     The  following  constitutes  Amendment  No. 2  ("Amendment  No.  2") to the
Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule
13D as specifically set forth.

     Items 2 and 4 are hereby amended to add the following:

          The Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Issuer was held on November
29, 2005, at which time the shareholders of the Issuer approved a new investment
management contract between the Issuer and the Issuer's investment adviser. As a
result, the Issuer's investment adviser became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg
Mason,  Inc.  Accordingly,  the Section  13D group  comprised  of the  Reporting
Persons and Karpus has agreed to disband  effective  December 1, 2005. There are
currently no agreements  between the Reporting  Persons and Karpus regarding the
securities of the Issuer.  The Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group
statements  on  Schedule  13D with  respect  to their  beneficial  ownership  of
securities of the Issuer to the extent required by law.

     Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          The aggregate purchase price of the 537,600 Shares  beneficially owned
by WILLC is  approximately  $9,961,421,  including  brokerage  commissions.  The
Shares  beneficially  owned by WILLC were acquired  with the working  capital of
each of WIHP,  WIIP and WIAP.  The aggregate  purchase  price of the  additional
1,000  Shares  owned by Mr.  Lipson  is  approximately  $18,610.  The  aggregate
purchase price of the 254,500 Shares  beneficially owned by BPM is approximately
$4,646,642,  including brokerage  commissions.  The Shares beneficially owned by
BPM were acquired with the working capital of BPIP.

     Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a) The aggregate  percentage of Shares  reported owned by each person
named herein is based upon  11,069,242  Shares  outstanding,  which is the total
number of Shares  outstanding as of August 22, 2005, as reported in the Issuer's
Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
September 2, 2005.

          As of the close of business on December 14, 2005,  WIHP, WIIP and WIAP
beneficially   owned   327,100,   184,200  and  26,300   Shares,   respectively,
constituting  2.96%,  1.7%  and  less  than  1%,  respectively,  of  the  Shares
outstanding.  As the general partner or managing member,  as the case may be, of
WIHP, WIIP and WIAP,  WILLC may be deemed to beneficially own the 537,600 Shares
owned in the aggregate by WIHP, WIIP and WIAP,  constituting  approximately 4.9%
of the Shares  outstanding.  As the managing member of WILLC,  Mr. Lipson may be
deemed to beneficially  own the 537,600 Shares  beneficially  owned by WILLC, in
addition  to the  1,000  Shares  personally  owned by Mr.  Lipson,  constituting
approximately 4.9% of the Shares outstanding.
