In the case of Shares sold for securities, such securities shall be valued in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees for determining the value of the assets of the Trust. The officers of the Trust are severally authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to carry out this Section 9.1.

9.2 Share Certificates. In lieu of issuing certificates for Shares, the Trustees or the transfer agent may either issue receipts therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the Trust for the record holders of such Shares, who shall in either case be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders of certificates for such Shares as if they had accepted such certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and agreed to the terms hereof.

The Trustees may at any time authorize the issuance of Share certificates. In that event, each Shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate stating the number of Shares owned by him or her, in such form as shall be prescribed from time to time by the Trustees. Such certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer. Such signatures may be facsimile if the certificate is signed by a transfer agent or by a registrar. In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall cease to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Trust with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the time of its issue.

9.3 Loss of Certificates. The transfer agent of the Trust, with the approval of any two officers of the Trust, is authorized to issue and countersign replacement certificates for the Shares of the Trust which have been lost, stolen or destroyed upon (i) receipt of an affidavit or affidavits of loss or non-receipt and of an indemnity agreement executed by the registered holder or his or her legal representative and supported by an open penalty surety bond, said agreement and said bond in all cases to be in form and content satisfactory to and approved by the President or the Treasurer, or (ii) receipt of such other documents as may be approved by the Trustees.

Such new certificate shall express on its face that it is held as collateral security, and the name of the pledgor shall be stated thereon, who alone shall be liable as a Shareholder and entitled to vote thereon.

9.5 Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates. The Trustees may at any time discontinue the issuance of Share certificates and may, by written notice to each Shareholder whom the Trust believes to hold a Share certificate, require the surrender of Share certificates to the Trust for cancellation. Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership of Shares in the Trust.

ARTICLE 10

Shareholders

10.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the Shareholders of the Trust shall be held on the last Friday in April in each year or on such other day as may be fixed by the Trustees. The meeting shall be held at such time as the Trustees may fix in the notice of the meeting or otherwise. Purposes for which an annual meeting is to be held, additional to those prescribed by law or these Bylaws, may be specified by the Trustees. Any previously scheduled annual meeting of Shareholders may be postponed or cancelled by the Trustees upon public notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for such meeting, in accordance with these Bylaws.

10.2 Adjournment. Any meeting of Shareholders may, by action of the chair of the meeting, be adjourned from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken with respect to one or more matters to be considered at such meeting to a designated date which may be more than 120 days after the date initially set for the meeting, time and place, whether or not a quorum is present with respect to such matter. Upon motion of the chair of the meeting, the question of adjournment may be (but is not required by these Bylaws to be) submitted to a vote of the Shareholders, and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of the Shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the matter or matters adjourned and, if approved, such adjournment shall take place without further notice other than announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. Unless a proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any Shares present and entitled to vote at a meeting, including any Shares that are represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment. Any proposal for which sufficient favorable votes have been received may (but need not) be acted upon and considered final and effective regardless of whether the meeting is adjourned to permit additional solicitation with respect to any other proposal that is properly before the meeting.

10.3 Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of the Shareholders shall be presided over by the Chair of the Trustees, or, if the Chair is not present at the meeting, then by a Trustee or officer designated by the Chair or authorized by the Trustees, or if there is no such person present at the meeting, then by any officer of the Trust present at the meeting, and such person shall be deemed for all purposes the chair of the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing: an agenda or order of business for the meeting; rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present;

conditions on the recording of the meeting; limitations on participation in such meeting to Shareholders of record of the Trust and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and such other persons as the chair shall permit; restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants; conditions for the removal of any Shareholder or any other person who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the chair of the meeting; and regulations for the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. With the exception of proposals submitted in accordance with, and otherwise meeting the requirements of, Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor provisions, only matters proposed by the Trustees may be included in the Trust’s proxy materials. At all meetings of Shareholders, unless voting is conducted by inspectors, all questions relating to the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided by the chair of the meeting. The chair of the meeting shall determine, in the chair’s sole discretion, whether to appoint an inspector for any meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting, meetings shall not be required to be held in accordance with any rules of parliamentary procedure.

10.4 Record Dates. For the purpose of determining the Shareholders of any class or series of Shares of the Trust who are entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment thereof, or who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend or of any other distribution, the Trustees (or their designees) may from time to time fix a time, which shall be not more than 90 days before the date of any meeting of Shareholders or more than 60 days before the date of payment of any dividend or of any other distribution, as the record date for determining the Shareholders of such class or series having the right to notice of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof or the right to receive such dividend or distribution, and in such case only Shareholders of record on such record date shall have such right notwithstanding any transfer of Shares on the books of the Trust after the record date; or without fixing such record date the Trustees may for any such purposes close the register or transfer books for all or part of such period.

The Trustees may, but, unless otherwise required by law, are not required to, fix a new record date for a meeting of Shareholders, including any postponed or adjourned session of such meeting. If, after a postponement or adjournment, a new record date is fixed for the postponed or adjourned meeting, notice of the postponed or adjourned meeting shall be given to Shareholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

10.5 Communications with Shareholders. Any notices, reports, statements or other communications with Shareholders of any kind required under the Declaration of Trust, these Bylaws or applicable law may be sent, delivered or made available in any reasonable manner as may be determined by the Trustees or officers if not otherwise prohibited by applicable law, including, without limitation, by mail, courier, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means or by posting on a website; and such communications may be sent, delivered or otherwise made available to Shareholders in accordance with householding or other similar rules under which a single copy of such notice or report

may be sent to Shareholders who reside at the same address. No communication need be given to any Shareholder who shall have failed to inform the Trust of the Shareholder’s current address and the Trustees may from time to time adopt, or may authorize the officers or agents of the Trust to adopt, procedures or policies with respect to communications to Shareholders that are returned to the Trust or its agents as undeliverable and similar matters. Any Shareholder may waive receipt of any notice or other communication.

10.6 Proxies. The placing of a Shareholder’s name on a proxy pursuant to telephone or electronically transmitted instructions (including instructions submitted via the Internet) obtained pursuant to procedures reasonably designed to verify that such instructions have been authorized by such Shareholder shall constitute execution of such proxy by or on behalf of such Shareholder. Unless otherwise specifically limited by their terms, proxies shall entitle the Shareholder to vote at the relevant meeting of Shareholders and at any postponed or adjourned session of such meeting. Unless revoked, any proxy given in connection with a postponed or adjourned meeting for which a new record date is fixed shall continue to be valid so long as the Shareholder giving such proxy is a Shareholder of record on such new record date.

The Trustees shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent, at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations any of the accounts and books of the Trust shall be open to the inspection of the Shareholders, and no Shareholder shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Trust except as conferred by law or otherwise by the Trustees or by these Bylaws.

If a share of RP is tendered (or deemed tendered) and purchased in a Remarketing, the next Dividend Period for such share shall be a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series c shares of RP) or a Special Dividend Period with respect to such share, as the case may be, at the Applicable Dividend Rate therefor, except that, if the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket in such Remarketing all shares of RP tendered (or deemed tendered) to them at a price of $100,000 per share, no purchaser in such Remarketing shall be permitted to acquire shares having a Special Dividend Period and the next Dividend Period for such share shall be a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series C shares of RP) and the Applicable Dividend Rate therefor shall be the applicable Maximum Dividend Rate.

