ARTICLE II

APPOINTMENT OF DEPOSITORY; BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM; FORM OF RECEIPTS;

DEPOSIT OF PREFERRED STOCK; EXECUTION AND DELIVERY; TRANSFER,

SURRENDER AND REDEMPTION OF RECEIPTS

Section 2.1 Appointment of Depository.

The Fund hereby appoints (i) the Trust Company, and the Trust Company hereby accepts such appointment, as depository for the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of each series deposited hereunder, and (b) the Service Agent, and the Service Agent hereby accepts such appointment, as services agent for the Trust Company, all on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Book-Entry System; Form and Transfer of Receipts.

The Fund and the Depository shall make application to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for acceptance of all of the Receipts for its book-entry settlement system. The Fund hereby appoints the Depository acting through any authorized officer thereof as its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, for purposes of executing any agreements, certifications or other instruments or documents necessary or desirable in order to effect the acceptance of such Receipts for DTC eligibility. So long as the Receipts are eligible for book-entry settlement with DTC, unless otherwise required by law, all Depositary Shares with book-entry settlement through DTC shall be represented by a single receipt or receipts (referred to herein as the “DTC Receipt”), which shall be deposited with DTC (or its designee) evidencing all such Depositary Shares and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC (initially expected to be Cede & Co.). The Depository or such other entity as is agreed to by DTC may hold the DTC Receipt as custodian for DTC. Ownership of beneficial interests in the DTC Receipt shall be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership shall be effected through, records maintained by (i) DTC or its nominee for such DTC Receipt or (ii) institutions that have accounts with DTC. The DTC Receipt shall bear such legend or legends as may be required by DTC in order for it to accept the Depositary Shares for its book-entry settlement system.

If DTC subsequently ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available for the Receipts, the Fund may instruct the Depository regarding making other arrangements for book-entry settlement.

If the Receipts are not eligible for book-entry form, the Depository shall provide written instructions to DTC to deliver the DTC Receipt to the Depository for cancellation, and the Fund shall instruct the Depository to deliver to the beneficial owners of the Depositary Shares previously evidenced by the DTC Receipt definitive Receipts in physical form evidencing such Depositary Shares. Beneficial owners of Depositary Shares through DTC will not be entitled to receive Receipts in physical, certificated form or have Depositary Shares registered in their name, except in the event DTC ceases to make its book-entry settlement system available and the Receipts are not eligible for any alternative book-entry settlement system.

Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares. The Fund shall deliver to the Depository from time to time such quantities of Receipts as the Depository may request to enable the Depository to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

The DTC Receipt and definitive Receipts, if any, shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided and shall be engraved or otherwise prepared so as to comply with applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange Inc. (the “NYSE”) or any other securities exchange on which the Depositary Shares are then listed, if applicable.

In the event DTC ceases to make its book-entry system of settlement available and the Fund and the Depository are unable to make other arrangements for book-entry settlement, the Depository, pending preparation of definitive Receipts and upon the written order of the Fund, delivered in compliance with Section 2.3, shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts which

may be printed, lithographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Receipts.

If temporary Receipts are issued, the Fund and the Depository will cause definitive Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable by the Holder for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at an office described in the first paragraph of Section 2.3, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depository shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Fund’s expense and without any charge therefor to the Holder or the Depository. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Receipts.

Receipts shall be executed by the Depository by the manual signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depository; provided, that such signature may be a facsimile if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depository) shall have been appointed and such Receipts are countersigned by manual signature by a duly authorized officer of the Registrar. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed manually by a duly authorized officer of the Depository or, if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depository) shall have been appointed, by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depository and countersigned by manual signature by a duly authorized officer of such Registrar.

The Depository shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided. Receipts may be endorsed with, or have incorporated in the text thereof, such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement all as may be required by the Fund or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of the NYSE or any other securities exchange upon which the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject.

Title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt which is properly endorsed, or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of any particular Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depository as provided in Section 2.5, the Depository may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the Record Holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to distributions of dividends or other distributions of securities, cash or other property or to any notice provided for in this Agreement and for all other purposes.

