ARTICLE II

MODIFICATION TO THE VRDP SHARES FEE AGREEMENT

SECTION 2.01. Definition of Current Notice of Special Rate Period.

The definition of “Current Notice of Special Rate Period” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following definition, which definition shall be added to Section 1.01 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement:

“Current Notice of Special Rate Period” means the Amended and Restated Notice of Special Rate Period attached to the Statement of Preferences as Appendix A, as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 2.02. Confidentiality.

The second paragraph of Section 8.15 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Each party agrees to hold all Confidential Information in confidence, that it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person, other than (i) directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents or representatives (including those of a legal nature) (collectively, the “Representatives”) or (ii) any affiliates of such party (including the Representatives of any such affiliates), who have a need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document (the “Transactions”), and that it will not use any such Confidential Information for purposes other than in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the restrictions listed in the preceding sentence, copies of the Related Documents, Remarketing Memorandum or Remarketing Materials may be distributed to prospective investors in tender option bond trusts (or similar investment vehicles) into which the VRDP Shares have or may be deposited for the purpose of such investor’s evaluation of an investment in such tender option bond trust (or similar investment vehicle). For the avoidance of doubt, any Ratings Agency rating the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund shall not be deemed to be a Representative for purposes of this Section 8.15 and will not be subject to the obligations of this Section 8.15. Each party agrees to inform its Representatives and affiliates, and cause its affiliates to inform the Representatives of such affiliates, of the confidential and valuable nature of the Confidential Information and of its obligations under this Section 8.15. Each party shall be responsible and liable for any breach of this Section 8.15 by its Representatives, affiliates and Representatives of its affiliates. Each party agrees to use reasonable care and implement reasonable controls, but in all events at least the same degree of care and controls that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or availability of Confidential Information.

The third paragraph of Section 8.15 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

It is understood and agreed that no information shall be within the protection of this Section 8.15 where such information: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no fault of either party, its Representatives, its affiliates or the Representatives of such affiliates, (b) is authorized to be released by the disclosing party, (c) is rightly obtained from a third party, who, to the receiving party’s knowledge, is not under obligation of confidentiality, (d) is required to be disclosed as a matter of law or legal process or (e) is made available to any regulatory body. Furthermore, the obligations of confidentiality set out in this Section 8.15 shall not extend to Confidential Information that is disclosed to Holders or Beneficial Owners or potential Holders or Beneficial Owners, in each case in their capacity as such, in the Remarketing Memorandum or the Remarketing Materials, in notices to Holders or Beneficial Owners pursuant to one or more of the Related Documents or pursuant to the Fund’s or the Liquidity Provider’s informational obligations under Rule 144A(d)(4) or other reporting obligation of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following is added as the sixth paragraph of Section 8.15 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement:

The Liquidity Provider and its affiliates will not be precluded in any manner or in any way from providing, arranging or participating in any financing for, providing advisory or other services to third parties in, or acting as a principal in, transactions which may involve the Fund or any other party; provided that, the Liquidity Provider and its affiliates do not disclose any Confidential Information in connection therewith.

The following is added as the seventh paragraph of Section 8.15 of the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, each party (and its Representatives and affiliates) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of an investment in the VRDP Shares and all materials of any kind that are provided to the party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are defined in U.S. Treasury regulation section 1.6011-4).
