PROXY STATEMENT

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation by the Board of Directors of Salomon Brothers Municipal Partners Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund (the “Meeting”) to be held at Citigroup Center, 153 East 53rd Street, New York, New York, 14th Floor Conference Center, on Friday, April 28, 2006, at 3:00 p.m., New York time (and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof) for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or about March 13, 2006. Stockholders who execute proxies retain the right to revoke them in person at the Meeting or by written notice received by the Secretary of the Fund at any time before they are voted. Unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the specifications thereon and, unless specified to the contrary, will be voted FOR the election of Directors. The close of business on March 1, 2006 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. For purposes of the Meeting, each holder of the Fund’s common and preferred stock (collectively, the “Capital Stock”), is entitled to one vote for each full share and an appropriate fraction of a vote for each fractional share held. On March 1, 2006, there were 5,757,094 shares of the Fund’s common stock outstanding and 800 shares of the Fund’s preferred stock outstanding.

In accordance with the Fund’s By-Laws, a quorum is normally constituted by the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s Capital Stock entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event that a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve any of the proposals are not received, the Meeting may be adjourned to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares represented at the Meeting in person or by proxy. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote FOR or AGAINST any such proposal in their discretion.

Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc (“SBAM”), whose principal business address is 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022, is the Fund’s investment adviser and administrator. SBAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason, Inc. (“Legg Mason”).

SUMMARY OF PROPOSALS

PROPOSAL		CLASS OF SHAREHOLDERS SOLICITED

1.	Election of Directors
	Carol L. Colman	Holders of preferred and common stock
	Leslie H. Gelb	Holders of preferred and common stock
	Dr. Riordan Roett	Holders of preferred stock

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

In accordance with the Fund’s charter, the Fund’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. Under the terms of the Fund’s charter, the holders of preferred stock are entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of common stock, to elect two Directors of the Fund (the “Preferred Share Directors”); and the Fund’s charter further sets forth that one of the two Preferred Share Directors shall be a Class I Director and the other shall be a Class II. The charter also provides that the remaining Directors shall be elected by holders of common stock and preferred stock voting together as a single class. At the Meeting, the holders of the Fund’s common stock and preferred stock voting together as a single class will be asked to elect two Class I Directors, Carol L. Colman and Leslie H. Gelb; and the holders of the Fund’s preferred stock voting as a separate class will be asked to elect one Class I Director, Dr. Riordan Roett. The terms of office of the Class II Directors and of the Class III Directors expire at the Annual Meetings of Stockholders in the year 2008 and 2007, respectively, or thereafter in each case when their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The effect of these staggered terms is to limit the ability of other entities or persons to acquire control of the Fund by delaying the replacement of a majority of the Board of Directors.

The persons named in the proxy intend to vote at the Meeting (unless directed not to vote) FOR the election of the nominees named below. The nominees have indicated that they will serve if elected, but if they should be unable to serve, the proxy will be voted for any other person determined by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their judgment.

The following table provides information concerning the dollar range of equity securities owned beneficially by each Director and nominee for election as Director as of December 31, 2005:

(1)	The dollar ranges are as follows: “A” = None; “B” = $1-$10,000; “C” = $10,001-$50,000; “D” = $50,001-$100,000; “E” = over $100,000.

(2)	Family of Investment Companies means any two or more registered investment companies that share the same investment adviser or principal underwriter or hold themselves out to investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services.

None of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act nor their immediate family members had any interest in SBAM, the Fund’s investment adviser, or person or entity (other than the Fund) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with SBAM as of December 31, 2005.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that the Fund is managed in the best interests of its stockholders. The Directors oversee the Fund’s business by, among other things, meeting with the Fund’s management and evaluating the performance of the Fund’s service providers including SBAM, the custodian and the transfer agent. As part of this process, the Directors consult with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm and with their own separate independent counsel.

