BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS
PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
JOINT ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS/SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 26, 2004
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 Wednesday, May 26, 2004,
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, 2004, 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 21, 2004.
* 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, shareholders of each of BMN, BMT, BRM,
BLN, BFC, BKN, RAA, RNJ and RNY are being asked to approve an amendment to
those Trusts' Articles Supplementary (the "Second Proposal").
PROPOSAL TRUST
-------- -----
#1 To elect Directors All Trusts
#2 To amend the Trusts' Articles Supplementary BMN, BMT, BRM, BLN, BFC, BKN, RAA, RNJ, RNY
* 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 Wednesday, May 26, 2004, 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, 2004.
* 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
27, 2004 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 27, 2004.
* 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 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.
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 Annual Meeting.
The following table sets forth the class and nominees to be voted on by
each Trust:

2
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

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,

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,

* 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.
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 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 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 Statement 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.
The members of the Audit Committee of each Trust are Messrs. Brimmer
(Chairman of the Audit Committee), Cavanagh and Dixon, 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, 2004 and is attached hereto as Appendix C.
5
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 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.
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:
o 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
o The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his
or her qualifications to be a Director of the Trust(s) and the
person's consent to be named as a Director if selected by the
Governance Committee and nominated 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 February 6, 2005, 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 Trusts do not

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).
Annual meeting information and Directors' attendance for BLW, BPP, BKK, BFO
and BDV 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 1940 Act) who do not receive a salary from
the Trusts):
TOTAL COMPENSATION
FROM THE FUND COMPLEX
NAME OF DIRECTOR PAID TO DIRECTORS (1)
- ---------------------------------- ---------------------------
Andrew F. Brimmer $250,000(2)(3)(4)
Richard E. Cavanagh $210,000(2)(4)
Kent Dixon $210,000(2)(4)
Frank J. Fabozzi $190,000(2)
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, 2003, from the Fund Complex.
(2) Represents the aggregate compensation earned by such persons during the
calendar year ended December 31, 2003. Of this amount, Messrs. Brimmer,
Cavanagh, Dixon, Fabozzi, La Force and Mondale deferred $50,000, $50,000,
$50,000, $30,000, $189,750 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 $40,000 per annum by the Fund Complex
allocated among the Trusts in the Fund Complex based on each Trust's
relative net assets.
(4) Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh and Dixon 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.
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 $190,000 per annum, except that
7
Dr. Brimmer received an additional $40,000 per annum from the Fund Complex for
acting as the lead director for each Board in the Fund Complex and Messrs.
Brimmer, Cavanagh and Dixon received an additional $20,000 per annum from the
Fund Complex for their service on the Audit Committee of the Fund Complex. This
additional compensation to Messrs. Brimmer, Cavanagh and Dixon 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
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 $23,750 for any Independent Director.
The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal
year from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003:
BAT $16,100 BMN $72,000 BJZ $14,000
BRM $78,400 BQT $44,000 BPK $34,400
BLN $31,200 BPS $12,400 BLH $12,800
BFC $28,900 BSD $15,900 BPP(1) $50,500
BRF $23,100 BMT $41,900 BKK(1) $10,200
BFO(1) $ 3,300
- ----------------
(1) BPP, BKK and BFO accruals do not represent a full fiscal year.
The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal
year from November 1, 2002 to October 31, 2003:
BHY $12,000 RNY $12,000 BHK $52,800

