IT ALSO REPRESENTS THAT AS OF THE DATE OF PLACING ANY ORDER BY USING THE SITE THROUGH ITS AUTHORISED USERS, IT HAS REVIEWED THE THEN CURRENT PRE-CONTRACTUAL DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS.

Important Notices and Acknowledgements

a. Where the Umbrella User is acting on behalf of an underlying client when it places orders for Shares in Funds, the Site Operator will treat the Umbrella User (and not the Umbrella User's underlying client) as its client, including for the purposes of MiFID II.

b. For the avoidance of doubt, the Site Operator provides services to the Umbrella User and not the Authorised User.

c. BlackRock, Inc., its subsidiary companies, including the Site Operators and each of their affiliates, agents, officers, directors and employees (collectively “BlackRock”) reserve the right to change, modify, add or remove portions of these Terms at any time for any reason and without the consent of the Umbrella User or any Authorised User. Such changes shall be effective immediately upon posting on the Site. BlackRock suggests that the Umbrella User and its Authorised Users review these Terms periodically for changes. The Umbrella User acknowledges that by accessing the Site after BlackRock has posted changes to these Terms, it is agreeing to these Terms as modified and will procure that any Authorised User acts at all times in a manner that is consistent with these Terms as so modified and will not cause the Umbrella User to breach any provisions within the Terms as so modified.

d. These Terms contain warranty and liability disclaimers. Pursuant to clause 4(c), by using the Site the Umbrella User accepts and agrees to these Terms as may be modified by BlackRock from time to time without any reservations, modifications, additions, or deletions. The Umbrella User and Authorised Users may be denied access to the Site, with or without prior notice, if they do not comply with any provision of these Terms.

e. Nothing contained on the Site constitutes tax, accounting, regulatory, legal, insurance or investment advice. Decisions based on information contained on the Site are the sole responsibility of Umbrella Users and their Authorised Users. Nothing contained on the Site is or constitutes a recommendation (express or implied) or advice (express or implied) to make any investment decision. The Site does not recommend or promote any of the Funds and the inclusion of any given Fund(s) on the Site is not an endorsement, recommendation or promotion of that Fund/those Funds. BlackRock will not publish any investment research or advice on the Site, and nothing contained on the Site is or constitutes investment research or advice.

f. The Umbrella User acknowledges and agrees that: (i) BlackRock's sole responsibility hereunder is to provide the Site as described in these Terms; (ii) the Umbrella User (acting through its Authorised Users) will be solely responsible for any judgements relating to order placements (accordingly, BlackRock will not be responsible and will not have any liability for any actions or inactions of or conclusions drawn by any Authorised User with respect to any matter, whether or not based to any extent on the Site and/or the information provided therein); and (iii) BlackRock is not acting in a fiduciary capacity, is not acting as agent of the Umbrella User or any Authorised User, is not serving as an investment advisor and is not making any recommendations (including based on the analyses or system tools provided on the Site).

g. The Umbrella User acknowledges and agrees that access and use of the Site does not constitute any offer to buy or sell any financial products, and does not constitute any solicitation to buy or sell any financial products. The Umbrella User acknowledges and agrees that the Site Operator in its capacity as operator of the Site does not make any offer to buy or sell any financial products, and will not make any solicitation to buy or sell any financial products.

h. In exchange for using the Site and giving access to the Umbrella Users and its Authorised Users, the Umbrella User shall provide the indemnifications set out in clause 17.

i. The Umbrella User understands and will procure that each Authorised User understands that the Site may rely on certain assumptions and judgements, such as with respect to the relationship among market risk factors and the Funds. Any analyses, models, and methodologies, and related system tools on the Site are generally based on observations of past market behaviour that may not hold true in the future. Such assumptions may not cover all aspects of, or risks inherent in, any holdings of the Umbrella User, the Funds, and calculation scenarios.

j. All information about the Funds (including information related to the placing of orders) and related documentation (including but not limited to prospectuses, other constitutive documents, and information on performance) displayed on the Site is provided by the Funds or their agents, and BlackRock is not responsible or liable for (a) the accuracy or completeness (including whether documents or information are up to date) of the information or documents provided in relation to those Funds or (b) any inaccuracy or incompleteness of any analytics, chart or other similar output on the Site caused by any inaccuracy or incompleteness in the underlying information or documents provided to BlackRock by any Fund or their agent (or by a failure of the same to provide any updated documents or information to BlackRock in a timely fashion or in the required format).