The Board of Directors has four regularly scheduled meetings each year and additional meetings are scheduled as needed. In addition, the Board has an Audit Committee and a Nominating Committee which meet periodically during the year and whose responsibilities are described below.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors held four regular meetings and twelve special meetings. Each Director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees for which he or she was eligible. The Fund does not have a formal policy regarding attendance by Directors at annual meetings of stockholders. Mr. Gerken attended the Fund’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Directors review the Fund’s financial statements, performance and market price as well as the quality of the services being provided to the Fund. As part of this process, the Directors review the Fund’s fees and expenses to determine if they are reasonable and competitive in light of the services being received while also ensuring that the Fund continues to have access to high quality services in the future. Based on these reviews, the Directors periodically make suggestions to the Fund’s management and monitor to ensure that responsive action is taken. The Directors also monitor potential conflicts of interest among the Fund, SBAM and

its affiliates and other funds and clients managed by SBAM to ensure that the Fund is managed in a manner which is in the best interests of the Fund’s stockholders.

At March 1, 2006, the Nominees, Directors and officers of the Fund as a group beneficially owned less than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s Capital Stock. To the knowledge of management, no person owned of record, or owned beneficially, more than 5% of the Fund’s shares of Capital Stock outstanding at that date, except that Cede & Co., a nominee for participants in Depository Trust Company, held of record 5,340,586 shares, equal to approximately 92.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s Capital Stock. Also, pursuant to a Schedule 13D/A filing made on February 14, 2006, Karpus Management, Inc. beneficially owned 329,340 shares, equal to approximately 5.72% of the outstanding shares of the Fund’s Capital Stock as of that date.

The Fund’s executive officers are chosen each year at the first meeting of the Fund’s Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to hold office until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. In addition to Mr. Gerken, the Fund’s Chairman, the executive officers of the Fund currently are:

The Fund’s Audit Committee is composed of all Directors who have been determined not to be “interested persons” of the Fund, SBAM or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards. Currently, the Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Colman, Messrs. Cronin, Gelb, Hutchinson, Salacuse and Dr. Roett. The Board of Directors of the Fund has determined that all members of the Fund’s Audit Committee are financially literate. The principal functions of the Audit Committee are: to (a) oversee the scope of the Fund’s audit, the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting policies and practices and its internal controls and enhance the quality and objectivity of the audit function; (b) approve, and recommend to the Independent Board Members (as such term is defined in the Audit Committee Charter) for their ratification, the selection, appointment, retention or termination of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, as well as approving the compensation thereof; and (c) approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund and certain other persons by such independent registered public accounting firm. This Committee met six times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Fund adopted an amended Audit Committee Charter at a meeting held on February 3, 2006, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex A to the Fund’s proxy statement.

The Fund’s Nominating Committee, the principal function of which is to select and nominate candidates for election as Directors of the Fund, is currently composed of Ms. Colman, Messrs. Cronin, Gelb, Hutchinson, Salacuse and Dr. Roett. Only Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act and who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards are members of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee may accept nominees recommended by a stockholder as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send recommendations to the Fund’s Secretary that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Directors. A recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors and to serve if elected by the stockholders. The Nominating Committee did not meet during the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The Fund adopted a Nominating Committee Charter at a meeting held on January 20, 2004, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex B to the Fund’s proxy statement.

The Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees through its network of contacts, and may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then chooses a candidate by majority vote. The Nominating Committee does not have specific, minimum qualifications for nominees and has not established specific

qualities or skills that it regards as necessary for one or more of the Fund’s directors to possess (other than any qualities or skills that may be required by applicable law, regulation or listing standard). However, as set forth in the Nominating Committee Charter, in evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Director of the Fund, the Committee may consider the following factors, among any others it may deem relevant:

whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund;
whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment manager of the Fund, Fund service providers or their affiliates;
whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes;
whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Director of the Fund;
the contribution which the person can make to the Board and the Fund (or, if the person has previously served as a Director of the Fund, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant;
the character and integrity of the person; and
whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the Fund’s retirement policies.