(j) The Board of Trustees may at any time designate a subsequent Dividend Period as a Special Dividend Period with such number of days as the Board of Trustees shall specify; provided that (i) such number of days to be specified as a Special Dividend Period shall be a multiple of 28 (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or a multiple of 7 (in the case of Series C shares of RP) and the number of days so specified must be such that the starting date and the ending date for a Special Dividend Period or any subsequent Dividend Periods for a Series shall not be the same as the starting date and the ending date for any other Dividend Periods for any other Series; (ii) written notice of any such designation, of the Maximum Dividend Rate, and Specified Redemption Provisions, if any, in respect thereof and of the consequences of failure to tender or to elect to hold shares, must be given at least seven days prior to such Tender Date to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, the Securities Depository and the Beneficial Owners of shares of RP which are to be subject to such Special Dividend Period; (iii) no Special Dividend Period may commence for any share of RP during a Non-Payment Period or if the Trust fails to maintain either the RP Basic Maintenance Amount or the 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage and such failure is not cured; (iv) if such Special Dividend Period contains 365 or more days, the shares of RP subject to such Special Dividend Period shall have an aggregate liquidation preference (exclusive of accumulated but unpaid dividends and premium, if any) of at least $30,000,000 or such greater or lesser amount as may be specified by the Board of Trustees; (v) in respect of any Special Dividend Period, the Board of Trustees shall also determine a Maximum Dividend Rate after consultation with Remarketing Agents, which rate, as determined from time to time by formula or other means, may be fixed or variable; and (vi) in respect of any Special Dividend Period of 365 or more days, the Board of Trustees, after consultation with the Remarketing Agents, may establish Specific Redemption Provisions.

On or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the designation of a Special Dividend Period, the Trust shall complete and deliver to S&P, on a pro forma basis, an RP Basic Maintenance Report for such proposed Special Dividend Period, taking into account the proposed number of days to be specified as a Special Dividend Period and the proposed Maximum Dividend Rate to be determined with respect to such Special Dividend Period.

The existence or rescission of any Special Dividend Period shall not affect any current Dividend Period or prevent the Board of Trustees from establishing other Special Dividend Periods of similar duration or in any way restrict the Maximum Dividend Rate or Specific Redemption Provisions which may be designated in connection with any other Special Dividend Period.

If the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket sufficient shares of RP at the commencement of a Special Dividend Period to satisfy the requirement described in clause (iv) of the preceding paragraph, then the Dividend Period in respect of any share of RP which otherwise would have been subject to such Special Dividend Period shall be a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series C shares of RP) and an Applicable Dividend Rate shall be set by the Remarketing Agents in accordance with the remarketing procedures.

(k) If all or any part of the dividends on the shares of RP determined by implementation of the remarketing procedures described in Part II hereof is not designated by the Trust in good faith as an exempt-interest dividend within the meaning of Section 852(b)(5) of the Code solely because the Trust allocates capital gains or ordinary income to the shares of RP, (such portion of the dividends on the shares of RP (other than any Gross-up Dividends) that is not so designated is

referred to herein as a "Nonqualifying Distribution"), the Trust will, not later than 270 days after the end of the Trust's fiscal year for which such designation is made, provide notice thereof to the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent will mail a copy of such notice to each Qualified Investor (as defined below) at the address specified in such Qualified Investor's Master Purchaser's Letter as promptly as practicable after its receipt of such notice from the Trust. The Trust will, within 30 days after such notice is given to the Paying Agent, pay to the Paying Agent (who will then distribute to the Qualified Investors) , out of funds legally available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate Gross-up Dividends (as defined below) with respect to all Nonqualifying Distributions made to Qualified Investors during the fiscal year in question. A "Qualified Investor" is a Beneficial Owner during such fiscal year of a share or shares of RP to whom Nonqualifying Distributions were made during such fiscal year.

A "Gross-up Dividend" means payment to a Qualified Investor of an amount which, when taken together with the aggregate Nonqualifying Distributions paid to such Qualified Investor during the fiscal year in question, would cause such Qualified Investor's net yield in dollars for such fiscal year (after Federal income tax consequences) from the aggregate of both the Nonqualifying Distributions (determined without regard to the Gross-Up Dividend) and the Gross-up Dividend to be equal to the net yield in dollars for such fiscal year (after Federal income tax consequences) which would have been received by such Qualified Investor if the amount of the aggregate Nonqualifying Distributions had been so designated. Such Gross-up Dividend shall be calculated (i) without consideration being given to the time value of money; (ii) assuming that no Qualified Investor is subject to the alternative minimum tax with respect to dividends received from the Trust; and (iii) assuming that each Nonqualifying Distribution and Gross-Up Dividend (to the extent that such Gross-up Dividend is not exempt from Federal income tax) would be taxable in the hands of each Qualified Investor at the maximum marginal corporate Federal income tax rate in effect during the fiscal year in question.

All such designations made by the Trust in good faith following the end of each fiscal year of the Trust and all other determinations made by the Trust in good faith with respect to dividends on the shares of RP shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes of determining the amount of Gross-up Dividends required to be made under this paragraph 3(k). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Gross-up Dividends shall be required to be made under this paragraph 3(k) if dividends on the shares of RP are not excludable from the gross income of a Qualified Investor for any reason other than as specifically provided above or if for any reason the Trust is subsequently required to revise any such designations.

4. Redemption. Shares of RP shall be redeemable by the Trust as provided below:

(a) To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and Massachusetts law, upon giving a Notice of Redemption, the Trust at its option may redeem shares of RP, in whole or in part, on the next succeeding scheduled Dividend Payment Date applicable to those shares of RP called for redemption, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to $100,000 per share plus an amount equal to dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated but unpaid to the date fixed for redemption plus the premium, if any, resulting from the designation of a Premium Call Period; provided that, no share of RP shall be subject to redemption pursuant to this paragraph 4(a) on any Dividend Payment Date during a Non-Call Period to which it is subject. The Trust may not give a Notice of Redemption relating to an optional redemption as described in paragraph 4(a) unless, at the time of giving such Notice of Redemption, the Trust has available

Deposit Securities with maturity or tender dates not later than the day preceding the applicable redemption date and having a Discounted Value not less than the amount due to Beneficial Owners by reason of the redemption of their shares of RP on such redemption date.