k. Furthermore, the Umbrella User acknowledges that not all Funds may lend themselves to explicit analytically derived risk measures. As such, risk analyses and calculations performed on the Site are based on information BlackRock deems to be reliable, but BlackRock cannot and does not guarantee their accuracy or completeness. The Umbrella User acknowledges that significant professional disagreement exists regarding the accuracy and validity of these types of analyses and methodologies, and that there is no assurance that the analyses and methodologies used by BlackRock or provided by BlackRock are or will be appropriate for the Umbrella User or any Authorised User.

l. Each Fund (including its manager and transfer agent) retains the right to (i) reject, for any reason or no reason, any request for subscription made through the Site, and (ii) reject or delay the satisfaction of redemption requests in accordance with the terms of its prospectus.

m. BlackRock reserves the right to refuse to provide any Funds on the Site at any time, and to refuse access to or use of the Site to anyone at any time.

n. The Umbrella User represents and agrees that it will not allow an Authorised User based outside the jurisdiction in which the Umbrella User is situated to use the Site without the prior written consent of the Site Operator, except in the case of an EEA company where the Authorised User uses the Site from the jurisdiction in which the Umbrella User has an EEA branch.

Authorised Users

a. The Umbrella User will procure that all of its employees, contractors, officers and agents who access the Site, or other persons who access the Site on its behalf, comply with and at all times will act in a manner consistent with these Terms.

b. The Umbrella User will specify to the Site Operator in a form prescribed by the Site Operator the natural persons whom the Umbrella User wishes to have access to the Site in order to use the Site on the Umbrella User's behalf. Once the Site Operator(s) has issued the Security Information (defined below) in respect of any such person, that person will be an "Authorised User".

c. The Site Operator will provide the Authorised Users with Access IDs and Security Passwords (collectively, “Security Information”). The Umbrella User may not obtain unauthorised access to the Site, or to any other protected materials or information, through any means not intentionally made available by BlackRock for the Umbrella User's specific use. The Umbrella User understands that it shall be solely responsible for all order requests and information (and the use of the information) transmitted through the Site using any Security Information provided to the Umbrella User or its Authorised Users. BlackRock is not obligated to inquire as to the authority or accuracy of, and will not be liable for any loss, expense or other liability arising out of, instructions transmitted through the Site using any Security Information provided to the Umbrella User or its Authorised Users. The Umbrella User expressly agrees that the use of the Site, including the transmission and storage of any information through such use of the Site, is at the Umbrella User's sole risk and responsibility. The Umbrella User will be responsible for the security and proper use of Security Information. The Umbrella User will notify the Site Operator immediately if it becomes aware of any disclosure, loss, theft or unauthorised use of any Security Information. The Site Operator reserves the right to suspend or withdraw Security Information at any time if it considers that there has been or there is likely to be a breach of security or a breach of this clause

d. Accuracy. The Umbrella User is responsible for verifying the accuracy and receipt of all information transmitted via the Site and for immediately notifying the Site Operator of any errors, or inaccuracies or changes relating to information transmitted via the Site.

Placement of Orders

a. The Umbrella User understands that requests for order placements are transmitted through the Site and that the online acknowledgments or other messages that appear on the screen of an Authorised User for order placements being entered do not mean that orders have been received, accepted or rejected by the Funds or their agents unless and until the Funds or their agents have provided the Umbrella User with a written or electronically printable confirmation and confirmation number. All order requests will be deemed to have been made in the form received by the Funds or their agents. The Umbrella User is (through its Authorised Users) responsible for verifying the accuracy and receipt of all information transmitted via the Site and for immediately notifying the Funds of any errors or inaccuracies relating to information transmitted via the Site.

b. As a condition of accessing or using the Site to place order requests, the Umbrella User shall notify the Site Operator if: (i) an order request has been placed through the Site and an accurate acknowledgement has not been received (i.e. written or electronic printable confirmation with a confirmation number); (ii) an acknowledgement has been received (whether through hard copy, electronic or verbal means) of an execution of an order request that an Umbrella User acting through its Authorised User did not place; (iii) there is a discrepancy between any order request and the information reflected in a confirmation or account statement; or (iv) the Umbrella User or any Authorised User becomes aware of any unauthorised use of any Security Information. As a condition of using the Site to access account information, and/or to place order requests, the Umbrella User shall notify the Site Operator if it becomes aware of any unauthorised use of the Site.

c. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Umbrella User will be required to open an account with the transfer agent for the relevant Funds in which the Umbrella User would like to place orders for Shares using the Site. The Umbrella User will open an account with the relevant transfer agent of a Fund by submitting the relevant account opening form to the transfer agent directly, outside the Site environment.

