Section 2.1 BlackRock Capital Stock.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, PNC covenants and agrees with BlackRock that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, acquire, offer or propose to acquire or agree to acquire, whether by purchase, tender or exchange offer, through the acquisition of control of another Person (whether by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise), by joining a partnership, syndicate or other Group or otherwise, the Beneficial Ownership of any additional BlackRock Capital Stock, if after giving effect to such acquisition or action, PNC, together with its Affiliates, would Beneficially Own BlackRock Capital Stock representing more than its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the acquisition (whether by merger, consolidation, exchange of equity interests, purchase of all or part of the equity interests or assets or otherwise) by PNC or an Affiliate thereof of any Person that Beneficially Owns BlackRock Capital Stock, or the acquisition of BlackRock Capital Stock in connection with securing or collecting a debt previously contracted in good faith in the ordinary course of PNC's or such Affiliate's banking, brokerage or securities business, shall not constitute a violation of its Ownership Cap; provided that (i) the primary purpose of any such transaction is not to avoid the provisions of this Agreement, including its Ownership Cap (or the higher amount provided by Section 2.4 if then applicable), and (ii) that in the case of an acquisition of another Person, it uses reasonable best efforts to negotiate terms in connection with the relevant acquisition agreement requiring such other Person to divest itself of sufficient BlackRock Capital Stock it Beneficially Owns so that its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap (or the higher amount provided by Section 2.4 if then applicable) would not be exceeded pro forma for the acquisition, with such divestiture to be effected concurrently with, or as promptly as practicable following, the consummation of such acquisition (but in no event more than 120 days following such consummation, or such longer period not in excess of 243 days following such consummation as may be necessary due to the possession of material non-public information or so that neither it nor any of its Affiliates incurs any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act if, for purposes of Section 16(b), they have not acquired Beneficial Ownership of any other shares of BlackRock Capital Stock or derivatives thereof after the date of the transaction that resulted in PNC exceeding its Ownership Cap) and, to the extent such divestiture does not occur despite the use of such reasonable best efforts, the successor or surviving Person to such transaction, if not PNC or such Affiliate, expressly assumes all obligations of PNC or such Affiliate, as the case

may be, under this Agreement; and provided, further, that the provisions of paragraph (c) below are complied with.

(c) i) If at any time other than to the extent permitted by Section 2.4 PNC or any of its Affiliates Beneficially Owns in the aggregate BlackRock Capital Stock representing more than its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap, then PNC shall, as soon as is reasonably practicable after its Ownership Percentage first exceeds its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap (but in no event more than 120 days thereafter, or such longer period not in excess of 243 days following such consummation as may be necessary due to the possession of material non-public information or so that neither it nor any of its Affiliates incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act if, for purposes of Section 16(b), they have not acquired Beneficial Ownership of any other shares of BlackRock Capital Stock or derivatives thereof after the date of the transaction that resulted in PNC exceeding its Ownership Cap) Transfer (after the lapse of any minimum holding period) a number of shares of BlackRock Capital Stock sufficient to reduce the amount of BlackRock Capital Stock Beneficially Owned by it and its Affiliates to an amount representing not greater than its Ownership Cap (or the higher amount provided by Section 2.4 if then applicable).

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event may PNC or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, including through any agreement or arrangement, exercise any voting rights, during the term of this Agreement, in respect of any BlackRock Capital Stock Beneficially Owned by it and its Affiliates representing in excess of its Voting Ownership Cap (or the higher amount provided by Section 2.4 if then applicable).

(d) Any BlackRock Capital Stock acquired and Beneficially Owned by PNC following the Closing (the "Closing") of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 15, 2006 (the "Transaction Agreement") shall be subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement as fully as if such shares of BlackRock Capital Stock were acquired by it at or prior to the Closing.

ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), PNC shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to acquire Beneficial Ownership of any shares of BlackRock Capital Stock from any Person other than BlackRock or a Significant Stockholder (other than pursuant to an acquisition effected in a manner contemplated by Section 2.1(b)) if after giving effect to such acquisition PNC, together with its Affiliates, would Beneficially Own BlackRock Capital Stock representing more than 90 percent of its Voting Ownership Cap.

