PARTIES

                              CERIDIAN CORPORATION
                           3311 EAST OLD SHAKOPEE ROAD

                                       AND

                                RONALD L. TURNER
                                  ("EXECUTIVE")

DATE: JANUARY 29, 2002

RECITALS

A.    Ceridian wishes to obtain the services of Executive for the duration of
      this Agreement, and Executive wishes to provide services for such period.

B.    Ceridian desires reasonable protection of Ceridian's Confidential
      Information (as defined below).p

C.    Ceridian desires assurance that Executive will not compete with Ceridian,
      engage in recruitment of Ceridian's employees or make disparaging
      statements about Ceridian after termination of employment, and Executive
      is willing to refrain from such competition, recruitment and
      disparagement.

D.    Executive desires to be assured of a minimum Base Salary (as defined
      below) from Ceridian for Executive's services for the term of this
      Agreement.

E.    It is expressly recognized by the parties that Executive's acceptance of,
      and continuance in, Executive's position with Ceridian and agreement to be
      bound by the terms of this Agreement represents a substantial commitment
      to Ceridian in terms of Executive's personal and professional career and a
      foregoing of present and future career options by Executive, for all of
      which Ceridian receives substantial value.

F.    The parties recognize that a Change of Control (as defined below) may
      result in material alteration or diminishment of Executive's position and
      responsibilities and substantially frustrate the purpose of Executive's
      commitment to Ceridian and forbearance of career options.


                                       1

G.    The parties recognize that in light of the above-described commitment and
      forbearance of career options, it is essential that, for the benefit of
      Ceridian and its stockholders, provision be made for the possibility of a
      Change of Control Termination (as defined below) in order to enable
      Executive to accept and effectively continue in Executive's position in
      the face of inherently disruptive circumstances arising from the
      possibility of a Change of Control of Ceridian Corporation (as defined
      below), although no such change is now contemplated or foreseen.

H.    The parties wish to replace any and all employment and Change of Control
      agreements between Executive and Ceridian Corporation.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's acceptance of and continuance in
Executive's employment for the term of this Agreement and the parties' agreement
to be bound by the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

3.01  BASE SALARY. For all services rendered under this Agreement during the

      the annual rate currently being paid or, if Executive is not currently in

      accounts promptly for such expenses to Ceridian in the manner prescribed
      from time to time by Ceridian.

3.04  SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT BENEFIT.

      (a)   ENTITLEMENT.

            (1)   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Subject to Sections 3.04(a)(2),
                  3.04(a)(3) and 3.04(a)(4), Executive shall be entitled to a
                  supplemental retirement benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04
                  following his termination of employment with Ceridian at any
                  time for any reason.

            (2)   FORFEITURE. Executive or his surviving spouse, as the case may
                  be, shall not be entitled to receive or retain a supplemental
                  retirement benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04 if (A)
                  Executive's employment with Ceridian terminates or is
                  terminated for any reason prior to his attainment of age 62
                  (other than pursuant to a Change of Control Termination) and
                  (B) Executive breached or breaches any of his obligations
                  arising under Articles V or VI of this Agreement. If, after
                  Executive or his surviving spouse, as the case may be, has
                  received a benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04, Ceridian
                  determines that Executive is not entitled to the benefit,
                  Executive or his surviving spouse, as the case may be, shall
                  promptly repay to Ceridian the benefit payment previously
                  received pursuant to this Section 3.04 together with interest
                  on such payment for the period beginning on the date on which
                  it was paid to Executive or his surviving spouse, as the case
                  may be, and ending on the date on which it is repaid to
                  Ceridian at the prime rate of interest (or such comparable
                  index as may be adopted) established from time to time by the
                  Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, New
                  York, New York, or its successor in interest, as in effect
                  from time to time during the period in question.

            (3)   DEATH. Except as provided in Section 3.04(d), no benefit shall
                  be paid pursuant to this Section 3.04 to Executive or any
                  other person if Executive's employment with Ceridian
                  terminates because of Executive's death or if Executive dies
                  after his termination of employment with Ceridian but before
                  his supplemental retirement benefit pursuant to this Section
                  3.04 is paid to Executive.

            (4)   OTHER CONDITIONS. As a condition to receiving any benefit
                  pursuant to this Section 3.04, Executive or his surviving
                  spouse, as the case may be, agrees to provide to Ceridian on a
                  timely basis any such information as Ceridian may reasonably
                  request to determine the entitlement of Executive or his
                  surviving spouse, as the case may be, to a benefit pursuant to
                  this Section 3.04 or the amount or timing of the benefit
                  payment or to resolve any other issue or assist Ceridian in
                  making any determination regarding the benefit.


                                       5

      (b)   COMMENCEMENT AND FORM. The benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04
            shall be paid on or as soon as administratively practicable after
            the Determination Date in the form of a lump sum cash payment.

      (c)   AMOUNT.

            (1)   DETERMINATION DATE ON OR AFTER AGE 60. If the Determination
                  Date is on or after the date on which Executive attains age
                  60, the amount of Executive's benefit pursuant to this Section
                  3.04 shall be a lump sum amount that is actuarially equivalent
                  to a monthly benefit, paid in the Normal Form and commencing
                  as of the Determination Date, equal to one-twelfth of the
                  excess of:

                  (A)   the sum of

                        (i)   the product of Executive's Final Average Pay
                              multiplied by his Years of Service through the
                              calendar year during which he attains age 62 (or,
                              if earlier, through the date on which he
                              terminates employment) multiplied by .025 plus

                        (ii)  the product of Executive's Final Average Pay
                              multiplied by his Years of Service, if any,
                              following the calendar year during which he
                              attains age 62 multiplied by .0167;

                        over

                  (B)   the Offset Amount.

            (2)   DETERMINATION DATE BEFORE AGE 60. If the Determination Date is
                  before the date on which Executive attains age 60, the amount
                  of Executive's benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be
                  a lump sum amount that is actuarially equivalent to a monthly
                  benefit, paid in the Normal Form and commencing as of the
                  Determination Date, equal to one-twelfth of the excess of:

                  (A)   the product of Executive's Final Average Pay multiplied
                        by his Years of Service multiplied by .025, reduced by
                        one-fourth of one percent for each month by which the
                        Determination Date precedes the first day of the month
                        coinciding with or next following the date on which
                        Executive attains age 60;

                        over

                  (B)   the Offset Amount.

