Ladies and Gentlemen:

CALAMOS CONVERTIBLE AND HIGH INCOME FUND, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Fund”), and CALAMOS ADVISORS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”) confirm their agreement (this “Agreement”) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (“Xxxxx”), as follows:

1. Issuance and Sale of Shares. The Fund agrees that, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, it may issue and sell through Xxxxx, acting as agent and/or principal, up to five million (5,000,000) of the Fund’s common shares of beneficial interest, no par value per share (the “Shares”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1 on the number of Shares issued and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund, and Xxxxx shall have no obligation in connection with such compliance. The issuance and sale of Shares through Xxxxx will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) filed by the Fund and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

The Fund has entered into (i) an Investment Management Agreement with the Adviser dated as of May 1, 2003, (ii) a Custody Agreement with The Bank of New York dated as of June 15, 2007, (iii) a Foreign Custody Manager Agreement with The Bank of New York dated as of June 15, 2007, (iv) a Stock Transfer Agency Agreement with The Bank of New York dated as of June 15, 2007, (v) an Amended and Restated Financial Accounting Services Agreement with the Adviser dated as of December 13, 2004, and (vi) a Master Services Agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company dated as of March 15, 2004, as effective with respect to the Fund as of October 21, 2004 and such agreements are herein referred to as the “Advisory Agreement,” the “Custodian Agreement”, the “Foreign Custody Agreement,” the “Transfer Agency Agreement,” the “Accounting Agreement” and the “Master Services Agreement,” respectively. Collectively, the Advisory Agreement, the Custodian Agreement, the Foreign

Custody Agreement, the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Accounting Agreement and the Master Services Agreement are herein referred to as the “Fund Agreements.” In addition, the Fund has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to which holders of Shares shall have their dividends automatically reinvested in additional Shares unless they elect to receive such dividends in cash, and such plan is herein referred to as the “Dividend Reinvestment Plan.”

The Fund has filed, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”) and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Investment Company Act”), with the Commission a registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos. 333-146947 and 811-21319) (the “Original Registration Statement”), including a base prospectus (“Basic Prospectus”), with respect to the Shares. The Fund shall prepare one or more supplements relating to the Shares (collectively, the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Basic Prospectus, to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act. The Fund shall furnish to Xxxxx, for use by Xxxxx, copies of the Basic Prospectus, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, the Original Registration Statement, as amended when it became effective, including all documents filed as part thereof, and including any information contained in a Prospectus Supplement subsequently filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act is herein called the “Registration Statement.” The Basic Prospectus, as it may be supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by the Fund with the Commission pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or to any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“XXXXX”).

2. Placements. 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 and any minimum price below which sales may not be made (a “Placement Notice”), a form of which, containing such minimum sales parameters necessary, is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Placement Notice shall originate from any of the individuals from the Fund set forth on Schedule 3 (with a copy to each of the other individuals from the Fund listed on such schedule), and shall be addressed to each of the individuals from Xxxxx set forth on Schedule 3, as such Schedule 3 may be amended from time to time. The Placement Notice shall be effective upon receipt by Xxxxx unless and until (i) in accordance with the notice requirement set forth in Section 4, Xxxxx declines to accept the terms contained therein for any reason, in its sole discretion, (ii) the entire amount of the Placement Shares have been sold, (iii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 4, the Fund suspends or terminates the Placement Notice, (iv) the Fund issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those on the earlier dated Placement Notice, or (v) the Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 11. 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. 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. The Fund and the Adviser each acknowledge that Xxxxx intends to sell the Placement Shares in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, the then-existing trading market for the Shares or sales made to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network, or in any other manner that may be deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. To the extent that Xxxxx acts 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. The Fund and the 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 or the 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.

4. Suspension of Sales. The Fund or Xxxxx may, upon notice to the other party in writing within two business days following the delivery or receipt, as applicable, of the Placement Notice (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 (3^rd) 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”). The amount of proceeds to be delivered to the Fund on a Settlement Date against the receipt of the Placement Shares sold (the “Net Proceeds”) will be equal to the aggregate sales price at which such Placement Shares were sold, after deduction for (i) Xxxxx’x commission, discount or other compensation for such sales payable by the Fund pursuant to Section 2 hereof, (ii) any other amounts due and payable by the Fund to Xxxxx hereunder pursuant to Section 7(e) hereof, and (iii) any transaction fees imposed by any governmental or self-regulatory organization in respect of such sales.

