For the sake of clarity, the Derivatives Steering Committee shall in no event prevent LCH from offering clearing services to other Trading Facilities for Derivatives and/or other

Financial Instruments and, should LCH offer clearing services for Derivatives and/or other Financial Instruments negotiated on other Trading Facilities in the future, the Derivatives Steering Committee will have no powers to take decisions in relation to the services offered to such other Trading Facility by LCH unless they affect the Services or matters related to the Services.

For the avoidance of doubt the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will in no circumstances have the power to prevent LCH.Clearnet SA from complying with any of its obligations in respect of EMIR or any other Regulatory Requirement.

The Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee shall agree and acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent LCH.Clearnet SA from doing, or refraining from doing, anything in accordance with any formal direction, request or binding recommendation given to it by the AMF, BdF, ACP, Bank of England, (or any successor competent public authorities) or any other regulatory or governmental body having jurisdiction over its activities.

The Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee shall not take any decision or issue any proposal on the operation of the default management process and arrangements with respect to the default fund. Prior to making any such material change to the method for providing Services, LCH.Clearnet SA will engage in a review of such changes with the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee and participate in a joint dialogue with the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee on the opportunity and the timing for such changes. When the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee and LCH.Clearnet SA disagree on the opportunity of such changes, or on the best way to implement such changes, the Parties should refer the matter to the Executive Escalation Meeting which shall give its opinion on such change and the method for implementing such changes.

Detailed provisions on the composition, the responsibilities, the meetings of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will be included in the terms of reference of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee which should be agreed between the Parties along the lines described below.

The membership of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will be as follows:

Where an individual cannot attend he or she may nominate a suitable proxy who will attend and have full powers to speak and vote on his or her behalf. A Party may change the identity of its representatives at any time by prior written notice to the others.

When considered relevant by the members of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, each Party shall use its reasonable endeavours to procure that, to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party, an appropriate representative of any sub‑contractor or technical experts shall attend such meetings.

Meetings of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee should take place regularly and at least every [***]. The meetings will be held to discuss the day‑to‑day operational issues arising out of the provision of the Services and to take decisions or recommendations in relation to the Steering Committee Category A Matters, Steering Committee Category B Matters, Steering Committee Category C Matters, Steering Committee Category D Matters.

The chairman of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, who is appointed by all three Euronext Market Undertakings’ representatives, shall arrange for the meetings to be minuted as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt, any decisions or items within the minutes of meetings which may be stated or implied to be variations of this Agreement will not vary this Agreement. Decisions of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee shall be made observing principles of due process and administrative fairness.

All conclusions taken by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will be taken by a [***] vote [***], save in the event of [***].

Where "Reserved Matters" are conclusions or decisions of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee to the extent such decision would, in LCH.Clearnet SA’s reasonable opinion which is acceptable to the Euronext Market Undertakings, fall within one of the following matters:

The role of the Executive Escalation Meeting is to act as an escalation point for the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee and to ensure generally that strategic as well as operational issues are being raised and addressed between the Parties.

Following any decision or recommendation taken by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, any of the Parties may send a request to the other Parties asking for the escalation of any such decision or recommendation to the Executive Escalation Meeting and the Executive Escalation Meeting should seek to find resolutions in good faith and considering the best interests of the impacted Euronext Market as well as all relevant Regulatory Requirements.

The Executive Escalation Meeting will meet and discuss how and when a specific decision or a recommendation made at the level of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee is to be implemented and may ask the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee to reconsider the decision or recommendation in question in light of constraints or difficulties linked to the implementation or new facts discussed in the Executive Escalation Meeting.

The Euronext Market Undertakings (acting together) and LCH.Clearnet SA shall each designate [***] to participate at the Executive Escalation Meeting. Where an individual cannot attend he may nominate a suitable proxy who will attend and have full powers to speak and vote on his behalf.

LCH.Clearnet SA undertakes to establish and maintain a committee called the Derivatives Users Group which will have an advisory role within its scope of powers, in compliance with Regulatory Requirements, and shall be consulted by LCH.Clearnet SA and / or by LCH.Clearnet Group Limited on the proper, safe and efficient management of the Derivatives Common Services on IT developments, levels of services for the Derivatives Common Services, the opportunity of the development of new common projects by Trading Facilities, and communication with Clearing Members in relation to the Derivatives Common Services. The Derivatives Users Group shall meet (such meeting may take place by teleconference) on a [***] basis or when a member of the Derivatives Users Group requires that such a meeting take place by sending a request to the other members of the Derivatives Users Group in order to decide on a matter within its scope.

On the Commencement Date, the Derivatives Users Group shall be composed of the same members as the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, of the Clearing Members which use the Derivatives Common Services and of all other stakeholders who have the right to elect members in the Derivatives Users Group pursuant to the terms of reference of the Derivatives Users Group which will implement the provisions described in this Article 5.5 of this Agreement. If and when relevant, LCH.Clearnet SA shall use its best endeavours to obtain the approval of the Trading Facilities (non-Euronext Markets) which use the Derivatives Common Services to become members of the Derivatives Users Group..

LCH.Clearnet SA shall negotiate with the Clearing Members which use the Derivatives Common Services and, if and when relevant with the other Trading Facilities, in order to involve them in the Derivatives Users Group and to agree on the terms of reference of such Derivatives Users Group and the conditions described below.

