Exhibit 77Q1(e)
Closed-End Fund Master Advisory Fee Waiver Agreement
This MASTER ADVISORY FEE WAIVER AGREEMENT (this "Agreement")
is made as of the 2nd day of December, 2016, by and among
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") an "Adviser") and each
investment company listed on Schedule A attached hereto (each, a
"Fund").
WHEREAS, each Fund is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end
management company, and is organized as a statutory trust under
the laws of the State of Delaware, a limited liability company
under the laws of the State of Delaware, a business trust under
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or a corporation
under the laws of the State of Maryland;
WHEREAS, the Adviser and each Fund are parties to investment
advisory agreements (the "Advisory Agreements"), pursuant to
which the Adviser provides investment advisory services to each
Fund in consideration of compensation as set forth in each
Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Fee"); and
WHEREAS, the Adviser has determined that it is appropriate
and in the best interests of each Fund and its interestholders
to waive part of each Fund's Advisory Fee as set forth in
Schedule B attached hereto (the "Fee Waiver"). Each Fund and the
Adviser, therefore, have entered into this Agreement in order to
effect the Fee Waiver for each Fund at the level specified in
Schedule B attached hereto on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set
forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Contractual Fee Waiver. During the Term (as defined in
Section 3 below), the Adviser shall waive a portion of its
Advisory Fee with respect to each Fund as set forth in Schedule
B attached hereto.
2. Voluntary Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement. Nothing herein
shall preclude an Adviser from contractually waiving other fees
and/or reimbursing expenses of any Fund, voluntarily waiving
Advisory Fees it is entitled to from any Fund or voluntarily
reimbursing expenses of any Fund as the Adviser, in its
discretion, deems reasonable or appropriate. Any such voluntary
waiver or voluntary expense reimbursement may be modified or
terminated by the Adviser at any time in its sole and absolute
discretion without the approval of the Fund's Board of Trustees
or Board of Directors, as the case may be.
3. Term; Termination.
3.1 Term. The term ("Term") of the Fee Waiver with respect to
a Fund shall begin on December 2, 2016 (or such other date as
agreed to in writing between the Adviser and the Fund) and end
with respect to a Fund after the close of business on the date
set forth on Schedule A (or such other date as agreed to in
writing between the Adviser and the Fund) unless the Fee Waiver
is earlier terminated in accordance with Section 3.2. The Term
of the Fee Waiver with respect to a Fund may be continued from
year to year thereafter provided that each such continuance is
specifically approved by the Adviser and the Fund (including
with respect to the Fund, a majority of the Fund's Trustees or
Directors, as the case may be, who are not "interested persons,"
as defined in the 1940 Act, of the Advisers (the "Non-Interested
Directors")). Neither the Adviser nor a Fund shall be obligated
to extend the Fee Waiver with respect to the Fund.
3.2 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to
expiration by any Fund with respect to such Fund without payment
of any penalty, upon 90 days' prior written notice to the
Adviser at its principal place of business (or at an earlier
date as may be agreed to by both parties); provided that, such
action shall be authorized by resolution of a majority of the
Non-Interested Directors of such Fund or by a vote of a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund.
4. Miscellaneous.
4.1 Captions. The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no other way define or
delineate any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their
construction or effect.
4.2 Interpretation. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to require a Fund to take any action contrary to the Fund's
Declaration of Trust or Articles of Incorporation, as the case
may be, or Bylaws, or any applicable statutory or regulatory
requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or
to relieve or deprive the Fund's Board of Trustees or Board of
Directors, as the case may be, of its responsibility for and
control of the conduct of the affairs of the Fund.
4.3 Limitation of Liability. The obligations and expenses
incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a
Fund shall be enforced against the assets of such Fund and not
against the assets of any other Fund.
4.4 Definitions. Any question of interpretation of any term
or provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to the
computations of average daily net assets or of any Advisory Fee,
and the allocation of expenses, having a counterpart in or
otherwise derived from the terms and provisions of the relevant
Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Fund or the 1940
Act, shall have the same meaning as and be resolved by reference
to such Advisory Agreement or the 1940 Act, as applicable, and
to interpretations thereof, if any, by the United States Courts
or in the absence of any controlling decision of any such Court,
by rules, regulations or orders of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") issued pursuant to the 1940 Act. In addition,
if the effect of a requirement of the 1940 Act reflected in any
provision of this Agreement is revised by rule, regulation or
order of the SEC, that provision will be deemed to incorporate
the effect of that rule, regulation or order. Otherwise the
provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted in accordance
with the substantive laws of the State of New York.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to
be signed by their respective officers as of the day and year
first above written.
