An Incentive Stock Option may not be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary (as defined in Section 424 of the Code). Each Incentive Stock Option shall be granted within ten years of the date this

 -9- 








 
(determined as of the date of grant) of shares of Common Stock with respect to which options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by a participant during any calendar year (under this Plan or any other plan of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) exceeds the amount (currently $100,000) established by the Code, such
options shall constitute Nonqualified Stock Options. 
 Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall
contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable: 
 (a)
Number of Shares and Purchase Price. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee. The purchase price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Stock Option shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such Stock Option; provided, however, that if an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who, at the time such Incentive Stock Option is
granted, owns capital stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company (or of any parent or subsidiary as defined in Section 424 of the Code) (a “Ten Percent
Holder”), the purchase price per share of Common Stock shall be the price (currently 110% of Fair Market Value) required by the Code in order to constitute an Incentive Stock Option. 
 (b) Option Period and Exercisability. The period during which a Stock Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided,
however, that no Stock Option shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant; provided further, that if an Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to a Ten Percent Holder, such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercised later
than five years after its date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of a Stock Option or to the exercisability of all or a portion of a Stock
Option. The Committee shall determine whether a Stock Option shall become exercisable in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable Stock Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised only with
respect to whole shares of Common Stock. 
 (c) Method of Exercise. A Stock Option may be exercised (i) by giving written notice
to the Company specifying the number of whole shares of Common Stock to be purchased and accompanied by payment therefor in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction) either (A) in cash, (B) by delivery
(either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) of Mature Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable by reason of such exercise,
(C) except as may be prohibited by applicable law, in cash by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, or (D) by a combination of (A) and (B), in each case to the
extent set forth in the Agreement relating to the Stock Option, and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be
disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the optionee. No certificate or other indicia of ownership representing Common Stock shall be delivered until the full purchase price therefor, and any withholding taxes thereon, as
described in Section 5.5, have been paid (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company’s satisfaction). 
  

 -10- 








 (d) Minimum Vesting Period. Except as provided in this subsection or as otherwise provided under
the Plan, no Stock Option award may become exercisable in full until three years from the date such Stock Option was granted and no portion of a Stock Option award may become exercisable until one year from the date such Stock Option was granted.
The limitations of the preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of a Stock Option that becomes exercisable as a result of the attainment of a specified Performance Measure or in the case of a Stock Option granted as an employee recognition
award, a retention award, or to a newly hired employee; provided that except as provided for under the Plan no portion of any such Stock Option may become exercisable until six months from the date the Stock Option was granted. The exceptions in the
preceding sentence to the general minimum vesting provisions of this subsection, other than the exception applying to a Stock Option that becomes exercisable as a result of the attainment of a specified Performance Measure, are intended to be
applied only in special circumstances as determined by the Committee (or its delegate). 
 (e) Repricing and Discounting. Subject to
Section 5.7, the repricing or discounting of Stock Options is expressly disallowed under this Plan. 
 2.2. Stock Appreciation Rights. The
Committee may, in its discretion, grant SARs to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. 
 SARs shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable: 
 (a) Number of SARs and Base Price. The number of SARs subject to an award shall be determined by the Committee. The base price of an SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common
Stock on the date such SAR is granted. 
 (b) Exercise Period and Exercisability. The Agreement relating to an award of SARs shall
specify whether such award may be settled in shares of Common Stock (including shares of Restricted Stock) or cash or a combination thereof. The period for the exercise of an SAR shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that no SAR
shall be exercised later than ten years after its date of grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish Performance Measures which shall be satisfied or met as a condition to the grant of an SAR or to the exercisability of all or a portion
of an SAR. The Committee shall determine whether an SAR may be exercised in cumulative or non-cumulative installments and in part or in full at any time. An exercisable SAR, or portion thereof, may be exercised only with respect to a whole number of
SARs. If an SAR is exercised for shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates or other indicia of ownership representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of such Restricted
Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Prior to the exercise of an SAR for shares of Common Stock, including Restricted Stock, the holder of such SAR shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such SAR and shall have rights as a stockholder of the Company in accordance with Section 5.10. 
 (c) Method of Exercise. An SAR may be exercised (i) by giving written notice to the Company specifying the whole number of SARs which are
being exercised and (ii) by executing such documents as the Company may reasonably request. 
  

