PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 22, 2003
----------------
This document will give you the information you need to vote on the
matters listed on the accompanying Notice of Joint Annual Meeting of
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 Shareholders of the Trusts to be held on Thursday, May 22, 2003, and
any adjournment or postponement thereof (the "Meeting"). The Meeting will be
held at the New York East Side Marriott, 525 Lexington Avenue, New York, New
York, on May 22, 2003 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
and the enclosed proxy card are first being sent to the Trusts' shareholders on
or about April 15, 2003.
* WHY IS A SHAREHOLDER MEETING BEING HELD?
Because the common shares of each Trust are traded on a nationally
recognized stock exchange that requires each Trust to hold an annual
meeting of shareholders.
* WHAT PROPOSAL WILL BE VOTED ON?
You are being asked to elect nominees for the Board of each Trust in
which you own shares (the "Proposal").
* 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 Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 22, 2003, and, if the 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 15, 2003.
* HOW DO THE TRUSTS' BOARDS RECOMMEND THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE ON THE
PROPOSALS?
Each Board unanimously recommends that you vote "for" the respective
Proposal.
* WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE?
Shareholders of record of each Trust at the close of business on
February 28, 2003 are entitled to be present and to vote at the 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 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, 2003.
* WHY DOES THIS PROXY STATEMENT LIST SEVERAL CLOSED-END FUNDS?
The Trusts have similar proposals and it is cost-efficient to have a
joint proxy statement and one meeting. In the event that any
shareholder present at the 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 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 Proposal 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 PROPOSAL
* 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. There are two or three nominees with respect to each Trust
because each year the term of office of one class expires and only
Directors of the respective Trust whose current terms are expiring are
being nominated for election at the Meeting.
The following table sets forth the class and nominees to be voted on by
each Trust:
CLASS OF DIRECTORS NOMINEES FOR
FUND STANDING FOR ELECTION DIRECTORS
===========================================================================================================
BFC(1) BRM(1) BLJ BFY CLASS I Richard E. Cavanagh(4)

- ----------------
(1) Shareholders of these Trusts will also vote for Messrs. Walter F.
Mondale and Robert S. Kapito, in addition to the Class I nominees for
Directors, for the reasons described below.
(2) Shareholders of these Trusts will also vote for Mr. Kapito, in addition
to the Class II nominees for Directors, for the reasons described
below.
(3) Shareholders of these Trusts will also vote for Mr. Mondale, in
addition to the Class III nominees for Directors, for the reasons
described below.
(4) To be elected by holders of preferred shares only, except that, for
BHY, BHK, BHD, BKT, BNA and BQT, which do not have preferred shares, to
be elected by holders of common shares.
Each Director is also a Director of each of the other BlackRock
closed-end Trusts. Each nominee's background is described below.
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 Meeting,
voting separately as a class, will separately elect a 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. Richard E. Cavanagh and
Frank J. Fabozzi.
2
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. In 2002, Mr. Walter F. Mondale resigned from the Boards in order to run
for U.S. Senate on October 31, 2002 and was reappointed by the Boards on
November 12, 2002. Mr. Robert S. Kapito was appointed as a Director of each
Trust by the Boards on August 22, 2002 to fill a vacancy. Therefore, Messrs.
Mondale and Kapito are being nominated for election with respect to BKN, BRM,
BFC, BLN, BCT, BKT, BQT, BAT, BMN, RAA, RNJ, RNY, BNA and BMT, even if they are
not in the class of Directors standing for election, because these Trusts are
organized as Maryland corporations.
Each Director elected will hold office for three years and until their
successors shall have been elected and qualified, except that Mr. Mondale and
Mr. Kapito will serve until the end of the term for which they were originally
appointed, where applicable. 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, BCT and BQT each hold substantially all of their assets in their
respective wholly owned subsidiaries, BAT Subsidiary Inc. ("BATS"), BCT
Subsidiary Inc. ("BCTS") and BQT Subsidiary Inc. ("BQTS"). The Board of each
wholly owned subsidiary is identical to the Board of its respective parent
company. Accordingly, nominees elected as Directors of BAT, BCT, and BQT,
respectively, will be appointed by BAT, BCT and BQT, respectively, to serve as
Directors of BATS, BCTS and BQTS, respectively, each of which has investment
objectives and policies identical to BAT, BCT, and BQT, 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, BCTS, and BQTS, 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, BQT,
BAT, BMN, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BNA and BMT on August 11, 1994 to fill a vacancy.
With respect to BKT, BQT, BAT, BMN, BNA and BMT, Mr. James Clayburn La Force,
Jr. has served as Director since his election at the Trusts' annual meeting of
shareholders on June 19, 1992. Mr. Walter F. Mondale, who was previously a
Director of BKN, BRM, BFC, BLN, BCT, BKT, BQT, 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' annual meeting of shareholders on April 15, 1997,
except that he resigned on October 31, 2002 to run for the U.S. Senate and was
subsequently reappointed by the Boards on November 12, 2002. Mr. Robert S.
Kapito was appointed by the Boards on August 22, 2002 to fill a vacancy. In
addition, Mr. Ralph L. Schlosstein also serves as Chairman and President of the
BlackRock Provident Institutional Funds and a Director and officer of several of
BlackRock's alternative investment vehicles. Each Director holds his position as
to each of the 44 active closed-end funds advised by BlackRock Advisors, Inc.
(the "Fund Complex"). As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Fund Complex
consisted of 44 active closed-end funds, each with one investment portfolio.
Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other
offices in the same company for the last five years. The "interested" Directors
(as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act")) are indicated by an asterisk(*). Independent directors
are those who are not interested persons of the Trusts or BlackRock Advisors,
Inc. (the "Independent Directors"). Unless specified otherwise below, the
business address of the Directors and officers of each of the Trusts is 40 East
52nd Street, New York, New York 10022, and the address of BlackRock Advisors,

