                             FIRST DATA CORPORATION

                         1992 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
                          PERFORMANCE GRANT AGREEMENT
                    (Award Period Beginning January 1, 2000)


     This AGREEMENT is made by and between FIRST DATA CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company") and [Executive Name], an executive of the Company
(the "Executive"), as of January 1, 2000.


                                    RECITALS
                                    --------


     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (The "Board") established
and the Company maintains the 1992 Long-Term Incentive Plan (The "Plan") which
authorizes the Compensation and Benefits Committee of the Board (the
"Committee") to award Performance Grants to eligible key employees of the
Company and its affiliates; and

     WHEREAS, the Committee has determined to award a Performance Grant to
Executive on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein,
the parties hereto agree as follows:


                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------


1.   Defined Terms.  All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the
     -------------
     meaning set forth in the Plan.

2.   Award of Performance Grants.  The Company hereby grants to Executive a
     ---------------------------
     Performance Grant (referred to hereinafter as the "Performance Grant")
     subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

3.   Terms and Conditions of Performance Grants.
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)  The value of the Performance Grant (the "Unit Value") shall be
          determined by the Committee in accordance with the formula set forth
          on Exhibit A attached hereto based upon the percentage increase in the
          share price of the Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share
          (the "Common Shares"), plus dividends paid, if any, during the period
          beginning on January 1, 2000 and ending on December 31, 2001 (the
          "Award Period") (the "Growth in Shareholder Value"), relative to the
          Growth in Shareholder Value of those companies in the S&P 500 index
          whose Growth in Shareholder Value during the Award Period would place
          such companies above the fiftieth (50th) percentile of all companies
          in the S&P 500 index ("Comparator Companies"); provided, however, that
          the Growth in Shareholder Value is in excess of the fiftieth
          percentile of the Comparator Companies and
<PAGE>

          the Threshold Rate as defined below. For purposes of this Agreement,
          the share price of the Common Shares and the share price of the
          Comparator Companies shall be the average of such share price for the
          sixty (60) day period ending on the last Business Day preceding the
          first day of the Award period and the last day of the Award Period,
          respectively. For purposes of this Agreement, the Threshold Rate for
          any Award Period shall mean the rate of return during the Award Period
          of the average two-year treasury note for the sixty (60) day period
          ending on the last Business Day preceding the first day of the Award
          Period assuming that dividends with respect to such two-year treasury
          note paid during the Award Period are reinvested at such two-year
          treasury note rate. For purposes of this Agreement, the methodology
          which shall be used to determine whether the Growth in Shareholder
          Value of the Company's common shares during the Award Period exceeds
          the 50th percentile shall be to rank each of the comparator companies
          from one (1) to five hundred (500) based on its Growth in Shareholder
          Value during the Award Period and then compare the Growth in
          Shareholder Value of the Company with the Growth in Shareholder Value
          of the Comparator Companies. If the Committee determines that a
          Performance Grant has no Unit Value, such Performance Grant shall be
          deemed to have been canceled.

      (b) Subject to the conditions set forth in Subparagraph 3 (e) and
          Paragraph 4 below, Executive shall have no vested or non-forfeitable
          interest in the Unit Value of a Performance Grant, as determined by
          the Committee, until the expiration of two fiscal years following the
          end of the Award Period with respect to the Performance Grant (the
          "Vesting Period"). For each fiscal year during the Vesting Period in
          which the Company's net income (determined pursuant to the guidelines
          previously approved by the Committee) before dividends divided by
          stockholder's equity at the beginning of such fiscal year ("Return on
          Equity Percentage") is a positive number, the Unit Value of the Award
          shall increase in an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Return
          on Equity Percentage ("Adjusted Return on Equity Percentage"). For
          each fiscal year during the Vesting Period in which the Return on
          Equity Percentage is a negative number, the Unit Value of the Award
          shall decrease by an amount equal to the Return on Equity Percentage.

      (c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Paragraph 4 below,
          Executive shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to the Unit
          Value of the Performance Grant, as adjusted pursuant to the Adjusted
          Return on Equity Percentage or the Return on Equity Percentage, as the
          case may be (the "Adjusted Unit Value") as determined as of the last
          day of the Vesting Period applicable to the Performance Grant. Such
          Adjusted Unit Value shall be payable solely in cash and shall be paid
          to Executive within 90 days after the last day of such Vesting Period.

      (d) Executive may elect to defer receipt of cash in the amount of the
          Adjusted Unit Value of a Performance Grant in accordance with the
          terms and conditions of the First Data Corporation Salary Deferral
          Plan.

      (e) In the event that Executive's employment is terminated for any reason
          prior to the end of the Award Period (with respect to a Performance
          Grant), or for any reason other than Executive's death, Disability, or
          early, normal or deferred retirement under an approved retirement plan
          of the Company (or any such other plan or arrangement as may be
          approved by the Committee in its discretion, for this purpose) after
          the Award Period with respect to such Performance Grant but prior to
          the end of the Vesting Period, any unpaid Unit Value shall not be paid
          out and the Performance Grant shall be forfeited.
<PAGE>

4. Committee Authority.  The Committee has the sole and exclusive authority to
   -------------------
   interpret and apply any provision of this Agreement, and may reduce the
   amount of any such award to be made hereunder (including a determination of a
   lower Unit Value than that which the formula on Exhibit A would yield) based
   on factors it selects in its discretion.  The Board may, for time to time,
   amend, modify or terminate, in whole or in part, any or all provisions of the
   Plan; provided, that no such change or termination shall in any way
   materially impair Executive's right under this Agreement without the prior
   written consent of Executive.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing
   sentence to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, extend
   at any time the Vesting Period for any Performance Grant for up to an
   additional two fiscal years (the "Extended Phase") provided that (a) the
   Committee in its sole discretion may provide for the payment to Executive
   during the Extended Phase of all or any portion of the Unit Value of the
   Performance Grant, and (b) any action by the Committee in extending the
   Vesting Period pursuant to this sentence shall be disregarded for purposes of
   Paragraph 3 (e) of this Agreement.

5. Nontransferability.  The Performance Grant shall not be transferred or
   ------------------
   assigned, hypothecated or encumbered in whole or in part either directly or
   by operation of law or otherwise (except in the event of Executive's death)
   including, but not by way of limitation, execution, levy, garnishment,
   attachment, pledge, bankruptcy or in any other manner.

6. No Employment Contract.  Neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall constitute
   ----------------------
   a contract of employment between the Company and Executive, and the Company
   specifically reserves the right to terminate the employment of or performance
   of services by the Executive at any time for any reason.

7. Compliance with Other Laws and Regulations.  The Performance Grant shall be
   ------------------------------------------
   subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulation,
   including those related to disclosure of financial and other information to
   Executive, and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as
   may be required.

8. Executive Bound by Plan.  Executive hereby acknowledges a receipt of a copy
   -----------------------
   of the Plan, and agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions thereof,
   which are incorporated herein by reference.

9. Acceptance.  By executing this Agreement and accepting the Performance Grant,
   ----------
   Executive (or any person acting on Executive's behalf or claiming under or
   through Executive) shall be conclusively deemed to have indicated his
   acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any action taken under the
   Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates.

10. Funding.  The Plan shall be unfunded.  The Company shall not be required to
    -------
    establish any special fund or to make any other segregation of assets to
    assure the payment of the Adjusted Unit Value attributable to any
    Performance Grant.  Any rights to the payment of any such Adjusted Unit
    Value shall be no greater than the right of the Company's general creditors.
