Each of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Acquiring Fund, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as (i) the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) rights to indemnity and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal and state securities laws.

Any breach of this Section 7.10 is subject to cure within 30 calendar days of either (i) discovery thereof by the Acquiring Fund or (ii) written notice thereof by any Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.11** **Maintenance of Effective Leverage Ratio** 

For so long as the Acquiring Fund fails to provide the information required under Sections 7.1(n) and 7.1(o) the Investor may calculate, for purposes of Section 2.6(b)(ii)(A)(2) of the Statement, the Effective Leverage Ratio using the most recently received information required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(n) and 7.1(o) and the Market Values of securities determined by the third-party pricing service which provided the Market Values to the Acquiring Fund on the most recent date that information was properly provided by the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.1(n) and 7.1(o) The Effective Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Investor in such instances shall be binding on the Acquiring Fund.

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

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.12** **Calculation and Paying Agent**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.2** **No Waivers** 

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

(b) No failure or delay by the Acquiring Fund or the Investor in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the RVMTP 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 Acquiring Fund or the Investor in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the RVMTP Shares or any other Related Document shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Acquiring Fund or the Investor hereunder or shall operate as a limitation or waiver thereof. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.3** **Expenses and Indemnification** 

(a) The Acquiring Fund shall upon demand reimburse the Investor (to the extent that payments for the following items are not made under the other provisions hereof) for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and costs of outside counsel, and reasonable consulting, accounting, appraisal, investment banking, and similar professional fees and charges) incurred by the Investor in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that the Acquiring Fund shall not be responsible for the Investor's costs in connection with any subsequent offer and sale of the RVMTP Shares made by the Investor pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Acquiring Fund shall not be responsible under this Section 8.3(a) for the fees and costs of more than one law firm in any one jurisdiction with respect to any one proceeding or set of related proceedings for the Investor, unless the Investor shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to them that are different from or additional to those available to the Acquiring Fund.

------

(b) The Acquiring Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other Indemnified Person of the Investor from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) which are related to or arise out of (A) any material misstatements or any material statements omitted to be made in the N-14 (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (B) any claim by any third party relating to the offering or issuance of the RVMTP Shares by the Acquiring Fund or the holding of the RVMTP Shares by the Investor (x) that the Investor aided and abetted a breach of a fiduciary duty by the Acquiring Fund or any director or officer of the Acquiring Fund or (y) arising from any act by the Acquiring Fund or any director or officer of the Acquiring Fund (excluding in any such case of either clauses (A) or (B), claims, losses, liabilities or expenses arising out of or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

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

------

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

------

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

<br> (e) Nothing in this Section 8.3 is intended to limit any party's obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the RVMTP Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.4** **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 Acquiring Fund and the Investor; provided, that the Acquiring Fund shall not make or agree to any amendment or waiver to the Declaration or the Statement that materially and adversely affects any preference, right or power of the RVMTP Shares or the Holders or Designated Owners thereof except as permitted under the Declaration or the Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.5** **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 the Acquiring Fund nor the Investor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (other than by operation of law), except that (1) any transferee satisfying the requirements set forth in Section 2.1 and which has executed and delivered to the Acquiring Fund the transferee certificate attached as Exhibit C shall, prior to registration of any RVMTP Shares under the Securities Act, have the rights set forth in Section 7.15 and 8.15 shall, so long as such transferee has provided a means for the Acquiring Fund to transmit such information electronically to it, be entitled to receive the information delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1(n) and 7.1(o) and such transferees shall be deemed a party to this Agreement for purposes of Sections 7.1(n) and 7.1(o) and the confidentiality provisions herein as specified in the transferee certificate and (2) the Investor may assign its rights or obligations to any affiliates of the Investor or any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) in which the Investor retains the entire residual interest. Any assignment without such prior written consent shall be void.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.6** **Term of this Agreement** 

This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the registration of any Outstanding RVMTP Shares under the Securities Act and (b) the payment in full of all amounts then due and owing to the Investor hereunder and under the RVMTP Shares; and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Section 8.3, Section 8.7, Section 8.8, Section 8.10, Section 8.11, the second sentence of Section 8.12, and Section 8.13 (for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement in the case of Section 8.13) shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Investor may assign its rights or obligations to any affiliates of the Investor or any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) in which the Investor retains the entire residual interest. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Investor sells all of its RVMTP Shares and, in the case of a sale to a tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle), neither the Investor nor any affiliate of the Investor retains any residual interest in any RVMTP Shares sold to such tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) other than in connection with the Investor's repurchase of the RVMTP Shares from the tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle), no further amounts will be due and owing to the Investor with respect to such RVMTP Shares for purposes of clause (b) of this Section 8.6.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.7** **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 IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.8** **Waiver of Jury Trial** 