(b) The Trust shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price of $100,000 per share plus accumulated but unpaid dividends (whether or not earned or declared) to the date fixed by the Board of Trustees for redemption plus the premium, if any, resulting from the designation of a Premium Call Period, certain of the shares of RP to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act and Massachusetts law, if the Trust fails to maintain the RP Basic Maintenance Amount or the 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage and such failure is not cured on or before the RP Basic Maintenance Cure Date or the 1940 Act Cure Date (herein referred to respectively as the "Cure Date"), as the case may be. The number of shares of RP to be redeemed shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the minimum number of shares of RP the redemption of which, if deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the opening of business on the Cure Date, together with all other Preferred Shares subject to redemption or retirement, would result in the satisfaction of the RP Basic Maintenance Amount or the 1940 Act Asset Coverage, as the case may be, on such Cure Date (provided that, if there is no such minimum number of shares of RP and other Preferred Shares the redemption of which would have such result, all shares of RP then outstanding shall be redeemed), and (ii) the maximum number of shares of RP, together with all other Preferred Shares subject to redemption or retirement that can be redeemed out of funds expected to be legally available therefor. In determining the number of shares of RP required to be redeemed in accordance with the foregoing, the Trust shall allocate the number required to be redeemed to satisfy the RP Basic Maintenance Amount or the 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage, as the case may be, pro rata among shares of RP, Other RP and other Preferred Shares subject to redemption provisions similar to those contained in this paragraph 4(b), except as set forth in Section 12.2 of these By-laws. The Trust shall effect such redemption not later than 45 days after such Cure Date, except that if the Trust does not have funds legally available for the redemption of all of the required number of shares of RP and other Preferred Shares which are subject to mandatory redemption or the Trust otherwise is unable to effect such redemption on or prior to 45 days after such Cure Date, the Trust shall redeem those shares of RP and other Preferred Shares which it was unable to redeem on the earliest practicable date on which it is able to effect such redemption.

Any share of RP shall be subject to mandatory redemption regardless of whether such share is subject to a Non-Call Period provided that shares of RP subject to a Non-Call Period will only be subject to redemption to the extent that the other shares of RP are not available to satisfy the number of shares required to be redeemed. In such event, such shares subject to a Non-Call Period will be selected for redemption in an ascending order of outstanding Non-Call Period (with shares with the lowest number of days remaining in the period to be called first) and by lot in the event of equal outstanding Non-Call Periods.

determine by lot the number of shares of RP to be redeemed from the account of each Agent Member (which may include an Agent Member, including a Remarketing Agent, holding shares for its own account) and notify the Paying Agent of such determination. The Paying Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall in turn determine by lot the number of shares of RP to be redeemed from the accounts of the Beneficial Owners of the shares of RP whose Agent Members have been selected by the Securities Depository and give notice of such determination to the Remarketing Agents. In doing so, the Paying Agent may determine that shares of RP shall be redeemed from the accounts of some Beneficial Owners, which may include the Remarketing Agents, without shares of RP being redeemed from the accounts of other Beneficial Owners.

(d) Notwithstanding paragraph 4(c) of this Part I, if any certificates representing shares of RP are held by Holders other than the Securities Depository or its nominee, then the shares of RP to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trust by lot.

(e) Any Notice of Redemption with respect to shares of RP shall be given (A) in the case of a redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(a) of this Part I, by the Trust to the Paying Agent, the Securities Depository (and any other Holder) and the Remarketing Agents by telephone, not later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time (and later confirmed in writing) on (i) the Settlement Date in the case of a partial redemption of the shares of RP, (ii) the Tender Date in the case of a redemption in whole of the shares of RP or (iii) during a Non-Payment Period, the later of the Dividend Payment Date or the seventh day prior to the earliest date upon which any such redemption may occur and (B) in the case of a mandatory redemption pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of this Part I, by the Trust to the Paying Agent, the Securities Depository (and any Holder) and the Remarketing Agents, by telephone, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time (and later confirmed in writing) on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date established by the Board of Trustees and specified in such notice. In the case of a partial redemption of the shares of RP, the Paying Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to provide telephonic notice to each Beneficial Owner of shares of RP called for redemption not later than the close of business on the Business Day on which the Paying Agent determines the shares to be redeemed, as described in paragraph 4(c) of this Part I (or, if certificates are held by persons other than the Securities Depository, not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Paying Agent receives a Notice of Redemption from the Trust). Such telephonic notice shall be confirmed in writing to the Remarketing Agents, the Securities Depository and to each Beneficial Owner of shares of RP called for redemption not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Paying Agent determines the shares to be redeemed. In the case of a redemption in whole of the shares of RP, the Paying Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to provide telephonic notice to each Beneficial Owner of shares of RP called for redemption not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately following the day on which it receives a Notice of Redemption from the Trust. Such telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly in writing to each Beneficial Owner of shares of RP called for redemption, the Remarketing Agents and the Securities Depository not later than the close of business on the second Business Day following the day on which the Paying Agent receives a Notice of Redemption.

redeemed. In addition, notice of redemption given to a Beneficial Owner shall state the CUSIP number, if any, of the shares of RP to be redeemed and the manner in which the Beneficial Owners of such shares may-obtain payment of the redemption price. No defect in the Notice of Redemption or other redemption notice or in the transmittal or the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings, except as required by applicable law. The Paying Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the publication of a redemption notice in an Authorized Newspaper within two Business Days of the date of the Notice of Redemption, but failure so to publish such notification shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such redemption proceedings. Shares of RP the Beneficial Owners of which shall have been given Notice of Redemption shall not be subject to transfer outside of a Remarketing.

(g) On any redemption date, the Trust shall deposit, irrevocably in trust, in same-day funds, with the Paying Agent, by 12:00 noon, New York City time, $100,000 for each share of RP called for redemption plus an amount equal to dividends thereon accumulated but unpaid to such redemption date (whether or not earned or declared) plus the premium, if any, resulting from the designation of a Premium Call Period.

(h) In connection with any redemption, upon the giving of a Notice of Redemption and the deposit of the funds necessary for such redemption with the Paying Agent in accordance with this paragraph 4, all rights of the Holders and Beneficial Owners of shares of RP so called for redemption shall cease and terminate, except the right of the Holders and Beneficial Owners thereof to receive the redemption price thereof, inclusive of an amount equal to dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accumulated but unpaid to the redemption date plus the premium, if any, resulting from the designation of a Premium Call Period, but without any interest or other additional amount (except as provided in paragraphs 3(h) and 3(k) of this Part I), and such shares shall no longer be deemed outstanding for any purpose. The Trust shall be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent, promptly after the date fixed for redemption, any cash deposited with the Paying Agent as aforesaid in excess of the sum of (i) the aggregate redemption price of the shares of RP called for redemption on such date and (ii) all other amounts to which Holders and Beneficial Owners of shares of RP called for redemption may be entitled. The Trust shall be entitled to receive, from time to time after the date fixed for redemption, any interest on the funds so deposited. Any funds so deposited with the Paying Agent which are unclaimed at the end of ninety days from such redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid to the Trust, after which time the Holders and Beneficial Owners of shares of RP so called for redemption shall look only to the Trust for payment of the redemption price and all other amounts to which they may be entitled. If any such unclaimed funds are repaid to the Trust, the Trust shall invest such unclaimed funds in Deposit Securities with a maturity of no more than one business day.

(i) To the extent that any redemption for which Notice of Redemption has been given is not made by reason of the absence of legally available funds therefor, such redemption shall be made as soon as practicable to the extent such funds become available. Failure to redeem shares of RP shall be deemed to exist at any time after the date specified for redemption in a Notice of Redemption when the Trust shall have failed, for any reason whatsoever, to deposit funds with the Paying Agent pursuant to paragraph 4 (g) of this Part I with respect to any shares for which such Notice of Redemption has been given. Notwithstanding the fact that the Trust may not have redeemed shares of RP for which a Notice of Redemption has been given, dividends may be declared and paid on shares of RP and shall include those shares of RP for which a Notice of Redemption has been given.