The members of the Derivatives Users Group may decide to invite, from time to time, Trading Members, other Trading Facilities, representatives of Professional Organizations and of the Competent Public Authorities to attend a meeting of the Derivatives Users Group.

Members of the Derivatives Users Group will not vote on any recommendation, or shall not receive any information, where a conflict of interests exists. Decisions of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee shall be made observing principles of due process and administrative fairness.

LCH.Clearnet SA will decide on the resources or personnel necessary in the provision of the Services.

All costs and compensation linked to the resources or personnel necessary for the provision of Services will be paid by LCH.Clearnet SA.

LCH.Clearnet SA shall be the ultimate decision maker with respect to the removal or the appointment of any Key Person together with associated costs, including remuneration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, LCH.Clearnet SA shall, before removing or appointing any person dedicated to a Key Function ("Key Person"):

If considered necessary by the Euronext Market Undertakings, they may decide that some additional resources (Euronext Product Development Resources) are required to assist on a temporary basis the internal teams of LCH.Clearnet SA on specific product development for the Euronext Market Undertakings (which cannot be any tasks relating to the day-to-day operations of the Services). In this case, [***]:

LCH.Clearnet SA acknowledges that, since availability of the Services is critical to the Euronext Market Undertakings’ business, the Derivatives Clearing Infrastructure shall be reliable and provide sufficient operational performance to render the Services. Moreover, LCH.Clearnet SA agrees that, in addition to the conditions set out in the Derivatives Service Level Annex specifying the expected service levels for recurring operations and supporting business processes, it must ensure that its general Derivatives Clearing Infrastructure operations delivery conform to certain service criteria, expressed in terms of:

It is understood between the Parties that it is a prerequisite in order for LCH.Clearnet SA as a Central Counterparty which provides Clearing Services based on the Data provided by the Euronext Market Undertakings, to be able to meet the service levels set out in the Derivatives Service Level Annex that the up-stream IT environment and the Transaction Data provided by the Euronext Market Undertakings be reliable. Where the Euronext Market Undertakings provide LCH.Clearnet SA with the Data as input to perform the Bilateral Services, this Data therefore needs to be available and reliable and the Euronext Market Undertakings shall comply with the provisions of Article 15 of this Agreement in order to allow LCH.Clearnet SA to perform its Bilateral Services.

As part of its general obligation to conform to the highest standards for the provision of its Services, LCH.Clearnet SA agrees that it will use its best endeavours to ensure the Derivatives Clearing Infrastructure interface remains compatible with supported versions of third party operating systems, databases, software and network protocols where applicable.

The Parties agree to adopt best industry practices and to comply with Good Practices as well as industry standards in order to ensure adequate processes and procedures are used in the delivery of their respective obligations hereunder.

The Parties shall conduct periodic reviews of the provision of the Services in order to ensure inter alia that the Parties continue to comply with their obligations under this Agreement. Following any such review, either Party may request changes in any of the Services to reflect the change in business requirements of either Party and / or advancements in technology.

The assessment of the level of the Bilateral Services provided by LCH.Clearnet SA is based on appraisal of a reporting, which is submitted on a [***] basis by LCH.Clearnet SA. The details and content of the Service Level Report as well as participants to the [***] reporting meeting is set out in the Derivatives Service Level Annex.

The Parties acknowledge and agree on the importance of effective governance encompassing effective day-to-day relationship management and Services management.

of the day to day relationship management. The Relationship Manager designated by each Party shall be a member of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee.

If a Relationship Manager is unavailable or if the Relationship Manager has been changed either by the Euronext Market Undertakings or LCH.Clearnet SA, the relevant Parties shall notify the other as far in advance as possible and shall use its reasonable efforts to appoint a replacement as soon as reasonably possible. The Relationship Manager shall have sufficient seniority and expertise to monitor the process of the Bilateral Services and shall ensure that the Committee meetings are held and recorded with appropriate supporting documents. The Parties shall within a reasonable time following the Commencement Date, by exchange of letters, notify the other Parties of the name of the person appointed as Relationship Manager on each side (by LCH.Clearnet SA and by the Euronext Market Undertakings). The same process will apply should one side (LCH.Clearnet SA or the Euronext Market Undertakings) decide to appoint a new Relationship Manager.

In addition to the Risk Committee in which [***] pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and which is governed by its terms of reference, the Parties agree to establish and maintain a number of Committees, where appropriate, to assist with the management of the relationship, operation of, and changes to the Services.

Further details about each Committees’ specific roles, operating modes, and the interactions they maintain between one another can be found in Annex 2 of this Agreement and in Article 8.4 of this Agreement.

If the Operational Committee or Programme Steering Committee (first level management) fail to reach a common agreement (hereafter the "Disagreement"), either Party may decide to refer the Disagreement, at its discretion, to the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee (or if the members are not available to the authorised delegates of the members of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee) (second level management). The second level management shall take a decision within [***] of the referral. If the matter is considered as an urgent matter by one of the Parties, the delay shall be reduced to [***]. If the second level management fails to reach an agreement within the timeframe mentioned above, or that either Party requests it, the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will ask in writing the escalation of the Disagreement to the Executive Escalation Meeting (executive management level). The executive management level will discuss the matter and should reach an agreement on the matter [***]. If the matter is considered as an urgent matter by one of the Parties, the delay shall be reduced to [***].

