&#147;Committee&#148;), which consists of Board members who are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act and who are &#147;independent&#148; as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing
standards. Currently, Messrs. Bodurtha, London, May and Perold and Ms. Ramo are members of the Committee. The principal responsibilities of the Committee are to: (i) recommend to the Board the selection, retention or termination of each Fund&#146;s
independent auditors; (ii) review with the independent auditors the scope, performance and anticipated cost of their audit: (iii) discuss with the independent auditors certain matters relating to the Fund&#146;s financial statements, including any
adjustment to such financial statements recommended by such independent auditors, or any other results of any audit; (iv) ensure that the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis a formal written statement with respect to their independence,
discuss with the independent auditors any relationships or services disclosed in the statement that may impact the objectivity and independence of the Fund&#146;s independent auditors and recommend that the Board take appropriate action in response
thereto to satisfy itself of the independent auditors independence; and (v) consider the comments of the independent
auditors and management&#146;s responses thereto with respect to the quality and adequacy of each Fund&#146;s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and internal controls. Each Fund adopted an Audit Committee Charter at a meeting
held on May 23, 2000. The Audit Committee Charter was revised and reapproved by each Fund&#146;s Board at a meeting held on March 13, 2001. A copy of the revised Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit B. The Committee
also has (a) received written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 from Deloitte &amp; Touche LLP (&#147;D&amp;T&#148;), each Fund&#146;s independent auditors, and (b) discussed with D&amp;T certain
matters required to be discussed by Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61. The Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by each Fund&#146;s independent auditors is compatible with maintaining the independence of those
auditors.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At the meeting held on December 14, 2000, each Fund&#146;s Committee reviewed and discussed the audit of its Fund&#146;s
financial statements with Fund management and D&amp;T. Had any material concerns arisen during the course of the audit and the preparation of the audited financial statements mailed to stockholders and included in each Fund&#146;s Annual Report, the
Committee would have been notified by Fund management or D&amp;T. The Committees received no such notifications. Beginning with each Fund&#146;s fiscal year ending October 31, 2001, the Committee will recommend to the Board whether or not the
Fund&#146;s audited financial statements should be included in its Annual Report to Stockholders.</FONT></DIV>

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), requires the officers and directors of each Fund and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund&#146;s equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;) and the New York Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to

person of the Fund&#146;s Investment Adviser), have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to transactions during the Fund&#146;s most recent fiscal year, with the exception that (i) Roberta Cooper Ramo inadvertently

