3. The Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants stipulate and agree that, in paragraph 108 of the Second Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, paragraph 258 of the First Amended Supplemental Class Action Complaint, and paragraph 223 of the Second Supplemental Class Action Complaint, the definitions of “Class I” are amended to be the same as the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, and the definitions of “Class II” are amended to be the same as the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and that the Court’s orders preliminarily and finally approving this Settlement Agreement must so amend those Operative Class Complaints.

5. The Class Plaintiffs agree that they (a) will not seek to become Opt Outs or otherwise exclude themselves from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, or in any way, by class definition or otherwise, seek to exclude themselves from the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and (b) will not object to the Court’s preliminary or final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement.

6. Within seven business days after execution of this Class Settlement Agreement, the Class Counsel, the Visa Defendants, and the MasterCard Defendants shall establish the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) and the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreements provided in Appendices B and C hereto. Funds in those Escrow Account(s) shall be invested solely as provided in Appendices B and C hereto. The Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants agree that each Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account and each Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account is intended to be and shall be treated as a Qualified Settlement Fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1 and any analogous local, state, and/or foreign statute, law, regulation, or rule. No signature or approval from the Visa Defendants or the MasterCard Defendants shall be required for disbursement from any of the Escrow Account(s) commencing the day after ten business days after the Settlement Final Date.

7. All Taxes with respect to any sums in any Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account or any Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account, the administrative costs of paying such Taxes, and any other costs of establishing, maintaining, or administering that Escrow Account shall be paid from that Escrow Account by the Escrow Agent(s).

8. No payments from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) or the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s), or any other use of those Escrow Account(s), shall be made without the prior approval of the Court (which may include approval of payments consistent with proposed budgets and expenses). Class Plaintiffs shall provide Defendants with prior notice of any applications to the Court for such approvals sought up to ten business days

after the Settlement Final Date. In no event shall any Defendant, or any other Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party, have any obligation, responsibility, or liability arising from or relating to the administration, maintenance, preservation, investment, use, allocation, adjustment, distribution, disbursement, or disposition of any funds in the Class Settlement Escrow Account(s) or the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s).

9. The Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants agree that the Total Cash Payment Amount shall be $6,050,000,000.

10. Within ten business days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, (a) the Visa Defendants shall pay by wire transfer into the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s), from the litigation escrow account established under the Visa Defendants’ Retrospective Responsibility Plan, two-thirds of $6,050,000,000 (i.e., $4,033,333,333), and (b) the MasterCard Defendants and Bank Defendants shall pay by wire transfer into the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) a total of one-third of $6,050,000,000 (i.e., $2,016,666,667) in accordance with the agreement among themselves regarding their respective shares.

11. If this Class Settlement Agreement is not terminated prior to the commencement of the eight-month period described in Paragraphs 12 and 13 below, the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants each shall make a Default Interchange Payment by wire transfer into the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s). Those Default Interchange Payments shall be made within sixty days after the completion of the eight-month period described in Paragraphs 12 and 13 below in the event that this Class Settlement Agreement is not terminated during the eight-month period. If this Class Settlement Agreement terminates during the eight-month period described in Paragraphs 12 and 13 below, within sixty days of such termination,

the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants each shall make their respective Default Interchange Payment based only on the portion of the eight-month period that preceded the date of termination. In the event of a termination of this Class Settlement Agreement after the commencement of the eight-month period described in Paragraphs 12 and 13 below, any Default Interchange Payments made to the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) by the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants shall be distributed in a manner determined by the Court, if the parties do not enter into a new Class Settlement Agreement addressing such distribution, and in no event shall those Default Interchange Payments revert to the Visa Defendants or MasterCard Defendants or be distributed to Bank Defendants.

12. The Default Interchange Payment of the Visa Defendants shall be calculated as follows. Within sixty days after the end of the Class Exclusion Period, the Visa Defendants shall reduce the default interchange rates in the manner provided in this Paragraph on United States acquired and issued Visa-Branded Credit Card transactions for a period of eight months (i.e., terminating on the same date of the month as the period commenced eight months earlier or, if no such date exists, the first day of the following month) unless this Class Settlement Agreement is earlier terminated. That reduction shall be effected by the Visa Defendants withholding or adjusting 10 basis points from the default interchange amounts that otherwise would be provided to issuers on transactions to which default interchange rates apply. The default interchange thus withheld or adjusted that is attributable to transactions of members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, exclusive of the transactions of the Individual Plaintiffs and Opt Outs, and prior to the date of any termination of this Class Settlement Agreement during the eight-month period described in this Paragraph, shall constitute the Default Interchange Payment of the Visa Defendants. The Visa Defendants shall identify and provide Class Counsel and the Class Administrator with data used to calculate, and sufficient to analyze and evaluate, that Default

Interchange Payment. During the time period of the interchange reduction provided in this Paragraph, the Visa Defendants may not use their network fees to circumvent or evade the reduction in default interchange rates for Visa-Branded Credit Card transactions. For purposes of clarity, no modification need be made to any Visa-Branded Debit Card default interchange rates or deposits into issuer accounts, and the Visa Defendants shall not be required to modify their default interchange rates in any manner not provided in this Paragraph.

13. The Default Interchange Payment of the MasterCard Defendants shall be calculated as follows. Within sixty days after the end of the Class Exclusion Period, the MasterCard Defendants shall reduce the default interchange rates in the manner provided in this Paragraph on United States acquired and issued MasterCard-Branded Credit Card transactions for a period of eight months (i.e., terminating on the same day of the month as the period commenced eight months earlier, or if no such date exists, the first day of the following month) unless this Class Settlement Agreement is earlier terminated. That reduction shall be effected by the MasterCard Defendants withholding or adjusting 10 basis points from the default interchange amounts that otherwise would be provided to issuers on transactions to which default interchange rates apply. The default interchange thus withheld or adjusted that is attributable to transactions of members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, exclusive of the transactions of the Individual Plaintiffs and Opt Outs, and prior to the date of any termination of this Class Settlement Agreement during the eight-month period described in this Paragraph, shall constitute the Default Interchange Payment of the MasterCard Defendants. The MasterCard Defendants shall identify and provide Class Counsel and the Class Administrator with data used to calculate, and sufficient to analyze and evaluate, that Default Interchange Payment. During the time period of the interchange reduction provided in this Paragraph, the MasterCard Defendants may not use their network fees to circumvent or evade the reduction in default interchange rates for

MasterCard-Branded Credit Card transactions. For purposes of clarity, no modification need be made to any MasterCard-Branded Debit Card default interchange rates or deposits into issuer accounts, and the MasterCard Defendants shall not be required to modify their default interchange rates in any manner not provided in this Paragraph.

14. Class Plaintiffs reserve their rights to seek appropriate relief from the Court in the event the payments described in Paragraphs 9-13 above are not timely made, including but not limited to relief consisting of immediate payment, interest, and penalties.

15. The payments described in Paragraphs 9-13 above shall exhaust and fully satisfy any and all payment obligations under this Class Settlement Agreement of the Defendants and any other Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Parties, and shall extinguish entirely any further obligation, responsibility, or liability to pay any notice expenses, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, costs of administration, Taxes, settlement sums, or sums of any kind to the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) or the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s), or to the Class Plaintiffs or other members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class (other than those who opt out of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class), or to any of their respective counsel, experts, advisors, agents, and representatives, all of whom shall look solely to the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) and the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) for settlement and satisfaction of all claims released in this Class Settlement Agreement.