Report of the Audit Committee

Pursuant to a meeting of the Audit Committee on February 21, 2006, the Audit Committee reports that it has: (i) reviewed and discussed the Fund’s audited financial statements with management; (ii) discussed with KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund, the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61; and (iii) previously received reaffirmation of written confirmation from KPMG that it is independent and written disclosures regarding such independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, and discussed with KPMG the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Pursuant to the Audit Committee Charter adopted by the Fund’s Board, the Audit Committee is responsible for conferring with the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing annual financial statements and recommending the selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee advises the full Board with respect to accounting, auditing and financial matters affecting the Fund. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and carrying out the proper audits and reviews of the Fund’s financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are not employed by the Fund accounting, financial management or internal control departments of SBAM. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no independent verification of the facts presented

to it or representations made by management or the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that the audit of the Fund’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on the review and discussions referred to in items (i) through (iii) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Fund’s annual report for the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Additional Matters

Special Shareholder Notice

On December 1, 2005, Citigroup completed the sale of substantially all of its asset management business, Citigroup Asset Management (“CAM”), to Legg Mason. As a result, the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Manager”), previously an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup, has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. Completion of the sale caused the Fund’s existing investment management contract to terminate. The Fund’s shareholders have now approved a new investment management contract between the Fund and the Manager which became effective on February 23, 2006.

Compensation

Under the federal securities laws, the Fund is required to provide to stockholders in connection with the Meeting information regarding compensation paid to Directors by the Fund, as well as by the various other investment companies advised by SBAM. The following table provides information concerning the compensation paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Certain of the Directors listed below are members of the Audit and Nominating Committees of the Fund and audit and other committees of certain other investment companies advised by SBAM and its affiliates, and accordingly, the amounts provided in the table include compensation for service on such committees. The Fund does not provide any pension or retirement benefits to Directors. In addition, no remuneration was paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 by the Fund to Mr. Gerken, who is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act.

(1)	Fund Complex means two or more Funds (a registrant or, where the registrant is a series company, a separate portfolio of the registrant) that hold them- selves out to investors as related companies for purposes of investment and investor services or have a common investment adviser or have an investment adviser that is an affiliated person of the investment of any of the other Funds.

(2)	The numbers in parentheses indicate the applicable number of investment company directorships held by that director.

(3)	In addition to the amounts set forth above, Messrs. Cronin, Gelb, Hutchinson, Roett and Salacuse and Ms. Colman received $95,500, $46,000, $163,450, $82,000, $86,500 and $171,750, respectively, during the calendar year ended December 31, 2005 for service as Directors in attending additional meet- ings relating to the approval of policies and procedures under Rule 38a-1, certain other regulatory issues and the consideration of new custody, transfer agency and accounting arrangements for the Fund. Those amounts were borne by SBAM and not the Fund.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act in combination require the Fund’s Directors and officers, persons who own more than 10 percent of the Fund’s Capital Stock, SBAM, and their respective directors and officers, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. The Fund believes that for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, all relevant persons have complied with applicable filing requirements.

The election of Dr. Roett as a Director requires a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of preferred stock of the Fund, voting as a separate class, present or represented by proxy at the meeting with a quorum present. The election of each of Mr. Gelb and Ms. Colman as Directors requires a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares of common stock and preferred stock, voting together as a single class, present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting at which a quorum is present. For purposes of the election of Directors, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast, and do not affect the plurality vote required for directors.

THE DIRECTORS, INCLUDING THE “NON-INTERESTED” DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Audit Fees. Effective June 17, 2005 PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) resigned as the Fund’s principal accountant (the “Auditor”). The Fund’s audit committee approved the engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as the Fund’s new principal accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The aggregate fees billed in the last two fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 (the “Reporting Period”) for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of the Fund’s annual financial statements, or services that are normally provided in connection with the statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the Reporting Periods, were $40,000 in 2004 and $40,000 in 2005. KPMG has not billed the Registrant for professional services rendered as of December 31, 2005.

Audit Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed by KPMG and PwC in connection with assurance and related services related to the annual audit of the Fund and for review of the Fund’s financial statements, other than the Audit Fees described above, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 were $32,000 and $8,255 in December 31, 2005.

