(and will do so in relation to the Existing English High Court Claims, to the extent possible, within 60 Business Days of Closing). Visa Inc.’s proposal shall be final and binding unless, within 30 Business Days of receipt of such proposal, the
LMC and/or the UK&I DCC and/or the Europe DCC deliver written notice of objection to Visa Inc. whereupon Visa Inc. and the LMC and/or the UK&I DCC and/or the Europe DCC (as appropriate) will follow the procedure in Clause 21.2. 
	 

  

	 	11.2	 Decisions of the VE Member Representative shall be taken by the LMC except where expressly provided to the contrary in this Deed. Before attribution of a
Covered Claim under Clause 11.1 above, the LMC shall be authorised to make decisions of the VE Member Representative. 
	 

  

	 	11.3	 Where, following attribution of a Covered Claim in accordance with the process in Clause 11.1, at least 75% of the value of a Covered Claim is
attributable to UK&I Domestic Covered Claims (such Covered Claim being a “UK&I DCC Claim”), decisions of the VE Member Representative under this Deed in relation thereto shall be taken by the UK&I DCC (acting in
accordance with Clause 8). 
	 

  

	 	11.4	 Where, following attribution of a Covered Claim in accordance with the process in Clause 11.1, at least 75% of the value of a Covered Claim is
attributable to Europe Domestic Covered Claims (such Covered Claim being a “Europe DCC Claim”), decisions of the VE Member Representative under this Deed in relation thereto shall be taken and made by the Europe DCC (acting in

	 	12.	 Management of Covered Claims

attribution of Covered Claims (see Clause 11.1) and any provisional views concerning the allocation of Covered Losses (see Clause 13.1 below). Visa Inc. will also provide information in relation to its quarterly and annual budgets for legal and
other expenses in relation to Covered Claims, together with monthly updates on legal and other expenses actually incurred in respect of Covered Claims, and will consider any concerns raised in this regard by the LMC (or by the UK&I DCC in
relation to UK&I DCC Claims, or the Europe DCC in relation to Europe DCC Claims). 
  

	 	12.4	 Visa Inc. will discuss and consult with the VE Member Representative, acting by the LMC (and by the UK&I DCC in relation to UK&I DCC Claims, and
the Europe DCC in relation to Europe DCC Claims), on key strategic decisions in relation to Covered Claims and will consider suggestions and recommendations made by the LMC (and by the UK&I DCC or by the Europe DCC, as appropriate) in that
regard. 
	 

  

	 	12.5	 The VE Member Representative, acting by the LMC, may appoint legal advisors, at the sole expense of the VE Member Representative (and Visa Inc. shall have
no responsibility under any circumstances for any such expenses). Visa Inc. shall facilitate regular consultation between its legal advisors and those appointed by the VE Member Representative. 
	 

  

	 	12.6	 Material Decisions 
	 

 No Material Decision shall be made without the approval of the VE Member
Representative, acting by the LMC (or, where Clause 11.3 applies, the UK&I DCC, or where Clause 11.4 applies, the Europe DCC) in accordance with this Clause 12.6: 
  

	 	12.6.1	 When requesting the approval of a Material Decision by the VE Member Representative, acting by the LMC (or the UK&I DCC or Europe DCC, as appropriate),

for approving the Material Decision. 
	 

  

	 	12.6.2	 The VE Member Representative, acting by the LMC (or the UK&I DCC or Europe DCC, as appropriate) shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to
a Material Decision nor subject any such consent to unreasonable conditions. 
	 

  

	 	12.6.3	 If the LMC (or the UK&I DCC or Europe DCC, as appropriate) is unable to approve or reject a Material Decision in the time specified by Visa Inc., it
may request Visa Inc.’s consent to an extension of that period (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). 
	 

  

	 	12.6.4	 If the LMC (or the UK&I DCC or Europe DCC, as appropriate) does not approve or reject the Material Decision in the time specified by Visa Inc. pursuant
to Clause 12.6.1 (as extended, if applicable, pursuant to Clause 12.6.3) the Material Decision will be deemed to have been approved. 
	 

  

	 	12.7	 The sole remedy of each of (i) the VE Member Representative (whether acting by the LMC, the UK&I DCC or the Europe DCC) and (ii) Visa Inc.,
in respect of any alleged breach of Clause 12.6 shall be as set out in Clause 21.3 below. 
	 

