Annex B

Compensation of the Board Members

     The Board Members who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act, (the “Independent Board Members”) receive retainer fees which includes meeting fees (up to six meetings per year) for Board and Committee meetings and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings. The Funds do not provide compensation to any Board Member who is an “interested person,” as defined in the 1940 Act; provided, however, that Mr. Gabbay, a former employee and consultant of BlackRock, and currently an interested person of the Funds, received compensation in the amount noted below for services rendered as an employee. Effective January 1, 2009, Mr. Gabbay receives as compensation for his services as a Board Member of the Funds in the Fund Complex and other BlackRock-advised funds, an annual retainer of $412,500 allocated to the Funds and other BlackRock-advised Funds, based on their net assets. In addition, Mr. Gabbay, receives meeting fees for attendance at board meetings held by the two open-end BlackRock fund complexes. Mr. Gabbay will also be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with Board policy on travel and other business expenses relating to attendance at meetings. Mr. Gabbay’s compensation for serving on the Board and the boards of two open-end fund complexes is equal to 75% of each retainer and, where applicable, of each meeting fee (without regard to additional fees paid to Board and Committee chairs) received by the Independent Board Members serving on such boards. The Board or an open-end fund complex board may reduce its compensation from time to time depending on market conditions and Mr. Gabbay’s compensation would be impacted by those reductions. Information regarding compensation, including amounts deferred, paid to the Independent Board Members and Mr. Gabbay for each Fund’s most recent fiscal year is set forth below.

     Each Fund shall pay a pro rata portion quarterly (based on the relative net assets) of the following Board Member fees paid by the funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve: (i) $250,000 per annum for each Independent Board Member as a retainer and (ii) $10,000 per day for each Independent Board Member for each special meeting of each board in the Fund Complex for which they serve (i.e., any meeting, whether telephonic or in person, other than one of the six regularly scheduled meetings of each board per year) attended. Each Independent Board Member shall also be entitled to reimbursement for all of his or her out-of-pocket expenses in attending each meeting of each board and any committee thereof. Mr. Cavanagh will receive an additional $120,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Chair for each board. Ms. Robards will receive an additional $40,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Vice Chair for each board. Mr. Fabozzi will receive an additional $20,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Performance Oversight Committee. Ms. Feldstein will receive an additional $20,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Compliance Committee. Mr. Hubbard will receive an additional $10,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as Chair of each Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Mr. Flynn, Mr. Kester and Ms. Robards will each receive an additional $25,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for their service on each Audit Committee. Ms. Robards will receive an additional $35,000 per annum from the funds in the Fund Complex for acting as the Chair of each Audit Committee. The additional compensation payable to Mr. Cavanagh, Mr. Dixon, Mr. Fabozzi, Ms. Feldstein, Mr. Flynn, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Kester and Ms. Robards will be allocated among the funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve based on their relative net assets.

     The Independent Board Members have agreed that a maximum of 50% of each Independent Board Member’s total compensation paid by funds in the Fund Complex may be deferred pursuant to the Fund Complex’s deferred compensation plan. Under the deferred compensation plan, deferred amounts earn a return for the Independent Board Members as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common shares of certain funds in the Fund Complex selected by the Independent Board Members. This has approximately the same economic effect for the Independent Board Members as if they had invested the deferred amounts in such other funds in the Fund Complex for which they serve. The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations thereunder represent general unsecured claims against the general assets of a fund. A fund may, however, elect to invest in common shares of those funds in the Fund Complex selected by the Independent Board Members in order to match its deferred compensation obligation. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds supervised by the Boards reimbursed Independent Board Member expenses in an aggregate amount of $72,531.