RAA $12,000 BNA $57,600 BFK $79,600

BFZ $30,900 BNY $26,700 BLW(2) $20,400
RNJ $12,000 BKT $74,700
- ----------------
(2) BLW accrual does not represent a full fiscal year. BDV was not yet formed
during this time period.
The following fees were accrued by the following Trusts during their last fiscal
year from September 1, 2002 to August 31, 2003:
BBK $20,400 BHV $12,200 BYM $43,100
BZA $12,600 BLE $45,500 BCK $10,800
BIE $12,600 BCL $17,500 BAF $14,200
BZM $12,400 BLJ $12,400 BSE $11,000
BQH $12,500 BFY $12,800
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, Gary, Shea, Tritto, 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 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") 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 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 49 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 27, 2004.
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.
THE BOARD OF EACH TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS, UNANIMOUSLY
RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL.
SECOND PROPOSAL: TO AMEND THE TRUSTS' ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY
- ---------------
* HOW WILL THE ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY OF CERTAIN TRUSTS BE AMENDED?
The Board of Directors of each of BMN, BMT, BRM, BLN, BFC, BKN, RAA, RNJ
and RNY (the "Affected Trusts") are recommending that the Affected Trusts'
Articles Supplementary be amended to remove a requirement that the Trusts'
independent accountants confirm that the Trusts satisfy certain preferred share
asset coverage tests once per quarter. If the proposal is approved, the Affected
Trusts' independent accountants will be required to provide such accountants'
confirmation once per year.
Currently, the Affected Trusts' Articles Supplementary require that an
accountants' confirmation be provided on each "Quarterly Valuation Date." A
Quarterly Valuation Date is defined as follows:
"'Quarterly Valuation Date' means the last Business Day of each fiscal
quarter of the Corporation in each fiscal year of the Corporation... "
If the proposal is approved, the Articles Supplementary will be amended to
remove all references to "Quarterly Valuation Date" and replace such references
with "Annual Valuation Date." "Annual Valuation Date" will be defined as
follows:
"'Annual Valuation Date' means the last Business Day of each fiscal
year of the Corporation."
* WHY AM I BEING ASKED TO APPROVE THIS AMENDMENT?
The Articles Supplementary for the Affected Trusts contain the quarterly
confirmation requirement due to restrictions previously imposed by the rating
agencies rating each Affected Trust's preferred shares. Recently, these rating
agencies removed the quarterly confirmation requirement and will now permit the
Affected Trusts to obtain an accountants' confirmation on an annual basis.
However, removing the quarterly accountants' confirmation and replacing it with
an annual confirmation requires an amendment to each Affected Trust's charter
which, under Maryland law, requires shareholder approval.
The rating agencies rating the Affected Trusts' preferred shares require
each Affected Trust to maintain eligible assets with an aggregate discounted
value exceeding the sum of (a) the aggregate liquidation preference of the
preferred shares then outstanding and (b) certain accrued and projected payment
obligations. This is referred to as asset coverage. The charter of each Affected
Trust requires the asset coverage tests to be calculated every 2 weeks. Under
the Affected Trusts' current charter provisions, the Affected Trusts'
accountants review and confirm these asset coverage test calculations on a
quarterly basis, as required by the rating agencies when the Affected Trusts
were formed. If this proposal is approved by shareholders, the accountants would
only be required to confirm these asset coverage test calculations annually, as
the rating agencies now require. This change will not affect the rating of
Preferred Shares. The Affected Trusts will continue to calculate the results of
the asset coverage tests every 2 weeks. As a result, the Affected Trusts believe
that the cost savings realized from the annual asset coverage tests
confirmations will outweigh any reduction in protections afforded to preferred
shareholders.
At the meeting of the Board of Directors of each Affected Trust held on
February 19, 2004, the Board evaluated this proposal. Based upon its review, the
Board concluded that the proposal is in the best interest of the Affected Trusts
and their shareholders because it will reduce costs to the Affected Trusts'
common shareholders without meaningfully reducing protections to their
respective preferred shareholders. Accordingly, on February 19, 2004, the Board
unanimously adopted a resolution setting forth the proposed amendment, declaring
it to be advisable, directing that it be submitted for consideration at the
Annual Meeting and recommending that all shareholders vote for its approval.
9
Accordingly, each Affected Trust's shareholders are being asked to approve
this amendment with respect to the Affected Trust or Trusts in which they own
shares.
The holders of the preferred shares and the holders of the common shares
are entitled to vote on Proposal 2. Approval of Proposal 2 requires the
affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preferred
Shares and common shares when voting as a single class.
THE BOARD OF EACH AFFECTED TRUST, INCLUDING THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS,
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" THE PROPOSAL.
FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING AND THE ANNUAL MEETING
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by each Trust in the
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 Georgeson Shareholder Communications 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
$3,500 (except for BHV, BZM, BLJ, BQH, BKK, BFO, BLW, BPP and BDV, which will 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 Proposal 2
will have the same effect as a negative vote because approval of this proposal
requires the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
preferred shares and common shares when voting as a single class.
All properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be
voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon
or otherwise as provided therein. Shareholders may revoke their proxies at any
time 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 Annual Meeting.
The Board of each Trust has fixed the close of business on February 27,
2004 as the record date for the determination of shareholders of each Trust
entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Shareholders of each
Trust on that date will be entitled to one vote on each matter to be voted on by
that Trust for each share held and a fractional vote with respect to fractional
shares with no cumulative voting rights.

Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors by vote cast in person,

ending in 2004. None of the Trusts knows of any direct or indirect financial

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 2003, all filings applicable to such persons were completed and
filed, except that, due to an administrative oversight, Form 3s with respect to
BDV for the Trust's two portfolio managers were filed late in January of 2004.
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' 2005 annual meeting of shareholders pursuant to
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 must be received by a Trust
at such Trust's principal executive offices by December 16, 2004. 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 February 28, 2005.
OTHER MATTERS
The management of the Trusts knows of no other matters which are to be
brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known
properly come before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons
named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their
judgment on such matters.

APPENDIX C
JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
OF
THE BLACKROCK CLOSED-END FUNDS
AS APPROVED BY THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
FEBRUARY 2004(2)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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")3 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 auditor (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
- ---------------------------
(2) This Joint Audit Committee Charter, if adopted, supercedes and replaces all
prior versions that may have been adopted from time to time.
(3) 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
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 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.
C-2
IV. AUTHORITY
The Audit Committee shall have the authority to carry out its duties and

The Audit Committee shall prepare written pre-approval procedures pursuant

VII. REPORTING
The Audit Committee shall report its activities to the Board on a regular

requirements, the performance and independence of the Independent Auditors. 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
C-5
requests. Reports to the Board may take the form of an oral report by the
chairperson of the Audit Committee or any other member of the Audit Committee
designated by the Audit Committee to make this report.

carry out its duties, and (b) ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit
Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.
IX. LIMITS ON ROLE OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
While the Audit Committee has the duties and responsibilities set forth in
this Joint Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is not responsible for:
o planning or conducting the audit or for determining whether the Trust's
financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles;
o determining whether the Form N-CSR filed by the Trust with the SEC contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under
which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period
covered by the report;
o determining whether the Trust's financial statements and other financial
information included in the Form N-CSR fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations, changes in net
assets and cash flows of the Trust as of, and for, the periods presented in
the Form N-CSR; or
o establishing, designing or maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
for the Trust.
In fulfilling its responsibilities hereunder, it is recognized that members
of the Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Trust or BlackRock.
The Audit Committee and its members do not have a duty or responsibility to
conduct "field work" or other types of auditing or accounting reviews or
procedures or to set auditor independence standards, and each member of the
Audit Committee shall be entitled to rely on (a) the integrity of those persons
and organizations within and outside the Trust, BlackRock and service providers
to the Trust from which it receives information, (b) the accuracy of the
financial and other information provided to the Audit Committee absent actual
knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board) and
(c) statements made by management or third parties as to any information
technology, internal audit and other non-audit services provided by the
Independent Auditor to the Trust.