(b) Delivery of Shares. On or before each Settlement Date, the Fund will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer the Placement Shares being sold by crediting Xxxxx’x or its designee’s account at The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit and Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto and, upon receipt of such Placement Shares, which in all cases shall be freely tradable, transferable, registered shares in good deliverable form, Xxxxx will deliver the related Net Proceeds in same day funds to an account designated by the Fund prior to the Settlement Date. The Fund agrees that if the Fund defaults on its obligation to deliver Placement Shares on a Settlement Date, the Fund and the Adviser each agree that, in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Section 9(a) hereto, it will (i) hold Xxxxx harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Fund and (ii) pay to Xxxxx any commission, discount, or other compensation to which it would otherwise have been entitled absent such default.

There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the Adviser, threatened, against or affecting the Adviser which is required to be disclosed in the Prospectus (other than as disclosed therein), or that could reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Adviser of its obligations under this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement, or the Accounting Agreement; the aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Adviser is a party or of which any of its property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Prospectus, including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could not reasonably be expected to result in an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

(10) Absence of Further Requirements. (A) No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or foreign, and (B) no authorization,

approval, vote or other consent of any other person or entity, is necessary or required for the performance by the Adviser of its obligations under this Agreement, the Advisory Agreement, or the Accounting Agreement, except such as have been already obtained under the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act, the rules and regulations of FINRA and the NYSE and such as may be required under state securities laws.

(11) Possession of Permits. The Adviser has such licenses, permits and authorizations of governmental or regulatory authorities (“permits”) as are necessary to own its property and to conduct its business in the manner described in the Prospectus; the Adviser has fulfilled and performed all its material obligations with respect to such permits and no event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the Adviser under any such permit.

(12) Adviser Compliance with Policies and Procedures. The Adviser has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures under Rule 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act reasonably designed to prevent violation of the Advisers Act by the Adviser and its supervised persons.

(13) Absence of Manipulation. The Adviser has not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security to facilitate the sale or resale of the Placement Shares, and the Adviser is not aware of any such action taken or to be taken by any affiliates of the Adviser, other than such actions as taken by Xxxxx pursuant to this Agreement, so long as such actions are in compliance with all applicable law.

(c) Certificates. Any certificate signed by any authorized officer of the Fund or the Adviser identified on Schedule 3 attached hereto, as such Schedule may be updated from time to time pursuant to notice properly delivered to Xxxxx pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement and delivered to the representatives or to counsel for Xxxxx shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Fund or the Adviser, as the case may be, to Xxxxx as to the matters covered thereby.

7. Covenants of the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the 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, and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement affecting the Placement Shares to which Xxxxx reasonably objects, in any event until after the end of the period during which a prospectus is required to be delivered to purchasers of the Placement Shares under the Securities Act. 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 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 its best efforts to cause the Placement Shares to be listed on the NYSE 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 distribution of the Placement Shares; 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) The Fund will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 months after the end of the Fund’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement covering a 12-month period that satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) 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 Shares, (iii) all necessary issue, transfer and other stamp taxes in connection with the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares, (iv) all 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 by the Fund 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 or any other country, including, if requested by Xxxxx, the preparation by counsel for Xxxxx and printing of a “Blue Sky Survey,” an “International Blue Sky Survey” or other memorandum, and any supplements thereto, advising Xxxxx of such qualifications, registrations and exemptions, (vii) the fees and expenses associated with listing the Placement Shares on the NYSE, (viii) the filing fees incident to the review by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Placement Shares, and (ix) all other fees, costs and expenses incident to the performance by the Fund of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Fund will not be responsible for legal fees incurred by Xxxxx in connection with Xxxxx’ obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation the negotiation of this Agreement. The aggregate amount of any discount, commission, expense reimbursement 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. The Adviser agrees to pay all costs, fees and expenses of its counsel.

