guarantee that a Fund will be able to replace all or a portion of
the leverage currently obtained through tendered ARPS with leverage
at comparable costs and other terms, or will elect to do so, and
any replacement leverage may be at a higher interest rate and/or
may result in higher costs to the Fund’s common shareholders.