            (3)   ACTUARIAL EQUIVALENCE. For the purpose of this Section
                  3.04(c), actuarial equivalence for a given Determination Date
                  shall be based on the annual interest rate on 30-year Treasury
                  securities for the month of November of


                                       6
<PAGE>

                  the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year that
                  includes the Determination Date, as determined in accordance
                  with published guidance from the Internal Revenue Service
                  pursuant to Section 417(e)(3) of the Code (as defined in
                  Section 7.1(e)) and mortality rates per the "applicable
                  mortality table" published in Revenue Ruling 95-6 or other
                  applicable guidance from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant
                  to Section 417(e)(3) of the Code in effect as of the
                  Determination Date.

      (d)   DEATH BENEFITS.

            (1)   DEATH BEFORE DETERMINATION DATE. If Executive dies before the
                  Determination Date, his surviving spouse, if any, shall,
                  subject to Sections 3.04(a)(2) and 3.04(a)(4), be entitled to
                  a surviving spouse benefit. The benefit shall be paid to
                  Executive's surviving spouse on or as soon as administratively
                  practicable after the Determination Date in the form of a lump
                  sum cash payment. The amount of the surviving spouse benefit
                  pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(1) shall be equal to fifty
                  percent (50%) of the amount of the supplemental retirement
                  benefit that would have been paid to Executive pursuant to
                  this Section 3.04 had he terminated employment on the date of
                  his death (or, if earlier, on the actual date on which he
                  terminated employment) and lived until he received his
                  supplemental retirement benefit. If Executive's surviving
                  spouse dies after becoming entitled to a surviving spouse
                  benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04(d)(1) but before the
                  benefit is paid to the surviving spouse, the benefit shall be
                  paid to the surviving spouse's estate at the same time the
                  benefit would have been paid to the surviving spouse had she
                  lived.

            (2)   DEATH ON OR AFTER DETERMINATION DATE. If Executive dies on or
                  after the Determination Date but before payment of his
                  supplemental retirement benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04,
                  the benefit that would have been paid to Executive had he
                  lived shall, subject to Sections 3.04(a)(2) and 3.04(a)(4), be
                  paid to Executive's estate at the same time the benefit would
                  have been paid to Executive had he lived.

      (e)   NONASSIGNABILITY. The benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04 and the
            right to receive a future benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04 may
            not be anticipated, alienated, sold, transferred, assigned, pledged,
            encumbered or subjected to any charge or legal process.

      (f)   RABBI TRUST. Ceridian may, but is not required to, provide for
            payment of the benefit pursuant to this Section 3.04 through a
            trust. The trust must (1) be a grantor trust with respect to which
            Ceridian is treated as the grantor, (2) not cause benefits under
            this Section 3.04 to be funded for federal income tax purposes or
            for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
            as amended, and (3) provide that trust assets will, upon Ceridian's
            insolvency, be used to satisfy the claims of Ceridian's general
            creditors. If Ceridian elects to


                                       7
<PAGE>

            provide benefits through such a trust, neither Executive nor o his
            surviving spouse shall have any interest in the assets of the trust.

      (g)   NATURE OF INTEREST. Nothing contained in this Section 3.04 is to be
            construed as providing for assets to be held for the benefit of
            Executive or his surviving spouse. If Executive or his surviving
            spouse acquires a right to receive benefit payments pursuant to this
            Section 3.04, that right is no greater than the right of any
            unsecured general creditor of Ceridian.

      (h)   DETERMINATIONS. Ceridian shall make all determinations as to
            entitlement, amount and timing of any benefit payment pursuant to
            this Section 3.04. Ceridian shall have discretionary power and
            authority to interpret, construe, apply, enforce and otherwise
            administer the terms of this Section 3.04 and any reasonable
            determination made by Ceridian in good faith shall be binding and
            conclusive on Executive and his surviving spouse. Any determination
            by Ceridian denying a claim by Executive or his surviving spouse
            shall be stated in writing and shall set forth the specific reason
            for the denial. Ceridian shall afford a reasonable opportunity to
            the claimant for a full and fair review of the determination denying
            the claim. A claimant must exhaust the procedure described in this
            Section 3.04(h) before pursuing the claim in any other proceeding.

      (i)   SPECIAL DEFINITIONS. The definitions set forth in this Section
            3.04(i) apply in construing this Section 3.04 unless the context
            otherwise indicates. Other terms used in this Section 3.04 have the
            meanings ascribed to them in Article I of this Agreement. In
            addition, the general provisions of Article IX of this Agreement
            apply to this Section 3.04 unless the context otherwise indicates.

            (1)   "CERIDIAN" means, for purposes of Sections 3.04(a)(4),
                  3.04(f), and 3.04(h), Ceridian Corporation and any successor
                  in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger
                  or otherwise, but not any Subsidiary.

            (2)   "DETERMINATION DATE means the first day of the fourth calendar
                  month following Executive's termination of employment with
                  Ceridian.

            (3)   "FINAL AVERAGE PAY" means Executive's "final average pay" as
                  defined in the Retirement Plan but determined by disregarding
                  any part of the definition of final average pay in the
                  Retirement Plan that is included for the purpose of complying
                  with Section 401(a)(17) of the Code (within the meaning of
                  Section 7.01(e)). If the Retirement Plan is terminated
                  effective as of a date that is before the date on which
                  Executive terminates employment with Ceridian, the previous
                  sentence shall be applied after the effective date of the
                  termination of the Retirement Plan based on the definition of
                  final average pay in effect under the Retirement Plan on the
                  effective date of the termination of the Retirement Plan as if
                  the Retirement Plan had continued in effect.

            (4)   "NORMAL FORM" means monthly payments to Executive for his life
                  with the last payment made for the month during which
                  Executive dies and with no death benefits payable to any
                  person.

            (5)   "OFFSET AMOUNT" means the annual benefit to which Executive
                  would be entitled under the "offset plans" if his benefit
                  under the offset plans commenced as of the Determination Date
                  and was paid in the Normal Form, based on the terms of the
                  offset plans in effect and applicable to Executive on the
                  Determination Date or, if earlier, as of the effective date of
                  the termination of an offset plan. If the Determination Date
                  is before the earliest date on which Executive's benefit could
                  commence under an offset plan, the Offset Amount with respect
                  to that offset plan shall be determined by calculating the
                  Offset Amount as of the earliest date on which Executive's
                  benefit could commence under the offset plan and then reducing
                  that benefit by one fourth of one percent for each month by
                  which the offset date precedes the earliest date on which
                  Executive's benefit could commence under the offset plan. The
                  Offset Amount shall be determined without regard to the actual
                  timing of commencement and form of Executive's benefit
                  pursuant to the offset plans. For the purpose of this Section
                  3.04(i)(5), the offset plans are the Retirement Plan, the
                  Ceridian Corporation Benefit Equalization Plan and any defined
                  benefit pension plan maintained by any previous employer of
                  Executive which was or is operated by such previous employer
                  as a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Code
                  (within the meaning of Section 7.01(e)), or any successor to
                  any such plans.