Section 2.2 Prohibition of Certain Communications and Actions. PNC shall not and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their directors, officers and other agents not to (w) solicit, seek or offer to effect, or effect, (x) negotiate with or provide any information to the Board, any director or officer of BlackRock, any stockholder of BlackRock, any employee or union or other labor organization representing employees of BlackRock or any other Person with respect to, (y) make any statement or proposal, whether written or oral, either alone or in concert with others, to the Board, any director or officer of BlackRock or any stockholder of, any employee or union or other labor organization representing employees of BlackRock or any other Person with respect to, or (z) make any public announcement (except as required by law in respect of actions permitted hereby) or proposal or offer whatsoever (including, but not limited

to, any "solicitation" of "proxies" as such terms are defined or used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act) with respect to

(a) any acquisition, offer to acquire, or agreement to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or any other action the purpose or result of which would be to Beneficially Own (i) BlackRock Capital Stock or direct or indirect right to acquire any BlackRock Capital Stock or Voting Securities of any successor to or person in control of BlackRock in an amount which, when added to any other BlackRock Capital Stock then Beneficially Owned by PNC or any of its Affiliates would cause the total amount of Voting Securities of BlackRock Beneficially Owned by PNC or any of its Affiliates to exceed its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap, or (ii) any equity securities of any Controlled Affiliate of BlackRock (in each case except to the extent such acquisition, offer or agreement would be permissible under Section 2.1),

(b) any form of business combination or similar or other extraordinary transaction involving BlackRock or any Controlled Affiliate of BlackRock, including, without limitation, a merger, tender or exchange offer or sale of any substantial portion of the assets of BlackRock or any Controlled Affiliate of BlackRock,

(c) any form of restructuring, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to BlackRock or any Controlled Affiliate of BlackRock,

(f) selling any share of BlackRock Capital Stock in an unsolicited tender offer that is opposed by the Board,

(g) any proposal to seek representation on the Board except as contemplated by this Agreement or, other than as permitted by the proviso to Section 4.6(a) any proposal to seek to control or influence the management, Board or policies of BlackRock or any Controlled Affiliate of BlackRock, or

(h) encourage, join, act in concert with or assist (including, but not limited to, providing or assisting in any way in the obtaining of financing for, or acting as a joint or co-bidder with) any third party to do any of the foregoing (the actions referred to in the foregoing provisions of this sentence being referred to as "Prohibited Actions"). If at any time PNC or any Affiliate thereof is approached by any Person requesting PNC or any Affiliate to encourage, join, act in concert with or assist any Person in a Prohibited Action involving the assets, businesses or securities of BlackRock or any of its Controlled Affiliates or any other Prohibited Actions, PNC will promptly inform BlackRock of the nature of such contact and the parties thereto.

Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall limit the ability of any Director, including any PNC Designee, to act in his or her capacity as a Director in respect of Board matters.

Section 2.3 Additional Purchases of Voting Securities. From and after the Closing, at any time that BlackRock effects an issuance (a "Stock Issuance") of additional Voting Securities other than in connection with any employee restricted stock, stock option, incentive or other employee benefit plan to any Person or Persons other than PNC or any Affiliate thereof PNC shall, subject to Section 2.1, have the right (a) to purchase from BlackRock (in each instance, an "Additional BlackRock Stock Purchase") additional Voting Securities of the same class or series issued in the Stock Issuance or, at PNC's option, additional shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock, such that following the Stock Issuance, such purchase and any exchange pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.3, PNC will Beneficially Own shares and/or other securities representing the lesser of (x) its Voting Ownership Cap and its Total Ownership Cap and (y) the same Ownership Percentage as it owned immediately prior to such Stock Issuance and (b) if as a result of such Stock Issuance PNC's Beneficial Ownership of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock decreases to less than 38.0%, to exchange such number of shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis such that following the Stock Issuance, any purchase pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.3 and such exchange, PNC will Beneficially Own shares of Common Stock and/or other securities representing not more than 38.0% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock; provided, however, that PNC shall not have such right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock and/or Series B Participating Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.3 to the extent that the total of all Stock Issuances (other than in connection with any employee restricted stock, stock option or stock incentive plan) constituting a public offering including the Stock Issuance in question since the Closing do not have the effect, after taking into account any repurchases of BlackRock Capital Stock by BlackRock since the Closing and any Transfers of BlackRock Capital Stock by PNC and its Affiliates in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(i) or (ii), of decreasing the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to such Stock Issuance Beneficially Owned by PNC and its Affiliates to 90% or less of PNC's Ownership Cap. If PNC exercises its right pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.3 within 30 days after the pricing date of such Stock Issuance and if the purchaser or purchasers of Voting Securities in such Stock Issuance pays cash in consideration for such securities, PNC shall pay an equal per security amount of cash consideration in the Additional BlackRock Stock Purchase following such Stock Issuance. In all other cases, the price that PNC shall pay to purchase the additional Voting Securities shall be the Fair Market