 -11- 








 (d) Minimum Vesting Period. Except as provided in this subsection or as otherwise provided under
the Plan, no SAR award may become exercisable in full until three years from the date such SAR was granted and no portion of a SAR award may become exercisable until one year from the date such SAR was granted. The limitations of the preceding
sentence shall not apply in the case of a SAR that becomes exercisable as a result of the attainment of a specified Performance Measure or in the case of a SAR granted as an employee recognition award, a retention award, or to a newly hired
employee; provided that except as provided for under the Plan no portion of any such SAR may become exercisable until six months from the date the SAR was granted. The exceptions in the preceding sentence to the general minimum vesting provisions of
this subsection, other than the exception applying to a SAR that becomes exercisable as a result of the attainment of a specified Performance Measure, are intended to be applied only in special circumstances as determined by the Committee (or its
delegate). 
 (e) Repricing and Discounting. Subject to Section 5.7, the repricing or discounting of SARs is expressly disallowed
under this Plan. 
 2.3. Termination of Employment or Service. 
 (a) Disability. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Option or SAR terminates by reason of Disability, each Stock Option and SAR
held by such holder shall become fully vested and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is one year after the effective date of such
holder’s termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of such Stock Option or SAR. 
 (b)
Retirement. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Option or SAR terminates by reason of Retirement, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall continue
to vest in accordance with its terms, and to the extent vested, may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is four years after the effective date of such
holder’s termination of employment or service, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of such Stock Option or SAR. 
 (c)
Death. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Option or SAR terminates by reason of death, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall become fully vested
and exercisable and may thereafter be exercised by such holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the
term of such Stock Option or SAR. 
 (d) Involuntary Termination Without Cause. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, and except
as provided in Section 5.8, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Option or SAR is terminated by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate without Cause, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall
cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the date which is three months after such involuntary termination, or if earlier, the
expiration date of the term of such Stock Option or SAR. 
  

 -12- 








 (e) Termination for Cause. If the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a
Stock Option or SAR is terminated for Cause, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar
person) until the close of the New York Stock Exchange (if open) on the date of such holder’s termination of employment or service. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed at the time of such holder’s termination of employment, then such
Stock Option or SAR shall be forfeited at the time such holder’s employment is terminated and shall be canceled by the Company. 
 (f) Other Termination. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, if the employment with
or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Option or SAR terminates for any reason other than Disability, Retirement, death, involuntary termination without Cause, or termination for Cause, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall
cease to vest, and to the extent already vested, may thereafter be exercised by such holder (or such holder’s legal representative or similar person) until the close of the New York Stock Exchange (if open) on the date which is the thirtieth
(30th) day following such holder’s termination of employment or service. If the New York Stock Exchange is closed on such date, then such Stock
Option or SAR shall be forfeited and shall be canceled by the Company effective with the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the next following day in which the New York Stock Exchange is open. 
 (g) Death Following Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, if the holder of a Stock Option or SAR dies
during the applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, each Stock Option and SAR held by such holder shall be exercisable only to the extent that such Stock Option or SAR is exercisable on the date of such holder’s death and may thereafter be
exercised by the holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person until the date which is one year after the date of death, or if earlier, the expiration date of the term of such Stock Option or SAR.

 III. STOCK AWARDS 
 3.1. Stock
Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Stock Awards to such eligible persons as may be selected by the Committee. The Agreement relating to the Stock Award shall specify whether the Stock Award is a Restricted Stock Award, a
Restricted Stock Unit Award, or a Bonus Stock Award. 
 3.2. Terms of Stock Awards. Stock Awards shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable. 
 (a) Number of Shares and Other Terms. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award and the Performance Measures (if any) and the Restriction Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or a
Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be determined by the Committee. 
 (b) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement relating to a Restricted
Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall provide, in the manner determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and subject to the provisions of this Plan, for the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award, in the case of a
Restricted Stock Award, or for the vesting of the 

  