            (6)   "RETIREMENT PLAN" means the Ceridian Corporation Retirement
                  Plan as from time to time amended.

            (7)   "YEARS OF SERVICE" means (A) each calendar year from and
                  including 1993 through and including 2000 and (B) each
                  calendar year after 2000 and before 2012 during any part of
                  which Executive is an employee of Ceridian (as classified by
                  Ceridian at the time without regard to any subsequent
                  retroactive reclassification). Executive shall not be credited
                  with any Years of Service for any period of employment with
                  Ceridian after 2011.

3.05  SUPPLEMENTAL DISABILITY BENEFITS.

      (a)   ENTITLEMENT. Executive will be entitled to the Supplemental
            Long-Term Disability Benefit coverages under this section as long as
            Executive continues employment with Ceridian.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      (b)   DISABILITY BENEFITS. Executive will be entitled to coverage under a
            policy of insurance or a self-insured arrangement that, when coupled
            with the coverage otherwise provided to Executive under the Ceridian
            Long-Term Disability Insurance Plan, will provide a benefit equal to
            65% of his compensation (as defined for purposes of the Long-Term
            Disability Insurance Plan without regard to any dollar limits under
            such plan), if Executive becomes disabled (within the meaning of the
            plan). Executive will also be entitled to coverage under a policy of
            insurance or a self-insured arrangement that, when coupled with the
            coverage otherwise provided to Executive under the Ceridian
            catastrophic disability insurance plan for executives, will provide
            a benefit equal to 35% of his compensation (as defined for purposes
            of the catastrophic disability plan without regard to any dollar
            limits under such plan), if Executive incurs a catastrophic
            disability (within the meaning of the plan). Benefits under this
            provision will be payable at the same time and under the same
            conditions as benefits would be payable under the corresponding
            Ceridian benefit plan.

                                   ARTICLE IV

4.01  EARLY TERMINATION. This Article shall not apply to a Change of Control

      pursuant to Articles V, VI, and IX.

4.02  TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and

            perform his duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to
            Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days
            after a written demand for such performance which specifically
            identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not
            attempted in good faith to perform such duties.


                                       10
<PAGE>

            In the event of termination for cause pursuant to this Section 4.02,
            Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of Executive's annual Base
            Salary through the date of termination specified in any written
            notice of termination.

4.03  TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Either Executive or Ceridian may terminate this
      Agreement and Executive's employment without cause on at least 75 days'
      written notice. In the event of termination of this Agreement and of
      Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4.03, compensation shall
      be paid as follows:

      (a)   if the notice of termination is given by Executive, Executive shall
            be paid at the usual rate of his annual Base Salary through the 75
            day notice period;

      (b)   if the notice of termination is given by Ceridian, (1) Executive
            shall be paid at the usual rate of his annual Base Salary through
            the 75 day notice period, however, Ceridian shall have the option of
            making termination of the Agreement and Executive's employment
            effective immediately upon notice in which case Executive shall be
            paid a lump sum representing the value of 75 days worth of salary;
            and (2) Executive shall receive, starting within 15 days after the
            end of the 75 day notice period, three years' annual Base Salary and
            annual perquisite cash adder payable, at the sole discretion of
            Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular
            payroll period basis. In addition, Executive shall receive the
            bonus, if any, to which Executive would otherwise have become
            entitled under all applicable Ceridian annual bonus plans in effect
            at the time of termination of this Agreement had Executive remained
            continuously employed for the full fiscal year in which termination
            occurred and continued to perform his duties in the same manner as
            they were performed immediately prior to termination, multiplied by
            a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole
            months Executive was employed in the year in which termination
            occurred and the denominator of which is 12. This bonus amount shall
            be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been
            paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. In
            addition, Ceridian shall provide or make arrangements for reasonable
            outplacement services for Executive based on his level within
            Ceridian. The payment and provision of the severance payments and
            benefits provided for in this Section 4.03 are conditioned upon
            Executive executing a release, similar to that attached as Exhibit
            A, of all claims against Ceridian.

4.04  TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement shall
      terminate in the event of death or Disability of Executive.

      (a)   In the event of Executive's death, Ceridian shall pay an amount
            equal to 12 months of Base Salary and annual perquisite cash adder
            at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's death plus the
            amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus
            for the year in which the death occurs had "target" goals been
            achieved. Such amount shall be paid (1) to the beneficiary or
            beneficiaries designated in writing to Ceridian by Executive, (2) in
            the absence of


                                       11
<PAGE>

            such designation to the surviving spouse, or (3) if there is no
            surviving spouse, or such surviving spouse disclaims all or any
            part, then the full amount, or such disclaimed portion, shall be
            paid to the executor, administrator or other personal representative
            of Executive's estate. The amount shall be paid as a lump sum as
            soon as practicable following Ceridian's receipt of notice of
            Executive's death. All such payments shall be in addition to any
            payments due pursuant to Section 4.04(c) below.

      (b)   In the event of Executive's Disability, Base Salary shall be
            terminated as of the end of the month in which the last day of the
            six-month period of Executive's inability to perform his duties
            occurs.

      (c)   In the event of termination by reason of Executive's death or
            Disability, Ceridian shall pay to Executive any amount equal to (1)
            the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan
            bonus for the year in which termination occurs had "target" goals
            been achieved, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which
            shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the
            year in which the death or Disability occurred and the denominator
            of which is 12. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(c)
            shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have
            been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year.

4.05  RETIREMENT.

      (a)   Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment as
            a result of Executive's decision to retire from Ceridian. Executive
            shall provide Ceridian with at least 75 days' written notice of the
            date upon which Executive intends to retire. Executive shall be paid
            at the usual rate of his annual Base Salary and annual perquisite
            cash adder through the date of retirement stipulated in the written
            notice.