________________________________

To illustrate the foregoing, assume that immediately before a Stock Issuance by BlackRock, the Ownership Percentage of PNC and its Affiliates was 38% (which increase resulted from repurchases conducted by BlackRock as contemplated by Section 2.4). If such Stock Issuance was a public offering and resulted in PNC's Ownership Percentage being diluted to 35%, then PNC would not be entitled to acquire additional Voting Securities or shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock in connection with that Stock Issuance. If, however, a subsequent Stock Issuance diluted PNC's Ownership Percentage to, e.g., 30%, PNC would be entitled to acquire additional Voting Securities or shares of Series B Participating Preferred Stock which, after taking into account all of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx'x purchases pursuant to the comparable provision of its Second Amended and Restated Stockholder Agreement with BlackRock, dated the date hereof, would be sufficient to give PNC an Ownership Percentage of 90% of its initial Ownership Cap. Any subsequent Stock Issuance could also result in PNC having the right to make an Additional BlackRock Stock Purchase.

Value per unit of the class or series of Voting Securities. BlackRock shall give PNC written notice of any Stock Issuance as far in advance as practicable and also on the date of completion.

Section 2.4 BlackRock Share Repurchases. If BlackRock engages in any share repurchase program or self-tender that has the effect of causing the Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock by PNC and its Affiliates to exceed its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap, subject to any restrictions in the Exchange Act, PNC shall, at the request of BlackRock, promptly sell such number of shares of BlackRock Capital Stock to BlackRock as shall cause the Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock by PNC and its Affiliates not to exceed its Voting Ownership Cap or Total Ownership Cap; provided, that PNC shall be permitted to Beneficially Own not more than 49.9 percent of the Total Voting Power of the Voting Securities of BlackRock issued and outstanding if such increased Beneficial Ownership by PNC is solely due to share repurchases or self-tenders by BlackRock.

ARTICLE III

Section 3.2 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) PNC shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, Transfer any Beneficially Owned BlackRock Capital Stock or agree to Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Beneficially Owned BlackRock Capital Stock; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not be applicable to Transfers:

(i) to an Affiliate of PNC which agrees in writing with BlackRock to be bound by this Agreement as fully as if it were an initial signatory hereto;

(ii) pursuant to (A) the restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act applicable to sales of securities by Affiliates of an issuer (regardless of whether PNC is deemed at such time to be an Affiliate of BlackRock) or (B) privately negotiated transactions to any Person described in Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act who is eligible to report the holdings of BlackRock Capital Stock on Schedule 13G and who after consummation of such transaction would have Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock representing in the aggregate not more than 10% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock; or any other Person who after consummation of such transaction would have Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock representing in the aggregate not more than 5% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock; provided, that PNC or the Affiliate proposing to Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.2(a)(ii)(B) (the "Transferring Party") promptly provide to BlackRock

written notice (an "Initial Transfer Notice"), stating such Transferring Party's intention to effect such a Transfer, and stating that PNC will comply with the provisions of Section 3.3 and prior to making any Transfer or entering into any definitive agreement to do so shall provide to BlackRock a further written notice (a "Final Transfer Notice") stating such Transferring Party's intention to effect the specific transfer described therein (including price and terms (the "Last Look Price"));

(iii) pursuant to a distribution to the public, registered under the Securities Act, in which PNC uses its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) effect as wide a distribution of such BlackRock Capital Stock as is reasonably practicable, and (B) not knowingly, after inquiry, sell any shares of BlackRock Capital Stock to:

(1) any Person described in Section 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act who is eligible to report the holdings of BlackRock Capital stock on Schedule 13G and who after consummation of such offering would have Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock representing in the aggregate more than 10% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock; or

(2) any other Person who after consummation of such offering would have Beneficial Ownership of BlackRock Capital Stock representing in the aggregate more than 5% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock; or

(iv) with the prior written consent of a majority of the Independent Directors.