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.9** **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. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be signed and/or transmitted by e-mail or a .pdf document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign, Adobesign, or other electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the party so signing as a paper copy bearing such party's handwritten signature. The parties further consent and agree that (i) to the extent a party signs this Agreement using electronic signature technology, by clicking "SIGN", such party is signing this Agreement electronically; and (ii) the electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.10** **Beneficiaries**

For this purpose, "tax structure" is limited to any facts relevant to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction and does not include information relating to the specific identity of the parties.

Pursuant to Section 8.6 above, the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 8.13 shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.14** **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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.15** **Consent Rights of the Majority Participants to Certain Actions.** 

For so long as none of the RVMTP Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Majority Participants, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Board of Trustees will take or authorize the taking of any of the actions set forth under clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 8.15:

<br> (a) The termination by the Acquiring Fund of any Rating Agency or the selection of any Other Rating Agency, either in replacement for a Rating Agency or as an additional Rating Agency with respect to the RVMTP Shares.

(b) The Acquiring Fund issuing or permitting to exist any "senior security" (as defined in the 1940 Act as of the date hereof or, in the event such definition shall be amended, with such changes to the definition thereof as consented to by the Majority Participants) other than the RVMTP Shares issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement or indebtedness for borrowed money of the Acquiring Fund, except (i) borrowings for temporary purposes in an amount not to exceed 5% of the assets of the Acquiring Fund, which borrowings are repaid within sixty (60) days of the incurrence thereof, (ii) the issuance of senior securities or the incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money, the proceeds of which will be used for the exchange, retirement, redemption or repurchase of the RVMTP Shares, and costs incurred in connection therewith, (iii) the Acquiring Fund's previously issued and outstanding Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, if any; (iv) the issuance of additional series of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (including, but not limited to, any additional Series of RVMTP Shares) or other Preferred Shares and (v) as may be otherwise approved or consented to by the Majority Participants, provided that if any such "senior security" is created or incurred by the Acquiring Fund it shall not require the approval of the Majority Participants if the Acquiring Fund exchanges, redeems, retires or terminates such "senior security" or otherwise cures such non-compliance within ten (10) Business Days of receiving notice of the existence thereof.

------

(c) The Acquiring Fund (i) creating or incurring or permitting to be incurred or to exist any lien on any other funds, accounts or other property held under the Declaration or the Statement, except as permitted by the Declaration or the Statement or (ii) except for any lien for the benefit of the Custodian of the Acquiring Fund on the assets of the Acquiring Fund held by such Custodian, or any lien arising by operation of law, pledging any portfolio security to secure any senior securities or other liabilities to be incurred by the Acquiring Fund (including under any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) of which the residual floating rate trust certificates will be owned by the Acquiring Fund) unless the securities pledged pursuant to all such pledge or other security arrangements are valued for purposes of such security arrangements in an aggregate amount not less than 70% of their aggregate Market Value for purposes of determining the value of the collateral required to be posted or otherwise provided under all such security arrangements; provided, that the required collateral value under such security arrangements shall not exceed the Market Value of the exposure of each secured party to the credit of the Acquiring Fund; and provided further, that it shall not require the approval of the Majority Participants if any pledge or security interest in violation of the preceding sentence is created or incurred by the Acquiring Fund and the Acquiring Fund cures such violation within ten (10) Business Days of receiving notice of the existence thereof.

(d) Approval of any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Declaration or the Statement, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, that would affect any preference, right or power of the RVMTP Shares or the Holders thereof provided, however, that (i) a change in the capitalization of the Acquiring Fund in accordance with Section 2.9 of the Statement shall not be considered to affect the rights and preferences of the RVMTP Shares, and (ii) a division of an RVMTP Share shall be deemed to affect such preferences, rights or powers only if the terms of such division materially and adversely affect the Holders of the RVMTP Shares. For purposes of the foregoing, no matter shall be deemed to affect any preference, right or power of an RVMTP Share of any Series or the Holder thereof unless such matter (A) alters or abolishes any preferential right of such RVMTP Share, or (B) creates, alters or abolishes any right in respect of redemption of such RVMTP Share (other than solely as a result of a division of an RVMTP Share).

