| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Karpus Management, Inc., d/b/a Karpus Investment Management ("Karpus"), is a registered investment adviser to certain accounts that directly own securities of the issuer (the "Account Shares"). In such capacity, Karpus has votingand dispositive power over the Account Shares. As a result, Karpus may be deemed to beneficially own more than 10% of the issuer's outstanding shares of common stock for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). However, Karpus has no pecuniary interest in the Account Shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, no securities of the issuer are reported on this Form 3 as beingbeneficially owned by Karpus. |
| 2. Karpus expressly disclaims any pecuniary interest in, and any beneficial ownership of, the Account Shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and neither the filing of this statement nor any of its contents shall bedeemed to be an admission by Karpus that it beneficially owns any securities of the issuer for any purpose. |
