PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS/SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 26, 2005

     This document will give you the information you need to vote on the matters listed on the accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders/Shareholders ("Notice of Annual Meeting"). Much of the information in this joint proxy statement ("Proxy Statement") is required under rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); some of it is technical. If there is anything you don't understand, please contact us at our toll-free number, (800) 227-7BFM (7236).

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the respective Board of Directors or Trustees, as the case may be (the "Board"), of each of the Trusts of proxies to be voted at the Joint Annual Meeting of Stockholders/Shareholders of the Trusts to be held on Thursday, May 26, 2005, and any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). The Annual Meeting will be held at the New York East Side Marriott, 525 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, on May 26, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time). As used in the Notice of Annual Meeting and as used herein, the term "Directors" shall include Trustees, the term "shareholders" shall include stockholders and the term "share" shall include stock where the use of the terms "Trustees" or "stockholders" or "stock" would otherwise be appropriate. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting and the enclosed proxy card are first being sent to the Trusts' shareholders on or about April 21, 2005.

*    WHY IS A SHAREHOLDER MEETING BEING HELD?

     Because the common shares of each Trust are listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange that requires each Trust to hold an annual meeting of shareholders.

*    WHAT PROPOSALS WILL BE VOTED ON?

     In the first proposal, shareholders of all Trusts are being asked to elect nominees for the Board of each Trust in which they own shares (the "First Proposal").

     In the second proposal (the "Second Proposal"), proposal 2A, shareholders of the following Trusts are being asked to approve an amendment to the Declaration of Trust of each such Trust to change the maximum number of permitted Directors allowed on its respective Board to 11 ("Proposal 2A"):

BJZ	BQH	BCL	BSE	BDT	BNJ
BPK	BZA	BLE	BFO	BQY	BNY
BLH	BIE	BFY	BKK	BGT
BHK	BZM	BCK	BPP	BFZ

BBK	BHV	BYM	BDV	BFK

     In the Second Proposal, proposal 2B, shareholders of the following Trusts are being asked to approve an amendment to the Declaration of Trust of each such Trust to change the maximum number of permitted Directors allowed on its respective Board from 15 to 11 ("Proposal 2B"):

BHY  BGR  BRF  RFA 

Summary:
PROPOSALS	TRUST
#1 To elect Directors	All Trusts
#2A To amend the Trusts' Declaration of Trust	BJZ, BPK, BLH, BHK, BHD, BBK, BQH,
	BZA, BIE, BZM, BLJ, BHV, BCL, BLE,

or Articles of Incorporation, as appropriate

*    WILL MY VOTE MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

     YES!Your vote is important and will make a difference in the governance of the Trust(s), no matter how many shares you own.

*    WHO IS ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE?

     The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of each Trust for use at the Annual Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 26, 2005, and, if the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, at any later meetings, for the purposes stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting (see previous pages). The Notice of Annual Meeting, the proxy and this Proxy Statement are being mailed on or about April 21, 2005.

*    HOW DO THE TRUSTS' BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE ON THE PROPOSALS?

     Each Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each respective Proposal on which you are entitled to vote.

*    WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?

     Shareholders of record of each Trust at the close of business on February 28, 2005 are entitled to be present and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjourned or postponed meeting.

     Each share is entitled to one vote. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the proxy, but don't fill in a vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with your Board's recommendation. If any other business is brought before your Trust's Annual Meeting, your shares will be voted at your Board's discretion.

*    HOW MANY SHARES OF EACH TRUST WERE OUTSTANDING AS OF THE RECORD DATE?

     Appendix B sets forth the number of outstanding shares for each Trust at the close of business on February 28, 2005.

*    WHY DOES THIS PROXY STATEMENT LIST SEVERAL CLOSED-END FUNDS?

     The Trusts have at least one similar proposal and it is cost-efficient to have a joint proxy statement and one annual meeting. In the event that any shareholder present at the Annual Meeting objects to the holding of a joint meeting and moves for an adjournment of his or her Trust's meeting to a time immediately after the Annual Meeting so that such Trust's meeting may be held separately, the persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment. Shareholders of each Trust will vote separately on the respective Proposals relating to their Trust. In any event, an unfavorable vote on any Proposal by the shareholders of one Trust will not affect the implementation of such Proposal by another Trust if the Proposal is approved by the shareholders of that Trust.

The Proposals

*    FIRST PROPOSAL: TO ELECT DIRECTORS

      WHO ARE THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS?

     The Directors of the Trusts are classified into three classes of Directors: Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class has a term of three years. The term of office of one class of Directors is expiring for each Trust and the Directors of the respective Trust whose current terms are expiring are being nominated for election at the Annual Meeting. In addition, some Directors have been appointed to fill vacancies created since the last annual meeting and certain of these Directors are being nominated for election as required by law.