(e) Approval of any action to be taken pursuant to Sections 2.6(h) and 2.16 of the Statement other than the issuance of additional series of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, including, but not limited to, any additional Series of RVMTP Shares, or other Preferred Shares.

------

In addition, if the Board of Trustees shall designate a replacement to the S&P Municipal Bond 7 Day High Grade Rate Index pursuant to the definition of SIFMA Municipal Swap Index contained in the Statement, the Acquiring Fund shall notify the Holders of the RVMTP Shares within five (5) Business Days of such designation, and if within thirty (30) days of such notice the Majority Participants shall have objected in writing to the designated replacement, the Board of Trustees shall designate a replacement to such index as agreed to between the Acquiring Fund and the Majority Participants. In such event, the replacement index initially approved by the Board of Trustees shall be the index in effect for purposes of the Statement until a new index has been approved by the Acquiring Fund and the Majority Participants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.16** **No Individual Liability** 

This Agreement is executed by or on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Acquiring Fund, and the Board of Trustees of each Acquired Fund, as applicable, 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, no trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent of the Acquiring Fund, or any Acquired Fund, as applicable, 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.

#### ELIGIBLE ASSETS
On the Effective Date and at all times thereafter:

<br> 1. "Eligible Assets" are hereby defined to consist only of the following as of the time of

investment:

<br> A. Debt obligations

i. "Municipal securities," defined as obligations of a State, the District of Columbia, a U.S. territory or a political subdivision thereof, and including general obligations, limited obligation bonds, revenue bonds, and obligations that satisfy the requirements of section 142(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 issued by or on behalf of any State, the District of Columbia, any U.S. territory or any political subdivision thereof, including any municipal corporate instrumentality of 1 or more States, or any public agency or authority of any State, the District of Columbia, any U.S. territory or any political subdivision of thereof, including obligations of any of the foregoing types related to financing a 501(c)(3) organization. For the purposes of the foregoing, "municipal securities" may include, "municipal securities" acquired via origination or acquisition by the Fund, loan assignments, loan participations or similar interests that may not be considered "securities" as defined under the Securities Act (such securities, "Municipal Loan Investments"), provided that the Fund (i) will not invest more than 10% of the Fund's total assets in such Municipal Loan Investments and (ii) will not invest in a Municipal Loan Investment if it would result in more than 3% of the Fund's total assets being loaned, directly or indirectly, to a particular borrower (in each case measured at the time of investment). The purchase of any municipal security will be based upon the Investment Manager's assessment of an asset's relative value in terms of current yield, price, credit quality, and future prospects; and the Investment Manager will monitor the Acquiring Fund's creditworthiness of its portfolio investments and analyze economic, political and demographic trends affecting the markets for such assets. Eligible Assets shall include any municipal securities that at the time of purchase are paying scheduled principal and interest or if at the time of purchase are in payment default, then in the sole judgment of the Investment Manager are expected to produce payments of principal and interest whose present value exceeds the purchase price.

<br> ii. Debt obligations of the United States.

<br> iii. Debt obligations issued, insured, or guaranteed by a department or an agency of the U.S. Government, if the obligation, insurance, or guarantee commits the full faith and credit of the United States for the repayment of the obligation.

------

<br> iv. Debt obligations of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority guaranteed by the Secretary of Transportation under Section 9 of the National Capital Transportation Act of 1969.

<br> v. Debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

<br> vi. Debt obligations, participations or other instruments of or issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Government National Mortgage Association.

<br> vii. Debt obligations which are or ever have been sold by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation pursuant to sections 305 or 306 of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Act.

<br> viii. Debt obligations of any agency named in 12 U.S.C. § 24(Seventh) as eligible to issue obligations that a national bank may underwrite, deal in, purchase and sell for the bank's own account, including qualified Canadian government obligations.