The Parties shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Parties, after no more than [***] starting from the date on which the Disagreement was referred to the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee ensure that the executive management level considers and settles the Disagreement.

LCH.Clearnet SA shall at all times maintain and keep for the duration of this Agreement and thereafter for the longer of the [***], complete and accurate records of (and adequate supporting documents and a complete audit trail for) information which is in LCH.Clearnet SA’s possession or control relating to the technical performance of the Services, the monitoring activities performed as part of the Services and the surveillance activities performed as part of the Services.

Subject to any applicable Regulatory Requirements, one of the Parties may request the performance of an audit of the Services.

All costs (including auditor’s fees) arising in connection with any audit shall be borne by the Party requesting the audit.

The auditors and the Parties shall use their best efforts to minimise any disruption to the operations of LCH.Clearnet SA and LCH Affiliates and to the performance of the Services caused by an audit.

Following the audit and in light of the conclusions and / or recommendations made by the auditors in their reports, the Parties may (i) request changes to any of the Bilateral Services, or (ii) suggest enhancements to the Clearing Services and, as a consequence, (iii) request amendments to any provisions of the Derivatives Service Level Annex or of this Agreement to take into account conclusions and / or recommendations made by the auditors.

The PPSI and its associated Project budget plan are used as a basis for the launch of Projects (e.g., to adjust Service Levels or implement new services regarding the Derivatives Clearing Infrastructure or IT systems interoperating with the Derivatives Clearing Infrastructure) and the monitoring of the portfolio of Projects.

For each accounting period, and in accordance with their respective internal budget processes for the upcoming accounting period, LCH.Clearnet SA and the Euronext Market Undertakings will work together to prepare a plan for product and service initiatives ("PPSI"), based notably on the outlook on regulatory developments, market trends and volume estimates, for discussion and approval by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee.

It is understood between the Parties that some initiatives will be developed independently by LCH.Clearnet SA and / or LCH.Clearnet Group Limited for inter alia the following purposes: (a) the fulfilment of Regulatory Requirements, (b) the provision of clearing services to other Trading Facilities and / or Clearing Members; and (c) the improvement of efficiency of processes and infrastructure. These initiatives may, where appropriate, be conducted without the involvement of the Euronext Market Undertakings, but LCH Group will give prior information to the Programme Steering Committee and the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee respectively, about such initiatives in a timely manner before the launch of such initiatives, especially where common interfaces are impacted.

If, in the opinion of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, such initiatives would have a demonstrably material impact on the Clearing Members or the Euronext Market Undertakings, [***].

The Euronext Market Undertakings may, separately or in common, submit a request to the Programme Steering Committee for consideration by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee and inclusion in the PPSI. Based on this request the Parties will jointly determine and discuss (i) the opportunity of the development of such a Project, (ii) the contemplated costs and financing of such Project, (iii) the resources which should be dedicated by

LCH.Clearnet SA and whether any Euronext Product Development Resources would be needed, and, when relevant, [***].

The Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will discuss the opportunity to include the request into the PPSI and may trigger the initiation of a Project pursuant to the Derivatives Service Level Annex by requesting a high level feasibility study.

On the basis of the outcome of the High Feasibility Study, the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will decide on whether a Euronext Project will be launched and give its final decision in accordance with the Derivatives Service Level Annex.

The Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee will take all decisions relating to communication with the Members on the Euronext Project and will decide on the process and its timeline in order for the Members to be able to understand and be part of it. The Euronext Market Undertakings will be responsible for the communication with Trading Members on the Euronext Project whilst LCH.Clearnet SA will implement the decisions taken by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee in order to inform and update the Clearing Members.

LCH.Clearnet SA acknowledges and agrees that Transaction Data are the property of the Euronext Market Undertakings, and undertakes that it will use the Transaction Data only for the purposes of providing the Clearing Services and that it will not disclose any Transaction Data to any person without the Euronext Market Undertakings’ prior written approval except in accordance with Article 17 of this Agreement which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall apply to Transaction Data. The Euronext Market Undertakings grant LCH.Clearnet SA a [***] non-transferable licence to use and copy Data for the purposes of providing the Clearing

Services unless, if relevant, in the future, such Data have been originated or created by third parties.

The Euronext Market Undertakings hereby permit LCH.Clearnet SA during the term of this Agreement to use the Transaction Data for the purposes of:

Each Party shall indemnify the other Party against any claims raised by third parties in respect of any infringement of third party intellectual property rights, subject to the fact that the Party against whom any proceedings are brought has promptly notified the other Party in writing of the notice of the claim, proceedings for infringement or the announcement of such proceedings. The Party against whom any proceedings are brought provides the other Party with all information, documents, and reasonable assistance related to such claims.

For all matters linked to Corporate Action Data and for the duration of this Agreement, LCH.Clearnet SA shall receive the information directly from the Euronext Market Undertakings. LCH.Clearnet SA shall follow the Corporate Actions published by the Euronext Market Undertakings.