The following table sets forth the class and nominees to be voted on by each Trust. Each nominee's background is described in further detail below.

				DIRECTORS			ADDITIONAL
				STANDING FOR ELECTION			NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS
				Class I Directors	Class II Directors	Class III Directors
				Richard E. Cavanagh(1)	Frank J. Fabozzi(1)	Andrew F. Brimmer	Joining as Class I Director	Joining as Class II

(1)	To be elected by holders of preferred shares only, except that, for BCT, BAT, BKT, BNA, BDT, BQY, BHK, BHD, BLW and BDV which do not have preferred shares, to be elected by holders of common shares.
(2)	Normal scheduled class of directors standing for election.
(3)	The election of Ms. Feldstein to the Board of each of these Trusts is contingent upon the shareholders of the respective Trust approving Proposal 2A as set forth in this Proxy Statement, the approval of which would increase the maximum number of Directors permitted for the respective Trust and permit Ms. Feldstein to join the respective Boards as a Class II Director.
(4)	All of these trusts are organized as Maryland corporations. Under Maryland law, directors who have been appointed by a board of directors since the prior annual shareholders' meeting to fill a vacancy on the Boards must be nominated for election at the next shareholders' meeting.

     The holders of any Trust's preferred shares will have equal voting rights with the holders of that Trust's common shares (i.e., one vote per share), and will vote together with the holders of common shares as a single class on the proposal to elect Directors, except that the holders of preferred shares of each Trust which is electing Class I or II Directors at this Annual Meeting, voting separately as a class, will elect the preferred shares Director from each of such classes. The two Directors that have been designated as representing the holders of each respective Trust's preferred shares are Messrs. Cavanagh and Fabozzi.

3

     In addition, under Maryland law, directors who have been appointed by a board of directors since the prior annual shareholders' meeting to fill a vacancy on the Boards must be nominated for election at the next shareholders' meeting. On November 16, 2004, the Board of each Trust increased the size of each Board and appointed Mr. Hubbard to fill the vacancy created by such increase. Therefore, Mr. Hubbard is being nominated for election with respect to BKN, BRM, BFC, BLN, BCT, BAT, RAA, RNJ and RNY, even though he is not in the class of Directors standing for election, because these Trusts are organized as Maryland corporations.

     On December 23, 2004, the Board of each Trust approved adding Ms. Feldstein to each Board as of January 19, 2005. The charters of BKT, BNA, BMN, BMT, BGR, RNY, RNJ, RFA, RAA, BCT, BAT, BKN, BRM, BFC, BRF, BLN and BHY (the "Expanded Board Trusts") permitted the Board of each Expanded Board Trust to increase the size of the Boards of those Trusts and to appoint Ms. Feldstein to fill the vacancy created by such increases as of January 19, 2005. Each of the Expanded Board Trusts (other than BGR, RFA, BRF and BHY) is a Maryland corporation, however, and therefore Ms. Feldstein (a Class II Director of each Trust) is being nominated for election even if such Trust is not voting for Class II Directors at this meeting.

     The Board of each Trust that was not expanded to add Ms. Feldstein already had the maximum number of Directors permitted under its charter, so the Boards of those Trusts could not appoint Ms. Feldstein as a Director of those Trusts. Instead, the Board of each such Trust formed an advisory board and appointed Ms. Feldstein to serve as an advisory board member as of January 19, 2005, until they could seek shareholder approval to amend their charters to increase the maximum number of Directors, which proposal is included as Proposal 2A in this Proxy Statement. Ms. Feldstein is being nominated for election with respect to each of these other Trusts, even if she is not in the class of Directors standing for election, because the vacancy which she is filling will be created at the Annual Meeting if Proposal 2A is approved and, as a result, Section 16(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "40 Act"), requires her to be nominated for election at this meeting. If Proposal 2A is not approved at this Annual Meeting for a Trust, Ms. Feldstein will not serve as a Director of such Trust that is not an Expanded Board Trust, even if she receives sufficient votes to be elected under this Proposal.

     Each Director elected will hold office for three years and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified, except that Mr. Hubbard and Ms. Feldstein will serve until the end of the term for the class of Directors to which they were appointed, if such class is not standing for election at this meeting. The other Directors of the Trusts will continue to serve under their current terms. The other classes will be elected at subsequent annual meetings of shareholders.

     BAT and BCT each hold substantially all of their assets in their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, BAT Subsidiary Inc. ("BATS") and BCT Subsidiary Inc. ("BCTS"). The Board of each wholly owned subsidiary is identical to the Board of its respective parent company. Accordingly, nominees elected as Directors of BAT and BCT, respectively, will be appointed by BAT and BCT, respectively, to serve as Directors of BATS and BCTS, respectively, each of which has investment objectives and policies identical to BAT and BCT, respectively.