(b) If PNC wishes or is required to Transfer an amount of BlackRock Capital Stock constituting more than 10% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock, PNC and BlackRock shall coordinate regarding optimizing the manner of distribution and sale of such shares, including whether such sale should occur through an underwritten offering and shall cooperate in the marketing of any such offering.

(c) PNC shall reimburse BlackRock for any fees and expenses incurred in connection with any Transfer by PNC pursuant to this Section 3.2 (other than any Transfer pursuant to Sections 3.3(a) and 3.3(b)).

Section 3.3 Right of Last Refusal.

(a) Upon receipt of a Final Transfer Notice, unless the proposed Transfer described therein is being made in a tax-free or tax-deferred Transfer, including to a charitable organization or foundation, BlackRock will have an irrevocable and transferable option to purchase all of the BlackRock Capital Stock subject to such Final Transfer Notice at the Last Look Price and otherwise on the terms and conditions described in the Final Transfer Notice. BlackRock and/or its transferees (collectively, and/or separately the "BlackRock Party") shall, within 10 Business Days from receipt of the Final Transfer Notice, indicate if it intends to exercise such option by sending irrevocable written notice of any such exercise to the Transferring Party, and such BlackRock Party shall then be obligated to purchase all such

BlackRock Capital Stock on terms and conditions no less favorable (other than date of closing) to Transferring Party than those set forth in the Final Transfer Notice.

(b) If a BlackRock Party elects to purchase all of such BlackRock Capital Stock, the BlackRock Party and the Transferring Party shall be legally obligated to consummate such transaction and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate such transaction as promptly as practicable but in any event within 10 Business Days following the delivery of such election notice or, if later, 5 Business Days after receipt of all required regulatory approvals (but in no event more than 60 days after the delivery of such election notice).

(c) If a BlackRock Party does not elect to purchase all of such BlackRock Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 3.3 (or if, having made such election, does not complete such purchase within the applicable time period specified in Section 3.3(b)), then the Transferring Party shall be free for a period of 30 days from the date the election notice was due to be received from a BlackRock Party to enter into definitive agreements to Transfer such BlackRock Capital Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(a)(ii) for not less than the Last Look Price; provided that any such definitive agreement provides for the consummation of such Transfer to take place within nine months from the date of such definitive agreement and is otherwise on terms not more favorable to the transferee in any material respect than were contained in the Final Transfer Notice. In the event that the Transferring Party has not entered into such a definitive agreement with such 30-day period, or has so entered into such an agreement but has not consummated the sale of such BlackRock Capital Stock within nine months from the date of such definitive agreement, then the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall again apply, and such Transferring Party shall not Transfer or offer to Transfer such BlackRock Capital Stock not so Transferred without again complying with this Section 3.3, to the extent applicable.

(d) Each of the time periods set forth in Section 3.3(a)-(c) above shall be doubled if the number of shares PNC seeks to Transfer (as set forth in the Final Transfer Notice) exceeds 4.5% of the Total Voting Power of the BlackRock Capital Stock, or shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible upon transfer into in excess of 4.5% of the Total Voting Power of BlackRock Capital Stock, issued and outstanding at that time.

Section 3.4 Legend on Securities.

(a) Each certificate representing shares of BlackRock Capital Stock Beneficially Owned by PNC or its Affiliates and subject to the terms of this Agreement shall bear the following legend on the face thereof:

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN A CERTAIN AMENDED AND RESTATED IMPLEMENTATION AND STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT DATED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2008, BETWEEN BLACKROCK, INC. (THE "COMPANY") AND THE PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES

GROUP, INC., AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (THE "AGREEMENT"), COPIES OF WHICH AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY."

(b) Upon any acquisition by PNC or its Affiliates of additional shares of BlackRock Capital Stock, PNC shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, submit the certificates representing such shares of BlackRock Capital Stock to BlackRock so that the legend required by this Section 3.4 may be placed thereon (if not so endorsed upon issuance).

(c) BlackRock may make a notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agents or registrars for BlackRock Capital Stock in order to implement the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Agreement.