  

	 	13.	 Allocation of Covered Losses 
	 

  

	 	13.1	 Visa Inc. shall, within 60 Business Days of a Covered Loss having been paid or becoming due and payable by Visa Inc. and/or Visa Inc. Affiliates and/or
Visa UK or, if later, within 60 Business Days of the Closing, make a proposal to the LMC, the UK&I DCC and the Europe DCC for the allocation of each Covered Loss between Domestic Covered Claims (including between UK&I Domestic Covered
Claims, UK Domestic Covered Claims and Europe Domestic Covered Claims) and/or Intra-Regional Covered Claims and/or Inter-Regional Covered Claims, and shall specify the time for responding to that proposal (which shall be not less than 30 Business
Days). 
	 

  

	 	13.2	 Visa Inc. shall, where permissible in Visa Inc.’s reasonable view, give the LMC, the UK&I DCC and the Europe DCC the information they reasonably
request to assess Visa Inc.’s proposed allocation. 
	 

  

	 	13.3	 Visa Inc.’s proposal shall be final and binding unless the LMC and/or the UK&I DCC and/or the Europe DCC notifies Visa Inc. in writing that they
disagree with such proposal within the period specified by Visa Inc. for a response in accordance with Clause 13.1. If such a notice is served within that time-frame, Visa Inc. and whichever of the LMC and/or the UK&I DCC and/or the Europe DCC
has served notice will jointly follow the procedure in Clause 21.2.

	 	14.	 Release Assessments for Conversion of Preferred Stock 
	 

  

	 	14.1	 At the 4th, 6th 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th anniversaries of
the Closing and annually thereafter, on the date that is three (3) months after the final resolution of all of the Existing English High Court Claims (whether by a settlement or final and non-appealable judgment), and by the date that is two
(2) months after the VE Member Representative (acting by the UK&I DCC or the Europe DCC, as applicable) exercises the right pursuant to Clause 14.4 below (each of the foregoing dates, an “Assessment Date”), Visa Inc. will
carry out an assessment (a “Release Assessment”) of the extent to which, if at all, it is appropriate to effect a partial conversion of UK&I Preferred Stock or Europe Preferred Stock (as applicable) into Class A Common
Stock or Class A Equivalent Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8 of the Certificates of Designations setting out the terms of the UK&I Preferred Stock or Europe Preferred Stock (an “Accelerated Conversion”).
Each Release Assessment shall set forth (i) the Liability Coverage Reduction Amount, if any, (ii) the related Conversion Adjustment, and (iii) the resultant Class A Common Equivalent Number (which shall equal (A) the
Class A Common Equivalent Number prior to the Conversion Adjustment minus (B) the Conversion Adjustment) (in each case, as such terms are defined in the Certificates of Designations of the UK&I Preferred Stock and the Europe Preferred
Stock). 
	 

  

	 	14.2	 In making each Release Assessment, Visa Inc. will consult with the LMC and consider the following factors to make a conservative assessment of the ongoing
risk of liability pursuant to Covered Claims (the “Contingent Liability Risk”) and to determine the amount and timing of any Accelerated Conversion (collectively, the “Release Factors”): 
	 

  

	 	14.2.1	 the views expressed by the LMC; 
	 

  

	 	14.2.2	 the goal of maintaining UK&I Preferred Stock or Europe Preferred Stock to provide coverage for Visa Inc. against all Covered Claims, whilst recognising
that the Contingent Liability Risk is expected to decrease over time; 
	 

  

	 	14.2.3	 the extent of any prior payments made in respect of Covered Claims, whether by way of settlement, satisfaction of any judgments, or otherwise; 
	 

  

	 	14.2.4	 any settlements or final and non-appealable judgments in those or any other Covered Claims; 
	 

  

	 	14.2.5	 any significant developments in the Existing English High Court Claims or any other then pending claims; 
	 

  

	 	14.2.6	 any significant developments in the European Commission’s ongoing investigation into Inter-Regional MIFs or any other applicable regulatory
developments; 
	 


  
  

– 25 – 









  
  


	 	14.2.7	 any relevant legislative changes, including domestic legislation implementing the EU Directive on antitrust damages actions (Directive 2014/104/EU); and

	 

  

	 	14.2.8	 the expiry of any limitation periods which are applicable to the Covered Claims. 
	 