Section 2.3 Deposit of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares; Execution and Delivery of Receipts.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Fund may from time to time deposit MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of any series under this Agreement by delivery to the Depository of a certificate or certificates for such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depository, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depository, together with (i) all such certifications as may be required by the Depository in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Fund or a committee of the Board of Directors, as certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Fund on the date thereof as being complete, accurate and in effect, relating to issuance of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, (ii) a letter of counsel to the Fund authorizing reliance on such counsel’s opinions delivered to the underwriters pursuant to the terms of any underwriting or other sale agreement relating to the issuance of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares as to (A) the existence and good standing of the Fund, (B) the due authorization of the Depositary Shares and the status of the Depositary Shares as validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and (C) the effectiveness of any registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Depositary Shares and MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, and (iii) a written order of the Fund, directing the Depository to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts for the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited MuniFund Term Preferred Shares. In connection with any deposit of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares as contemplated by this Section 2.3, the Fund and the Depository shall amend Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect the deposit of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

Deposited MuniFund Term Preferred Shares shall be held by the Depository at the Depository’s Office or at such other place or places as the Depository shall determine. Deposited MuniFund Term Preferred Shares shall be held by the Depository for the benefit of the Holders of the Receipts, and shall in no event be deemed to be assets of the Depository.

Upon receipt by the Depository of a certificate or certificates for MuniFund Term Preferred Shares deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares on the books of the Fund (or its duly appointed transfer agent) in the name of the Depository or its nominee, the Depository, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall execute and deliver to, or upon the order of, the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depository referred to in the first paragraph of this Section 2.3, a Receipt or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares so deposited and registered in such name or names as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depository shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Depository’s Office or such other offices, if any, as the Depository may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the person requesting such delivery.

Section 2.4 Registration of Transfer of Receipts.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Depository shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, including a guarantee of the signature thereon by a participant in a signature guarantee medallion program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc. (the “Signature Guarantee”). Thereupon, the Depository shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.

Section 2.5 Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depository’s Office or at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Depository shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denomination or denominations requested, evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered, and shall deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the Holder of the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered.

In the event DTC ceases to make its book-entry system of settlement available, and the Fund and the Depository are unable to make other arrangements for book-entry settlement and definitive Receipts have been issued, as further described in Section 2.2, any Holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw the number of whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and all money represented thereby by surrendering such Receipt or Depositary Shares represented by the Receipts at the Depository’s Office or at such other offices as the Depository may designate for such withdrawals. Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depository shall deliver to such Holder, or to the person or persons designated by such Holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and all money represented by the Receipt or Receipts, or Depositary Shares represented by such Receipt or Receipts, so surrendered for withdrawal, but Holders of such whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares hereunder or to receive a Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares therefor. If a Receipt delivered by the Holder to the Depository in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be withdrawn, the Depository shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and such money to be so withdrawn, deliver to such Holder, or subject to Section 2.5 upon his order, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares; provided, however, that the Depository shall not issue any Receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share. Delivery of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and money being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depository may deem appropriate, which, if required by the Depository, shall be properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer including, but not limited to, a Signature Guarantee.

If the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and the money being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the Record Holder of the related Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, such Holder shall execute and deliver to the Depository a written order so directing the Depository, and the Depository may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such Holder for withdrawal of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank.

Delivery of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and the money represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depository at the Depository’s Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the Holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the Holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such Holder.

Section 2.6 Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts.

As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depository, any of the Depository’s Agents or the Fund may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depository or the Fund shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the Holder of a Receipt pursuant to Sections 3.2 and 5.7, may require the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature, including a Signature Guarantee, and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depository or the Fund may establish consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law.

The deposit of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against MuniFund Term Preferred Shares may be suspended, the registration of transfer of Receipts may be refused and the registration of transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Fund is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depository, any of the Depository’s Agents or the Fund at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission or under any provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.7 Lost Receipts, etc.

In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depository in its discretion may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the Holder thereof with the Depository of evidence satisfactory to the Depository of such destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his or her ownership thereof; (ii) the Holder thereof furnishing of the Depository with reasonable indemnification satisfactory to the Depository and the provision of an open penalty surety bond satisfactory to the Depository and holding it and the Fund harmless; and (iii) the payment of any reasonable expense (including reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Depository) in connection with such execution and delivery.

Section 2.8 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts.

All Receipts surrendered to the Depository or any Depository’s Agent shall be cancelled by the Depository. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depository is authorized and directed to destroy all Receipts so cancelled.

ARTICLE III

CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF RECEIPTS AND OF THE FUND

Section 3.1 Filing Proofs; Statements and Other Information.