 -13- 








 
Restricted Stock Unit Award itself, in the case of Restricted Stock Unit Award, (i) if specified Performance Measures are satisfied or met during the
specified Restriction Period or (ii) if the holder of such award remains continuously in the employment of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period, and for the forfeiture of all or a portion of the shares of Common
Stock subject to such award in the case of a Restricted Stock Award, or for the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Unit Award itself, in the case of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, (x) if specified Performance Measures are not satisfied or met
during the specified Restriction Period or (y) if the holder of such award does not remain continuously in the employment of or service to the Company during the specified Restriction Period. 
 Bonus Stock Awards shall not be subject to any Performance Measures or Restriction Periods. 
 (c) Share Certificates/Indicia of Ownership. During the Restriction Period, a certificate or certificates or other indicia of ownership
representing a Restricted Stock Award may be registered in the holder’s name or a nominee name at the discretion of the Company and may bear a legend, in addition to any legend which may be required pursuant to Section 5.6, indicating that
the ownership of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby is subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to the Restricted Stock Award. As determined by the Committee, all certificates or other
indicia of ownership registered in the holder’s name shall be deposited with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment (including a power of attorney), each endorsed in blank with a guarantee of signature if
deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company, which would permit transfer to the Company of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award in the event such award is forfeited in whole or in part. Upon
termination of any applicable Restriction Period (and the satisfaction or attainment of any applicable Performance Measures), or upon the grant of a Bonus Stock Award, in each case subject to the Company’s right to require payment of any taxes
in accordance with Section 5.5, a certificate or certificates evidencing ownership, or such other indicia of ownership as determined by the Committee, of the requisite number of shares of Common Stock shall be delivered to the holder of such
award. 
 (d) Rights with Respect to Restricted Stock Awards. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to a Restricted
Stock Award, and subject to the Committee’s right to cause such Award to be cancelled pursuant to an adjustment under Section 5.7, the holder of such award shall have all rights as a stockholder of the Company, including voting rights, the
right to receive dividends and the right to participate in any capital adjustment applicable to all holders of Common Stock; provided, however, that unless the Committee determines otherwise, a distribution with respect to shares of Common Stock,
including a regular cash dividend, shall be deposited with the Company and replaced with additional Restricted Stock Awards with a Fair Market Value equal to such distribution and otherwise subject to the same restrictions as the shares of Common
Stock with respect to which such distribution was made. 
 (e) Rights and Provisions Applicable to Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The
Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall specify whether the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend equivalents, or the deemed reinvestment of any deferred dividend equivalents, with
respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such award. Prior to the settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, 

  

 -14- 








 
the holder thereof shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to such award, except to the
extent that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant dividend equivalents on Restricted Stock Unit Awards which are settled in shares of Common Stock. No shares of Common Stock and no certificates or other indicia of ownership representing
shares of Common Stock that are subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be issued upon the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award. Instead, shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Unit Awards and the certificates or other indicia
of ownership representing such shares of Common Stock shall only be distributed at the time of settlement of such Restricted Stock Unit Awards in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Agreement relating to such Restricted
Stock Unit Award. 
 (f) Minimum Restriction Period. Except as provided in this subsection or as otherwise provided under the Plan, the
Restriction Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award may not lapse in full until three years from the date such award was granted and no portion of the Restriction Period applicable to a Restricted Stock Award or
Restricted Stock Unit Award may lapse until one year from the date such award was granted. The limitations of the preceding sentence shall not apply in the case of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award that vests as a result of the
attainment of a specified Performance Measure or in the case of a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award granted as a founder’s grant, an employee recognition award, a retention award, or to a newly hired employee; provided that
except as provided for under the Plan the minimum Restriction Period applicable to such award shall be six months. The exceptions in the preceding sentence to the general minimum vesting provisions of this subsection, other than the exception
applying to a Restricted Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award that vests as a result of the attainment of a specified Performance Measure, are intended to be applied only in special circumstances as determined by the Committee (or its
delegate). 
 3.3. Termination of Employment or Service. 
 (a) Disability and Death. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to a Stock Award, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of such award terminates by reason of Disability
or death, the Restriction Period shall terminate as of the effective date of such holder’s termination of employment or service and all Performance Measures applicable to such award shall be deemed to have been satisfied at the maximum level.

 (b) Other Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement relating to a Stock Award, and except as provided in
Section 5.8, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Stock Award terminates for any reason other than Disability or death, the portion of such award which is subject to a Restriction Period on the effective date of
such holder’s termination of employment or service shall be immediately forfeited by such holder and canceled by the Company. 
 IV.
PERFORMANCE GRANTS 
 4.1. Performance Grants. The Committee may, in its discretion, make Performance Grants to such eligible persons as
may be selected by the Committee. 
  

