2.1 Purpose; Incorporation by Reference of Auction Procedures and Settlement Procedures.

(a) The Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted a resolution appointing The Bank of New York as Auction Agent for purposes of the Auction Procedures. The Auction Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees that, on each Auction Date, it shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 2 and the Auction Procedures for the purpose of determining the Applicable Rate for any Subsequent Rate Period.

(b) All of the provisions contained in the Auction Procedures and the Settlement Procedures are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and shall be deemed to be a part hereof to the same extent as if such provisions were fully set forth herein.

2.2 Preparation for Each Auction; Maintenance of Registry of Beneficial Owners.

(a) Not later than seven days prior to the first Auction Date, the Trust shall provide the Auction Agent with a list of the Broker-Dealers. Not later than seven days prior to any Auction Date for which any change in such list of Broker-Dealers is to be effective, the Trust will notify the Auction Agent in writing of such change and, if any such change involves the addition of a Broker-Dealer to such list, shall cause to be delivered to the Auction Agent for execution by the Auction Agent a Broker-Dealer Agreement signed by such Broker-Dealer; provided, however, that if the Trust proposes to designate any Special Rate Period of APS pursuant to Section 3 of Part I of the Statement, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day next preceding the Auction next preceding the first day of such Rate Period or by such later time or date, or both, as may be agreed to by the Auction Agent, the Trust shall provide the Auction Agent with a list of the Broker-Dealers for the APS and a manually signed copy of each Broker-Dealer Agreement or a new Schedule A to a Broker-Dealer Agreement (which Schedule A shall replace and supersede any previous Schedule A to such Broker-Dealer Agreement) with each Broker-Dealer for the APS. The Auction Agent and the Trust shall have entered into a Broker-Dealer Agreement with each Broker-Dealer prior to the participation of any such Broker-Dealer in any Auction.

(c) (i) The Auction Agent shall maintain a registry of the beneficial owners of the APS who shall constitute Existing Holders for purposes of Auctions and shall indicate thereon the identity of the respective Broker-Dealer of each Existing Holder, if any, on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted the most recent Order in any Auction which resulted in such Existing Holder continuing to hold or purchasing APS. The Auction Agent shall keep

such registry current and accurate based on the information provided to it from time to time by the Broker-Dealer. The Trust shall provide or cause to be provided to the Auction Agent at or prior to the Date of Original Issue of the APS a list of the initial Existing Holders of the APS, the number of shares purchased by each such Existing Holder and the respective Broker-Dealer of each such Existing Holder or the affiliate thereof through which each such Existing Holder purchased such shares. The Auction Agent may rely upon, as conclusive evidence of the identities of the Existing Holders of APS (A) such list, (B) the results of Auctions, (C) notices from any Broker-Dealer as described in the first sentence of Section 2.2(c)(iii) hereof and (D) the results of any procedures approved by the Trust that have been devised for the purpose of determining the identities of Existing Holders in situations where APS may have been transferred without compliance with any restriction on the transfer thereof set forth in the Auction Procedures.

(ii) In the event of any partial redemption of any APS, the Auction Agent shall, at least two Business Days prior to the next Auction for the APS, request each Broker-Dealer to provide the Auction Agent with a list of Persons who such Broker-Dealer believes should remain Existing Holders after such redemption based upon inquiries of those Persons such Broker-Dealer believes are Beneficial Owners as a result of the most recent Auction and with respect to each such Person, the number of APS such Broker-Dealer believes are owned by such Person after such redemption. In the absence of receiving any such information from any Broker-Dealer, the Auction Agent may continue to treat the Persons listed in its registry of Existing Holders as the beneficial owner of the number of APS shown in such registry.

(iii) The Auction Agent shall be required to register a transfer of APS from an Existing Holder of such APS only if such transfer is to another Existing Holder, or other Person if permitted by the Trust, and only if such transfer is made (A) pursuant to an Auction, (B) the Auction Agent has been notified in writing (I) in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Broker-Dealer Agreements by a Broker-Dealer of such transfer or (II) in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the Broker-Dealer Agreements by the Broker-Dealer of any Existing Holder, or other Person if permitted by the Trust, that purchased or sold such APS in an Auction of the failure of such APS to be transferred as a result of such Auction or (C) pursuant to procedures approved by the Trust that have been devised for the purpose of determining the identities of Existing Holders in situations where APS may have been transferred without compliance with any restriction on the transfer thereof set forth in the Auction Procedures. The Auction Agent is not required to accept any such notice for an Auction unless it is received by the Auction Agent by 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day preceding such Auction.

(d) The Auction Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, request the Broker-Dealers, as set forth in the Broker-Dealer Agreements, to provide the Auction Agent with a list of Persons who such Broker-Dealer believes should be Existing Holders based upon inquiries of those Persons such Broker-Dealer believes are Beneficial Owners as a result of the most recent Auction and with respect to each such Person, the number of APS such Broker-Dealer believes to be owned by such Person. The Auction Agent shall keep confidential such registry of Existing Holders and shall not disclose the identities of the Existing Holders of such APS to any Person other than the Trust and the Broker-Dealer that provided such information;

provided, however, that the Auction Agent reserves the right and is authorized to disclose any such information if (a) it is ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction or a regulatory body, judicial or quasi-judicial agency or authority having the authority to compel such disclosure, (b) it is advised by its counsel that its failure to do so would be unlawful or (c) failure to do so would expose the Auction Agent to loss, liability, claim, damage or expense for which it has not received indemnity or security satisfactory to it.

2.3 Auction Schedule.

Such schedule may be changed by the Auction Agent with the consent of the Trust, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

then the Auction Agent shall deliver a notice in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the Broker-Dealers not later than one Business Day after the receipt of the payment from the Trust curing such Failure to Deposit and such Late Charge.

(c) A Failure to Deposit with respect to APS shall have been cured (if such Failure to Deposit is not solely due to the willful failure to the Trust to make the required payment to the Auction Agent) with respect to any Rate Period if, within the respective time periods described immediately above, the Trust shall have paid to the Auction Agent (i) all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the APS and (ii) without duplication, the Redemption Price for the APS, if any, for which Notice of Redemption has been mailed; provided, however, that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not apply to the Trust’s failure to pay the Redemption Price in respect of APS when the related Redemption Notice provides that redemption of such shares is subject to one or more conditions precedent and each such condition precedent shall not have been satisfied at the time or times and in the manner specified in such Notice of Redemption.
