 Attention: Stephanie

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 You have advised each of
Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and/or an affiliate thereof (“Morgan Stanley”), Credit Suisse AG (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, “CS”), and Credit Suisse Securities
(USA) LLC (“CS Securities” and, together with CS and their respective affiliates, “Credit Suisse”) and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a member of MUFG, a global financial group (“MUFG”;
and, together with Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse, the “Commitment Parties”, “us” or “we”) that you intend to acquire, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding equity interests of the entity
previously identified to us as “Knight” (the “Target”) and to consummate the other transactions described on Exhibit A hereto. 

Reference is made to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of October 14, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, including that certain Incremental Amendment No. 2 dated as of August 7, 2017, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), by and among vantiv, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the “Borrower” or “you”), the various institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and (ii) the
Incremental Amendment No. 3 to the Existing Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “2017 Incremental Amendment No. 3”), by and among the Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Morgan Stanley, CS and
MUFG. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Commitment Letter (as defined below) are used with the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement or the 2017 Incremental Amendment No. 3, as applicable. 

 

	1.	Commitments. 

 In connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby and subject to the immediately
succeeding paragraph, if the Required Amendment (as defined on Exhibit A) with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement has not become effective prior to the Acquisition Closing Date, each of Morgan Stanley, CS and MUFG (each an “Initial
Lender” and collectively, the “Initial Lenders”) hereby commits, on a several, but 

 not joint, basis to provide the percentage of the entire principal amount of the Backstop Credit Facilities (as
defined on Exhibit A) set forth opposite such Initial Lender’s name on Schedule 1 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of this Commitment Letter) (i) upon the
terms set forth or referred to in this letter, the Transaction Summary attached as Exhibit A hereto and the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached as Exhibit B hereto, as applicable and (ii) the initial funding of which is
subject only to the conditions set forth on Exhibit C hereto (such Exhibits A through C, including the annexes thereto, the “Term Sheets” and, together with this letter, collectively, this “Commitment
Letter”); it being understood and agreed that there are no other conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, including compliance with any other terms of this Commitment Letter or the Credit Documentation. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the Initial Lenders be required to fund the Backstop Incremental Term
A-4 Commitments (as defined on Exhibit A) while the 2017 Incremental Term A-4 Loan Commitments obtained under the 2017 Incremental Amendment No. 3 are effective,
(ii) the Initial Lenders be required to fund the Backstop Incremental Term B-1 Commitments (as defined on Exhibit A) while the 2017 Incremental Term B-1 Loan
Commitments obtained under the 2017 Incremental Amendment No. 3 are effective, (iii) the Initial Lenders be required to fund the Backstop Incremental Term B-2 Commitments (as defined on Exhibit A)
while the 2017 Incremental Term B-2 Loan Commitments obtained under the 2017 Incremental Amendment No. 3 are effective or (iv) the Initial Lenders be required to provide the Backstop Incremental
Revolving Commitments (as defined on Exhibit A) unless the obligation to provide the 2017 Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments has expired or been terminated. 
  

	2.	Titles and Roles. 

 You that you hereby appoint Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and MUFG to act as joint
lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for each of the Backstop Credit Facilities (in such capacity, the “Lead Arrangers”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this Commitment Letter. It is agreed
that Morgan Stanley will act as sole administrative agent and as sole collateral agent for the Backstop Credit Facilities. Each of Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and MUFG, in such capacities, will perform the duties and exercise the authority
customarily performed and exercised by it in such roles. It is agreed that Morgan Stanley will have “left” placement, Credit Suisse will have “immediate right” placement and MUFG will have placement to the immediate right of
Credit Suisse on any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Backstop Credit Facilities and Morgan Stanley will have the role and responsibilities conventionally associated with such “left” placement.