16. Prior to the Settlement Final Approval Date, the Escrow Agent(s) may make payments from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) only in the amounts approved by the Court, and only to pay for (a) the costs of establishing, maintaining, or administering the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) (including Taxes and the administrative costs of

paying such Taxes), and (b) Settlement Administration Costs, including the costs of the Notice Plan and the exclusion procedures for Opt Outs as provided in Paragraphs 79-93 below, and additional costs for claims administration, in amounts consistent with the limitations of Paragraph 21(c) below.

17. Within ten business days after the Settlement Final Approval Date, the Escrow Agent(s) shall make the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments provided in Paragraphs 18-20 below, in the amounts stated in the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment, regardless of any appeal or other challenge made to the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments or their amount. In the event of any appeal concerning the amount of the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments to the Visa Defendants or the MasterCard Defendants stated in the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment, and which results in a order determining that those amounts should be modified, within ten business days after the Settlement Final Date the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants shall pay any amounts to be refunded by wire transfer to the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s), and the Escrow Agents(s) shall pay any increased amounts due to the Visa Defendants or the MasterCard Defendants into an account that they shall designate.

18. Within ten business days after the Settlement Final Approval Date, the Escrow Agent(s) shall make a Class Exclusion Takedown Payment from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) to an account that the Visa Defendants shall designate, to be calculated by (a) adding the total dollar sales paid with all Visa-Branded Cards in the United States, from January 1, 2004 up to the last day of the month in which the Court enters the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, that are attributable to all persons, businesses, and other entities that become Opt Outs (other than the Individual Plaintiffs), (b) dividing that sum by the total dollar sales paid with all Visa-Branded Cards plus all MasterCard-Branded Cards in the United States, from January 1, 2004 up to the last day of the month in which the Court enters the Class

Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, that are attributable to all members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class plus all persons, business, and other entities that become Opt Outs (other than the Individual Plaintiffs), and then (c) multiplying that quotient by the Total Cash Payment Amount.

19. Within ten business days after the Settlement Final Approval Date, the Escrow Agent(s) shall make a Class Exclusion Takedown Payment from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) to an account that the MasterCard Defendants shall designate, to be calculated by (a) adding the total dollar sales paid with all MasterCard-Branded Cards in the United States, from January 1, 2004 up to the last day of the month in which the Court enters the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, that are attributable to all persons, businesses, and other entities that become Opt Outs (other than the Individual Plaintiffs), (b) dividing that sum by the total dollar sales paid with all Visa-Branded Cards plus all MasterCard-Branded Cards in the United States, from January 1, 2004 up to the last day of the month in which the Court enters the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, that are attributable to all members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class plus all persons, business, and other entities that become Opt Outs (other than the Individual Plaintiffs), and then (c) multiplying that quotient by the Total Cash Payment Amount.

20. In the event that the sum of the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments as calculated in Paragraphs 18 and 19 above would exceed twenty-five percent of the Total Cash Payment Amount (i.e., $1,512,500,000), and Defendants do not elect to terminate this Class Settlement Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 97 below, the payments under Paragraphs 18 and 19 above instead shall be calculated as provided in this Paragraph 20. The payment under Paragraph 18 to an account that the Visa Defendants shall designate shall be calculated by (w) dividing the sales described in Paragraph 18(a) by the sum of the sales described in

Paragraphs 18(a) and 19(a), and then (x) multiplying that quotient by twenty-five percent of the Total Cash Payment Amount. The payment under Paragraph 19 to an account that the MasterCard Defendants shall designate shall be calculated by (y) dividing the sales described in Paragraph 19(a) by the sum of the sales described in Paragraphs 18(a) and 19(a), and then (z) multiplying that quotient by twenty-five percent of the Total Cash Payment Amount. Prior to such payments, the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants will disclose in writing to Class Counsel the amount of those two payments, which when added together must be equal to twenty-five percent of the Total Cash Payment Amount (i.e., $1,512,500,000).

21. From the Settlement Final Approval Date to the date twenty business days after the Settlement Final Date, and subject to the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments provided in Paragraphs 17-20 above, the Escrow Agent(s) may make payments from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) only in amounts approved by the Court for (a) the costs of maintaining or administering the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) (including Taxes and the administrative costs of paying such Taxes), (b) Expense Awards in an amount not to exceed a collective total of $30 million, and (c) further approved Settlement Administration Costs in amounts not to result in a collective total for all Settlement Administration Costs that would exceed $30 million from both the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) and the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s).

22. The Expense Awards of the Court paid from the Class Settlement Escrow Account(s) under Paragraph 21 above may be paid only to the law firms that are Class Counsel, which law firms may further disseminate such funds to other law firms representing plaintiffs in the Class Actions, but subject to the terms of this Paragraph. In the event that any Expense Awards of the Court paid from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) under Paragraph 21 above are overturned or reduced on any appeal or otherwise, or in the event this

Class Settlement Agreement is terminated by the date ten business days after the Settlement Final Date, each Class Counsel law firm that received such Expense Awards (whether those Awards were retained or dissemination to other law firms) shall, within ten business days of receiving notice thereof, refund all overturned Expense Awards, or the amount by which any Expense Awards were reduced, to those Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s), with interest thereon for the period from payment to refund at the same rate as earned on the funds deposited into the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) and the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s), the basis for which rate shall be disclosed to Defendants. Any Class Counsel law firm that receives Expense Awards pursuant to Paragraph 21(b) above agrees that it, and each member or shareholder of that law firm, is jointly and severally liable solely for the amount of the Expense Awards that the Class Counsel law firm received and that must be refunded (whether those Awards were retained or disseminated to other law firms), are subject to the continuing jurisdiction of the Court for the enforcement of the obligation to make such refunds, and are liable for any attorneys’ fees and costs that Defendants incur in recovering any such funds that must be refunded, and that the release provided to that law firm in Paragraphs 37 and 73 below shall not extend to any claims regarding such refunds.

23. Commencing the day after ten business days after the Settlement Final Date, if this Class Settlement Agreement has not been terminated, and subject to the approval of the Court, the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) may be used for paying Attorney Fee Awards, Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, and Expense Awards not already paid pursuant to Paragraph 21 above, as approved by the Court.

24. Commencing the day after ten business days after the Settlement Final Date, and subject to the payments provided in Paragraphs 16-23 above, the Escrow Agent(s) may make payments from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) in amounts approved by the Court

based on applications filed with the Court and served on the Defendants, including for paying (a) the timely and proper claims of Authorized Cash Claimants pursuant to the Plan of Administration and Distribution approved by the Court, and (b) Settlement Administration Costs not already paid pursuant to Paragraph 21 above that are approved by the Court.

25. Until ten business days after the Settlement Final Date, the Escrow Agent(s) may make payments from the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) only in the amounts approved by the Court, and only to pay for (a) the costs of establishing, maintaining, or administering the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) (including Taxes and the administrative costs of paying such Taxes), and (b) Settlement Administration Costs in amounts not to result in a collective total for all Settlement Administration Costs that would exceed $30 million from both the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) and the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s).

26. Commencing the day after ten business days after the Settlement Final Date, the Escrow Agent(s) may make payments from the Class Settlement Interchange Accounts in amounts approved by the Court based on applications filed with the Court and served on Defendants, including for paying the timely and proper claims of members of Authorized Interchange Claimants pursuant to the Plan of Administration and Distribution approved by the Court.