In the event of a discrepancy between the information published by the Euronext Market Undertaking or by any third party, LCH.Clearnet SA shall follow the information published by the Euronext Market Undertakings and, where necessary, the Euronext Market Undertakings shall discuss with LCH.Clearnet SA and, where relevant, with the Settlement Systems to solve the issue in the most efficient manner in order to prevent any undue disruption of the Services.

For all matters linked to Corporate Actions, the Parties commit to cooperate on a best effort basis in accordance with good industry practice to:

Each Party shall store data (including Transaction Data and Referential Data) in a manner and for the length of time required by applicable Regulatory Requirements. Each Party shall keep the other Parties informed of the obligations on each part in this respect.

In respect of any Cleared Financial Instrument, each Party undertakes to record the relevant information linked to a Cleared Financial Instrument so as to enable the other Parties to establish a full audit trail of all such Cleared Financial Instruments, including details of each Cleared Financial Instruments, the date and time it was entered into, the date and time it was cleared and details of persons who initially submitted each such Cleared Financial Instruments for registration by that Party.

The Parties undertake to respond to any request from any other Party for information of the type referred to in this Article where it is reasonably satisfied that the request is made for prudential or regulatory reasons (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to assist with the provision of any services to a competing market infrastructure of a Euronext Market Undertaking); provided that such Party may not use the information provided for any other purpose.

Any records which are required to be maintained under this Article must be in computerised or other electronic form, and shall be maintained for a period of at least ten (10) years or such other longer period as may be required by Applicable Laws or otherwise as the Parties may agree.

Following an Early Termination Event pursuant to the provisions set out in Article 16.2 of this Agreement or an extension of the duration of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions set out in Article 16.4 of this Agreement, the termination of this Agreement as between LCH.Clearnet SA and any single Euronext Market Undertaking shall not be equivalent to the termination of this Agreement with all the Euronext Market Undertakings.

This Agreement shall terminate on December 31, 2018 if one of the Parties serves a notice of termination to the others confirming the termination by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt no later than twelve (12) months before the Initial Termination Date and unless this Agreement is terminated earlier following an Early Termination Event or if the duration is extended pursuant to the provisions set out in Article 16.4 of this Agreement.

The occurrence with respect to one of the Parties of any of the following events shall constitute an Early Termination Event:

de Commerce). For the sake of clarity, [***]. In this case, LCH will be the "Affected Parties" and the Euronext Market Undertakings will be the "Non-Affected Parties";

(viii).LCH.Clearnet SA is forced to perform LCH.Clearnet SA’s winding down plan over the timeframe determined by Competent Public Authorities pursuant to Article 16, Paragraph 3, of EMIR. LCH will be the "Affected Parties" and the Euronext Market Undertakings will be the "Non-Affected Parties";

Any Euronext Market Undertaking individually shall, at any time, be entitled to terminate its participation in this Agreement upon not less than 12 months prior written notice to LCH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such individual termination will not trigger the termination of this Agreement.

For the Early Termination Event (ix) only, following the occurrence of the Early Termination Event (ix) and the receipt by the Euronext Market Undertakings of a notice sent by LCH and informing the Euronext Market Undertakings of the occurrence of such service closure, the Parties Entitled to Terminate (as defined in Article 16.3 of this Agreement) will have the right to terminate only after the following process is implemented:

until the end of this service closure period (LCH shall inform the Euronext Market Undertakings as soon as possible following the end of this service closure); and

Upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Event, the Parties Entitled to Terminate will have the right to terminate this Agreement by serving written notice to the Affected Party or Affected Parties or, when relevant, to the other Parties. For the sake of clarity, it is understood that, in any case, a Party cannot give a notice of Early Termination Event if the Affected Party is an Affiliate of the Parties Entitled to Terminate.

The notice of termination shall specify the applicable Early Termination Event and request the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the termination procedure set out in Article 16.5 of this Agreement and the early termination date (which shall be no later than 12 months following the Early Termination Event).

An Affected Party will on demand indemnify and hold harmless the other Parties for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket money expenses, including legal fees, execution fees and stamp tax incurred by such Parties by reason of the enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or by reason of the early termination of this Agreement.

The rights and obligations of the Euronext Market Undertakings pertaining to (i) the governance of LCH.Clearnet SA (pursuant to Article 5 of this Agreement), (ii) their representations within the Risk Committee, shall remain valid and binding between the Parties as long as one of the Euronext Clearing Agreements remains in force between the Parties.

Where the "Parties Entitled to Terminate" are:

At the end of the initial term (on the Initial Termination Date), unless a Party serves a confirmation notice of the termination no later than [***] by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the other Parties, this Agreement shall be subject to an automatic renewal.

Following this extension, this Agreement shall remain in force unless and until this Agreement is terminated by any Party serving notice of termination to the other Parties by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, provided that such notice of termination must be served no later than [***] unless this Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to Article 16.1 of this Agreement.

The termination of this Agreement shall not release any of the Parties from any other liability that has accrued at the time of termination and does not affect in any way the survival of any other right, duty or obligation of the Parties, which is expressly stated elsewhere in this Agreement to survive termination.

