4. Post-Employment Competitive Activities and Related Covenants.

4.1 Definitions: For purposes of Section 4, the following terms have the meanings
indicated:

(a) A “Conflicting Product or Service” means any product, or process, or service in existence
or under development, which is the same as or similar to or improves upon or competes with or is
intended to replace or serve as an alternative to, a product, process, or service rendered by
Employer or which is under development by Employer or the subject of a pending acquisition or
license by Employer or as to which Employer is actively negotiating to provide services through a
business alliance relationship, and

(i) which Employee either worked on, performed or sold during his or her last
twenty-four (24) months of employment by Employer; or

(ii) about which Employee acquired Confidential Information as a result of his or
her employment by Employer.

(b) A “Conflicting Organization” means any business that is a Customer (as defined below), or

(c) A “Specific Conflicting Organization” shall mean the businesses identified in Section 4.3.

consideration described in Section 2 of this Agreement, he or she shall not accept employment or

Employee first obtains written consent to such engagement from Employer.

4.3 Employment with Specific Conflicting Organizations. In addition to the
restrictions imposed upon Employee with respect to employment with a Conflicting Organization
described in Section 4.2, Employee acknowledges that, in consideration of the particular nature and
scope of the business of The Western Union Company, Fiserv, Inc., Euronet Worldwide, Global
Payments, Inc. and Coinstar, Inc., (collectively, “Specific Conflicting Organizations”), those

responsibilities for Employer, that an extended period of protection of Employer’s business
interests is reasonable and necessary. Accordingly, Employee agrees that, for a period of
twenty-four (24) months following Employee’s termination of employment, in exchange for the
consideration described in Section 2 of this Agreement, Employee shall not accept employment or
otherwise render services as an employee, trustee, principal, agent, consultant, partner, director,

enterprise whatsoever, directly or indirectly hire or cause any third party to hire, recruit,
solicit or induce any employee, contractor, consultant or representative of Employer to terminate
his, her or its relationship with the Employer. Employee further agrees that, during such time, if
a person who is employed by Employer contacts Employee about prospective employment, Employee will

during such time, if a Customer contacts Employee about discontinuing business with Employer or
otherwise changing an existing commercial relationship with Employer, Employee will inform such

breach of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and/or 4.5 of this Agreement are irreparable and difficult to
prove with certainty. If any covenant contained in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and/or 4.5 is breached,

incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

(b) Forfeiture and Repayment.

(i) Pursuant to Section 6 of the Option Agreement, Employer is authorized to suspend
or terminate the Option and any other outstanding stock option held by the Employee prior to or
after termination of employment if Employee engages in any conduct agreed to be avoided pursuant to
any of the covenants contained in sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and/or 4.5 of this Agreement. Further, if
at any time within two (2) years after the date of Employee’s termination of employment, Employee
engages in any conduct agreed to be avoided pursuant to any of the covenants contained in sections

realized by the Employee from the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, shall be paid by
Employee to Employer, and the Employee consents to the deduction from any amounts Employer owes to
the Employee to the extent of the amounts the Employee owes the Employee under Section 6 of the

receipt of a written demand received from Employer pursuant to this Section.

proceedings seeking the payment described in Section 4.6(b)(i) if Employee fails or otherwise
refuses to make such payment upon receiving written notice from Employer of the obligation to
repay. The parties agree that the venue for such action shall be Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
Minnesota law shall govern this Agreement and any proceedings to enforce it. Employer shall be
entitled to reimbursement from Employee of its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, incurred in enforcing Employee’s obligation under this Agreement.

5.1 During Employee’s employment with Employer, Employee will promptly report to Employer all
designs, developments, discoveries, inventions, improvements or works (collectively “Inventions”)
of whatsoever nature conceived or made by Employee. All such Inventions and the patent, copyright,
trade secret and other intellectual property rights therein which are applicable in any way to
Employer’s business shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer. Whenever requested by
Employer whether during or subsequent to Employee’s employment, Employee agrees to execute any
papers Employer deems necessary for the protection of Employer’s interest in any Invention and the
patent, copyright and other intellectual property rights therein.

5.2 If Employee is or at any time becomes a resident of California, Delaware, Illinois,
Kansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Utah or Washington, then the provisions of Section 5.1 shall not
apply to any Invention conceived or made by Employee in that state for which no equipment,
supplies, facility or trade secret information of Employer was used and which was developed
entirely on Employee’s own time, unless:

(a) the Invention relates directly to the business of Employer, or to Employer’s actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development, or

(b) the Invention results from any work performed by Employee for Employer.

6. Non-Disparagement of Employer.

Employee will not make disparaging statements about Employer or its parent companies,
predecessors, successors, affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies, shareholders (including
their respective members, managers, and partners), officers, directors, agents, employees, products
or services.

7. Return of Documents and Other Property.

Employee shall return, prior to or on Employee’s employment termination date, all of

Employer and any and all copies thereof. Moreover, Employee is strictly prohibited from making
copies, or directing copies to himself through e-mail or other transmission, of any of Employer’s
property covered by this section.

8. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Agreement
shall not be affected thereby, but shall remain valid and enforceable, and such provision shall be
sufficiently narrowed so as to make it enforceable.

9. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Option Agreement and the Incentive Plan contain the entire agreement
between Employer and Employee relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior
Employee Trade Secret, Confidential Information and Post-Employment Restriction Agreement(s)
between Employee and Employer. If any provision of any agreement, plan, program, policy
arrangement or other written document between or relating to Employer and Employee conflicts with
any provision of this Agreement, the provision of this Agreement shall control and prevail.

10. Assignment.

Employee agrees and acknowledges that the rights and obligations described in this Agreement,
including the right to enforce Employee’s covenants described in Section 4, are assignable by
Employer, without notice to Employee, and without Employee’s consent or agreement.

11. No Waiver Implied.

The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach by the other party of any provision
shall not operate as or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.