 You agree that no other agents, co-agents, lead arrangers, bookrunners, managers or arrangers will be appointed,
no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated in this Commitment Letter and in the Backstop Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered in connection herewith (the “Fee Letter”)) will
be paid in connection with the Backstop Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so reasonably agree; provided that we may appoint any entity listed on Schedule 2 hereto as an additional agent,
co-agent, lead arranger, bookrunner, manager or arranger and may award any other title to any such entity (each, an “Additional Agent”) in a manner and with economics determined by the
Commitment Parties in consultation with you, and the Borrower hereby consents to each such appointment or award; provided, further, that (A) each such Additional Agent (or its affiliate) shall assume a proportion of the
commitments with respect to the Backstop Credit Facilities that is equal to the proportion of the economics allocated to such Additional Agent (or its affiliates) and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended
accordingly and (B) to the extent we appoint (or confer titles on) any Additional Agent in respect of any Backstop Credit Facility, the economics allocated to, and the commitment amounts of, the Lead Arrangers and their affiliated Commitment
Parties in respect of such Backstop Credit Facility will be proportionately reduced by the amount of the economics allocated to, and the commitment amount of, such Additional Agent (or its affiliate), in each case upon the execution and delivery by
such Additional 

  
 2 

 
Agent of customary joinder documentation reasonably acceptable to you and us and, thereafter, such Additional Agent shall constitute a “Commitment Party,” an “Initial Lender”
and an “Arranger” (notwithstanding any different title awarded), as applicable, under this Commitment Letter and under the Fee Letter). Upon the effectiveness of the Required Amendment, the commitments of the Initial Lenders with respect
to the Backstop Credit Facilities shall terminate and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended accordingly. 
  

	3.	Syndication.  

 We intend to syndicate the Backstop
Credit Facilities to a group of lenders identified by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with you and reasonably acceptable to you, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (such lenders, together with the Initial
Lenders, the “Lenders”); it being understood that we will not syndicate to those persons that are (i) competitors of Holdco, the Borrower and its subsidiaries or the Target identified by you in writing to the Lead Arrangers
prior to the date of their execution of this Commitment Letter and (ii) otherwise identified by you in writing to the Lead Arrangers prior to the date of their execution of this Commitment Letter (the persons described in
clauses (i) and (ii) and any person that is a readily identifiable affiliate thereof (including funds managed or advised by such person, but excluding, in the case of clause (i), any
affiliate of such person that is primarily engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course (other than in distressed situations) and with respect to
which such person does not, directly or indirectly, possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the investment policies of such entity), collectively, the “Disqualified Institutions”); provided, that the Borrower,
upon reasonable notice to the Lead Arrangers (or, after the Closing Date, to the Agent) after the date hereof, shall be permitted to supplement in writing the list of persons that are Disqualified Institutions to the extent such supplemented person
becomes a competitor or is or becomes an affiliate of a competitor of you or your subsidiaries, which supplement shall be in the form of a list provided to the Lead Arranger or Agent, as applicable, but which supplementation shall not apply
retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment or participation interest in the Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter to the contrary and notwithstanding any syndication, assignment
or other transfer by any Initial Lender, (a) no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund its applicable percentage of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing
Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or other transfer until after the initial funding of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, (b) no such syndication, assignment or other transfer shall become effective (as
between us and you) with respect to any portion of the Initial Lenders’ commitments in respect of the Backstop Credit Facilities until the initial funding of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing Date and (c) unless the Borrower
agrees in writing, each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Backstop Credit Facilities, including all rights with respect to consents, waivers,
modifications, supplements and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred. 
 The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly and
from the date of your acceptance of this Commitment Letter until the earlier to occur of (x) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (y) the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date (such period, the
“Syndication Period”), you agree to assist the Lead Arrangers in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you. Such assistance shall include (a) using your commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit from your existing banking relationships, (b) facilitating direct contact between appropriate members of senior management of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the
other hand (and using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such contact between non-legal advisors of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all 

