Performance Share Award Agreement
This PERFORMANCE SHARE AWARD AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated November 5, 2010 (the "Grant Date"), is by and between
VISA INC. (the "Company") and <PARTC_NAME> (the "Participant"), pursuant to the Visa Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan").
Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee has authorized the grant to the Participant of Performance Shares in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Participant and the Company desire to enter into this Agreement to evidence and confirm the grant of such Performance Shares
on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Participant and the Company agree as follows:
1. Grant of Performance Shares. Pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Company on the Grant Date has granted and
hereby evidences the grant to the Participant, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, of an award of <OPTS_GRANTED>