27. Notwithstanding anything in Paragraphs 6-26 above, in the event that this Class Settlement Agreement is terminated as provided in Paragraphs 96-98 below, the Escrow Agent(s) shall promptly pay two-thirds of any sums in the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s), less any Taxes due and Settlement Administration Costs approved by the Court and already paid or incurred, to an account that the Visa Defendants shall designate, and shall promptly pay one-third of any sums in the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s), less any

Taxes due and Settlement Administration Costs approved by the Court and paid or incurred, to an account that the MasterCard Defendants shall designate.

28. Members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class shall receive money payments from the Net Cash Settlement Fund — i.e., the amounts deposited into the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) by virtue of the payment of the Total Cash Payment Amount, as reduced by the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments and other payments permitted under Paragraphs 16-24 above — pursuant to the claims process specified in the Plan of Administration and Distribution attached as Appendix I hereto, which Class Plaintiffs will propose to the Court in moving for preliminary approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, and as later or otherwise modified and ordered by the Court.

29. Members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class that accepted Visa-Branded Credit Card transactions during the eight month or shorter period provided in Paragraph 12 above, and/or that accepted MasterCard-Branded Credit Card transactions during the eight month or shorter period provided in Paragraph 13 above, shall receive money payments from the Net Interchange Settlement Fund — i.e., the amounts deposited into the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s), as reduced by the payments permitted under Paragraphs 25-26 above — pursuant to the claims process specified in the Plan of Administration and Distribution attached as Appendix I hereto, which Class Plaintiffs will propose to the Court in moving for preliminary approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, and as later or otherwise modified and ordered by the Court.

30. Insofar as any sums remain in the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) or the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Account(s) after paying the timely and proper claims of the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class as provided in the preceding two Paragraphs

(whether made in one or more distributions), any Taxes or administrative expenses incurred by the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) or the Class Settlement Interchange Escrow Accounts, any Attorneys’ Fee Awards, any Expense Awards, any Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, and any additional costs and expenses incurred by Class Counsel for the benefit of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and approved by the Court, Class Counsel shall make an application to the Court, with notice to Defendants, for such sums to be used to make cy pres payments for the benefit of members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class. Defendants may comment upon and/or object to any such application.

changes in the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties’ Rules as a result of this Class Settlement Agreement;

and it is expressly agreed, for purposes of clarity, without expanding or limiting the foregoing, that any claims based on or relating to (a)-(i) above are claims that were or could have been alleged in this Action.

34. Each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party further expressly and irrevocably waives, and fully, finally, and forever settles and releases, any and all defenses, rights, and benefits that the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party may have or that may be derived from the provisions of applicable law which, absent such waiver, may limit the extent or effect of the release contained in the preceding Paragraphs 31-33. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party expressly and irrevocably waives and releases any and all defenses, rights, and benefits that the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party might otherwise have in relation to the release by virtue of the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 or similar laws of any other state or jurisdiction. SECTION 1542 PROVIDES: “CERTAIN CLAIMS NOT AFFECTED BY GENERAL RELEASE. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” In addition, although each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party may hereafter discover facts other than, different from, or in addition to those that it or he or she knows or believes to be true with respect to any claims released in the preceding Paragraphs 31-33, each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party hereby expressly waives, and fully, finally, and forever settles, discharges, and releases, any known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or

non-contingent claims within the scope of the preceding Paragraphs 31-33, whether or not concealed or hidden, and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such other, different, or additional facts. Class Plaintiffs acknowledge, and the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class shall be deemed by operation of the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment to have acknowledged, that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and is a key element of this Class Settlement Agreement.

35. Each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party covenants and agrees that it shall not, hereafter, seek to establish, or permit another to act for it in a representative capacity to seek to establish, liability against any of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties based, in whole or in part, upon any conduct covered by any of the claims released in Paragraphs 31-34 above.

36. For avoidance of doubt, no other provision of this Class Settlement Agreement releases any claim of a Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party that is based on:

(b) standard commercial disputes arising in the ordinary course of business under contracts or commercial relations regarding loans, lines of credit, or other related banking or credit relations, individual chargeback disputes, products liability, breach of warranty, misappropriation of cardholder data or invasion of privacy, compliance with technical specifications for a merchant’s acceptance of Credit Cards or Debit Cards, and any other dispute arising out of a breach of any contract between any of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Parties and any of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties; provided, however, that Paragraphs 31-35 above and not this Paragraph shall control in the event that any such claim challenges the legality of interchange rules, interchange rates, or interchange fees, or

any other Rule fee, charge, or other conduct covered by any of the claims released in Paragraphs 31-35 above; or

(c) the claims alleged in the currently operative complaints against the current defendants in (i) NACS, et al. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, No. 11-CV-02075-RJL (D.D.C.), and (ii) In re ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation, No. 04-CV-02676-CRB (N.D. Cal) (including claims that have been asserted to have been alleged in the Second Amended and Third Amended Complaints against Bank of America, N.A.).

37. Each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party further releases each of the Visa Defendants, MasterCard Defendants, and Bank Defendants and their counsel and experts in this Action from any claims relating to the defense of this Action, including the negotiation and terms of this Class Settlement Agreement, except for any claims relating to enforcement of this Class Settlement Agreement. Each Visa Defendant, MasterCard Defendant, and Bank Defendant releases the Class Plaintiffs, the other plaintiffs in the Class Actions, Class Counsel, Class Plaintiffs’ other counsel who have participated in any settlement conferences before the Court for a Class Plaintiff that executes this Class Settlement Agreement, and their respective experts in the Class Actions, from any claims relating to their institution or prosecution of the Class Actions, including the negotiation and terms of this Class Settlement Agreement, except for any claims relating to enforcement of this Class Settlement Agreement.

38. In the event that this Class Settlement Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 96-98 below, or any condition for the Settlement Final Approval Date is not satisfied, the release and covenant not to sue provisions of Paragraphs 31-37 above shall be null and void and unenforceable.

39. Members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class shall receive no money payments, but shall receive relief as set forth below.

40. The Visa Defendants shall maintain their respective “no discounting” and “non-discrimination” rules as provided in, and for the time period provided in, the Final Judgment that the court entered on July 20, 2011 in United States v. American Express Co., et al., No. 10-CV-04496 (E.D.N.Y.) (NGG) (RER), a copy of which is attached as Appendix I, and shall maintain at no cost in the United States, consistent with the terms of the Final Judgment, the Visa Product Eligibility Service described in the Declaration of Judson Reed filed on June 14, 2011 in that action, subject to any subsequent modifications thereto in that action. In the event that the obligations imposed on the Visa Defendants in that Final Judgment are terminated in that action before July 20, 2021, those obligations shall thenceforth be imposed on the Visa Defendants under this Class Settlement Agreement in this Action but only until July 20, 2021.

41. Commencing sixty days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, the Visa Defendants will permit a merchant to decline acceptance of all “Visa POS Debit Devices” or all “Other Visa Products,” as defined pursuant to Visa’s settlement agreement in the In re Visa Check/MasterMoney Antitrust Litigation, No. 96-CV-05238 (E.D.N.Y.) (JG) (JO), at all outlets that operate under the same trade name or banner in the United States, even if that merchant accepts all “Visa POS Debit Devices or all “Other Visa Products” at outlets that operate under a different trade name or banner within or outside of the United States. Nothing herein shall prevent the Visa Defendants from retaining or promulgating rules that require a merchant, (a) to the extent that the merchant accepts “Visa POS Debit Devices” at any of the merchant’s outlets

operating under a given trade name or banner in the United States, to accept “Visa POS Debit Devices” at all outlets operating under that trade name or banner, or (b) to the extent that the merchant accepts “Other Visa Products” at any of the merchant’s outlets operating under a given trade name or banner in the United States, to accept “Other Visa Products” at all outlets operating under that trade name or banner. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Visa Defendants from (a) using volume-based pricing and pricing incentives, or (b) contracting with an individual merchant, including for more favorable pricing, based on its acceptance at all outlets in the United States; provided, however, that the Visa Defendants shall not require merchant acceptance at all outlets in connection with a volume-based incentive program made generally available to all merchants in the United States.