Any Holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depository or the Fund may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depository or the Fund may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer or redemption, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares and evidenced by a Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made.

Section 3.2 Payment of Taxes or Other Governmental Charges.

Holders of Receipts shall be obligated to make payments to the Depository of certain fees, charges and expenses, as provided in Section 5.7. Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and all money represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused until any such payment due is made, and any dividends, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the Holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such Holder prior to such sale), and such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the Holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency.

Section 3.3 Warranty as to MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

The Fund hereby represents and warrants that the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, when issued, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and the issuance of the related Receipts.

Section 3.4 Warranty as to Receipts.

The Fund hereby represents and warrants that the Receipts, when issued, will represent legal and valid interests in the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares. Such representation and warranty shall survive the deposit of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and the issuance of the Receipts.

ARTICLE IV

THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES

Section 4.1 Cash Distributions.

Whenever the Service Agent, as distribution agent, shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, the Service Agent shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, distribute to Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such Holders; provided, however, that in case the Fund or the Service Agent shall be required to withhold, and shall withhold, from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. In the event that the calculation of any such cash dividend or other cash distribution to be paid to any Record Holder on the aggregate number of Depositary Shares held by such Record Holder results in an amount that is a fraction of a cent and that fraction of a cent is equal to or greater than $0.005, the amount the Service Agent shall distribute to such Record Holder shall be rounded up to the next highest whole cent; otherwise, such fractional amount shall be disregarded by the Depository; provided, however, upon the Depository’s request, the Fund shall pay the additional amount to the Depository for distribution. Each Holder of a Receipt shall provide the Service Agent with its certified tax identification number on a properly completed Form W-8 or W-9, as may be applicable. Each Holder of a Receipt acknowledges that, in the event of non-compliance with the preceding sentence, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may require withholding by the Service Agent of a portion of any of the distributions to be made hereunder. The Fund acknowledges that the bank accounts maintained by the Service Agent in connection with the services performed hereunder will be in the Service Agent’s name and that the Service Agent may receive investment earnings in connection with the investment at the Service Agent’s risk and for its benefit of funds held in those accounts from time to time.

Section 4.2 Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges.

Whenever the Service Agent shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, the Service Agent shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, distribute to Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts held by such Holders, in any manner that the Service Agent may deem equitable and

practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Service Agent such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such Record Holders, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Fund or the Service Agent withhold an amount on account of taxes or governmental charges) the Service Agent deems, after consultation with the Fund, such distribution not to be feasible, the Service Agent may, with the approval of the Fund, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Service Agent to Record Holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Fund shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the Service Agent, and the Service Agent shall not make any distribution of such securities or property to the Holders of Receipts, unless the Fund shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or property have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions.

In the event of a distribution of securities, fractional shares of such securities will not be distributed to the Record Holders. Instead, a Record Holder that otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a security will receive an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to such Record Holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale in the open market by the Service Agent, or an agent of the Service Agent or other entity as so instructed in writing by the Fund, on behalf of all such Record Holders, of the aggregate fractional shares of the securities that would otherwise have been issued. The sale described in the previous sentence shall occur as soon as practicable following the distribution date for such securities. In the event that such sale of the aggregate fractional shares of the securities that otherwise would have been issued is completed and a fraction of a share of such security still remains (the “Remaining Fractional Share”), the Service Agent shall immediately notify the Fund in writing of the Remaining Fractional Share, which notice may be delivered via electronic mail to the address set forth in Section 7.4. Upon receipt of such notice, the Fund shall determine the cash equivalent of the Remaining Fractional Share (the “Remaining Fractional Share Amount”), which Remaining Fractional Share Amount shall be equal to the Remaining Fractional Share multiplied by the per security closing price of such securities as reported on the securities exchange on which those securities are then listed (or based on the per security closing trading price in the open market for securities that are not listed on any securities exchange) on the trading day, or business day, as applicable, immediately prior to the date of the distribution of such securities. The determination of the Remaining Fractional Share Amount by the Fund shall be binding on the parties hereto and on the Record Holders. The Fund shall promptly transfer funds for the Remaining Fractional Share Amount to an account selected by the Service Agent, and the Service Agent shall add the Remaining Fractional Share Amount to the net proceeds from the sale described above for distribution to the Record Holders otherwise entitled to receive the fractional shares of the securities.