     Certain information concerning the nominees for each of the Trusts is set forth in the table below. All of the nominees are currently Directors of each of the Trusts, including BATS and BCTS, and have served in such capacity since each of the Trusts commenced their respective operations, except for the following exceptions:

• Mr. Richard E. Cavanagh has served as Director since his appointment by the Boards of BKN, BRM, BFC, BRF, BLN, BCT,BKT, BAT, BMN, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BNA and BMT on August 11, 1994 to fill a vacancy;
  
  
• Mr. James Clayburn La Force, Jr. has served as Director since his election at the Trusts' annual meeting of shareholders on June19, 1992 with respect to BKT, BAT, BMN, BNA and BMT;
  
  
• Mr. Walter F. Mondale, who was previously a Director of BKN, BRM, BFC, BLN, BCT, BKT, BAT, BMN, BMT, RFA, RAA,RNJ, RNY, BNA and BRF from inception to August 12, 1993, has served as Director since his election at the Trusts' annualmeeting of shareholders on April 15, 1997, except that he resigned on October 31, 2002 to run for the U.S. Senate and wassubsequently reappointed by the Boards on November 12, 2002, and was re-elected by the shareholders of BKN, BRM, BFC,BLN, BCT, BKT, BAT, BMN, BMT, RAA, RNJ, RNY and BNA on May 22, 2003;
  
  
• Mr. Robert S. Kapito was appointed by the Boards on August 22, 2002 to fill a vacancy;
  
  
• Mr. R. Glenn Hubbard was appointed to the Board of each Trust November 23, 2004; and
  
  
• Ms. Kathleen F. Feldstein was appointed to the Expanded Board Trusts as of January 19, 2005 and also was appointed as anadvisory board member on the remaining 33 Trusts as of January 19, 2005.

DO THE TRUSTS HAVE ANY COMMITTEES?

     Yes. The Trusts' Directors have determined that the efficient conduct of the Trusts' affairs makes it desirable to delegate responsibility for certain specific matters to committees of the Boards. The committees meet as often as necessary, either in conjunction with regular meetings of the Directors or otherwise. The Governance Committee appoints the members and chairperson of the Audit Committee and the chairperson of the Governance Committee.

7

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

     Each Trust has an Executive Committee composed of Messrs. Schlosstein and Kapito, which acts on behalf of the full Board on certain matters in the interval between meetings of the Board.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

     Each of the Trusts has an Audit Committee, composed of four of the Independent Directors, which is charged with selecting a firm of independent registered public accountants for its respective Trust and reviewing accounting matters with the accountants.

     The Audit Committee of each Trust presents the following report:

     The Audit Committee of each Trust has performed the following functions: (i) the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements of each Trust with management of each respective Trust, (ii) the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, (iii) the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by ISB Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence and (iv) the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors of each Trust that the financial statements be included in each Trust's Annual Report for the past fiscal year.

     The members of the Audit Committee of each Trust are Messrs. Brimmer (Chairman of the Audit Committee), Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi, all of whom are Independent Directors. The Board of each Trust has determined that each Trust has two audit committee financial experts serving on its Audit Committee, Dr. Brimmer and Mr. Dixon, both of whom are independent for the purpose of the definition of audit committee financial expert as applicable to the Trusts. The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which was revised on February 19, 2005 and is attached hereto as Appendix C.

AUDIT COMMITTEE
Andrew Brimmer (Chairman)
Richard E. Cavanagh
Kent Dixon
Frank J. Fabozzi

GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

     Each of the Trusts has a Governance Committee, which also performs the functions normally performed by a nominating committee. The Governance Committee is composed of all of the Independent Directors. The 40 Act requires that the Trusts have a minimum proportion of directors who are not affiliated in any way with the investment manager, principal underwriter or any broker-dealer of the Trusts. These Independent Directors must vote separately to approve all financial arrangements and other agreements with the Trusts' investment manager and other affiliated parties. Each Trust's Independent Directors meet regularly as a group in executive session as the Governance Committee. As part of its duties, the Governance Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of each Trust with respect to candidates for the Board and with respect to the compensation of Directors. The Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by shareholders, the Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Governance Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Governance Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in writing and must include:

• The name of the shareholder and evidence of the person's ownership of shares of the applicable Trust(s),including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership; and
  
  
• The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a Director ofthe Trust(s) and the person's consent to be named as a Director if selected by the Governance Committee andnominated by the Board.

     The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary, c/o BlackRock, P.O. Box 4546, New York, New York 10163, and must be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the Trust's most recent annual meeting of shareholders (which will be no later than January 26, 2006,

8

for next year's Annual Meeting). The Governance Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a Director of the Trust(s) are that a candidate demonstrate, by significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful contribution to the Board's oversight of the business and affairs of the Trust(s) and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition, the Governance Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills, time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of interest and independence from management and the Trust(s). The Governance Committee also seeks to have the Board represent a diversity of backgrounds and experience.