42. Within sixty days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, the Visa Defendants shall modify their “no surcharge” rules to permit a merchant in the United States to surcharge Visa-Branded Credit Card Transactions at either (but not both) the “Brand Level” or the “Product Level,” as defined below in this Paragraph 42 and subject to the terms and conditions in this Paragraph 42.

(b) Product Level Surcharging: A permitted Product Level Surcharge is one in which:

(c) Merchant Surcharging Disclosure Requirements: A merchant’s ability to apply either a Brand Level or Product Level Surcharge is conditioned on the merchant’s agreement to abide by the following disclosure requirements. A merchant must:

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement, including Paragraph 42, shall preclude the Visa Defendants from maintaining their prohibition of surcharging at the issuer level, i.e., adding surcharges that are not the same, after accounting for any discounts or rebates offered by a merchant at the point of sale, for all Visa Credit Cards or all Visa Credit Cards of a given product type, regardless of the issuing financial institution; and it is expressly agreed for the purpose of clarity that any claim relating to the past, continued, or future prohibition of such surcharging is within the scope of the Releases and Covenants Not to Sue set forth in Paragraphs 31-38 and 66-74.

(e) The Visa Defendants shall modify any other rules as necessary to ensure that the changes set forth in Paragraph 42(a) above are also applicable to merchants located in all United States territories and possessions, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

(f) Nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement shall prevent the Visa Defendants from contracting with merchants not to surcharge Visa-Branded Credit Cards or any Product type of Visa-Branded Credit Card as long as (i) the agreement is for a fixed duration, (ii) is not subject to an evergreen clause, (iii) is individually negotiated with the merchant or merchants organized in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 43 below and is not a standard agreement or part of a standard agreement generally by the Visa Defendants, and (iv) any such agreement or waiver is supported by Independent Consideration; provided, however, that nothing in this agreement shall affect any right of the Visa Defendants to limit or decline acceptance of Visa by a payment aggregator or payment services provider with a proprietary acceptance mark that surcharges or discriminates against Visa.

(g) In the event that Visa debit card transactions are no longer subject to the rate cap established by Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1693o-2 and its implementing regulations or any other regulated rate cap that may be subsequently implemented, the Visa Defendants will further modify the Visa rules to permit merchants to surcharge Visa debit card transactions in a manner equivalent to that permitted for Visa Credit Card transactions pursuant to Paragraph 42(a) above.

43. Within sixty days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, the Visa Defendants shall modify their rules, by-laws, or regulations to the extent necessary to eliminate any restrictions therein on merchants’ rights to properly organize bona fide buying groups that comply with the requirements of the DOJ Guidelines on Competitor Collaboration, the DOJ and FTC’s Statements of Antitrust Enforcement Policy in Health Care, and other applicable legal standards, to negotiate with Visa on behalf of members of the buying group. With respect to any proposals that Visa believes provides reasonable commercial benefits to the parties, Visa will negotiate with such buying groups in an effort to reach a commercially reasonable agreement, and Visa agrees to exercise its discretion and business judgment in good faith: (a) in determining whether a proposal sets forth commercially reasonable benefits to the parties; (b) in negotiations related to such proposals; and (c) in making its determination whether to accept or reject a proposal. In the event that any dispute arises with respect to this provision, the parties will be subject to the jurisdiction of, and the dispute shall be resolved by, the Court presiding over this Action, as part of the continuing jurisdiction of the Court over this Settlement and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class. In the event of such dispute, the party raising the dispute shall be limited to seeking declaratory relief, and to no other form of relief. The declaratory relief available as to any such dispute shall be limited to deciding whether (y) the putative buying group is a properly organized bona fide buying group that complies with the requirements of this

Paragraph, and/or (z) whether Visa negotiated in good faith with the putative buying group. The parties, including all members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, waive all rights to appeal from any such determinations. Upon resolution of the dispute by the Court, the losing party shall be responsible for all attorneys’ fees and expenses of the prevailing party unless the Court determines that the circumstances make such an award unjust.

44. In the event that the obligations imposed on the Visa Defendants under 15 U.S.C. § 1693o-2(b)(3)(A)(i) not to prohibit merchants from setting a minimum dollar value for acceptance of credit cards that does not differentiate between issuers or payment card networks and that does not exceed $10.00 are terminated before July 20, 2021, those obligations shall thenceforth be imposed on the Visa Defendants under this Class Settlement Agreement but only until July 20, 2021.

46. The Visa Defendants retain the right, but are in no way obligated, to further modify their by-laws, rules, operating regulations, practices, policies or procedures addressed in Paragraphs 40-45 in a manner that is more permissive of a merchant’s ability to engage in the point of sale practices described therein; provided, however, that it is expressly agreed for the purpose of clarity that any claim relating to a lack of such further modification of the by-laws, rules, operating regulations, practices, policies, or procedures addressed in Paragraphs 40-45 is within the scope of the Releases and Covenants Not to Sue set forth in Paragraphs 31-38 and 66-74.

47. The Visa Defendants shall not be required to modify their by-laws, rules, operating regulations, practices, policies, or procedures in any manner other than as provided in Paragraphs 40-45 above. From the date of execution of this Class Settlement Agreement to the

Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, the Visa Defendants shall provide Class Counsel with advance notice of any material changes to their by-laws, rules, operating regulations, practices, policies, or procedures that pertain to Paragraphs 40-45 above and Paragraph 48 below. If Class Counsel believe that any of those material changes would result in a breach of this Class Settlement Agreement, they may seek relief from the Court after meeting and conferring with the Visa Defendants.

48. Any Visa by-laws, rules, operating regulations, practices, policies, or procedures amended pursuant to Paragraphs 40-45 above shall be enforced pursuant to Visa’s existing compliance rules and standards, including specifically Visa International Operating Regulations Core Principles 2.3 and 6.4. In the event that Visa takes action against a merchant’s acquirer or the merchant for the merchant’s failure to comply with the provisions of Paragraph 42 above, Visa shall provide notice of Visa’s action to Class Counsel or their designee.

49. No later than thirty days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, and before any modifications of the Visa Defendants’ operating regulations necessary to effect Paragraphs 41-43 above become effective, the Visa Defendants shall (a) post on the Visa website a written notification that describes those modifications, (b) provide that written notification to all Visa issuers and acquirers in the United States, and (c) and direct Visa acquirers in the United States to provide that written notification to all merchants with whom they have acquiring relationships. The Visa Defendants agree to provide Class Counsel with an opportunity to offer comments on the language of that written notification.

50. Nothing in the foregoing changes to the Visa Defendants’ rules, by-laws, and/or operating regulations described in Paragraphs 40-45 above shall affect any obligation of any member of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class to comply with all applicable state or federal laws,

including but not limited to state laws regarding surcharging of credit or debit card transactions, and federal and state laws regarding deceptive or misleading disclosures.

51. Nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement shall limit the ability of any Visa Defendant to set interchange rates, whether default rates or rates applicable (either by rule or negotiated agreement) to individual merchants, groups of merchants, or merchant trade associations.

52. Nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement shall impose any limitation upon any other conduct of any Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Defendant not expressly modified by the terms hereof.

The MasterCard Defendants shall maintain their respective “no discounting” and “non-discrimination” rules as provided in, and for the time period provided in, the Final Judgment that the court entered on July 20, 2011 in United States v. American Express Co., et al., No. 10-CV-04496 (E.D.N.Y.)

In the event that the obligations imposed on the MasterCard Defendants in that Final Judgment are terminated in that action before July 20, 2021, those obligations shall thenceforth be imposed on the MasterCard Defendants under this Class Settlement Agreement in this Action but only until July 20, 2021.

(JG) (JO), at all outlets that operate under the same trade name or banner in the United States, even if that merchant accepts all “MasterCard POS Debit Devices or all “Other MasterCard Products” at outlets that operate under a different trade name or banner within or outside of the United States. Nothing herein shall prevent the MasterCard Defendants from retaining or promulgating rules that require a merchant, (a) to the extent that the merchant accepts “MasterCard POS Debit Devices” at any of the merchant’s outlets operating under a given trade name or banner in the United States, to accept “MasterCard POS Debit Devices” at all outlets operating under that trade name or banner, or (b) to the extent that the merchant accepts “Other MasterCard Products” at any of the merchant’s outlets operating under a given trade name or banner in the United States, to accept “Other MasterCard Products” at all outlets operating under that trade name or banner.

Within sixty days after the Settlement Preliminary Approval Date, the MasterCard Defendants shall modify their “no surcharge” rules to permit a merchant in the United States to surcharge MasterCard-Branded Credit Card Transactions at either (but not both) the “Brand Level” or the “Product Level,” as defined below in this Paragraph 55 and subject to the terms and conditions in this Paragraph 55.

(b) Product Level Surcharging: A permitted Product Level Surcharge is one in which:

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement, including Paragraph 55, shall preclude the MasterCard Defendants from maintaining their prohibition of surcharging at the issuer level, i.e., adding surcharges that are not the same, after accounting for any discounts or rebates offered by a merchant at the point of sale, for all MasterCard Credit Cards or all MasterCard Credit Cards of a given product type, regardless of the issuing financial institution; and it is expressly agreed for the purpose of clarity that any

States as of the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, any Rule modified or to be modified pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement, or any Rule that is substantially similar to any Rule in effect in the United States as of the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order or any Rule modified or to be modified pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement;

(h) the future effect in the United States of any conduct of any Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party substantially similar to the conduct of any Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party related to or arising out of interchange rules, interchange fees, or interchange rates, any Rule of any Visa Defendant or MasterCard Defendant modified or to be modified pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement, any other Rule of any Visa Defendant or any MasterCard Defendant in effect as of the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, or any Rule substantially similar to any of the foregoing Rules;

Provided, however, that any Opt Out that is also a member of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class shall not be deemed to have released any claims for damages based on any

Rules or other conduct, acts, transactions, events, occurrences, statements, omissions, or failures to act of any Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party prior to the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order.

69. Each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party further expressly and irrevocably waives, and fully, finally, and forever settles and releases, any and all defenses, rights, and benefits that the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party may have or that may be derived from the provisions of applicable law which, absent such waiver, may limit the extent or effect of the release contained in the preceding Paragraphs 66-68. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party expressly and irrevocably waives and releases any and all defenses, rights, and benefits that the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party might otherwise have in relation to the release by virtue of the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 or similar laws of any other state or jurisdiction. SECTION 1542 PROVIDES: “CERTAIN CLAIMS NOT AFFECTED BY GENERAL RELEASE. A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” In addition, although each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party may hereafter discover facts other than, different from, or in addition to those that it or he or she knows or believes to be true with respect to any claims released in the preceding Paragraphs 66-68, each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party hereby expressly waives, and fully, finally, and forever settles, discharges, and releases, any known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent claims within the scope of the preceding Paragraphs 66-68, whether or not concealed or hidden, and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such other,

different, or additional facts. Class Plaintiffs acknowledge, and the members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class shall be deemed by operation of the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment to have acknowledged, that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for and is a key element of this Class Settlement Agreement.

70. Each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party covenants and agrees that it shall not, hereafter, seek to establish, or permit another to act for it in a representative capacity to seek to establish, liability against any of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Parties based, in whole or in part, upon any conduct covered by any of the claims released in Paragraphs 66-69 above.

71. For purposes of clarity, it is specifically intended for the release and covenant not to sue provisions of Paragraphs 66-70 above to preclude all members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class from seeking or obtaining any form of declaratory, injunctive, or equitable relief, or damages or other monetary relief relating to the period after the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order with respect to any Rule of any Visa Defendant or any MasterCard Defendant, and the compliance by any Bank Defendant with any such Rule, as it is alleged to exist, now exists, may be modified in the manner provided in Paragraphs 40-45 and 53-57 above, or may in the future exist in the same or substantially similar form thereto.

72. For avoidance of doubt, no other provision of this Class Settlement Agreement releases any claim of a Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party that is based on:

misappropriation of cardholder data or invasion of privacy, compliance with technical specifications for a merchant’s acceptance of Credit Cards or Debit Cards, and any other dispute arising out of a breach of any contract between any of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Parties and any of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Parties; provided, however, that Paragraphs 66-71 above and not this Paragraph shall control in the event that any such claim challenges the legality of interchange rules, interchange rates, or interchange fees, or any other Rule, fee, charge, or other conduct covered by any of the claims released in Paragraphs 66-71 above;

(c) the claims alleged in the currently operative complaints against the current defendants in (i) NACS, et al. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, No. 11-CV-02075-RJL (D.D.C.), and (ii) In re ATM Fee Antitrust Litigation, No. 04-CV-02676-CRB (N.D. Cal) (including claims that have been asserted to have been alleged in the Second Amended or Third Amended Complaints against Bank of America, N.A.); or

(d) a claim seeking only injunctive relief against only the Visa Defendants regarding the legality of Visa’s Fixed Acquirer Network Fee.

73. Each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Releasing Party further releases each of the Visa Defendants, MasterCard Defendants, and Bank Defendants and their counsel and experts in this Action from any claims relating to the defense of this Action, including the negotiation and terms of this Class Settlement Agreement, except for any claims relating to enforcement of this Class Settlement Agreement. Each Visa Defendant, MasterCard Defendant, and Bank Defendant releases the Class Plaintiffs, other plaintiffs in the Class Actions, Class Counsel, Class Plaintiffs’ other counsel who have participated in any settlement conferences before the Court for a Class Plaintiff that executes this Class Settlement Agreement, and their respective experts in the Class Actions, from any claims relating to their institution or prosecution of the Class Actions,

including the negotiation and terms of this Class Settlement Agreement, except for any claims relating to enforcement of this Class Settlement Agreement.

74. In the event that this Class Settlement Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraphs 96-98 below, or any condition for the Settlement Final Approval Date is not satisfied, the release and covenant not to sue provisions of Paragraphs 66-73 above shall be null and void and unenforceable.

75. Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and Defendants agree to use reasonable and good faith efforts to effectuate the Court’s preliminary approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, including filing necessary motion papers and scheduling any necessary hearings for a date and time that are convenient for the Court.

76. Separately from any motions for Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, the Class Plaintiffs and Class Counsel agree to file with the Court a motion and supporting papers seeking preliminary approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, after providing Defendants with at least ten days advance notice of the contents of those papers, and to seek the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order in the form in Appendix D hereto, which will:

(a) Preliminarily approve this Class Settlement Agreement as being within the range of a fair, reasonable, and adequate settlement within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 and applicable law, and consistent with due process.

