Any Equity Consideration Amount issued in consideration for 102 Shares shall be issued as a share award under the Parent Equity Plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO and deposited with the 102 Trustee all in accordance with and subject to obtaining the 102 Israeli Tax Ruling or the Interim 102 Israeli Tax Ruling. The Parties agree that, for the purposes of ensuring the Plan of Merger and Articles of Merger are in customary form and as simple as possible for clearance by the Registrar, the parties will work in good faith and use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Plan of Merger filed at Closing contains a clear statement of exactly what portion of the Aggregate Consideration each Ordinary Share (including Ordinary A Shares which will be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to, and conditional upon, the Effective Time in accordance with the Memorandum of Association) shall be converted to at Closing (provided that the Plan of Merger shall also note each share shall be entitled to its applicable portion of any Post-Closing Payments). It is acknowledged that, as the holders of the Ordinary A Shares will receive a greater amount by converting Ordinary A Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time than they would pursuant to Clause 11(a)(ii) of the Memorandum of Association, then (without prejudice to any amounts payable pursuant to Clause 11(a)(i) of the Memorandum of Association, which shall be deemed to become due and payable immediately prior to conversion) the Ordinary A Shares shall be automatically converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to, and conditional upon, the Effective Time pursuant to Clause 11(a)(iv) of the Memorandum.

(b) Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, each ordinary share with a par value of US$0.01 each of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Share and will constitute the only outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(i) The Company has exercised and will exercise its powers under the Equity Plans so as to ensure Company Options are treated in the manner set out in this clause.

(ii) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Vested Company Option shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be exchanged for the contractual right to receive from the Parent Group (without interest), (A) that portion of the Aggregate Consideration (as adjusted herein) to which such Vested Option is entitled pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall; and (B) that portion of Post-Closing Payments to which such Vested Option is entitled pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall, in each case less applicable withholding Tax and shall thereafter cease to represent an option to purchase Ordinary Shares or to have any other rights save for the right to receive the foregoing consideration. It is acknowledged that, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plans, each holder of the Vested Company Options has a contractual right to receive a pro rata portion of the Aggregate Consideration and Post-Closing Payments as if the Vested Company Options had been exercised and Ordinary Shares had been issued, but in all cases less the aggregate exercise price that would have been payable in respect of such issuance. The Company’s contractual obligation to ensure the holders of Vested Company Options receive the consideration set-out above shall be satisfied upon payment of the consideration set-out in this Merger Agreement and the Distribution Waterfall. For the avoidance of doubt, any withholding Tax required with respect to the Company Options, other than 102 Company Options and/or 102 Shares, shall be discharged by the Parent retaining Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A shares of common stock that would otherwise be distributed to such holder with a fair market value on the date of such distribution equal to the amount of withholding Tax required to be remitted with respect to such distribution of the Equity Consideration, and Parent agrees to remit the cash amount of any such withholding Taxes to the relevant Taxing authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the contractual right of the holders of Vested Company Options to receive payment in respect of the Vested Company Options shall be separate to any payment made pursuant to clause 11(a) of the Memorandum of Association. Any Equity Consideration Amount issued in consideration for 102 Company Options shall be issued as a share award under the Parent Equity Plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO and deposited with the 102 Trustee all in accordance with and subject to obtaining the 102 Israeli Tax Ruling or the Interim 102 Israeli Tax Ruling. For the avoidance of doubt, the contractual right of the holders of 102 Company Options shall be separate to any payment made pursuant to clause 11(a) of the Memorandum of Association.

(iii) At the Effective Time, each outstanding Unvested Company Option shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled for no consideration and cease to represent an option.

(d) Treatment of Vested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Vested Company RSU shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be exchanged for the right to receive from the Parent Group (without interest),

(A) that portion of the Aggregate Consideration (as adjusted herein) to which such cancelled Vested Company RSU is entitled pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall; and (B) and that portion of Post-Closing Payments to which such Vested Company RSU is entitled pursuant to the Distribution Waterfall, in each case less applicable withholding Tax and shall thereafter cease to represent an option to purchase Ordinary Shares or to have any other rights save for the right to receive the foregoing consideration. It is acknowledged that, pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s powers under the Equity Plans, the Company has a contractual obligation to ensure the holders of Company RSU’s receive the consideration set-out above, which obligation will be satisfied upon payment of the consideration in accordance with this Merger Agreement and the Distribution Waterfall. For the avoidance of doubt, any withholding Tax required with respect to the Company Share Awards, other than with respect to 102 Shares, shall be accomplished by the Parent retaining Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A shares of common stock that would otherwise be distributed to such holder with a fair market value on the date of such distribution equal to the amount of withholding Tax required to be remitted with respect to such distribution of the Company Share Awards and Parent agrees to remit the cash amount of any such withholding Tax to the relevant Taxing authority. For the avoidance of doubt, the contractual right of the holders of Vested Company RSU’s to receive payment in respect of the Vested RSU’s shall be separate to any payment made pursuant to clause 11(a) of the Memorandum of Association. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Unvested Company Share Award shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled for no consideration and cease to represent an option.