  
 3 

 
cases at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon, (c) your providing projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years 2018 through 2022 (on an annual basis) and
for the four fiscal quarters beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2018, (d) your assistance in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum (the “CIM”) and other customary marketing materials to be used
in connection with the syndication of the Backstop Credit Facilities, (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers and appropriate members of senior management of the Borrower, of meetings (or, if you and we shall agree, conference calls in lieu of
any such meeting) of prospective Lenders (limited to one “bank meeting”, unless otherwise deemed reasonably necessary by the Lead Arrangers) at times and locations to be mutually agreed, (f) during the Syndication Period (and, if
later, until the Closing Date), your ensuring that there is no competing issuance of debt for borrowed money by or on behalf of Holdco, the Borrower or its subsidiaries announced, offered, placed or arranged (other than the 2017 Rook Incremental
Term B Commitments (and any loans made thereunder), the 2017 Incremental Commitments (and any loans made thereunder) and the transactions contemplated by that certain Commitment Letter dated as of the date hereof by and among the parties hereto
relating to the unsecured bridge facility and/or the senior unsecured notes contemplated thereby, and the Backstop Credit Facilities), in each case that could reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Backstop Credit
Facilities, without the consent of the Lead Arrangers (it being understood and agreed that Permitted Surviving Debt will not materially impair the primary syndication of the Backstop Credit Facilities) and (g) your using commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain, prior to the commencement of syndication, public corporate credit or corporate family ratings, as applicable, for the Borrower and public ratings for the Backstop Term A Facility and the Backstop Term B Facility from each of
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter, neither the commencement
nor the completion of the syndication of the Backstop Credit Facilities nor the obtaining of the ratings referred to above shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the
Closing Date. You will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation, or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you or your affiliates;
provided that, in the event that you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you shall provide notice to the Lead Arrangers that such information is being withheld and you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to
communicate the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable obligation or risk waiver of such privilege; provided, further, that none of the foregoing shall be construed to limit any of the Borrower’s
representations and warranties or any of the conditions, in any such case, set forth in this Commitment Letter or the Credit Documentation. 
 The Lead
Arrangers, in their capacity as such, will manage, in consultation with you (and subject to (a) your consent rights set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 3, and (b) any direction, order, guidance or advice received from the
UK Takeover Panel) all aspects of the syndication, including decisions as to the selection of prospective Lenders to be approached (which may not be Disqualified Institutions) and when they will be approached, when the Lenders’ commitments will
be accepted, which Lenders will participate, the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders. 

You acknowledge that the Lead Arrangers will make available customary marketing materials and presentations for a public-to-private transaction of this nature, including the CIM and the Projections (as defined below), and a customary lenders’ package and presentation for a public-to-private transaction of this nature (collectively, the “Information Materials”) to existing Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and the proposed syndicate of
Lenders by posting the Information Materials on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar electronic system and (b) certain of the existing Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and prospective Lenders (each, a “Public
Lender” and, collectively, the “Public Lenders”) have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information within the meaning of the United States federal securities
laws with respect to Vantiv, Inc., Holdco, you, the Target, your or their 

  
 4 

 
respective subsidiaries, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing (“MNPI”). At the request of the Lead Arrangers, you agree to assist us in preparing an additional
version of the Information Materials consisting exclusively of information and documentation with respect to Vantiv, Inc., Holdco, the Borrower, the Target, your subsidiaries and the respective securities of any of the foregoing that is made
publicly available by Holdings, the Borrower, the Target or any parent company as a public reporting company or does not otherwise constitute MNPI (the “Public Package”). It is understood that a customary authorization letter from
the Borrower will be included in the Information Materials that authorizes the distribution thereof to existing Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and prospective Lenders, contains a
“10b-5” representation with respect to the information set forth therein consistent with the representation set forth in Section 4 below and confirms that the Public Package
does not include MNPI or any information that is not made publicly available by Holdco, the Borrower, the Target or any parent company as a public reporting company, and the Public Package will contain customary language exculpating Holdco, you and
your affiliates, and us and our affiliates with respect to any liability related to the misuse of (or, in the case of us and our affiliates, the use of) the contents of the Information Materials. You acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the
Public Package, the following documents may be distributed to all existing Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and prospective Lenders, including prospective Public Lenders (except to the extent you notify us to the contrary in
advance of the intended distribution thereof and provided that you have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with applicable legal requirements): (i) the Term Sheets, (ii) drafts and final
definitive documentation with respect to the Backstop Credit Facilities, (iii) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as Lender meeting invitations, allocations and funding and closing memoranda)
and (iv) notifications of changes in the terms of the Backstop Credit Facilities. You also agree, at our request, to identify Information Materials that are suitable for distribution to Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously marking the
same as “PUBLIC”. All information that is not specifically identified as “PUBLIC” (including the Projections) shall be treated as being suitable only for posting to private Lenders. By identifying any Information Materials as
suitable for distribution to Public Lenders (including by marking any documents, information or other data “PUBLIC”) you shall be deemed to have authorized the Commitment Parties and the potential Lenders to treat such Information
Materials as not containing MNPI. 
  

