BD of the Maximum Rate and the Reference Rate used to make such determination.
(b) BD shall cause the Maximum Rate to be communicated as promptly as practicable to its
customers who hold or may be interested in acquiring APS.
(c) As promptly as practicable after determining each Auction Date, but not later than 9:15
a.m. on the Business Day preceding such Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall notify BD, by such
means as the Auction Agent deems practicable, of the scheduled date of such Auction Date. If the

notice referred to in clause (vii) of paragraph (a) of the Settlement Procedures, the Auction
Agent, by such means as the Auction Agent deems practicable, shall give notice of such change to BD

date so requested by the Auction Agent. The Auction Agent shall keep confidential any such
information, including information received as to the identity of Bidders in any Auction, and shall
not disclose any such information so provided to any Person other than the other parties hereto,
provided that the Auction Agent reserves the right to disclose any such information if (a) it is
ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction or a regulatory, judicial or quasi-judicial
agency, (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 satisfactory to it.
(e) BD agrees to maintain a list of customers relating to a series of APS and to use its best
efforts, subject to existing laws and regulations, to contact the customers on such list whom BD
believes may be interested in participating in the Auction on each Auction Date, as a Potential
Holder or a Potential Beneficial Owner, for the purposes set forth in the Auction Procedures.
Nothing herein shall require BD to submit an Order for any customer in any Auction.

conclusive and binding on BD. BD may inquire of the Auction Agent between 3:00 p.m. on the Business
Day preceding an Auction for shares of a series of APS and 9:30 a.m. on the Auction Date for such
Auction to ascertain the number of shares of such series in respect of which the Auction Agent has
determined BD to be an Existing Holder. If BD believes it is the Existing Holder of fewer shares of
such series than specified by the Auction
4
Exhibit (k)(3)
Agent in response to BD’s inquiry, BD may so inform the Auction Agent of that belief. BD
shall not, in its capacity as Existing Holder of shares of such series, submit Orders in such

shares of such series specified by the Auction Agent in response to BD’s inquiry.

an Order submitted by BD to the Auction Agent in which BD designated itself as an Existing Holder
or Potential Holder in respect of customer Orders, BD shall make appropriate pro rata allocations
among its customers for which it submitted Orders of similar tenor. If as a result of such
allocations, any Beneficial Owner would be entitled or required to sell, or any Beneficial Owner
would be entitled or required to purchase, a fraction of an APS on any Auction Date, BD shall, in
such manner as it shall determine in its sole discretion, round up or down the number of APS to be
purchased or sold on such Auction Date by any Beneficial Owner or Potential Beneficial Owner on
whose behalf BD submitted an Order so that the number of shares so purchased or sold by each such
Beneficial Owner or Potential Beneficial Owner on such Auction Date shall be whole shares.
(e) BD shall submit Orders to the Auction Agent in writing in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A. BD shall submit separate Orders to the Auction Agent for each Potential Holder
or Existing Holder on whose behalf BD is submitting an Order and shall not net or aggregate the
Orders of Potential Holders or Existing Holders on whose behalf BD is submitting Orders.
(f) BD shall deliver to the Auction Agent a written notice, substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B, of transfers of APS made through BD by an Existing Holder to another Person
other than pursuant to an Auction and a written notice, substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C, of the failure of any APS to be transferred to or by any Person that purchased or
sold APS through BD pursuant to an Auction. The Auction Agent is not required to accept any notice
delivered pursuant to the terms of the foregoing sentence with respect to an Auction unless it is
received by the Auction Agent by 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day next preceding the applicable
Auction Date.
2.4 Notices.
(a) On each Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall notify BD by telephone or facsimile (or
other electronic means acceptable to both parties) of the results of the Auction as set forth in
paragraph (a) of the Settlement Procedures. By approximately 11:30 a.m. on the Business Day next

Period of any series of APS of the Trust as a Special Rate Period and the Trust delivers to its
Auction Agent a notice of such proposed Special Rate Period in the form of Exhibit D to the Auction
Agency Agreement, and BD is a Broker-Dealer for such series, such Auction Agent shall deliver such
notice to BD as promptly as practicable after its receipt of such notice from the Trust.
(c) If the Board of Trustees of the Trust determines to designate such succeeding Subsequent
Rate Period as a Special Rate Period, and the Trust delivers to its Auction Agent and BD a notice