(e) Treatment of Company Warrant. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company Warrant (A) may be exercised by the holder by way of cash payment of the exercise price; or (B) may be exercised by the holder by way of a cashless exercise; or (C) may expire and/or be redeemed for a specified redemption price (in each case on the terms and conditions set-out in the Company Warrant) and that, accordingly, the treatment of the Company Warrant pursuant to this Agreement shall depend on the outcome arising pursuant to its terms, in each case less applicable withholding Tax. The parties agree Exhibit N to this Agreement shall apply to the Company Warrant and its treatment pursuant to this Agreement.

The Aggregate Consideration shall be allocated among the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with this Agreement and the Memorandum of Association (it being noted that holders of Vested Options and Company RSU’s have a contractual right to receive consideration as if they received Ordinary Shares (less the exercise price and any withholdings) and are not entitled to any payment made pursuant to clause 11(a) of the Memorandum of Association), as adjusted in accordance with Section 3.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any deductions and additions to be made pursuant to sections (a) to (e) (inclusive), shall at all times be made without duplication.

(iv) a determination of the Deferred Tax Assets;

(v) the calculation of the Aggregate Consideration resulting therefrom (the “Adjusted Merger Consideration”).

(b) The Parent Group shall cause the Company to make such information and personnel available to the Shareholders’ Representative as may be reasonably requested by the Shareholders’ Representative or its accountants and advisors to review the Closing Date Statement and, if requested by the Shareholders’ Representative, shall provide at reasonable times access to the Persons preparing the Closing Date Statement in order to discuss with them any questions and comments the Shareholders’ Representative may have with respect to such matters.

(c) In the event that the Shareholders’ Representative disputes the calculation of the Adjusted Merger Consideration set forth in the Closing Date Statement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall notify the Parent Group in writing (the “Shareholders’ Representative Objection Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within forty five (45) days after receipt of the Closing Date Statement. In the event of such a dispute, (i) any undisputed amounts shall be considered finally determined and be paid pursuant to Section 3.5(e) or Section 3.5(f), as applicable, and (ii) with respect to any disputed amounts, the Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative shall first use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute among themselves, and if so resolved, the Closing Date Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such resolution and it shall be final and binding upon the parties. If the Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Shareholders’ Representative Objection Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted, as the sole and exclusive method for resolving such disputes, to an independent internationally recognized accounting firm jointly chosen by the Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative, which in the absence of an agreement during such 30-day period shall be Deloitte, an independent internationally recognized accounting firm, or if such accounting firm is not able to so act or is conflicted, such other of the “Big Four” accounting firms upon which Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative shall mutually agree within seven (7) Business Days following the end of such 20-day period, or in the absence of such agreement within seven (7) Business Days of either party’s request following the end of such 20-day period, designated by the then the head of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in the United Kingdom upon the application of either party (the “Independent Accountant”). If such disagreement and the determination of the Adjusted Merger Consideration is submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, then (i) the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent Group shall execute any agreement(s) reasonably required by the Independent Accountant to accept its engagement pursuant to this Section 3.5(c), (ii) the Parent Group, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the computation of the Adjusted Merger Consideration as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request and are available to the Parent Group, the Shareholders’ Representative and the Company (as applicable), (iii) the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent Group shall be afforded the opportunity to present to such Independent Accountant, with a copy to the other parties, any other written material relating to the computation of the Adjusted Merger Consideration, (iv) the Independent Accountant shall review only those items that are in dispute, (v) the Independent Accountant shall not attribute a value to any single disputed amount greater than the greatest amount proposed by the Shareholders’ Representative and/or the Parent Group nor an amount less than the least amount proposed by the Shareholders’ Representative and/or the Parent Group, and (vi) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between the Participating Equity Holders, on the one hand, and the Parent Group, on the other hand, in proportion to the portion of the aggregate amount in dispute that is finally