      (b)   If Executive terminates employment with Ceridian by retirement after
            attaining 55 years of age and completing five or more years of
            service to Ceridian, then Executive shall, until age 65, be entitled
            to receive from Ceridian health, dental, accidental death and
            dismemberment, and life insurance coverage substantially equivalent
            to the coverage Executive had on the day immediately prior to
            retiring, including any coverage then in effect for Executive's
            spouse, domestic partner or dependents. Executive shall be required
            to pay no more for the above mentioned benefits than Executive paid
            as an active employee immediately prior to Executive's retirement.

4.06  ENTIRE TERMINATION PAYMENT. The compensation provided for in this Article
      IV for early termination of this Agreement and termination pursuant to
      this Article IV shall constitute Executive's sole remedy for such
      termination. Executive shall not be entitled to any other termination or
      severance payment which may be payable to Executive under any other
      agreement between Executive and Ceridian.

<PAGE>

      Minnesota Statutes, Section 181.78, reproduced below and constituting the

      181.78 Agreements; terms relating to inventions

      Subdivision 1.

      Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee
      shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee's rights in an
      invention to the employer shall not apply to an invention for which no
      equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer
      was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and
      (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or
      (b) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or
      development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the

      subdivision 1 as a condition of employment or continuing employment.

      Subdivision 3.

      IF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER AUGUST 1, 1977, CONTAINS A
      PROVISION REQUIRING THE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN ANY OF THE
      EMPLOYEE'S RIGHTS IN ANY INVENTION TO AN EMPLOYER, THE EMPLOYER MUST ALSO,
      AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT IS MADE, PROVIDE A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO THE
      EMPLOYEE THAT THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO
      EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE EMPLOYER
      WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN TIME, AND
      (1) WHICH DOES NOT RELATE (a) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER OR

      from this Agreement.

5.07  SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article V shall survive the expiration
      or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment.

                                   ARTICLE VI

             NON-COMPETITION, NON-RECRUITMENT, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT

6.01  GENERAL. The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Executive is a
      senior executive of Ceridian and is a key executive of Ceridian, (b)
      Executive has received, and will in the future receive, substantial
      amounts of Confidential Information, (c) Ceridian's business is conducted
      on a worldwide basis, and (d) provision for non-competition,
      non-recruitment and non-disparagement obligations by Executive is critical
      to Ceridian's continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian's
      Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this Article
      VI sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive's obligations of
      non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement subsequent to the
      termination of this Agreement and/or Executive's employment for any reason
      other than a Change of Control Termination. Sections 6.02 and 6.03 of this
      Agreement shall be of no further force or effect upon a Change of Control
      Termination.

6.02  NON-COMPETITION.

      (a)   During the term of this Agreement, Executive will devote full time
            and energy to furthering Ceridian's business and will not pursue any
            other business activity without Ceridian's written consent. Unless
            the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance with
            subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, Executive agrees that during
            his employment with Ceridian and for a period of three years
            following termination of employment for any reason other than a
            Change of Control Termination ("Non-Compete Period"), Executive will
            not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer,
            director, shareholder or employee of any other firm or entity,
            engage in any commercial activity in competition with any part of
            Ceridian's business as conducted as of the date of such termination
            of employment or with any part of Ceridian's contemplated business
            with respect to which Executive has Confidential Information. For
            purposes of this subsection (a), "shareholder" shall not include
            beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined
            voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a
            publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock
            exchange. Also for purposes of this subsection (a), "Ceridian's
            business" shall include business conducted by Ceridian or its
            affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or
            its affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that,
            "affiliate" as used in this sentence shall not include any
            corporation in which Ceridian has ownership of less than fifteen
            percent (15%) of the voting stock.

      (b)   At its sole option Ceridian may, by written notice to Executive at
            any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time
            and/or geographic area in which Executive cannot engage in
            competitive activity.

      (c)   During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or
            agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which
            offers competitive


                                       15
<PAGE>

            products or services, Executive shall give 30 days prior written
            notice to Ceridian. Such written notice shall describe the firm and
            the employment or consulting services to be rendered to the firm or
            entity, and shall include a copy of the written offer of employment
            or engagement of consulting services. Ceridian's failure to respond
            or object to such notice shall not in any way constitute
            acquiescence or waiver of Ceridian's rights under this Article VI.

      (d)   In the event Executive has provided notice to Ceridian pursuant to
            subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and has not accepted employment
            with or agreed to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity
            directly as a result of his non-competition obligation pursuant to
            this Section 6.02, Ceridian shall pay Executive an amount equal to
            the usual rate of Executive's Base Salary in effect at the time of
            termination on a regular payroll period basis until the end of the
            Non-Compete Period. There shall be credited against Ceridian's
            obligation to make such payments any other payments made by Ceridian
            to Executive pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. In the event
            that Ceridian elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section
            6.02, to waive all or any portion of the non-competition obligation
            set forth in subsection (a) hereof, no payment shall be required by
            Ceridian with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period which
            has been waived.

      (e)   In the event Executive fails to provide notice to Ceridian pursuant
            to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and/or in anyway violates its
            non-competition obligation pursuant to Section 6.02, Ceridian may
            enforce all of its rights and remedies provided to it under this
            Agreement, in law and in equity, and Executive shall be deemed to
            have expressly waived any rights he may have had to payments under
            subsection (d) of this Section 6.02.

6.03  NON-RECRUITMENT. During the term of employment and for a period of three
      years following termination of employment for any reason other than a
      Change of Control Termination, Executive will not directly or indirectly
      hire any of Ceridian's employees, or solicit any of Ceridian's employees
      for the purpose of hiring them or inducing them to leave their employment
      with Ceridian, nor will Executive own, manage, operate, join, control,
      consult with, participate in the ownership, management, operation or
      control of, be employed by, or be connected in any manner with any person
      or entity which engages in the conduct proscribed in this Section 6.03.
      This provision shall not preclude Executive from responding to a request
      (other than by Executive's employer) for a reference with respect to an
      individual's employment qualifications.

6.04  NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not, during the term or after the
      termination or expiration of this Agreement or Executive's employment,
      make disparaging statements, in any form, about Ceridian, its officers,
      directors, agents, employees, products or services which Executive knows,
      or has reason to believe, are false or misleading.

