AGREEMENT

This Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of the 14th day of February, 2017 by and among First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (the "Fund"), a Massachusetts business trust, First Trust Advisors L.P. (the "Adviser"), an Illinois limited partnership, each of the Fund and the Adviser having its principal place of business at 120 East Liberty Drive, Suite 400, Wheaton, Illinois 60187, and Karpus Management, Inc. (doing business as Karpus Investment Management), a New York corporation having its principal place of business at 183 Sully's Trail, Pittsford, New York 14534, and any present or future entities or accounts it manages or controls or to which it is related (collectively, "Karpus," and with the Fund and the Adviser, each, a "Party," and collectively the "Parties").

WHEREAS, the Adviser 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 various registered closed end management investment companies, including the Fund; and

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

WHEREAS, Karpus, by letter dated November 11, 2016, with such letter filed on November 14, 2016 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Form 13D filing, has announced its intention to submit, at the Fund's 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, a proposal to the Fund's Board of Directors ("Board") that the Board promptly consider authorizing a self tender offer for all outstanding common shares of the Fund at or close to net asset value ("NAV"), and if more than 50% of the Fund's outstanding common shares are tendered, the tender offer should be cancelled and the Board should take the steps necessary to liquidate, merge, or convert the Fund to an open end mutual fund or exchange traded fund (the "Karpus Proposal"); and

WHEREAS, the Fund has entered into a confidentiality and non disclosure agreement with Karpus dated January 23, 2017 regarding confidentiality and other obligations with respect to discussions regarding the Karpus Proposal and possible courses of action that the Fund could undertake to address these issues; and

WHEREAS, the Parties to this Agreement wish to resolve matters concerning the Karpus Proposal for the Fund;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, and without any admission of liability, or inadequacy of claims whatsoever, by any of the Parties, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

First Trust Obligations. The Fund agrees, contingent upon Karpus' mutual acceptance of the terms of this Agreement, to:

- (a) commence a tender offer pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, no later than June 1, 2017, for up to 25% of the then outstanding common shares of the Fund at a price equal to 98% of the NAV of the Fund's common shares as determined as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange on the date the tender offer expires. The tender offer shall expire on or before July 1, 2017; provided that the tender offer may be extended if required by law ("Tender Offer"). The Tender Offer shall require odd lot tenders to be subject to the same proration terms as tenders of 100 shares or more; and

- (b) issue a press release (the "Announcement") with respect to the Tender Offer, such Announcement to announce the action taken by the Board hereunder, which release shall be in the Form attached as Exhibit A and shall be issued no later than 9:30 am Eastern time on the day after the execution of this Agreement.

Karpus Obligations. Karpus agrees as follows:

- (a) The Karpus Proposal for the Fund shall be deemed to have been withdrawn upon the Announcement being made and Karpus shall not submit any other proposals or nominees for the Fund's 2017 annual shareholder meeting;

- (b) Karpus shall tender 100% of its then-owned common shares of the Fund in the Tender Offer;

- (c) With respect to matters presented at the annual shareholder meetings or at any special meeting of shareholders of the Fund and of any other investment company advised by the Adviser other than First Trust Enhanced Equity Income Fund (each, a "First Trust Fund" and collectively with the Fund, the "First Trust Funds") held prior to the Termination Time (as defined below):

- (i) Karpus shall vote, or shall direct to be voted, all shares of any First Trust Fund over which Karpus, its affiliates or persons affiliated with Karpus have discretion or beneficial ownership in accordance with the applicable board of trustees/directors' (or similar body, a "board") recommendations, other than matters relating to a change in a fundamental investment policy of such First Trust Fund, as to which matters Karpus shall vote as it so determines;

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

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

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

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

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

aa. proposing, or making any filing with respect to, any proposals or matters seeking the vote or consent of shareholders, 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 any First Trust Fund, including, without limitation, a merger, tender or exchange offer, open ending, share repurchase or liquidation of any First Trust Fund's assets;

bb. seeking the removal of any member of the board of any First Trust Fund; and

cc. nominating any individuals for election to the board of any First Trust Fund or otherwise seeking appointment to or representation on the board.