resolved by the Independent Accountant in a manner adverse to such parties. For example, if the Parent Group’s position is that the adjustment owed is $300, the Shareholders’ Representative’s position is that the adjustment owed is $100 and the Independent Accountant’s finding that the adjustment owed is $250, then the Parent Group shall pay 25% ($300-$250 / $300-$100) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses and the Participating Equity Holders shall pay 75% ($250-$100 / $300-$100) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses. The written decision of the Independent Accountant shall be rendered within no more than thirty (30) days from the date that the matter is referred to the Independent Accountant and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, shall not be subject to dispute or review. Following any such dispute resolution (whether by mutual agreement of the Shareholders’ Representative and the Parent Group or by written decision of the Independent Accountant), the Adjusted Merger Consideration as determined in such dispute resolution shall be final and binding on the Participating Equity Holders and the Parent Group, and shall not be subject to dispute or further review. The Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Participating Equity Holders, will each bear their own costs in connection with disputes relating to the Closing Date Statement. Any payments by or to the Participating Equity Holders under this Section 3.5(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Adjusted Merger Consideration.

(d) Immediately upon the expiration of the forty five (45) day period for giving the Shareholders’ Representative Objection Notice, if no such notice is given, or upon notification by the Shareholders’ Representative to the Parent Group that no such notice will be given, the Parent Group calculations set forth in the Closing Date Statement shall be final and binding on the Participating Equity Holders and the Parent Group and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

(e) In the event that the Estimated Closing Consideration exceeds the Adjusted Merger Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.6(c), as the case may be) by more than $250,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”), then the Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative shall issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release from the Adjustment Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account (i) to the Parent Group, an amount equal to the full amount by which the Closing Consideration exceeds the Adjusted Merger Consideration, and (ii) to the Paying Agent, the remainder of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, for further disbursement to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement. Such joint written instruction shall be given no later than two (2) Business Days after such final determination, and the Escrow Agent shall release such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable accounts within three (3) Business Days thereafter; and

For purposes of clarification, in the event that the Estimated Closing Consideration does not exceed the Adjusted Merger Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5(c), as the case may be) by more than the De Minimis Amount, then no adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.5(e).

(f) In the event that the Adjusted Merger Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5(c), as the case may be), exceeds the Estimated Closing Consideration by more than the De Minimis Amount, then (i) an amount equal to the full amount by which the Adjusted Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Closing Consideration shall be paid by the Parent Group to the Paying Agent no later than seven (7) Business Days after such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Paying Agent for distribution to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement; and (ii) the Parent Group and the Shareholders’ Representative shall issue a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount to the Paying Agent, for further distribution to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement.

For purposes of clarification, in the event that the Adjusted Merger Consideration (as set forth in the Closing Date Statement or as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.5(c), as the case may be) does not exceed the Estimated Closing Consideration by more than the De Minimis Amount, then no adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.5(f).

(g) Illustrative Example. For purposes of illustration only, Exhibit C sets forth example calculations of the adjustments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5(e) and Section 3.5(f).

(h) Visa Shares. Post-Closing and immediately upon release of any Visa Shares available for sale (and in any event within no later than 30 Business Days thereafter), the Parent Group undertakes to promptly sell such released portions of the Visa Shares and cause the Group Companies to pay the consideration actually received from the sale of the Visa Shares (as and when the sale of the Visa Shares is completed in accordance with the details set forth in Exhibit R) after making deductions for Tax payments by depositing the amounts to the Paying Agent and/or the Israeli Paying Agent for the purposes of distribution to the Participating Equity Holders, as full and final discharge of any amounts owed by the Group Companies to the Participating Equity Holders in connection with the Visa Shares. Payment of such consideration as aforesaid shall be within 30 Business Days of each applicable sale.

Section 1.7 Dissenting Shares. At the Effective Time, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all Dissenting Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist or be outstanding, and each Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to be a member of the Company (and shall not be a member of the Surviving Corporation) and shall cease to have any rights thereto (including any right to receive such holder’s portion of the Aggregate Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and the Post-Closing Payments), subject to and except for such rights as are granted under Section 179 of the BVI Act including, for the avoidance of doubt, the right to receive the fair-value in respect of the Dissenting Shares.

Section 1.8 Appraisal Rights; No Further Ownership Rights. No Person who has validly exercised their rights of dissent pursuant to Section 179 of the BVI Act shall be entitled to receive the Aggregate Consideration or any Post-Closing Payment unless and until the holder thereof shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal under Section 179 of the BVI Act, and any Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 179 of the BVI Act with respect to Ordinary Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing. If any Dissenting Shareholder shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent with respect to any Ordinary Shares, such Ordinary Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Ordinary Shares had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Consideration and any Post-Closing Payments. The Company shall give the Parent Group (i) notice of any dissent, written demands for appraisal, withdrawals of such demands, and any other documents or instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company with regards to dissent and/or appraisal rights, and (ii) the opportunity to select an appraiser on behalf of the Company and to approve any and all matters relating to the appraisal as conducted by such appraiser with respect to the appraisal of fair value of the Dissenting Shares under Section 179 of the BVI Act. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent Group, settle any demand for appraisal rights.

