ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT

AMENDING THE ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY ESTABLISHING

AND FIXING THE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF

VARIABLE RATE MUNI TERM PREFERRED SHARES

This is to certify that

First: The charter of BlackRock MuniHoldings Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), is amended by these Articles of Amendment, which amend the Articles Supplementary Establishing and Fixing the Rights and Preferences of Variable Rate Muni Term Preferred Shares, dated as of December 15, 2011 (the “Articles Supplementary”).

Second: The charter of the Corporation is hereby amended by deleting Section 10(b)(i)(A) and replacing it with the following:

(i) (A) Term Redemption. The Corporation shall redeem, out of funds legally available therefor and otherwise in accordance with Applicable Law, all Outstanding VMTP Preferred Shares on the Term Redemption Date at the Redemption Price; provided, however, the Corporation shall have the right, exercisable at any time no earlier than 9 months prior to the Term Redemption Date, to request that the Total Holders extend the term of the Term Redemption Date for an additional period as may be agreed upon by the Corporation and the Total Holders, which request may conditioned upon terms and conditions that are different from the terms and conditions herein. Each Holder shall, no later than the deadline specified in such request, which shall not be less than 30 days after such Holder’s receipt of such request unless otherwise agreed to by such Holder, notify the Corporation of its acceptance or rejection of such request, which acceptance by any such Holder may be a Conditional Acceptance conditioned upon terms and conditions which are different from the terms and conditions herein or the terms and conditions proposed by the Corporation in making an extension request. If any Holder fails to notify the Corporation of its acceptance or rejection of the Corporation’s request for extension by the deadline specified in such request, the Corporation may either deem such failure to respond as a rejection of such request or extend the deadline for such request with respect to such Holder, provided, however, in all cases any acceptance by a Holder of a request to extend, if any, shall be made pursuant to an affirmative written acceptance by the Total Holders. If the Total Holders (or any thereof) provide a Conditional Acceptance, then the Corporation shall, no later than the deadline specified in the Conditional Acceptance, which shall not be less than 30 days after the Corporation’s receipt of the Conditional Acceptance unless otherwise agreed to by the Corporation, notify the Total Holders of its acceptance or rejection of the terms and conditions specified in the Conditional Acceptance. If the Corporation fails to notify the Total Holders by the deadline specified in the Conditional Acceptance, the Total Holders may either deem such failure to respond as a rejection of the terms and conditions specified in the Conditional Acceptance or extend the deadline for such response by the Corporation, provided, however, in all cases any acceptance by a Holder of a request to extend, if any, shall be made pursuant to an affirmative written acceptance by the Total Holders.


Each Holder may grant or deny any request for extension of the Term Redemption Date in its sole and absolute discretion.

Third: These Articles of Amendment shall be effective as of June 30, 2015.

Fourth: The amendment to the charter of the Corporation as set forth above in these Articles of Amendment has been duly advised by the board of directors of the Corporation and approved by the stockholders of the Corporation as and to the extent required by law and in accordance with the charter of the Corporation.
