( 2)	The Reporting Persons are filing this Form 3/A to indicate that the Form 3 previously filed on January 15, 2010 (the "Original Form 3") was filed in error. The Original Form 3 was not required to be filed because the Reporting Persons were not as of the event date of the Original Form 3, and currently are not, beneficial owners of more than 10% of a class of equity securities of the Issuer.

Remarks: The Shares reported herein represent Bank of America's combined holdings in multiple series of auction rate preferred securities of the issuer, which are treated herein as one class of securities in accordance with the Auction Rate Securities--Global Exemptive Relief no-action letter issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on September 22, 2008.