Section 1.9 Earn-Out.

(a) Earn-Out. As additional consideration for the Merger and upon achievement of each of the Earn-Out Milestones (regardless and independent as of whether any other Earn-Out Milestones were achieved at such time), the Parent Group shall pay to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Participating Equity Holders or, with respect to the Israeli Participating Equity Holders, to the Israeli Paying Agent for further distribution to Israeli Participating Equity Holders, or, with respect to beneficial holders of 102 Shares and 102 Company Options, to the 102 Trustee, or with respect to holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs, to the Company or applicable Subsidiary for further payment to such holders through Company’s or Subsidiary’s payroll system pursuant to the contractual right of holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSU’s to receive payment, at such times and in accordance with the procedures set out below, an amount (the “Earn-Out Consideration”), equal to each such Participating Equity Holder’s Pro Rata Share:

(i) [***] in Shift4 Payments, Inc. Class A common stock for achievement of the Earn-Out Milestone Event I;

(ii) [***] in Shift4 Payments, Inc. Class A common stock for achievement of the Earn-Out Milestone Event II; and

(iii) [***] in Shift4 Payments, Inc. Class A common stock for achievement of the Earn-Out Milestone Event III

in each case determined in accordance with this Section 3.9 (taking into account the Parent Stock Price).

(b) Determination of Earn-Out Consideration. Following the achievement of any Earn-Out Milestone (and no later than within 5 Business Days thereof), the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders’ Representative (with a copy to the Parent Group) a written statement that said Earn-Out Milestone has been achieved (the “Earn-Out Achievement Notice”). The Earn-Out Achievement Notice shall include (i) confirmation or which Earn-Out Milestone was achieved and the date thereof; and (ii) confirmation by the General Counsel of the Parent that all of the Parent Groups’ representations and warranties as set out in Article VI are true and correct as of such date.

(c) Payment of Earn-Out Consideration. The Earn-Out Consideration (if any) shall be satisfied by way of issuance to the Paying Agent on behalf of the Participating Equity Holders, or, with respect to the Israeli Participating Equity Holders, issued to the Israeli Paying Agent on behalf thereof, such number of Shift4 Payments, Inc. Class A common stock in accordance with Section 3.10, equal to the applicable Pro Rata Share portion of the Earn-Out Consideration divided by the applicable Parent Stock Price, to be distributed to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the Distribution Waterfall and the provisions of this Agreement, provided that if (i) the Shift4 Payments, Inc. common stock is delisted from NYSE, for any reason; or (ii) an Acceleration Event has occurred, then, in each such case, and if so determined and requested by the Shareholder Representative in writing, the Earn-Out Consideration shall be paid in cash. To the extent that the Earn-Out Consideration is paid in cash, the payment shall be made to the Paying Agent on such Participating Equity Holders’ behalf, or, with respect to the Israeli Participating Equity Holders, issued to the Israeli Paying Agent on behalf thereof, and distributed in accordance with the Distribution Waterfall and the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Timing of Payment. Any Earn-Out Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.9, shall be effected by the Parent Group no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the occurrence of the relevant Earn-Out Milestone. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) failure by the Company to issue the Earn-Out Achievement Notice shall not exempt the Parent Group from any obligations pursuant to this Section herein; and (ii) if any of the Earn-Out Milestones are achieved prior to Closing, then the applicable portion of the Earn-Out Consideration shall only be paid by the Parent Group at Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intent of the parties that such payments will be made, if at all, in any event within the period required by Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A) for payments to holders of Vested Company RSUs and Vested Company Options.

Distributions to holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs, other than 102 Company Options and/or 102 Shares, shall be treated as compensation and subject to applicable payroll tax withholding (which the Parent agrees to pay by retaining shares of Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A shares of common stock that would otherwise be distributed to such holders pursuant to this Section as Earn-Out Consideration, and Parent agrees to remit the cash amount of any such withholding Taxes to the relevant Taxing authority. The Earn-Out Consideration paid to holders of 102 Company Option and/or 102 Shares shall be issued as a share award under the Parent Equity Plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO and deposited with the 102 Trustee all in accordance with and subject to obtaining the 102 Israeli Tax Ruling or the Interim 102 Israeli Tax Ruling.

then in any such case (each such event(s) to be referred to herein as an “Acceleration Event”) any amounts of the Earn-Out Consideration not yet paid shall be deemed earned and payable and shall be paid immediately upon the occurrence of such event. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that termination of, amendment or modification to Material Contracts relating to certain merchant categories which are determined as high-risk by the Parent Group after Closing (not related to the Starlink or VenueNext European agreements) shall not in and of themselves be deemed to be an Acceleration Event.