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

(g) During either the pendency of any Placement Notice given hereunder, or any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered by Xxxxx, the Fund shall provide Xxxxx notice as promptly as reasonably possible before it offers to sell, contracts to sell, sells, grants any option to sell or otherwise disposes of any Shares (other than Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire Shares; provided, that such notice shall not be required in connection with the (i) issuance or sale of Shares, options to purchase Shares issuable upon the exercise of options, (ii) the issuance or sale of Shares pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or (iii) any Shares issuable upon conversion of securities or the exercise of warrants, options or other rights in effect or outstanding.

(h) 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.

(i) 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 and (ii) during the Fund’s ordinary business hours. The parties acknowledge that the due diligence review contemplated by this Section 7(i) will include during the term of this Agreement (i) 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 (ii) a quarterly diligence conference to occur within three business days following the Fund’s filing of each of its annual and semi-annual reports and quarterly schedule of investments whereby the Fund will make its senior corporate officers, including portfolio managers, available to address certain diligence inquiries of Xxxxx and will provide such additional information and documents as Xxxxx may reasonably request.

(j) 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.

(k) During the term of this Agreement, each time the Fund files the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares or 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(j) of this Agreement), each of the Fund and the Adviser shall furnish Xxxxx with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(k). (Each date of filing of a Prospectus is referred to herein as the “Representation Date.”)

(l) 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 Xxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxx LLP (the “Fund Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(l)(1) (for the filing of the initial Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares), and Exhibit 7(l)(2) (for subsequent dates), 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(l) 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 Delaware law, Fund Counsel will be permitted to rely on the opinion of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Xxxxxxx LLP.

(m) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, the Adviser shall cause to be furnished to Xxxxx with a written opinion of Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (the “Adviser Counsel”), dated the Representation Date, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7(m)(1) (for the filing of the initial Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares), and Exhibit 7(m)(2) (for subsequent dates), 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(m) 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).

(n) On the date hereof and thereafter as of each Representation Date, or 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 amended financial information the Fund shall cause its independent accountants to furnish Xxxxx letters (the “Comfort Letters”), dated the date of each Representation 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.

(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) Without the written consent of Xxxxx, the Fund will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or

securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Shares during the period beginning on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which any Placement Notice is delivered to Xxxxx hereunder and ending on the fifth (5^th) Trading Day immediately following the final Settlement Date with respect to Placement Shares sold pursuant to such Placement Notice; the Fund will not directly or indirectly in any other “at-the-market” or continuous equity transaction offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares of (other than the Placement Shares offered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement) or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, warrants or any rights to purchase or acquire, Shares prior to the tenth (10^th) 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 pursuant to (i) the Dividend Reinvestment 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 and the Adviser acknowledges and agrees that Xxxxx has informed the Fund that Xxxxx may, to the extent permitted under the Securities Act, 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 (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 (i) purchased or deemed purchased from the Fund as a “riskless principal” or in a similar capacity or (ii) with respect to errors that cause Xxxxx to take an unplanned principal positions).

(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 pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

(v) The Fund and the Adviser will furnish to Xxxxx for a period of two years from the date of this Agreement such information as reasonably requested by Xxxxx regarding the Fund or the Adviser.

8. Conditions to Xxxxx’x Obligations. The obligations of Xxxxx hereunder with respect to a Placement will be subject to the continuing accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties made by the Fund and the Adviser herein, to the due performance by the Fund and the

Adviser of their respective obligations hereunder, to the completion by Xxxxx of a due diligence review satisfactory to Xxxxx in its reasonable judgment, and to the continuing satisfaction (or waiver by Xxxxx in its sole discretion) of the following additional conditions:

(a) The Registration Statement shall have become effective and shall be available for the sale of (i) all Placement Shares issued pursuant to all prior Placements and not yet sold by Xxxxx and (ii) all Placement Shares contemplated to be issued by the Placement Notice relating to such Placement.

(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 or Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or any development that may reasonably be expected to cause a Fund Material Adverse Effect or Adviser Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Fund’s 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 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(l) on or before the date on which such delivery of such opinion is required pursuant to Section 7(l).