The Parties shall cooperate in good faith and in their common interests to meet the deadline of the termination date, or, if the termination occurs following an early termination pursuant to Article 16.1 or Article 23 of this Agreement, of the Early Termination Date and to organise the most efficient and secure transfer of the Open Positions and / or the settlement of the Open Positions on the termination date or, if the termination occurs following an early termination pursuant to Article 16.1 of this Agreement, as soon as possible following the Early Termination Date (a delay which shall not be greater than [***] unless otherwise agreed between the Parties).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that despite their cooperation and their will to meet the termination date, it is not possible or it is unlikely to be possible, for any reason, to settle the Open Positions or to transfer all such Open Positions to the successor Central Counterparty before the termination date, the Euronext Market Undertakings may request that the duration of this Agreement be further extended in respect of such remaining Open Positions for a minimum period of [***] with a minimum advance notice period of [***], to organize the settlement of the Open Positions or the migration of such Open Positions under the same conditions and pursuant to the same terms (the "Additional Extension Period").

[***]

During such period, the Parties commit and agree to use their reasonable endeavours:

- to cooperate in good faith and in their common interests to establish an exit plan with a timetable for the transfer and / or settlement of the Open Positions in order to meet the termination date or to proceed as soon as possible following the termination date or the early termination date;

- to ensure an orderly, efficient and safe transfer of the open positions to the successor Central Counterparty designated by the Euronext Market Undertakings in respect of each Class of Cleared Financial Instruments;

- to avoid any disruption of Services in respect of any such Cleared Financial Instruments for the Euronext Market Undertakings and all Members;

- if relevant, to exchange any existing and available documentation and information that is deemed necessary by each Party, acting in a reasonable manner, for the purposes of enabling the successor Central Counterparty to take over the clearing of the Financial Instruments, provided that LCH.Clearnet SA may license intellectual property, know-how and information to the Euronext Market Undertakings or the successor Central Counterparty, on terms to be agreed between the Parties where such intellectual property, know-how or system information is owned by LCH.Clearnet SA;

- to appoint and dedicate to the above objectives a number of officers and personnel (either internal or external to each Party) that are, in the reasonable opinion of LCH and the Euronext Market Undertakings, necessary to handle the tasks identified and to ensure a mutually satisfactory migration to the successor Central Counterparty and / or the settlement of the Open Positions; and

- to cooperate to provide Members with all the necessary information on the migration and / or settlement processes, its timeline, the collateral management, the risk policies of the respective Central Counterparties in order for them to be able to give their consents to such transfer.

In the event of a transfer of the Open Positions to a successor Central Counterparty, LCH.Clearnet SA will work on a migration plan [***] before the beginning of the migration and will dedicate the necessary resources with the accurate functional and technical skills to assist the Euronext Market Undertakings to assess its needs to complete, in due time and on the Termination Date, the transfer of the clearing activities associated with Cleared Financial Instruments and the Open Interests and to work with the Euronext Market Undertakings on the development of a plan containing the various elements listed at the end of this Paragraph.

At the end of this period, the Euronext Market Undertakings shall send to LCH.Clearnet SA a request for quote with the assistance services to be provided, the timetable, the priorities and the resources identified by the Parties and the migration management plan elaborated by the Parties during this period.

LCH.Clearnet SA undertakes to provide an answer within two weeks from the receipt of the Euronext Market Undertakings’ written request for proposal. In the answer, LCH.Clearnet SA will provide its approval and / or comments on the migration management plan and a total amount for the migration project costs (which shall include a capped amount for legal costs) for implementing such migration management plan.

Within a two-week period from the receipt of the answer from LCH.Clearnet SA, the Parties will further discuss, if necessary, the content of the migration management plan and the total amount for the migration project costs. As soon as the Euronext Market Undertakings give their consent to the final version of the migration management plan

and to the migration project costs (which should be a capped amount), the migration management plan will be shared with Clearing Members and other stakeholders as early as possible.

LCH and the Euronext Market Undertakings agree that they are responsible for their own costs incurred by them for the transfer and / or settlement of the Open Positions, including any expenses in relation to the negotiation, preparation, execution and implementation of such transfer and / or settlement and any costs linked to additional resources necessary for the transfer and / or settlement.

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, all obligations under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the later of the Termination Date and the completion of the migration to the successor Central Counterparty following, when relevant, an additional extension period.

No Party shall take any actions or measures to assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with all or any of its rights and / or obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement or delegate the performance of any of its obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Such approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

If LCH.Clearnet SA proposes to delegate or sub‑contract the performance of any of the Services pursuant to this Agreement (and save that this shall not restrict the ability of the Parties to appoint consultants and other advisors generally in the ordinary course of business), it shall consult with the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee before doing so and may not do so without the prior written consent of Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee. Where consented to, LCH.Clearnet SA shall remain liable for the acts or omissions of such person, even if this person is an LCH Affiliate, as if they were LCH.Clearnet SA’s own acts or omissions, and such person must enter into a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of each of the other Parties.

Save where expressly provided to the contrary under this Agreement, any notice to be given by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be given in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Party giving it and shall be served by delivering it by hand, or sending it by pre-paid recorded delivery, special delivery or registered post (airmail if overseas) to the address or sent by facsimile to the number set out in the Derivatives Service Level Annex of this Agreement and in each case marked for the attention of the relevant Party (or as otherwise notified from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Article 19).

Any notice so served by hand, post or facsimile shall be deemed to have been duly given:

No amendment to this Agreement shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of all the Parties.