 -15- 








 4.2. Terms of Performance Grants. Performance Grants shall be subject to the following terms and conditions
and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as the Committee shall deem advisable. 
 (a) Amount of Performance Grant and Performance Measures. The Agreement shall set forth the amount of the Performance Grant and a description of the Performance Measures and the Performance Period applicable to such Performance
Grant, as determined by the Committee in its discretion. 
 (b) Vesting and Forfeiture. The Agreement shall provide, in the manner
determined by the Committee in its discretion, for the vesting of a Performance Grant, if specified Performance Measures are satisfied during the specified Performance Period, and for the forfeiture of all or a portion of such award, if specified
Performance Measures are not satisfied during the specified Performance Period. 
 (c) Settlement of Vested Performance Grants. The
Agreement (i) shall specify whether a Performance Grant may be settled in shares of Common Stock, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, cash or a combination thereof and (ii) may specify whether the holder thereof shall be entitled to
receive, on a current or deferred basis, dividend equivalents, and, if determined by the Committee, interest on or the deemed reinvestment of any deferred dividend equivalents, with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such
award, if any. If a Performance Grant is settled in shares of Restricted Stock, a certificate or certificates or other indicia of ownership representing such Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with Section 3.2(c) and the holder of
such Restricted Stock shall have such rights of a stockholder of the Company as determined pursuant to Section 3.2(d). Prior to the settlement of a Performance Grant in shares of Common Stock or Restricted Stock the holder of such award shall
have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to such award and shall have rights as a stockholder of the Company in accordance with Section 5.10. 
 (d) Minimum Performance Period. The minimum Performance Period for any Performance Grant is one year from the date such grant is made. 

4.3. Termination of Employment or Service. 
 (a) Disability, Retirement and Death. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, if the employment with or service to the Company of the holder of a Performance Grant terminates during the Performance Period by reason of
Disability, Retirement or death, the Performance Period shall continue and the holder, or the holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person, as applicable, shall be entitled to a prorated award. Such
prorated award shall be equal to the value of the award at the end of the Performance Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall equal the number of months such holder was employed with or performing services for the Company
during the Performance Period (fractional months shall be ignored) and the denominator of which shall equal the number of months in the Performance Period; provided, however, that such holder, or such holder’s executor, administrator, legal
representative, beneficiary or similar person, as applicable, shall not be entitled to payment or distribution of such Performance Grant earlier than the date set forth in the Agreement. 
  

 -16- 








 (b) Other Termination. Unless otherwise set forth in the Agreement, if the employment with or
service to the Company of the holder of a Performance Grant terminates during the Performance Period for any reason other than Disability, Retirement or death, each Performance Grant that is not vested shall be immediately forfeited. 
 V. GENERAL 
 5.1. Effective Date and Term of
Plan. This Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for approval and, if approved, shall become effective as of September 28, 2006, the date on which the 2006 LTIP was approved by First Data in its capacity as sole
stockholder of the Company. This Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date of approval of the Plan by the Board or Committee, or if earlier when shares of Common Stock are no longer available for the grant, exercise or settlement of
awards, unless terminated earlier by the Board or the Committee. Termination of this Plan shall not affect the terms or conditions of any award granted prior to termination. If this Plan is not approved by the stockholders of the Company, this Plan
shall be null and void and the 2006 LTIP shall remain in full force and effect. 
 5.2. Amendments. The Board or the Committee may amend or
terminate this Plan, and except as provided in Sections 2.1(e) and 2.2(e), the Committee may amend outstanding awards under this Plan in any manner as it shall deem advisable in its sole discretion, subject to any requirement of stockholder approval
required by applicable law, rule or regulation, including Section 162(m) and Section 422 of the Code and the rules of the New York Stock Exchange; provided, however, that no amendment of the Plan shall be made without stockholder approval
if such amendment would increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available under this Plan (subject to Section 5.7). No amendment of the Plan or an outstanding award may impair the rights of a holder (the determination of which
shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion) of an outstanding award without the consent of such holder. 
 5.3. Agreement.
The Company may condition an award holder’s right (a) to exercise, vest or settle the award and (b) to receive delivery of shares, on the execution and delivery to the Company of the Agreement and the completion of other requirements,
including, but not limited to, the execution of a nonsolicitation agreement by the recipient and delivery thereof to the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Committee may approve an Agreement that, upon the
termination of an award holder’s employment or service, provides that, or may, in its sole discretion based on a review of all relevant facts and circumstances, otherwise take action regarding an Agreement such that (i) any or all
outstanding Stock Options and SARs shall become exercisable in part or in full, (ii) all or a portion of the Restriction Period applicable to any outstanding Stock Award shall lapse, (iii) all or a portion of the Performance Period
applicable to any outstanding Performance Grant shall lapse and (iv) the Performance Measures applicable to any outstanding award (if any) shall be deemed to be satisfied at the maximum or any other level. 
 5.4. Transferability of Stock Options. Stock Options may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by the holder
thereof, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, as long as the holder continues employment with or service to the Company, such holder may transfer Stock Options
to a Family Member or Family Entity without consideration; provided, however, in the case of a transfer of Stock Options to a limited liability company or a partnership 

