WHEREAS, the Issuer and the Purchasers entered into that certain VMTP Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, in accordance with Article VII, Section 7.4 of the Purchase Agreement the parties hereto wish to amend the Purchase Agreement as set forth herein.

2.           Article IV, Section 4.11 is hereby amended by deleting the third (3rd) paragraph of such Section in its entirety.

3.           Article VI, Section 6.12 is hereby amended by replacing the first (1st) paragraph of such Section in its entirety with the following:

“For so long as the Issuer fails to provide the information required under Sections 6.1(o) and 6.1(p), BAPFC, so long as BAPFC holds VMTP Shares, and otherwise, Blue Ridge, so long as Blue Ridge holds VMTP Shares, shall calculate, for purposes of Section 2.5(b)(ii)(A)(y) of the Statement, the Effective Leverage Ratio using the most recently received information required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(o) and 6.1(p) and the market values of securities determined by the third-party pricing service which provided the market values to the Issuer on the most recent date that information was properly provided by the Issuer pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.1(o) and 6.1(p).  The Effective Leverage Ratio as calculated by BAPFC or Blue Ridge, as appropriate, in such instances shall be binding on the Issuer.  If required, the Issuer shall restore the Effective Leverage Ratio as provided in the Statement.”
 
4.           This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic law of the State of New York.