Section 4.3 Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges.

If the Fund shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares are recorded on the books of the Fund any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences

or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be communicated to the Depository and thereafter made available by the Depository to the Record Holders of Receipts in such manner as the Depository may determine, either by the issue to such Record Holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Depository in its discretion with the approval of the Fund; provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depository determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Fund) not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to Holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by Holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Service Agent, in its discretion (with approval of the Fund, in any case where the Depository has determined that it is not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), may, if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed by The Service Agent to the Record Holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash.

The Fund shall notify the Depository whether registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for Holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, and the Fund agrees with the Depository that it will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such Holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depository make available to the Holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective, or the Fund shall have provided to the Depository an opinion of counsel to the effect that the offering and sale of such securities to the Holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act.

The Fund shall notify the Depository whether any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to Holders of Receipts, and the Fund agrees with the Depository that the Fund will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such Holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges.

Section 4.4 Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing Record Date for Holders of Receipts.

Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series, or whenever the Depository shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series are entitled to vote or of which holders of the MuniFund Term Preferred

Shares of a series are entitled to notice, or whenever the Depository and the Fund shall decide it is appropriate, the Depository shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Fund with respect to or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series) for the determination of the Holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting or for any other appropriate reasons.

Section 4.5 Voting Rights.

Subject to the provisions of the Statement, upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series are entitled to vote, the Depository shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Record Holders of Receipts evidencing Depositary Shares in respect of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, determined on the record date as set forth in Section 4.4, a notice prepared by the Fund which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a statement that the Holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depository as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by their respective Depositary Shares (including an express indication that instructions may be given to the Depository to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Fund) and a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of the Holders of Receipts on the relevant record date, the Depository shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of whole MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received. The Fund hereby agrees to take all reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by the Depository in order to enable the Depository to vote such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares or cause such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from Holders of Receipts, the Depository will vote the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts of such Holders proportionately with votes cast pursuant to instructions received from the other Holders of such Receipts.

Section 4.6 Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc.

Upon any change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series, subject to the provisions of the Statement, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation affecting the Fund or to which it is a party, the Depository may in its discretion with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the Fund, and (in either case) in such manner as the Depository may deem equitable, (i) make such adjustments as are certified by the Fund in the fraction of an interest represented by one Depositary Share in one MuniFund Term Preferred Share of such series and in the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price per MuniFund Term Preferred Share of such series, in each case as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of

the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation and (ii) treat any securities which shall be received by the Depository in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series. In any such case the Fund may in its discretion direct the Depository to execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depository with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series represented thereby only into or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property and cash into which the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction.

Section 4.7 Redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

Whenever the Fund shall be required to, or shall be permitted to and shall elect to, redeem MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series in accordance with the provisions of the Statement applicable to such series, it shall (unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depository) give or cause to be given to the Depository not less than 10 calendar days’ notice of the date on which the Fund proposes to issue a notice of redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series and of the number of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series held by the Depository to be so redeemed and the applicable redemption price, as set forth in the applicable Statement, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Fund stating that such redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series is in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Statement. On the date fixed for such redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares in such notice of redemption, provided that the Fund shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depository the redemption price of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be redeemed, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Statement, the Depository shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

The Depository shall mail notice (a “Notice of Redemption”) of the Fund’s redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption Date”) to the Record Holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed, at the address of such Holders as they appear on the records of the Depository; but neither failure to mail any such Notice of Redemption of Depositary Shares to one or more such Holders nor any defect in any Notice of Redemption of Depositary Shares to one or more such Holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to the other Holders. The Fund will provide the Depository with the information necessary for the Depository to prepare such Notice

