Supplementary currently provide a cap on the rate of distributions that may be paid to the holders of the AMPS. The maximum rate of distributions is currently calculated as 150% of the &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper Rate. Because of
recent record low commercial paper rates, and the variability of other competing cash management investment yields, there have been several times in recent months when distribution rates set in the auction process have nearly reached the maximum
distribution rate. If the rate set at auction had exceeded the maximum distribution rate allowed, the AMPS would have been considered illiquid until the next reset date. In order to maintain liquidity of the AMPS, the Board is proposing that the
formula for calculating the maximum rate of distributions to be paid to the holders of the AMPS be changed from 150% of the &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper Rate to the greater of (a) 200% of the &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper
Rate or (b) 200 basis points plus the &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper Rate. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000"><I>Discussion</I>. Generally, the rate of distributions paid on each series of the AMPS is set pursuant to a Dutch auction process. This means that the lowest bid received during an auction of a series
of the AMPS that allows Sufficient Clearing Bids is the one that determines the actual rate of distributions paid on that series of the AMPS during any given Dividend Period. However, distributions on the AMPS may not exceed the Maximum Applicable
Rate. Thus, under normal market conditions, if there are Sufficient Clearing Bids received in any given auction, the distribution rate will be less than the Maximum Applicable Rate, which is calculated as the product of the &#145;AA&#146; Composite
Commercial Paper Rate (<I>i.e.</I>, the Reference Rate) and the applicable percentage (as shown in the table below): </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

were first issued in June of 1989 and through January 15, 2003, the average rate at which the AMPS have been bid is 4.837% which is the equivalent of 99% of the average &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper Rate for that period. Following the
announcement by the Federal Reserve of a 50 basis point easing in interest rates on November 6, 2002, the AMPS auction rates dropped by a similar magnitude. However, during the period from November 8, 2002 through early 2003, the auction rates have
come under steady upward pressure due to unusual market conditions and have risen as high as 149.77% of the &#145;AA&#146; Composite Commercial Paper Rate. As of January 15, 2003, the AMPS were bid at a rate of 1.49% which was the equivalent of 118%

Australia and U.S. rates and a depreciating Australian dollar have resulted in the AMPS having a negative impact on returns to holders of common stock. During the 12 months prior to January 31, 2003, the key investment trend was an end to the
unilateral strength of the U.S. dollar. The Australian dollar and most Asian currencies strengthened against the U.S. dollar over the period, with the Australian dollar rising 15.62%. Further, with U.S. interest rates at historic lows, the
differential between the cost of the AMPS and the rates at which the Fund invests has been positive in recent months. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

commercial paper rates to abnormally low levels. The AMPS, which compete with a large number of short-term tax-exempt offerings, did not decline as much as the more liquid commercial paper rates. This widened the spreads in yields between commercial
paper rates and AMPS to levels nearly precluding the normally recurring AMPS auctions that provide essential investor liquidity. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

purchase or hold orders submitted at a rate below the Maximum Applicable Rate for all shares to be cleared, Sufficient Clearing Bids have not been obtained. If there are not Sufficient Clearing Bids made during any given auction, the auction is said
to have &#147;failed.&#148; Under these circumstances, the distribution rate on the AMPS for that Dividend Period will be equal to the Maximum Applicable Rate. The holders of the AMPS during the Dividend Period immediately prior to the

considered the possibility of redeeming the AMPS in the event that the Maximum Applicable Rate is reached and sustained for any length of time. However, the Board rejected this option on the grounds that the AMPS have for the most part contributed
positively over the years to the returns received by the holders of the Fund&#146;s common stock. In addition, the Board considered that in order to redeem the AMPS, portfolio securities may need to be sold by the Fund at inopportune times and
significant unrealized foreign exchange losses might have to be realized, lowering the amount of income available for distribution to holders of the Fund&#146;s common stock. The Board also considered the fact that reissuing the AMPS at a later date
would be costly. After balancing these potential costs against the costs to common stockholders of raising the Maximum Applicable Rate (including the cost of this proxy solicitation), the Board determined that this proposed amendment should be
presented to stockholders for a vote as part of the Amendment and Restatement. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Period is the number of days that will elapse between resets of the distribution rate on the AMPS. Currently, the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D AMPS have a Regular Dividend Period of 28 days, meaning that the distribution rates on those
series are currently reset every 28 days. The Series E, Series F, Series G, Series H and Series I AMPS currently have a Regular Dividend Period of seven days, meaning that the distribution rates on those series is currently reset every seven days.
If Proposal 3 is approved by stockholders, the Fund would be able to request that the next Dividend Period for any of Series A through I be a Special Dividend Period. Special Dividend Periods could consist of a specified number of days (other than
the number included in the applicable Regular Dividend Period) evenly divisible by seven, and not fewer than seven nor more than 364 or a specified number of whole years not greater than five years. Thus, the next reset of the distribution rate
would be at the end of the number of days specified in the Special Dividend Period. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

However, those Broker-Dealers who have entered into Broker-Dealer Agreements with the Auction Agent with respect to the Fund would presumably object to the declaration of a given Special Dividend Period if market conditions were such that the AMPS
would be adversely affected by a longer period between resets of the distribution rate. If Broker-Dealers object to the declaration of a Special Dividend Period, the Fund may not declare a Special Dividend Period.<B></B> </FONT></P><P

derivatives to manage currency and interest rate risk, as well as to replicate or substitute for physical securities, such as bonds, bills, cash and foreign exchange securities. In June 2001, the Fund&#146;s stockholders voted to expand the
categories of permissible derivatives. However, the Fund&#146;s use of derivatives continues to be limited by certain provisions of its Articles Supplementary. Therefore, the proposed Amendment and Restatement includes amendments that would allow
the Fund to make better use of derivative instruments. The use of derivatives would still be subject to any restrictions imposed by S&amp;P or Moody&#146;s in order for the Fund to maintain its current ratings. </FONT></P><P