(j) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 4, the Remarketing Agents may, in their sole discretion, modify the procedures set forth above with respect to notification of redemption, provided that, any such modification does not adversely affect any Holder or any Beneficial Owner of shares of RP or materially alter the obligations of the Paying Agent; and further provided that, the Trust receives written confirmation from S&P that any such modification would not impair the ratings then assigned by S&P to shares of RP.

(k) In effecting any redemption pursuant to this paragraph 4, the Trust shall use all reasonable efforts to satisfy all applicable procedural conditions precedent to effecting such redemption under the 1940 Act and Massachusetts law.

(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no share of RP may be redeemed pursuant to paragraph 4(a) of this Part I unless the full amount of accumulated but unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption for each such share of RP called for redemption shall have been declared, and (ii) no share of RP may be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of RP are simultaneously redeemed, nor may any shares of RP be purchased or otherwise acquired by the Trust except in accordance with a purchase offer made on substantially equivalent terms by the Trust for all outstanding shares of RP, unless, in each such instance, dividends on all outstanding shares of RP through the end of their most recently ended Dividend Period (or, if such transaction is on a Dividend Payment Date, through the Dividend Period ending on the day prior to such Dividend Payment Date) shall have been paid or declared and sufficient funds for the payment thereof deposited with the Paying Agent.

(m) Except as set forth in this paragraph 4 with respect to redemptions and subject to paragraph 4(l) hereof, nothing contained herein shall limit any legal right of the Trust or any affiliate to purchase or otherwise acquire any share of RP at any price. Any shares of RP which have been redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Trust or any affiliate thereof may be resold. In lieu of redeeming shares called for redemption, the Trust shall have the right to arrange for other purchasers to purchase from Beneficial Owners all shares of RP to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph 4, except those shares of RP to be redeemed pursuant to paragraph 4(b) hereof, by their paying to such Beneficial Owners on or before the close of business on the redemption date an amount equal to not less than the redemption price payable by the Trust on the redemption of such shares, and the obligation of the Trust to pay such redemption price shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so made by such purchasers. Prior to the purchase of such shares by such purchasers, the Trust shall notify each purchaser that such shares have been called for redemption.

5. Liquidation. (a) Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Trust, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders shall be entitled, whether from capital or surplus, before any assets of the Trust shall be distributed among or paid over to holders of Common Shares or any other class or series of shares of the Trust ranking junior to the RP as to liquidation payments, to be paid the amount of $100,000 per share of RP, plus an amount equal to all accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not earned or declared) plus the premium, if any, resulting from the designation of a Premium Call Period to but excluding the date of final distribution in same-day funds. After any such payment, the Holders and Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets of the Trust.

(including the Other RP), then such assets shall be distributed among the Holders and such parity holders ratably in accordance with the respective amounts which would be payable on such shares of RP and any other such Preferred Shares if all amounts thereof were paid in full.

(c) Neither the consolidation nor the merger of the Trust with or into any corporation or corporations nor a reorganization of the Trust alone nor the sale, lease or transfer by the Trust of all or substantially all of its assets shall be deemed to be a dissolution or liquidation of the Trust.

6. Voting Rights. (a) General. Except as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust or By-laws, each Holder of shares of RP and each record holder of Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote for each share held on each matter submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Trust, and the holders of outstanding Preferred Shares, including RP, and of Common Shares shall vote together as a single class; provided that, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Trust held for the election of trustees, the holders of Preferred Shares, including RP, represented in person or by proxy at said meeting, shall be entitled, as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital shares of the Trust, to elect two trustees of the Trust, each Preferred Share, including RP, entitling the holder thereof to one vote. Subject to paragraph 6(b) hereof, the holders of outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares, including RP, voting as a single class, shall elect the balance of the trustees.

(b) Right to Elect Majority of Board of Trustees. During any period in which any one or more of the conditions described below shall exist (such period being referred to herein as a "Voting Period"), the number of trustees constituting the Board of Trustees shall be automatically increased by the smallest number that, when added to the two trustees elected exclusively by the holders of Preferred Shares, would constitute a majority of the Board of Trustees as so increased by such smallest number; and the holders of Preferred Shares shall be entitled, voting as a class on a one-vote-per-share basis (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital shares of the Trust), to elect such smallest number of additional trustees, together with the two trustees that such holders are in any event entitled to elect. A Voting Period shall commence: (i) if at the close of business on any Dividend Payment Date accumulated dividends (whether or not earned or declared, and whether or not funds are then legally available in an amount sufficient therefor) on the outstanding shares of RP equal to at least two full years' dividends shall be due and unpaid and sufficient cash or specified securities shall not have been deposited with the Paying Agent for the payment of such accumulated dividends; or (ii) if at any time holders of any other Preferred Shares are entitled to elect a majority of the trustees of the Trust. Upon the termination of a Voting Period, the voting rights described in this paragraph 6(b) shall cease, subject always, however, to the revesting of such voting rights in the Holders upon the further occurrence of any of the events described in this paragraph 6(b).

which pursuant to Section 18(a)(2)(D) of the 1940 Act requires approval by the Holders of a majority of the shares of RP outstanding at the time; provided that, the issuance of not more than the 4,000 Preferred Shares presently authorized by this Section 12.1 and the creation and issuance of the Serial RP, and of series of Preferred Shares ranking junior to the RP with respect to payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation, will not be deemed to affect such preferences, rights or powers unless such issuance would at the time thereof, cause the Trust not to satisfy the 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage or the RP Basic Maintenance Amount. To the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, the Trust shall not take any action (including but not limited to those set forth above in clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph 6(c)) which may adversely affect the rights of a Holder of shares of a series of RP differently than a Holder of shares of another series of RP without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of RP of such potentially affected series outstanding at the time, in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class). To the extent that such an action may affect the rights of Holders of shares of series of RP in a substantially similar manner, the Holders of shares of such series shall vote together as one class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as any shares of RP are outstanding, the Trust shall not take any action described in Sections 4, 5 or 6 of Article IX of the Declaration of Trust or amend the provisions of Section 1 of Article IV, Sections 4, 5 or 6 of Article IX or the first sentence of Section 9 of Article IX of the Declaration of Trust, without the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least two-thirds (or a majority if permitted by Sections 4, 5 or 6 of Article IX of the Declaration of Trust) of the shares of RP and of two-thirds (or a majority if permitted by Sections 4, 5 or 6 of Article IX of the Declaration of Trust) of the Common Shares outstanding at the time, in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (each voting separately as a class).