d. BlackRock will rely on the Funds or its agents to provide account number(s) (for the account(s) with the transfer agents) to BlackRock and/or to verify account number(s) that are provided to BlackRock by the Umbrella User, which will enable the Site Operator to make the corresponding Funds available for Umbrella Users to place orders with the transfer agents of those Funds on the Site. It is the responsibility of the Umbrella User to confirm that the account numbers associated with their Security ID on the Site are accurate. BlackRock accepts no responsibility or liability for or in connection with any incorrect account information supplied to it from the Funds or their agents.

e. The Site will display the cut-off times to place orders for Shares for each Fund, as that information is provided to the Site Operator by the Funds or their agents. BlackRock accepts no responsibility for or liability in connection with the accuracy of that information, and is not liable to the Umbrella User (or any Authorised User) if it misses the cut-off time because the information supplied to the Site Operator is incorrect.

f. The Umbrella User (through its Authorised Users) is responsible for monitoring the cut-off times and other information and conditions in relation to placing orders for Shares in the Funds, which are available on the Site. The Umbrella User acknowledges and agrees that orders for Shares in Funds that are submitted close to the cut-off time may not be transmitted in time or may not be accepted by the Fund. The Site Operator will not usually place an order if such order is placed on or after the relevant cut-off time for a Fund. BlackRock, in any event, is not responsible for any order being rejected or for the receipt by a Fund of any order after the cut-off time where that order was placed on, after or shortly before the cut-off time notified on the Site. Each Fund has the right to reject any orders for Shares for any reason.

g. Before placing any order, the Umbrella User will ensure, and will procure that each Authorised User will ensure, using the Fund documentation (including its prospectus and other constitutive documentation available on the Site), that the order is being placed from a jurisdiction in which the respective Fund can be offered and in which the Umbrella User is eligible to be an investor.

Auto-settlement

a. The Umbrella User may separately agree with the Site Operator to automate settlement instructions for any orders the Umbrella User places on the Site for Shares in any Funds. Where the Umbrella User agrees that the Site Operator will provide this service, the Site Operator will issue SWIFT M101, MT102 or MT103 (or other format as may be notified to the Umbrella User) to the Umbrella User's bank account, which will be specified by the Umbrella User, to request settlement of the order if accepted by the Fund's transfer agent.

Under no circumstances ARE THE SITE OPERATORS or ANY blackrock ENTITY (WHICH, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, INCLUDES BlackRock, Inc. AND its subsidiary companies, AND THE SITE OPERATORS) to be JOINTLY LIABLE. EACH SITE OPERATOR and blackrock WILL BE SEVERALLY LIABLE FOR ANY LIABILITY ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN RESPECT OF THAT SITE OPERATOR or any blackrock entity.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS AND SHOULD NOT BE THE SOLE FACTOR OF CONSIDERATION WHEN SELECTING A PRODUCT.

Fund prospectuses and other information about Funds (“Fund Documents”) can usually be found on such Funds' website or that of their manager or sponsor.

The Fund Documents should be read carefully before making any investment decision.

The Umbrella User should consider the investment objectives, risks and expenses of a Fund carefully before investing.

A Fund may impose a fee upon sale of the Umbrella User's Shares or may temporarily suspend the Umbrella User's ability to sell Shares if a Fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Funds is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds' sponsors have no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Funds, and the Umbrella User should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Funds at any time.

Additional EMEA Disclosures:

The Funds included on the Site have been designated by their managers or operators as money market funds or can be considered substantially similar to money market funds ("MMFs"). MMFs are not guaranteed investment vehicles. An investment in MMFs is different from an investment in deposits; the principal invested in an MMF is capable of fluctuation and the risk of loss of the principal is to be borne by the investor.

An MMF does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the MMF or stabilising the NAV per Share.

Nothing herein or on the Site constitutes an offer to invest in a Fund. Any decision to invest should be made in accordance with the Fund's prospectus and any other materials that the prospectus may direct the Umbrella User to, including any Key Investor Information Document or, if applicable, Key Information Document, and the Fund's financial statements and reports.

Information about the Financial Instruments

a. The services offered by the Site Operator by allowing the Umbrella User to use the Site only consist of reception and transmission of client orders for Shares in various Funds. Generally speaking, the Funds are collective investment undertakings (as that term is used in MiFID II), the effect of which is to allow an investor to invest money on a pooled basis (along with one or more other investors), typically in accordance with specified investment guidelines. A collective investment undertaking may take various forms including, without limitation, corporates, partnerships or trusts.

b. All investments in Shares in Funds are made subject to the terms and conditions set out in the latest prospectus of that collective investment undertaking and, where relevant, the other constitutive documentation of that Fund, as amended from time to time.

c. An investor buys Shares in a Fund in the hope that the value rises over time as the prices of the underlying investments increase. The price of the Shares depends on how the underlying investments perform.

d.Some Funds are called ‘open-ended’ because the number of Shares in issue increases as more people invest and decreases as people take their money out. The Funds on the Site are all open-ended. Some funds may also be purchased or sold on secondary markets by investors The Site does not provide and is not a secondary trading facility.

e. All investment funds are subject to risks, including fluctuations in capital value, and in any particular year losses may be suffered. The managers of the Funds cannot guarantee that it will achieve the investment objectives set out for an investor.

f. The Umbrella User should always bear in mind that the price of Shares in a fund and the income from them can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed.

