     3. Participation. Acting in its sole discretion, the Committee may designate for
participation in the Plan any Employee who is determined to be part of a “select group of
management or highly compensated employees” of the Company or its subsidiaries (as that phrase is
used in Section 201(2) of ERISA). Such designation shall be made in writing, and may be revoked at
any time. Unless and until revoked, however, any such designation shall remain in effect during
subsequent Plan Years.



     4. Deferrals.




     (a) Regular Compensation. Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph
(c), prior to the first day of each Plan Year, a Participant may elect to defer the
receipt of any portion of the Regular Compensation to be earned by him or her during
that Plan Year. Moreover, an Employee who is not already a participant in a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan that would be aggregated with this Plan
pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i) may elect, during the
first thirty (30) days after the Employee first becomes a Participant, to defer the
receipt of any portion of the Regular Compensation to be earned by him or her after
the date of such election and during the remainder of that Plan Year. Any such
Deferral election may not be revoked or modified during the Plan Year to which it
relates, except that a Participant’s Deferral election shall be cancelled due to
either (i) an accelerated distribution from this Plan on account of an Unforeseeable
Emergency, or (ii) a hardship distribution from a qualified cash or deferred
arrangement pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3). No new
Deferral election described in the first sentence of this Subparagraph may become
effective until the first day of the following Plan Year. A Participant may elect
to defer either a specified percentage or a specified dollar amount of his or her
Regular Compensation. Any Deferral election made under this Subparagraph shall
apply to only a single Plan Year, and shall not apply to any subsequent Plan Year
unless expressly renewed by the Participant.




     (b) Performance-Based Compensation. Separately from any Deferral
election made under Subparagraph (a), and subject to the provisions of Subparagraph
(c), a Participant may elect to defer the receipt of any portion of the
Performance-Based Compensation to be earned by him or her during a specified
performance period of at least twelve (12) months’ duration. Any such Deferral
election must be made no later than, and may not be revoked or modified later than,
the earlier of six (6) months before the end of the performance period or the time
that the Performance-Based Compensation has become readily ascertainable; provided,
however, that such a Deferral election shall be cancelled due to either (i) an
accelerated distribution from this Plan on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency, or
(ii) a hardship distribution from a qualified cash or deferred arrangement pursuant
to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-1(d)(3). Moreover, an Employee who is not
already a participant in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that would be
aggregated with this Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i)
may elect, during the first thirty (30) days after the Employee first becomes a
Participant, to defer the receipt of any portion of the Performance-Based



4









 






Compensation to be earned by him or her after the date of such election and
during the remainder of the then-current performance period. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the portion of any Performance-Based Compensation to be earned
by a Participant after the date of an election shall be equal to the Participant’s
total Performance-Based Compensation for that performance period multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the performance
period after the election and the denominator of which is the total number of days
in the performance period. A Participant may elect to defer either a specified
percentage or a specified dollar amount of any Performance-Based Compensation. Any
Deferral election made under this Subparagraph shall apply to only a single
performance period, and shall not apply to subsequent periods unless expressly
renewed by the Participant.




     (c) Maximum Deferral Percentage. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Subparagraphs (a) and (b), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, designate the
maximum percentage of a Participant’s Regular Compensation, Performance-Based
Compensation, or both, that he or she may elect to defer under this Paragraph 4 for
each Plan Year.




     (d) Election Procedures. Any Deferral election made under this
Paragraph shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.
Such procedures may allow for elections to be made either in writing or via
electronic means, provided that a record of all such elections shall be preserved.
Similar election procedures shall apply to distribution elections made under either
of Paragraph 9 or Paragraph 11.



     5. Company Contributions. Acting in its sole discretion, the Committee may credit a
given Participant’s Account with an additional amount, which may be a percentage of Compensation or
a specific dollar amount, for the Plan Year. Unless the Participant elects otherwise, in
accordance with Paragraph 9, such Company Contributions shall be payable in a single lump-sum at
the time set forth in Paragraph 8.



     6. Earnings Indices. Participants shall be allowed to elect from among one or more
earnings indices designated by the Committee. As of each Valuation Date, each Participant’s
Account Balance shall be credited or debited with that Participant’s proportionate share of any
gains or losses attributable to the earnings indices selected by that Participant. Under no
circumstances shall the value of the Company’s stock be used as an earnings index. Nor shall the
Committee be required to invest any actual assets in the designated earnings indices.



