JOINT FIDELITY BOND AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG
THE FUNDS IN THE BLACKROCK EQUITY-BOND COMPLEX

     JOINT FIDELITY BOND AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2007, by and among the funds (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in the BlackRock Equity-Bond Complex listed on Schedule A attached hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time, all of which are named insureds on a certain fidelity bond underwritten by Vigilant Insurance Company (“Vigilant”), a member of the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies, covering certain acts relating to the Funds (the “Bond”).

W I T N E S S E T H

     WHEREAS, each of the Funds is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

     WHEREAS, by the terms of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act, the Funds are required to provide and to maintain in effect a bond against larceny and embezzlement by their officers and employees. By the terms of the rule, the Funds are authorized to secure the Bond that names all of the Funds as insureds;

     WHEREAS, Rule 17g-1(f) under the 1940 Act requires that a registered management investment company named as an insured on a joint fidelity bond enter into a certain agreement with the other named insureds;

     WHEREAS, a majority of the Board of Directors/Trustees (collectively, the “Board,” the members of which are referred to as “Directors”) of each Fund who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act have given due consideration to all factors relevant to the form, amount and ratable allocation of premiums of such Bond, and the majority of such Directors have approved the amount, type, form and coverage of the Bond and the portion of the premium payable with respect to each Fund; and

     WHEREAS, the Board has determined that the allocation of the proceeds payable under the Bond as set forth herein (which takes into account the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to each Fund is less than the premium the Fund would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond) is equitable with respect to each Fund and that each Fund will benefit from its respective participation in the Bond in compliance with this Rule.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the Funds hereto as follows:

     1. Joint Insured Bond. The Funds have procured from Vigilant, a reputable fidelity insurance company, the Bond insuring each Fund against larceny and embezzlement of its securities and funds by such of its officers and employees who may, singly or jointly with others, have access to such securities or funds, directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the disposition of such securities. The Bond names each Fund as an insured, and complies with the requirements established by Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act.

     2. Amount. The Bond is in an amount, based upon the total assets of each Fund, equal to or in excess of the aggregate of the minimum coverage required for each of the Funds under Rule 17g-1. The minimum coverage required for a Fund under Rule 17g-1(d)(1) shall be referred to herein as the “Minimum Coverage Amount.”

     3. Ratable Allocation of Premium. Each Fund will pay the percentage of the premium due under the Bond which is proportionate to the ratio of its Minimum Coverage Amount to the aggregate amount of the Minimum Coverage Amounts for all of the Funds.

     4. Ratable Allocation of Proceeds.

     (a) In the event any recovery under the Bond is received as a result of a loss sustained by any of the Funds, then each Fund sustaining such loss shall receive an equitable and proportionate share of the recovery, said proportion to be established by the ratio that the claim bears to the total amount claimed by all participants, but at least equal to the amount which each such Fund would have received had it provided and maintained a single insured bond with the Minimum Coverage Amount.

     (b) If the recovery is inadequate to indemnify fully each such Fund sustaining a loss, the recovery shall be allocated among such Funds as follows:

     (i) Each Fund sustaining a loss shall be allocated an amount equal to the lesser of its actual loss or the Minimum Coverage Amount.

     (ii) The remaining portion of the proceeds shall be allocated to each Fund sustaining a loss not fully covered by the allocation under subparagraph (i) in the proportion that each such Fund’s gross assets as of the end of its fiscal quarter preceding the loss bears to the sum of the gross assets of all such Funds. If such allocation would result in any Fund sustaining a loss receiving a portion of the recovery in excess of the loss actually sustained by such Fund, the aggregate of such excess portions shall be allocated among the other Funds whose losses would not be fully indemnified in the same proportion as each such Fund’s gross assets bear to the sum of the gross assets of all Funds entitled to receive a share of the excess (both determined as of the fiscal quarter of each Fund preceding the loss). Any allocation in excess of a loss actually sustained by any such Fund shall be reallocated in the same manner.

     5. Claims and Settlements. Each Fund shall, within ten days after the making of any claim under the Bond, provide the other Funds with written notice of the amount and nature of such claim. Each Fund shall, within ten days after the receipt thereof, provide the other Funds with written notice of the terms of settlement of any claim made under the Bond by such Fund.

     6. Modification and Amendments.

     (a) If a Fund shall determine that the coverage required by Rule 17g-1 for such Fund has changed, or that the amount of the total coverage allocated to such Fund should otherwise be modified, it shall so notify the other Funds setting forth the modification

- 2 -

which it believes to be appropriate, and the proposed treatment of any increased or return premium.

     (b) Within 60 days after such notice, the Funds shall seek the approval required by Rule 17g-1, and if approvals are obtained, shall effect an amendment to this Agreement and the Bond. Any Fund may terminate this Agreement (except with respect to losses occurring prior to such withdrawal) by giving at least 60 days’ written notice to the other Funds. The Fund(s) terminating the Agreement shall thereafter be removed as a named insured in accordance with Rule 17g-1 and the Fund(s) shall be entitled to receive the pro rata portion of any return of premium paid to the insurance company.

