c. Reduced Sales Charge

The sales charge on Investor A Shares may be reduced or eliminated using Rights of Accumulation ("ROA") or Letter of Intent ("LOI"). WhileROA remains on your account(s), an LOI is limited to purchases made duringa 13month period (review the Fund's prospectus to determine eligibility). Important Note: If this sectionis not completed (or improperly completed), you may not receive the appropriate breakpoint on your purchase(s).

Rights of Accumulation (ROA) ? The market value of your existing BlackRock holdings are added to the current purchase amount to determine the qualifying breakpoint (i.e. a $25,000 purchase added to $92,000 in existing BlackRock Funds would

meet the $100,000 breakpoint).

Using Rights of Accumulation, I expect to reach the following breakpoint on my initial Investor A Share purchase:

$25,000 $100,000 $500,000

$50,000 $250,000 $750,000

Letter of Intent (LOI) ? I agree to the Letter of Intent provisions of the prospectus. I understand that the current market value (as of the date of commencement of the LOI) in any of the qualifying accounts listed below will count toward meeting this breakpoint.

Although I am not obligated to purchase, and the Fund is not obligated to sell, I intend to invest an aggregate amount in BlackRock Funds needed to meet the breakpoint checked below over a 13-month period beginning on __________________

Date (mm/dd/yyyy)

$1,000,000

Using a Letter of Intent, I expect to reach the following breakpoint on Investor A Share purchases during the LOI period:

$25,000 $100,000 $500,000 $1,000,000

$50,000 $250,000 $750,000

Accounts to include toward a reduced sales charge (ROA and/or LOI):

Please list account numbers (or Social Security numbers) held directly with BlackRock that you wish to combine for ROA

and/or LOI. NOTE: If you wish to include assets in BlackRock Funds held through a financial intermediary, you must include the most recent statement detailing the holdings (and purchases for LOI) in BlackRock Funds from the financial intermediary.