9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification by the Fund and the Adviser. The Fund and the Adviser, 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 Adviser; 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 Adviser 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 Adviser, 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 Adviser 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 Adviser 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). The Fund and the Adviser 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; and counsel to the Adviser and each person, if any, who controls such Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act shall be selected by such Adviser. 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 Adviser, 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 Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser and the total discounts and commissions received by Xxxxx, in each case as set forth on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Placement Shares as set forth on such cover.

(3) The relative fault of the Fund and the Adviser 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 Adviser 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 Adviser 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 (even if Xxxxx were treated as one entity for such purpose) 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 contributions as Xxxxx, and each person who controls the Fund or the Adviser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, each officer of the Fund and the Adviser and each trustee, director or member of the Fund and the Adviser shall have the same rights to contribution as the Fund and the Adviser.

(g) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the representation and warranties of the Fund and Adviser set forth in this Agreement 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 Adviser, its directors and officers or any person who controls the Fund and/or the Adviser 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 the Adviser, its respective directors or officers, or any person controlling the Fund or the Adviser, 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 and the 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 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 or 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 or the 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 or the Adviser to deliver (or cause another person to deliver) any certification, opinion, or letter required under Sections 7(k), 7(l), 7(m), or 7(n) 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 (6^th) 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’x obligations hereunder is not fulfilled, or (iv) any suspension or limitation of trading in the Placement Shares or in securities generally on the NYSE 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 and Section 17 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.

(b) The Fund shall have the right, by giving notice as hereinafter specified to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time.

(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 and Section 17 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 or Adviser, 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) Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Sections 11(a), 11(b) or 11(c), Xxxxx shall not be entitled to reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses except to the extent otherwise agreed by the parties.

12. Notices.

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXX, XXXX & XXXXX LLP

1. The Fund has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Act, with full power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

2. The Fund is duly registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 8 of the Investment Company Act as a closed-end, diversified management investment company and the Investment Company Act Notification has been duly filed with the Commission; all action has been taken by the Fund as required by the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act to permit the Fund to issue and sell the Placement Shares to make the public offering and consummate the sale of the Placement Shares as contemplated by the Sales Agreement; the Sales Agreement and each of the Fund Agreements complies in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, the Investment Company Act; and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, the Fund has not received any notice from the Commission pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Investment Company Act with respect to the Investment Company Act Notification or the Registration Statement.

4. The Fund has full power and authority to enter into the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements; the execution and delivery of, and the performance by the Fund of its obligations under the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements have been duly and validly authorized by the Fund; the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements constitute valid and legally binding agreements of the Fund, enforceable against the Fund in accordance with their terms, except as rights to indemnity and contribution thereunder may be limited by federal or state securities laws and subject to the qualification that the enforceability of the Fund’s obligations hereunder and thereunder may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

5. Neither the issuance and sale of the Placement Shares in accordance with the Sales Agreement, the execution, delivery or performance of the Sales Agreement or any of the Fund Agreements by the Fund, nor the consummation by the Fund of the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the adoption of the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (i) constitutes or will constitute a breach of the Declaration of Trust or by-laws of the Fund, (ii) constitutes or will constitute a breach of or a default under, any material contract of the Fund, as described in or included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement or Prospectus, or (iii) violates or will violate any existing United States of America or State of Illinois statute, law or regulation (assuming compliance with all applicable state securities and blue sky laws, and except that, in the published opinion of the Commission, the indemnification provisions in the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements, insofar as they relate to indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, are against public policy as expressed in the Securities

Act and therefore unenforceable) or violates any filing or judgment, injunction, order or decree known to us to be applicable to the Fund or any of its properties or will result in the creation or imposition of any security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Fund pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which the Fund is a party or by which the Fund may be bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Fund is subject (except in each case for such conflicts, violations, breaches or defaults of liens, charges or encumbrances that would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Fund to perform its obligations under the Sales Agreement and the Fund Agreements).

6. None of the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Placement Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement, or the consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement or the Fund Agreements, in each case on the terms contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, requires any consent, approval, authorization or other order of or registration or filing with, the Commission, FINRA, or any national securities exchange, or governmental body or agency of the United States of America, or State of Illinois or State of Delaware or, based solely on a review of our litigation docket and based solely on the Docket Search (as that term is defined in the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Opinion the form of which is set forth on Schedule II), an order of any court or arbitrator of the United States of America or State of Illinois or any Delaware Court (as that term is defined in the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Opinion), except (1) the absence of which, either individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the offering of the Placement Shares as contemplated in the Sales Agreement; (2) such as may have been obtained prior to the date hereof; and (3) such as may be required for compliance with state securities or blue sky laws of various jurisdictions.