(b) Approve the provisional certification of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class defined in Paragraph 2 above for settlement purposes only, and declare that in the event of termination of this Class Settlement Agreement, certification of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class shall

automatically be vacated and each Defendant may fully contest certification of any class as if no Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class had been certified.

(c) Appoint as Class Counsel the law firms of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P., Berger & Montague, P.C., and Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP.

(d) Appoint as the Class Administrator to assist Class Counsel in effectuating and administering the Notice Plan and the exclusion process for Opt Outs, in analyzing and evaluating the amount of the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments and the Default Interchange Payments, and in effectuating and administering the claims process for members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class.

(e) Determine that notice should be provided to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, but that exclusion rights should be afforded only to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class.

(f) Approve the method of notice to be provided to the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class in substantially the form described in the Notice Plan and budget contained in Appendix E hereto, including use of the long-form website and mail notice and the publication notice contained in Appendix F hereto, and direct any further notice (and expenses therefor) that the Court may find necessary to provide due process.

(g) Approve the procedures in substantially the form described in the Notice Plan and below for members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class to become Opt Outs and exclude themselves from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, and including the provision of the information specified in Paragraph 84 below, and approve the procedures in substantially the form described in the Notice Plan and below for members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class to object to this Class Settlement Agreement.

(h) Schedule a final approval hearing for a time and date convenient for the Court at least two hundred eighty five days after the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, at which hearing the Court will conduct an inquiry into the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of this Class Settlement Agreement and address any objections to it, and determine whether this Class Settlement Agreement and the Plan of Administration and Distribution should be finally approved, and whether to approve any motions for Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, and Class Plaintiffs’ Awards.

(i) Stay all further proceedings in this Action as between the Class Plaintiffs or any other plaintiff in a putative class action consolidated in MDL 1720, and the Defendants or any other defendant in a putative class action consolidated in MDL 1720, except for proceedings in MDL 1720 related to effectuating and complying with this Class Settlement Agreement, pending the Court’s determination of whether this Class Settlement Agreement should be finally approved or the termination of this Class Settlement Agreement.

(j) Enjoin the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, pending the Court’s determination of whether this Class Settlement should finally be approved or the termination of this Class Settlement Agreement, from challenging in any action or proceeding any matter covered by this Class Settlement Agreement or its release and covenant not to sue provisions, except for (i) proceedings in MDL 1720 related to effectuating and complying with this Class Settlement Agreement, and (ii) any Opt Out’s claims for damages based on any conduct, acts, transactions, events, occurrences, statements, omissions, or failures to act of any Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party prior to the date of the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order.

77. Prior to forty five days before the end of the Class Exclusion Period and Class Objection Period specified in Paragraphs 83 and 85 below, Class Counsel will file all motion and

supporting papers seeking the Court’s final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, and any Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards with respect to any Class Action, so that notice of such motion or motions and any awards sought may be provided to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and to the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class under the Notice Plan.

78. Within ten days after the filing with the Court of this Class Settlement Agreement and the accompanying motion papers seeking its preliminary approval, the Defendants shall cause notice of the Class Settlement Agreement to be served upon appropriate State and Federal officials as provided in the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1715.

79. Class Counsel and the Class Administrator shall carry out the settlement notice and exclusion procedures as ordered by the Court, and shall perform such related duties as may be necessary to provide those notice and exclusion procedures.

80. As soon as practicable following the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, but before commencement of the mail and publication notice, the Class Administrator shall establish the dedicated Case Website, post office box, and toll-free telephone line for providing notice and information to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and receiving exclusion requests from members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, as provided in the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order and the Notice Plan contained in Appendices C and D hereto.

81. Commencing immediately and in no event later than twenty days following the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order:

(a) The Visa Defendants shall provide to Class Counsel, in machine readable format where available, information from the Visa SQL-AIM database and the Visa Merchant

Profile Database as can be produced without undue burden and that is identified by Class Counsel as reasonably necessary to effectuate the Notice Plan and the Plan of Administration and Distribution. The Visa Defendants shall also provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Class Counsel and/or the Class Administrator in understanding and utilizing such information for purposes of effectuating the Notice Plan and Plan of Administration and Distribution. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the information is produced and cooperation given without imposing any undue burden on the Visa Defendants. The Visa Defendants shall also provide readily available contact information for the largest non-Bank Defendant acquirers identified in Paragraph 79(d) below.

(b) The MasterCard Defendants shall provide to Class Counsel, in machine readable format where available, information that may be obtained through searches of its data bases (in a manner consistent with MasterCard’s prior production of aggregated merchant and transactional data in MDL 1720) as can be produced without undue burden and that is identified by Class Counsel as reasonably necessary to effectuate the Notice Plan and Plan of Administration and Distribution. The MasterCard Defendants shall also provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to Class Counsel and/or the Class Administrator in understanding and utilizing such information for purposes of effectuating the Notice Plan and Plan of Administration and Distribution. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the information is produced and cooperation given without imposing any undue burden on the MasterCard Defendants.

The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the information is produced and cooperation given without imposing any undue burden on the Bank Defendants.

(d) The Class Plaintiffs shall subpoena, to obtain the names and locations of any members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, as many non-Bank Defendant acquirers as would be necessary to attempt to obtain merchant name and location information attributable to more than 90% of merchant transaction volume and 90% of merchant outlets as reported in Nilson Report 990 (March 2012).

82. Within ninety days following the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, the Class Administrator shall complete the mail and publication notice to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, using the long form mail notice and the publication notice contained in Appendix F hereto, as provided in the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order and the Notice Plan contained in Appendices D and E hereto, or as otherwise ordered by the Court.

83. As explained in the long-form notice and publication notice contained in Appendix F hereto, any member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class that does not wish to participate in the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class shall have until one hundred eighty days after the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order — i.e., ninety days after the last date for completion of the mail and publication notice (the “Class Exclusion Period”) — to submit a request to become an Opt Out and be excluded from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class.

84. A member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class may effect such an exclusion by sending a written request to the Class Administrator, by first-class mail with postage prepaid and postmarked within the Class Exclusion Period. The written request must be signed by a person authorized to do so, and provide all of the following information:

(a) The words “In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation.”

(d) The business names, brand names, and addresses of any stores or sales locations whose sales the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class member desires to be excluded from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class.

85. As also explained in the long-form notice and publication notice contained in Appendix F hereto, any Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class member that does not submit a request for exclusion, or any Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class member, shall have until one hundred eighty days after the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order — i.e., ninety days after the last date for completion of the mail and publication notice (the “Class Objection Period”) — to submit an objection to this Class Settlement Agreement (be an “Objector”) and any notice to appear.

86. Such an Objector must file with the Court within the Class Objection Period and send to a designee of Class Counsel and a designee of counsel for the Defendants, by first-class mail and postmarked within the Class Objection Period, a written statement of objections. The

Objector’s statement must: (a) contain the words “In re Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation”; (b) state each and every objection of the Objector and the specific reasons therefor; (c) provide all legal support and all evidence that the Objector wishes to bring to the Court’s attention in support of any objection; (d) state the full name and address and telephone number of the Objector; (e) provide information sufficient to establish that the Objector is a Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Member and/or a Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class member; and (f) state the full name, mail address, email address, and telephone number of any counsel representing the Objector in connection with the objections.

