  B. WHEREAS, Joinder Agreements were entered into November 5, 2012, January 14, 2013, January 28, 2013, February 11, 2013, February 25, 2013, March 4, 2013, May 1, 2014 and January 1, 2015 each for the purpose of adding certain Funds to the Administration Agreement.

TERMS:

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree that:

 

  1. By executing this Agreement, each Fund and BNY Mellon agree to add the New Fund as a party to the Administration Agreement, and BlackRock Funds II, on behalf of the New Fund, and BNY Mellon agree to be bound by, and to comply with the terms of the Administration Agreement in the same manner as if BlackRock Funds II, on behalf of the New Fund, were an original signatory to the Administration Agreement.

  (b) This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The facsimile signature of any party to this Agreement shall constitute the valid and binding execution hereof by such party.