	4.	Information. 

 You hereby represent that (but with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, only to
your knowledge), (a) all written information concerning Holdco, you and your subsidiaries and the Target and its subsidiaries, other than the Projections, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or
industry-specific nature, that has been or will be made available to any of us by Holdco, you or any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a
whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished and when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time) and (b) all financial projections
concerning Holdco, you and your subsidiaries that have been or are hereafter made available to any of us by Holdco, you or any of your representatives on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the
“Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being recognized by us that such Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject
to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular financial projections will be realized, that actual results may differ from projected results and that such
differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the expiration of the Syndication Period and the Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any
material respect if the 

  
 5 

 
Information or the Projections were being furnished and such representations were being made at such time, you will (and, with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries, use commercially
reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that the representations in the preceding sentence remain true in all material respects; provided, that any such supplementation shall cure any breach of such
representations. You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Backstop Credit Facilities, we may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof, and we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy
and completeness of the Information or the Projections. 
  

	5.	Fees. 

 As consideration for the commitments and agreements of the Commitment Parties hereunder, you
agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees described in the Fee Letter on the terms and subject to the conditions (including as to timing and amount) set forth therein. 
  

	6.	Conditions. 

 Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Credit
Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the transactions contemplated hereby to the contrary, (a) the only representations, the making and accuracy of which shall be a condition to the
availability and initial funding of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, shall be the Specified Representations (as defined below), (b) the terms of the Credit Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the
availability of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth on Exhibit C hereto are satisfied; it being understood that to the extent any lien search or Collateral (including the creation
or perfection of any security interest) is not or cannot be provided on the Closing Date (other than, to the extent required under the Term Sheets, (i) Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”) lien searches in the Loan Parties’
respective jurisdictions of organization, (ii) a lien on Collateral that may be perfected solely by the filing of a financing statement under the UCC and (iii) a pledge of the certificated equity interests of the Borrower and the
Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), in each case, with respect to which a lien may be perfected upon closing by the delivery of a stock or equivalent certificate) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to
do so without undue burden or expense, then the provision of any such lien search and/or the provision and/or perfection of such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability and initial funding of the Backstop Credit
Facilities on the Closing Date but may instead be delivered and/or perfected within 90 days after the Closing Date, or such longer period as the Agent may reasonably agree, and (c) the only conditions (express or implied) to the
availability of the Backstop Credit Facilities on the Closing Date are those expressly set forth on Exhibit C hereto, and such conditions shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes
hereof, “Specified Representations” means the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Documentation relating to: organizational existence of the Borrower and the Guarantors; organizational power and authority (as they
relate to due authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Credit Documentation) of the Borrower and the Guarantors; due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant Credit Documentation (as and when executed and delivered) by
the Borrower and the Guarantors, and enforceability, in each case as it relates to the entering into and performance of the relevant Credit Documentation (as and when executed and delivered) against the Borrower and the Guarantors; solvency as of
the Closing Date (after giving effect to the Transactions) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole (in form and scope consistent with the solvency certificate to be delivered pursuant to
paragraph 1(b) of Exhibit C hereto); no conflicts of the Credit Documentation with the charter documents of the Borrower and the Guarantors; Federal Reserve margin regulations; the Investment
Company Act; the use of proceeds of the Backstop Credit Facilities not violating anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including OFAC, FCPA and the PATRIOT Act; and the creation, validity, perfection and priority of security
interests (subject in all respects to security interests and liens permitted under the Credit Documentation and to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph). This paragraph, and the provisions contained herein, shall be referred to as the
“Certain Funds Provision”.

