(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 NonPayment Period Rate or the Maximum Dividend Rate) and shall be conclusive and binding on Holders and Beneficial Owners.

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.