For the avoidance of doubt, the lock-in period for the Earn-Out Consideration shall not exceed the periods set out hereinabove, even if such equity is issued after the Closing Date, and any issuance of the Earn-Out Consideration due after any of the periods set out in (i)-(iii) above, shall be deemed as fully vested and released at the times mentioned above.

Any Participating Equity Holder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A common stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A common stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent). Such cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid by the Parent Group at the Closing (with respect to what would otherwise be fractional Closing Consideration Stock) and, as applicable upon the effect of the Earn-Out Consideration (with respect to what would otherwise be fractional Earn-Out Consideration).

(e) Recapitalization.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 3.13(a) above and anything else in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Israeli Paying Agent undertaking provided by the Israeli Paying Agent to the Parent Group under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates), (the “Israeli Paying Agent Undertaking”), and subject to the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling and/or Interim 104H Tax Ruling, as applicable, with respect to an Israeli Participating Equity Holder, any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to each such Israeli Participating Equity Holder under this Agreement or any Closing Document other than holders of 102 Shares, 102 Company Options and 102 Company Share Awards, shall be transferred to and retained by the Israeli Paying Agent for the benefit of each such payment recipient for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date, which period may be extended by an additional one-hundred eighty (180) days by the Shareholders’ Representative providing written notice to the Israeli Paying Agent and the Parent Group of the same or, with respect to any Post-Closing Payment, ninety (90) days from the date on which such amounts or any remaining balance thereof is released or any extended date as above, or an earlier date required in writing by such payment recipient (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time no payments shall be made by the Israeli Paying Agent to any such Israeli Participating Equity Holder and no amounts for Israeli Taxes shall be withheld from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement or any Closing Document, except as provided below and during which time each such Israeli Participating Equity Holder may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate).

For purposes of this Agreement, an Israeli Participating Equity Holder shall mean any Participating Equity Holder who does not provide to the Shareholders’ Representative, no later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date: a validly executed self-declaration signed by the relevant Participating Equity Holder in the form appended as Exhibit T confirming that she or he is not resident for Tax purposes in Israel (each a “Tax Residence Self-Declaration”).

(d) The Shareholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Parent, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, an opinion from PricewaterhouseCoopers (Israel), in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and its advisors, in which it is opined that (i) the Company is not an Israeli resident for Tax purposes, as defined under Section 1 of the ITO due to the Company’s business and activities being controlled and managed in Israel; and (ii) the majority (more than 50%) of the Company’s value does not consist of Israeli assets.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, in the absence of a 104H Tax Ruling and/or Interim 104H Tax Ruling and/or Valid Tax Certificate, that expressly applies to any portion of any consideration in Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A common stock transferable pursuant to this Agreement and any Escrow Amount payable to a specific Israeli Participating Equity Holder , the applicable amount of Israeli Taxes to be withheld from any such consideration shall be funded through a reduction from any portion of the cash consideration payable to such recipient.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and subject to the provisions of the 104H Tax Ruling and/or Interim 104H Tax Ruling if obtained with respect to the Earn-Out Consideration payable to any Israeli Participating Equity Holder, such consideration shall be issued to the Israeli Paying Agent to be held in trust on behalf of such holder, until such holder presents a Valid Tax Certificate providing for full exemption from withholding with respect to such consideration or alternatively, at the Parent’s discretion, by the Parent Group retaining a portion of the shares of Shift4 Payments, Inc.’s Class A shares of common stock that would otherwise be distributed to such Israeli Participating Equity Holder as Earn-Out Consideration, and Parent Group remitting through the Israeli Paying Agent the cash amount of any such withholding Taxes to the ITA.

Section 1.14 Expense Fund. At Closing, Parent Group shall pay to the Paying Agent, for distribution to the Shareholders’ Representative (for the avoidance of doubt without any withholding or deduction on account of Tax) an amount equal to the Expense Fund Amount (such amount, together with any interest accrued thereon, are referred to herein collectively as the “Expense Fund”).

The outstanding balance of the Expense Fund available for distribution following the completion of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder, as determined by the Shareholders’ Representative in his sole discretion, shall be distributed by the

Shareholders’ Representative to the Paying Agent to be further disbursed to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the portion set out with respect to each Participating Equity Holder’s in the Distribution Waterfall. Neither any member of the Parent Group nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any interest, right, Lien, obligation or claim in respect of the Expense Fund or any amounts held therein. Neither any member of the Parent Group nor any Affiliate thereof shall be allowed to take any action with respect to, or grant to any Person any right with respect to, the Expense Fund or any amounts held therein, or instruct the Shareholders’ Representative, the Escrow Agent or any other Person regarding any actions to take with respect to the Expense Fund or any amount therein.]