     The Joint Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts is available at BlackRock's website at http://www.blackrock.com/indiv/products/closedendfunds/corpgov.html.

* DO THE TRUSTS HAVE A POLICY WITH RESPECT TO THE ATTENDANCE OF DIRECTORS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?

     It is the Trusts' policy to encourage Directors to attend the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting on May 26, 2004, all of the Trusts' Directors serving at that time were present.

* HOW CAN THE TRUSTS' SHAREHOLDERS SEND COMMUNICATIONS TO THE DIRECTORS?

     Shareholders and other interested parties may contact the Boards or any member of the Boards by mail or electronically. To communicate with the Boards or any member of the Boards, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or the Board members with whom you wish to communicate by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent c/o Secretary of the applicable Trust or Trusts at P.O. Box 4546, New York, New York 10163. Shareholders may communicate with the Boards electronically by sending an email to closedendfundsbod@blackrock.com.

* HOW MANY SHARES OF THE TRUSTS DO THE DIRECTORS OWN?

     The chart attached hereto as Appendix D lists the number of shares beneficially owned by the Directors and the number of share equivalents owned by the Directors pursuant to the Directors' deferred compensation plan.

* HOW OFTEN DO THE DIRECTORS MEET?

     Six meetings of the Boards of each of BZA, BIE, BZM, BBK, BLJ, BQH, BHV, BLE, BCL, BFY, BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE were held during their last fiscal year between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004. Eight meetings of the Boards of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RNJ, RNY, BHK, RFA, BBF, BFK, BFZ, BNJ, BLW and BNY were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2003 and October 31, 2004. Eight meetings of the Boards of each of BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRM, BAT, BRF, BJZ, BLH, BKK, BFO, BPP and BPK were held during their last fiscal year between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004.

     Six meetings of the Audit Committees of each of BZA, BIE, BZM, BBK, BLJ, BQH, BHV, BLE, BCL, BFY, BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE were held during their last fiscal year between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004. Six meetings of the Audit Committees of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BFK, BFZ, BBF, BNJ, BNY, BLW and BHK were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2003 and October 31, 2004. Seven meetings of the Audit Committees of each of BPK, BJZ, BLH, BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRF, BRM, BAT, BKK, BFO and BPP were held during their last fiscal year between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004.

     Five meetings of the Governance Committees of each of BZA, BIE, BZM, BBK, BLJ, BQH, BHV, BLE, BCL, BFY, BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE were held during their last fiscal year between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004. Five meetings of the Governance Committees of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BFK, BFZ, BBF, BNJ, BNY, BLW and BHK were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2003 and October 31, 2004. Five meetings of the Governance Committees of each of BPK, BJZ, BLH, BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRF, BRM, BAT, BKK, BFO and BPP were held between their last fiscal year from January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004.

     During each Trust's last full fiscal year, each Director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of: (i) all regular meetings of the Board of each Trust (held during the period for which the Director served on the Board); and (ii) all meetings of all committees of the Board of each Trust on which the Director served (during the periods that the Director served).

9

     Annual meeting information and Directors' attendance for BGR, BDT, BQY, BDV and BGT have not been provided because such Trusts have not been in operation for a full fiscal year.

* WHAT ARE THE DIRECTORS PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES?

     The following table sets forth certain information regarding the compensation of the Trusts' Directors (other than the "interested" Directors (as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 40 Act) who do not receive a salary from the Trusts):

	TOTAL COMPENSATION FROM THE FUND
NAME OF DIRECTOR	COMPLEX PAID TO DIRECTORS(1)
Andrew F. Brimmer	$	270,000	(2)(3)(4)
Richard E. Cavanagh	$	210,000	(2)(4)
Kent Dixon	$	210,000	(2)(4)
Frank J. Fabozzi	$	203,333	(2)(4)
Kathleen F. Feldstein	$	0	(5)
R. Glenn Hubbard	$	11,875	(6)
James Clayburn La Force, Jr.	$	190,000	(2)
Walter F. Mondale	$	190,000	(2)

(1)	Represents the total compensation earned by such persons during the calendar year ended December 31, 2004, from the Fund Complex.
(2)	Represents the aggregate compensation earned by such persons during the calendar year ended December 31, 2004. Of this amount, Dr. Brimmer, Mr. Cavanagh, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Ms. Feldstein, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. La Force and Mr. Mondale deferred $50,000, $50,000, $50,000, $43,333, $0, $11,875, $190,000 and $30,000, respectively, pursuant to the Fund Complex's deferred compensation plan (described below).
(3)	Dr. Brimmer serves as "lead independent director" for each Board in the Fund Complex. For his services as lead independent director, Dr. Brimmer is compensated in the amount of $50,000 per annum by the Fund Complex allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on each Trust's relative net assets. Dr. Brimmer receives an additional $30,000 per annum from the Fund Complex for his service as the Audit Committee Chairman of the Fund Complex.
(4)	Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi serve on the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex and for their service receive an additional $20,000 per annum, allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on their relative net assets.
(5)	Ms. Feldstein joined each Trust as a Director or an advisory board member as of January 19, 2005, and therefore received no compensation in 2004.
(6)	Mr. Hubbard was appointed to each Board as of November 16, 2004. The annual fee paid by each Trust to Mr. Hubbard was pro rated for the 46 days of 2004 he served on the Boards.