<br> ix. Debt obligations of issuers other than those specified in (i) through (viii) above that are not "distressed or in default" and that are "marketable." For these purposes, an obligation is

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "marketable" if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) it is registered under the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) it is offered and sold pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144A; 17 CFR 230.144A; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) it can be sold with reasonable promptness at a price that corresponds reasonably to its fair value; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(bb)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; not "distressed or in default" if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) it has received an investment grade rating from an NRSRO or, if not rated by an NRSRO, from the Investment Manager's internal rating analysis,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) the obligor had adequate capacity to meet financial commitments under the security for the projected life of the asset or exposure as solely determined by the Investment Manager based on the Investment Manager's internal credit due diligence, which capacity is presumed if the risk of default by the obligor is low and the full and timely repayment of principal and interest at the time of acquisition by the Acquiring Fund was expected, or

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) it is purchased by the Acquiring Fund at a price that the Investment Manager believes is below the aggregate principal and interest expected to be received on the obligation, provided that, with respect to assets qualifying as "not 'distressed or in default'" by way of this clause (C), the Acquiring Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in such assets.

x. Other assets that are not described in (i) through (viii) above, if the Investment Manager provides written notice to the Investor indicating the Acquiring Fund's intent to invest in such asset and describing such asset in reasonable detail at least five Business Days prior to such investment and the Investor affirmatively approves such investment. The Investor will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to the Investment Manager's request within such five Business Day period.

xi. Certificates or other securities evidencing ownership interests in a municipal bond trust structure (generally referred to as a tender option bond structure) that invests in (a) debt obligations of the types described in (i) above or (b) depository receipts reflecting ownership interests in accounts holding debt obligations of the types described in (i) above.

<br> xii. Bank capital securities of both non-U.S. (foreign) and U.S. issuers, other obligations including without limitation certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and fixed time deposits.

The bonds, notes and other debt securities referenced in (A) above shall be defined as Eligible

Assets. An asset shall not lose its status as an Eligible Asset solely by virtue of the fact that:

<br> • it provides for repayment of principal and interest in any form including fixed and floating rate, zero interest, capital appreciation, discount, leases, and payment in kind; or

<br> • it is for long-term or short-term financing purposes.

<br> B. Derivatives

<br> i. Interest rate derivatives;

<br> ii. Swaps, futures, forwards, structured notes, options and swaptions related to Eligible Assets or on an index related to Eligible Assets; or

<br> iii. Credit default swaps.

<br> C. Other Assets

<br> i. Cash;

<br> ii. Repurchase agreements on assets described in A above; or

------

iii. Taxable fixed-income securities, for the purpose of acquiring control of an Acquiring Fund whose municipal bonds (a) the Acquiring Fund already owns and (b) have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate that such investment should enable the Acquiring Fund to better maximize its existing investment in such Acquiring Fund, provided that the Acquiring Fund may invest no more than 0.5% of its total assets in such securities.

D. Assets not otherwise covered in A, B or C above that the Investment Manager may determine are in the best interest of shareholders of the Acquiring Fund to acquire in pursuing a workout arrangement with Acquiring Funds (of the types described in A above) of defaulted obligations, including, but not limited to, loans to the defaulted Acquiring Fund or another party pursuant to the workout arrangement, or a debt, equity or other interest in the defaulted issuer or other party to the workout arrangement, provided that the Acquiring Fund may not invest more than 2% of its total assets in any such assets (as measured at the time of investment). The Acquiring Fund agrees that it will only acquire equity securities pursuant to this Section 1.D. that it reasonably expects at the time of acquisition to hold for a period not to exceed five (5) years from the date of acquisition.

<br> E. Other assets, upon written agreement of all Holders of the RVMTP Shares ("Holders") that such assets are eligible for purchase by the Holders.

F. Shares of any investment company registered under the 1940 Act sub-classified as a "closed-end company" pursuant to Section 5(a)(2) of the 1940 Act that has adopted and disclosed an investment policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its Assets (as defined in Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act) in municipal securities.

G. Shares of any investment company registered under the 1940 Act sub-classified as an "open-end company" pursuant to Section 5(a)(1) of the 1940 Act that has adopted and disclosed in its registration statement an investment policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the value of its Assets (as defined in Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act) in municipal securities.

<br> 2. The Investment Manager has instituted policies and procedures that it believes are sufficient to ensure that the Acquiring Fund and it comply with the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Exhibit B to the Agreement.

