 RECITALS 

 

	A	 In connection with the proposed acquisition by Visa Inc. (or its Affiliate) of the entire issued and outstanding share capital of Visa Europe (the

Stock by Visa Inc. The terms of the UK&I Preferred Stock include provisions effecting a reduction in the rate at which UK&I Preferred Stock is eligible for conversion (in accordance with the terms of the UK&I Preferred Stock) into
Class A Common Stock or Class A Equivalent Preferred Stock of Visa Inc. (each a “UK&I Conversion Rate Reduction”) to reflect all or part of relevant Covered Losses suffered by Visa Group Members.



  

	B	 As such, the total aggregate value of Class A Common Stock or Class A Equivalent Preferred Stock that the UK&I Preferred Stock can be partially
converted into from time to time may decrease if, as a result of UK Covered Losses, one or more UK&I Conversion Rate Reductions take place. 


  

	C	 In connection with the Transaction, the UK Members have also agreed that, pursuant to this Deed, they will each provide specific covenants in respect of UK
Covered Losses where: (i) UK Covered Losses exceed an amount in pounds sterling (calculated in accordance with clause 1.6 as at the date of Closing) equal to €1,000,000,000 (one billion
Euros) in aggregate; or (ii) the Class A Common Equivalent Number has been reduced to zero pursuant to one or more UK&I Conversion Rate Reductions (regardless of whether the Covered Losses giving rise to such adjustment related to UK
Domestic Covered Claims, Intra-Regional Covered Claims or Inter-Regional Covered Claims).

	5.2	 Any failure by Visa Inc. to comply with its obligations under the LM Deed shall not relieve the UK Members of their obligations under this Deed, nor impair
in any way the Purchaser’s or Visa Inc.’s rights under this Deed. 


  

	5.3	 Any payment made by any UK Member under clause 3.1 of this Deed shall be without prejudice to its rights under the LM Deed. 



 

	6	 Claim process 


  

	6.1	 Any claim under clause 3.1 will be made against all UK Members simultaneously in respect of each UK Member’s Indemnity Proportion of such claim.



  

	6.2	 The Purchaser shall give written notice of any claim under clause 3.1 to the UK Members’ Representative within six months of the relevant UK Covered
Loss Allocation Date. Any such notice given under this clause 6.2 (a “Claim Notice”) shall specify in detail, to the extent such information is available to the Purchaser at the relevant time: (i) the legal and factual basis of
the claim; (ii) the total amount of the UK Covered Losses which are the subject of such claim and how this amount was calculated (including a breakdown of the components of such total amount); and (iii) the amount of each UK Member’s
Indemnity Proportion of such UK Covered Losses. 


  

	7	 Payments 


  

	7.1	 Each UK Member shall pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to its Indemnity Proportion of the total UK Covered Losses which are the subject of a claim under
clause 3.1 and specified in a Claim Notice given in accordance with clause 6.2 within 30 Business Days of receipt by the UK Members’ Representative of the Claim Notice. 



  
 11 









	7.2	 All sums payable by a UK Member pursuant to this Deed shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever, save only as required by
law. If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any of the sums payable by a UK Member under this Deed (other than interest under clause 7.5), that UK Member shall be obliged to pay to the Purchaser such sum as will, after
the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Purchaser with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding. 



 

	7.3	 If a UK Member pays an additional sum under clause 7.2 and the payee (or any Affiliate of the payee) subsequently obtains a refund of tax or credit against
tax by reason of the UK Member making the deduction or withholding which gave rise to that additional sum, then the payee shall reimburse that UK Member as soon as reasonably practicable with an amount such as the payee shall determine to be such
proportion of the said refund or credit as shall in the payee’s sole discretion leave the payee (or the relevant Affiliate of the payee, as applicable) after such reimbursement in no better or worse position than it would have been in had no
deduction or withholding been required. 


  

	7.4	 If the Purchaser incurs a liability to tax which results from, or is calculated by reference to, a payment from a UK Member under this Deed (other than
interest under clause 7.5) or would incur such a liability but for the availability of a relief (other than a relief arising in direct consequence of the matter giving rise to the payment to the Purchaser), the amount payable shall be increased by
such amount as will ensure that, after taking into account such liability (and any additional liability to tax arising from any additional payment pursuant to this clause 7.4), the Purchaser is left with a net sum equal to the sum it would have
received had no such liability arisen. 


  

	7.5	 If a UK Member fails to pay any amount payable by it under this Deed in full on or prior to the due date pursuant to clause 7.1, interest shall accrue on the
aggregate amount of such unpaid sum from the due date up to the date of actual payment (both before and after judgment, arbitral decision or settlement) at a rate of 3 per cent per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England from time to
time. Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360 day year. 