     During the last fiscal year, each Independent Director received an annual fee calculated as follows: (i) $6,000 from each Trust in the Fund Complex and (ii) $1,000 for each meeting of each Board in the Fund Complex attended by such Independent Director. The total annual aggregate compensation for each Independent Director was capped at $190,000 per annum, except that Dr. Brimmer received an additional $45,000 ($50,000 per annum pro-rated for mid-year compensation increases) from the Fund Complex for acting as the lead independent director for each Board in the Fund Complex and an additional $15,000 ($30,000 per annum pro-rated for mid-year compensation increases) from the Fund Complex for acting as the Audit Committee Chairman of the Fund Complex and Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh and Dixon received an additional $20,000 per annum, and Mr. Fabozzi received an additional $13,333 ($20,000 per annum pro-rated for appointment to the Audit Committee) mid-year from the Fund Complex for their service on the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex. This additional compensation to Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh, Dixon and Fabozzi was allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on their relative net assets. In the event that the $190,000 cap was met with respect to an Independent Director, the amount of the Independent Director's fee borne by each Trust in the Fund Complex was reduced by reference to the net assets of the Trust relative to the other Trusts in the Fund Complex. In addition, the attendance fees of each Independent Director of the Trusts were reduced proportionately, based on each respective

10

Trust's net assets, so that the aggregate per meeting fee for all meetings of the Boards of the Trusts (excluding the per annum Audit Committee fee) held on a single day did not exceed $15,834 for any Independent Director.

     The following Directors fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal year from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004:

BAT	$17,100	BMN	$72,200		BPP	$56,400
BRM	$78,700	BGT	$20,000	(1)	BKK	$40,300
BLN	$27,800	BMT	$41,700
BFC	$26,000	BJZ	$13,500
BRF	$20,900	BPK	$33,300
BFO	$13,200	BLH	$12,800

(1) BGT accrual does not represent a full fiscal year because the Trust was formed during the prior fiscal year.

     The following Directors fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal year from November 1, 2003 to October 31, 2004:

BHY	$12,400		RNY	$12,500		BHK	$58,200
BCT	$13,000		BKN	$36,700		BHD	$13,900
RAA	$12,500		BNA	$59,800		BFK	$79,800
RFA	$12,500		BBF	$14,300		BNJ	$15,700
BFZ	$30,700		BNY	$26,700		BLW	$80,200
RNJ	$12,500		BKT	$78,300		BDV	$67,300	(2)
BDT	$39,400	(2)	BQY	$  6,400	(2)

(2) BDV, BDT and BQY accruals do not represent a full fiscal year because the Trust was formed during the prior fiscal year. BGR was not yet formed during this time period.

     The following Directors fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal year from September 1, 2003 to August 31, 2004:

BBK	$21,200	BHV	$12,400	BYM	$54,500
BZA	$12,800	BLE	$45,400	BCK	$13,200
BIE	$12,800	BCL	$16,100	BAF	$18,300
BZM	$12,400	BLJ	$12,400	BSE	$13,500
BQH	$12,800	BFY	$13,200

     None of the Directors received any pension or retirement benefits. Under the deferred compensation plan (the "Plan") approved by each Trust's Board, Independent Directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of their annual compensation. As of January 1, 2003, the Board elected to require its Independent Directors to defer a portion of their annual compensation pursuant to the Plan. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain BlackRock closed-end Trusts selected by the Directors. This has the same economic effect for the Directors as if the Directors had invested the deferred amounts in such Trusts. The Plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of the Trust. Each Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by the Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.

     The Independent Directors have voluntarily agreed that at least $30,000 of their $190,000 base fee will be mandatorily deferred pursuant to the Plan. Also, members of the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex are required to defer all of the $20,000 base per annum fee they will receive for their services on the Audit Committee pursuant to the Plan.

     None of the officers of the Trusts received any compensation, including pension or retirement benefits, from the Trusts for such period. Messrs. Schlosstein, Kapito, Gabbay, Klingert, Kong, Gary, Shea, Tritto, Battista, Kindelan and Ms. Ackerley, officers of the Trusts, are also affiliated with the Advisor or its affiliates. They receive compensation from the Advisor or one of its affiliates, although under the terms of the investment advisory agreements some portion of their compensation could be

11

reimbursable by a particular Trust to the extent such person's working time (other than time related to providing investment advisory services) is devoted to certain of that particular Trust's operations.