Section 1.15 Payments in Violation of Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any party or the Paying Agent to make any payment or transfer of securities in violation of any law, regulation, Sanctions Laws or any other international sanctions regime (including, without limitation, as designated by OFAC) or anti-money laundering regime applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or in a manner that would risk causing the Company or any party to this Agreement being designated a Sanctioned Person or otherwise being targeted under any Sanctions, including U.S. secondary Sanctions or that would otherwise make it impossible or illegal for the Company to carry on its business or a substantial part thereof in the ordinary course (a “Violation”). If any payment or transfer of securities pursuant to this Agreement may, in the reasonable opinion of the Company and/or the Paying Agent, result in a Violation the Company and/or the Paying Agent may transfer the relevant cash or securities to a segregated account to be held on trust for the relevant payee until the Company and/or the Paying Agent has determined it may lawfully make payment or transfer to the relevant payee (including, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of any license obtained in respect of such payment).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(d) and the first sentence of this Section 9.1(c), it is expressly agreed that the R&W Insurance shall provide the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent and Parent Indemnified Parties with respect to (i) any breach, alleged breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement or in any Closing Document or other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement except in respect of any Specified Matters (to the extent such matters are not adequately covered by the R&W Insurance) and (ii) Pre-Closing Taxes and any Taxes that result from or are imposed in connection with the consummation of the Merger or any Taxes of Parent Group or, following the Closing, the Company or any of their Affiliates resulting from actions taken by them at or following the Closing, excluding in each case any Taxes indemnified pursuant to any Specified Tax Matter and/or the [***], and for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Parent Indemnified Parties shall have no recourse rights for any amount of Loss and shall not be entitled to seek any remedy from the Participating Equity Holders in respect of (i) or (ii) other than with respect to Specified Matters not covered by R&W Insurance and/or the [***], solely from the Indemnity Escrow Account subject to the limitations set out in Section 9.1(d) below. The above shall not derogate from any obligation as expressly set out in the [***], subject to the terms therein.

(d) Limitations.

(i) Notwithstanding the aforesaid, and without derogating from the provisions of Section 9.1(c), Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to satisfy and pay from the Escrow Account claims for each Specified Matter up to a maximum of the Indemnity Escrow Amount, provided however that (i) with respect [***], the maximum liability shall not exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount or any portion thereof remaining in the Escrow Account at such time, which amounts shall be released in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and no later than upon expiry of the applicable Specified Matter Survival Period for [***] as set out in item a of Schedule 9.1(a); (ii) for all Specified Matters in Schedule 9.1(a) other than [***] (the “General Specified Matters”) an aggregate amount not to exceed the Indemnity Escrow Amount provided that the Maximum Remaining Escrow Amount (or any portion thereof to the extent not paid to the Parent Indemnified Parties as per the terms of the Escrow Agreement) shall be released no later than the third anniversary of the Closing. To the extent that the liability for [***] and [***] is discharged and fully paid post Closing from the funds available in the Escrow Account, the amounts available for the General Specified Matters shall not exceed the Maximum Remaining Escrow Amount; and (iii) no Seller shall be liable for any Loss beyond its Pro Rata Share in respect of any Specified Matter and with respect to any amount then remaining at such time in the Indemnity Escrow Amount. It is further clarified that the Indemnity Escrow Amount, and each portion of the Specified Matter Allocations as set out hereinabove, shall serve as sole and exclusive security for such obligations of the Sellers towards the Parent Group in respect of the relevant Specified Matters.

(ii) Without derogating from the provisions of Section 9.1(c) or Section 9.1(d)(i) above, (i) the maximum amount in respect of which the Parent Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.1(a) above and the aggregate liability of each Seller in respect of such claims for indemnification and any other liability incurred in connection with the Agreement including pursuant to the [***], shall not exceed an amount equal to the portion of the Aggregate Consideration actually received by such Seller (on an after-Tax basis) provided, that each Seller’s liability for any Losses hereunder, shall be limited to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Losses resulting therefrom, and (ii) no Seller shall be responsible for, or indemnify a Parent Indemnified Party in respect of, any breach or any fraud that is committed by any other Participating Equity Holder.

(iii) Nothing in this Agreement shall derogate from Indemnified Parties’ obligation to use reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses provided that a failure to mitigate any Losses shall not extinguish the right to indemnity under this Article IX but may reduce the amounts recoverable pursuant to such indemnity claim.