87. In addition, any Objector or counsel for an Objector that desires to appear at the final approval hearing must file with the Court within the Class Objection Period, and send to a designee of Class Counsel and a designee of counsel for the Defendants by first class mail and postmarked within the Class Objection Period, a separate notice of intention to appear that identifies by name, position, address, and telephone number each person who intends to appear at the final approval hearing on behalf of the Objector.

88. Upon receipt of any objection or notice of intention to appear, whether as provided in Paragraphs 86-87 above or otherwise, the designees of Class Counsel and counsel for the Defendants shall confer to ensure that they each receive a complete copy of all objections and any notice of intention to appear.

89. Within one hundred ninety-five days after the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order — i.e., within fifteen days after the conclusion of the Class Exclusion Period — the Class Administrator shall prepare and file with the Court, and provide to a designee of Class Counsel, a designee of counsel for the Visa Defendants, a designee of counsel for the MasterCard Defendants, and a designee of counsel for the Bank Defendants, a report that:

(a) Confirms that the Notice Plan was carried out and that the website notice, mail notice, publication notice, and any other notice to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class was provided in the manner directed by the Court.

(b) Identifies the date when the Case Website was fully established and its content made available to the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, the date or dates on which mail notices were mailed, the dates of the publication notices, and the date or dates of any other notice directed by the Court.

(c) Lists each member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class that sought to become an Opt Out and be excluded from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, and on what date the request to be excluded was postmarked and received, and states whether the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class member’s request for exclusion was timely and properly made.

(d) Attaches a copy of all documentation concerning each request for exclusion that the Class Administrator received, with any taxpayer identification number, or other confidential information filed under seal with the Court.

90. After receipt of the Class Administrator’s report and its supporting documentation, the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments will be determined as follows:

(a) Within fifteen days or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants shall provide Class Counsel and the Class Administrator with a report that calculates, based on the Opt Outs, the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments that should be made to the Visa Defendants and to the MasterCard Defendants pursuant to Paragraphs 17-20 above. The Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants also shall identify and provide Class Counsel and the Class Administrator with the data used to make, and sufficient to analyze and evaluate, those calculations. It is intended for the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments to account fully for all the Opt Outs to the extent

possible, but Opt Out data that cannot be determined or estimated in any reasonable manner shall not be included for the purposes of calculating the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments under Paragraphs 18(a) or 19(a) above.

(b) Class Counsel may, at its option, request that the Class Administrator provide, within fifteen days after receiving the report of the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants, an analysis and evaluation of the report of the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants, including all of its assumptions, data sources, and conclusions, and/or request that the Class Administrator prepare an independent report calculating the amount of the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments that should be made to the Visa Defendants and to the MasterCard Defendants.

(c) In the event that within thirty days after receiving the report of the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants — i.e., within approximately two hundred forty days after the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order — the Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants have not resolved all differences regarding the amount of the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments to be made to the Visa Defendants and the MasterCard Defendants, they shall submit their dispute to the Court for resolution in connection with the final approval hearing, so that the Court’s Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment may identify each Opt Out and state the Class Exclusion Takedown Payments to be made, respectively, to the Visa Defendants and to the MasterCard Defendants from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s) as provided in Paragraphs 17-20 above.

91. The Class Administrator’s expenses for the foregoing notice and exclusion activities, including those of any third-party vendors it uses to perform tasks necessary for the implementation or effectuation of its duties, shall be paid from the Class Settlement Cash Escrow Account(s). In no event shall any Defendant, Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party, or

Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party have any obligation, responsibility, or liability with respect to the Class Administrator, the Notice Plan, or the exclusion procedures for members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, including with respect to the costs, administration expenses, or any other charges for any notice and exclusion procedures.

92. Class Counsel may, upon notice to the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class in the manner approved by the Court, seek Attorneys’ Fee Awards and Expense Awards. Class Counsel intend to apply for an Attorneys’ Fee Award in an amount that is a reasonable percentage of the Total Cash Payment Amount and for Expense Awards comprising all reasonable expenses and costs incurred, which requested amounts will be disclosed in the mail, publication, and other notices provided to members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class. Class Counsel reserve the right to make additional applications for Attorneys’ Fee Awards and Expense Awards for fees and expenses incurred after the Preliminary Approval Date, including for achieving the Settlement Final Approval Date and Settlement Final Date, and for the administration of this Class Settlement Agreement. Class Counsel shall allocate any Attorneys’ Fee Awards and Expense Awards among counsel for the Class Plaintiffs and counsel for other plaintiffs in the Class Actions in a manner which they in good faith believe reflects the contribution of those counsel to the prosecution and settlement of the Class Actions in this Action.

93. The Court may consider any applications for Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards separately from a motion for preliminary or final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, and may enter orders regarding such applications separately from the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment. Any rehearing, reconsideration, vacation, review, appeal, or any other action taken regarding only a separate order concerning only an application for Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, and not in

any way concerning the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment, shall not delay the Settlement Final Date that otherwise would occur with respect to the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment.

94. Upon the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Preliminary Approval Order, the Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and the Defendants agree to use reasonable and good faith efforts to effectuate the Court’s final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, including filing the necessary motion papers and scheduling any necessary hearings for a date and time that are convenient for the Court.

95. Separately from any motions for Attorneys’ Fee Awards, Expense Awards, or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, the Class Plaintiffs agree to file with the Court a motion and supporting papers seeking final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, after providing Defendants with at least ten days advance notice of the contents of those papers, and to seek the Court’s entry of the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment in the form in Appendix G hereto, which will:

(a) Determine that the Court has jurisdiction over the Class Plaintiffs, all members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, all members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and the Defendants, and jurisdiction to finally approve this Class Settlement Agreement.

(b) Approve the notice and exclusion procedures provided to the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, and the notice procedures provided to the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, as fair, adequate, and sufficient, as the best practicable notice under the circumstances, and as reasonably calculated to apprise members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class of the Action, this Class Settlement Agreement, and their objection rights, and to apprise members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class of their exclusion

(e) the terms and conditions of this Class Settlement Agreement, any publicly disseminated information regarding this Class Settlement Agreement, and any orders, motion filings, objections, or oral argument concerning this Class Settlement Agreement, including any motion papers with respect to motions for preliminary or final approval of this Class Settlement Agreement, or for Attorneys’ Fee Awards or Expense Awards or Class Plaintiffs’ Awards, may not thereafter be used as evidence, and shall not be admissible as such, in the Action or any other civil action or other proceeding; and

(f) with the exception of Paragraphs 6-8, 11, 91, 99(a)-(e) above and Paragraphs 108-110 below, this Class Settlement Agreement including all its releases and covenants not to sue shall be null and void, and of no force and effect, and the Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants shall revert to their positions before the execution of this Class Settlement

Agreement, including with respect to the appropriateness of class certification, as if this Class Settlement Agreement had not been reached or executed.

100. The Court will retain continuing jurisdiction over the Class Plaintiffs, the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, the members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and the Defendants to implement, administer, consummate, and enforce this Class Settlement Agreement and the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment.

101. The Defendants and the Class Plaintiffs agree, and the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class will be deemed to have agreed, to submit irrevocably to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York for the resolution of any matter covered by this Class Settlement Agreement, the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment, or the applicability of this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment.

102. All applications to the Court with respect to any aspect of this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment shall be presented to and be determined by United States District Judge John Gleeson for resolution as a matter within the scope of MDL 1720, or, if he is not available, any other District Court Judge designated by the Court. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby agreed that any suit, action, proceeding, or dispute of a Class Plaintiff or member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, in which the provisions of this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment are asserted as a ground for a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim or cause of action, or are otherwise raised as an objection, constitutes a suit, action, proceeding, or dispute arising out of or relating to this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment.