6.05  SURVIVAL AND ENFORCEABILITY. The obligations of this Article VI shall
      survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's
      employment. Should any provision of this Article VI be held invalid or
      illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate


                                       16
<PAGE>

      the whole of this Article VI or the Agreement, but, rather, Article VI
      shall be construed as if it did not contain the illegal part or narrowed
      to permit its enforcement, and the rights and obligations of the parties
      shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In furtherance of and not in
      limitation of the foregoing, Executive expressly agrees that should the
      duration of or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by,
      any provision of this Article VI be in excess of that which is valid or
      enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed
      to cover only that duration, extent or activities that may validly be
      covered. Executive acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect
      and expressly stipulates that this Article VI shall be construed in a
      manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum
      extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.
      This Article VI does not replace and is in addition to any other
      agreements Executive may have with Ceridian on the matters addressed
      herein.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                CHANGE OF CONTROL

7.01  DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article VII, the following definitions
      shall be applied:

      (a)   "BENEFIT PLAN" means any formal or informal plan, program or other
            arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by Ceridian for the
            direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive (including
            groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which
            Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is
            deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is
            in the form of a benefit to or for Executive.

      (b)   "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean the first of the following events to
            occur:

            (1)   there is consummated a merger or consolidation to which
                  Ceridian or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Ceridian is a
                  party if the merger or consolidation would result in the
                  voting securities of Ceridian outstanding immediately prior to
                  such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either
                  by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting
                  securities of the surviving entity or any parent thereof) less
                  than 60% of the combined voting power of the securities of
                  Ceridian or such surviving entity or any parent thereof
                  outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

            (2)   the direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in
                  Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
                  amended (the "Exchange Act") in the aggregate of securities of
                  Ceridian representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the
                  total combined voting power of Ceridian's then issued and
                  outstanding securities is acquired by any person or entity, or
                  group of associated persons or entities acting in concert;
                  provided, however, that for purposes hereof, the following
                  acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any
                  acquisition by Ceridian or any of


                                       17
<PAGE>

                  its subsidiaries, (B) any acquisition directly from Ceridian
                  or any of its subsidiaries, (C) any acquisition by any
                  employee benefit plan (or related trust or fiduciary)
                  sponsored or maintained by Ceridian or any corporation
                  controlled by Ceridian, (D) any acquisition by an underwriter
                  temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such
                  securities, (E) any acquisition by a corporation owned,
                  directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of Ceridian in
                  substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock
                  of Ceridian, (F) any acquisition in connection with which,
                  pursuant to Rule 13d-1 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange
                  Act, the individual, entity or group is permitted to, and
                  actually does, report its beneficial ownership on Schedule 13G
                  (or any successor Schedule); provided that, if any such
                  individual, entity or group subsequently becomes required to
                  or does report its beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D (or
                  any successor Schedule), then, for purposes of this paragraph,
                  such individual, entity or group shall be deemed to have first
                  acquired, on the first date on which such individual, entity
                  or group becomes required to or does so report on Schedule
                  13D, beneficial ownership of all of the voting securities of
                  Ceridian beneficially owned by it on such date, and (G) any
                  acquisition in connection with a merger or consolidation
                  which, pursuant to paragraph (1) above, does not constitute a
                  Change of Control; or

            (3)   there is consummated a transaction contemplated by an
                  agreement for the sale or disposition by Ceridian of all or
                  substantially all of Ceridian's assets, other than a sale or
                  disposition by Ceridian of all or substantially all of
                  Ceridian's assets to an entity, at least 60% of the combined
                  voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by
                  stockholders of Ceridian in substantially the same proportions
                  as their ownership of Ceridian immediately prior to such sale;
                  or

            (4)   the stockholders of Ceridian approve any plan or proposal for
                  the liquidation of Ceridian; or

            (5)   a change in the composition of the Board such that the
                  "Continuity Directors" cease for any reason to constitute at
                  least a majority of the Board. For purposes of this clause,
                  "Continuity Directors" means (A) those members of the Board
                  who were directors on the date hereof and (B) those members of
                  the Board (other than a director whose initial assumption of
                  office was in connection with an actual or threatened election
                  contest, including but not limited to a consent solicitation,
                  relating to the election of directors of Ceridian) who were
                  elected or appointed by, or on the nomination or
                  recommendation of, at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the
                  then-existing directors who either were directors on the date
                  hereof or were previously so elected or appointed; or


                                       18
<PAGE>

            (6)   such other event or transaction as the Board shall determine
                  constitutes a Change of Control.

      (c)   "CHANGE OF CONTROL COMPENSATION" means any payment or benefit
            (including any transfer of property) in the nature of compensation,
            to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement or any Other
            Agreement or Benefit Plan, which is considered to be contingent on a
            change in the ownership or effective control of Ceridian for
            purposes of Section 280G of the Code.

      (d)   "CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION" means, with respect to Executive,
            either of the following events occurring on or within two years
            after a Change of Control:

                  (1)   Termination of Executive's employment by Ceridian for
                        any reason other than (A) fraud, (B) theft or
                        embezzlement of Ceridian assets, (C) intentional
                        violations of law involving moral turpitude, or (D)
                        failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics
                        policies; or

                  (2)   Termination of employment with Ceridian by Executive for
                        Good Reason.

            A Change of Control Termination by Executive shall not, however,
            include termination by reason of death or Disability. A termination
            of Executive's employment by Ceridian shall not constitute a
            termination described in clauses (A) through (D) of Section
            7.01(d)(1) unless (i) there has been delivered to Executive by the
            Board, at least 10 days prior to such termination, a written notice
            which specifically identifies conduct described in clauses (A), (B),
            (C) or (D) of Section 7.01(d)(1) in which the Board believes
            Executive has engaged and provides Executive an opportunity to cure
            such conduct and (ii) the Board has duly adopted (following the
            expiration of the aforementioned cure period) a resolution, by the
            affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire
            membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board which was called
            and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after
            reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the
            Executive, together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before
            the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the
            Executive was guilty of conduct described in clauses (A), (B), (C)
            or (D) of Section 7.01(d)(1), and specifying the particulars thereof
            in detail. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive's employment
            shall be deemed to have been terminated pursuant to a Change of
            Control Termination, if Executive's employment is terminated by
            Ceridian other than for the reasons described in clauses (A) through
            (D) of Section 7.01(d)(1) during the pendency of a Potential Change
            of Control and Executive reasonably demonstrates that such
            termination was at the request or direction of a person or entity
            who has entered into an agreement, the consummation of which would
            result in a Change of Control, or is otherwise in connection with or
            in anticipation of a Change of Control (whether or not a Change of
            Control ever occurs). For purposes of this Agreement, in the event
            of a termination described in the preceding sentence, a Change of
            Control


                                       19
<PAGE>

            will be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the termination
            of Executive's employment for purposes of this Agreement.