In addition, there were no Audit Related Fees billed in the year ended December 31, 2005 for assurance and related services by KPMG or PwC, respectively, to SBAM and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with SBAM that provides ongoing services to the Fund (SBAM and such other entities together, the “Service Affiliates”), that were related to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Accordingly, there were no such fees that required pre-approval by the Audit Committee for the period May 6, 2003 to December 31, 2005 (prior to May 6, 2003 such services provided were not subject to pre-approval requirements).

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed by KPMG and PwC for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services, which include the filing and amendment of federal, state and local income tax returns, timely RIC qualification review, and tax distribution and analysis planning, rendered by KPMG or PwC, respectively, to the Fund for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 were $3,000 and December 31, 2005 were $3,000 for PwC. As of December 31, 2005 KPMG has not billed the Fund for any tax services rendered.

There were no fees billed by KPMG or PwC to the Service Affiliates for tax services for the period May 6, 2003 through December 31, 2005 that were required to be approved by the Fund’s Audit Committee.

All Other Fees. There were no other fees billed for other non-audit services rendered by KPMG or PwC to the Fund for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005.

There were no other non-audit services rendered by PwC or KPMG to SBAM, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with SBAM provided ongoing services to the Fund requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee in the Reporting Period.

Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Service Affiliates that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may implement policies and procedures by which such services are approved other than by the full Committee, but has not yet done so.

For the Fund the percentage of fees that were approved by the Audit Committee, with respect to: Audit-Related Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005; Tax Fees were 100% and 100% for the years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005; and for Other Fees paid were 100% for the Reporting Period.

The Audit Committee shall not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. As of the date of the approval of the Audit Committee Charter, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services), that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent registered public accounting firm, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.

Pre-approval by the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund and the Service Affiliates constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided to (a) the Fund, (b) SBAM and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with SBAM that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the Fund and Service Affiliates for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 was $6.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively. The aggregate non-audit fees billed by KPMG for services rendered to the Fund and Service Affiliates for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 was $75,000 and $0, respectively.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Service Affiliates that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee (because they did not require pre-approval) is compatible with maintaining PwC’s and KPMG’s independence. All services provided by PwC or KPMG to the Fund or to the Service Affiliates that were required to be approved by the Audit Committee were pre-approved.

A representative of KPMG, if requested by any stockholder, will be present via telephone at the Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she chooses to do so.

The Committee shall have the resources and authority appropriate to discharge its responsibilities, including the authority to retain, as it deems necessary to carry out its duties, special counsel and other experts or consultants at the expense of the Fund. The Fund shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for the Committee to carry out its duties and its responsibilities, including (a) for compensation to be paid to, or services to be provided by, the Fund’s independent registered public accountants or other public accounting firm providing audit, review or attest services for the Fund, (b) for payment of compensation to any outside legal, accounting or other advisors, counsel or consultants employed by the Committee and (c) for the ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee. In performing its duties, the Committee shall consult as it deems appropriate with the members of the Board, officers and employees of the Fund, the Adviser, the Fund’s sub-adviser(s), if any, the Fund’s counsel, counsel to the Independent Board Members and the Fund’s other service providers.

Composition

The Committee shall be composed of each Board member who has been determined not to be an “interested person,” as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), of the Fund (the “Independent Board Members”), or such lesser number as the Board of the Fund may specifically determine and reflect in the Board’s minutes, each of whom shall be financially literate and at least one of whom shall have accounting or related financial management expertise as determined by the Fund’s Board in its business judgment. Each member of the Committee must also meet the independence and experience requirements as set forth in the New York Stock Exchange’s Listed Company Manual or as set forth in the American Stock Exchange’s listing standards, as applicable, and the independence requirements applicable to investment companies set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For those Funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, no member of the Committee may serve on the audit committees of more than three public

A-3

companies, including the Funds, unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to serve on the Committee effectively. The Committee shall elect a Chairperson, who shall preside over Committee meetings. The Chairperson shall serve for a term of three years, which term may be renewed from time to time.

