Each time that the Fund wishes to issue and sell Shares hereunder (each, a “Placement”), it will notify Xxxxx by e-mail notice (or other method mutually agreed to in writing by the parties) containing the parameters in accordance with which it desires the Shares to be sold, which shall, at a minimum, include the number of Shares to be issued (the “Placement Shares”), the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one day, any minimum price below which sales may not be made and the discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Xxxxx, excluding the Reimbursable Amounts (as defined in Section 7(e) herein) (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which, containing such minimum sales parameters

The amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Xxxxx in connection with the sale of the Placement Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2, unless superseded by the terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable Placement Notice. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Fund nor Xxxxx will have any obligation whatsoever with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Fund delivers a Placement Notice to Xxxxx and Xxxxx does not decline, within the time period specified in Section 4, such Placement Notice pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified therein and herein. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of a Placement Notice, the terms of the Placement Notice will control.

3. Sale of Placement Shares by Xxxxx. Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, upon the Fund’s issuance of a Placement Notice, and unless the sale of the Placement Shares described therein has been declined, suspended or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Xxxxx, for the period specified in the Placement Notice, will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares up to the amount specified, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice. Xxxxx will provide written confirmation to the Fund no later than the opening of the Trading Day (as defined below) immediately following the Trading Day on which it has made sales of Placement Shares hereunder setting forth the number of Placement Shares sold on such day, the compensation payable by the Fund with respect to such sales, with an itemization of deductions made by Xxxxx (as set forth in Section 5(a)) from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales, and the Net Proceeds (as defined below) payable to the Fund.

As the Fund’s agent with respect to any such sale, Xxxxx covenants that it will comply with all prospectus delivery requirements imposed under applicable federal and state securities laws. Xxxxx will not use any sales material (as such term is defined in Section 6(a)(xx) herein) that has not been prepared by the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares. To the extent that Xxxxx uses any sales material that has been prepared by the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser or

the Sub-Adviser in connection with the offering and sale of Placement Shares and such sales material is required to be filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) under FINRA’s conduct rules, Xxxxx or its counsel will file such sales material with FINRA. Xxxxx covenants that any statements that it or its directors, officers, employees or agents make in connection with the offering and sale of the Placement Shares will be consistent with the disclosure in the Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser each acknowledge and agree that (i) there can be no assurance that Xxxxx will be successful in selling Placement Shares, and (ii) Xxxxx will not incur any liability or obligation to the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or any other person or entity if it does not sell Placement Shares for any reason other than a failure by Xxxxx to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Placement Shares as required under this Section 3. For the purposes hereof, “Trading Day” means any day on which Shares are purchased and sold on the principal exchange or market on which the Shares are listed or quoted.

The Fund or Xxxxx may, upon notice to the other party in writing (including by e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3 or by telephone (confirmed immediately by verifiable facsimile transmission or e-mail correspondence to all of the individuals of the other party set forth on Schedule 3)), suspend or refuse to undertake any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension or refusal shall not affect or impair either party’s obligations with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no such notice shall be effective against the other unless it is made to the individuals named on Schedule 3 hereto in accordance with this Section 4, as such Schedule may be amended from time to time.

5. Settlement.

(a) Settlement of Placement Shares. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Placement Notice, settlement for sales of Placement Shares will occur on the third (3rd) Business Day (or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way trading) following the date on which such sales are made (each, a “Settlement Date”).

7. Covenants of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Investment Adviser. The Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, jointly and severally, covenant and agree with Xxxxx that:

(a) The Fund will promptly advise Xxxxx (i) when, during any period that a prospectus relating to the offer or sale of Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any amendment to the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares shall have become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or for any additional information,

affecting or in respect of the Placement Shares, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Fund will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares or any supplement to the Prospectus affecting the Placement Shares unless the Fund has furnished Xxxxx with a copy for its review prior to filing. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the Fund will cause the Prospectus Supplement to be transmitted to the Commission for filing pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement affecting the Placement Shares and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Fund will timely file the requisite copies of the Prospectus with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497(c) or Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act, whichever is applicable or, if applicable, will timely file the certification permitted by Rule 497(j) under the Securities Act and will advise Xxxxx of the time and manner of such filing.

(b) During any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Xxxxx under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will comply so far as it is able with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act, as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of the Placement Shares during such period in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Prospectus, and will file with the Commission and the NYSE Amex all documents pursuant to the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act in the manner and within the time periods required by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act. If during such period any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading, or if during such period it is necessary to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus to comply with the Securities Act, the Fund will promptly notify Xxxxx to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Fund will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus so as to correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance.

(c) During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Xxxxx under the Securities Act with respect to a pending sale of the Placement Shares, the Fund will use reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the NYSE Amex and to qualify, if necessary, the Placement Shares for sale under the securities laws of such United States jurisdictions as Xxxxx reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Fund shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or dealer in securities, file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction, or meet any other requirement in connection with this Section 7(c) deemed by the Fund to be unduly burdensome.

(d) As soon as practicable, but in no event later than the last day of the 18th full calendar month following the calendar quarter in which the effective date of the Registration

Statement falls, the Fund will make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement, which need not be audited, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) and Rule 158 of the Securities Act.

(e) The Fund agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with performance of its obligations hereunder and in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all expenses incident to the issuance and delivery of the Placement Shares (including all printing and engraving costs), (ii) all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent of the Placement Shares, (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, (iv) all reasonable fees and expenses of the Fund’s counsel and the Fund’s independent public or certified public accountants and other advisors, (v) all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, printing, filing, shipping and distribution of the Registration Statement (including financial statements, exhibits, schedules, consents and certificates of experts) and the Prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and this Agreement, (vi) all filing fees, distribution fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with qualifying or registering (or obtaining exemptions from the qualification or registration of) all or any part of the Placement Shares for offer and sale under the state securities or blue sky laws, including, if requested by Xxxxx, the preparation by counsel for Xxxxx and printing of a “Blue Sky Survey” or other memorandum, and any supplements thereto, advising Xxxxx of such qualifications, registrations and exemptions (provided that any fees of counsel for Xxxxx shall be limited in accordance with clause (ix) below), (vii) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Placement Shares on the NYSE Amex, (viii) all fees associated with any filings required to be made with FINRA (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Xxxxx in connection with the review by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Placement Shares, such fees and disbursements to be limited in accordance with clause (ix) below), (ix) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Xxxxx (provided such fees and expenses (a) shall not exceed $75,000 in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the preparation and filing of the initial Prospectus Supplement dated as of the date hereof relating to the Placement Shares and providing the services described in clauses (vi) and (viii) above and (b) shall not exceed $30,000 on an annual basis in each annual period following the date of this Agreement), and (x) all other fees, costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Fund of its obligations hereunder. Except as provided in Section 7(e)(ix) above with respect to Xxxxx (the “Reimbursable Amounts”), the aggregate amount of any discount, commission or other compensation to be paid by the Fund to Xxxxx in connection with Xxxxx’ performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall be as set forth on Schedule 2 attached hereto (or as otherwise agreed to in writing as set forth in the Placement Notice). The Fund shall pay to Xxxxx the Reimbursable Amounts in addition to such discount, commissions and other compensation payable to Xxxxx as contemplated by Schedule 2 (or as otherwise agreed to in writing as set forth in the Placement Notice). Each of the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, severally, agree to pay all costs, fees and expenses of its respective counsel.

(f) The Fund will use the Net Proceeds as described in the Prospectus.

(g) The Fund will, at any time during the term of this Agreement, as supplemented from time to time, advise Xxxxx immediately after it shall have received notice or

obtained knowledge thereof, of any information or fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document required to be provided to Xxxxx pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) The Fund will cooperate with any due diligence review conducted by Xxxxx or its agents, including, without limitation, providing information and making available documents and senior corporate officers, as Xxxxx may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Fund shall be required to make available documents and senior corporate officers only (i) at the Fund’s principal offices (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) and (ii) during the Fund’s ordinary business hours. The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this Section 7(h) will include during the term of this Agreement (x) if reasonably requested by Xxxxx, a bring-down diligence conference among Xxxxx and certain officers of the Fund’s operations or legal departments upon the issuance by the Fund of a Placement Notice and (y) a quarterly diligence conference to occur within three business days following the Fund’s filing of each of its annual and semi-annual reports on Form N-CSR and N-CSRS, respectively (the “Reports”), and quarterly schedule of investments whereby the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser will make their senior corporate officers, including portfolio managers, reasonably available to address certain diligence inquiries of Xxxxx and will provide such additional information and documents as Xxxxx may reasonably request; provided, however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7(h), the Fund’s portfolio managers shall not be required to participate with respect to quarterly diligence conferences to be held in connection with the filing of the Fund’s quarterly schedule of investments.