      (e)   "CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any
            reference to a section of the Code shall include the corresponding
            section of such Code as from time to time amended.

      (f)   "GOOD REASON" means a good faith determination by Executive, in
            Executive's sole and absolute judgment, that any one or more of the
            following events has occurred, without Executive's express written
            consent on or after a Change of Control:

            (1)   A change in Executive's reporting responsibilities, titles or
                  office as in effect immediately prior to the Change of
                  Control, or any removal of Executive from, or any failure to
                  re-elect Executive to, any of such positions, which has the
                  effect of materially diminishing Executive's responsibility or
                  authority (it being expressly understood that Executive shall
                  have Good Reason if he ceases to be an executive officer of a
                  publicly-held corporation);

            (2)   A reduction by Ceridian in Executive's Base Salary, bonus
                  opportunity or annual perquisite cash adder as in effect
                  immediately prior to the Change of Control or as the same may
                  be increased from time to time thereafter or any failure by
                  Ceridian to pay any portion of Executive's compensation when
                  due;

            (3)   Ceridian requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than
                  within 50 miles of Executive's job location at the time of the
                  Change of Control;

            (4)   Without replacement by plans, programs, or arrangements which,
                  taken as a whole, provide benefits to Executive at least
                  reasonably comparable to those discontinued or adversely
                  affected, (A) the failure by Ceridian to continue in effect,
                  any pension, bonus, incentive, stock ownership, purchase,
                  option, life insurance, health, accident, disability, or any
                  other employee compensation or benefit plan, program or
                  arrangement, in which Executive is participating immediately
                  prior to a Change of Control; or (B) the taking of any action
                  by Ceridian that would materially and adversely affect
                  Executive's participation or materially reduce Executive's
                  benefits under any of such plans, programs or arrangements;

            (5)   The failure by Ceridian to provide office space, furniture,
                  and secretarial support at least comparable to that provided
                  Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control or the
                  taking of any similar action by Ceridian that would materially
                  adversely affect the working conditions in or under which
                  Executive performs his employment duties;


                                       20
<PAGE>

            (6)   If Executive's primary employment duties are with a
                  Subsidiary, the sale, merger, contribution, transfer or any
                  other transaction in conjunction with which Parent
                  Corporation's ownership interest in such Subsidiary decreases
                  below the level specified in Section 1.07 of Article I unless
                  (A) this Agreement is assigned to the purchaser/transferee
                  with the provisions of Article VII in full force and effect
                  and operative as if a Change of Control has occurred with
                  respect to the purchaser/transferee as Parent Corporation
                  immediately after the purchase/transfer becomes effective, and
                  (B) such purchaser/transferee has a creditworthiness
                  reasonably equivalent to Parent Corporation's; or

            (7)   Any material breach of this Agreement by Ceridian.

            Executive's right to terminate employment for Good Reason shall not
            be affected by Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental
            illness. Executive's continued employment shall not constitute
            consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any event
            constituting Good Reason hereunder.

      (g)   "OTHER AGREEMENTS" means any agreement, contract or understanding
            heretofore or hereafter entered into between Executive and Ceridian
            for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive.

      (h)   "POTENTIAL CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall be deemed to have occurred if
            the event set forth in any one of the following subsections shall
            have occurred: (A) Ceridian enters into an agreement, the
            consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change of
            Control; (B) Ceridian or any person or entity publicly announces an
            intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if
            consummated, would constitute a Change of Control; (C) any person
            becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
            Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Ceridian
            representing 15% or more of either the then outstanding shares of
            common stock of Ceridian or the combined voting power of Ceridian's
            then outstanding securities; or (D) the Board adopts a resolution to
            the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change
            of Control has occurred.

7.02  TERMINATION BY EXECUTIVE. The termination of Executive's employment as
      described in Section 7.01(d)(2) shall be accomplished by, and effective
      upon, Executive giving written notice to Ceridian of Executive's decision
      to terminate. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
      upon the exercise of said right, all obligations and duties of Executive
      under this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect.

7.03  CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION PAYMENT.

      (a)   In the event of a Change of Control Termination, Ceridian shall,
            within five days of such termination, make a lump sum payment to
            Executive in an amount equal to three times the sum of (i) 12 months
            of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's
            termination (without giving effect to any reduction in Base Salary
            constituting Good Reason), (ii) the bonus, if any, that Executive
            would have earned under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans for the
            year in which the termination occurs had "superior" goals been
            achieved (without giving effect to any reduction in bonus
            opportunity constituting Good Reason), and (iii) the annual
            perquisite cash adder Executive would have received in the year in
            which the termination occurs (without giving effect to any reduction
            in the annual perquisite cash adder constituting Good Reason).
            Ceridian shall also pay to Executive, within five days of such
            termination, a prorated portion of Executive's bonus compensation
            for the fiscal year in which the Change of Control Termination
            occurs (assuming that any applicable performance objectives were
            achieved at the "target" level of performance and without giving
            effect to any reduction in bonus opportunity constituting Good
            Reason) calculated by multiplying (A) the maximum achievable amount
            of such bonus compensation by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which
            is the number of days in the applicable fiscal year through the date
            of termination and the denominator of which is 365.

      (b)   In addition to the payments pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof, in
            the event of a Change of Control Termination, Ceridian shall provide
            also to Executive a pension supplement equivalent to the difference,
            if any, between: (i) the monthly benefits to which Executive would
            have been entitled under the defined benefit pension plan or plans
            in which Executive participates immediately prior to the Change of
            Control Termination which includes an additional three years of age
            and service; and (ii) the amount to which Executive is, in fact,
            entitled under such defined benefit pension plan or plans.
            Executive's supplemental retirement benefit pursuant to Section 3.04
            shall not be considered a defined benefit pension plan in which
            Executive participates immediately prior to the Change of Control
            Termination for the purpose of this Section 7.03(b).

      (c)   In addition to the payments pursuant to Section 7.03(a) and Section
            7.03(b), in the event of a Change of Control Termination, in
            determining Executive's supplemental retirement benefit pursuant to
            Section 3.04:

            (1)   An additional three years of age and Years of Service shall be
                  added to Executive's actual age and Years of Service (the
                  additional Years of Service shall not be limited by the final
                  sentence of Section 3.04 (i)(7)); and

            (2)   the benefit shall not be reduced for commencement before age
                  60 pursuant to Section 3.04(c)(2), if applicable.


