The undersigned officers of BlackRock California Municipal Income Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, hereby certifies as follows:

Moody’s/Fitch*	Percentage
Aa2/AA to Aaa/AAA	0.85%
Aa3/AA-	0.95%

Baa3/BBB- to Baa1/BBB+	2.35%
Non-investment grade or NR	3.35%
* And/or the equivalent ratings of an Other Rating Agency then rating the VMTP Shares at the request of the Trust.

2. Except as amended hereby, the Statement of Preferences remains in full force and effect.
