 8(l) or 8(m) ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date of such Representation Date pursuant to which such delivery was required; provided, further, that, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right to suspend its obligations hereunder, regardless of whether a Placement Notice is pending, beginning on the sixth (6^th) day after the date of any Representation Date if any certification, opinion, or letter referenced in the foregoing proviso has not yet been (or caused to be) delivered; (iii) any other condition of ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on the Exchange shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 17, Section 19 and Section 21 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If ▇▇▇▇▇ elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide the required notice as specified herein.

(b) The Fund shall have the right, by giving notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 17, Section 19 and Section 21 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have the right, by giving notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time following the period of twelve (12) months after the date of this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 12(a), (b) or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 8(e), Section 10, Section 11, Section 17, Section 19 and Section 21 shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 12(b) or 12(c), any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by ▇▇▇▇▇ or the Fund or the Manager, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇ shall not be entitled to reimbursement for its out of pocket expenses except to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court.

18. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit.

and (c) ▇▇▇▇▇ may have interests that differ from those of the Fund and the Manager. The Fund and the Manager waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims any of them may have against ▇▇▇▇▇ arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares as contemplated by this Agreement.

22. Disclaimer of Liability of Trustees and Beneficiaries. A copy of the Declaration of Trust of the Fund is on file with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and notice hereby is given that this Agreement is executed on behalf of the Fund by an officer or Trustee of the Fund in his or her capacity as an officer or Trustee of the Fund and not individually and that the obligations under or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and properties of the Fund.

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate of PIMCO Income Opportunity Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the “Fund”), is being delivered on behalf of the Fund by [ ], in connection with the Sales Agreement, dated July 6, 2018, among the Fund, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (the “Agent”) in relation to the issuance and sale from time to time of shares of up to 3,000,000 shares of the Fund’s common stock through the Agent.

1. I hereby certify that I am the duly elected Chief Financial Officer of the Fund.

2. I have reviewed the Fund’s unaudited semi-annual financial statements and financial highlights as of and for the semi-annual period ended December 31, 20 attached hereto as Exhibit A and included in the Fund’s semi-annual report on Form N-CSRS (the “Semi-Annual Financial Statements”) and for purposes of this certification, have inquired of other officials of the Fund, as necessary, who have responsibility for certain financial and accounting matters.

3. Nothing has come to my attention based on my review of the Semi-Annual Financial Statements and my inquiries of other Fund officials as stated above, that causes me to believe that:

(a) any material modifications should be made to the Semi-Annual Financial Statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and

(b) the Semi-Annual Financial Statements do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