	7.	Indemnification; Expenses. 

 You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment
Parties, their respective affiliates and controlling persons and their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, agents, advisors and other representatives (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Backstop Credit Facilities, the use of the proceeds thereof, the
Acquisition, the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any indemnified person is a
party thereto or whether such Proceeding is brought by you, any of your affiliates or any third party, and to reimburse each indemnified person within 30 days following written demand therefor (together with reasonable backup documentation
supporting such reimbursement request) for any reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
Proceeding (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to one counsel to all indemnified persons taken as a whole and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all affected indemnified persons similarly
situated, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel and one applicable regulatory counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to all such persons, taken as a whole (and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one
additional local or applicable regulatory counsel in such jurisdictions to all affected indemnified persons similarly situated, taken as a whole)); provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they arise from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of, or material breach of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Credit Documentation by,
such indemnified person (or any of its Related Parties (as defined below)), in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) any dispute solely
among indemnified persons and not arising out of any act or omission of Holdco, you, any of your or its subsidiaries (other than any Proceeding against any Commitment Party solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Agent or Arranger or
similar role under any Backstop Credit Facility), and (b) to reimburse each Commitment Party associated with the Lead Arrangers (i) on the Closing Date (to the extent an invoice therefor is received by the Invoice Date) or, if invoiced
after the Invoice Date, within 30 days following receipt of the relevant invoice or (ii) if the Closing Date has not occurred, within 30 days of receipt of an invoice, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including due diligence expenses, applicable syndication expenses and travel expenses, but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of one counsel to the Commitment Parties, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel and one applicable regulatory counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction to all such persons, taken as a whole)),
incurred in connection with the Backstop Credit Facilities and any related documentation (including this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Credit Documentation). 

No indemnified person or any other party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others (other than such party hereto or, in the case
of any indemnified person, its Related Parties) of Information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages arise from the gross negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Credit Documentation by, such indemnified person (or any of its Related Parties) or such other party hereto, as applicable, in each case as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. None of the indemnified persons, you, the Target or any of your or their respective affiliates or the respective directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of any of the foregoing shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with this 

  
 7 

 
Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Backstop Credit Facilities (including the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Backstop Credit Facilities) or the transactions contemplated hereby;
provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit your indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim
in connection with which such indemnified person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. 
 You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding
effected by any indemnified person without your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if any Proceeding is settled with your written consent, or if there is a final judgment against an indemnified person in any
such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless such indemnified person in the manner set forth above. You shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected indemnified person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against such indemnified person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person unless such settlement (a) includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each indemnified person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by you under this
Section 7 to such indemnified person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent such indemnified person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. For
purposes hereof, “Related Party” and “Related Parties” of an indemnified person mean any (or all, as the context may require) of such indemnified person’s controlled affiliates and controlling persons and its
or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees and administrators. 
  

	8.	Sharing of Information, Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. 

 Each Commitment Party, together with its
respective affiliates (the “Banks”), is a full service financial firm and as such from time to time may (a) effect transactions for its own account or the account of customers, and hold long or short positions in debt or equity
securities or loans of companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) provide debt financing, equity capital, investment banking, financial advisory services, securities trading, hedging, financing and
brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling to other companies in respect of which you or the Target may have competing interests. You acknowledge that the Banks have no obligation to use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, or to furnish to you, confidential information obtained from other companies or other persons. The Banks may have economic interests that conflict with your economic interests and those of the Target. You acknowledge and agree
that (a)(i) the arranging and other services described herein regarding the Backstop Credit Facilities are arm’s-length commercial transactions between you and your affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Banks, on the other hand, that do not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary duty on the part of any Bank, (ii) no Bank has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice to you with respect to any of
the Transactions and you have consulted your own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate and (iii) you are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions contemplated hereby; and (b) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) each Bank has been, is, and will be acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the relevant
parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for you or any of your affiliates and (ii) no Bank has any obligation to you or your affiliates except those obligations expressly set forth in this
Commitment Letter and any other agreement with you or any of your affiliates. You agree that you will not assert any claim relating to the transactions contemplated hereby against any Commitment Party based on an alleged breach of agency or
fiduciary duty.