Notwithstanding the above, each Party may request a change to any of the Annexes or the Derivatives Service Level Annex through the Relationship Manager. The latter will prepare a new Annex and submit the new version of the Annex to the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee for approval. The Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee is empowered, without the signature of a formal amendment, to decide to approve this modification of the Annex and the Parties agree to be bound by the decision of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, which shall be previously and unanimously validated and must be evidenced in a written document signed by all members of the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee (such document shall contain the content of the new Annex). Once approved by the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee, the new Annex shall replace the previous one.

Unless expressly agreed, no amendment shall constitute a general waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any rights, obligations or liabilities.

Each Party may at any time amend its Rules, provided that each Party shall consult with the others in respect of any proposed amendment to any part of the Rules insofar as they are applicable to the performance of Services under this Agreement owed to the Euronext Market Undertaking or that they may have an impact on the provision of the Services by LCH.Clearnet SA.

Each Party agrees that it will not knowingly maintain or introduce any requirement binding on its Members which is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of any of the other Parties properly and fully to comply with their obligations under this Agreement, unless such amendment is required by the Party’s Competent Public Authority or to fulfil legal or taxation requirements.

If a Party becomes aware that any part of its Rules (Market Rules or Clearing Rules) or procedures is materially inconsistent with any provision of the other Parties’ documentation, it shall notify the other Party and the Parties shall cooperate to make the necessary amendments to remove the inconsistencies.

It is understood between the Parties that each Party may make the changes which are necessary if required to do so to comply with any Regulatory Requirement or any valid requirement of any Competent Public Authority with jurisdiction over it or authority to regulate its business activities.

Market Undertakings will be provided with a reasonable opportunity to review these documents and provide their comments.

In the event of any new law or regulation, or a change in the interpretation of any existing laws or regulations, which would render any of the provisions of this Agreement illegal, in whole or in part, such provision shall (so far as invalid or unenforceable) be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement unless such provision is material. The Parties agree to meet within a reasonable time to discuss any necessary amendments to this Agreement resulting from such developments so as to render such provision legal.

The Parties agree that if there is a conflict between a Party’s obligations under EMIR and / or any applicable laws and regulations and its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall not be held liable for breaching any provision of this Agreement as a result of complying with its obligations under any Regulatory Requirement.

Each Party agrees that (i) it shall promptly answer in good faith any requests from any Competent Public Authority which relate to the Services upon request by any other Party, (ii) it will use its reasonable endeavours to take any action or refrain from taking any action as required by any Competent Public Authority.

The Parties agree that in the hypothesis where a new law or regulation would be enacted, or the interpretation of any existing laws or regulations would change, which would render any of the provisions of this Agreement illegal, in whole or in part, then such provision shall (as far as invalid or unenforceable) be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement unless this provision is of a

material nature. The Parties agree to meet within thirty (30) Business Days in order to discuss any amendments to this Agreement which would be rendered necessary in order to take into account these evolutions and to render such provision legal.

If a Force Majeure Event occurs or is in danger of occurring, the Party affected by this Force Majeure Event (for the purpose of this Paragraph only, the "Affected Party") must promptly notify the other Parties (for the purpose of this Paragraph only, the "Non-Affected Parties") of the cause of the delay or non-performance and the likely duration of the delay or non-performance.

The Affected Party must use reasonable endeavours to limit the effect, delay, non-performance or detrimental consequences for the Non-Affected Parties resulting from these circumstances. Pursuant to the provisions of the Derivatives Service Level Annex, the Parties shall organise in order to be constantly ready to manage effectively the occurrence of any major, sudden and exceptional event affecting concurrently or separately either Party’s ability to conduct effectively its business functions or LCH.Clearnet SA’s ability to perform the Services.

Following the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the Parties shall meet as soon as possible in order to seek to resolve the issue to limit as much as possible the detrimental effects for the Non Affected Party.

No Party shall be liable to the other Parties for any delay or non-performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising from any Force Majeure Event when it has notified the other Party. The Affected Party shall however indemnify the Non-Affected Parties for damages or indemnities that they would have to pay to third parties as a consequence of delay or non-performance.

If performance is not resumed within thirty (30) days after the notice of the Force Majeure Event was sent, the Non Affected Party may terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Affected Party.

The members of the Boards of Directors of LCH.Clearnet SA and of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited and the members of the Risk Committee will be subject to relevant conflicts of interest provisions compliant with EMIR of either (i) the Articles of Association of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited or (ii) the Règlement Intérieur of LCH.Clearnet SA (see, for information only, the relevant conflict of interest provisions contained in the Articles of Association of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited as of the Commencement Date attached as Annex 6 of this Agreement; the same provisions are reflected in the Réglement Intérieur of LCH.Clearnet SA).

A conflict of interest policy on information barriers will be put in place by the Parties in compliance with Article 33 of EMIR to ensure that any sensitive information (including competitively sensitive information) is not communicated and in order to prevent conflict of interests in particular within the Euronext Derivatives Steering Committee.

Unless it is required otherwise by any Regulatory Requirements or by any Competent Public Authority, all communications between the Parties including notices, emergency support contacts, documentation, reports and other written papers, or emails between the Parties are to be drafted in English unless otherwise agreed between the Parties or their employees.

Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a partnership or joint venture between the Parties nor shall anything in this Agreement constitute or be deemed to constitute any Party the agent of any of the other Parties for any purpose.

This Agreement, including the Annexes hereto, sets out the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties in respect of the subject matter of this Agreement.

The Parties shall, in providing each of their obligations under this Agreement, comply with the terms of each Annex, which form part of this Agreement.

Each Party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it is not relying upon any pre-contractual statement, other than the Derivatives Heads of Terms, that is not set out in this Agreement. In relation to the subject-matter of this Agreement, except in case of fraud, no Party shall have any right of action against any other Party arising out of or in connection with any pre-contractual (draft, agreement, undertaking, representation warranty promise, assurance, statement, including the Derivatives Heads of Terms) except to the extent that it is repeated in this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall (as far as invalid or unenforceable) be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement unless this provision is of a material nature.

The Parties shall then use all reasonable endeavours to replace the invalid or unenforceable provisions by a valid and enforceable substitute provision the effect of which is as close as possible to the intended effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

Each of the Parties will procure that any other registrations, filings and submissions, including, if necessary, the filing of this Agreement or of the Derivatives Service Level Annex, required under the laws of any jurisdiction are made to the extent that the provisions of such laws apply to each of them.

Each of the Parties will coordinate and cooperate with one another in providing such information and all reasonable assistance to each other as may be requested in connection with any such registrations, filings and submissions.

No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right or remedy provided by law or pursuant to this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or operate or be construed as a waiver or variation of it or preclude its exercise at any subsequent time and no single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

This Agreement and all non-contractual or other matters or obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, French law.

Any dispute arising from or connected with this Agreement, including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement, or the consequences of its nullity, will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Paris Commercial Court.

23.4.1    any requirement as to the quorum at the meeting at which the matter is considered is met without counting the director in question or any other director interested in the matter under consideration; and

23.4.2    the matter was agreed to without such directors voting or would have been agreed to if such directors’ votes had not been counted.

23.7    A director shall be under no duty to the Company with respect to any information which he obtains or has obtained otherwise than as a director of the Company and in respect of which he owes a duty of confidentiality to another person. In particular the director shall not be in breach of the general duties he owes to the Company by virtue of sections 171 to 177 of the Act if he:

23.7.1    fails to disclose any such information to the directors or to any director or other officer or employee of the Company; or

23.7.2    does not use or apply any such information in performing his duties as a director of the Company.

However, to the extent that his relationship with that other person gives rise to a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest, this Article 23.7 applies only if the existence of that relationship has been authorised by the directors pursuant to Article 23.3 or authorised by the members (subject, in any such case, to any terms upon which such authorisation was given).

23.8    Where the existence of a director’s relationship with another person has been authorised pursuant to Article 23.2, authorised by the directors pursuant to Article 23.3 or authorised by the members and his relationship with that person gives rise to a conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest, the director shall not be in breach of the general duties he owes to the Company by virtue of sections 171 to 177 of the Act if at his discretion or at the request or direction of the directors or any committee of directors he:

23.8.1    absents himself from a meeting of directors or a committee of directors at which any matter relating to the conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest will or may be discussed or from the discussion of any such matter at a meeting or otherwise; or

23.8.2    makes arrangements not to receive documents and information relating to any matter which gives rise to the conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest sent or supplied by or on behalf of the Company or for such documents and information to be received and read by a professional adviser on his behalf, for so long as he reasonably believes such conflict of interest (or possible conflict of interest) subsists.

23.9    The provisions of Articles 23.7 and 23.8 are without prejudice to any equitable principle or rule of law which may excuse the director from:

23.9.1    disclosing information, in circumstances where disclosure would otherwise be required under these Articles; or

23.9.2    attending meetings or discussions or receiving documents and information as referred to in Article 23.8, in circumstances where such attendance or receiving such documents and information would otherwise be required under these Articles.

23.10    A director who is in any way, directly or indirectly, interested in a proposed transaction or arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature and extent of his interest to the other directors before the Company enters into the transaction or arrangement.

23.11    A director who is in any way, directly or indirectly, interested in a transaction or arrangement that has been entered into by the Company shall declare the nature and extent of his interest to the other directors as soon as is reasonably practicable, unless the interest has already been declared under Article 23.10.

23.12    Any declaration required by Article 23.10 may (but need not) be made at a meeting of the directors or by notice in writing in accordance with section 184 of the Act or by general notice in accordance with section 185 of the Act. Any declaration required by Article 23.11 must be made at a meeting of the directors or by notice in writing in accordance with section 184 of the Act or by general notice in accordance with section 185 of the Act.

23.13    If a declaration made under Article 23.10 or 23.11, proves to be, or becomes, inaccurate or incomplete, a further declaration must be made under Article 23.10 or 23.11, as appropriate.

23.14    A director need not declare an interest under this Article 23:

23.14.1    if it cannot reasonably be regarded as likely to give rise to a conflict of interest;

23.14.2    if, or to the extent that, the other directors are already aware of it (and for this purpose the other directors are treated as aware of anything of which they ought reasonably to be aware);

23.14.3    if, or to the extent that, it concerns terms of his service contract that have been or are to be considered by a meeting of the directors or by a committee of the directors appointed for the purpose under these Articles; or

23.14.4    if the director is not aware of his interest or is not aware of the transaction or arrangement in question (and for this purpose a director is treated as being aware of matters of which he ought reasonably to be aware).