103. In the event that the provisions of this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment are asserted by any Defendant or Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party as a ground for a defense, in whole or in part, to any claim or cause of action, or are otherwise raised as an objection in any other suit, action, or proceeding by a Class Plaintiff or member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, it is hereby agreed that the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties shall be entitled to an immediate stay of that suit, action, or proceeding until after the Court has entered an order or judgment determining any issues relating to the defense or objections based on such provisions, and no further judicial review of such order or judgment is possible.

104. Without expanding or limiting the release it provides herein, each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Releasing Party shall be deemed to have agreed that this Class Settlement Agreement fully addresses and redresses any and all antitrust or other competitive issues presented by the Visa Defendants’ and the MasterCard Defendants’ respective payment networks in the United States, and the Bank Defendants’ participation in those respective payment networks, including any reorganization, restructuring, initial or other public offering, or other corporate structuring of any Visa Defendant or MasterCard Defendant.

105. The Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, Class Plaintiffs’ other counsel who have participated in any settlement conferences before the Court for a Class Plaintiff that executes this Class Settlement Agreement, Defendants, and counsel for the Defendants, agree that they:

(a) Shall not in any way encourage, promote, or solicit any person, business, or entity within the definition of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, or their counsel, to request exclusion from the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, to object to this Class Settlement Agreement, or to seek any relief inconsistent with this Class Settlement Agreement.

(b) Shall not in any way encourage, promote, or solicit any person, business, or entity within the definition of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, or their counsel, to object to this Class Settlement Agreement or to seek any relief inconsistent with this Class Settlement Agreement.

(c) Shall not in any way encourage, promote, or solicit any person, business, or entity within the definition of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class or the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, or their counsel, to facilitate, induce, or cause the non-fulfillment of a condition, or the occurrence of an event, that could result in the termination of this Class Settlement Agreement.

106. The Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and the Defendants shall undertake reasonable efforts to timely obtain any required approvals or consents to execute and proceed with this Class Settlement Agreement.

107. The Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and the Defendants shall execute all documents and perform any additional acts reasonably necessary and proper to effectuate the terms of this Class Settlement Agreement.

108. The terms and provisions of the Fourth Amended Protective Order, filed on October 29, 2009, and approved by the Court on October 30, 2009, shall survive and continue in effect through and after any final adjudication of the Class Actions.

109. Each of the Defendants specifically denies any and all liability in this Action. It is expressly understood and agreed that, by entering into this Class Settlement Agreement, each Defendant, each Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party, and each Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party is not admitting any liability or wrongdoing whatsoever to the Class Plaintiffs, any member of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, any member of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, or any other person or entity, and is not admitting the truth of any

allegations or circumstances, nor is any Defendant, Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party, or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party waiving any defense.

110. This Class Settlement Agreement, and all negotiations, documents, and discussions associated with it, shall be without prejudice to the rights, positions, or privileges of any Class Plaintiff or Defendant or other Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party (except as expressly provided for in this Class Settlement Agreement), and shall not be construed as, or deemed to be, an admission or evidence on the part of any Defendant or other Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Party or Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Party of any violation of any statute, regulation, law, rule, or principle of common law or equity, or of any liability or wrongdoing, or of the truth or merit of any allegations or claims in this Action, and shall not be discoverable, used, offered, or accepted, directly or indirectly, as evidence of such in this Action or any other action, litigation, arbitration, or other proceeding, and shall have no precedential value; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude use of this Class Settlement Agreement in any proceeding to enforce this Class Settlement Agreement or the Class Settlement Order and Final Judgment.

111. Nothing in this Class Settlement Agreement is intended to waive any right to assert that any information or material is protected from discovery by reason of any individual or common interest privilege, attorney-client privilege, work product protection, or other privilege, protection, or immunity, or is intended to waive any right to contest any such claim of privilege, protection, or immunity.

112. This Class Settlement Agreement constitutes the entire, complete, and integrated agreement between and among the Class Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and the Defendants with

respect to the settlement of the Class Actions. All of the Appendices to this Class Settlement Agreement are material and integral parts of it and are incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

113. The terms of this Class Settlement Agreement are not severable, but are interdependent and have been agreed to only as a whole by the Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and the Defendants.

114. This Class Settlement Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements, and is not subject to any condition not provided for in this Class Settlement Agreement. In entering into and executing this Class Settlement Agreement, the Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants warrant that they are acting upon their respective independent judgments and upon the advice of their respective counsel, and not in reliance upon any warranty or representation, express or implied, of any nature or kind by any other person or entity, other than the warranties and representations expressly made in this Class Settlement Agreement.

115. This Class Settlement Agreement shall be governed, construed, enforced, and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws principles.

116. This Class Settlement Agreement may not be modified or amended except (a) by a writing signed by the Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants or their respective counsel and approved by the Court, or (b) by motion to the Court by a Class Plaintiff or Defendant based on changed circumstances that would make continued application of Paragraphs 42 or 55 above inequitable.

117. This Class Settlement Agreement or any portion thereof shall not be construed more strictly against any party to it merely because it may have been prepared by counsel for one of them, it being recognized that because of the arm’s-length negotiations resulting in this Class

Settlement Agreement, all parties to this Class Settlement Agreement have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of it.

118. All headings used in this Class Settlement Agreement are for reference and convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Class Settlement Agreement.

119. The waiver by any Class Plaintiff or Defendant of any breach of this Class Settlement Agreement shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of any other breach of this Class Settlement Agreement, whether prior, subsequent, or contemporaneous.

120. This Class Settlement Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Class Plaintiffs, the members of the Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class, the members of the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class, and the Defendants. The Rule 23(b)(3) Settlement Class Released Parties and the Rule 23(b)(2) Settlement Class Released Parties other than the Defendants are third party beneficiaries of this Class Settlement Agreement and are authorized to enforce the provisions of this Class Settlement Agreement, including without limitation the release and covenant not to sue provisions in Paragraphs 31-38 and Paragraphs 66-74 above, the continuing jurisdiction provisions in Paragraphs 100-103 above, and such other provisions of this Class Plaintiffs’ Settlement Agreement as are applicable to them.

121. Any notice or materials to be provided to the Class Plaintiffs pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement shall be sent to Class Counsel, and any notice or materials to be provided to the Defendants pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement shall be sent to their respective counsel in MDL 1720, whose names and contact information are set forth in Appendix H hereto. Any notice or materials to be submitted to the Court pursuant to this Class Settlement Agreement shall also be filed in MDL 1720 through the Electronic Court Filing (ECF) system of the Court.

122. Each of the undersigned representatives of each Class Plaintiff and each Defendant represents that it is fully authorized to enter into, and to execute, this Class Settlement Agreement on behalf of that Class Plaintiff or Defendant. Each of the Class Plaintiffs and the Defendants agrees that, in return for the agreements in this Class Settlement Agreement, it is receiving good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof is hereby acknowledged.

123. This Class Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Class Settlement Agreement shall become effective only when executed by all of the Class Plaintiffs, Class Counsel, and the Defendants, and approved by the requisite vote of the members of Visa U.S.A. Inc. entitled to vote thereon.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the signatories below have read and understood this Class Settlement Agreement, have executed it, represent that the undersigned are authorized to execute this Class Settlement Agreement on behalf of their respectively represented parties, have agreed to be bound by its terms, and have duly executed this Class Settlement Agreement.