     7. Vesting. The portion of the Participant’s Account Balance attributable to
Deferrals shall be fully vested at all times. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose a
vesting schedule (of up to 5 years) with respect to any Company Contribution (and Earnings thereon)
for any Participant for any given Plan Year, and further, the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may provide that certain Company Contributions (and Earnings thereon) shall become fully vested
immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

     8. Distributions. Except as otherwise elected in accordance with Paragraph 9, a
Participant (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Beneficiary) shall
receive a distribution of his or her entire Account Balance, in a single lump-sum payment, as soon
as administratively practicable (but no more than 90 days) after the earliest of:




     (a) The Participant’s Separation from Service (or, in the case of a Specified
Employee, six months after such Separation From Service);




     (b) the Participant’s death; or




     (c) the Participant’s Disability;


provided that neither the Participant nor the Beneficiary shall have the right to designate the
taxable year of the payment.




     9. Alternative Elections Regarding Time and Form of Payment. Except as provided in
Paragraph 10 with respect to small Account Balances, a Participant may elect, in lieu of the
distribution timing provisions of Paragraph 8, to receive distribution of his or her Deferrals
and/or Company Contributions for a given Plan Year (and the Earnings attributable thereto)




     (a) at a specific date or time (or upon attainment of a specific age), or




     (b) upon the earlier of such date (or age) or one or more of the distribution
events listed in Paragraph 8.


A Participant may also elect to receive distribution of his or her Deferrals and/or Company
Contributions for a given Plan Year (and the Earnings attributable thereto) in annual installments
for a period of up to ten (10) years. If a Participant elects to receive installment payments, the
amount of each such annual installment shall be equal to the Participant’s Account Balance as of
the date of the distribution divided by the number of installments remaining to be paid.
Notwithstanding the above, any distribution on account of the death of the Participant shall be
paid in accordance with Paragraph 8. Any election under this Paragraph (with respect to Deferrals
and the Earnings thereon) must be made by the applicable deadline (under Paragraph 4) for making a
Deferral election for the applicable Plan Year. Any election under this Paragraph (with respect to
Company Contributions and the Earnings thereon) must be made before the first day of the Plan Year
in which the Company Contribution is credited to the Participant’s Account (or, if later, within
the first 30 days after the Employee first becomes a Participant); provided that, to the extent
required under Code Section 409A, such election shall apply only to Compensation paid for services
to be performed after the date of the election. Notwithstanding the above, no Participant may
elect more than three alternate combinations of distribution dates and payout methods. In the
absence of a timely distribution election, any Deferrals or Company Contributions for a given Plan
Year (and the Earnings attributable thereto) shall be paid at the time and in the manner set forth
in Paragraph 8.




     10. Cashout of Small Account Balances. If, on the date of a distribution event listed
in Paragraph 8, a Participant’s Account Balance does not exceed the dollar limitation then in
effect under Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) (i.e., the annual limitation on Code Section 401(k)
deferrals, excluding any “catch-up contributions” available to an employee who is age 50 or older),
the



6









 




Participant’s entire Account Balance shall be distributed in accordance with Paragraph 8,
notwithstanding any alternative distribution election the Participant might have made Paragraph 9
or any distribution deferral election the Participant might have made under Paragraph 11. In
applying the provisions of this Paragraph, a Participant’s Account Balance shall be deemed to
include any amount credited to the Participant’s account under any other nonqualified deferred
compensation plan that would be aggregated with this Plan pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(c)(2)(i).




     11. Distribution Deferral Elections. A Participant who is still an Employee may
elect, at least twelve months before the earliest of the distribution dates described in Paragraph
8 (or the alternate distribution date elected under Paragraph 9) to defer the distribution of his
or her Account Balance (or the portion thereof that is payable on such date). Except in the case
of a Participant’s Disability or death, any such distribution deferral election must defer the
distribution for a period of at least five years from the date the distribution(s) otherwise would
have been made (or commenced). Subject to the constraints described in the preceding portions of
this Paragraph, a Participant may elect to receive a deferred distribution in either a single
lump-sum payment or a series of annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years. If a
Participant elects to receive installment payments, the amount of each such annual installment
shall be equal to the Participant’s Account Balance as of the date of the distribution divided by
the number of installments remaining to be paid. Moreover, a Participant may make more than one
distribution deferral election under the provisions of this Paragraph; provided that such elections
do not result in the Participant having more than three alternate combinations of distribution
dates and payout methods. For purposes of this Paragraph, a series of installment payments shall
be treated as a single payment. Accordingly, by electing to defer his or her distribution
commencement date by at least five (5) years, a Participant may substitute a lump-sum payment for a
series of installments, but may not elect to defer the distribution of only a single installment.