3. The Acquiring Fund will, upon request, provide the Holder(s) and their internal and external auditors and inspectors as the Holder(s) may from time to time designate, with all reasonable assistance and access to information and records of the Acquiring Fund relevant to the Acquiring Fund's compliance with and performance of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Exhibit B to the Agreement, but only for the purposes of internal and external audit.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Exchange Agreement.

In connection with the proposed sale by the Transferor of _______________ RVMTP Shares (the "Transferred Shares") to the undersigned transferee (the "Transferee"), the undersigned agrees and acknowledges, on its own behalf, and makes the representations and warranties, on its own behalf, as set forth in this certificate (this "Transferee Certificate") to the Acquiring Fund and the Transferor:

❑ it is a tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) in which all investors are QIBs that are Closed-End Funds, Banks, insurance companies, or registered open-end management investment companies; or

❑ it is a person which the Acquiring Fund has consented in writing to permit to be the holder of the Transferred Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee certifies that it (check a box):

------

❑ is not a PIMCO Person that after such sale and transfer, would own more than 20% of the Outstanding RVMTP Shares; or

❑ has received the prior written consent of the Acquiring Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee understands and acknowledges that the Transferred Shares are "restricted securities" and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, are being offered for sale pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering with the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law, pursuant to an exemption therefrom or in a transaction not subject thereto and in each case in compliance with the conditions for transfer set forth in this Transferee Certificate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee is purchasing the Transferred Shares for its own account for investment, and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, subject to any requirements of law that the disposition of its property be at all times within its or their control and subject to its or their ability to resell such securities pursuant to Rule 144A or any exemption from registration available under the Securities Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of each subsequent holder or owner of the Transferred Shares by its acceptance thereof will agree to offer, sell or otherwise transfer the Transferred Shares only to Persons that are (A)(i) QIBs that are Closed-End Funds, Banks, insurance companies or registered open-end management investment companies, (ii) tender option bond trusts (or similar vehicles) in which all investors are QIBS that are Closed-End Funds, Banks, insurance companies, or registered open-end management investment companies, in each case, pursuant to Rule 144A or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, in a manner not involving any public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, or (iii) other investors which the Acquiring Fund has consented in writing to permit to be a holder of the Transferred Shares and (B) unless the prior written consent of the Acquiring Fund has been obtained, not PIMCO Persons, if such PIMCO Persons would, after such sale and transfer, own more than 20% of the Outstanding RVMTP Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee acknowledges that the RVMTP Shares were issued in book-entry form and are represented by one global certificate and that the global certificate representing the RVMTP Shares (unless sold to the public in an underwritten offering of the RVMTP Shares pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act) contains a legend substantially to the following effect:

------

THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES ACT"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, OR NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION.

THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES TO OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER SUCH SECURITY ONLY TO (1)(A) A PERSON THAT THE HOLDER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A "QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER" THAT IS A REGISTERED CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANY, THE SHARES OF WHICH ARE TRADED ON A NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE, BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES OR REGISTERED OPEN-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES, IN EACH CASE, IN AN OFFER AND SALE MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A OR ANOTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN A MANNER NOT INVOLVING ANY PUBLIC OFFERING WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 4(a)(2) OF THE SECURITIES ACT; (B) A TENDER OPTION BOND TRUST (OR SIMILAR VEHICLE) IN WHICH ALL INVESTORS ARE PERSONS THE HOLDER REASONABLY BELIEVES ARE QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYERS THAT ARE REGISTERED CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES, THE SHARES OF WHICH ARE TRADED ON A NATIONAL SECURITIES EXCHANGE, BANKS, INSURANCE COMPANIES, OR REGISTERED OPEN-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES; OR (C) A PERSON THAT THE ISSUER OF THE SECURITY HAS APPROVED IN WRITING TO BE THE HOLDER OF THE SECURITY AND (2) UNLESS THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE ISSUER OF THE SECURITY IS OBTAINED, NOT A PIMCO PERSON (AS DEFINED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED APRIL 17, 2024, BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THE SECURITY AND BANC OF AMERICA PREFERRED FUNDING CORPORATION), IF SUCH PIMCO PERSON WOULD, AFTER SUCH SALE AND TRANSFER, OWN MORE THAN 20% OF THE OUTSTANDING RVMTP SHARES.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Transferee has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Transferred Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. *Request for Registration*. If the Fund receives from the Majority Holders (referred to as the "**Initiating Holder(s)**") a request in writing that the Fund effect any Registration with respect to the Registrable Securities, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Fund shall (i) within ten (10) days of receipt of such written request, give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities ("**Demand Registration**") which the Fund has been so requested to register, together with all other Registrable Securities which the Fund has been requested to register by Holders thereof by written request given to the Fund within fifteen (15) days after receiving written notice from the Fund, subject to the limitations of this Section 3. The Fund shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any Registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 after the Fund has effected one Registration pursuant to this Section 3.1 and such Registration has been declared or ordered effective (and has not been subject to a "stop order" of the Commission). The substantive provisions of Section 3.3 shall be applicable to any Registration initiated under this Section 3.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. *Right of Deferral*. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fund shall not be obligated to file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3 or take any action pursuant to Section 6 if the Fund furnishes to those Holders a certificate signed by the president or chairman of the Board of the Fund stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be materially detrimental to the Fund or its shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future. In such event, the Fund's obligation to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed 90 days from the receipt of the request to file the registration by that Holder; *provided*, that the Fund shall not exercise the right to delay a request contained in this Section 3.2 more than once in any 12 month period, and *provided further*, that during such 90 day period, the Fund shall not file a Registration Statement with respect to any preferred shares of the Fund except as otherwise may be agreed in writing by the Parties; and provided further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Fund shall not be required to file a Registration Statement at any time when the Fund reasonably believes upon the advice of counsel that doing so would violate applicable law or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other regulatory entity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. *Underwriting in Demand Registration*.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Notice of Underwriting*. If the Initiating Holder(s) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Fund as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 3, and the Fund shall include that information in the written notice referred to in Section 3.1 of this Agreement. The right of any Holder to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's agreement to participate in the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration*. The Fund shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form for an underwritten offering made solely by selling shareholders with the underwriter or, if more than one, the lead underwriter acting as the representative of the underwriters (the "**Underwriters' Representative**") selected for the underwriting by the Initiating Holder and with the consent of the Fund, not to be unreasonably withheld.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Marketing Limitation in Demand Registration*. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, in the event the Underwriters' Representative advises the Fund in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of RVMTP Shares requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and/or the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Fund shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Registration by all such selling Holders (including the Initiating Holder(s)); *provided, however*, that the number of Registrable Securities to be included in any such underwriting held by Holders shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Fund, its Affiliates and PIMCO Persons are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. Unless the prior written consent of the Majority Holders has been obtained, the number of the Registrable Securities included in any such underwriting shall not be reduced to less than 90% of the number of the Registrable Securities requested to be included. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 3.3(c) shall be withdrawn from the Registration. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the foregoing, the Fund or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest one share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration*. If any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than the Initiating Holder(s)) disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Fund and the Underwriters' Representative proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting, delivered at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. If any Initiating Holder elects to withdraw, such withdrawal shall be conditioned on the payment by such withdrawing Initiating Holder to the Fund of the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with such withdrawal (which Registration Expenses are to be calculated on a per share basis according to the total Registration Expenses then incurred and the total number of Registrable Securities and, once calculated, such allocation of the Registration Expenses to the withdrawal to be made proportionally based on the number of withdrawn securities to the total number of Registrable Securities). Such payment obligation shall be allocated severally among the withdrawing Initiating Holders (such allocation to be made proportionally among the withdrawing Initiating Holders based on the number of withdrawn securities held by each of such holders and the total number of withdrawn securities held by all withdrawing Initiating Holders), and the payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the delivery to the withdrawing Initiating Holders of an invoice stating such Registration Expense in reasonable detail. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Expenses of Registration**. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any Registration pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be borne by the Fund.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Assignability of Registration Rights; Termination of Registration Rights; Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Assignability of Registration Rights.* Except as provided in Section 8.11, no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party to this Agreement.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Termination of Registration Rights.* The rights to cause the Fund to register Registrable Securities granted under Section 3 of this Agreement and to receive notices pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the then current Term Redemption Date or Early Term Redemption Date (each as defined in the Statement and as each definition may be amended therein from time to time), (ii) a notice of redemption having been issued by the Fund under the Statement for the redemption of all of the Registrable Securities unless a Redemption Default (as defined in the Statement) has occurred and remains outstanding, or the repurchase by the Fund (including by exchange of securities) and cancellation of all of the Registrable Securities and (iii) the date a Demand Registration has been effected and the Registrable Securities have been sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement and Prospectus relating thereto or all Holders have withdrawn from the Demand Registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Indemnification**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Fund's Indemnification of Holders*. The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder and each other Holder Indemnified Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) ("**Holder Losses**") which are related to or arise out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or relate to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder or its Affiliates furnished in writing to the Fund by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or its Affiliates, or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6(e)(iv), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Fund has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of a notice that the Fund has complied with Section 6(h) above or (iii) such Holder Losses were incurred in connection with any offer and sale made during a period when the Fund has exercised its right of deferral pursuant to Section 3.2 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Holders' Indemnification of Fund*. Each Holder, severally and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each other Fund Indemnified Person from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by them (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel) ("**Fund Losses**") which are related to or arise out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or relate to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder or its Affiliates furnished in writing to the Fund by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or its Affiliates or such Holder's proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto; (B) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 6(e)(iv), the use by such Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Fund has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is unavailable for use by such Holder and prior to the receipt by such Holder of a notice that the Fund has complied with Section 6(h) above or (C) such Fund Losses were incurred in connection with any offer and sale made during a period when the Fund has exercised its right of deferral pursuant to Section 3.2 above. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 7.2 be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Indemnification Procedure*. If any action, suit, proceeding or investigation shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (the "**Indemnified Party**"), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the "**Indemnifying Party**") in writing with reasonable promptness; *provided*, *however*, that any failure by an Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to separate counsel of its own choice to represent it, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there exist actual or potential conflicting interests between the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party, including situations in which one or more legal defenses may be available to such Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; *provided*, *however*, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties of the other party; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and any counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party.

