      Trust
      will not accept tenders during any period when (a) such transactions, if
      consummated, would (i) result in the delisting of the Trust&#8217;s shares from the
      New York Stock Exchange or (ii) impair the Trust&#8217;s status as a regulated
      investment company under the Code (which would make the Trust a taxable entity,
      causing the Trust&#8217;s income to be taxed at the Trust level in addition to the
      taxation of shareholders who receive distributions from the Trust); (b) there
      is
      any (i) legal or regulatory action or proceeding instituted or threatened
      challenging such transaction, (ii) suspension of or limitation on prices for
      trading securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or other national
      securities exchanges, (iii) declaration of a banking moratorium by federal
      or
      state authorities or any suspension of payment by banks in the United States
      or
      New York State, (iv) limitation affecting the Trust imposed by federal or state
      authorities on the extension of credit by lending institutions, or (v) outbreak
      or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national
      emergency or war, or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial
      markets is such as to make it, in the good faith judgment of the board of
      trustees of the Trust, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offer;
      (c)
      the board of trustees of the Trust determines in good faith that effecting
      any
      such transaction would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duty owed to the
      Trust or its shareholders, or (d) that the Leverage Proposal fails to receive
      the requisite votes at the Trust&#8217;s November 1 annual meeting.</font></div>