(i) The Fund agrees that on such dates as the Securities Act shall require, the Fund will (i) file a Prospectus Supplement with the Commission under Rule 497 under the Securities Act, which Prospectus Supplement will set forth, within the relevant period, the amount of Placement Shares sold through Xxxxx, the Net Proceeds to the Fund and the compensation payable by the Fund to Xxxxx with respect to such Placement Shares, and (ii) deliver such number of copies of each such Prospectus Supplement to each exchange or market on which such sales were effected as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market.

(j) During the term of this Agreement, each time the Fund (i) files the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares, (ii) amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares by means of a post-effective amendment, sticker, or supplement (other than a Prospectus Supplement filed in accordance with Section 7(i) of this Agreement), or (iii) files a Report (to the extent not already covered by subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 7(j)), each of the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall furnish Xxxxx with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(j). (Each date contemplated in subsections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7(j) is referred to herein as the “Representation Date”). With respect to post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement contemplated by this Section 7(j), if the Fund is not otherwise permitted to rely on Rule 486(b) regarding the effective date of a post-effective amendment, the Representation Date shall be the date the Commission declares such amendment effective and all Representation Date deliveries relating thereto which are required by Section 7 shall be delivered on or as promptly as practicable following the date of effectiveness of such

amendment. If the Fund is permitted to rely on Rule 486(b) in connection with the filing of a post-effective amendment, then the Representation Date shall be the date such post-effective amendment is filed with the Commission.

(k) Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 7(k), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Fund shall cause to be furnished to Xxxxx with a written opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP or such other counsel as the parties may agree (the “Fund Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(k)(1), but modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinion, counsel may furnish Xxxxx with a letter to the effect that Xxxxx may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 7(k) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date). Insofar as any opinion of Fund Counsel relates to or is dependent upon matters governed by Maryland law, Fund Counsel will be permitted to rely on the opinion of Xxxxxxx LLP or such other Maryland counsel as it may select. In the event that a Representation Date is triggered by the filing of a Report, only the opinion identified in Exhibit 7(k)(2) shall be required. Notwithstanding Section 7(j), in the event the Fund desires to sell Placement Shares following the filing of a post-effective amendment that includes among other items, audited financial statements not otherwise included in the then-current Prospectus Supplement, the Fund shall cause to be delivered to Xxxxx on the date such post-effective amendment is filed with the Commission the opinion identified in Exhibit 7(k)(2).

(l) (A) Except as otherwise provided in the last sentence of this Section 7(l), on the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Investment Manager shall cause to be furnished to Xxxxx with a written opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxxx LLP or such other counsel as the parties may agree (the “Investment Manager US Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(l)(A), but in each case modified, as necessary, to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented; provided, however, that in lieu of such opinions, counsel may furnish Xxxxx with a letter to the effect that Xxxxx may rely on a prior opinion delivered under this Section 7(l)(A) to the same extent as if it were dated the date of such letter (except that statements in such prior opinion shall be deemed to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at such Representation Date) and (B) on the date hereof, the Investment Manager shall cause to be furnished to Xxxxx with a written opinion of Singapore counsel to the Investment Manager (“Investment Manager General Counsel”), dated the date hereof, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(l)(B). In the event that a Representation Date is triggered by the filing of a Report, the opinion identified in this Section 7(l)(A) shall not be required.

(m) On the date hereof and each date on which a Report is filed, or during any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Xxxxx, each time that the Registration Statement is amended or the Prospectus supplemented to include additional financial statements, the Fund shall cause its independent accountants to furnish Xxxxx letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date of each such date, in form and substance satisfactory to Xxxxx, (i) confirming that they are independent public accountants

within the meaning of the Securities Act and are in compliance with the applicable requirements relating to the qualification of accountants under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X of the Commission, (ii) stating, as of such date, the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters in connection with registered public offerings (the first such letter, the “Initial Comfort Letter”) and (iii) updating the Initial Comfort Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Representation Date is triggered by the filing of the Fund’s semi-annual report and to the extent the Fund’s independent accountants have not been engaged by the Fund to perform a review of the Fund’s unaudited semi-annual financial statements in connection with such filing, then no Comfort Letter contemplated by this Section 7(m) shall be required; provided, however, that in such case the Fund shall deliver to Xxxxx on the applicable Representation Date a certificate of the Fund’s chief financial officer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m) (the “CFO Certificate”).

(n) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, each of the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser shall furnish Xxxxx with a certificate of its respective Secretary or other authorized representative of the company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Xxxxx.

