|
(b)
|
Maturity date shown represents the mandatory tender date.
|
(c)
|
Variable rate security. Interest rate disclosed is as of the most recent information available. Certain variable rate
securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and
are based on current market conditions. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their
description above.
|
(d)
|
Income from this issue is considered a preference item for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax
("AMT").

|
(h)
|
Variable rate demand obligations ("VRDOs") have a demand feature under which the Fund can tender them back to
the issuer or liquidity provider on no more than 7 days notice. The interest rate generally resets on a daily or
weekly basis and is determined on the specific interest rate reset date by the remarketing agent, pursuant to a
formula specified in official documents for the VRDO, or set at the highest rate allowable as specified in official
documents for the VRDO. VRDOs are benchmarked to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association
("SIFMA") Municipal Swap Index. The SIFMA Municipal Swap Index is compiled from weekly interest rate resets
of tax-exempt VRDOs reported to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's Short-term Obligation Rate
Transparency System.
|
(i)

Maturity date shown is the final maturity date. The security may be sold back to the issuer before final maturity.