* 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 members and chairman of each committee are appointed by the
Directors.
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 Boards.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
Each of the Trusts has an Audit Committee, composed of three of the
Independent Directors, which is charged with selecting a firm of independent
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 (except for BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE)
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
auditors the matters required to be discussed by the Statements on Auditing
Standards No. 61, (iii) the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and
the letter from the independent auditors required by ISB Standard No. 1 and has
discussed with the auditors the auditors' 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.
BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE are newly organized and do not, as of yet, have
audited year-end financial statements. As a result, these Trusts' Audit
Committees have not performed any of the above functions.
The Audit Committee is governed by a written charter, which was revised
on October 22, 2002 and is attached hereto as Appendix C.
The members of the Audit Committee of each Trust are Messrs. Brimmer
(Chairman of the Audit Committee), Cavanagh and Dixon. 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.
GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
Each of the Trusts has a Governance Committee composed of all of the
Independent Directors. 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 1940 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.
* 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?

BMT, BPS, BSD, BRF, BRM and BQT were held during their last fiscal year from
January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002.
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 he has been a Director); and (ii) all
meetings of all committees of the Board of each Trust on which he served (during
the periods that he served).
Meeting information and Directors' attendance for BBK, BZA, BIE, BZM,
BLJ, BQH, BHV, BLE, BCL, BFY, BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE 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.
TOTAL COMPENSATION
FROM THE FUND COMPLEX
NAME OF DIRECTOR PAID TO DIRECTORS (1)
-------------------------------- --------------------------------
Andrew F. Brimmer $200,000(2)(3)
Richard E. Cavanagh $160,000(2)
Kent Dixon $160,000(2)
Frank J. Fabozzi $160,000(2)
James Clayburn La Force, Jr. $160,000(2)
Walter F. Mondale $160,000(2)
- ----------
(1) Represents the total compensation earned by such persons during the
calendar year ended December 31, 2002 from the Fund Complex.
(2) Represents the aggregate compensation earned by such persons during the
calendar year ended December 31, 2002. Of this amount, Messrs. Brimmer,
Cavanagh, Dixon, Fabozzi, La Force and Mondale deferred $24,000,
$24,000, $0, $0, $148,000 and $55,500, respectively, pursuant to the
Fund Complex's deferred compensation plan (described below).
(3) Dr. Brimmer serves as "lead director" for each Board in the Fund
Complex. For his services as lead director, Dr. Brimmer is compensated
in the amount of $40,000 per annum by the Fund Complex allocated among
the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on each Trust's relative net
assets.
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) $1,500 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 $160,000 per annum, except for the lead
director. In the event that the $160,000 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 (subject to a $2,000
minimum per Director). In addition, the attendance fees of each Independent
Director of the Trusts were reduced proportionately, based on each respective
Trust's net assets, so that the aggregate per meeting fee for all meetings of
the Boards of the Trusts held on a single day did not exceed $20,000 for any
Director.