* HOW LARGE A STAKE DO THE DIRECTORS HAVE IN THE TRUSTS?

     The Directors believe each Director should have a beneficial investment in the BlackRock closed-end Trusts. The Directors allocate their investments among the 52 active BlackRock closed-end Trusts based on their own investment needs. The table attached at Appendix E to this Proxy Statement sets forth the dollar range of equity securities beneficially owned and share equivalents held by each Director in all of the BlackRock closed-end Trusts represented in this Proxy Statement as of February 28, 2005.

* WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THIS PROPOSAL?

     The affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares present for each Trust at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is necessary to approve Proposal 1 for each respective Trust.

* HOW DO THE DIRECTORS RECOMMEND I VOTE ON THIS PROPOSAL?

     THE BOARD OF EACH TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE DIRECTORS NOMINATED UNDER PROPOSAL 1.

*SECOND PROPOSAL:PROPOSAL 2A: FOR EACH OF BJZ, BPK, BLH, BHK, BHD, BBK, BQH, BZA, BIE, BZM, BLJ, BHV, BCL, BLE, BFY, BCK, BAF, BYM, BSE, BFO, BKK, BPP, BLW, BDV, BDT, BQY, BGT, BFZ, BBF, BFK, BNJ AND BNY TO AMEND ITS DECLARATION OF TRUST, TO CHANGE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERMITTED DIRECTORS ALLOWED ON ITS RESPECTIVE BOARD TO 11

     The Board of each Trust has adopted a mandatory retirement age applicable to its members that requires a Director to retire on December 31st following the Director's 75th birthday, subject to certain exceptions, including an extension of the retirement age if unanimously approved by the members of the Governance Committee. Because three members of the Boards (Dr. Brimmer and Messrs. LaForce and Mondale) currently serve pursuant to such exceptions, the Governance Committee recently has concluded that it would be in the best interests of each Trust to elect new Directors to each Board, in order to permit the new Directors to become familiar with the operations of the Boards and to generally provide for an orderly transition, prior to any potential retirements.

     To this end, based on the recommendation of the Governance Committee, the Directors appointed Mr. Hubbard to serve as the ninth Director of each Board on November 16, 2004.

     On December 23, 2004, the Directors also appointed Ms. Feldstein to serve, as of January 19, 2005, as the 10th Director of the Board of each Expanded Board Trust (as defined in Proposal 1). Each of these Trusts currently permits a maximum of 15 Directors on its Board.

     The Declaration of Trust of each Trust submitting this Proposal 2A to its shareholders (the "Proposal 2A Trusts") currently permits a maximum of nine Directors. In order to obtain the benefit of Ms. Feldstein's knowledge and experience for all of the Trusts and to permit her to become familiar with the operations of the Board of each Trust, the Board of each Proposal 2A Trust formed an advisory board and appointed Ms. Feldstein to serve each Proposal 2A Trust as an advisory board member. At that time, the Board of each Proposal 2A Trust also approved amending its Declaration of Trust or Articles of Incorporation, as appropriate, to increase the maximum number of Directors to 11, so that Ms. Feldstein could seek to be elected to its Board and to allow for an additional director to be elected in the future. Such an amendment, however, requires the approval of shareholders of the respective Proposal 2A Trusts, so the Board of each Proposal 2A Trust also approved submitting the amendment to shareholders of each Proposal 2A Trust. In addition, Ms. Feldstein has been nominated by each Board to serve as a Director of each Trust voting on Class II Directors at the meeting and each other Trust for which her nomination was required by law, as set forth in Proposal 1 of this Proxy Statement, where biographical information about Ms. Feldstein may be found.

     If Proposal 2A is approved by the shareholders of a Proposal 2A Trust, the Declaration of Trust of such Trust will be amended to increase the maximum number of Directors to 11. Ms. Feldstein, however, will serve as a Director of such Trust only if she also is elected a Director under Proposal 1. Ms. Feldstein's election to the Board of a Trust would not increase the expenses of such a Trust, because Ms. Feldstein currently receives the same compensation as an advisory board member as she would receive as a Director.

12

     The holders of the preferred shares, if any, and the holders of the common shares of a Proposal 2A Trust are entitled to vote on Proposal 2A as a single class. Approval of Proposal 2A for a Trust requires the affirmative vote of (i) 67% or more of the shares present for such Trust at the meeting, if holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Trust are present at the meeting or represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such Trust, whichever is less, is required to approve this proposal.

     THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 2A TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL 2A.

