 Exhibit 10.7 
 CERIDIAN CORPORATION 
 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN (2002 Revision) 
 First Declaration of Amendment 
 Pursuant to
the retained power of amendment contained in Section 6.2 of the Ceridian Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (2002 Revision), the undersigned hereby amends the Plan in the manner described below. 
 1. This First Declaration of Amendment will apply only to deferrals that are subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, namely deferred
compensation amounts that were deferred, credited or vested on or after January 1, 2005, and earnings credits thereon. Amounts that were deferred, credited and vested under the Plan as of December 31, 2004, and earnings credits
thereon (the “Grandfathered Amount”) will continue to be subject to the terms of the Plan without regard to the First Declaration of Amendment and the Grandfathered Amount is not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the
Code. This First Declaration of Amendment is effective January 1, 2005, except to the extent specifically provided otherwise. For purposes of administering the Plan, including crediting amounts to Participant Accounts and making
payments under the Plan, the Grandfathered Amount will be treated as maintained under a plan that is separate from the non-Grandfathered Amount that is subject to this First Declaration of Amendment. 
 2. Section 2.2(a)(v) is amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2005 to read as follows:

maintained by a Participating Employer, or by any other employer required to be aggregated with the Participating Employer under Code section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o), will have his or her election to defer Base Compensation or Annual Bonus
under the Plan cancelled, with any new election subject to the deferral election requirements of Section 3.2.” 
 3. Effective as
of January 1, 2005, Section 2.2(a)(iv) is deleted and such Section 2.2(a)(v) is redesignated as Section 2.2(a)(iv).

 5. Section 2.3 is amended effective
as of January 1, 2005 by adding the following language to the end of such Section: 
 “In addition, an Employee Participant who

election with respect to which the Participant has elected an identical form and timing of distribution.” 
 9. Section 3.2(a)(ii) is amended effective as of January 1, 2005 by adding the following language to the end of such Section: 
 “Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the special 30-day rule is only applicable to a Qualified Employee who was not previously eligible to participate in the Plan or any other non-qualified deferred
compensation plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with the Plan under Code section 409A.”

compensation plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with the Plan under Code section 409A.”
