AND JUDGMENT SHARING AGREEMENT

With respect to the MasterCard Settlement and Judgment Sharing Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of February 7, 2011, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the undersigned parties agree as of the Amendment Effective Date to amend the Agreement as follows:

1.
Each term defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning when used herein.

2.
In the event of a Settlement in an Opt-Out Action in which the settling Signatory or Signatories provide no Settlement consideration other than (a) a Monetary Portion or (b) modification of rules as required by any of the terms of Paragraphs 53-65 of the Definitive Class Settlement Agreement in MDL 1720 subject, however, to the terms of the Definitive Class Settlement Agreement and any modifications thereto, that Settlement shall be treated under the Agreement as though it were a Settlement in an Individual Plaintiff Action, notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Agreement.

3.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Partial Settlement in an Opt-Out Action in which the settling Signatory or Signatories provide no Settlement consideration other than (a) a Monetary Portion or (b) modification of rules as required by any of the terms of Paragraphs 53-65 of the Definitive Class Settlement Agreement in MDL 1720 subject, however, to the terms of the Definitive Class Settlement Agreement and any modifications thereto, that Partial Settlement shall be treated under the Agreement as though it were a Partial Settlement in an Individual Plaintiff Action, notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Agreement.

4.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Agreement, a Settlement in an Opt-Out Action that constitutes a Joint Settlement Agreement subject to Paragraph 2.a of the Omnibus Agreement shall be considered a Settlement of All Claims for purposes of Paragraph 3.a of the Agreement.

5.
This Amendment to the Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument.

6.
This Amendment to the Agreement shall be effective as of the date on which (a) all entities listed on the signature pages hereto have executed it and (b) all entities listed on the signature pages thereto have executed the Amendment to Omnibus Agreement Regarding Interchange Litigation Judgment Sharing and Settlement Sharing (the “Amendment Effective Date”).

7.
Each of the undersigned individuals signs on behalf of, and represents and warrants that he or she has the authority and authorization to sign on behalf of and bind, the corporations, banks, companies, or entities identified immediately above his or her signature, and upon the Amendment Effective Date this instrument shall be a valid and binding obligation of each such entity.
