</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Vistaprint N.V.&#146;s articles of association provide that the members of its supervisory board
and management board will be indemnified against any and all liabilities, including all expenses
(including attorneys&#146; fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and other financial
losses, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a member of the supervisory board or the
management board in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or administrative or any action, suit or proceeding in order to obtain
information, other than an action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of Vistaprint
N.V., if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of Vistaprint N.V.; provided that such member has not been adjudged in a final
and non-appealable judgment by a court to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct,
subject to various exceptions. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by a judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or the failure to put up a defense or its equivalent, shall not, in
and of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
he reasonably could believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Vistaprint N.V.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The indemnification provided for in the articles of association is not exclusive of other
rights to which a member of the supervisory board or the management board may be entitled,
including any insurance purchased by Vistaprint N.V. Vistaprint N.V. also entered into
indemnification agreements governed by Dutch law with each member of its management board and
supervisory board that provide for indemnification and expense advancement and include related
provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitee&#146;s receipt of such benefits. The agreements provide
that Vistaprint N.V. will indemnify each such supervisory or management board member, provided that
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of Vistaprint N.V. and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The agreements permit expenses
to be advanced to an indemnitee, subject to an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay amounts
advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. The
disinterested members of the supervisory board of Vistaprint N.V., an independent counsel or the
stockholders of Vistprint N.V. (the &#147;Decision Makers&#148;) will determine whether indemnification
payment should be made in any particular instance. In making such determination, the Decision
Makers must presume that the indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification and Vistaprint N.V. has
the burden of proof in seeking to overcome such presumption. If the Decision Makers determine that
the supervisory or management board member is not entitled to indemnification, the agreements
provide that such person is entitled to settle disputes with respect to the right to
indemnification under the agreement in a competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

(a) The registrant's latest annual report filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act or the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act that
contains audited financial statements for the registrant's latest fiscal year for which such
statements have been filed.
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the
end of the fiscal year covered by the document referred to in (a) above.
(c) The description of the securities contained in the registrant's registration statement on
Form 8-A filed under the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
All documents subsequently filed by the registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that
all securities offered hereby have been sold or that deregisters all securities then remaining
unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be
part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents. Any statement contained in a document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for the purposes of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained
herein or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded
shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration
statement.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Vistaprint N.V.'s articles of association provide that the members of its supervisory board
and management board will be indemnified against any and all liabilities, including all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and other financial
losses, actually and reasonably incurred by him as a member of the supervisory board or the
management board in respect of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or administrative or any action, suit or proceeding in order to obtain
information, other than an action, suit or proceeding instituted by or on behalf of Vistaprint
N.V., if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of Vistaprint N.V.; provided that such member has not been adjudged in a final
and non-appealable judgment by a court to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct,
subject to various exceptions. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by a judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or the failure to put up a defense or its equivalent, shall not, in
and of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which
he reasonably could believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Vistaprint N.V.
The indemnification provided for in the articles of association is not exclusive of other
rights to which a member of the supervisory board or the management board may be entitled,
including any insurance purchased by Vistaprint N.V. Vistaprint N.V. also entered into
indemnification agreements governed by Dutch law with each member of its management board and
supervisory board that provide for indemnification and expense advancement and include related
provisions meant to facilitate the indemnitee's receipt of such benefits. The agreements provide
that Vistaprint N.V. will indemnify each such supervisory or management board member, provided that
he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of Vistaprint N.V. and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had
no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The agreements permit expenses
to be advanced to an indemnitee, subject to an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay amounts
advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification. The
disinterested members of the supervisory board of Vistaprint N.V., an independent counsel or the
stockholders of Vistprint N.V. (the "Decision Makers") will determine whether indemnification
payment should be made in any particular instance. In making such determination, the Decision
Makers must presume that the indemnitee is entitled to such indemnification and Vistaprint N.V. has
the burden of proof in seeking to overcome such presumption. If the Decision Makers determine that
the supervisory or management board member is not entitled to indemnification, the agreements
provide that such person is entitled to settle disputes with respect to the right to
indemnification under the agreement in a competent court in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Item 9. Undertakings.
1.
Item
512(a)
of Regulation S-K
. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
2.
Item
512(b)
of Regulation S-K
. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated
by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
3.
Item
512(h)
of Regulation S-K
. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that
in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