7. The Fund has an authorized, issued and outstanding capitalization as set forth in the Prospectus and the authorized capitalization of the Fund conforms to the description thereof contained in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; all of the outstanding common shares of beneficial interest and preferred shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, and, subject to the qualification below, are fully paid and non-assessable; the Placement Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Fund under the Delaware Act and, when issued and delivered against payment therefor in accordance with the Sales Agreement, will be validly issued, and, subject to the qualification below, fully paid and non-assessable representing undivided beneficial ownership interests in the assets of the Fund and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive right, co-sale right, registration right, right of first refusal or other similar right; we express no opinion with respect to the liability of any holder of Securities who is, was or may become a named trustee of the Fund; the Placement Shares are duly listed, and admitted and authorized for trading, subject to official notice of issuance and evidence of satisfactory distribution, on the NYSE.

8. No holders of outstanding common shares of beneficial interest are entitled as such to any preemptive or other rights to subscribe for any common shares of beneficial interest under any applicable contract, under the Fund’s Declaration of Trust or the by-laws or under the Delaware Act; and, except as set forth in the Prospectus, no options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue, or rights to convert any obligations into or exchange any securities for, shares of capital stock of or ownership interests in the Fund are outstanding.

9. The statements set forth under the headings “Description of Shares” in the Prospectus, “Certain Provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws” and “U.S. Federal Income Tax Matters” in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Investment Company Act, the Delaware Act, the common shares of beneficial interest or the Fund’s Declaration of Trust, United States federal income tax law and regulations or legal conclusions with respect thereto, fairly and accurately summarize such provisions in all material respects.

10. To the knowledge of such counsel, 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 its property of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Prospectus, and there are no agreements, franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases, permits or other instruments that are required to be described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit thereto, which is not described or filed as required by the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act.

11. 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 at the time the Registration Statement became effective and as of the date hereof, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto (other than the financial statements and other financial and statistical information contained therein, as to which such counsel need express no statement) complied, and as of the date hereof, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act.

(i) the Registration Statement, at the time it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (other than the financial statements and schedules and any other financial or statistical information or calculations contained therein or incorporated therein by reference and other than any exhibits, schedules or appendices included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), or

(ii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Closing Date, contained or contains an 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 (other than the financial statements and schedules and any other financial or

statistical information or calculations contained therein or incorporated therein by reference and other than any exhibits, schedules or appendices included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion).

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (other than the Delaware Statutory Trust Act), the State of Illinois or 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, (B) as to matters involving the application of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act to the extent they deem proper and specified in such opinion, upon the opinion of Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Xxxxxxx LLP or 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 shall also include any supplements thereto at the Settlement Date.

Schedule II

FORM OF OPINION OF MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & XXXXXXX LLP

1. The Fund has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a statutory trust under the Delaware Act. The Fund has the statutory trust power and authority to own property and conduct its business as described in the Prospectus.

The holders of Placement Shares will be, subject to the terms of the Governing Instrument, entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that we express no opinion with respect to liability of any holder of Placement Shares who is, was or may become a named Trustee of the Fund.

Exhibit 7(l)(2)

Matters to be Covered by Subsequent Company Counsel Opinions

The Registration Statement, when it became effective, and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with the Commission, complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements for registration statements on Form N-2 under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; it being understood, however, that we express no opinion with respect to the financial statements, schedules or other financial data included in, or omitted from, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus. In passing upon the compliance as to form of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, we have assumed that the statements made therein are correct and complete.

The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act and, to the best of our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted by the Commission.

