1. Number of Authorized Shares.

(a) Authorized Shares. The number of authorized shares of VMTP Preferred Shares is 3,027.

(b) Capitalization. So long as any VMTP Preferred Shares are Outstanding, the Trust shall not, issue (i) any class or series of shares ranking prior to or on a parity with VMTP Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs, or (ii) any other “senior security” (as defined in the 1940 Act as of the Date of Original Issue) of the Trust other than the Trust’s use of tender option bonds, futures, forwards, swaps and other derivative transactions, except as may be issued in connection with any issuance of preferred shares or other senior securities some or all of the proceeds from which issuance are used to redeem all of the Outstanding VMTP Preferred Shares (provided that the Trust delivers the proceeds from such issuance necessary to redeem all of the Outstanding VMTP Preferred Shares to the Redemption and Paying Agent for investment in Deposit Securities for the purpose of redeeming such VMTP Preferred Shares and issues a Notice of Redemption and redeems such VMTP Preferred Shares as soon as practicable in accordance with the terms of this Statement of Preferences).
