Certain agreements between the Issuer and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPF&S"), as remarketing agent for the VRDP Shares are documented in the VRDP Shares Remarking Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2011, as amended by that certain (i) Amendment to VRDP Shares Remarketing Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2014, and (ii) Amendment to the VRDP Shares Remarketing Agreement, dated as of February 12, 2020, between the Issuer and MLPF&S." Additionally, Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof: "Effective as of February 12, 2020, the Scheduled Termination Date of the VRDP Shares Purchase Agreement and the VRDP Shares Fee Agreement has been extended to April 30, 2021." |