The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their
last fiscal year from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002:
BAT $14,000 BMN $72,000 BJZ $10,900
BRM $69,900 BQT $50,000 BPK $35,000
BLN $23,500 BPS $11,300 BLH $11,100
BFC $25,200 BSD $16,500
BRF $16,200 BMT $47,600
The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal
year from November 1, 2001 to October 31, 2002:
BHY $12,100 RNY $12,000 BHK $50,000
BCT $15,400 BKN $40,500 BHD $16,500
RAA $12,000 BNA $56,300 BFK $85,500
RFA $12,000 BBF $16,100 BNJ $18,000
BFZ $35,200 BNY $28,600
RNJ $12,000 BKT $71,500
The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal
year from September 1, 2001 to August 31, 2002: 1
BBK $ 5,500 BHV $ 4,100 BYM $ 0
BZA $ 4,100 BLE $ 3,700 BCK $ 0
BIE $ 4,200 BCL $ 1,700 BAF $ 0
BZM $ 4,200 BLJ $ 4,200 BSE $ 0
BQH $ 4,200 BFY $ 1,100
None of the Directors received any pension or retirement benefits. 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, Schaney, Shea and Ms. Ackerley, officers of the
Trusts, are also affiliated with the Advisor. 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 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.
Under the deferred compensation plan (the "Plan"), Independent
Directors may elect to defer receipt of at least a portion of their annual
compensation received from a Trust. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return
for the Directors as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in
common shares of certain 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 a Trust. A
Trust may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those Trusts selected by
the Directors in order to match its deferred compensation obligations.
At a meeting of the Governance Committees held on October 22, 2002, the
Independent Directors approved a change to their compensation to become
effective January 1, 2003. Under this revised compensation plan, each
Independent Director will receive an annual fee calculated as follows: (i)
$6,000 from each Trust in the Fund Complex and (ii) $1,500 for each meeting of
each Board in the Fund Complex attended by such Independent Director. The total
aggregate compensation for each Independent Director is capped at $190,000 per
annum from the Fund Complex, except for the lead director and Audit Committee
members.
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 will be required to
defer all of the $20,000 per annum fee they will receive for their services on
the audit committee pursuant to the Plan.
* 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 44 active BlackRock closed-end Trusts based on their own investment
needs. The
- ----------

any fees.

of equity securities beneficially owned and share equivalents held by each

prior to the time they are voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of
the Trust by delivering a subsequently dated proxy or by attending and voting at
the Meeting.

2003 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of each Trust
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Shareholders of each Trust
on that date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on by that

Monthly performance and other information regarding the Trusts may be

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") 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
ten percent 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. As a convenience to the
Directors, the Advisor assists the Directors and officers in making their
Section 16 filings. 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 2002, all filings applicable to such persons were
completed and filed, except for those instances discussed below. During fiscal
year 2002, it came to the attention of the Trusts that, due to an administrative
oversight, Form 5s had not been filed on behalf of Messrs. Cavanagh, Mondale, La
Force, and Brimmer with respect to certain share equivalents credited to them in
one or more of BCT, BKT, BNA, BHY, BAT and/or BQT pursuant to deemed quarterly
investments under the Trusts' deferred compensation plan in fiscal years 2001
and 2002. For such quarterly deferred compensation transactions in 2000 and
2001, Form 5s in respect of 2000 and 2001 were filed in September of 2002. In
addition, due to administrative oversight, Form 4 reports were filed late on
behalf of each of Messrs. Brimmer (BAT, BKT and BQT), Cavanagh (BHK, BHY, BKT
and BPK), La Force (BHD, BHY, BQT, BCT and BBK) and Kapito (BNJ). In addition,
Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act requires that an investment company's investment
advisor and the investment advisor's affiliates file Form 3s with respect to the
Trusts. For each of BPS, BKT, BNA, BHY, BHK, BHD, BKN, BBF, BFK, BFZ, BNJ, BNY,
BQT, BAT, BCT, BSD, BJZ, BPK, BLH, BZA, BBK, BIE, BLJ, BQH, BZM, BHV, BLE, BFY
and BCL the Trust's investment advisor and/or certain affiliates of the
investment advisor either acting as sub-advisor to a Trust or owning Trust
shares filed late Form 3s in October of 2002.