  

	7.6	 Without prejudice to clause 4.3, the Purchaser agrees that a payment made in full in accordance with this Deed by a UK Member to the Purchaser of an amount
equal to its Indemnity Proportion of the total UK Covered Losses which are the subject of a claim under clause 3.1 and specified in a Claim Notice (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to clauses 7.2 to 7.4 (inclusive)) will fully discharge that
UK Member’s obligation to make payment to the Purchaser or any other Visa Group Member in respect of the UK Covered Losses the subject of the Claim Notice (and Visa Inc. and the Purchaser shall procure that no other Visa Group Member shall make
a claim for such payment). 


  

	7.7	 Without prejudice to clause 4.3, in return for payment made in full in accordance with this Deed by a UK Member to the Purchaser of an amount equal to its
Indemnity Proportion of the total UK Covered Losses which are the subject of a claim under clause 3.1 and specified in a Claim Notice (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to clauses 7.2 to 7.4 (inclusive)), Visa Inc. and the Purchaser shall
give, and shall procure that any relevant Visa Group Member shall give the UK Member a full and final waiver and release (which shall be in the form set out in schedule 2) in respect of the UK Covered Losses that are the subject of the Claim Notice.



  

	8	 Confidentiality 


  

	8.1	 The terms of this Deed, and the substance of negotiations in connection to it are confidential to the Parties and to their advisers, who shall not disclose
them to, or otherwise communicate them to, any third party without the written consent of the other Parties. 


  

	8.2	 The Parties shall treat as confidential and shall not disclose or use any information relating to a Covered Claim or the existence of a potential Covered

Party pursuant to any other provision of this Deed.

who are themselves bound by professional duties of confidentiality owed to the disclosing Party or its Affiliate; 


  

	 	8.3.4	 that it is reasonably required to enable a Party to carry out its responsibilities, or for a Party (or its Affiliate) to enforce its rights, under this Deed,

	 	8.3.5	 the information is or becomes publicly available (other than as a result of a breach of this Deed or the LM Deed), 



provided that, prior to disclosure or use of any information pursuant to clauses 8.3.1 and/or 8.3.2, the disclosing Party concerned
shall, where not prohibited by law, consult with the other Parties and use reasonable endeavours to assist the other Parties in seeking to preserve the confidentiality of such information consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

terms implied by law which may be excluded by contract, and supersedes any previous written or oral agreement between the Parties in relation to the subject matter of this Deed.

	 	11.2.3	 any other indemnification obligations given by the UK Members (or any of them) under any of the Membership Documents,

	11.3	 Each of the UK Members hereby waives its rights (whether currently existing or arising in the future) to bring any Contribution Claim against any or all of
the other UK Members or any other current, future or former shareholders of Visa Europe, or against any Visa Group Member, in respect of any UK Covered Losses in relation to which a claim is made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Deed.



  

	11.4	 Clause 11.3 shall not operate to exclude or affect any right of a UK Member who is a named defendant to a UK Domestic Covered Claim from bringing
Contribution Claims against any Visa Group Member in respect of any UK Covered Losses arising or resulting from such UK Domestic Covered Claim, provided that no Visa Group Member shall be required to make any payment in respect of such Contribution
Claim unless and until the Purchaser has recovered such amount in full under the terms of this Deed, and, for the avoidance of doubt, clause 11.3 shall not apply to any claim that is not a Covered Claim. 



 

	11.5	 Each of the UK Members hereby irrevocably waives any defences to its obligations under this Deed on the basis of public policy, conflict of laws, illegality,
sovereign immunity or any other basis that would prevent, or seek to prevent the Purchaser from enforcing its rights under this Deed. 


  

	11.6	 Visa Inc. shall not, and will procure that each Visa Group Member shall not:

Losses arising from Domestic Covered Claims; or 


  

	 	11.6.2	 join a UK Member or any of their respective Affiliates as a defendant to any Domestic Covered Claim, 



in respect of any activity of a UK Member or any of their respective Affiliates within the United Kingdom, provided that nothing in this

outside of the United Kingdom. 
  

	11.7	 Without prejudice to the provisions of clauses 11.1 or 11.3, each UK Member acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights against, and shall not make any
claim against any director, officer, employee, agent or adviser of any Visa Group Member in relation to this Deed, provided that nothing in this clause 11.7 shall operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
committed by that person. 



  
 16 









	11.8	 Without prejudice to the provisions of clause 11.1, each of Visa Inc., the Purchaser and Visa Europe acknowledges and agrees that it has no rights against,

misrepresentation committed by that person. 