(o) Each Placement Notice issued by the Fund to Xxxxx shall be deemed to be an affirmation that the representations and warranties made by it in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at the time such Placement Notice is issued, and that the Fund has complied in all material respects with all of the agreements to be performed by it hereunder at or prior to such time.

(p) The Fund (including its agents and representatives, other than Xxxxx in its capacity as such) will not make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder, except by means of the Prospectus.

(q) The Fund will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(r) The Fund will not, without giving Xxxxx at least three business days prior written notice of a proposed sale, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, shares of common stock during the period beginning on the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to Xxxxx hereunder and ending on the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement

Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; provided, however, that such restrictions will not be required in connection with the Fund’s issuance or sale of shares of common stock pursuant to (i) the Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan, and (ii) conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding as of the date of this Agreement.

(s) The Fund will furnish to Xxxxx and its counsel (at the expense of the Fund) copies of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus relating to the registration and issuance of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement that are filed with the Commission during the period in which a prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, in each case as soon as reasonably practicable and in such quantities as Xxxxx may from time to time reasonably request.

(t) Each of the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxx has informed the Fund that Xxxxx may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act, purchase and sell Placement Shares for its own account at the same time as Placement Shares are being sold by the Fund pursuant to this Agreement, provided that Xxxxx agrees that (i) the Fund shall not be deemed to have authorized or consented to any such purchases or sales by Xxxxx and (ii) no such purchases or sales shall take place while a Placement Notice is in effect (except to the extent Xxxxx may engage in sales of Placement Shares (A) purchased or deemed purchased from the Fund as a “riskless principal” or in a similar capacity or (B) with respect to errors that cause Xxxxx to take an unplanned principal position, in each case to the extent such sales are permitted under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Investment Company Act).

(u) The Fund will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes or might reasonably be expected to constitute, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Fund to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares or (ii) sell, bid for, or purchase the Placement Shares, or pay anyone any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Placement Shares other than Xxxxx; provided, however, the Fund may issue and sell shares of common stock pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan.

(v) During the term of this Agreement, the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser will furnish to Xxxxx such information as reasonably requested by Xxxxx regarding the Fund, the Investment Manager or the Investment Adviser.

8. Conditions to Xxxxx’x Obligations.

(b) None of the following events shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) receipt by the Fund of any request for additional information from the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority during the period of effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the response to which would require any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to or affecting the Placement Shares; (ii) the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, including any notice objecting to the use of the Registration Statement or order pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Investment Company Act having been issued and proceedings therefor initiated, or to the knowledge of the Fund, threatened by the Commission; (iii) receipt by the Fund of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Placement Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; (iv) the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus so that, in the case of the Registration Statement, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and, that in the case of the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (v) the Fund’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(c) Xxxxx shall not have advised the Fund that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, contains an untrue statement of a material fact regarding Xxxxx that in Xxxxx’ opinion is material, or omits to state a fact regarding Xxxxx that in Xxxxx’ opinion is material and is required to be stated therein or is necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which it was made, not misleading.

(d) Except as contemplated or disclosed in the Prospectus, there shall not have been any material change, on a consolidated basis, in the authorized capital stock of the Fund or any Fund Material Adverse Effect, Investment Manager Material Adverse Effect, Investment Adviser Material Adverse Effect or Sub-Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or any development that may reasonably be expected to cause a Fund Material Adverse Effect, Investment Manager Material Adverse Effect, Investment Adviser Material Adverse Effect or Sub-Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Fund’s debt or preferred securities by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Fund’s debt or preferred securities, the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the sole judgment of Xxxxx (without relieving the Fund of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to

proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.

(e) Xxxxx shall have received the opinion of Fund Counsel required to be delivered pursuant Section 7(k) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(k).

All such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents will be in compliance with the provisions hereof. The Fund will furnish Xxxxx with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and other documents as Xxxxx shall reasonably request.

(k) All filings with the Commission required by Rule 497 under the Securities Act to have been filed prior to the giving of any Placement Notice hereunder shall have been made within the applicable time period prescribed for such filing by Rule 497.

(l) The Placement Shares shall have been approved for listing on the NYSE Amex, subject only to notice of issuance.

(m) There shall not have occurred any event that would permit Xxxxx to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11(a).

(n) Prior to the date hereof, FINRA shall have confirmed that it has no objection with respect to the fairness and reasonableness of the placement terms and arrangements set forth herein.