of Redemption within the time period required hereunder and each such Notice of Redemption shall state: (i) the applicable Redemption Date; (ii) the series and number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed; (iii) the CUSIP number for the Depositary Shares to be redeemed; (iv) the applicable redemption price for the Depositary Shares to be redeemed on a per Depositary Share basis (which price shall be 1/100^th of the redemption price for the MuniFund Term Preferred Share represented by such Depositary Share, determined as provided in the applicable Statement for such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares); (v) if applicable, the place or places where the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be redeemed are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; (vi) that dividends on the Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate from and after the Redemption Date; and (vii) the provisions of the Statement for the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by such Depositary Shares under which such redemption is made. If fewer than all Depositary Shares held by any Holder are to be redeemed, the Notice of Redemption delivered to such Holder shall also specify the number of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares to be redeemed from such Holder or the method of determining such number. The Fund may provide in any Notice of Redemption that such redemption is subject to one or more conditions precedent and that the Fund shall not be required to effect such redemption unless each such condition has been satisfied at the time or times and in the manner specified in such Notice of Redemption. In case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares of a particular series are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed shall be determined (i) pro rata among the outstanding Depositary Shares of such series, (ii) by lot or (iii) in such other manner as the Depository, with the approval of the Fund, may determine to be fair and equitable.

Notice of the redemption of any Depositary Shares having been mailed by the Depository as aforesaid, from and after the date and time that the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by such Depositary Shares are no longer deemed outstanding under the Statement for such MuniFund Term Preferred Shares, (i) the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding, (ii) all rights of the Holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the redemption price) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate, and (iii) upon surrender in accordance with such redemption notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares called for redemption (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depository or applicable law shall so require), each Depositary Share to be redeemed shall be redeemed by the Service Agent at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to one-one hundredth (1/100^th) of the redemption price paid with respect to a MuniFund Term Preferred Share to be redeemed plus the same fraction of all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Share. Any funds deposited by the Fund with the Service Agent for any Depositary Shares that the Holders of the Receipts therefor fail to redeem will be returned to the Fund after a period of ninety (90) days from the Redemption Date, to the extent permitted by law, after which such Holders of such Receipts shall look only to the Fund for payment of the redemption price thereof.

If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depository will deliver to the Holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depository, together with the redemption payment, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption; provided, however, that the Depository shall not issue any receipt evidencing a fractional Depositary Share.

In connection with any redemption of any entire series of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares as contemplated by this Section 4.7, the Fund and the Depository shall amend Schedule A to this Agreement to reflect the redemption of such series of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares.

Section 4.8 Delivery of Reports; Notice of Default.

The Depository shall furnish to Holders of Receipts any reports and communications received from the Fund which are received by the Depository, as the holder of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series. The Depository shall furnish to the Holders of Receipts relating to any series of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares any notice it receives from the Fund or the Service Agent that the Fund shall have failed to deposit funds or other assets permitted under the Statement within the time period required or permitted by the Statement sufficient to pay any dividend on the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series on the dividend payment date therefor or any redemption payment payable in respect of the redemption of MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of such series on the redemption date therefor.

Section 4.9 Lists of Receipt Holders.

Reasonably promptly upon request from time to time by the Fund, at the sole expense of the Fund, the Depository shall furnish to it a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the names, addresses and holdings of Depositary Shares of all registered Holders of Receipts.

ARTICLE V

THE DEPOSITORY, THE DEPOSITORY’S AGENTS, THE REGISTRAR AND THE FUND

Section 5.1 Maintenance of Offices, Agencies and Transfer Books by the Depository; Registrar; Depository’s Agents.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Depository shall maintain at the Depository’s Office, facilities for the execution and delivery, registration and registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, and at the offices of the Depository’s Agents, if any, facilities for the delivery, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of Receipts, all in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that, to the extent provisions of this Agreement regarding transfer or registration functions performed by the Depository conflict with the terms of any transfer agency agreement between the Fund and the Depository, the terms of such transfer agency agreement shall control. The Depository shall keep books at the Depository’s Office for the registration and transfer of Receipts. Upon direction by the Fund and with reasonable notice to the Depository, the Depository shall open its books for inspection by the Record Holders of Receipts as directed by the Fund; provided that any Holder shall be granted such right by the Fund only after certifying that such inspection shall be for a proper purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as an owner of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts. The Depository may close such books, at any time or from time to time, when deemed expedient by it in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder.

The Depository may, with the approval of the Fund, appoint a Registrar for registration of the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby. If the Receipts or the Depositary Shares evidenced thereby or the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares represented by such

Depositary Shares shall be listed on one or more national securities exchanges, the Depository will appoint a Registrar (acceptable to the Fund) for registration of the Receipts or Depositary Shares in accordance with any requirements of such exchange. Such Registrar (which may be the Depository if so permitted by the requirements of any such exchange) may be removed and a substitute registrar may be appointed by the Depository upon the request or with the approval of the Fund. If the Receipts, Depositary Shares or MuniFund Term Preferred Shares are listed on one or more other securities exchanges, the Depository will, at the request of the Fund, arrange such facilities for the delivery, registration, registration of transfer, surrender and exchange of the Receipts, Depositary Shares or MuniFund Term Preferred Shares as may be required by law or applicable securities exchange regulation.