                                       22
<PAGE>

      (d)   Neither the payments made pursuant to Section 7.03(a), the pension
            supplement provided pursuant to Section 7.03(b) or the additional
            supplemental retirement benefits provided pursuant to Section 3.04
            due to the adjustments pursuant to Section 7.03(c) nor any other
            compensation to be provided to Executive by Ceridian pursuant to
            this Agreement or any Other Agreement or Benefit Plan which may be
            considered Change of Control Compensation shall be subject to any
            limitation on Change of Control Compensation which may otherwise be
            expressed in any such Other Agreement or Benefit Plan.

      (e)   Following a Change of Control Termination, Ceridian shall provide
            Executive with outplacement services suitable to the Executive's
            position for a period of three years or, if earlier, until the first
            acceptance by the Executive of an offer of employment. Following a
            Change of Control Termination, Ceridian shall reimburse Executive
            for all customary relocation expenses incurred by Executive in one
            move out of Executive's state of residence within the one year
            period following such Change of Control Termination.

      (f)   In the event of a Change of Control Termination, all outstanding
            Ceridian options and other equity awards held by Executive shall
            become fully vested and exercisable and, if applicable, free from
            all restrictions.

      (g)   The payments and benefits described in this Article VII shall be
            conditioned upon Executive executing (and not effectively
            rescinding) a release of claims against Ceridian substantially
            identical to that attached as Exhibit A hereto.

7.04  TAX REIMBURSEMENT.

      (a)   Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the
            event it shall be determined that any payments or distributions by
            Ceridian, any person or entity whose actions result in a Change of
            Control or any person or entity affiliated with the Company or such
            person or entity, to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid
            or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of
            this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any
            payments required under this Section 7.04) (collectively, the
            "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section
            4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by
            Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together
            with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively
            referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled
            to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount
            such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (and any interest
            or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
            income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment,
            Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the
            Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

      (b)   Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04(d), all determinations
            required to be made under this Section 7.04, including whether and
            when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount such Gross-Up
            Payment and the assumptions to be


                                       23
<PAGE>

            utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by
            Ceridian's external auditors (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall
            provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ceridian and
            Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from
            Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is
            requested by Ceridian. In the event that the Accounting Firm is
            serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group
            effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another
            nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations
            required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to
            as the "Accounting Firm" hereunder). All fees and expenses of the
            Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Ceridian. Any Gross-Up
            Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7.04, shall be paid
            by Ceridian to Executive within five days of the receipt of the
            Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting
            Firm shall be binding upon Ceridian and Executive.

      (c)   As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the
            Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
            hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have
            been made by Ceridian will not have been made ("Underpayment"),
            consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In
            the event that Ceridian exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section
            7.04(d) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of
            any additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the
            amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such
            Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Ceridian to or for the
            benefit of Executive.

      (d)   Executive shall notify Ceridian in writing of any claim by the
            Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority that, if
            successful, would require the payment by Ceridian of any Gross-Up
            Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but
            no later than ten business days after Executive knows of such claim
            and shall apprise Ceridian of the nature of such claim and the date
            on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay
            such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period
            following the date on which it gives such notice to Ceridian (or
            such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes
            with respect to such claim is due). If Ceridian notifies Executive
            in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to
            contest such claim, Executive shall:

                        (i)   give Ceridian any information reasonably requested
                              by Ceridian relating to such claim;

                        (ii)  take such action in connection with contesting
                              such claim as Ceridian shall reasonably request in
                              writing from time to time, including accepting
                              legal representation with respect to such claim by
                              an attorney reasonably selected by Ceridian;


                                       24
<PAGE>

                        (iii) cooperate with Ceridian in good faith in order to
                              effectively contest such claim; and

                        (iv)  permit Ceridian to participate in any proceedings
                              relating to such claim;

            provided, however, that Ceridian shall bear and pay directly all
            costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties)
            incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and
            hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax
            or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect
            thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of
            costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions
            of this Section 7.04(d), Ceridian shall control all proceedings
            taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may
            pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings,
            hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of
            such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to
            pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any
            permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest
            to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of
            initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as
            Ceridian shall determine; provided further, however, that if
            Ceridian directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund,
            Ceridian shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an
            interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless,
            on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including
            interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to
            such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to
            such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute
            of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of
            Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to
            be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore,
            Ceridian's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with
            respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and
            Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may
            be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any
            other taxing authority.

      (e)   If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian
            pursuant to Section 7.04(d), Executive becomes entitled to receive
            any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to
            Ceridian's complying with the requirements of Section 7.04(d))
            promptly pay to Ceridian the amount of such refund (together with
            any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable
            thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced
            by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), a determination is made
            that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to
            such claim and Ceridian does not notify Executive in writing of its
            intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of
            thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be
            forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of
            such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of
            Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.


                                       25
<PAGE>

7.05  INTEREST. In the event Ceridian does not make timely payment in full of
      the Change of Control Termination Payment described in Section 7.03,
      Executive shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid amount at
      the lower of: (a) the prime rate of interest (or such comparable index as
      may be adopted) established from time to time by the Bank of America
      National Trust and Savings Association, New York, New York or its
      successor in interest; or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Section
      280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code.

7.06  ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Executive incurs any legal expense to
      enforce or defend his rights under this Article VII of this Agreement, or
      to recover damages for breach thereof, Executive shall be entitled to
      recover from Ceridian any expenses for attorneys' fees and disbursements
      incurred. Such payments shall be made within five (5) business days after
      delivery of Executive's written requests for payment accompanied with such
      evidence of fees and expenses incurred as Ceridian reasonably may require.

7.07  BENEFITS CONTINUATION. In the event of a Change of Control Termination,
      Executive shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian
      health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, and life insurance
      group coverages substantially equivalent to the group coverage Executive
      had on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, including any
      group coverage then in effect for Executive's spouse, domestic partner or
      dependents, but excluding supplemental disability coverage provided for in
      Section 3.05(b) of this Agreement. Executive shall be required to pay no
      more for the above mentioned benefits than the amount Executive would have
      been required to pay had Executive continued to be an active employee of
      Ceridian. If continuation of any of such coverage is made available to
      employees terminating at age 55 with 15 or more years of service,
      Executive shall be required to pay no more for continuation than is
      required of such employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of
      Control. If the provision of any such coverage to Executive causes
      inclusion of any amount in Executive's gross income that would not have
      been so included had Executive received such coverage as an active
      employee, Ceridian shall pay Executive the amount necessary to wholly
      offset the federal and state income taxes attributable to such amount and
      the tax reimbursement amounts paid pursuant to this sentence.