  

 -17- 








 
which is a Family Entity, such transfer may be for consideration consisting solely of an equity interest in the limited liability company or partnership to
which the transfer is made. Any transfer of Stock Options shall be in a form acceptable to the Committee, shall be signed by the holder and shall be effective only upon written acknowledgement by the Committee of its receipt and acceptance of such
notice. If a Stock Option is transferred to a Family Member or to a Family Entity, such Stock Option may not thereafter be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by such Family Member or Family Entity except by
will or the laws of descent and distribution. 
 5.5. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, as of the grant, vesting,
or exercise of an award, the sale of any shares of Common Stock, the receipt of any dividends or the payment of any cash pursuant to an award made hereunder, payment by the holder of such award of any federal, state, local or other income, social
insurance, payroll or other tax-related items which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with such award. An Agreement may provide that (i) the Company shall withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be
delivered to a holder having an aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date the obligation to withhold or pay taxes arises in connection with an award (the “Tax Date”) in the amount necessary to satisfy any such
obligation, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, including withholding from wages or other cash compensation otherwise due to the holder, in the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation or (ii) the
holder may satisfy any such obligation by any of the following means: (A) a cash payment to the Company, (B) delivery (either actual delivery or by attestation procedures established by the Company) to the Company of Common Stock having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (C) authorizing the Company to withhold whole shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be delivered having an
aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash which would otherwise be payable to a holder, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligation, (D) in the case of the exercise of a Stock
Option, a cash payment by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom the optionee has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise, in each case to the extent set forth in the Agreement relating to an award, or (E) any combination of
(A) and (B). Shares of Common Stock to be delivered or withheld may not have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of the amount determined by applying the minimum statutory withholding rate. Any fraction of a share of Common Stock which
would be required to satisfy such an obligation shall be disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the holder 
 5.6.
Restrictions on Shares. Each award made hereunder shall be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Company determines that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject to such award upon any
securities exchange or under any law, or the consent or approval of any governmental body, or the taking of any other action is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the vesting, exercise or settlement of such award or the
delivery of shares thereunder, such award shall not vest, be exercised or settled and such shares shall not be delivered unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent, approval or other action shall have been effected or obtained, free
of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. In addition, the Committee may condition the grant of an award on compliance with certain listing, registration or other qualifications applicable to the award under any law or any obligation to
obtain the consent or approval of a governmental body. The Company may require that certificates or other indicia of ownership evidencing shares of Common Stock delivered 

  