The Depository may from time to time appoint Depository’s Agents to act in any respect for the Depository for the purposes of this Agreement and may from time to time appoint additional Depository’s Agents and vary or terminate the appointment of such Depository’s Agents, provided that the Depository will notify the Fund of any such appointment or variation or termination of such appointment.

Section 5.2 Prevention of or Delay in Performance by the Depository, the Depository’s Agents, the Registrar or the Fund.

Neither the Depository nor any Depository’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Fund shall incur any liability to any Holder of a Receipt if by reason of any provision of any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depository, the Depository’s Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation (including the Statement) or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depository, the Depository’s Agent, the Registrar or the Fund shall be prevented, delayed or forbidden from, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement provide shall be done or performed. Nor shall the Depository, any Depository’s Agent, any Registrar or the Fund incur liability to any Holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Agreement shall provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Agreement except, in case of any such exercise or failure to exercise discretion not caused as aforesaid, if caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party charged with such exercise or failure to exercise.

Section 5.3 Obligations of the Depository, the Depository’s Agents, the Registrar and the Fund.

Neither the Depository nor any Depository’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Fund assumes any obligation or shall be subject to any liability under this Agreement to Holders of Receipts other than for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

Neither the Depository nor any Depository’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Fund shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts, which, in its opinion, may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense and liability be furnished as often as may be reasonably required.

Neither the Depository nor any Depository’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Fund shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information from any person presenting MuniFund Term Preferred Shares for deposit, any Holder of a Receipt or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. The Depository, any Depository’s Agent, any Registrar and the Fund may each rely, and shall each be protected in acting upon or omitting to act upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Depository shall indemnify the Fund against any liability which may directly arise out of acts performed or omitted by the Depository or any Depository’s Agent due to its or their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

The Depository shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Preferred Stock or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or inaction is not taken in bad faith. The Depository undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Depository or any Registrar.

The Depository, its parent, affiliates or subsidiaries, the Depository’s Agents and the Registrar may own, buy, sell and deal in any class of securities of the Fund and its affiliates and in Receipts or Depositary Shares or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Fund or its affiliates may be interested or contract with or lend money to any such person or otherwise act as fully or as freely as if it were not the Depository, the parent, affiliate or subsidiary or the Depository’s Agent or the Registrar hereunder. The Depository may also act as trustee, transfer agent or registrar of any of the securities of the Fund and its affiliates.

It is intended that neither the Depository nor any Depository’s Agent nor the Registrar, acting as the Depository’s Agent or Registrar, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be an “issuer” of the securities under the federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Depository, any Depository’s Agent and the Registrar are acting only in a ministerial capacity as Depository or Registrar for the Preferred Stock. Neither the Depository (or its officers, directors, employees or agents) nor any Depository’s Agent nor the Registrar makes any representation or has any responsibility as to the validity of the registration statement pursuant to which the Depositary Shares are registered under the Securities Act, the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of any series, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts (except for its counter-signatures thereon) or any instruments referred to therein or herein, or as to the correctness of any statement made therein or herein. The Depository assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the description that appears in the Receipts.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Receipts, the Depository makes no warranties or representations as to the validity or genuineness of any MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of any series at any time deposited with the Depository hereunder or of the Depositary Shares, as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, as to the value of the Depositary

Shares or as to any right, title or interest of the record holders of Receipts in and to the Depositary Shares. The Depository shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Fund of the Depositary Shares or the Receipts or the proceeds thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no party to this Agreement shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages. The Depository shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Receipts, the Depositary Shares or the Preferred Stock nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies held by it, except as required by law. The Depository shall not be responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Fund and shall have no duty or obligation to make any payments if it has not timely received sufficient funds to make timely payments.

In the event the Depository believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Depository hereunder, or in the administration of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Depository shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering to take any action hereunder, the Depository may, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Fund, refrain from taking any action and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Fund, any Holders of Receipts or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Depository receives written instructions or a certificate signed by the Fund which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depository or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the satisfaction of the Depository. The Depository undertakes not to issue any Receipt other than to evidence the Depositary Shares that have been delivered to and are then on deposit with the Depository. The Depository also undertakes not to sell, except as provided herein, pledge or lend Depositary Shares by it as Depository.