     12. Unforeseeable Emergency. At any time prior to receiving a distribution of his or
her entire Account Balance, a Participant who has experienced an Unforeseeable Emergency may
request an accelerated distribution from his or her Account. The amount necessary to relieve that
emergency (including any amount necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated to result from the
distribution) shall then be distributed to the Participant in a lump-sum payment. The
determination of the amount reasonably necessary to relieve the Participant’s emergency shall be
made by the Committee. No distribution shall be made under this Paragraph, however, to the extent
that the Participant’s emergency may be relieved either:




     (a) Through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;




     (b) By liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation
of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship; or




     (c) By cessation of the Participant’s Deferrals under this Plan.


Any distribution under this Paragraph shall be made as soon as administratively practicable (but no
more than 90 days) after the Committee’s determination of the portion of the Participant’s Account
Balance properly distributable as a result of the Participant’s Unforeseeable Emergency.







7









 








     13. Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant shall designate one or more
Beneficiaries, some of whom may be contingent Beneficiaries. Any such Beneficiary designation
shall be made in writing, on a form provided by the Company; provided that a married Participant
may designate a primary Beneficiary other than his/her spouse only if the spouse provides written
consent to that designation. A Participant may revoke a Beneficiary designation at any time and,
subject to the spousal consent requirement described in the immediately preceding sentence,
designate a new primary or contingent Beneficiary. No such revocation or new designation shall
become effective, however, until received in writing by the Company. In the absence of an
effective Beneficiary designation, a Participant’s Beneficiary shall be the person or persons in
the first of the following classes of successive preference Beneficiaries. The Participant’s:




	 	(a)	 	Spouse;
	 
	 	(b)	 	Descendants, per stirpes;
	 
	 	(c)	 	Parents;
	 
	 	(d)	 	Brothers and sisters; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	Estate.





     14. Unfunded Status. It is specifically intended that all Deferrals and Earnings
under the provisions of this Plan shall be “unfunded” for purposes of both the Code and ERISA. To
that end, benefits payable hereunder shall be paid exclusively from the Company’s general assets.
Although the Company may establish a trust for the purpose of holding all or a portion of
Participants’ Account Balances, the agreement establishing any such trust shall provide that the
assets held therein will be available to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors in the
event of the Company’s insolvency. No Participant or Beneficiary shall have any claim, right,
security interest, or other interest in any fund, trust, account, insurance contract, or other
asset of the Company that may be looked to for such payment. Rather, a Participant (or his or her
Beneficiary) shall be a general, unsecured creditor of the Company.



     15. Restrictions on Alienation. No right or benefit under this Plan shall be subject
to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, borrowing, encumbrance, or charge; and any
attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, borrow, encumber, or charge the same shall
be void. Nor shall any right or benefit under this Plan be in any manner liable for or subject to
the debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of any Participant or Beneficiary. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this Paragraph, the Committee may authorize either of the following:




     (a) The payment or assignment of benefits pursuant to a “qualified domestic
relations order,” as defined in Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA. A Participant’s
Account Balance shall be reduced to reflect the amount of such payment.




     (b) The distribution of any portion of a Participant’s Account Balance to any
taxing authority. The Company will inform the Participant of any amount so



8









 






distributed, by use of appropriate tax forms or by means of written notice to
the Participant concerning his or her Account Balance.



     16. Administration. The Committee will have full power to interpret the Plan and to
determine all questions that arise under it. Such power includes, for example, the administrative
discretion necessary to determine whether an individual meets the Plan’s eligibility requirements
and to interpret any other term contained in this document. The Committee may delegate such
ministerial responsibilities as it believes appropriate to one or more individuals, who may (but
need not) be employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. The Plan will be administered as an
arrangement primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of
management or highly compensated employees, as described in Section 201(2) of ERISA.