	9.	Confidentiality. 

 This Commitment Letter is entered into on the understanding that neither this
Commitment Letter nor the Fee Letter nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed by you, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) Holdco, your subsidiaries and to your and their respective directors, officers,
employees, affiliates, members, partners, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, independent auditors, agents and other advisors, in each case on a confidential basis, (b) in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise
required by applicable law, rule or regulation or as requested by a governmental regulatory or self-regulatory authority (in which case you agree, (i) to the extent permitted by law, to inform us promptly in advance thereof and (ii) to use
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment), (c) to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the exercise of any remedy or enforcement of any right under
this Commitment Letter and/or any Fee Letter, (d) this Commitment Letter, including the existence and contents of this Commitment Letter (but not the Fee Letter or the contents thereof, other than the existence thereof and the aggregate amount
of the fees payable thereunder as part of projections, pro forma information and a generic disclosure of aggregate sources and uses to the extent customary in marketing materials and other related disclosures) may be disclosed (i) in any
syndication or other marketing materials in connection with the Backstop Credit Facilities and (ii) in connection with any public filing requirement, (e) the Term Sheets, including the existence and contents thereof (and the aggregate
amount of fees payable under the Fee Letter as part of projections, pro forma information and a generic disclosure of aggregate sources and uses), may be disclosed to any rating agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and
(f) the Term Sheets, including the existence and contents thereof (but not the Fee Letter or the contents thereof), may be disclosed (in consultation with the Lead Arrangers) to any Lenders or participants or prospective Lenders or prospective
participants and, in each case, their directors (or equivalent managers), officers, employees, affiliates, independent auditors or other experts and advisors on a confidential basis. The foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply in respect of the

Each Commitment Party shall use all information received by it from, or on behalf of, you in connection with the Transactions or any related transactions
contemplated hereby (including any such information obtained by it based on a review of any books and records relating to Holdings, you, the Target or any of your or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) solely for the purpose of providing
the services that are the subject of this Commitment Letter and shall treat confidentially all such information and the terms and contents of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and shall not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge such

or participants (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution), (b) in any legal, judicial or administrative proceeding or otherwise as required by applicable law, rule or regulation (in which case, except with respect to any audit or

otherwise interested in shares carrying voting rights in the Target, until the end of the offer period (as defined in the UK Takeover Code). The provisions of this paragraph (other than with respect to the Fee Letter and its contents) shall
automatically terminate on the date that is two years following the date of this Commitment Letter unless earlier superseded by the Credit Documentation. In no event shall any disclosure of such information referred to above be made to any

Prior to the disclosure by us of customary market information related to the Backstop Credit Facilities to “Gold Sheets” and other
similar trade publications, and to our publication of tombstones in any such trade publications relating to the Backstop Credit Facilities, we will present such materials for your prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and you

 EXHIBIT 10.1 

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE 

PEGASYSTEMS INC. 
 2004
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN 
 (as amended and restated) 

Pegasystems Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), previously established the Pegasystems, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”). The Plan, as amended and restated, was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting on June 10, 2016. At a duly noticed meeting held on May 23, 2017, the Board of Directors of the
Company, and the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved and adopted the following amendment to the Plan. 
  

	 	1.	Section 2(dd) is hereby amended as follows: 

  

	 	(dd)	“Retirement” means retirement of an Employee or Director from active employment or service with any Related Company after having attained age 60, with no intention to continue to provide services, whether as
an employee, director, independent contractor or otherwise, to any other person or entity and with the intention of concluding the Employee or Director’s working or professional career. 