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Fund and the Investment Manager. The Fund and the Investment Manager, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless Xxxxx, its

directors, members, officers and each person, if any, who controls Xxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

(1) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) including any information deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430A or Rule 497 under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any sales material, any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(2) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 9(e) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Fund and the Investment Manager; and

(3) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by Xxxxx), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (1) or (2) above,

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund or the Investment Manager by Xxxxx expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or in any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

(b) Indemnification by Xxxxx. Xxxxx agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Fund and the Investment Manager, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of their officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Fund or the Investment Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section 9, as incurred, but only with respect to (i) any failure by Xxxxx to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements applicable to the Placement Shares; and (ii) untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Fund or the Investment Manager by

Xxxxx expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), any sales material, or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto). Each of the Fund and the Investment Manager acknowledge that Xxxxx has not furnished any information to the Fund for inclusion in the Prospectus.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. Counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected as follows: counsel to Xxxxx, its directors, members, officers, and each person, if any, who controls Xxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by Xxxxx; counsel to the Fund, its directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by the Fund; counsel to the Investment Manager and each person, if any, who controls the Investment Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by the Investment Manager. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for: the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for Xxxxx and each person, if any, who controls Xxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Fund, each of their directors, trustees, members, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for the Investment Manager; and the fees and expenses of more than one counsel, in each case in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 9 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Settlement Without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 9(a)(2) effected without its written consent if

(i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

(e) Other Agreements with Respect to Indemnification and Contribution. The provisions of this Section 9 hereof shall not affect any agreements among the Fund and the Investment Manager with respect to indemnification of each other or contribution between themselves.

(f) Contribution.

(1) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Fund and the Investment Manager on the one hand and Xxxxx on the other hand from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Fund and the Investment Manager on the one hand and of Xxxxx on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(2) The relative benefits received by the Fund and the Investment Manager on the one hand and Xxxxx on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the Net Proceeds from the offering of the Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Fund and the Investment Manager and the total discounts and commissions received by Xxxxx as calculated in accordance with the terms set forth in Schedule 2, bear to the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(3) The relative fault of the Fund and the Investment Manager on the one hand and Xxxxx on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Fund, by the Investment Manager or by Xxxxx and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(4) The Fund, the Investment Manager and Xxxxx agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(f) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(f). The aggregate amount of

losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9(f) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(5) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9(f), Xxxxx shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the Placement Shares actually distributed by Xxxxx exceeds the amount of any damages that Xxxxx has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

(6) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(7) For purposes of this Section 9(f), each person, if any, who controls Xxxxx within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as Xxxxx, and each person who controls the Fund and the Investment Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Fund and the Investment Manager and each trustee, director or member of the Fund and the Investment Manager shall have the same rights to contribution as the Fund and the Investment Manager.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Xxxxx, its partners, officers or employees, or any person controlling Xxxxx, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and or by or on behalf of the Fund and/or the Investment Manager, their respective directors and officers or any person who controls the Fund and/or the Investment Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor, or (iii) any termination of this Agreement. A successor to Xxxxx or to the Fund or to the Investment Manager, their respective directors or officers, or any person controlling Xxxxx or the Fund or the Investment Manager shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity, contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 9.

10. Representations and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations and warranties of the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser herein or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive, as of their respective dates, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of Xxxxx, any controlling persons, or the Fund and/or the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser (or any of their respective officers, directors or controlling persons), (ii) delivery and acceptance of the Placement Shares and payment therefor or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

11. Termination.

(a) Xxxxx shall have the right by giving notice as hereinafter specified at any time to terminate this Agreement if (i) any Fund Material Adverse Effect, Investment Manager Material Adverse Effect, Investment Adviser Material Adverse Effect or Sub-Adviser Material Adverse Effect, has occurred which, in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxx, may materially impair the investment quality of the Placement Shares, (ii) the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform any agreement on its part to be performed hereunder; provided, however, in the case of any failure of the Fund, the Investment Manager, the Investment Adviser or the Sub-Adviser to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 7(j), 7(k), 7(l) or 7(m), Xxxxx’x right to terminate shall not arise unless such failure to deliver (or cause to be delivered) continues for more than thirty (30) days from the date of such Representation Date pursuant to which such delivery was required; provided, further, that, Xxxxx shall have the right to suspend its obligations hereunder, regardless of whether a Placement Notice is pending, beginning on the sixth (6th) day after the date of any Representation Date if any certification, opinion, or letter referenced in the foregoing proviso has not yet been (or caused to be) delivered; (iii) any other condition of Xxxxx’ obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on the NYSE Amex shall have occurred. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of Section 7(e), Section 9, Section 10, Section 15, Section 17 and Section 19 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such termination. If Xxxxx elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 11, Xxxxx shall provide the required notice as specified herein.

