                              MUNIVEST FUND, INC.

                           CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION

     MuniVest Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Corporation"), hereby
sets forth the following information to correct an error of transcription in
the Corporation's Articles Supplementary creating five series of its Auction
Market Preferred Stock:

     1.   The title of the document being corrected is Articles Supplementary.

     2.   The name of each party to the document being corrected is MuniVest
Fund, Inc.

     3.   The date that the document being corrected was filed is December 7,
1988.

     4a.  The provision in the document as previously filed, the second
paragraph of Section 2(e) beginning on page 33, reads as follows:

          Cash payable pursuant to a Right shall be paid to the Rightholder
thereof in an amount which, when taken together with the aggregate
Nonqualifying Distributions paid to such Rightholder during any fiscal year,
would cause such Rightholder's net yield in dollars (after federal income tax
consequences) from the aggregate of both the Nonqualifying Distributions and
the cash receivable pursuant to such Right to be equal to the net yield in
dollars (after Federal income tax consequences) which would have been received
by such Rightholder if the amount of the aggregate Nonqualifying Distributions
would have qualified for the Dividends-Received Deduction in the hands of such
Rightholder. Such cash receivable on such Right shall be calculated without
consideration being given to the time value of money and using the applicable
maximum marginal corporate Federal tax rate in effect at the time such Right
was declared with respect to which such cash payable in satisfaction of such
Right is made.

     4b.   The provision in the document as corrected, the second paragraph of
Section 2(e) beginning on page 33, is:

     Cash payable pursuant to a Right shall be paid to the Rightholder thereof
in an amount which, when taken together with the aggregate Nonqualifying
Distribution paid to such Rightholder during any fiscal year, would cause such
Rightholder's net yield in dollars (after Federal income tax consequences)
from the aggregate of both the Nonqualifying Distributions and the cash
receivable pursuant to such right to be equal to the net yield in dollars
(after Federal income tax consequences) which would have been received by such
Rightholder if the amount of the aggregate Nonqualifying Distributions would
have been excludable from the gross income of such Rightholder. Such cash
receivable on such Right shall be calculated (i) without consideration being
given to the time value of money, (ii) assuming that no Rightholder is subject
to the alternative minimum tax with respect to dividends received from the
Corporation

<PAGE>

and (iii) assuming that each Nonqualifying Distribution would be taxable in
the hands of each Rightholder at the maximum Federal income tax rate in effect
during the fiscal year in question.

     5. The execution of the Articles Supplementary was not defective.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, MUNIVEST FUND, INC. has caused these presents to be
signed in its name and on its behalf by its President or one of its Vice
Presidents and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its
Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and the said officers of the Corporation
further acknowledge said instrument to be the corporate act of the
Corporation, and state under the penalties of perjury that to the best of
their knowledge, information and belief the matters and facts therein set
forth are true in all material respects, all on April 18, 1989.

ATTEST:                                  MUNIVEST FUND, INC.