Members.&#148; The portion of the annual retainer allocated to each Fund is determined quarterly based on relative net assets of the Fund. In addition, each non-interested Board member receives a fee per in-person board meeting attended and per
in-person Committee meeting attended. The annual per meeting fees paid to each non-interested Board member aggregate $60,000 for all Affiliate-Advised Funds on which such Board member serves and are allocated equally among those funds. The Funds
also reimburse the non-interested Board members for actual out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at meetings. Each Committee consists of all of the non-interested Board members.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On June 21, 1996, a putative class action titled <I>Jack Green, et al. v. Fund Asset Management, L.P., et al. </I>was
filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. Among the named defendants in the action are seven of the leveraged closed-end municipal bond funds (including each of the Funds) for which FAM serves as the investment
adviser. In addition to the named defendants, plaintiffs also purport to assert claims against a defendant class consisting of all other publicly traded, closed-end investment companies for which FAM serves as investment adviser and which, among
other things, have issued AMPS. The named plaintiffs, who claim to be investors in the seven named funds, purport to bring the action on behalf of a class consisting of all holders of the common stock of the subject funds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT SIZE="2">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Plaintiffs allege that FAM and other affiliated defendants received excessive compensation for managing the subject
funds. Plaintiffs claim, among other things, that the registration statements, annual reports and other
documents filed by the funds with the SEC were misleading because such documents allegedly failed to disclose that proceeds arising from the issuance of AMPS would be included in a fund&#146;s net assets for the purposes of calculating the
investment advisory fee payable to FAM. In addition, plaintiffs allege that a conflict of interest existed because it would always be in the defendants&#146; interest to keep the funds fully leveraged to maximize the advisory fees and collateral
compensation notwithstanding adverse market conditions. Plaintiffs also allege an additional conflict of interest arising from the receipt by such affiliates of underwriting discounts, or other revenues in connection with the sale of the AMPS by the
funds. The complaint also attempted to assert claims under Sections 8(e), 34(b), 36(a) and 36(b) of the Investment Company Act and the common law. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On August 27, 1996,
defendants moved to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. By order dated June 10, 1997, the District Court Judge granted defendants&#146; motion. Plaintiff objected to the District Court Judge&#146;s
order and moved for reconsideration. By order dated July 16, 1997, the District Court Judge ordered the case transferred to the District of New Jersey.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT SIZE="2">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September 17, 1997, defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs&#146; complaint on the ground that plaintiffs had failed
to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. On February 23, 1998, the District Court granted defendants&#146; motion in substantial part and dismissed plaintiffs&#146; claims under Sections 8(e), 34(b) and 36(a) of the Investment Company
Act with prejudice, but declined to dismiss plaintiffs&#146; claims under section 36(b) and state law. Defendants filed an Answer on April 30, 1998, denying the substantive allegations in the First Amended Complaint.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT SIZE="2">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February 4, 1999, defendants moved to dismiss plaintiffs&#146; state law claims for breach of fiduciary duty and
deceit on the ground that they are preempted by Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act. On June 14, 1999, the District Court granted defendants&#146; motion and dismissed plaintiffs&#146; state law claims. At the same time, the District Court
granted plaintiffs permission to immediately file an interlocutory appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On March 16, 2001, the Third Circuit reversed the District Court&#146;s decision and reinstated plaintiffs&#146;
state law claims.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV ALIGN="left"><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="'Times New Roman', Times">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The defendants believe that the plaintiffs&#146; allegations are without merit and intend to defend the action
vigorously. FAM has agreed to indemnify the named defendant funds (including each of the Funds) for any liabilities or expenses that they may incur in connection with this litigation.</FONT></DIV>

entitled to elect two Board members and holders of Capital Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the remaining Board members. Assuming a quorum is present, (i) election of the two Board members to be elected by the holders
of AMPS, voting separately as a class, will require a plurality of all votes cast by the holders of AMPS, represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote; and (ii) election of the remaining Board members will require a plurality of all votes cast by
the holders of Capital Stock represented at the Meeting and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. A &#147;plurality of the votes&#148; means the candidate must receive more votes than any other candidate for the same position, but not
necessarily a majority of votes cast.</FONT></DIV>

shares of each Fund in &#147;street name&#148; for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Item before the Meeting. The Funds understand that, under
the rules of the New York Stock Exchange such broker-dealer firms may, without instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies designated to vote on the election of Board members (Item 1) if no instructions have been
received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm&#146;s request for voting instructions. The Funds will include shares held of record by broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation of the total number
of votes present for purposes of determining whether the necessary quorum of stockholders exists. Proxies that are returned to the Fund but that are marked &#147;abstain&#148; or on which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any proposal
(&#147;broker non-votes&#148;) will be counted as present for purposes of a quorum. MLPF&amp;S has advised the Funds that it intends to vote shares held in its name for which no instructions are received, except as limited by agreement or applicable
law, on Item 1 in the same proportion as the votes received from beneficial owners of those shares for which instructions have been received, whether or not held in nominee name. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast.
Abstentions and broker non-votes, therefore, will not have an effect on the vote on Item 1.</FONT></DIV>

fiscal year for professional services rendered for: (i) the audit of each Fund&#146;s annual financial statements and the review of financial statements included in each Fund&#146;s report to Stockholders; (ii) financial information systems design
and implementation services provided to each Fund, its investment adviser and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide services to the Fund; and (iii) all other non-audit services provided
to the Fund, its investment adviser, and entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provide services to the Fund. The Committee of each Fund has determined that the provision of information
technology services under clause (ii) and the provision of non-audit services under clause (iii) are compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors.</FONT></DIV>