The Board of Trustees may without the vote or consent of the Holders of RP from time to time amend, alter or repeal any or all of the definitions of the terms listed below, and any such amendment, alteration or repeal will not be deemed to affect the preferences, rights or powers of shares of RP or the Holders thereof, provided the Board of Trustees receives written confirmation from Moody's and S&P that any such amendment, alteration or repeal would not impair the ratings then assigned by Moody's and S&P to shares of RP:

(d) Voting Procedures. (i) As soon as practicable after the accrual of any right of the holders of shares of Preferred Shares to elect additional trustees as described in paragraph 6(b) above, the Trust shall notify the Paying Agent and the Paying Agent shall call a special meeting of such holders, by mailing a notice of such special meeting to such holders, such meeting to be held not less than 10 nor more than 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice. If the Trust fails to send such notice to the Paying Agent or if the Paying Agent does not call such a special meeting, it may be called by any such holder on like notice. The record date for determining the holders entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting shall be the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such special meeting and at each meeting held during a Voting Period, such holders, voting together as a class (to the exclusion of the holders of all other securities and classes of capital shares of the Trust), shall be entitled to elect the number of trustees prescribed in paragraph 6 (b) above on a one-vote-per-share basis. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, a majority of such holders present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting without notice, other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present.

(ii) For purposes of determining any rights of the Holders to vote on any matter whether such right is created by this Section 12.2, by the other provisions of the Declaration of Trust and the By-laws, by statute or otherwise, no Holder shall be entitled to vote and no share of RP shall be deemed to be "outstanding" for the purpose of voting or determining the number of shares required to constitute a quorum if, prior to or concurrently with the time of determination of shares entitled to vote or shares deemed outstanding for quorum purposes, as the case may be, sufficient funds for the redemption of such shares have been deposited in trust with the Paying Agent for that purpose and the requisite Notice of Redemption with respect to such shares shall have been given as provided in paragraph 4 of this Part I. No share of RP held by the Trust or any affiliate of the Trust shall have any voting rights or be deemed to be outstanding for voting purposes.

(iii) The terms of office of all persons who are trustees of the Trust at the time of a special meeting of Holders and holders of other Preferred Shares to elect trustees shall continue, notwithstanding the election at such meeting by the Holders and such other holders of the number of trustees that they are entitled to elect, and the persons so elected by the Holders and such other holders, together with the two incumbent trustees elected by the Holders and such other holders of Preferred Shares and the remaining incumbent trustees elected by the holders of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares, shall constitute the duly elected trustees of the Trust.

(iv) Simultaneously with the expiration of a Voting Period, the terms of office of the additional trustees elected by the Holders and holders of other Preferred Shares pursuant to paragraph 6(b) above shall terminate, the remaining trustees shall constitute the trustees of the Trust and the voting rights of the Holders and such other holders to elect additional trustees pursuant to paragraph 6(b) above shall cease, subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 6(b)(ii).

of RP shall have no preemptive rights or rights to cumulative voting. In the event that the Trust fails to pay any dividends on the shares of RP, the exclusive remedy of the Holders shall be the right to vote for trustees pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph 6. In no event shall the Holders of shares of RP have any right to sue for, or bring a proceeding with respect to, such dividends or redemptions or damages for the failure to receive the same.

(f) Notification to S&P. In the event a vote of Holders of RP is required pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(a) of the 1940 Act, the Trust shall, not later than ten business days prior to the date on which such vote is to be taken, notify S&P that such vote is to be taken and the nature of the action with respect to which such vote is to be taken.

7. 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage. The Trust shall maintain, as of the last Business Day of each month in which any share of RP is outstanding, the 1940 Act RP Asset Coverage.

8. RP Basic Maintenance Amount. (a) The Trust shall maintain, on each Valuation Date, and shall verify to its satisfaction that it is maintaining on such Valuation Date,

(i) S&P Eligible Assets having an aggregate Discounted Value equal to or greater than the RP Basic Maintenance Amount and

(ii) Moody's Eligible Assets having an aggregate Discounted Value equal to or greater than the RP Basic Maintenance Amount. Upon any failure to maintain the required Discounted Value, the Trust will use its best efforts to alter the composition of its portfolio to reattain the RP Basic, Maintenance Amount on or prior to the RP Basic Maintenance Cure Date.

(b) The Trust will deliver an RP Basic Maintenance Report to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, Moody's and S&P as of (i) the fifteenth day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) and (ii) the last Business Day of each month, in each case on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after such day.

(c) On or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day after a Valuation Date on which the Trust fails to satisfy the RP Basic Maintenance Amount, the Trust shall complete and deliver to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, Moody's and S&P an RP Basic Maintenance Report as of the date of such failure.

(d) On or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
third Business Day after a Valuation Date on which the Trust
cures any failure to satisfy the RP Basic Maintenance Amount,
the Trust shall complete and deliver to the Remarketing

Basic Maintenance Report. A failure by the Trust to deliver an RP Basic Maintenance Report under subparagraph (b), (c) or (d) of this paragraph 8 shall be deemed to be delivery of an RP Basic Maintenance Report indicating that the Discounted Value for all assets of the Trust is less than the RP Basic Maintenance Amount, as of the relevant Valuation Date.

(f) Within ten Business Days after the date of delivery to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's of an RP Basic Maintenance Report in accordance with paragraph 8(b) above relating to a Quarterly Valuation Date, the Independent Accountant will confirm in writing to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's (i) the mathematical accuracy of the calculations reflected in such Report (and in any other RP Basic Maintenance Report, randomly selected by the Independent Accountant, that was delivered by the Trust during the quarter ending on such Quarterly Valuation Date); (ii) that, in such Report (and in such randomly selected Report), (a) the Trust determined in accordance with this Section 12.1 whether the Trust had, at such Quarterly Valuation Date (and at the Valuation Date addressed in such randomly selected Report), S&P Eligible Assets of an aggregate Discounted Value at least equal to the RP Basic Maintenance Amount and Moody's Eligible Assets of an aggregate Discounted Value at least equal to the RP Basic Maintenance Amount, (b) the aggregate amount of Deposit Securities equals the Dividend Coverage Amount, and (c) the Market Value of portfolio securities as determined by the Pricing Service equals the mean between the quoted bid and asked price or the yield equivalent (when quotations are readily available); and (iii) the accuracy of the description of Eligible Assets as stated in the RP Basic Maintenance Report (such confirmation is herein called the "Accountant's Confirmation").

(g) Within ten Business Days after the date of delivery to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's of an RP Basic Maintenance Report in accordance with paragraph 8(c) above relating to any Valuation Date on which the Trust failed to satisfy the RP Basic Maintenance Amount, the Independent Accountant will provide to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's an Accountant's Confirmation as to such RP Basic Maintenance Report.

(h) Within ten Business Days after the date of delivery to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's of an RP Basic Maintenance Report in accordance with paragraph 8(d) above relating to any Valuation Date on which the Trust cured any failure to satisfy the RP Basic Maintenance Amount, the Independent Accountant will provide to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's an Accountant's Confirmation as to such RP Basic Maintenance Report.

(i) If any Accountant's Confirmation delivered pursuant to subparagraph (f), (g) or (h) of this paragraph 8 shows that an error was made in the RP Basic Maintenance Report for a particular Valuation Date for which such Accountant's Confirmation was required to be delivered, or shows that a lower aggregate Discounted Value for the aggregate of all S&P Eligible Assets or Moody's Eligible Assets, as the case may be, of the Trust was determined by the Independent Accountant, the calculation or determination made by such Independent Accountant shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding on the Trust, and the Trust shall accordingly amend and deliver the RP Basic Maintenance Report to the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent, S&P and Moody's promptly following receipt by the Trust of such Accountant's Confirmation.