23.15    Subject to the provisions of the Act and provided that he has declared the nature and extent of any direct or indirect interest of his in accordance with this Article 23 or where Article 23.14 applies and no declaration of interest is required or where Article 85.2 applies, a director notwithstanding his office:

23.15.1    may be a party to, or otherwise be interested in, any transaction or arrangement with the Company or in which the Company is directly or indirectly interested;

23.15.2    may act by himself or through his firm in a professional capacity for the Company (otherwise than as auditor), and in any such case on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the directors may decide; or

23.15.3    may be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise be interested in, any body corporate in which the Company is directly or indirectly interested.

23.16    A director shall not, by reason of his office, be accountable to the Company for any remuneration or other benefit which he derives from any office or employment or from any transaction or arrangement or from any interest in any body corporate:

23.16.1    the acceptance, entry into or existence of which has been authorised pursuant to Article 23.2, authorised by the directors pursuant to Article 23.3 or authorised by the members (subject, in any such case, to any terms upon which such authorisation was given); or

23.16.2    which he is permitted to hold or enter into pursuant to Article 23.15 or otherwise pursuant to these Articles,

nor shall the receipt of any such remuneration or other benefit constitute a breach of his duty under section 176 of the Act. No transaction or arrangement authorised or permitted pursuant to Article 23.2, 23.3 or 23.15 or otherwise pursuant to these Articles shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any such interest or benefit.

25.    PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS (Article 25 of the Articles of Association of LCH.Clearnet Group Limited)

25.1    Subject to the provisions of these Articles, the directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. A director may, and the Company Secretary at the request of a director shall, call a meeting of the directors. Every director shall receive notice of a meeting, whether or not he is absent from the United Kingdom. Notice of a Board meeting is deemed to be duly given to a director if it is given to him personally or by word of mouth or by electronic form to an address given by him to the Company for that purpose or sent in writing to him at his last known address or other address given by him to the Company for that purpose. A director may waive the requirement that notice be given to him of a meeting of directors or a committee of directors, either prospectively or retrospectively. Questions arising at a meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the Chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

25.2    A director may participate in a meeting of directors or a committee of directors through the medium of conference telephone or similar form of communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting are able to hear and speak to each other throughout the meeting. A person participating in this way is deemed to be present in person at the meeting and is counted in a quorum and entitled to vote. Subject to the Act, all business transacted in this way by the directors or a committee of directors is for the purposes of these Articles deemed to be validly and effectively transacted at a meeting of the directors or of a committee of directors although fewer than two directors are physically present at the same place. The meeting is deemed to take place where the largest group of those participating is assembled or, if there is no such group, where the Chairman of the meeting is at the start of the meeting.

25.3    Subject to Article 25.9, the quorum for the transaction of the business of the directors may be fixed by a resolution of a simple majority of the directors (provided that the quorum must include one Independent Director) and unless so fixed at any number shall be six, including one Independent Director.

25.4    Unless he is unwilling to do so, the Chairman shall preside at every meeting of directors at which he is present. Where there is no director holding that office or if the director holding it is unwilling to preside or is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, the directors present may appoint one of their numbers to be Chairman of the meeting.

25.5    All acts done by a meeting of directors, or of a committee of directors, or by a person acting as a director shall be valid notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was a defect in the appointment of any director or that any of them were disqualified from holding office, or had ceased to hold office, or were not entitled to vote on the matter in question.

25.6    A resolution in writing signed by all the directors entitled to receive notice of a meeting of directors or of a committee of directors shall be as valid and effectual as if it has been passed at a meeting of directors or (as the case may be) a committee of directors duly convened and held and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more directors.

25.7    A director may not attend such part of a meeting of directors or any committee (a "Relevant Meeting") concerning, or vote on any resolution in respect of, a matter with which he has, directly or indirectly, a Conflict of Interest (and any such director is referred to as a "Conflicted Director") without the prior consent of a 75 per cent. Majority of the directors present at the Relevant Meeting (excluding any Conflicted Directors).

25.8    Where there is a question as to the existence of a Conflict of Interest with respect to a director, the matter shall be determined by the Independent Directors prior to the Relevant Meeting taking place in a fair, objective and non-discriminatory manner. If it is impracticable to convene a prior meeting of the Independent Directors, such determination shall be made by the Independent Directors present at the Relevant Meeting acting by simple majority, and if no majority decision can be reached, the Chairman shall have the casting vote. The decision of the Independent Directors, or the Independent Directors present at the Relevant Meeting (as the case may be) shall be final and binding and not open to challenge by any director or shareholder.

25.9    A Conflicted Director shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the quorum present for a meeting of the Board or a committee (or the relevant part of such meeting) at which the issue relating to the conflict is to be considered and shall be deducted from the quorum requirements at a meeting when any such resolution is under consideration.

25.10    A Conflicted Director shall not be entitled to receive from the Company any information relating to the subject matter of the conflict. The provisions of Article 25.7 do not prejudice the obligation on a Conflicted Director to disclose his interest in accordance with section 177 of the Act.
