The Banks and Borrowers under the Credit Agreement (as defined below)
| Re: | Consent to Joinder of BlackRock Funds and Amendment of Credit Agreement |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We refer to that certain Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 14, 2022 (as such Credit Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among each of the investment companies party thereto (on behalf of themselves or, as applicable, on behalf of certain of their series, the “Borrowers”), the various banks party thereto (the “Banks”), Citibank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A., Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding, Inc., as syndication agents, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the Banks (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
The following Delaware statutory trusts, not individually, but on behalf of the series thereof noted below, and Maryland corporation (collectively the “New Borrowers”) have requested that the Banks consent to their addition as parties to the Credit Agreement and the deeming of them as Borrowers thereunder. To the extent indicated below, a New Borrower shall be deemed to be a Designated Coverage Borrower and subject to the restrictions set forth thereon in the Credit Agreement. To the extent indicated below, a New Borrower shall be deemed to be a Designated Parent Borrower and subject to the restrictions set forth thereon in the Credit Agreement and any subsidiary of such Designated Parent Borrower set forth below shall be deemed to be a Designated Subsidiary of such Designated Parent Borrower.

| BlackRock ETF Trust, a Delaware statutory trust | BlackRock Future Financial and Technology ETF | No | No | |||
| BlackRock ETF Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust | BlackRock Floating Rate Loan ETF | No | No | |||
| BlackRock Large Cap Series Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation | BlackRock Advantage Large Cap Core Fund | No | No |
We ask that each Bank and each Borrower please sign below to indicate your consent to the following amendments to the Credit Agreement:1
(i) Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the definition of “Tranche B Borrowers” to read in its entirety as follows: “Tranche B Borrowers” means BlackRock Floating Rate Income Portfolio and such other Borrowers as may be so designated from time to time in an effective Joinder.
| 1 | New language is presented in bold solely for the purposes of highlighting the amendments. |
(ii) The first sentence of Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows: “Other investment companies (or series of investment companies), in addition to those Borrowers which are original signatories to this Agreement, may, with the written approval of all the Banks, become parties to this Agreement and be deemed Tranche A Borrowers or Tranche A Borrowers and Tranche B Borrowers, as applicable, in each case for all purposes of this Agreement by executing an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (with such changes therein may be approved by the Administrative Agent), which instrument shall (i) have attached to it a copy of this Agreement (as the same may have been amended) with a revised Allocation Notice reflecting the participation of such additional investment company and (ii) be accompanied by the documents and instruments required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, including, without limitation, an opinion of counsel for such Borrower, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel; provided, that the joinder of any Additional Borrower shall be effective no earlier than five (5) Business Days following receipt by the Banks of such documents and information requested by the Administrative Agent or any Bank that are reasonably required in order to comply with “know-your-customer” and other anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering and similar rules and regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act; and provided, further, that no such Additional Borrower shall be added unless each Bank consents, except that (A) to the extent an existing Borrower converts to a “master/feeder” structure, no consent shall be required for the master trust in such structure to become a Borrower hereunder after such conversion, provided the converting Borrower ceases to be a Borrower hereunder on or prior to such conversion and provided that such master trust is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and (B) to the extent that an existing Borrower which is a “master trust” is merged into (or transfers all or substantially all of its assets and liabilities to) its feeder fund (the “Former Feeder Fund”), no consent shall be required for such Former Feeder Fund to become a Borrower if in connection with such merger or transfer such Former Feeder Fund shall hold all or substantially all the assets and liabilities of the prior master trust, such Former Feeder Fund is formed under the laws of a State in the United States and, prior to such merger or transfer, such Former Feeder Fund shall have no Debt. The Joinder pursuant to which an Additional Borrower becomes a Borrower under this Agreement shall specify whether such Additional Borrower is a Tranche A Borrower or a Tranche A Borrower and a Tranche B Borrower.”
Each Bank’s signature below shall also indicate such Bank’s consent to the addition of each New Borrower as a Borrower under the Credit Agreement pursuant to one or more Joinders, at any time on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date of this letter agreement, without further consent of the Banks, provided that (i) all of the requirements (other than the consent of the Banks which is granted by the signature of the Banks below) of Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement have been met with respect to such New Borrower, (ii) unless separately consented to by the Required Banks, the final Prospectus and SAI (if applicable) of such New Borrower shall be, (x) as to the fundamental investment objectives, policies or restrictions, identical to, and, (y) otherwise, substantially similar to, the draft or preliminary versions of the Prospectus and SAI (if applicable) delivered to the Banks in connection with this letter agreement, and (iii) the Joinder delivered in connection therewith identifies each Custodian for such New Borrower (which identification shall be deemed to amend Schedule 5.20 to the Credit Agreement with such information). The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to deliver to the Banks copies of such Xxxxxxxx and such documents delivered to it by or on behalf of each New Borrower for the purpose of meeting the requirements of Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon the effectiveness of such additions, all New Borrowers shall be Tranche A Borrowers and BlackRock Floating Rate Loan ETF shall also be a Tranche B Borrower.
2
Each Borrower’s signature below shall also indicate such Borrower’s representation as to itself that as of the date hereof and after giving effect hereto: (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to itself as of the date hereof; and (ii) each of its representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement is true on and as of the date hereof (unless any such representation and warranty shall relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).
This letter agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the substantive laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law rules. For the avoidance of doubt, this letter agreement is a Loan Document.
This letter agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this letter agreement and/or (y) any certificate, opinion or other document related to this letter agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this letter agreement and are hereby authorized by the Administrative Agent and each other party hereto. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this letter agreement and any other Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of each New Borrower or its agents or attorneys without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Bank, any such Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.