Section 1.2 Third Party Claim Indemnification Procedures

(a) In the event that any claim or demand for which a Person from whom indemnification is sought under this Article IX (the “Indemnifying Party”) may have liability to any Person claiming indemnification under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) hereunder (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any claim for which the Indemnified Party’s sole recourse is under the R&W Insurance Policy) is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall, promptly following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of a Third Party Claim, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Third Party Claim including reasonable details with respect thereto, the amount or the estimated amount of damages sought thereunder to the extent then ascertainable, and, to the extent practicable, any other material details pertaining thereto (a “Claim Notice”); provided, that the failure to give such Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such failure to give timely notice vis-à-vis its rights and obligations hereunder or otherwise. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of the applicable Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party; provided, further, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes conduct and control of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent in writing of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement or consent to entry of any judgment that (x) imposes any injunctive relief or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (y) does not include as a term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Claim against the Indemnified Party of an express and unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such Third Party Claim; provided, that if the Indemnified Party does pay or settle such Third Party Claim it shall waive any right to indemnity by the Indemnifying Party for the Losses set forth in the Claim Notice solely with respect to such matters that have been paid or settled unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the applicable Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest the Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement of, or consent in writing to entry of any judgment with respect to, such Third Party Claim, without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.2(a) to the contrary, the Indemnified Party will have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the defense, compromise and settlement of any Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or alleges a criminal violation, (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the R&W Insurance Provider has exercised a right to defend the Third Party Claim under the R&W Insurance Policy. Additionally, the Indemnifying Party will lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim if it fails to accept a tender of the defense of the Third Party Claim according to Section 9.2(a). In such event, the Indemnified Party will have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that at least fourteen (14) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Party during which settlement shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if during such fourteen (14) days the Indemnifying Party acknowledges that it is responsible to indemnify such Indemnified Party for Losses incurred in connection therewith. If the Indemnifying Party, within thirty (30) days after written notice of any Third Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires), elects not to defend such Third Party Claim (or is not entitled to assume or continue the defense of such Third Party Claim) or thereafter fails or ceases to defend such Third Party Claim, actively (given the nature of the case) and in good faith, then the Indemnified Party will (upon further advance written notice of at least three (3) days) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it deems appropriate and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, or consent to the entry of a judgment with respect thereto, and the Indemnifying Party shall thereafter have no right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement thereof.

Section 1.3 Notice of Claims.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Seller shall be liable in respect of any Seller Claim unless written notice of such Seller Claim is given by the Parent Group to the Shareholders’ Representative from whom indemnification is sought on or before:

(i) the date falling 12 months after (and excluding) the date of Closing.

(ii) with respect to the Specified Matter, the Specified Matter Survival Period as applicable in respect of such Specified Matter.

(b) Where a breach giving rise to a Seller Claim is capable of remedy, the Parent Group shall not be entitled to make any claim (whether for damages or otherwise) in respect of such breach if the breach is remedied within thirty (30) Business Days after notice of the Seller Claim is given.

(c) If notice of any Seller Claim is served by the Parent Group, no Seller shall be liable in respect of such Seller Claim (if such Seller Claim has not been satisfied or settled) unless:

(i) Proceedings in respect of such Seller Claim are both issued and served within three months after (and excluding) the date on which notice is served; and

(ii) such Proceedings are being and continue to be pursued with reasonable diligence.

Section 1.4 No Multiple Recoveries. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party more than once for any particular Loss, nor shall the Indemnifying Party be liable or otherwise obligated to indemnify any or all Indemnified Parties for the same Loss more than once and there shall be no double counting. For the avoidance of doubt it is expressly agreed that no Seller shall be liable for any Losses which are categorised as Company Transaction Expenses for the purposes of determination of the Closing Total Indebtedness.

Section 1.5 Determination of Losses. All Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX or the [***] shall be calculated net of the amount of any recoveries received by an Indemnified Party prior to the payment in full of such Losses under any existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions incurred or paid to procure such recoveries in respect of any indemnifiable Losses suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by any Indemnified Party. Furthermore, the amount of Losses shall be reduced by any actual Tax payment or refund actually received with respect to the specific indemnifiable event or item, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Indemnified Party. In addition, all Losses subject to indemnification under this Article IX or the [***] shall be reduced by any Tax attribute (including for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, any existing net operating losses) that is available to offset any Tax Liability in connection with such Losses, such that the Company Group shall first be required to utilize any existing net operating losses, credits or any other Tax attributes prior to any payment of indemnification with respect to such Losses (for the avoidance of doubt, the value of any such Tax attributes utilized shall not increase the amount of Losses so indemnified), provided that such net operating losses, credits or other Tax attributes have arisen in a Pre-Closing Tax Period and have not been taking into account in calculating the Adjusted Merger Consideration as a Deferred Tax Asset. If an Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third party in respect of a Loss that is the subject of indemnification hereunder after all or a portion of such Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the applicable Indemnifying Party the excess of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof, less (ii) the full amount of the Loss.