  

	11.9	 Each Party acknowledges that it has not entered into this Deed in reliance wholly or partly on any representation, undertaking or warranty made by or on
behalf of any other Party (whether orally or in writing) other than as expressly set out in this Deed. 


  

	11.10	 Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights it may have:

non-fraudulent misrepresentation, whether or not contained within this Deed; or 


  

	 	11.10.2	 to rescind this Deed for any non-fraudulent misrepresentation, whether or not contained within this Deed, or to terminate this Deed for any other reason.



  

	11.11	 Nothing in this Deed shall operate to exclude or affect any defences which are available to any of the UK Members or any of their Affiliates in respect of a
claim brought by any Visa Group Member in respect of the Membership Documents (including under the Operating Regulations Indemnity, the Membership Regulations Indemnity or any other indemnification obligations, covenants to pay or other obligations
to discharge or compensate for liabilities or losses, given by the UK Members (or any of them) under any of the Membership Documents) or otherwise (save for claims under this Deed), and Visa Inc. undertakes not to plead, and to procure that no Visa
Group Member shall plead, that this Deed shall have such an effect. 


  

	11.12	 Nothing in this Deed shall operate to exclude or affect any Contribution Claim between any or all of the UK Members or any of their Affiliates in respect of
a claim brought by any Visa Group Member in respect of the Membership Documents (including any claim under the Operating Regulations Indemnity, the Membership Regulations Indemnity or any other indemnification obligations, covenants to pay or other
obligations to discharge or compensate for liabilities or losses, given by the UK Members (or any of them) under any of the Membership Documents) or otherwise (save for claims under this Deed), or to determine, fix or otherwise affect the level of
contributions as between any or all of the UK Members in respect of any such claims (and no UK Member shall plead that it this Deed shall have such an effect). 



 

	11.13	 Visa Inc. shall not, and shall procure that each Visa Group Member shall not, seek to recover from any VE Member in the UK that is not a UK Member (or an
Affiliate of a UK Member), any Covered Losses arising or resulting from UK Domestic Covered Claims in respect of which UK Members are liable to make payments to the Purchaser under clause 3.1. 



 

	12	 Miscellaneous 


  

	12.1	 No admission

unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, 



  
 17 








 assign, transfer, charge or deal in any other manner with any of its rights or its
obligations under this Deed (or purport to do any of the same) (a “Transfer”). For the purposes of this clause 12.2.1 Visa Inc. will be deemed to be acting unreasonably if it conditions, withholds or delays consent to any Transfer
that: (i) is required by law or the rules, regulations, confirmations or directions of a regulatory authority to which the UK Member seeking to effect the Transfer is subject (and shall provide Visa Inc. with evidence, to Visa Inc.’s
reasonable satisfaction, that such Transfer is required); and (ii) is to a person who has, to the reasonable satisfaction of Visa Inc., equivalent financial standing to the UK Member seeking to effect the Transfer and who is a Principal Member,
or an Affiliate of a Principal Member. 
  

	 	12.2.2	 Visa Inc. may assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract, or deal in any other manner with any of its rights or obligations under this Deed, or purport to do any
of the same, in favour of any of its Affiliates, provided that the obligations and/or liabilities of the UK Members shall be no greater than if such assignment, transfer, charge, sub-contract or dealing by Visa Inc. had not taken place.



  

	 	12.2.3	 Each of the UK Members may assign, transfer, charge, sub-contract, or deal in any other manner with any of its rights (but not its obligations) under this
Deed, or purport to do any of the same, in favour of any of its Affiliates, provided that the obligations and/or liabilities of Visa Inc. or Visa Europe shall be no greater than if such assignment, transfer, charge, sub-contract or dealing had not
taken place. 


  

	 	12.2.4	 Any UK Member which is permitted, in accordance with clause 12.2.1, to assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with its rights or obligations under this
Deed, shall procure that the assignee shall enter into a deed of adherence to this Deed (which shall be in a form acceptable to Visa Inc., acting reasonably) pursuant to which the assignee shall undertake to Visa Inc. to observe, perform and be
bound by all the terms contained in this Deed, and with effect from the due delivery to Visa Inc. of such deed of adherence, the assignor shall be released from its obligations under this Deed. 



 

	12.3	 Severability 



If any provision of this Deed (including any clause, definition, schedule or, in each case, any part thereof) is found to be void or
unenforceable for any reason (including on grounds of public policy, conflict of laws, illegality, sovereign immunity or any other basis), that provision shall be deemed to be deleted from this Deed and the remaining provisions of this Deed shall
continue in full force and effect and the Parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure that any such provision is replaced by a provision which is valid and enforceable, and which gives effect to the spirit and intent of this
Deed. 
  

