NAME OF ASSURED: BLACKROCK EQUITY-BOND COMPLEX   
 
    NEW YORK AMENDATORY ENDORSEMENT 
 
It is agreed that this Bond is amended as follows:   
1.  By adding to Section 13, Termination, the following:   
  Bonds In Effect Sixty (60) Days Or Less   
  If this Bond has been in effect for less than sixty (60) days and if it is not a renewal Bond, the 
  COMPANY may terminate it for any reason by mailing or delivering to the ASSURED and to the 
  authorized agent or broker, if any, written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days before the 
  effective date of termination.   
  Bonds In Effect More Than Sixty (60) Days   
  If this Bond has been in effect for sixty (60) days or more, or if it is a renewal of a Bond issued by the 
  COMPANY, it may be terminated by the COMPANY by mailing or delivering to the ASSURED and to 
  the authorized agent or broker, if any, written notice of termination at least sixty (60) days before the 
  effective date of termination. Furthermore, when the Bond is a renewal or has been in effect for sixty 
  (60) days or more, the COMPANY may terminate only for one or more of the reasons stated in 1-7 
  below.   
  1.  Nonpayment of premium;

    insured against, and which occurred subsequent to inception of the current BOND PERIOD; 
  5.  If applicable, material physical change in the property insured, occurring after issuance or last 
    annual renewal anniversary date of this Bond, which results in the property becoming uninsurable 
    in accordance with the COMPANY’s objective, uniformly applied underwriting standards in effect 
    at the time this Bond was issued or last renewed; or material change in the nature or extent of this 
    Bond occurring after issuance or last annual renewal anniversary date of this Bond, which causes 
    the risk of loss to be substantially and materially increased beyond that contemplated at the time 
    this Bond was issued or last renewed;

  6.  A determination by the Superintendent of Insurance that continuation of the present premium 
    volume of the COMPANY would jeopardize the COMPANY’s policyholders, creditors or the public, 
    or continuing the Bond itself would place the COMPANY in violation of any provision of the New 
    York Insurance Code; or 
  7.  Where the COMPANY has reason to believe, in good faith and with sufficient cause, that there is 
    a probable risk or danger that the Property will be destroyed by the ASSURED for the purpose of 
    collecting the insurance proceeds. 
  Notice Of Termination 
  Notice of termination under this SECTION shall be mailed to the ASSURED and to the authorized agent 
  or broker, if any, at the address shown on the DECLARATIONS of this Bond. The COMPANY, 
  however, may deliver any notice instead of mailing it. 
  Return Premium Calculations 
  The COMPANY shall refund the unearned premium computed pro rata if this Bond is terminated by the 
  COMPANY.” 
2.  By adding a new Section reading as follows: 
  “Section 17. Election To Conditionally Renew / Nonrenew This Bond

  5.  Addition of exclusion; or 
  6.  Increased premiums in excess of 10%, exclusive of any premium increase due to and 
    commensurate with insured value added; or as a result of experience rating, retrospective rating 
    or audit; the COMPANY shall send notice as provided in Notices Of Nonrenewal And Conditional 
    Renewal immediately below. 
  Notices Of Nonrenewal And Conditional Renewal 
  1.  If the COMPANY elects not to renew this Bond, or to conditionally renew this Bond as provided 
    herein, the COMPANY shall mail or deliver written notice to the ASSURED at least sixty (60) but 
    not more than one hundred twenty (120) days before: 
    a.  The expiration date; or

    broker, or another insurer has mailed or delivered written notice to the COMPANY that the Bond 
    has been replaced or is no longer desired. 
3.  By adding to General Agreement B., Representations Made By Assured, the following:

    CO-SURETY ENDORSEMENT   
 
It is agreed that this Bond is amended as follows:   
1.  By adding to Section 1., Definitions, the following:

  t.  Company means, unless otherwise specified, each insurance company, including the 
    Controlling Company, executing this Endorsement.   
  u.  Companies means, unless otherwise specified, all of the insurance companies, including the 
    Controlling Company, executing this Endorsement.”   
2.  By adding to Section 5., Limit of Liability/Non-Reduction and Non-Accumulation of Liability, the following: 
  “Each COMPANY shall be liable only for such proportion of any Single Loss as the LIMIT OF 
  LIABILITY underwritten by such Company, as specified in this Endorsement, bears to the LIMIT OF 
  LIABILITY as stated in ITEM 2. of the DECLARATIONS, but in no event shall any Company be liable 
  for an amount greater than that underwritten by it.”   
3.  By adding to Section 7., Notice To Company-Proof-Legal Proceedings Against Company, the following: 
  “g.  In the absence of a request from any Company to pay premiums directly to it, premiums for this 
    Bond may be paid to the Controlling Company for the account of all Companies. 
  h.  In the absence of a request from any Company that notice of claim and proof of loss be given to 
    or filed directly with it, the ASSURED giving such notice to and the filing of such proof with the 
    Controlling Company shall be deemed to be in compliance with the conditions of this Bond for 
    the giving of notice of loss and the filing of proof of loss, if given and filed in accordance with said 
    conditions.”   
4.  By adding to Section 13., Termination, the following:   
  “The Controlling Company may give notice in accordance with the terms of this Bond terminating the 
  Bond as an entirety or as to any Employee or ASSURED, and any notice so given shall terminate the

  terms of this Bond to the Controlling Company shall terminate the liability of all Companies as an

  In the event of the termination of this Bond as an entirety, no Company shall be liable to the ASSURED 
  for a greater proportion of any return premium due the ASSURED than the LIMIT OF LIABILITY 
  underwritten by that Company bears to the LIMIT OF LIABILITY as stated in ITEM 2. of the 
  DECLARATIONS.   
 
  In the event of the termination of this Bond as to any Company, such Company alone shall be liable to 
  the ASSURED for any return premium due the ASSURED on account of such termination. The 
  termination of the attached Bond as to any Company other than the Controlling Company shall not 
  terminate or otherwise affect the liability of the other Companies under this Bond.”

  Company fails to object to a modification within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from the 
  Controlling Company, such Company shall be deemed to agree to such modification.”

POLICYHOLDER 
DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF 
TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE 
(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit) 
You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the “Act”), effective 
December 26, 2007, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of 
certain acts of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the 
United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to 
human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United 
States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises 
of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as 
part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the 
policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. 
 
You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of 
terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the 
Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that 
exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company 
providing the coverage. 
 
However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act 
exceed $100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31), the Treasury 
shall not make any payment for any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds 
$100 billion.

If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed 
$100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31) and we have met our 
insurer deductible under the Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of 
the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up 
to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures 
established by the Secretary of the Treasury. 
 
The portion of your policy’s annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts 
of terrorism is: $        .

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

- 2 -

 
 


otherwise be modified, it shall so notify the other Funds setting forth the modification 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, Ben Archibald, 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 September 13, 2011, 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 Federal 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 Federal Insurance Company, including the opportunity to obtain stable, low-cost insurance coverage from Federal Insurance Company, justify paying the Reserve Premium and making the commitments for additional payments to Federal 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 Federal Insurance Company including but not limited to executing a signature commitment to Federal Insurance Company and obtaining a Letter of Credit from State Street Bank and Trust Company; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Joint Insured Fidelity Bond Agreement between the Funds and the other named joint insureds, as previously provided to the Directors, be, and it hereby is, re-approved;

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, 2010 to November 1, 2011.
