              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

 -------       -------
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
         ----             ----

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

                                     - 1 -

<PAGE>

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.
