Subject to the cure provisions of Section 2.2(g)(iii), a Rate Period with respect to a Series of RVMTP Shares shall be deemed to be an “Increased Rate Period” if on the first calendar day of such Rate Period, (A) the Fund has failed to deposit with the Calculation and Paying Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Dividend Payment Date for such Series, Deposit Securities that will provide funds available to the Calculation and Paying Agent on such Dividend Payment Date sufficient to pay the full amount of any dividend on such Series payable on such Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Default”) and such Dividend Default has not ended as contemplated by Section 2.2(g)(ii); (B) the Fund has failed to deposit with the Calculation and Paying Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on an applicable Redemption Date for such Series, Deposit Securities that will provide funds available to the Calculation and Paying Agent on such Redemption Date sufficient to pay the full amount of the Redemption Price payable in respect of such Series on such Redemption Date (a “Redemption Default”) and such Redemption Default has not ended as contemplated by Section 2.2(g)(ii); (C) any Rating Agency has withdrawn the credit rating required to be maintained with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.8 other than due to the Rating Agency ceasing to rate tax-exempt closed-end management investment companies generally and such withdrawal is continuing; (D) a Ratings Event (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Series; or (E) (i) a court or other applicable governmental authority has made a final determination that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the RVMTP Shares do not qualify as equity in the Fund and such determination has not been repealed, revoked or rescinded and (ii) such determination results from an act or failure to act on the part of the Fund (a “Tax Event”). A “Ratings Event” shall be deemed to exist with respect to any Series of RVMTP Shares at any time such RVMTP Shares have a long-term credit rating from at least one-half of the Rating Agencies designated at such time that is Below Investment Grade. For the avoidance of doubt, no determination by any court or other applicable governmental authority that requires the Fund to make an Additional Amount Payment in respect of a Taxable Allocation shall be deemed to be a Tax Event hereunder.