Meetings

The Committee shall meet on a regular basis, but not less frequently than twice a year. Special meetings may also be held upon reasonable notice to the members of the Committee. An agenda shall be established for each meeting. The Committee may request any officer or employee of the Fund, the Fund’s counsel, counsel to the Independent Board Members, the Adviser, the Fund’s independent registered public accountants or other interested persons to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The Committee will meet periodically with the Fund’s independent registered public accountants outside the presence of the Fund’s and the Adviser’s officers and employees. The Committee will also meet periodically with the Fund’s management outside the presence of the Fund’s independent registered public accountants. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, by telephone or by other appropriate means.

One-third of the Committee’s members, but not fewer than two members, shall constitute a quorum. At any meeting of the Committee, the decision of a majority of the members present and voting shall be determinative as to any matter submitted to a vote.

Reporting

The Chairperson shall report regularly to the Board on the result of the Committee’s deliberations and make such recommendations as deemed appropriate.

Limits on Role of Committee

The function of the Committee is oversight. The Fund’s management is responsible for (i) the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Fund’s financial statements, (ii) the maintenance of appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and (iii) the maintenance of internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent registered public accountants are responsible for planning and carrying out proper audits and reviews. In fulfilling their responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members of the Committee are not employees of the Fund. As such, it is not the duty or responsibility of the Committee or its members to conduct “field work” or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or procedures or to set auditor independence standards. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons and organizations within and outside the Fund from which it receives information and (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons and organizations absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Fund’s Board) and (iii) statements made by the officers and employees of the Fund, the Adviser or other third parties as to any information technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants to the Fund. The designation of a person as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of the rules adopted and implemented under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Committee, nor does it decrease the duties and obligations of other Committee members or the Board.

A-4

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Committee’s policies and procedures shall be adapted, as appropriate, in order to best react to a changing environment.

Amendments

This Charter may be amended by a vote of a majority of the Board members.

ANNEX B

NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHARTER

Organization

The Nominating Committee of each registered investment company listed on Appendix A hereto (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”) shall be composed solely of Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and, with respect to those Funds listed on the New York Stock Exchange, who are “independent” as defined in the New York Stock Exchange listing standards (“Independent Directors”). The Board of Directors of the Fund (the “Board”) shall nominate the members of the Committee and shall designate the Chairperson of the Committee. The Chairperson shall preside at each meeting of the Committee.

Responsibilities

The Committee shall select and nominate persons for election or appointment by the Board as Directors of the Fund.

Evaluation of Potential Nominees

In evaluating a person as a potential nominee to serve as a Director of the Fund, the Committee should consider among other factors it may deem relevant:

whether or not the person is an “interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act and whether the person is otherwise qualified under applicable laws and regulations to serve as a Director of the Fund;
whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment manager of the Fund, other Fund service providers or their affiliates;
whether or not the person serves on boards of, or is otherwise affiliated with, competing financial service organizations or their related mutual fund complexes;
whether or not the person is willing to serve, and willing and able to commit the time necessary for the performance of the duties of a Director of the Fund;
the contribution which the person can make to the Board and the Fund (or, if the person has previously served as a Director of the Fund, the contribution which the person made to the Board during his or her previous term of service), with consideration being given to the person’s business and professional experience, education and such other factors as the Committee may consider relevant;
the character and integrity of the person; and
whether or not the selection and nomination of the person would be consistent with the requirements of the Fund’s retirement policies.

While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of Directors, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by Fund stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Secretary of the Fund that include all information relating

B-1

to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board of Directors and to serve if elected by the stockholders.

Quorum

A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the members of the Committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Committee.

Nomination of Directors

After a determination by the Committee that a person should be selected and nominated as a Director of the Fund, the Committee shall present its recommendation to the full Board for its consideration.

Meetings

The Committee may meet either on its own or in conjunction with meetings of the Board. Meetings of the Committee may be held in person, video conference or by conference telephone. The Committee may take action by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.