     (c) This Agreement is intended to cover all entities insured under the Bond. Any insured under the Bond that is not currently listed on Schedule A hereto may be added to this Agreement by a written amendment. The Funds hereby consent to additional registered investment companies advised by BlackRock Advisors, LLC and its affiliates being named as an insured under the Bond and the Agreement.

     7. Limitation of Liability for Massachusetts business trusts. The Declaration of Trust for each Fund listed on Schedule A hereto that is organized as a Massachusetts business trust (each, a “Massachusetts Trust”) is on file with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Agreement is executed on behalf of such Massachusetts Trusts by the Trust’s Chief Executive Officer and not individually and the obligations imposed upon each Massachusetts Trust by this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Massachusetts Trust’s respective Board members, officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of such Massachusetts Trust.

     8. No Assignment. This Agreement is not assignable.

     9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts which together shall constitute a single instrument.

     10. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     11. Notices. All Notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the appropriate Fund at 40 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10022.

- 3 -

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Fund has caused the foregoing instrument to be executed by their duly authorized officers, all as of the day and the year first above written.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY’S CERTIFICATE

     I, Denis R. Molleur, the duly elected and acting Assistant Secretary of each of funds listed on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), hereby certify that the following resolutions regarding the Funds’ fidelity bond were duly adopted by the Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund on August 19, 2008, are in full force and effect and have been so since such date.

     RESOLVED, that the terms and amount of the extension of the joint insured fidelity bond to be obtained from Vigilant Insurance Company covering registered investment companies advised or managed by BlackRock Advisors, LLC, with an approximate allocation to each Fund as presented in the Board materials, be, and they hereby are, approved in substantially the form presented at the Meetings with such changes as counsel deems necessary; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of each Fund are authorized to pay the amount of the total premium allocated to the Fund for the period payable with respect to such bond as described in the Joint Fidelity Bond Agreement and outlined in the attached Allocation of Premium; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the amount of the fidelity bond coverage is approved after consideration of all factors deemed relevant by the Board, including, but not limited to, the other parties named as insureds, the nature of the business activities of such other parties, the amount of the joint insured bond, the amount of the premium for such bond, the ratable allocation of the premium among the parties named as insured, the extent to which the share of the premium allocated to each Fund is less than the premium the Fund would have had to pay if it had provided and maintained a single insured bond, the value of the assets of the Fund, the type and terms of the arrangements made for custody of the Fund’s assets, and the nature of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Directors/Trustees determined that the benefits of obtaining fidelity bond coverage from Vigilant Insurance Company, including the opportunity to obtain stable, low-cost insurance coverage from Vigilant Insurance Company, justify paying the Reserve Premium and making the commitments for additional payments to Vigilant Insurance Company, including acceptance of restrictions upon the withdrawal of the Reserve Premium; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of each Fund be, and each hereby is, authorized and directed to execute such other documents and take such other action as may be deemed necessary or desirable to effect the Fund’s purchase of a fidelity bond from Vigilant Insurance Company including but not limited to executing a signature commitment to Vigilant Insurance Company and obtaining a Letter of Credit from State Street Bank and Trust Company; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the form of Joint Insured Fidelity Bond Agreement between the Funds and the other named joint insureds, in substantially the form as previously provided to the Directors, is approved with such further changes therein as an officer of a Fund may deem necessary or advisable with the advice of counsel, such officers’ execution of the Agreement to be conclusive evidence of this determination; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that an officer of a Fund is authorized to execute and deliver such Agreement on behalf of the Fund; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the fidelity bond premiums paid by each Fund pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act shall be reallocated from time to time to allow for changes during the policy year arising from the addition of joint insureds to the bond, the growth or loss of gross

assets of the Fund during the year requiring additional or reduced coverage in accordance with Rule 17g-1 (d) under the 1940 Act, or the liquidation or merger of named insureds; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the following practices are hereby adopted as the procedures for allocating and reallocating fidelity bond premium expense among the named joint insureds: (i) the joint fidelity bond premium expense allocated to each named insured will be based on the amount of coverage assigned to each named insured from time to time, and (ii) coverage for the Fund under the joint insured bond will be based on the amount of coverage required by Rule 17g-1 (d) under the 1940 Act from time to time plus additional coverage to allow for reasonable growth of the Fund; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of each Fund be, and each hereby is, authorized and directed to implement the foregoing procedures by, among other things: (i) monitoring the amount of fidelity bond coverage assigned to the Fund and, if necessary, increasing or decreasing such coverage to comply with the Board’s procedures, and (ii) if necessary, reallocating the joint fidelity bond expense in accordance with the foregoing procedures for allocating the premium adopted by the Board; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Secretary of each Fund is hereby designated as the officer responsible for making the necessary filings and giving the notices with respect to such bond required by paragraph (g) of Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act; and

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of each Fund are authorized and directed to take such action with respect to obtaining additional fidelity bond coverage as they deem it necessary or appropriate pursuant to Rule 17g-1 under the 1940 Act

The period for which premiums have been paid under the joint fidelity bond is November 1, 2008 to November 1, 2009.