 

	 	2.	Sections 9(d) through (g) are hereby amended as follows: 

  

	 	(d)	Termination of Service. If a Participant terminates Service other than by reason of the Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement, such Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as
is specified in the Stock Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement). In the absence of a
specified time in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three months following the Participant’s termination of Service. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option,
the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan unless the Committee has determined that all or part of the unvested portion of the Option will continue to vest following termination of Service, in which case the
Shares covered by the portion of the Option that will continue to vest will not revert to the Plan until the vesting of those Shares is no longer possible. If, after termination of Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified by the Committee in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 

  

	 	(e)	Disability of Participant. If a Participant terminates Service as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Stock
Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Option
Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for 24 months following the Participant’s termination of Service as the result of the Participant’s Disability. If, on the date of termination of Service, the Participant is not vested as to
his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan unless the Committee has determined that all or part of the unvested portion of the Option will continue to vest following termination of
Service, in which case the Shares covered by the portion of the Option that will continue to vest will not revert to the Plan until the vesting of those Shares is no longer possible. If, after termination of Service, the Participant does not
exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 

 

	 	(f)	 Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such
period of time as is specified in the Stock Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement) by the
Participant’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for 24 months following the
Participant’s termination of Service because of death. If, at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to the entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan on the last day of the
12th month following the date of the Participant’s death unless the Committee earlier determines that all or part of the unvested portion of the Option will become vested as of the date of the Participant’s death and/or will continue to
vest following the death of the Participant, in 

	 	
which case the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will not revert to the Plan until the vesting of those Shares is no longer possible. If the Option is not so exercised within
the time specified in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 

  

	 	(g)	Retirement of Participant. If a Participant terminates Service as a result of Retirement, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Stock Option Agreement to the
extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for 24 months following the Participant’s termination of Service as the result of the Participant’s Retirement. If, on the date of termination of Service, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan unless the Committee has determined that all or part of the unvested portion of the Option will continue to vest following termination of Service, in which
case the Shares covered by the portion of the Option that will continue to vest will not revert to the Plan until the vesting of those Shares is no longer possible. If, after termination of Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her
Option within the time specified in the Stock Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 

  

	 	3.	Section 13(g) is hereby amended as follows: 

  

	 	(g)	Amendment of Award. The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or different type, changing the expiration date or
Exercise Price or Purchase Price, providing for continued vesting of the Award following termination of Service or converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option, provided that the Participant’s consent to such action shall
be required unless the Committee determines that the action would not materially and adversely affect the Participant. 

  

	 	4.	Section 13(i) is hereby amended as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	Cancellation and Forfeiture for Misconduct, Clawback Policy. Notwithstanding the terms of any Award or other provision of the Plan in the event of any Misconduct by the Participant or Purchaser (whether before or after
the termination of Service), (i) all Awards granted to the Participant shall be terminated and the holder thereof shall have no further rights thereunder (ii) all Shares then held by the Participant or Purchaser (or any successor) which were
acquired by the Participant or Purchaser (or any successor) pursuant to an Award under the Plan shall thereupon be (or revert to being) Restricted Shares and shall be subject to a Right of Repurchase exercisable by the Company and (iii) the
Participant or Purchaser (or any successor) shall pay to the Company, within 10 business days of the Company’s request therefor, the aggregate after-tax proceeds (taking into account all amounts of tax
that would be recoverable upon a claim of loss for payment of such proceeds in the year of repayment) received by the Participant or Purchaser (or any successor) upon the sale or other disposition of, or distributions in respect of, any Award under
the Plan and any Shares acquired in respect thereof. The purchase price for Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Right of Repurchase pursuant to this Section 13(i) shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the purchase price
originally paid by the Participant or Purchaser for such Shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date of the repurchase. The following shall constitute “Misconduct” by an Participant or Purchaser: (i) the
unauthorized use or disclosure of the confidential information or trade secrets of any Related Company which use or disclosure causes material harm to the Related Company; (ii) conviction of a crime involving moral turpitude, deceit, dishonesty
or fraud; (iii) gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Participant or Purchaser with respect to any Related Company; or (iv) the breach by the Participant or Purchaser of any material term of an agreement with a Related Company
including covenants not to compete and not to solicit, and provisions relating to confidential information and intellectual property rights. In addition, Awards and Shares (and proceeds therefrom) obtained pursuant to or upon exercise of such Awards
are subject to forfeiture, setoff, clawback, recoupment or other recovery if the Committee determines in good faith that such action is required by Applicable Law or Company policy as amended from time to time. 

 

	 	5.	Except as amended by this First Amendment, all other terms of the Plan shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect Adopted by the Board: May 23, 2017