The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No Indemnifying Party will, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnification may be sought by the Indemnified Party hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action, suit, proceeding or investigation) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability and obligations arising therefrom.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Contribution*. Each Indemnifying Party also agrees that if any indemnification sought by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement is unavailable or insufficient, for any reason, to hold harmless the Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), then the Indemnifying Party, in order to provide for just and equitable contribution, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, liabilities, damages and expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Fund on the one hand and the Holders on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the actions taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the proposed transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any misstatement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact) relates to information supplied by the Fund on the one hand, or the Holder on the other, the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, misstatement or alleged omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. No Person found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder under this Section 7.4 be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct. The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law or otherwise.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *No Limitations.* Nothing in this Section 7 is intended to limit any Party's obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the RVMTP Shares, provided that no amount shall be reimbursed twice in any event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Conflicts*. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Miscellaneous.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Governing Law*. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic law of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *No Waivers.*

(a) The obligations of the Fund and the Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees hereunder shall not in any way be modified or limited by reference to any other document, instrument or agreement (including, without limitation, the RVMTP Shares). The rights of the Shareholder hereunder are separate from and in addition to any rights that any Holder of any RVMTP Share may have under the terms of such RVMTP Share or otherwise.

(b) No failure or delay by the Fund or the Shareholder in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the RVMTP Shares or any other agreement 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 Shareholder in exercising any right, power or privilege under or in respect of the RVMTP Shares or any other agreement shall affect the rights, powers or privileges of the Fund or the Shareholder hereunder or shall operate as a limitation or waiver thereof. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Specific Performance*. Each Party hereby acknowledges that the remedies at law of the other Parties for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, any Party, without posting any bond, and in addition to all other remedies that may be available, shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of specific performance, injunctions or any other equitable remedy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Waiver of Jury Trial*. The Fund and the Shareholder 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *Counterparts and Facsimile Execution*. 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 electronic mail shall be deemed for all purposes as being a good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by that Party. Moreover, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Agreement may be signed and/or transmitted by e-mail or a .pdf document or using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign, Adobesign, or other electronic signature technology), and that such signed electronic record shall be valid and as effective to bind the Party so signing as a paper copy bearing such Party's 14 handwritten signature. The parties further consent and agree that (i) to the extent a Party signs this Agreement using electronic signature technology, by clicking "SIGN", such Party is signing this Agreement electronically; and (ii) the electronic signatures appearing on this Agreement shall be treated, for purposes of validity, enforceability and admissibility, the same as handwritten signatures.
