 EXCHANGE AGREEMENT 

BY AND BETWEEN 
 BARCLAYS BANK PLC 
 AND 

BLACKROCK, INC. 
 Dated as of May 21, 2012 







 EXCHANGE AGREEMENT 

THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 21, 2012 between
Barclays Bank PLC, a corporation organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Barclays”), and BlackRock, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BlackRock”). 

WHEREAS, one of the Selling Stockholders (as defined below) proposes to sell through an underwritten public offering (the
“Secondary Offering”) shares of BlackRock’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), including shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of an equal number of shares
of BlackRock’s Series B non-voting convertible participating preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, the rights, preferences and privileges of which are set forth in the certificate of designations filed as Exhibit 3.1 to BlackRock’s
Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2009 (“Series B Preferred Stock”); 
 WHEREAS, BlackRock and Barclays propose to enter into a transaction (the “Repurchase Transaction”) whereby certain subsidiaries of Barclays (each, a “Selling
Stockholder” and, collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) shall sell to BlackRock, and BlackRock shall purchase from such Selling Stockholders, certain shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Common Stock, as
set forth in the Stock Repurchase Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2012 (the “Repurchase Agreement”), by and between BlackRock and Barclays (the “Repurchase Transaction”); and 

WHEREAS, promptly following the closing of the Secondary Offering and the Repurchase Transaction, and prior to any other exchange of
capital stock that may be currently contemplated between BlackRock and another party, BlackRock and Barclays propose to consummate an exchange transaction whereby one or more affiliates of Barclays (each, a “Barclays Party”
and, collectively, the “Barclays Parties”) will exchange shares of Common Stock for a like number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in an amount to be determined as provided herein, if, immediately following the
consummation of the Secondary Offering and the Repurchase Transaction, the Barclays Parties collectively beneficially own more than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock (the “Minimum Condition”) (for greater certainty,
consummation of the Secondary Offering does not require the exercise of any option granted to the underwriters in connection with the Secondary Offering). 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual promises herein set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it
is hereby agreed as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 
 EXCHANGE 
 Section 1.1 Exchange of Common Stock. Subject
to the Minimum Condition, under the terms and subject to the other conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, at the Closing (as defined below), Barclays shall exchange or cause to be
exchanged such number of shares (the “Barclays Common Shares”) of 







 
Common Stock equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Barclays Parties in excess of 1% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation
of the Secondary Offering, which does not require the exercise of any option granted to the underwriters in the Secondary Offering, and the Repurchase Transaction, for an equal number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Exchange
Shares”). 
 Section 1.2 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the exchange
of the Barclays Common Shares for the Exchange Shares shall be held at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, New York, immediately subsequent to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
set forth in Articles V and VI herein (the “Closing Date”), or at such other time, date or place as Barclays and BlackRock may agree in writing. 
 Section 1.3 Deliveries. 
 (a) At the Closing, Barclays shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to BlackRock (the “Barclays Closing Deliveries”) executed and properly medallioned documents effecting the transfer of the Barclays Common Shares from each applicable Barclays Party to BlackRock in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A free and clear of any Lien (as defined below). 
 (b) At the Closing, BlackRock shall
deliver to Barclays evidence of book-entry credits in Barclays’ name (or the name(s) of one or more subsidiaries of Barclays that it shall so designate in writing) representing the Exchange Shares.

Section 2.4 Receipt of Information. Each of Barclays and the Barclays Parties has received all the information it considers
necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to acquire the Exchange Shares in exchange for the Barclays Common Shares. Barclays and the Barclays Parties have had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from BlackRock regarding the
terms and conditions of the offering of the Exchange Shares and the business and financial condition of BlackRock and to obtain additional information (to the extent BlackRock possessed such information or could acquire it without unreasonable
effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had access. None of Barclays or any of the Barclays Parties has received, or is relying on, any representations or warranties from BlackRock, other

 Section 2.5 Restricted Securities. Barclays understands that the Exchange Shares may not
be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption therefrom. In particular, Barclays is aware that the Exchange Shares may
not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act unless all of the applicable conditions of the rule are met. 
 Section 2.6 Legends. It is understood that any certificates evidencing the Exchange Shares will bear the following legend: 

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE,
PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO BLACKROCK, INC. THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.” 

Section 2.7 BlackRock agrees to co-operate with Barclays on the removal of such legend promptly once the Exchange Shares may be sold
freely pursuant to Rule 144, which is currently anticipated to be 90 days after the termination of the Stockholder Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009, between Barclays and certain of its affiliates and BlackRock.

Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be

 6 








 
Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or
unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction and a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose
of such invalid or unenforceable provision. 
 Section 7.5 Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, this Agreement, together with the several agreements and other documents and instruments referred to herein or therein or annexed hereto and executed contemporaneously herewith, embody the complete agreement and understanding among the

under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties. 
 Section 7.7 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 7.8 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 shall 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