 -18- 








 
pursuant to any award made hereunder bear a legend indicating that the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof by the holder is prohibited except in
compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. 
 5.7. Adjustment. In the event of any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares, liquidation, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than a
regular cash dividend, the number, class and kind of securities (including, for this purpose, securities of any other entity that is a party to any such transaction) available under this Plan, the maximum number of securities available for Stock
Awards and Performance Grants, the number, class and kind of securities (including, for this purpose, securities of any other entity that is a party to any such transaction) subject to each outstanding Stock Option and the purchase price per
security, the terms of each outstanding Stock Option, the maximum number of securities with respect to which Stock Options or SARs (or a combination thereof), or Stock Awards or Performance Grants may be made or granted during any calendar year to
any person, the number, class and kind of securities (including, for this purpose, securities of any other entity that is a party to any such transaction) subject to each outstanding SAR and the base price per SAR, the terms of each outstanding SAR,
the number, class and kind of securities (including, for this purpose, securities of any other entity that is a party to any such transaction) subject to each outstanding Stock Award or Performance Grant, and the terms of each outstanding Stock
Award or Performance Grant shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, such adjustments to be made in the case of outstanding Stock Options and SARs without an increase in the aggregate purchase price or base price. The decision of the
Committee regarding any such adjustment shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any such adjustment would result in a fractional security being (a) available under this Plan, such fractional security shall be disregarded, or (b) subject
to an award under this Plan, the Company shall pay the holder of such award, in connection with the adjustment or first vesting, exercise or settlement of such award in whole or in part occurring after such adjustment, as the Committee may determine
, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the fraction of such security (rounded to the nearest hundredth) by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value on the vesting, exercise or settlement date over (B) the
exercise or base price, if any, of such award. 
 5.8. Change in Control. As of the effective date of a Change in Control (a) each
outstanding Stock Option and SAR granted under the Plan shall become fully vested and exercisable, (b) the Restriction Period applicable to each outstanding Stock Award granted under the Plan shall lapse, (c) the Performance Period
applicable to any outstanding Performance Grant issued under the Plan shall lapse, and (d) the Performance Measures applicable to any outstanding award under the Plan shall be deemed to be satisfied at the target level (or if greater, at the
performance level actually attained). Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, each Stock Option or SAR granted to a holder whose employment is terminated for an eligible reason according to the terms of the Company severance
policy applicable to the holder as of the effective date of a Change in Control during the period commencing on and ending twenty-four months after the effective date of the Change in Control shall remain exercisable by such holder (or his or her
legal representative or similar person) until the earlier of (y) the end of the severance period applicable to the holder under such severance policy or, if later, the end of the otherwise applicable Post-Termination Exercise Period, or
(z) the expiration date of the term of the Stock Option or SAR. 
  

 -19- 








 5.9. No Right of Participation or Employment. No person shall have any right to participate in this Plan.
Neither this Plan nor any award made hereunder shall confer upon any person any right to continued employment by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company or affect in any manner the right of the Company, any Subsidiary or any
Affiliate of the Company to terminate the employment of any person at any time without liability hereunder. 
 5.10. Rights as Stockholder. No
person shall have any right as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other equity security of the Company which is subject to an award hereunder unless and until such person becomes a stockholder of record with
respect to such shares of Common Stock or equity security. 
 5.11. Designation of Beneficiary. If permitted by the Committee, the holder of an
award may file with the Committee a written designation of one or more persons as such holder’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (both primary and contingent) in the event of the holder’s death. To the extent an outstanding Stock Option or SAR
granted hereunder is exercisable, such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall be entitled to exercise such Stock Option or SAR to the extent permitted under local law. 
 Each beneficiary designation shall become effective only when filed in writing with the Committee during the holder’s lifetime on a form prescribed by the Committee. The spouse of a married holder domiciled in a
community property jurisdiction shall join in any designation of a beneficiary other than such spouse. The filing with the Committee of a new beneficiary designation shall cancel all previously filed beneficiary designations. 
 If a holder fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all designated beneficiaries of a holder predecease the holder, then each outstanding Stock Option
and SAR hereunder held by such holder, to the extent exercisable, may be exercised by such holder’s executor, administrator, legal representative or similar person. 
 5.12. Governing Law. This Plan, each award hereunder and the related Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant thereto, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the
laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws. 
 5.13. Replacement and Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, any Stock Option or Stock Award that is intended to be a Replacement or Substitute Award granted in
connection with the spin-off of the Company shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original First Data award to which it relates; provided, however that such awards shall be administered by the Committee. 
 5.14. Foreign Employees. The Committee may adopt, amend or rescind rules, procedures or sub-plans relating to the operation and administration of the Plan
to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures and to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of this Plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules,
procedures and sub-plans with provisions that limit or modify rights on death, Disability or Retirement or on termination of employment; available methods of exercise or settlement of an award; payment of income, social insurance contributions and
payroll taxes; the withholding procedures and handling of any stock certificates or other indicia of ownership 

  

 -20- 








 
which vary with local requirements. The Committee may also adopt rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries, Affiliates or
locations. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, with the exception of Sections 1.5 and 5.2, but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the
operation of such sub-plan. 
 5.15. Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an award holder
employed by or providing service to an entity that is a Subsidiary or an Affiliate under this Plan shall be deemed to have terminated employment with or service to the Company for purposes of this Plan on the date that such entity ceases to be a
Subsidiary or an Affiliate hereunder.
