In accordance with the Fund’s Articles Supplementary Establishing and Fixing the Rights and Preferences of Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares, dated May 17, 2011 (the “Articles Supplementary”), the Fund hereby notifies the Liquidity Provider, the Remarketing Agent and the Holders of the VRDP Shares that the last day of the Special Rate Period has been extended from June 24, 2015 to June 22, 2016 in accordance with the terms of the Notice of Special Rate Period and the Fund has determined to amend the definition of “Ratings Spread” in the Notice of Special Rate Period, dated June 20, 2012 (the “Notice of Special Rate Period”).

The last day of the Special Rate Period shall be June 22, 2016, or such later date as the Special Rate Period may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Special Rate Period.

As of June 24, 2015, the definition of “Ratings Spread” in the Notice of Special Rate Period is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“Ratings Spread” means, with respect to an SRP Calculation Period, the percentage per annum set forth below opposite the highest applicable credit rating assigned to the VRDP Shares, unless the lowest applicable rating is below A3/A-, in which case the Ratings Spread shall mean the percentage per annum set forth below opposite the lowest applicable credit rating assigned to the VRDP Shares by Moody’s, Fitch or any Other Rating Agency, in each case rating the VRDP Shares at the request of the Fund, on the SRP Calculation Date for such SRP Calculation Period:
