Dear Sirs:

MuniYield Michigan Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), and Fund Asset Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser"), each confirms its agreement with Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co., Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (the "Underwriter"), with respect to the sale by the Fund and the purchase by the Underwriter of 6,750,000 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Fund (the "Common Stock") and, with respect to the grant by the Fund to the Underwriter of the option described in Section 2 hereof to purchase all or any part of 1,012,500 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments. The aforesaid 6,750,000 shares (the "Initial Shares"), together with all or any part of the 1,012,500 additional shares of Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 2 hereof (the "Option Shares"), are collectively hereinafter called the "Shares".

Prior to the purchase and public offering of the Shares by the Underwriter, the Fund and the Underwriter shall enter into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Pricing Agreement"). The Pricing Agreement may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the Fund and the Underwriter and shall specify such applicable information as is indicated in Exhibit A hereto. The offering of the Shares will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented by the Pricing Agreement. From and after the date of the execution and delivery of the Pricing Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate the Pricing Agreement.

The Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on Form N‑2 (No. 33-44444) and a related preliminary prospectus for the

registration of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), and a notification on Form N‑8A of registration of the Fund as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1940 Act (together with the rules and regulations under the 1933 Act, the "Rules and Regulations") and has filed such amendments to such registration statement on Form N‑2, if any, and such amended preliminary prospectuses as may have been required to the date hereof. The Fund will prepare and file such additional amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may hereafter be required. Such registration statement (as amended, if applicable) and the prospectus constituting a part thereof (including in each case the information, if any, deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A(b) of the Rules and Regulations), as from time to time amended or supplemented pursuant to the 1933 Act, are hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement" and the "Prospectus", respectively, except that if any revised prospectus shall be provided to the Underwriter by the Fund for use in connection with the offering of the Shares which differs from the Prospectus on file at the Commission at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective (whether such revised prospectus is required to be filed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 497(b) or Rule 497(h) of the Rules and Regulations), the term "Prospectus" shall refer to each such revised prospectus from and after the time it is first provided to the Underwriter for such use.

In giving their opinion, Xxxxx & Wood may rely as to matters involving the laws of the State of Maryland upon the opinion of Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx. Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx and Xxxxx & Xxxx may rely, as to matters of fact, upon certificates and written statements of officers and employees of and accountants for the Fund and the Adviser and of public officials.

statements of the Fund, a reading of the minute books of the Fund, inquiries of officials of the Fund responsible for financial accounting matters and such other inquiries and procedures as may be specified in such letter, and on the basis of such inquiries and procedures nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that at the date of the latest available statement of assets and liabilities read by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date not more than five days prior to the date of this Agreement, there was any change in the capital stock or net assets of the Fund as compared with amounts shown on the statement of net assets included in the Prospectus.

(f) At Closing Time, the Underwriter shall have received from Deloitte & Touche a letter, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section, except that the "specified date" referred to shall be a date not more than five days prior to Closing Time.

If any condition specified in this Section shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the Underwriter by notice to the Fund at any time at or prior to Closing Time, and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party, except as provided in Section 4.

SECTION 6. Indemnification. (a) The Fund and the Adviser, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as follows:

(i) 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 the information deemed to be part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations, if applicable, 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 contained in any preliminary prospectus or the 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;

(ii) 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 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, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the indemnifying party; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Underwriter) reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or 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 (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) The Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and the Adviser, their respective directors, each of the Fund’s officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but

only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund by the Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(c) In addition to the foregoing indemnification, the Adviser also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, with respect to any Omitting Prospectus or any advertising materials approved by the Adviser for use in connection with the public offering of the Shares.

(d) 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 it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. 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 all indemnified parties 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.

SECTION 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Fund, the Adviser and the Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement as incurred by the Fund, the Adviser and the Underwriter, as incurred, in such proportion that the Underwriter is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the aggregate underwriting compensation payable pursuant to Section 2 hereof bears to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares sold under this Agreement and the Fund and the Adviser are responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 0000 Xxx) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or the Pricing Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of the Fund or the Adviser submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made

by or on behalf of the Underwriter or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Fund or the Adviser and shall survive delivery of the Shares to the Underwriter.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) The Underwriter, by notice to the Fund, may terminate this Agreement at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of the Fund or the Adviser, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or elsewhere or any outbreak of hostilities or other calamity or crisis or any escalation of existing hostilities the effect of which is such as to make it, in the Underwriter’s judgment, impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, or (iii) if trading in the Common Stock has been suspended by the Commission or if trading generally on either the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has been declared by Federal or New York authorities.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4.