  

	 	14.3	 In the case of any Release Assessment made with respect to the 12th anniversary of the Closing or any
Assessment Date thereafter, each share of UK&I Preferred Stock and Europe Preferred Stock shall be partially converted into that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Class A Common Equivalent Number unless there are
any UK&I Covered Claims or Europe Covered Claims, respectively, which remain unresolved and outstanding as of such date, in which case a reasonable and conservative portion (a “Holdback Amount”) of the then applicable
Class A Common Equivalent Number of each share of UK&I Preferred Stock and Europe Preferred Stock, as applicable, shall not be so converted. The Holdback Amount shall be determined by means of a Release Assessment in accordance with the
procedures set out in this Clause 14. 
	 

  

	 	14.4	 Each of (i) the UK&I DCC and (ii) the Europe DCC will have the right to request that Visa Inc. undertake one additional assessment (i.e.,
between them a total of two additional assessments) between the 4th and the 8th year anniversaries of the Closing, if it reasonably believes
that there have been significant developments such that, taking into account all of the Release Factors, it is appropriate to effect an Accelerated Conversion of UK&I Preferred Stock or Europe Preferred Stock, as applicable, prior to the next
scheduled assessment pursuant to Clause 14.1. 
	 

  

	 	14.5	 Within 10 Business Days following each Assessment Date, Visa Inc. shall notify the LMC of its initial Release Assessment determination (an “Initial
Determination”) of (i) the Liability Coverage Reduction Amount, if any, (ii) the resultant Conversion Adjustment, and (iii) the resultant Class A Common Equivalent Number. 
	 

  

	 	14.6	 Each Initial Determination shall be final and binding unless, within 20 Business Days of its receipt of such Initial Determination, the LMC delivers a
written objection notice to Visa Inc. If such an objection notice is timely received by Visa Inc., the chief executive officer of Visa Inc. shall, within 30 Business Days of such receipt by Visa Inc., make a reasonable good faith determination of
the disputed amounts (a “CEO Assessment”). Each CEO Assessment made in respect of any Release Assessment for an Assessment Date that is prior to the 6th anniversary of the Closing
shall be final and binding. 
	 

  

	 	14.7	 Each CEO Assessment made in respect of any Release Assessment for an Assessment Date that is on or after the
6th anniversary of the Closing shall be final and binding unless, within 20 Business Days of its receipt of such CEO Assessment, the LMC delivers a written objection notice to Visa Inc. If such a
notice of objection is timely received by Visa Inc., Visa Inc. and the LMC will jointly seek, and agree to be bound by, advice from a Queen’s Counsel on the appropriate Liability Coverage Reduction Amount, if any, on the basis set out in Clause
21.2. 
	 


  
  

– 26 – 









  
  


	 	14.8	 In no event shall any Conversion Adjustment determined pursuant to this Clause 14 be greater than the then applicable Class A Common Equivalent Number
as of the date of such Conversion Adjustment. 
	 

  

	 	14.9	 Within 30 days following the end of each Visa Inc. fiscal quarter, Visa Inc. shall provide to the LMC, the UK&I DCC and the Europe DCC, a statement
reflecting the approximate value (in US dollars) as of the last day of Visa Inc.’s most recent fiscal quarter, of the outstanding shares of UK&I Preferred Stock and Europe Preferred Stock, respectively (which shall be equal to: (A) the
aggregate number of outstanding shares of UK&I Preferred Stock and/or Europe Preferred Stock, as applicable, multiplied by (B) the applicable Class A Common Equivalent Number, multiplied by (C) the volume-weighted average price
per share of Visa Inc.’s Class A Common Stock on the last day of Visa Inc.’s most recent fiscal quarter, as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page V <equity> VWAP (or any equivalent successor
page) in respect of the period from 9:30am EST to 4:00pm EST). On each such date, Visa Inc. will also provide to the LMC, the UK&I DCC and the Europe DCC, a statement reflecting the total approximate value (in US dollars) of all Liability
Coverage Reduction Amounts with respect to the UK&I Preferred Stock and the Europe Preferred Stock, respectively, with respect to the preceding fiscal quarter.

	 	15.4.2	 the disclosure is required by compulsion of law or regulation (including, where required by legally-mandated governance policies of any applicable

applicable, privilege, of such information consistent with applicable laws and regulations. 
  

	 	15.5	 No past or future exchange or disclosure of information or documents under this Deed, including to any legal advisors, will constitute a waiver of any
privilege or other protection that any Party may be entitled to claim. 
	 

  

	 	15.6	 All documents or information exchanged or disclosed under this Deed shall be used by the LMC and/or the UK&I DCC and/or the Europe DCC for the purposes