(d) In connection with any Transfer of shares of Beneficially Owned BlackRock Capital Stock, the transferor shall provide BlackRock with such customary certificates, opinions and other documents as BlackRock may reasonably request to assure that such Transfer complies fully with this Agreement and with applicable securities and other laws. In connection with any Transfer pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), BlackRock shall remove such portion of the foregoing legend as is appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 3.5 Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control of PNC within the first five years after the Closing and a determination of Material Effect by the Board within twelve months after the occurrence of such Change in Control, PNC (or any successor Person) shall, as promptly as practicable after receiving notice of such Material Effect, initiate and thereafter as promptly as practicable (consistent with applicable legal requirements including normal blackout periods and Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) Transfer in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.2 and/or 3.3 of this Agreement or such other manner as the parties shall have agreed is optimal in the circumstances and will not result in an "assignment" of any investment advisory agreements of BlackRock and its Controlled Affiliates under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940) all shares of BlackRock Capital Stock Beneficially Owned by it and its Affiliates immediately after giving effect to such Change of Control. The parties shall cooperate in completing and marketing such Transfer, and shall take into account all relevant considerations, including market conditions, in determining the timing and manner of such Transfer.

Neither BlackRock nor PNC shall take or cause to be taken any action inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation this Article IV) or the rights of BlackRock or PNC hereunder.

Section 4.5 Information Rights.

(a) BlackRock acknowledges that the investments PNC in BlackRock are material and strategic to it.

(i) BlackRock shall provide PNC with (A) consolidated financial results for the latest available period of the BlackRock consolidated group (the “BlackRock Group”) in order to allow PNC to prepare its US regulatory filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“PNC Public Filings”), including PNC’s quarterly financial statements and annual audited financial statements and (B) such financial information or documents in the possession of BlackRock and any of its Subsidiaries as PNC may reasonably request; and

BlackRock agrees to provide to PNC all information that PNC reasonably requests in connection with any PNC Public Filings or that, in the reasonable judgment of PNC or its legal counsel, is required to be disclosed or incorporated by reference therein under any applicable law. BlackRock shall provide such information to enable PNC to prepare, print and release all PNC Public Filings on a timely basis. BlackRock shall use its best reasonable efforts to cause BlackRock’s Auditors to consent to any reference to them as experts in any PNC Public Filings required under applicable law.

(i) Subject to the requirements of law, PNC shall keep confidential, and shall cause its representatives to keep confidential, all information and documents obtained pursuant to this Section 4.5 unless such information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 4.5(d) by it or its representatives; (B) was within its possession prior to being furnished to it by or on behalf of BlackRock, provided that the source of such information was not known by it to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual or legal obligation of confidentiality to, BlackRock with respect to such information; (C) is or becomes available to such Person or any of its representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than BlackRock or any of its representatives; provided that such source was not known to it to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual or legal obligation of confidentiality to, BlackRock with respect to such information; or (D) is independently developed by or on its behalf without violating any of its obligations under this Section 4.5(d).

(ii) In the event PNC believes that it is legally required to disclose any information or documents contemplated by this Section 4.5(d), it shall to the extent possible under the circumstances provide reasonable prior notice to BlackRock so that BlackRock may, at its own expense, seek a protective order or otherwise take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of such information.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, PNC may disclose any information or documents contemplated by this Section 4.5(d) in a filing with a governmental authority to the extent required by applicable law, provided that it shall to the extent practicable under the circumstances provide prior notice to BlackRock.

(iv) The rights of PNC and the obligations of BlackRock hereunder shall be subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information and other applicable laws. The provisions of this Section 4.5(d) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) PNC shall, and shall cause any of its Affiliates, to vote or act by written consent all of the shares of BlackRock Capital Stock Beneficially Owned by it (i) in favor of each matter required to effectuate any provision of this Agreement and against any matter the approval of which would be inconsistent with any provision of this Agreement and (ii) to the extent consistent with clause (i) above, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board on all matters approved by the Board in accordance with the provisions of Article IV, including elections of Directors; provided, however, that if the Board shall fail to nominate for election as a Director either or both of the two individuals designated by PNC who are reasonably acceptable to the Board, or shall unreasonably reject one or more PNC designees who is otherwise eligible to serve, then, so long as such individuals otherwise meet the requirements for serving as a Director of BlackRock, PNC and its Affiliates shall have the right to nominate such individuals at the applicable meeting of stockholders and to solicit proxies for the election of such individuals and, if such individuals are nominated at such meeting, may vote all of their shares of

BlackRock Capital Stock entitled to vote on such matter in favor of the election of such individuals.

