Dear: Capital Markets

Re: IMPORTANT-Assignment and Transfer of your Agency Agreement dated as of November 3, 2017

The U.S. Federal Reserve and U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation require all major U.S. banks, including Bank of America Corporation (“the Bank”), to outline annually as part of their resolution plan or “living will” the steps they would take to recover in the event of a severe financial crisis. In July 2015, we announced a plan to realign our US broker-dealer structure for resolution planning purposes. Pursuant to such plan, on or about March 31, 2018, the institutional business (Global Banking and Markets, or “GBAM”) and the retail business (Global Wealth Investment Management or “GWIM”) within Xxxxxxx Lynch, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (MLPF&S) will be separated into two broker-dealers. The GBAM institutional business will move to BofAML Securities, Inc. (“BofAML Securities”) while the GWIM retail business will remain in MLPF&S.

The new broker-dealer entity BofAML Securities is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank and an affiliate of MLPF&S, and upon completion of the reorganization, will be registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and certain State securities authorities and as a futures commission merchant with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Upon completion of the reorganization, BofAML Securities will also be a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the National Futures Association, and other self-regulatory organizations and clearing organizations.

This decision is neither a change to our business model nor a change to how we ultimately service clients, but rather a change to how our U.S. broker-dealers are organized. We expect to continue offering the same institutional services MLPF&S provides today via BofAML Securities.

As our valued client we will work closely with you and your teams to migrate your relationship and related activities to the new broker-dealer with minimal disruption.

Re: IMPORTANT - Assignment and Transfer of Your Agreements

Dear: Capital Markets

As per this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”), we are writing to inform you (the “Client” or “you”) that, as part of our efforts to reorganize our U.S. broker-dealer operations (the “Reorganization”), Bank of America Xxxxxxx Xxxxx has established a new legal entity, BofAML Securities, Inc. (“BofAML Securities”), which will become the new home for the institutional services that are currently provided by the legal entity Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“MLPF&S”). We expect the Reorganization to be completed on or about March 31, 2018 (such completion date, the “Transfer Date”). As part of the Reorganization, we will be assigning and transferring agreements that you have with MLPF&S to BofAML Securities. This Letter Agreement constitutes notice to you of the proposed assignment and transfer of your agreements that are with MLPF&S to BofAML Securities as part of the Reorganization.

We have determined that you currently have with us one or more Agency Agreement dated as of November 3, 2017 or agreements of the same “type” (Including any schedules, exhibits, annexes, addenda, amendments and supplements that are part of such agreements), which require your written consent to their assignment and transfer to BofAML Securities.

When we refer to agreements as being of the same “type” as the Agency Agreement dated as of November 3, 2017, we are referring to all agreements whose subject matter may be understood to be covered by Agency Agreement dated as of November 3, 2017, even where a particular agreement bears a different title.

The Agency Agreement dated as of November 3, 2017 or agreements of the same type and all related transactions (collectively, the “Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred”) will be assigned and transferred by MLPF&S to BofAML Securities as part of the Reorganization.

In connection with the Reorganization, the following will occur:

· As of the Transfer Date, MLPF&S shall transfer, convey and assign to BofAML Securities all of its rights, title and interest in all Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred.

· As of the Transfer Date, BofAML Securities shall succeed to all rights, liabilities and obligations of MLPF&S with respect to all Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred.

· The Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred will, as of the Transfer Date, no longer be with MLPF&S but with BofAML Securities.

· As of the Transfer Date, the Client’s obligations under the Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred will be to BofAML Securities and NOT to MLPF&S.

· As of the Transfer Date, MLPF&S shall no longer have any duties, obligations or liabilities to the Client under any of the Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred, except for any liability that MLPF&S may have to the Client with respect to matters arising prior to the Transfer Date; provided, however, that MLPF&S may separately agree with BofAML Securities to perform certain duties and obligations on behalf of BofAML Securities after the Transfer Date.

· It is acknowledged and agreed by Client that BofAML Securities may retain the services of one or more of its affiliates, including MLPF&S, to assist it in carrying out, and complying with, its duties, obligations, covenants and representations and warranties contained in the Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred.

· Beginning on the Transfer Date, for purposes of any further communications, including delivery of notices, under any of the Agreements and Transactions to be Transferred, you will need to use the relevant contact details appearing on page 2 of the attached letter.