(j) On or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after the Date of Original Issue of the shares of RP, the Trust will complete and deliver to Moody's and S&P an RP Basic Maintenance Report as of the close of business on such Date of Original Issue. Within five

9. Minimum Liquidity Level. The Trust shall be required to have, as of each Valuation Date, Dividend Coverage Assets with respect to each share of RP having a Discounted Value not less than the Dividend Coverage Amount with respect to such share.

10. Restrictions on Certain Distributions. For so long as any share of RP is outstanding, (A) the Trust shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase, Common Shares or other shares, if any, ranking junior to or on a parity with the shares of RP as to dividends and upon liquidation) in respect of the Common Shares, RP or any other shares of the Trust ranking junior to or on a parity with the shares of RP as to dividends or upon liquidation, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Common Shares or any other such junior shares (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of the Trust ranking junior to the shares of RP as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless (i) full cumulative dividends on shares of RP and Other RP through their most recently ended respective Dividend Periods (or, if such transaction is on a Dividend Payment Date, through the Dividend Period ending on the day prior to such Dividend Payment Date) shall have been paid or shall have been declared and sufficient funds for the payment thereof deposited with the Paying Agent and (ii) the Trust has redeemed the full number of shares of RP and Other RP required to be redeemed by any provision for mandatory redemption pertaining thereto, and (B) the Trust will not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend or other distribution (other than a dividend or distribution paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase, Common Shares or other shares, if any, ranking junior to shares of RP as to dividends and upon liquidation) in respect of Common Shares or any other shares of the Trust ranking junior to or on a parity with shares of RP as to dividends or upon liquidation, or call for redemption, redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any Common Shares or any other such junior shares (except by conversion into or exchange for shares of the Trust ranking junior to shares of RP as to dividends and upon liquidation), unless immediately after such transaction the Discounted Value of the Trust's portfolio would at least equal the RP Basic Maintenance Amount.

11. Notice. All notices or communications, unless otherwise specified in these By-laws, shall be sufficiently given if in writing and delivered in person or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid.

(ii) an opinion of legal counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Trustees to the effect that the payment of dividends on the shares of Serial RP would not jeopardize the Trust's status as a regulated investment company and the affirmative vote or consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the shares of each series of RP outstanding at the time, in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (each such series voting separately as a class) (in either case, an "Exchange Event"), then, on the first Dividend Payment Date for the RP which is at least 45 days after the occurrence of an Exchange Event and as of which the conditions described below have been satisfied (the "Exchange Date"), the RP will be exchanged on a share-for-share basis for Serial RP. Shares of RP will not be exchanged for shares of Serial RP unless each of Moody's and

S&P shall have provided on the Exchange Date a rating on the Serial RP equivalent to the then-current rating provided by such rating agency on the RP; provided that, if Moody's or S&P shall not make such rating available, such exchange will take place if (i) a Substitute Rating Agency or Agencies shall have provided a rating equivalent to such then-current rating or ratings on the Exchange Date and (ii) all shares of RP subject to such exchange that were tendered (or deemed tendered) on the Tender Date preceding such Exchange Date shall have been remarketed by the Remarketing Agents on the related Dividend Reset Date at a price of $100,000 per share.

Such notice will state: (i) the Exchange Date, (ii) that on such Exchange Date all shares of RP will be exchanged automatically, and without any action or choice on the part of the Holders thereof, on a share-for-share basis for shares of Serial RP, (iii) that the Initial Dividend Period for the Serial RP issuable in exchange for the shares of RP will be a 28-day Dividend Period commencing on such Exchange Date, (iv) that dividends on shares of RP will cease to accumulate on such Exchange Date and (v) whether the Serial RP will be rated by Moody's and S&P or by a Substitute Rating Agency or Substitute Rating Agencies.

(c) On the Exchange Date, shares of RP will cease to accumulate dividends, will no longer be deemed outstanding, the rights of the Holders of such shares (except the right to receive shares of Serial RP, accumulated but unpaid dividends on their shares of RP to but excluding the Exchange Date and any payments required by paragraphs 3(h) and 3(k) of Part I) will cease, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Serial RP upon the exchange will be treated for all purposes as the holder or holders of such Serial RP.

13. Certain Other Restrictions. For so long as any shares of RP are outstanding,

(a) the Trust will not, unless it has received written confirmation from Moody's and S&P that any such action would not impair the ratings then assigned by Moody's and S&P to shares of RP engage in any one or more of the following transactions:

(i) borrow money if the RP Basic Maintenance Amount would not be satisfied after giving effect to such borrowing; or

(ii) borrow, in the aggregate, money in excess of the lesser of $10,000,000 or the product of the number of shares of RP and Other RP outstanding multiplied by $10,000 or 10% of the total assets of the Trust; or

dividend on the shares of RP; (iii) any mandatory or optional redemption of the shares of RP (iv) any assumption of control of the Board of Trustees by the Holders of shares of RP pursuant to Section 6(b); (v) in the event the Trust shall not be a party to a pricing services agreement and dealer quotes on assets are not available; (vi) in the event that the Applicable Dividend Rate equals or exceeds 95% of "AA" Composite Commercial Paper Rate; (vii) a change in dividend period; (viii) any person owning more than 5% of Trust's Common Shares; (ix) a change in Internal Revenue Service rules on Gross-up Dividends relating to the operation of the Trust; and (x) a change in pricing service.

PART II. REMARKETING PROCEDURES

1. Remarketing Schedule. Each Remarketing shall take place over a three-day period consisting of the Tender Date, the Dividend Reset Date and the Settlement Date. Such dates or the method of establishing such dates shall be determined by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

2. Procedure for Tendering. (a) Each share of RP is subject to Tender and Dividend Reset at the end of each Dividend Period and may be tendered in the Remarketing which commences on the Tender Date immediately prior to the end of the current Dividend Period. By 12:00 noon, New York City time, on each such Tender Date, the Remarketing Agents shall, after canvassing the market and considering prevailing market conditions at the time for shares of RP and similar securities, provide Beneficial Owners non-binding indications of the Applicable Dividend Rate for the next succeeding Dividend Period or, if applicable, a Special Dividend Period; provided that, if the Board of Trustees has designated the next Dividend Period as a Special Dividend Period, the Remarketing Agents will provide to Beneficial Owners a non-binding indication only of the Applicable Dividend Rate for such Special Dividend Period. The actual Applicable Dividend Rate for such Dividend Period may be greater than or less than the rate per annum indicated in such non-binding indications (but not greater than the applicable Maximum Dividend Rate). By 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Tender Date, each Beneficial Owner of shares of RP must notify a Remarketing Agent of its desire, on a share-by-share basis, either to tender such share of RP at a price of $100,000 per share or to continue to hold such share for the next Dividend Period or, if applicable, to accept a designated Special Dividend Period. Any notice given to a Remarketing Agent to tender or hold shares for a particular Dividend Period shall be irrevocable and shall not be conditioned upon the level at which the Applicable Dividend Rate is established. Any such notice may not be waived by the Remarketing Agents, except that prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Dividend Reset Date, a Remarketing Agent may, in its sole discretion, (i) at the request of a Beneficial Owner that has tendered one or more shares to such Remarketing Agent, waive such Beneficial Owner's tender, and thereby enable such Beneficial Owner to continue to hold the share or shares for the next Dividend Period or, if applicable, a designated Special Dividend Period, as agreed to by such Beneficial Owner and such Remarketing Agent at such time, so long as such tendering Beneficial Owner has indicated to such Remarketing Agent that it would accept the new Applicable Dividend Rate for such Dividend Period, such waiver to be contingent upon the Remarketing Agents' ability to remarket all shares of RP tendered in such Remarketing, and (ii) at the request of a Beneficial Owner that has elected to hold one or more of its shares of RP, waive such Beneficial Owner's election with respect thereto.