	12.4	 Third parties 



Save for the rights of Visa Group Members and the Affiliates of UK Members to enforce the provisions of this Deed, no person who is not
a party to this Deed has any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Deed but this does not affect any rights or remedy of a third party which exists or is available other than under the Contracts
(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. 

  
 18 









	12.5	 Further assurance 



The Parties shall deliver or cause to be delivered such instruments and other documents at such times and places as are reasonably
necessary or desirable, and shall take any other action reasonably requested by any other Party, for the purpose of putting this Deed into effect. 
  

	12.6	 Counterparts 



This Deed may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original and all the
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. For the purposes of execution by the Parties, signatures which are faxed, or scanned and emailed, by the Parties’ legal advisers, shall be binding. Any Party who provides a
faxed or scanned and emailed, signed counterpart to the other Parties on execution agrees to provide original, signed counterparts to the other Parties promptly thereafter (provided that this clause 12.6 shall require each Party to execute no more
than four original counterparts of this Deed, unless the Parties agree otherwise). 
  

	12.7	 Variations 


 Any
variation of this Deed must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of each Party. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the UK Members’ Representative nor the VE Member Representative is authorised to vary this Deed on behalf of any of the UK
Members. 
  

	12.8	 Successors in title 



This Deed shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the successors in title and assigns of each Party. 

 

	12.9	 Non waiver 


  

	 	12.9.1	 Without prejudice to clause 4, the failure or delay of any Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Deed shall not affect
such Party’s right to enforce such a provision at a later time. 


  

	 	12.9.2	 No waiver by any Party of any condition or of the breach of any term, covenant, indemnity, representation, warranty or undertaking contained in this Deed,
whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term, covenant,
indemnity, representation, warranty or undertaking in this Deed. 


  

	12.10	 No set-off 


 All
amounts due under this Deed shall be paid in full without any (including in respect of any claim under the LM Deed) set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than as required by law). 

 

	12.11	 Amendments to Transaction documents 



Notwithstanding clause 2.1, neither Visa Inc. nor the Purchaser shall agree to: 

 

	 	12.11.1	 prior to Closing, any amendment to the Transaction Agreement or the Option Amendment which results in any reduction of more than 10% to the UK Members’
Up-front Cash Consideration without the prior written consent of each of the UK Members (and for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the UK Members’ Up-front Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement
entered into at the date of this Deed, including any reduction for Leakage (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) shall not constitute a reduction in the Up-front Cash Consideration for the purposes of this clause 12.11.1); or



  

	 	12.11.2	 any amendment to the Transaction Agreement or the Option Amendment to the extent that it would materially prejudice the UK Members in a manner
disproportionate to other VE Members as a whole, without the prior written consent of: (i) prior to Closing, each of the UK Members; and (ii) after Closing, the VE Member Representative. 



  
 19 









	12.12	 Amendments to agreed form documents 



Notwithstanding clause 2.1: 
  

	 	12.12.1	 neither Visa Inc. nor Visa Europe shall agree any pre-Closing amendment to the agreed form of LM Deed set out in Appendix A which would materially prejudice
the UK Members in a manner disproportionate to other VE Members as a whole, without the prior written consent of each of the UK Members; 


  

	 	12.12.2	 Visa Inc. shall not agree to any pre-Closing amendment to the agreed form of UK&I Certificate of Designations set out in Appendix B which would
materially prejudice the UK Members in a manner disproportionate to other VE Members as a whole, without the prior written consent of each of the UK Members; 



 

	 	12.12.3	 Visa Inc. shall not agree to any pre-Closing amendment to the agreed form of Class A Equivalent Preferred Stock CoD set out in Appendix D which would
materially prejudice the UK Members in a manner disproportionate to other VE Members as a whole, without the prior written consent of each of the UK Members; and 



 

	 	12.12.4	 neither Visa Inc. nor Visa Europe shall agree any pre-Closing amendment to the agreed form of VE Member Representative Term Sheet which would materially
prejudice the UK Members, either as a group in relation to UK Domestic Covered Claims or UK Covered Losses, or otherwise in a manner disproportionate to other VE Members as a whole, in each case without the prior written consent of each of the UK
Members. 


  

	12.13	 Establishment of the VE Member Representative 



Notwithstanding the conditionality of other provisions of this Deed under clause 2.1: 

 

	 	12.13.1	 VE shall procure that, prior to Closing, the VE Member Representative is established, with respect to the LMC and the UK&I DCC, in all material respects
