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 14, 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").

* 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 14, 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. 3 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:

(1) To be elected by holders of preferred shares only, except that, for BHY, BCT, BAT, BLW and BDV 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. 4 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. Richard E. Cavanagh and Frank J. Fabozzi. Each Director elected will hold office for three years and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified. 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. Pursuant to the requirements of Maryland law, Messrs. Mondale and Kapito were elected as Directors of BKN, BRM, BFC, BLN, BCT, BKT, BQT, BAT, BMN, BMT, RAA, RNJ, RNY and BNA at the Trusts' annual meeting of shareholders on May 22, 2003. Mr. Ralph L. Schlosstein also serves as Chairman and President of the BlackRock Liquidity Funds and Director of Anthracite Capital, Inc. and several of BlackRock's alternative investment vehicles. Each Director holds his position as to each of the 49 active closed-end funds(1) advised by BlackRock Advisors, Inc. (the "Fund Complex"). As of February 27, 2004, the Fund Complex consisted of 49 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. and comply with the definition of "independent" (as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) (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, Inc. (the "Advisor") is 100 Bellevue Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware 19809. -------------------- 1 The 49 active closed-end funds consist of 48 funds listed on a nationally recognized stock exchange included in this Proxy Statement and one interval fund, Partners Balanced Trust, which is not required to be included in this Proxy Statement. 5

* 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. 7 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. 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 pay any third party a fee to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates. The Joint Governance Committee Charter of the Trusts is available at BlackRock's web site at http://www.blackrock.com/funds/cefunds/index.html under the heading "Corporate Governance/Committee Charters." * 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 22, 2003, all of the Trusts' Directors 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. 8 * HOW OFTEN DO THE DIRECTORS MEET? Eight meetings of the Boards of each of BZA, BIE, BZM, BBK, BLJ, BQH, BHV, BLE, BCL and BFY and nine meetings of the Boards of each of BYM, BCK, BAF and BSE were held during their last fiscal year between September 1, 2002 and August 31, 2003. Five meetings of the Boards of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RNJ, RNY and BHK and six meetings of the Boards of each of RFA, BBF, BFK, BFZ, BNJ and BNY were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2002 and October 31, 2003. Six meetings of the Boards of each of BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRM, BQT and BAT and seven meetings of the Boards of each of BPS, BRF, BSD, BJZ, BLH and BPK were held during their last fiscal year between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003. 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, 2002 and August 31, 2003. Six meetings of the Audit Committees of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BFK, BFZ, BBF, BNJ, BNY and BHK were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2002 and October 31, 2003. Seven meetings of the Audit Committees of each of BPK, BJZ, BLH, BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRF, BRM, BPS, BQT, BAT and BSD were held during their last fiscal year between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003. Four 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, 2002 and August 31, 2003. Three meetings of the Governance Committees of each of BNA, BHD, BCT, BHY, BKN, BKT, RAA, RFA, RNJ, RNY, BFK, BFZ, BBF, BNJ, BNY and BHK were held during their last fiscal year between November 1, 2002 and October 31, 2003. Four meetings of the Governance Committees of each of BPK, BJZ, BLH, BMN, BFC, BLN, BMT, BRF, BRM, BPS, BQT, BAT and BSD were held between their last fiscal year from January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003. 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. 9 (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 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 BCT $14,400 BKN $41,200 BHD $13,200 RAA $12,000 BNA $57,600 BFK $79,600 RFA $12,000 BBF $14,500 BNJ $15,700 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 10 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. 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. 11 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 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.

AUDIT COMMITTEE'S PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES On May 22, 2003, the Audit Committee of each Trust adopted Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

With respect to the above chart, all shares are common shares. 18 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION EACH TRUST WILL FURNISH, WITHOUT CHARGE, A COPY OF SUCH TRUST'S MOST RECENT ANNUAL REPORT AND THE MOST RECENT SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT SUCCEEDING THE ANNUAL REPORT, IF ANY, TO ANY SHAREHOLDER UPON REQUEST. REQUESTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO BLACKROCK ADVISORS, INC., 100 BELLEVUE PARKWAY, WILMINGTON, DE 19809 (TELEPHONE NUMBER (800) 227-7BFM (7236)). Monthly performance and other information regarding the Trusts may be found on BlackRock's website, which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com/funds/cefunds/index.html. This reference to BlackRock's website is intended to allow investors to access information regarding the Trusts and does not, and is not intended to, incorporate BlackRock's website into this Proxy Statement. 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 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. 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. 19 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.

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 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 past three years, (b) did not receive compensation from the Trust or BlackRock in excess of $60,000 during the previous year, other -------------------- (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. 24 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 Bylaws 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. 25 V. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE In carrying out its duties and responsibilities, the Audit Committee's policies and procedures will remain flexible, so that it may be in a position to best react or respond to changing circumstances or conditions.

The Audit Committee, in its discretion, may elect to delegate to one or more of its members authority to pre-approve Covered Services between regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall review and approve its pre-approval procedures at least annually. VII. REPORTING The Audit Committee shall report its activities to the Board on a regular basis, so that the Board is kept informed of its activities on a current basis. In connection therewith, the Audit Committee will review with the Board any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Trust's financial statements, the Trust's compliance with legal or regulatory 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 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 designed by the Audit Committee to make this report. 28 The Audit Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in the Trust's annual proxy statement and determine to its satisfaction that the Audit Committee has: (a) reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management of the Trust; (b) discussed with the Independent Auditor the matters required to be discussed by the Statements on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended; (c) received the written disclosures and the letter from the Independent Auditor required by ISB Standard No. 1 and have discussed with the Independent Auditor the auditor's independence; and (d) made a recommendation to the Board as to whether the financial statements be included in the Trust's annual report for the past fiscal year, as filed with the SEC.

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. 29 APPENDIX D DIRECTORS SHARE HOLDINGS The following chart lists the number of shares beneficially owned and the number of share equivalents owned by the Directors pursuant to the Directors' deferred compensation plan as of February 27, 2004.