(b) The right of each Beneficial Owner to tender shares of RP in a Remarketing shall be limited to the extent that (i) the Remarketing Agents conduct a Remarketing pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, (ii) shares tendered have not been called for redemption and (iii) the Remarketing Agents are able to find a purchaser or purchasers for tendered shares of RP at an Applicable Dividend Rate for the next applicable Dividend Period that is not in excess of the Maximum Dividend Rate for such Dividend Period.

nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum for the next Dividend Period, or, if designated, Special Dividend Period. The Applicable Dividend Rate for each such Dividend Period, except as otherwise required herein, shall be the dividend rate per annum which the Remarketing Agents determine, in their sole judgment, to be the lowest rate that will enable them to remarket on behalf of the Beneficial Owners thereof all shares of RP subject to Tender and Dividend Reset in such Remarketing and tendered to them on such Tender Date at a price of $100,000 per share.

(b) If no Applicable Dividend Rate shall have been established on a Dividend Reset Date in a Remarketing for the next Dividend Period, or Special Dividend Period, if any, for any reason (other than because there are no Remarketing Agents, the Remarketing Agents are not required to conduct a Remarketing pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement or the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket on the Dividend Reset Date all shares of RP tendered (or deemed tendered) to them at a price of $100,000 per share), then the Remarketing Agents, in their sole discretion, shall, if necessary and except during a Non-Payment Period, after taking into account market conditions as reflected in the prevailing yields on fixed and variable rate taxable and tax-exempt debt securities and the prevailing dividend yields of fixed and variable rate preferred stock, determine the Applicable Dividend Rate that would be the rate per annum that would be the initial dividend rate fixed in an offering on such Dividend Reset Date, assuming in each case a comparable dividend period, issuer and security. If there is no Remarketing because there are no Remarketing Agents or the Remarketing Agents are not required to conduct a Remarketing pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement or if the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket on the Dividend Reset Date all shares of RP tendered (or deemed tendered) to them at a price of $100,000 per share, then, except during a Non-Payment Period, the Applicable Dividend Rate for the subsequent Dividend Period and for each subsequent Dividend Period for which no Remarketing takes place because of the foregoing shall be the applicable Maximum Dividend Rate for a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or for a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series C shares of RP) and the next succeeding Dividend Period shall be a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) and a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series C shares of RP) .

(c) In determining such Applicable Dividend Rate, the Remarketing Agents shall, after taking into account market conditions as reflected in the prevailing yields on fixed and variable rate taxable and tax-exempt debt securities and the prevailing dividend yields of fixed and variable rate preferred stock determined for the purpose of providing non-binding indications of the Applicable Dividend Rate to Beneficial Owners and potential purchasers of shares of RP, (i) consider the number of shares of RP tendered and the number of shares of RP potential purchasers are willing to purchase and (ii) contact by telephone or otherwise current and potential Beneficial Owners of shares of RP subject to Tender and Dividend Reset to ascertain the dividend rates at which they would be willing to hold shares of RP.

(d) The Applicable Dividend Rate shall be determined as aforesaid by the Remarketing Agents in their sole discretion (except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.1 with respect to an Applicable Dividend Rate that shall be the Non-Payment Period Rate or the Maximum Dividend Rate) and shall be conclusive and binding on Holders and Beneficial Owners.

(e) Except during a Non-Payment Period, the Applicable Dividend Rate for any Dividend Period shall not be more than the applicable Maximum Dividend Rate.

4. Allocation of Shares; Failure to Remarket at $100.000 Per Share. (a) If the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Dividend Reset Date all shares of RP tendered to them in the related Remarketing at a price of $100,000 per share, (i) each Beneficial Owner that tendered or was deemed to have tendered shares of RP for sale shall sell a number of shares of RP on a pro rata basis, to the extent practicable, or by lot, as determined by the Remarketing Agents in their sole discretion, based on the number of orders to purchase shares of RP in such Remarketing, and (ii) the Applicable Dividend Rate for the next Dividend Period, which shall be a 28-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series A and B shares of RP) or a 7-day Dividend Period (in the case of Series C shares of RP), shall be the Maximum Dividend Rate for such 28-day Dividend Period or 7-day Dividend Period, as the case may be.

(b) If the allocation procedures described above would result in the sale of a fraction of a share of RP, the Remarketing Agents shall, in their sole discretion, round up or down the number of shares of RP sold by each Beneficial Owner on the applicable Dividend Reset Date so that each share sold by a Beneficial Owner shall be a whole share of RP, and the total number of shares sold equals the total number of shares purchased on such Dividend Reset Date.

5. Notification of Results; Settlement. (a) By telephone at approximately 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on each Dividend Reset Date, the Remarketing Agents shall advise each Beneficial Owner of tendered shares and each purchaser thereof (or the Agent Member thereof) (i) of the number of shares such Beneficial Owner or purchaser is to sell or purchase and (ii) to give instructions to its Agent Member to deliver such shares against payment therefor or to pay the purchase price against delivery as appropriate. The Remarketing Agents will also advise each Beneficial Owner or Purchaser that is to continue to hold, or to purchase, shares with a Dividend Period beginning on the Business Day following such Dividend Reset Date of the Applicable Dividend Rate for such shares.

(b) In accordance with the Securities Depository's normal procedures, on the Settlement Date, the transactions described above with respect to each share of RP shall be executed through the Securities Depository, if the Securities Depository or its nominee holds or is to hold the certificate relating to the shares to be purchased, and the accounts of the respective Agent Members of the Securities Depository shall be debited and credited and shares delivered by book entry as necessary to effect the purchases and sales of shares of RP in the related Remarketing. Purchasers of shares of RP shall make payment to the Paying Agent in same-day funds against delivery to other purchasers or their nominees of one or more certificates representing shares of RP, or, if the Securities Depository or its nominee holds or is to hold the certificate relating to the shares to be purchased, through their Agent Members in same-day funds to the Securities Depository against delivery by book entry of shares of RP through their Agent Members. The Securities Depository shall make payment in accordance with its normal procedures.

(c) If any Beneficial Owner selling shares of RP in a Remarketing fails to deliver such shares, the Agent Member of such selling Beneficial Owner and of any other person that was to have purchased shares of RP in such Remarketing may deliver to any such other person a number of whole shares of RP that is less than the number of shares that otherwise was to be purchased by such person. In such event, the number of shares of RP to be so delivered shall be determined by such Agent Member. Delivery of such lesser number of shares of RP shall constitute good delivery.