Inducement Disclosures

a. MiFID II introduces restrictions on and obligations in relation to the receipt and retention of fees, commissions, monetary and non-monetary benefits (“inducements”) where firms, regulated under MiFID II, provide certain services to clients, including reception and transmission of client orders, and certain execution services. In such cases, where a firm receives and retains an inducement, it must ensure that the receipt and retention of the inducement is designed to enhance the quality of the relevant service to the client and is properly disclosed. Where authorised intermediaries or distributors are subject to MiFID II and receive and/or retain any inducements, they must ensure that they comply with all applicable legislation, including, those introduced by MiFID II.

In order to provide services to the Umbrella User and to make the Site available to the Umbrella User, BlackRock will receive fees from the Funds and their managers and the Umbrella User agrees that BlackRock may receive these fees. Information about these fees has been provided to you separately, and the Umbrella User acknowledges that it has received that information.

b. In the course of the Site Operator providing services to the Umbrella User, BlackRock may accept permissible minor non-monetary benefits from third parties which consist of the following:

(i) generic information on a financial instrument or investment service, which is personalised to reflect BlackRock’s circumstances;

(ii) written material that is commissioned and paid for by a corporate issuer or potential issuer to promote a new corporate issuance, provided that the relationship with the issuer is clearly disclosed in the material and is made available at the same time to all interested firms, or to the general public;

(iii) participation at conferences, seminars and other training events on the benefits and features of specific financial instruments and investment services;

(iv) hospitality of a reasonable de minimis value, including food and drink during a business meeting, seminar, conference or training session;

(v) research relating to an issue of securities, which is produced by an underwriter/placing agent acting for the issuer and (i) is produced prior to the issue being completed; and (ii) is made available to prospective investors in the issue; or

(vi) research which is received for limited trial periods so that BlackRock may evaluate a research provider’s research service.

c. In each case the Site Operator considers that the minor non-monetary benefit is:

(i) capable of enhancing the quality of the service provided to the Site Operator's clients;

(ii) of a scale and nature that it could not be judged to impair the Site Operator’s compliance with its duty to act honestly, fairly and professionally in the best interests of BlackRock's clients; and

(iii) reasonable, proportionate and of a scale that is unlikely to influence the service in any way that is detrimental to the interests of clients.

Investment Advice

a. The Umbrella User acknowledges that, in the Site Operator providing services under these Terms, BlackRock will not, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Umbrella User, be acting in a fiduciary capacity or provide any personal recommendation to the Umbrella User (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal or principals) or any Authorised User in respect of any transaction in financial instruments nor provide any investment advice (within the definition set out in MiFID II) or provide the service of portfolio management (within the definition set out in MiFID II) to the Umbrella User (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal or principals) or any Authorised User. Accordingly, the Umbrella User (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal or principals) and each Authorised User should make its own assessment of any transaction that the Umbrella User is considering in the light of the Umbrella User's own objectives and circumstances including the possible risks and benefits of entering into that transaction. The Umbrella User (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal or principals) or any Authorised User should not rely on any information, proposal or other communication from BlackRock as being a recommendation or advice in relation to that transaction.

b. Any marketing communication provided to the Umbrella User (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal or principals) or any Authorised User shall not be taken as an endorsement of or advice regarding the products and services concerned. BlackRock shall not be required to carry out an assessment of the Umbrella User's (or where applicable, the Umbrella User's principal’s or principals’) financial position or investment objectives when providing marketing information.

Provision of Services in Non-Complex Instruments

Please note that BlackRock is not required to (and will not, unless BlackRock has agreed otherwise) assess the appropriateness of the financial instrument or service provided or offered to the Umbrella User where the service only consists of execution or reception and transmission of client orders for non-complex instruments at the Umbrella User's own initiative. In such circumstances the Umbrella User will therefore not benefit from the protection of the conduct of business regulations relating to the assessment of appropriateness pursuant to the applicable regulator's conduct of business rules.

Product Governance

Authorised intermediaries which offer, recommend or sell Shares in the Funds will comply with all laws, regulations and regulatory requirements applicable to them. Such intermediaries should consider such information about the Funds as is made available by the managers and transfer agents of those Funds for the purposes of the product governance regime under EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (MIFID II), including, without limitation, target market information.