Section 1.6 No Rights of Set-Off. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parent Group for itself and for its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that the Parent Group or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns has or may have with respect to any payments to be made by the Parent Group pursuant to this Agreement or instrument delivered by the Parent Group in connection herewith.

Section 1.7 Tax Treatment of Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by all parties, to the extent permitted by Law, as an adjustment to the Merger consideration for all Tax purposes.

(iv) to use reasonable efforts to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Participating Equity Holders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Participating Equity Holders arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, in connection therewith, to (i) assert or institute any Proceeding or make any indemnification claims; (ii) settle or compromise any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement; and (iii) file and prosecute appeals from any judgment rendered in any of the foregoing Proceedings;

(viii) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Participating Equity Holders;

(ix) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Participating Equity Holders in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein;

(x) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Shareholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Parent Group and their respective Affiliates (including after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) shall be entitled to rely on the Shareholders’ Representative and treat the Shareholders’ Representative as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Participating Equity Holder and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 11.14(a);

(xi) withhold from any cash payment or distribution to the Participating Equity Holders on and after the date hereof, the amount of any fee payable to the Shareholders’ Representative and any reasonable cost and expense incurred directly or indirectly by the Shareholders’ Representative in connection with its obligations hereunder or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent the Expense Fund has been depleted; and

(xii) enforce payment and distribution of any amounts payable to the Participating Equity Holders, in each case to the extent of each of the Participating Equity Holders’ respective interests therein.

(xiii) In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder and under the Paying Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, the Shareholders’ Representative shall have the right at any time and from time to time to select and engage attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, advisors, or consultants and obtain such other professional and expert assistance (in all cases as reasonably necessary), and maintain such records, as reasonably necessary or desirable, and incur other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The fees and expenses of such advisors shall constitute expenses incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative and shall be reimbursed in accordance with this Section 11.14(a)(xiii) and Section 11.14(b). The Expense Fund will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Shareholders’ Representative for, any third-party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, any indemnification obligations pursuant to this Agreement. The Shareholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud. The Shareholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its own funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Participating Equity Holders at the time of Closing. Any funds remaining in the Expense Fund shall be distributed to the Participating Equity Holders promptly following the completion of the Shareholders’ Representative’s duties, or at such earlier time as the Shareholders’ Representative may determine in its sole discretion.

(b) Exculpation; Indemnification; Advancement of Expenses.

(i) In dealing with this Agreement and any instruments, agreements or documents relating thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise any or all of the powers conferred upon the Shareholders’ Representative hereunder, the Shareholders’ Representative assumes, and shall not be liable to any Participating Equity Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Shareholders’ Representative while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Shareholders’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Shareholders’ Representative (which is not the result of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct) whether or not pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Shareholders’ Representative to liability to the Participating Equity Holders.

(ii) The Shareholders’ Representative shall serve as the Shareholders’ Representative without compensation; provided, that the Participating Equity Holders shall severally but not jointly indemnify the Shareholders’ Representative, defend and hold it harmless against any loss, Liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, Proceeding, Order, fee, cost or expense incurred without fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Representative (collectively, the “Representative Losses”) and arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the (1) acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Shareholders’ Representative, or (2) performance of this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally determined to have been directly caused by the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Shareholders’ Representative, the Shareholders’ Representative will reimburse the Participating Equity Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Shareholders’ Representative by the Participating Equity Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Shareholders’ Representative from the funds in the Expense Fund; provided, further, that while this section allows the Shareholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned source of funds, this does not relieve the Participating Equity Holders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Shareholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Shareholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Participating Equity Holders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Participating Equity Holders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Shareholders’ Representative under this section.

(iii) After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Shareholders’ Representative that is within the scope of the Shareholders’ Representative’s authority under Section 11.14(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Participating Equity Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Participating Equity Holder; and each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Participating Equity Holder. Parent Group, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Shareholders’ Representative.

(c) Upon the dissolution or resignation of the Shareholders’ Representative, a successor shall be appointed by in accordance with the provisions of the Shareholder Representative Agreement; provided, that the Shareholders’ Representative shall provide Parent Group with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such dissolution or resignation.