(d) The Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent and the Securities Depository each will use its reasonable commercial efforts to meet the timing requirements set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above; provided that, in the event that there is a delay in the occurrence of any delivery or other event connected with a Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents, the Paying Agent and the Securities Depository each will use its reasonable commercial efforts to accommodate such delivery in furtherance of the Remarketing.

(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 5, the Remarketing Agents may, in their sole discretion, modify the settlement procedures set forth above with respect to any Remarketing, provided any such modification does not adversely affect the Beneficial Owners or the Holders of RP or the Trust.

6. Purchase of Shares of RP by Remarketing Agents. The Remarketing Agents may purchase for their own accounts shares of RP in a Remarketing, provided that they purchase all tendered (or deemed tendered) shares of RP not sold in such Remarketing to other purchasers and that the Applicable Dividend Rate established with respect to such shares in such Remarketing is not higher than the Applicable Dividend Rate that would have been established if the Remarketing Agents had not purchased such shares. Except as provided in the previous sentence, the Remarketing Agents shall not be obligated to purchase any shares of RP that would otherwise remain unsold in a Remarketing. If the Remarketing Agents own any shares of RP subject to a Remarketing immediately prior to such Remarketing and if all other shares subject to such Remarketing and rendered for sale by other Beneficial Owners of shares of RP have been sold in such Remarketing, then the Remarketing Agents may sell such number of their shares in such Remarketing as there are outstanding orders to purchase that have not been filled by shares tendered for sale by other Beneficial Owners. Neither the Trust, the Paying Agent nor any of the Remarketing Agents shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment to a Beneficial Owner upon such Beneficial Owner's tender of its shares of RP in a Remarketing.

7. Applicable Dividend Rate During a Non-Payment Period. So long as a Non-Payment Period shall continue, paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Part II shall not be applicable to any of the Shares of RP and the shares of RP shall not be subject to Tender and Dividend Reset.

beneficial ownership, (ii) to be conclusively bound by the remarketing procedures, including the Remarketing Agents' determination of the Applicable Dividend Rate, (iii) that its notice to tender shares of RP in a Remarketing shall constitute an irrevocable offer, except as set forth in such Master Purchaser's Letter, to sell the shares specified in such notice and authorization to the Remarketing Agents to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such shares as set forth herein and (iv) unless the Trust shall have elected, during a Non-Payment Period, to waive this requirement, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any share of RP held by it only pursuant to orders placed in a Remarketing or to a person that has signed and delivered a Master Purchaser's Letter as providing herein, and, in the case of any transfer other than pursuant to a Remarketing, to ensure that an Agent Member advises a Remarketing Agent of such transfer. The Agent Member shall be authorized and instructed to disclose to any Remarketing Agent and/or the Paying Agent such information with respect to such purchaser's beneficial ownership as a Remarketing Agent or the Paying Agent shall request.

9. Miscellaneous. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Trustees of the Trust may interpret or adjust the provisions hereof to resolve any inconsistency or ambiguity, or to remedy any formal defect.

10. Securities Depository; Shares Certificates. (a) If there is a Securities Depository, one certificate for all of the shares of a series of RP shall be issued to the Securities Depository and registered in the name of the Securities Depository or its nominee. Any such certificate shall bear a legend to the effect that such certificate is issued subject to the provisions contained in this Section 12.1 and each Master Purchaser's Letter. Unless the Trust shall have elected, during a Non-Payment Period, to waive this requirement, the Trust will also issue stop-transfer instructions to the Paying Agent for the shares of RP. Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, the Securities Depository or its nominee will be the Holder, and no Beneficial Owner shall receive certificates representing its ownership interest in such shares.

(b) If the Applicable Dividend Rate applicable to all shares of RP shall be the Non-Payment Period Rate or there is no Securities Depository, the Trust may at its option issue one or more new certificates with respect to such shares (without the legend referred to in paragraph 10(a) of this Part II) registered in the names of the Beneficial Owners or their nominees and rescind the stop-transfer instructions referred to in paragraph 10(a) of this Part II with respect to such shares.

PERSONS

Dear Sirs:

This letter is designed to apply to auctions for publicly or privately offered debt or equity securities ("Securities") of any issuer ("Company") which are described in any final prospectus or other offering materials relating to such Securities as the same may be amended or supplemented (collectively, with respect to the particular Securities concerned, the "Prospectus") and which involve periodic rate, settings through auctions ("Auctions") or remarketing procedures ("Remarketings"). This letter shall be for the benefit of any Company and of any trust company, auction agent, paying agent (collectively, "trust company"), remarketing agent, broker-dealer, agent member, securities depository or other interested persons in connection with any Securities and related Auctions or Remarketings (it being understood that such persons may be required to execute specified agreements and nothing herein shall alter such requirements).

We authorize any broker-dealer that submits a bid or sell order as our agent in Auctions or Remarketing to execute contracts for the sale of Securities covered by such bid or sell order. We recognize that the payment by such broker-dealer for Securities purchased on our behalf shall not relieve us of any liability to such broker-dealer for payment for such Securities.

We understand that -in a Remarketing the dividend or interest rate or rates on the Securities and the allocation of Securities tendered for sale between dividend or interest periods of different lengths will be based from time to time on the determinations of one or more remarketing agents, and we agree to be conclusively bound by such determinations. We further agree to the payment of different dividend or interest rates to different holders of Securities depending on the length of the dividend or interest period elected by such holders. We agree that any notice given by us to a remarketing agent (or to a broker-dealer for transmission to a remarketing agent) of our desire to tender Securities in a Remarketing shall constitute an irrevocable (except to the limited extent set forth in the Prospectus) offer by us to sell the Securities specified in such notice, or such lesser number of Securities as we shall be required to sell as a result of such Remarketing, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Prospectus, and we authorize the remarketing agent to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Securities as set forth in the Prospectus.

We understand that a restrictive legend will be placed on certificates representing the Securities, and stop-transfer instructions will be issued to the transfer agent and/or registrar, all as set forth in the Prospectus.

We agree that, during the applicable period as described in the Prospectus, ownership of Securities shall be represented by one or more global certificates registered in the name of the applicable securities depository or its nominee, that we will not be entitled to receive any certificate representing the Securities and that our ownership of any Securities will be maintained in book entry form by the securities depository for the account of our agent member, which in turn will maintain records of our beneficial ownership. We authorize and instruct our agent member to disclose to the applicable trust company or remarketing agent such information concerning our beneficial ownership of Securities as such trust company or remarketing agent shall request.

B. We hereby confirm that any purchase of Securities made by us will be for our own account, or for the account of one or more parties for which we are acting as trustee or agent with complete investment discretion and with authority to bind such parties, and not with view to any public resale or distribution thereof. We and each other party for which we are acting which will acquire Securities will be "accredited investors" within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act with respect to the Securities to be purchased by us or such party, as the case may be, will have previously invested in similar types of instruments and will be able and prepared to bear the economic risk of investing in and holding such Securities.

D. We recognize that the Company and broker-dealers will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing investment representations and agreements and we agree that each of our purchases of Securities now or in the future shall be deemed to constitute our concurrence in all of the foregoing which shall be binding on us and each party for which we are acting as set forth in Subparagraph B above.