     17. Claims and Appeals Procedures. A request for a Plan benefit shall be filed with
the CEO or with his or her designee. Such a request, hereinafter referred to as a “claim,” shall
be deemed filed when the executed claim form is received by the CEO (or his or her designee).




     (a) Initial Claim Determination. The CEO (or his or her designee)
shall decide each claim within a reasonable time after it is received. If a claim is
wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall be furnished a written notice setting
forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:




     (i) the specific reason or reasons for the denial;




     (ii) a specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
denial was based;




     (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary
for the claimant to perfect the claim, along with an explanation of why such
material or information is necessary; and




     (iv) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the
claimant wishes to appeal the denial of his or her claim, including the
period during which such an appeal must be filed and the period in which it
will be decided.




The notice shall be furnished to the claimant within 90 days after receipt of the
claim by the CEO (or his or her designee), unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim. No extension shall be for more than 90
days after the end of the initial 90-day period. If an extension of time for
processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the
claimant before the end of the initial 90-day period. The extension notice shall
indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by
which a final decision will be rendered.




     (b) Appealing a Claim. If a claim is denied, the claimant may appeal
the denial to the Committee, upon written application to the Committee. The
claimant may review documents pertinent to the appeal and may submit issues and
comments



9









 






in writing to the Committee. No appeal shall be considered unless it is
received by the Secretary of the Committee within 90 days after receipt by the
claimant of written notification of the denial of the claim. The Committee shall
decide the appeal within 60 days after it is received. However, if special
circumstances require an extension of time for processing, a decision shall be
rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after the appeal is
received. If such an extension of time for deciding the appeal is required, written
notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the commencement
of the extension. The decision of the Committee shall be in writing and shall
include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, with specific references to the pertinent Plan
provisions upon which the decision was based.



     18. Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend or terminate this Plan at any
time. No such action, however, shall affect a Participant’s right to receive the full amount of
his or her vested Account Balance (determined as of the date of such amendment or termination). If
the Plan is terminated, any acceleration of a distribution to a Participant or Beneficiary shall be
subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Treasury Regulations issued under Code
Section 409A.



     19. Effect of Participant Misconduct. If the Committee determines that a Participant
has engaged in misconduct in the course of his or her employment with the Company or its
subsidiaries, the Committee may take such action with respect to that Participant as it may deem
necessary or appropriate. Such action may include, without limitation, terminating the
Participant’s right to participate in the Plan, forfeiting his or her entire Account Balance,
and/or requiring the Participant to reimburse the Company for the amount of any benefits previously
paid to the Participant hereunder. By participating in the Plan, each Participant acknowledges and
agrees that the Company’s rights under this Paragraph shall survive the distribution of any
benefits and the termination of the Participant’s employment, for any reason, and shall be in
addition to every other right or remedy, at law or in equity, otherwise available to the Company.



     20. General Provisions.




     (a) Employment Relationship. In no event shall a Participant’s terms
and conditions of employment be modified or in any way affected by this Plan.




     (b) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Plan shall be
binding on the Company and its successors and assigns, and on each Participant,
Beneficiary and their respective assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators.




     (c) Governing Law. Except to the extent preempted by federal law, all
questions arising under this Plan shall be determined by reference to the laws of
the State of Nebraska.




     (d) Compliance with Code Section 409A.




     (i) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan (including
all amendments thereto) comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A, so
that the income inclusion provisions of Code Section 409A(a)(1) do not



10









 






apply to any Participant or Beneficiary. This Plan shall be
administered in a manner consistent with this intent.




     (ii) Except as permitted under Code Section 409A, any deferred
compensation (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) payable to a
Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this Plan may not be
reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the
Company or any of its affiliates.




     (iii) In any case, a Participant shall be solely responsible and liable
for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a
Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this Plan
(including any taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A), and neither the
Company nor any of its affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or
otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or
penalties.




     (iv) Any reference in this Plan to Code Section 409A will also include
any proposed, temporary, or final regulations or any other formal guidance
promulgated with respect to such Section 409A by the U.S. Department of
Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ACI Worldwide, Inc. has caused this Amended and Restated Deferred
Compensation Plan to be executed on its behalf this 9th day of September, 2010, but to
be effective as of October 1, 2010.