(b) PNC shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates who hold BlackRock Capital Stock entitled to vote on any matter, be present in person or represented by proxy at all meetings of securityholders of BlackRock to the extent necessary so that all Voting Securities Beneficially Owned by PNC and its Affiliates shall be counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting and to vote such shares in accordance with this Section 4.6.

Section 4.7 Related Party Transactions. Neither BlackRock nor any of its Controlled Affiliates shall enter into or effectuate any transaction or agreement with PNC or any Affiliate of PNC or any director, officer or employee of PNC or any such Affiliate (each a "Related Person"), unless such transaction or agreement is in effect at the time of the Closing, relates to transactions by or on behalf of clients of BlackRock and its Controlled Affiliates in the ordinary course of business or has been approved by or is consistent with or pursuant to the terms of a policy, transaction or agreement (or form of agreement) approved by, the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the Directors, excluding the PNC Designees, present at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

Section 4.8 Bank Holding Company.

Section 4.9 Dividend Payout Ratio. In connection with its approval of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and related matters, the Board of Directors of BlackRock has adopted a dividend policy establishing a 40% targeted payout ratio, with all subsequent quarterly dividend declarations under such policy remaining subject to the relevant board's fiduciary discretion. In the resolutions adopting such policy, the Board of BlackRock has committed not to revise the dividend payout ratio downward, except in furtherance of the Board of Directors' fiduciary duties or other prudential financial considerations.

Section 6.1 Conflicting Agreements. Each party represents and warrants that it has not granted and is not a party to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement that is inconsistent with or conflicts with any provision of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Termination. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate upon the first date on which PNC and its Affiliates Beneficially Own BlackRock Capital Stock representing less than PNC's Ownership Threshold (unless PNC has, within ten Business Days of notice that it has fallen below such Ownership Threshold, indicated its intent to increase its Beneficial Ownership above such Ownership Threshold, and PNC in fact so increases such ownership in excess of its Ownership Threshold within twenty Business Days after such notice); provided, however, that in the case of a termination pursuant to this Section 6.2, the obligations of the parties pursuant to Article III, 4.2(c)(ii) and 4.8 hereof shall not terminate until the first date on which PNC and its Affiliates Beneficially Own BlackRock Capital Stock representing less than five percent of the Total Voting Power of the BlackRock Capital Stock issued and outstanding at such time. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination hereof or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.3 Ownership Information.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of the amount of outstanding BlackRock Capital Stock shall be based on information set forth in the most recent quarterly or annual report, and any current report subsequent thereto, filed by BlackRock with the Commission, unless BlackRock shall have updated such information by delivery of written notice to PNC.

(b) If at any time or from time to time BlackRock becomes aware of any event that has caused, or which could reasonably be expected to cause, the Beneficial Ownership by PNC and its Affiliates of BlackRock Capital Stock to increase above its Ownership Cap, BlackRock shall promptly (but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter) notify PNC thereof.

Section 6.4 Savings Clause. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require any party or its Controlled Affiliates to take any action that would violate any applicable law (whether statutory or common), rule or regulation.

waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no giving of any consent provided for hereunder, shall be effective unless such modification, amendment, waiver or consent is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 6.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 6.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.10 Remedies.

(a) Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that each and every one of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their terms, and it is therefore agreed that, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically each and every one of the terms and provisions hereof. Each party hereto agrees not to oppose the

granting of such relief in the event a court determines that such a breach has occurred, and to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 6.12 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any court of the United States located in the State of Delaware, for any action, proceeding or investigation in any court or before any governmental authority ("Litigation") arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any such Litigation, the defense of sovereign immunity, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 6.12, that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that the Litigation in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Litigation is improper, or that this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, xxxxxx or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which the party is entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Each of the parties expressly acknowledges that the foregoing waiver is intended to be irrevocable under the laws of the State of Delaware and of the United States of America; provided that consent by PNC and BlackRock to jurisdiction and service contained in this Section 6.12 is solely for the purpose referred to in this Section 6.12 and shall not be deemed to be a general submission to said courts or in the State of Delaware other than for such purpose.