3:00 p.m. on such second Business Day.
(d) If the Trust shall deliver to its Auction Agent and BD a notice not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the second Business Day next preceding the first day of any Rate Period stating that the Trust
has determined not to exercise its option to designate such succeeding Subsequent Rate Period as a
Special Rate Period, in the form of Exhibit F to the Auction Agency Agreement, or shall fail to

Period Days during which a Failure to Deposit occurred but has not been cured), and, prior to 12:00
Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day next
7
Exhibit (k)(3)
succeeding the date on which such Failure to Deposit occurred, such Failure to Deposit shall
not have been cured as described in Section 2.8(c) of the Auction Agency Agreement or the Trust
shall not have paid to the Auction Agent for such series the applicable Late Charge described in
Section 2.8(a) of the Auction Agency Agreement; or (ii) any Failure to Deposit shall have occurred

(a) No later than 12:00 noon on each Dividend Payment Date, the Auction Agent after each
Auction will pay a service charge from funds provided by the Trust to each Broker-Dealer on the
basis of the purchase price of APS placed by such Broker-Dealer at such Auction. The service charge
shall be (i) in the case of any Auction Date immediately preceding a twenty-eight-day Dividend
Period, the product of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such
Dividend Period (calculated by counting the date of original issue of such shares to but excluding
the next succeeding dividend payment date of such shares) and the denominator of which is 360,
times (B) 1/4 of 1%, times (C) $25,000, times (D) the sum of the aggregate number of shares of
outstanding APS for which the Auction is conducted and (ii) in the case of any Special Dividend
Period the amount determined by mutual consent of the Trust and any such Broker-Dealers and shall
be based upon a selling concession that would be applicable to an underwriting of fixed or variable
rate APS with a similar final maturity or variable rate dividend period, respectively, at the
commencement of the Dividend Period with respect to such Auction.
(b) If the Trust determines to change the rate at which the Broker-Dealer Fee accrues, the
Trust shall mail to the Auction Agent a notice thereof within two Business Days of such change. Any
change in the Broker-Dealer Fee Rate shall be effective on the Auction Date next succeeding the
Auction Agent’s receipt of notice of such change.
2.8 Settlement.
(a) If any Existing Holder selling APS in an Auction fails to deliver such APS (by authorized
book-entry), the BD of any Person that was to have purchased APS in such Auction may deliver to
such Person a number of APS that is less than the number of APS that otherwise were to be purchased
by such Person. In such event, the number of APS to be so delivered shall be determined by BD.
Delivery of such lesser number of APS shall constitute good delivery. Upon the occurrence of any
such failure to deliver APS, BD shall deliver to the Auction Agent the notice required by Section
2.2(c)(ii) of the Auction Agency Agreement.
8
Exhibit (k)(3)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.8, any delivery or non delivery of
APS which represents any departure from the results of an Auction, as determined by the Auction
Agent, shall be of no effect unless and until the Auction Agent shall have been notified of such
delivery or non-delivery in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2(c)(ii) of the Auction Agency
Agreement. The Auction Agent shall have no duty or liability with respect to enforcement of this
Section 2.8.
(b) Neither the Auction Agent nor the Trust shall have any responsibility or liability with
respect to the failure of an Existing Holder, a Potential Holder or an Agent Member or any of them
to deliver APS or to pay for APS sold or purchased pursuant to the Auction Procedures or otherwise.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Auction Procedures or the Settlement Procedures to
the contrary, in the event BD is an Existing Holder with respect to shares of a series of APS and
the Auction Procedures provide that BD shall be deemed to have submitted a Sell Order in an Auction
with respect to such shares if BD fails to submit an Order in that Auction with respect to such
shares, BD shall have no liability to any Person for failing to sell such shares pursuant to such a
deemed Sell Order if (i) such shares were transferred by the beneficial owner thereof without
notification of such transfer in compliance with the Auction Procedures or (ii) BD has indicated to
the Auction Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(f) of this Agreement that, according to BD’s records, BD
is not the Existing Holder of such shares.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Auction Procedures or the Settlement Procedures to
the contrary, in the event an Existing Holder or Beneficial Owner of shares of a series of APS with
respect to whom a Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid to the Auction Agent for such shares that was
accepted in whole or in part, or submitted or is deemed to have submitted a Sell Order for such
shares that was accepted in whole or in part, fails to instruct its Agent Member to deliver such
shares against payment therefore, partial deliveries of APS that have been made in respect of
Potential Holders’ or Potential Beneficial Owners’ Submitted Bids for shares of such series that
have been accepted in whole or in part shall constitute good delivery to such Potential Holders and
Potential Beneficial Owners.