In addition, we have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Fund, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Fund, and your counsel and representatives, at which the contents of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed and, although we have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, nothing has come to our attention that has caused us to believe that (i) at the time the Registration Statement became effective, the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements, including supporting schedules and other financial and statistical information derived therefrom or included in the Registration Statement, as to which we express no comment) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (ii) as of its date the Prospectus (except as aforesaid) contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Exhibit 7(m)(1)

FORM OF OPINION OF XXXXXXXX & XXXXX LLP

1. The Adviser is a limited liability company existing and in good standing under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”) and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the State of Illinois. The Adviser has the limited liability company power to own and lease its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus and to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements. The Adviser is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where the ownership or leasing of its properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

2. The Adviser is duly registered with the Commission as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and to such counsel’s knowledge is not prohibited by the Advisers Act or the Investment Company Act from acting under the Advisory Agreement as investment adviser to the Company, as contemplated by the Registration Statement and Prospectus. To such counsel’s knowledge, there does not exist any proceeding or inquiry pending or threatened, which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the registration of the Adviser with the Commission.

3. The Adviser has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement to the respective counterparties. Each of the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement is a valid and binding obligations of the Adviser, and is enforceable against the Adviser in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; and (ii) as limited by the effect of the general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in proceedings in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief).

4. The Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of the Advisers Act and the Investment Company Act.

5. The description in the Prospectus of the Adviser and its business complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act.

6. The Adviser’s execution and delivery of the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement do not, and the Adviser’s performance of its obligations thereunder will not (a) violate or conflict with any existing provisions of the Adviser’s organizational documents, (b) constitute a violation by the Adviser of any applicable

provision of any law, statute or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America (except with respect to compliance with any disclosure requirement or any prohibition against fraud or misrepresentation or as to whether performance of the indemnification or contribution provisions in the Sales Agreement would be permitted, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion for purposes of this paragraph) or (c) breach, or result in a default under (nor constitute any event which with notice, lapse of time or both would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under), the contracts of the Adviser set forth on Exhibit A hereto (provided that such counsel expresses no opinion with respect to any financial test or cross-default provision in any such agreement), except for such conflicts, breaches, violations or defaults that would not have an Adviser Material Adverse Effect.

7. Such counsel’s Designated Transaction Lawyers do not have actual knowledge of any action, proceeding or investigation pending or overtly threatened in writing against the Adviser before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that: (a) asserts the invalidity of the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and/or the Accounting Agreement or (b) seeks to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement.

8. Nothing has come to such counsel’s attention that has caused it to conclude that the issuance of the Placement Shares will be subject to any contractual preemptive or similar rights.

9. Such counsel’s Designated Transaction Lawyers do not have actual knowledge that any provision in any Court Order (as defined below) would be breached or otherwise violated by the Adviser’s execution or delivery of the Sales Agreement or its performance of its obligations under the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement. For purposes of this opinion letter, the term “Court Order” means a court or administrative order, writ, judgment or decree that names the Adviser and is specifically directed to the Adviser or its property. For purposes of this opinion letter, such counsel has not undertaken any investigation to identify Court Orders to which the Adviser may be subject, other than to review the responses given in the support certificate attached hereto as Exhibit B and the relevant provisions of the Adviser’s Form ADV filed with the SEC.

10. No further consents, authorizations, approvals or filings by the Adviser are required under any New York state or U.S. federal law, regulation or rule in order to perform its obligations under the Sales Agreement, the Advisory Agreement and the Accounting Agreement.

11. To such counsel’s knowledge, 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 Adviser or its property of a character required to be disclosed in the Registration Statement which is not adequately disclosed in the Prospectus, and there are no agreements, franchises, contracts, indentures, mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases, permits or other instruments that are required to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or to be filed as an exhibit thereto, which is not described or filed as required by the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act.

(ii) the Prospectus, as of its date and as of the Settlement Date, contained or contains an 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 (other than the financial statements and schedules and any other financial or statistical information or calculations contained therein or incorporated therein by reference and other than any exhibits, schedules or appendices included or incorporated by reference therein, as to which such counsel expresses no opinion), or

(iii) as of the effective date, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the portions of the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (other than financial statements and related notes and other financial, statistical and accounting data included therein, as to which to opinion is given) were not responsive in all material respects to the requirements of Form N-2, the Securities Act and the Investment Company Act.

In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely (A) as to matters involving the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York or 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 (B) 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 shall also include any supplements thereto at the Settlement Date.