7.08  MITIGATION; OFFSET. Following a Change of Control Termination, Executive
      is not required to seek other employment or to attempt in any way to
      reduce any amounts payable to the Executive by pursuant to this Article
      VII. The amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement
      shall not be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as the result
      of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset
      against any amount claimed to be owed by Executive to Parent Corporation,
      any Subsidiary or otherwise.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                           CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY STATUS

In the event that, prior to a Change of Control: (a) a Subsidiary is sold,
merged, contributed, or in any other manner transferred, or if for any reason
Parent Corporation's ownership interest in any such Subsidiary falls below the
level specified in Section 1.07, (b) Executive's primary employment duties are
with the Subsidiary at the time of the occurrence of such event, and (c)
Executive does not, in conjunction therewith, transfer employment directly to
Parent Corporation or another Subsidiary, then:

      (1)   If Executive gives his written consent to the assignment of this
            Agreement to such Subsidiary, or to the purchaser or new majority
            interest holder of such Subsidiary, (and such assignment is
            accepted) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect
            between Executive and the assignee, except that the provisions of
            Article VII of this Agreement shall become null and void;

      (2)   If such assignment is not accepted by the Subsidiary or purchaser,
            then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by
            Ceridian without cause pursuant to Section 4.03 of Article IV; and

      (3)   In all other cases, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for
            cause pursuant to Section 4.02 of Article IV.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.01  NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The parties declare that it is impossible to measure
      in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a
      failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and
      therefore injunctive relief is appropriate. Therefore, if either party
      shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof,
      such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives
      the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and
      such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or
      defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law.

9.02  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII, this
      Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
      and assigns of Parent Corporation and each Subsidiary, whether by way of
      merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other
      acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of Ceridian,
      and any such successor or assign shall absolutely and unconditionally
      assume all of Ceridian's obligations hereunder.

      hereto shall, except as otherwise specified herein, be in writing and be
      delivered or mailed to any such party at its address:

            registered or certified mail, shall be deemed dispatched on the
            registered date or that stamped on the certified mail receipt, and
            shall be deemed received within the second business day thereafter
            or when it is actually received, whichever is sooner.

9.04  CAPTIONS. The various headings or captions in this Agreement are for
      convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of
      this Agreement.

9.05  GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and performance of this
      Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and any
      and every legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this
      Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate courts of the State of
      Minnesota, each of the parties hereby consenting to the exclusive
      jurisdiction of said courts for this purpose. The parties hereto expressly
      recognize and agree that the implementation of this Governing Law
      provision is essential in light of the fact that Parent Corporation's
      corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located
      within the State of Minnesota, and there is a critical need for uniformity
      in the interpretation and enforcement of the employment agreements between
      Ceridian and its senior executives.

9.06  CONSTRUCTION. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
      interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable
      law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or

                                     RELEASE

      I, Ronald L. Turner, in consideration of the payments of $_________
subject to appropriate withholding, which includes compensation to which I would
not be otherwise entitled, do, except as specifically provided below, hereby
fully and completely release and waive any and all claims, complaints, causes of
action or demands of whatever kind which I have or may have against Ceridian
Corporation, its predecessors, successors, subsidiaries and affiliates and all
past and present members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees and
agents of those persons and companies ("Ceridian") arising out of any actions,
conduct, decisions, behavior or events occurring up to the date of my execution
of this Release.

      I understand and accept that this Release specifically covers but is not
limited to any and all claims, complaints, causes of action or demands which I
have or may have against the above-referenced released parties relating in any
way to the terms, conditions and circumstances of my employment up to the date
of my signature below, any form of employment discrimination prohibited under
any state's human rights act, Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964
and the Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act. I further understand that
this Release extends to but is not limited to all claims which I may have based
on statutory or common law claims for negligence or other breach of duty,
wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of any express or implied
promise, misrepresentation, fraud, retaliation, breach of public policy,
infliction of emotional distress, defamation, promissory estoppel, failure to
pay wages or any other theory, whether legal or equitable. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, I do not waive my rights to (i) enforce the performance by Ceridian
of its obligations under the Executive Employment Agreement between myself and
Ceridian (including, without limitation, the obligation to make the payments and
provide the benefits described in Article VII thereof if applicable), (ii) any
pension or other employee benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the
applicable plans of Ceridian or any affiliate, which benefits shall be paid or
provided in accordance with the terms of such plans or (iii) indemnification
from Ceridian with respect to my service with Ceridian, whether provided
pursuant to Ceridian's bylaws or otherwise.

      Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed to prohibit me from
filing a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but my release
includes a release of my right to file a court action or to seek individual
remedies or damages in any Equal Employment Opportunity Commission-filed court
action, and my release of these rights shall apply with full force and effect to
any proceedings arising from or relating to such a charge.

      I agree that my only remedy for any dispute I have about the
enforceability of this Release shall be to submit that dispute to final and
binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration
Association. Ceridian and I agree that I must send written notice of any claim
to Ceridian by certified mail, return receipt requested. Written notice to
Ceridian shall be sent to its Secretary at 3311 East Old Shakopee Road,
Minneapolis, MN 55425-1640.

      I understand that I may rescind this Release if I do so in writing,
delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Office of the General
Counsel, Ceridian Corporation, 3311 East


                                       31

Old Shakopee Road, Minneapolis, MN 55425-1640, within fifteen (15) calendar days
of the date of my signature below. Upon the expiration of fifteen (15) calendar
days from the date indicated below, if I have not rescinded this Release, then
Ceridian Corporation shall promptly deliver to me the above-referenced payment,
subject to appropriate withholding, this Release being contingent upon payment
of that sum.

If sent by mail, the rescission must be:

      -     Postmarked within the 15 calendar-day period;
      -     Properly addressed to Ceridian; and
      -     Sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.

      By my signature below, I acknowledge that I fully understand and accept
the terms of this Release, and I represent and agree that my signature is
freely, voluntarily and knowingly given. I have had 21 days in which to consider
this agreement. By my signature below, I further acknowledge that I have been
provided a full opportunity to review and reflect on the terms of this Release
and to seek the advice of legal counsel of my choice, which advice I have been
encouraged to obtain.

      If I do not execute this Release within 30 days after I receive it, the
offer Ceridian has made for a payment herein is null and void.