*PROPOSAL 2B: FOR EACH OF BHY, BGR, BRF AND RFA TO AMEND ITS DECLARATION OF TRUST TO REDUCE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PERMITTED DIRECTORS ALLOWED ON ITS BOARD FROM 15 TO 11

     The Declaration of Trust of each Trust submitting this Proposal 2B to its shareholders (the "Proposal 2B Trusts") currently permits a maximum of fifteen (15) Directors. The Directors believe that consistency among the Trusts generally enhances efficiency in administering the various Trusts. To this end, the Directors believe that creating a uniform maximum number of Directors for all of the Trusts is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Trusts, including the Proposal 2B Trusts. In order to achieve uniformity in the closed-end fund family (assuming Proposal 2A is passed by each Proposal 2A Trust), it is necessary for each Proposal 2B Trust to reduce the maximum number of Directors permitted to serve on its Board to 11. Such an amendment, however, requires the approval of shareholders of the respective Proposal 2B Trust, so the Board of each Proposal 2B Trust has approved submitting this proposal to shareholders of each Proposal 2B Trust. If Proposal 2B is approved by the shareholders of a Proposal 2B Trust, the Declaration of Trust of such Trust will be amended to reduce the maximum number of Directors to 11.

     The holders of the preferred shares, if any, and the holders of the common shares of a Proposal 2B Trust are entitled to vote on Proposal 2B as a single class. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Proposal 2B Trust is necessary to approve Proposal 2B for the respective Trust.

     THE BOARD OF EACH PROPOSAL 2B TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THIS PROPOSAL 2B.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

     The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by each Trust in proportion to the amount of proxies solicited on behalf of a Trust bears to the total proxies solicited on behalf of all of the Trusts. In addition, certain officers, directors and employees of each of the Trusts and the Advisor, located at 100 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809, (none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor) may solicit proxies by telephone or mail. Also, certain of the Trusts may employ The Altman Group, Inc. pursuant to its standard contract as proxy solicitor, the cost of which will be borne proportionately by each of the Trusts and is estimated to be approximately $2,500 per Trust.

     Abstentions will be counted as shares present at the Annual Meeting and will not affect the result of the vote on Proposal 1. Abstentions on Proposals 2A and 2B will have the same effect as a negative vote. Broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the result of the vote on Proposal 1. Broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a negative vote on Proposals 2A and 2B.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act require each Trust's officers and Directors, officers and directors of the Trusts' investment advisor, affiliated persons of the investment advisor, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Trusts' shares to file certain reports of ownership ("Section 16 filings") with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange (as applicable) and each of the Trusts. Based upon each Trust's review of the copies of such forms effecting the Section 16 filings received by it, each Trust believes that for its fiscal year ended in 2004, all filings applicable to such persons were completed and filed, except as set forth below. During fiscal year 2004, it came to the attention of the Trusts that due to an administrative oversight, a Form 3 was filed late on behalf of Anne Ackerley for BGR, a Form 4 was filed late on behalf of Andrew Brimmer for BDV and a Form 4 was filed late on behalf of James LaForce for BDV.

     Generally, the Trusts do not receive any non-public personal information relating to their shareholders, although certain non-public personal information of their shareholders may become available to the Trusts. The Trusts do not disclose any non-public personal information about their shareholders or former shareholders to anyone, except as permitted by law or as is necessary in order to service shareholder accounts (for example, to a transfer agent or third party administrator).

20

     The Trusts restrict access to non-public personal information about the shareholders to employees of the Advisor with a legitimate business need for the information. The Trusts maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards designed to protect the non-public personal information of their shareholders.

DEADLINE FOR SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order for proposals made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered "timely" within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received by a Trust at the Trust's principal executive offices not later than March 7, 2006.

APPENDIX C

JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
OF
THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS

AS APPROVED BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
FEBRUARY 2005¹

I. PURPOSE OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The purpose of the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Trustees/Directors (the "Board") of each BlackRock Closed-End Fund and BlackRock Bond Allocation Target Shares (each a "Trust")² is to provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, auditing, financial reporting and internal control functions of the Trust, including, without limitation, (a) assisting the Board's oversight of (i) the integrity of the Trust's financial statements, (ii) the Trust's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and (iii) the qualifications and independence of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm (the "Independent Auditor"), and (b) preparing the report required to be prepared by the Audit Committee pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for inclusion in the Trust's annual proxy statement, if any.

II. COMPOSITION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee shall be comprised of three or more trustees/directors as determined from time to time by resolution of the Trust's Governance Committee. Each member of the Audit Committee shall be qualified to serve on the Audit Committee pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes - Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act and by the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") or the American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX"), as applicable. Each member of the Audit Committee shall be "independent" as defined by the rules promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act and the NYSE or AMEX listing standards depending on the securities exchange on which the respective Trust's common shares are listed for trading. If a Trust's common shares are not listed for trading on a securities exchange, the members of that Trust's Audit Committee shall be "independent" as defined by the NYSE listing standards.