PRIVACY PRINCIPLES OF THE TRUSTS
The Trusts are committed to maintaining the privacy of shareholders and
to safeguarding their non-public personal information. The following information
is provided to help you understand what personal information the Trusts collect,
how the Trusts protect that information and why, in certain cases, the Trusts
may share information with select other parties.
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).
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
Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in the Trusts' proxy
statement in connection with the Trusts' 2004 annual meeting of shareholders
pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received by a Trust at
such Trust's principal executive offices by December 16, 2003. 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 1, 2004.
OTHER MATTERS
The management of the Trusts knows of no other matters which are to be
brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known properly

JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
OF THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END TRUSTS
(AS AMENDED THROUGH OCTOBER 22, 2002)
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The Joint Audit Committee of the BlackRock Closed-End Funds (the
"Trusts", each a "Trust") is charged with providing informed, vigilant and
effective oversight of the Trusts' financial reporting process and the internal
controls which protect the integrity of the reporting process.
RESPONSIBILITIES
o Selecting, retaining, terminating and determining the compensation of
the Trusts' auditors, including reviewing factors relating to the
independence of the Trusts' public auditors.
o Approving all audit and non-audit functions to be performed by the
Trusts' public auditors.
o Reviewing with the Trusts' auditors the overall scope of the audit.
o Reviewing the Trusts' audited financial statements and audit results,
including communications from the auditors relating to the Trusts'
accounting practices, procedures and internal accounting controls.
o Presenting the Trusts' interim financial statements at an Audit
Committee meeting so that the Audit Committee has the opportunity to
(i) review the materials before distribution to shareholders; and (ii)
discuss any other matters related thereto as the Audit Committee deems
necessary and appropriate.
o Reviewing the adequacy of internal control systems, including internal
audit activities and the security of electronic data processing, if
any.
o Reviewing such other matters regarding the Trusts' financial and
accounting practices as it or the Boards of Directors may deem
advisable.
COMPOSITION
The Audit Committee shall be composed of at least three members of the
Boards of Directors, all of whom are "independent" as defined by the New York
Stock Exchange listing standards and the American Stock Exchange listing
standards, respectively. According to the NYSE listing standards, a member is
independent if he/she has no relationship with the respective Trust that may
interfere with the exercise of his/her independence from BlackRock and the Trust
and is not (i) an employee of the Trust or BlackRock; (ii) a partner,
controlling shareholder or executive officer of an organization that has a
business relationship with the Trust or has a direct business relationship with
the Trust; (iii) employed as an executive of another company for which an
executive of the Trust serves on that company's compensation committee; and (iv)
does not have an immediate family member who is an executive officer of the
Trust or BlackRock.
According to the AMEX listing standards, a member is independent if
he/she is not an officer or employee of the Trust or a person having a
relationship which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere
with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities
of a director and (i) is not employed by the Trust or BlackRock for the current
year or any of the past three years; (ii) 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; (iii) 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; (iv) is not a partner in, or controlling shareholder or executive
officer of, any for-profit business organization which received payments from or
made payments to the Trust in excess of the greater of 5% gross revenue or
$200,000 in any of the past three years; and (v) is not employed as an executive
of another entity for which any of the Trust's executives serve on that entity's
compensation committee.
Each member must be financially literate (i.e., have a basic
understanding of financial statements) and at least one member must have
accounting or related financial management expertise.
C-1
AUTHORITY
The Audit Committee shall have the authority to institute
investigations of suspected improprieties, including the standing authority to
retain special counsel or seek assistance from experts.
INTERACTION WITH MANAGEMENT
Management of the Trusts shall inform the Audit Committee in advance of
any proposed changes in accounting or financial reporting practices and of any
other unusual events that could have a significant impact on the Trusts'
financial statements. Management shall advise the Audit Committee in advance
when it seeks a second opinion on a significant accounting issue from an
accountant that is not the Trusts' independent auditor. The Trusts' internal
auditor shall have direct independent access to the Audit Committee.
RESOURCES
The Boards of Directors shall ensure that the Audit Committee had
adequate resources with which to discharge its responsibility.
MEETINGS
The Audit Committee shall meet on a regular basis and special meetings
shall be called as circumstances require. The committee shall meet privately
with any internal auditor and the independent public accountant whenever it
believes that it is necessary to do so.
REPORTING
The Audit Committee shall report its activities to the Boards of
Directors on a regular basis, so that the Boards are kept informed of its
activities on a current basis. The Audit Committee shall also provide relevant
proxy disclosure to the Trusts and determine satisfaction of the requirements
that the committee has: (i) reviewed and discussed the audited financial
statements with management of the Trusts; (ii) discussed with the independent
auditors the matters required to be discussed by the Statements on Auditing
Standards No. 61; (iii) received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent auditors required by ISB Standard No. 1 and has discussed with the
auditors the auditors' independence; and (iv) whether it recommended to the
Boards of Directors of the Trusts that the financial statements be included in
the Trusts' Annual Report for the past fiscal year, as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