- (vii) Karpus shall conform with the following restrictions, with respect to any First Trust Fund:

- aa. Karpus shall refrain from joining, creating or collaborating with any group of unaffiliated third parties concerning any First Trust Fund, other than in accordance with the board's recommendations;

bb. Karpus shall refrain from providing any advice, aid or encouragement that is designed to do indirectly or to urge others, to do things that Karpus has agreed not to do in the Agreement with respect to any First Trust Fund, including, but not limited to:

i. putting forward shareholder proposals or director/trustee nominations;

ii. voting against any matter recommended by the board, other than matters relating to a change in such First Trust Fund's fundamental investment policy, as to which matters Karpus shall vote as it so determines; or

iii. threatening, pursuing or bringing a lawsuit, regulatory action or other proceeding against the board, any First Trust Fund, the Adviser, or any related party;

(d) During the period immediately following the completion of the Tender Offer until the Termination Time (as defined below), Karpus shall not take any action, directly or indirectly, including through the use of any Derivative Securities (as defined below), which would cause Karpus to beneficially own a number of common shares of the Fund in excess of the number of common shares of the Fund that Karpus beneficially owns in the aggregate immediately following the completion of the Tender Offer (such amount to be confirmed in writing by Karpus upon the written request of the Fund), except to the extent common shares are issued by the Fund to all existing shareholders, whether or not any of the foregoing may be acquired or obtained immediately or only after the passage of time or upon the satisfaction of one or more conditions (whether or not within the control of such party) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing) or otherwise and whether or not any of the foregoing would give rise to beneficial ownership (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act ), and whether or not any of the foregoing is acquired or obtained by means of borrowing of securities, operation of any Derivative Security or otherwise. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Derivative Securities" means, with respect to any person, (i) any rights, options or other securities or instruments convertible into or exchangeable for securities, instruments, bank debt or other obligations of such person and (ii) any rights, obligations, agreements, arrangements or understandings (whether or not in writing) that are (or the value of which is) measured by (or by reference to) the price or value of any securities, instruments, bank debt or other obligations of such person, including without limitation any swaps or other derivative arrangements;

(e) Until the Termination Time (as defined below), Karpus agrees to comply with the obligations contained in Section 2(c) above as they may apply to Karpus's conduct with respect to any First Trust Fund generally as well as with respect to matters considered at any annual or special shareholder meeting of any First Trust Fund occurring during such period; and

(f) Karpus shall not purchase or obtain control over any additional securities issued by any First Trust Fund until the earlier of February 15, 2017 or the date on which the Announcement is published. Except as provided in Section 2(d), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Karpus from purchasing shares of any First Trust Fund after that date, provided, however, that all shares held by Karpus will be voted in accordance with Section 2(c)(i) hereof.

First Trust and Karpus Obligations. (a) Subject to Section 3(b), each Party hereto covenants and agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, initiate or cause to be initiated (or encourage or aid in the initiation of) against any other Party hereto or their respective past, present or future Trustees, directors, managers, officers, advisers, attorneys, agents or employees, directly or indirectly, any suit, action, or proceeding of any kind, or participate, directly or indirectly, in any such action, individually, derivatively, as a representative or member of a class, witness or otherwise, under any contract (express or implied), fiduciary duty, common law or equitable doctrine, law, statute, or regulation, federal, state or local that such Party has, claims to have had or otherwise may have in connection with, in any way relating to, arising out of, directly or indirectly from or in consequence of any transactions contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, the Tender Offer or any documents, actions or deliberations relating to the Tender Offer. The covenants herein will be a complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding brought in violation of this Section 3(a). Nothing herein limits the right of any party hereto to bring an action to enforce this Agreement or based on an alleged material breach of this Agreement.

- (b) In the event of a material breach of this Agreement, the covenants set forth in Section 3(a), as applicable, will not be binding on the party not in breach.

5. 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, officers or any of the members of a board. The foregoing shall not apply to any compelled testimony or production of information, either by legal process or subpoena or in connection with a response to a request for information from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Party from whom information is sought.

6. No Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and, except as otherwise provided herein, upon their respective legal successors. No Party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other Party and any such attempted assignment shall be void.

7. Public Statements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement will be filed as an exhibit to an amendment to the Schedule 13D, as amended, relating to the Fund filed by Karpus.

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

9. 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.

Further, upon the breach of this Agreement by the Adviser, or the Fund's failure to perform the agreed upon actions as set forth in Section 1, Karpus' obligations hereunder shall terminate and the Karpus Proposal for the Fund referenced in Section 2(a) shall be deemed to have not been withdrawn and shall be reinstated and valid.

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.

14. 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.