     According to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act and by the NYSE, a member is independent if he or she, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Board, the Audit Committee or any other board committee, (a) does not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Trust, other than receipt of pension or other forms of deferred compensation from the Trust for prior service, so long as such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service, and (b) is not an "interested person" of the Trust (an "Independent Trustee") as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act").

     According to the AMEX listing standards, a member is independent if he or she is not an officer or employee of the Trust or a person having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and (a) is not employed by the Trust or BlackRock during the current year or any of the past three years, (b) did not receive compensation from the Trust or BlackRock in excess of $60,000 during the previous year, other than as compensation for board service, benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation, (c) does not have an immediate family member who is, or has been in any of the past three years, employed by the Trust or BlackRock, (d) is not a partner in, or controlling shareholder or executive officer of, any for-profit business organization

1

This Joint Audit Committee Charter, if adopted, supercedes and replaces all prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.

2

Solely for the sake of clarity and simplicity, this Joint Audit Committee Charter has been drafted as if there is a single Trust, a single Audit Committee, a single Governance Committee and a single Board. The terms "Audit Committee," "Governance Committee," "Independent Trustees" and "Board" mean the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, Independent Trustees and the Board of each Trust, respectively, unless the context otherwise requires. The Audit Committee, the Governance Committee and the Board of each Trust, however, shall act separately and in the best interests of its respective Trust.

C-1

which received payments from or made payments to the Trust in excess of the greater of 5% of such organization's gross revenue or $200,000 in any of the past three years, and (e) is not employed as an executive of another entity for which any of the Trust's or BlackRock's executives serve on that entity's compensation committee.

     No member of the Board may serve as a member of the Audit Committee if the member serves on the audit committee of more than two other public companies, unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of the member to effectively serve on the Audit Committee.

     Each member of the Audit Committee must be "financially literate" (as such term is defined from time-to-time by the NYSE/AMEX rules) as such qualification is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the Audit Committee. In addition, at least one member of the Audit Committee must have "accounting or related financial management expertise" (as such term is defined by the NYSE rules) as the Board interprets such qualification in its business judgment. Further, either (a) at least one member of the Audit Committee must be determined to be an "audit committee financial expert" (as such term is defined in the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act) by the Board, or (b) if no member of the Audit Committee is an "audit committee financial expert," such fact must be disclosed in the Trust's annual report filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee shall recommend to the Board whether one or more of its members should be deemed to be an "audit committee financial expert" or, if not, why not, and the Board shall make the final determinations in this regard.

     The chairperson of the Audit Committee shall be designated by the Trust's Governance Committee, PROVIDED THAT if the Governance Committee does not designate a chairperson, the members of the Audit Committee, by a majority vote, may designate a chairperson.

     Any vacancy on the Audit Committee shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Governance Committee at the next meeting of the Governance Committee following the occurrence of the vacancy. No member of the Audit Committee shall be removed except by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Governance Committee.

III. MEETINGS OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The Audit Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure, which shall be consistent with the Declaration of Trust of the Trust (or other charter document of the Trust), the By-Laws of the Trust and this Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee shall meet on a regular basis and special meetings shall be called as circumstances require. The Audit Committee, in its discretion, may ask members of management or others to attend its meetings (or portions thereof) and to provide pertinent information as necessary. The Audit Committee shall meet separately on a periodic basis with (a) the chief financial officer of the Trust, (b) management of BlackRock responsible for assisting with the preparation of the Trust's financial statements and (c) the Independent Auditor, in each case to discuss any matters that the Audit Committee or any of the above persons or firms believe should be discussed privately. The Audit Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure, which shall be consistent with the Declaration of Trust of the Trust, the By-Laws of the Trust and this Audit Committee Charter.

     A majority of the members of the Audit Committee present in person or by means of a conference telephone or other communication equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other shall constitute a quorum, PROVIDED THAT, once annually, at the meeting for selecting the Independent Auditor, a majority of the members of the Audit Committee present in person shall constitute a quorum.

     The Audit Committee may also take action by the written consent of a majority of its members, except to the extent an in-person meeting is required by the preceding sentence or required by applicable law.

     For the sake of increased efficiency and for the dissemination of knowledge throughout the closed-end fund complex, each Audit Committee may meet jointly with any other Audit Committee in the closed-end fund complex.

     The Audit Committee shall cause to be maintained minutes of all meetings and records relating to those meetings and provide copies of such minutes to the Board and the Trust.

IV. AUTHORITY

     The Audit Committee shall have the authority to carry out its duties and responsibilities as set forth in this Joint Audit Committee Charter, to institute investigations of suspected improprieties and to retain independent counsel or seek assistance from experts.

C-2

In particular, the Audit Committee will also report to the Board its conclusions with respect to matters the Audit Committee considers to be of interest or the Governance Committee or the Board requests.
