7.2	No Waivers

(a)

The obligations of the Issuer 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 Purchaser 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 Issuer or the Purchaser 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 Issuer or the Purchaser 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 Issuer or the Purchaser 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.

7.3	Expenses and Indemnification

(a)

The Issuer shall upon demand reimburse the Purchaser (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 Purchaser in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of rights under this Agreement, provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be responsible for the Purchaser's costs in connection with any subsequent offer and sale of the RVMTP Shares made by the Purchaser 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 Issuer shall not be responsible under this Section 7.3(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 Purchaser, unless the Purchaser shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Issuer.

(b)

The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Person of the Purchaser 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 Offering Memorandum (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (B) any claim by any third party relating to the offering or sale of the RVMTP Shares by the Issuer or the holding of the RVMTP Shares by the Purchaser (x) that the Purchaser aided and abetted a breach of a fiduciary duty by the Issuer or any director or officer of the Issuer or (y) arising from any act by the Issuer or any director or officer of the Issuer (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 Issuer on the one hand and the Purchaser 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 Issuer on the one hand and the Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser from the Issuer pursuant to the proposed transactions giving rise to this Agreement. For purposes of determining the relative benefits to the Issuer on the one hand, and the Purchaser 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 Issuer pursuant to the transactions, whether or not consummated bears to (ii) the dividends and Optional Redemption Premium paid by the Issuer to the Purchaser 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 Issuer on the one hand, or the Purchaser 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 Issuer further agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to the Issuer 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.

(e)

Nothing in this Section 7.3 is intended to limit any party's obligations contained in other parts of this Agreement or the RVMTP Shares.

7.4	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 Issuer and the Purchaser; provided, that the Issuer 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.

7.5	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 Issuer nor the Purchaser 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 Issuer 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 6.16 and Section 7.14 and shall, so long as such transferee has provided a means for the Issuer to transmit such information electronically to it, be entitled to receive the information delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(n) and 6.1(o) and such transferees shall be deemed a party to this Agreement for purposes of Sections 6.1(n) and 6.1(o) and the confidentiality provisions herein as specified in the transferee certificate and (2) the Purchaser may assign its rights or obligations to any affiliates of the Purchaser or any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) in which the Purchaser retains the entire residual interest. Any assignment without such prior written consent shall be void.

7.6	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 Purchaser hereunder and under the RVMTP Shares; and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Section 2.6(e), Section 7.3, Section 7.7, Section 7.8, Section 7.10, Section 7.11, the second sentence of Section 7.12, and Section 7.13 (for a period of two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement in the case of Section 7.13) shall remain in full force and effect, except that the Purchaser may assign its rights or obligations to any affiliates of the Purchaser or any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) in which the Purchaser retains the entire residual interest. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser sells all of its RVMTP Shares and, in the case of a sale to a tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle), neither the Purchaser nor any affiliate of the Purchaser retains any residual interest in any RVMTP Shares sold to such tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) other than in connection with the Purchaser'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 Purchaser with respect to such RVMTP Shares for purposes of clause (b) of this Section 7.6.

7.7	Governing Law

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic law of the State of New York.

In the event that Information is disclosed pursuant to any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v), (vi), and (vii) above, the party disclosing such Information shall (A) furnish only that portion of the Information which the party disclosing the Information is advised by outside legal counsel is legally required or advisable, (B) inform the recipient of the Information that the Information is confidential, (C) make commercially reasonable efforts to encourage the recipient of the Information to maintain the confidential and proprietary nature of the Information, and (D) conspicuously and clearly mark all of the Information as confidential before disclosing the Information.

For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section 7.13 to "regulatory agency," "regulatory authorities," "government agency" and "law or regulation" shall be deemed to include the Internal Revenue Service and state taxation authorities.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, permitted recipients of Information and/or Portfolio Information (and each employee, representative or other agent of such recipients) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. 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 7.6 above, the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Section 7.13 shall survive for a period of two (2) years following the termination of this Agreement.

7.14	Severability

7.15	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 Issuer 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 7.15:

(a)

The termination by the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer, except (i) borrowings for temporary purposes in an amount not to exceed 5% of the assets of the Issuer, 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 Issuer's previously issued and outstanding Auction Rate Preferred Shares, if any, and 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 Issuer it shall not require the approval of the Majority Participants if the Issuer 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 Issuer (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 Issuer on the assets of the Issuer 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 Issuer (including under any tender option bond trust (or similar vehicle) of which the residual floating rate trust certificates will be owned by the Issuer) 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 Issuer; 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 Issuer and the Issuer 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 Issuer 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 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 Issuer and the Majority Participants.

7.16	No Individual Liability

This Agreement is executed by or on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Issuer 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 Issuer 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, and the Issuer shall be solely liable therefor and all parties hereto shall look solely to the Issuer's property for the payment of any claim, or the performance of any obligation, hereunder.

ELIGIBLE ASSETS

On the Effective Date and at all times thereafter:

“Eligible Assets” are hereby defined to consist only of the following as of the time of investment:

Debt obligations

"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 Issuer'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.

ii.

Debt obligations of the United States.

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.

B-1

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.

Debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Banks.

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.

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

(aa) "marketable" if:

(A) it is registered under the Securities Act;

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

(bb) not "distressed or in default" if:

(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,

(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 Issuer was expected, or

B-2

(C) it is purchased by the Issuer 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 Issuer may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in such assets.

Other assets that are not described in (i) through (viii) above, if the Investment Manager provides written notice to the Purchaser indicating the Issuer'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 Purchaser affirmatively approves such investment. The Purchaser 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.

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:

•

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

•

it is for long-term or short-term financing purposes.

Derivatives

Interest rate derivatives;

B-3

iii.

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

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 Issuer to acquire in pursuing a workout arrangement with issuers (of the types described in A above) of defaulted obligations, including, but not limited to, loans to the defaulted issuer 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 Issuer may not invest more than 2% of its total assets in any such assets (as measured at the time of investment). The Issuer 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.

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

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.

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.

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

The Issuer 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 Issuer relevant to the Issuer’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.