Section 5.4 Resignation and Removal of the Depository; Appointment of Successor Depository.

The Depository may at any time resign as Depository hereunder by delivering notice of its election to do so to the Fund, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depository and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. The Depository may at any time be removed by the Fund by notice of such removal delivered to the Depository, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depository hereunder and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided. In case at any time the Depository acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Fund shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor Depository, which shall be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If no successor Depository shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depository may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Depository. Every successor Depository shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Fund an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Depository, without any

further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depository under this Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Fund, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Preferred Stock and any moneys held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Record Holders of all outstanding Receipts and such records, books and other information in its possession relating thereto. Any successor Depository shall promptly mail notice of its appointment to the Record Holders of Receipts. Any entity into or with which the Depository may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of the Depository without the execution or filing of any document or any further act, and notice thereof shall not be required hereunder. Such successor Depository may authenticate the Receipts in the name of the predecessor Depository or its own name as successor Depository.

Section 5.5 Corporate Notices and Reports.

The Fund agrees that it will deliver to the Depository, and the Depository will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses recorded in the Depository’s books, copies of all notices and reports (including without limitation financial statements) required by law, by the rules of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange upon which the Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation (including the Statement), to be furnished to the Record Holders of Receipts. Such transmission will be at the Fund’s expense and the Fund will provide the Depository with such number of copies of such documents as the Depository may reasonably request. In addition, the Depository will transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts at the Fund’s expense, including applicable fees, such other documents as may be requested by the Fund.

Section 5.6 Indemnification by the Fund.

Subject to Section 5.3, the Fund shall indemnify the Depository, any Depository’s Agent and any Registrar (including each of their officers, directors, agents and employees) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, damage, cost, penalty, liability or expense (including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of acts performed, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Agreement and the Receipts by the Depository, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depository’s Agent) and any transactions or documents contemplated hereby, except for any liability arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the respective parts of any such person or persons. The obligations of the Fund set forth in this Section 5.6 shall survive any succession of any Depository, Registrar or Depository’s Agent.

Section 5.7 Fees, Charges and Expenses.

The Fund agrees promptly to pay the Depository the compensation to be agreed upon with the Fund for all services rendered by the Depository hereunder and to reimburse the Depository for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Depository without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its

part (or on the part of any agent or Depository’s Agent) in connection with the services rendered by it (or such agent or Depository’s Agent) hereunder. The Fund shall pay all charges of the Depository in connection with the initial deposit of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of any series and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares with respect thereto and any redemption or exchange of the MuniFund Term Preferred Shares of a series. The Fund shall pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depository arrangements. All other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of Holders of Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts. If, at the request of a Holder of Receipts, the Depository incurs charges or expenses for which the Fund is not otherwise liable hereunder, such Holder will be liable for such charges and expenses; provided, however, that the Depository may, at its sole option, request that the Fund direct a Holder of a Receipt to prepay the Depository any charge or expense the Depository has been asked to incur at the request of such Holder of Receipts. The Depository shall present its statement for charges and expenses to the Fund at such intervals as the Fund and the Depository may agree.

Section 5.8 Tax Compliance.

The Service Agent and, where applicable, the Trust Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Fund, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting and withholding (including “backup” withholding) requirements imposed by applicable tax laws, regulations or administrative practice with respect to (i) any payments made with respect to the Depositary Shares or (ii) the issuance, delivery, holding, transfer, redemption or exercise of rights under the Depositary Receipts or the Depositary Shares. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely filing of required returns and the timely payment of all amounts required to be withheld to the appropriate taxing authority or its designated agent.

The Depository shall comply with any direction received from the Fund with respect to the application of such requirements to particular payments or holders or in other particular circumstances, and may for purposes of this Agreement rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof.

The Depository shall maintain all appropriate records documenting compliance with such requirements, and shall make such records available on request to the Fund or to its authorized representatives.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 6.1 Amendment.

The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Fund and the Depository in any respect which they may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, that no such amendment (other than a change in fees) which shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the Holders of Receipts shall be effective unless such amendment shall have been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. Every Holder of an outstanding receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by this Agreement.