(d) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Sections 11(a), (b) or (c) above or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, however, that any such termination by mutual agreement shall in all cases be deemed to provide that Section 7(e), Section 9, Section 10, Section 15, Section 17 and Section 19 shall remain in full force and effect.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Sections 11(b) and 11(c), any termination of this Agreement shall be effective on the date specified in such notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the date of receipt of such notice by Xxxxx or the Fund, as the case may be. If such termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

(f) Any Reimbursable Amounts owed to Xxxxx upon a termination in accordance with this Section 11 shall be payable by the Fund to Xxxxx only to the extent such Reimbursable Amounts are actually incurred by Xxxxx as contemplated by FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(D).

v. Neither the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any of the Fund Agreements by the Fund, nor the consummation by the Fund of the transactions herein or therein contemplated (i) conflicts with or constitutes a breach of the charter (the “Charter”) or bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Fund, (ii) conflicts with or constitutes a material breach of or a material default under, any agreement, indenture, lease, permit or other instrument to which the Fund is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound that has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, or (iii) violates any existing federal, New York or Maryland law, or regulation or to such counsel’s knowledge, violates any order of any federal, New York or Maryland governmental authority applicable to the Fund or any of its property, which violation would have a material adverse effect on the condition or business of the Fund, or results in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Fund pursuant to the

vii. To the knowledge of the attorneys involved in the preparation and negotiation of the Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Fund or to which the Fund or any of its property is subject, of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Prospectus, and there are no material agreements, contracts, indentures, leases, permits or other instruments that are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, which are not described or filed as required; and the statements included in the Prospectus under the headings “Taxation,” “Description of Shares” and “Certain Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law and the Charter and the Bylaws” to the extent that they state matters of United States law or legal conclusions with respect thereto, are accurate and fair summaries of the laws and documents described therein;

viii. No material consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of the Commission, FINRA, any national securities exchange or, to the knowledge of such counsel, any court or governmental agency or body is required on the part of the Fund in connection with the transactions contemplated herein, except such as have been made or obtained under the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the valid issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in the manner contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus and such other approvals (specified in such opinion) as have been obtained;

ix. To the knowledge of the attorneys involved in the preparation and negotiation of the Agreement, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, no holders of securities of the Fund have rights to the registration of such securities under the Registration Statement; and

x. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act; any required filing of the Prospectus, and any supplements thereto, pursuant to Rule 497 have been made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 497; to the knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued, no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or threatened by the Commission; and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (other than the financial statements, the notes thereto and any schedules and other financial and statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel expresses no belief) comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act.

In addition, such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Fund, and representatives of Xxxxx and/or their counsel, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and Prospectus and related matters were discussed. Such counsel has not independently verified and is not passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. Based solely on the participation and discussion described above, however, nothing has come to the attention of such counsel that causes such counsel to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (b) the Prospectus as of its date and on the date hereof included or includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in each case, other than the financial statements, the notes thereto and any schedules and other financial and statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel makes no statement).

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may limit such opinion to matters involving the application of (i) the laws of the State of Maryland, (ii) the federal laws of the United States, and (iii) the laws of the State of New York with respect solely to the enforceability of the Agreement and the Fund Agreements under the provisions of New York law. To the extent that the governing law of any of the Fund Agreements is other than that of the State of New York, such counsel may assume that such governing law is identical to the internal laws of the State of New York. Such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of the State of Maryland on the opinion of Xxxxxxx LLP or such other Maryland counsel as it may select, (B) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the Federal laws of the United States, to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of other counsel of good standing whom they believe to be reliable and who are satisfactory to counsel for Xxxxx and (C) as to matters of fact, to the extent they deem proper, on certificates of responsible officers of the Fund and public officials. References to the Prospectus in this paragraph (b) shall also include any supplements thereto as of the date hereof.

I hereby certify that I am the duly elected Chief Financial Officer of the Fund.

I have reviewed the Fund’s unaudited semi-annual financial statements and financial highlights as of and for the semi-annual period ended April 30, 20 attached hereto as Exhibit A and included in the Fund’s semi-annual report on Form N-CSRS (the “Semi-Annual Financial Statements”) and for purposes of this certification, have inquired of other officials of the Fund, as necessary, who have responsibility for certain financial and accounting matters.

Nothing has come to my attention based on my review of the Semi-Annual Financial Statements and my inquiries of other Fund officials as stated above, that causes me to believe that:
