THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AIRCRAFT TIME SHARING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of November 1, 2019 (“Effective Date”), by and between Visa U.S.A. Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Alfred F. Kelly, Jr. (the “Executive”). 
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Company owns and/or operates the aircraft (individually and/or collectively, as the case may be, the “Aircraft”) listed on Schedule A attached hereto for business use by employees and non-employee directors of Company; 
WHEREAS, Company and Executive entered into that certain Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement dated November 9, 2016, as amended by the certain Amendment No. 1 to the Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement dated March 28, 2018 (“Original Time Sharing Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Company and Executive wish to amend and restate, in its entirety, the Original Time Sharing Agreement, so that Company, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall continue to make the Aircraft, with flight crew, available to Executive for personal travel on a non-exclusive time sharing basis in accordance with Section 91.501(c)(1) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”); and 
WHEREAS, Executive agrees to reimburse Company for the personal use of the Aircraft as permitted under the FAR and pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which sets forth the understanding of the parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the provisions of this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
1.  Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue until terminated by either party on written notice to the other party, such termination to become effective ten (10) days from the date of the notice; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated by Company on such shorter notice as may be required for Company to comply with applicable law, regulations, the requirements of any financial institution with a security or other interest in the Aircraft, insurance requirements, or in the event the insurance required hereunder is not in full force and effect. This Agreement also shall terminate automatically on the date Executive ceases to serve as Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provisions directly or indirectly related to Executive's payment obligations for flights completed 


    





prior to the date of termination and the limitation of liability provisions in Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
2.  Provision of Aircraft and Crew. Subject to Aircraft availability and the specific terms set forth in Schedule B attached hereto, Company agrees to provide to Executive the Aircraft and flight crew on a time sharing basis, as defined in FAR Sections 91.501(c)(1) and 91.501(d). Company shall provide, at its sole expense, qualified flight crew for all flight operations under this Agreement. If Company becomes the owner and/or operator of any aircraft not listed on Schedule A, Schedule A shall be modified to include such aircraft as an Aircraft covered by this Agreement, and thereafter this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Aircraft and each of the other Aircraft identified thereon, if any. If Company is no longer the owner and/or operator of any of the Aircraft, Schedule A shall be deemed amended to delete any reference to such Aircraft and this Agreement shall be terminated as to such Aircraft but shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each of the other Aircraft identified thereon, if any. No such termination shall affect any of the rights and obligations of the parties accrued or incurred prior to such termination. 


3.  Expenses and Payments. The terms and conditions of the reimbursements made by Executive to Company for the expenses of the flights conducted under this Agreement and the payments thereof are set forth in Schedule B.
4.  Scheduling Flights.


(a) Flight Requests. Executive shall provide Company with flight requests for Executive's personal travel to be undertaken pursuant to this Agreement and proposed flight schedules as far in advance of Executive's desired departure date as possible. Flight requests shall be made by Executive in a form that is acceptable to Company. Company shall have sole and exclusive authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft. Company shall not be liable to Executive or any other person for loss, injury, or damage occasioned by the delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement for any reason. In addition to requested schedules and departure times, Executive shall provide at least the following information for each proposed flight reasonably in advance of the desired departure time as reasonably required by Company or its flight crew: 


		
	i.
	Departure point; 


		
	ii.
	Destination; 


		
	iii. 
	Date and time of flight; 


		
	iv. 
	Number and identity of anticipated passengers; 


		
	v. 
	Nature and extent of luggage and/or cargo expected to be carried; 


		
	vi. 
	Date and time of return flight, if any; and 


vii.   Any other information concerning the proposed flight that may be pertinent to or required by Company, its flight crew, or governmental entities. 


2







(b) Approval of Flight Requests. Subject to Aircraft and crew availability, Company shall use its good faith efforts, consistent with its approved policies, to accommodate Executive's needs and avoid conflicts in scheduling. Although every good faith effort shall be made to avoid its occurrence, any flights scheduled under this Agreement are subject to cancellation by either party without incurring liability to the other party. In the event of a cancellation, the canceling party shall provide the maximum notice reasonably practicable. 
(c) Repositioning of Aircraft. In the absence of another flight scheduled on the Aircraft by Executive or another scheduled business trip, the Aircraft may remain at the destination until its next required use. In the event the Aircraft must be repositioned, this Agreement shall be implemented such that the costs of deadhead flights (but subject to the specific terms set forth in Schedule B) shall be borne by Executive if such flights are attributable to the personal use of the Aircraft and would be reportable in the Summary Compensation Table for Executive absent reimbursement.  


5.  Flight Operations. 


(a) Operational Control and Authority. Company shall be responsible for the physical and technical operation of the Aircraft and the safe performance of all flights under this Agreement, and shall retain full authority and control, including exclusive operational control and exclusive possession, command and control of the Aircraft for all flights under this Agreement. 
(b) Flight Crew. Company shall furnish at its expense a fully qualified flight crew with appropriate credentials to conduct each flight undertaken under this Agreement and included on the insurance policies that Company is required to maintain hereunder. In accordance with applicable FAR, the qualified flight crew provided by Company will exercise all required and/or appropriate duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. 
(c) Authority of Pilot-in-Command. The pilot-in-command shall have absolute discretion in all matters concerning the preparation of the Aircraft for flight and the flight itself, the load carried and its distribution, the decision whether or not a flight shall be undertaken, the route to be flown, the place where landings shall be made, and all other matters relating to operation of the Aircraft. Executive specifically agrees that the flight crew shall have final and complete authority to delay or cancel any flight for any reason or condition that in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command could compromise the safety of the flight, and to take any other action that in the sole judgment of the pilot-in-command is necessitated by considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot-in-command shall create or support any liability to Executive or any other person for loss, injury, damage or delay. Company's operation of the Aircraft hereunder shall be strictly within the guidelines and policies established by Company and FAR Part 91.
6.  Aircraft Maintenance. Company shall, at its own expense, cause the Aircraft to be inspected, maintained, serviced, repaired, overhauled, and tested in accordance with FAR Part 91 so that the Aircraft will remain in good operating condition and in a condition consistent with its airworthiness certification and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft 


3







hereunder, including but not limited compliance with applicable airworthiness directives and service bulletins. Performance of maintenance, preventive maintenance or inspection shall not be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft unless such maintenance or inspection can safely be conducted at a later time in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and requirements, and such delay or postponement is consistent with the sound discretion of the pilot-in-command. In the event that any non-standard maintenance is required during the term and will interfere with Executive's requested or scheduled flights, Company, or Company's pilot-in-command, shall notify Executive of the maintenance required, the effect on the ability to comply with Executive's requested or scheduled flights and the manner in which the parties will proceed with the performance of such maintenance and conduct of such flight(s). In no event shall Company be liable to Executive or any other person for loss, injury or damage occasioned by the delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft under this Agreement, whether or not maintenance-related. 
7.  Insurance. 


(a) Aviation Liability and Hull Insurance Policy. Company, at its expense, will maintain or cause to be maintained in full force and effect throughout the Term of this Agreement an aviation liability and hull insurance policy including: aviation liability insurance against bodily injury and property damage claims arising out of the use of the Aircraft in an amount not less than $250 Million for each occurrence; and breach of warranty and hull insurance for the Aircraft in amounts determined by Company at its sole discretion. The aviation liability coverage shall include Executive as an insured, and include a severability of interest provision providing that the insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom a claim is made, except as respects the limits of liability. The aviation liability and hull insurance coverage shall include provisions whereby the insurer(s) waive all rights of subrogation they may have or acquire against Executive and shall permit the use of the Aircraft by Company for compensation or hire as provided in FAR Section 91.501. 
(b) Additional Insurance. Company shall use reasonable commercial efforts to provide such additional insurance for specific flights under this Agreement as Executive may reasonably request. Executive acknowledges that any trips scheduled to areas not currently covered by existing policies may require Company to purchase additional insurance to comply with applicable regulations, and Company shall be required to maintain or cause to be maintained such additional insurance. The cost of all flight-specific insurance shall be borne by Executive, subject to the specific terms set forth in Schedule B. 


8. Use of Aircraft. Executive represents and warrants that: 
(a) Executive will use the Aircraft under this Agreement for and only for his own account, including the carriage of his guests, and will not use the Aircraft for the purpose of providing transportation of executives or cargo for compensation or hire or for common carriage; 


4







(b) Executive will not permit any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance to attach against the Aircraft as a result of his actions or inactions, and shall not attempt to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or in any way alienate the Aircraft or Company's rights hereunder or create any kind of lien or security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything or take any action that might mature into such a lien; and
(c) During the Term of this Agreement, Executive will abide by and conform to all such laws, governmental and airport orders, rules, and regulations as shall from time to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation or use of the Aircraft by a lessee under a time sharing arrangement and all applicable policies of Company.
9. Limitation of Liability. NEITHER COMPANY (NOR ITS AFFILIATES) MAKES, HAS MADE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE OR HAVE MADE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT TO ANY AIRCRAFT TO BE USED HEREUNDER OR ANY ENGINE OR COMPONENT THEREOF INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY AS TO DESIGN, COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITY OF MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, USE OR OPERATION, AIRWORTHINESS, SAFETY, PATENT, TRADEMARK OR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR TITLE. IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR OR HAVE ANY DUTY FOR INDEMNIFICATION OR CONTRIBUTION TO EXECUTIVE OR EXECUTIVE’S GUESTS FOR ANY CLAIMED LIABILITIES, LOSSES, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES RESULTING FROM OR ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR OPERATION OF THE AIRCRAFT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT (ALTOGETHER, THE “LOSSES”), REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOSSES ARISE OUT OF OR ARE CAUSED BY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, COMPANY’S NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY OR WHETHER COMPANY KNEW OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES.
