WHEREAS, LAM is registered as an investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and acts pursuant to investment advisory contracts as the investment adviser to two registered closed end management investment companies, including Lazard World Dividend & Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), a Maryland corporation registered under the 1940 Act; and

WHEREAS, Karpus is deemed to be the beneficial owner of shares of common stock of the Fund by reason of its power to vote and direct the disposition of such shares; and

The joint meeting of the stockholders of the Fund and the stockholders of LGI to vote on the Reorganization is anticipated to be held on or before July 31, 2019, subject to postponement or adjournment as necessary to obtain stockholder approval of the Reorganization.

(i) Karpus shall vote, or shall direct to be voted, all shares of any LAM Fund over which Karpus has discretion or beneficial ownership in accordance with the applicable LAM Fund board of trustees/directors' (or similar body, a "board") recommendations; provided, that with respect to any change in a fundamental investment policy, Karpus shall vote as it so determines;

(ii) Karpus shall not solicit any proxies with respect to proposals submitted or to be submitted to a LAM Fund's stockholders, provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement may be interpreted as prohibiting Karpus from encouraging other stockholders to vote as recommended by the board;

(iii) Karpus shall refrain from granting a proxy with respect to shares of a LAM Fund other than to officers of, or other persons named as proxies by, such LAM Fund;

(iv) Karpus shall refrain from executing any written consent with respect to a LAM Fund's shares other than as may be solicited by such LAM Fund or its board;

(v) Karpus shall refrain from seeking to exercise control or influence over the management or policies of a LAM Fund;

(vi) Karpus shall refrain from, directly or indirectly, with respect to any LAM Fund:

aa. proposing, or making any filing with respect to, any proposals or matters seeking the vote or consent of stockholders, or any proposals or matters for the consideration of the board, including, but not limited to, any form of business combination, restructuring, recapitalization, dissolution or similar transaction involving the LAM Fund, including, without limitation, a merger, tender or exchange offer, open-ending, share repurchase or liquidation of the LAM Fund;

bb. seeking the removal of any member of the LAM Fund's board; and

i. putting forward stockholder proposals or director/trustee nominations for any LAM Fund's board;

ii. voting against any matter recommended by the LAM Fund's board; or

iii. threatening, pursuing or bringing a lawsuit, regulatory action or other proceeding against the LAM Fund's board, the LAM Fund, LAM, or any related party.

(b) Karpus shall not purchase or obtain control over any additional securities issued by the Fund or LGI until 50 days after the consummation of the proposed Reorganization. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Karpus from purchasing shares of any LAM Fund after such date.

3. Responsibility for Representatives. Each Party shall take all measures practicable to prevent its present and future officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and affiliated persons from engaging in conduct otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

4. No Disparagement. For a period from the date hereof through the termination of this Agreement, each Party hereto shall refrain from directly or indirectly disparaging, impugning or taking any action reasonably likely to damage the reputation of any other Party, their affiliates, their representatives, or any of the members of a board.

7. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties agree that each LAM Fund is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and that each LAM Fund is entitled to rely upon, and may enforce, the terms and provisions hereof as if it were a party hereto.

8. Applicable Law. The validity of this Agreement, the construction and enforcement of its terms, and the interpretations of the rights and duties of the Parties shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts-of-law principles.

9. Jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the venue for any action brought under this Agreement shall be the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court sitting in the City and County of New York.

10. Damages; Injunctive Relief. Each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce this Agreement without proof of actual damages, in addition to any other remedies as may be available at law or in equity.

11. Modification. No modification, amendment, supplement to or waiver of this Agreement or of any of its provisions shall be binding upon the Parties hereto unless made in writing and duly signed by all Parties.

12. Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reasons be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision, which being valid, legal and enforceable, comes closest to the economic effect and intent of the Parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions.

13. No Waiver. A waiver or breach of any provision of this Agreement, or a default under this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or a subsequent breach or default of this Agreement. The failure or delay in enforcing compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such term or condition, unless compliance with such term or condition is expressly waived in writing.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means, and each counterpart shall have the effect of an original.

15. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall remain in effect until the earliest of the following:
