this referenced Agreement, shall be a separate option governed by the terms of this Agreement. This option is intended to be a Nonstatutory Option. 
 (b)
Defined Terms. This option is granted under and subject to the terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference. Capitalized terms are defined in Section 14 of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. RIGHT TO EXERCISE. 
 Subject to the
conditions set forth in this Agreement, all or part of this option may be exercised prior to its expiration at the time or times set forth in the Notice. 
 SECTION 3. NO TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF OPTION. 
 This option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby shall not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated (whether by operation of law or otherwise), except set forth in Section 12(a) of the Plan, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other similar process. 
 SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES. 
 (a) Notice of
Exercise. The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company specifying the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the
form of payment. Exhibit A is an example of a “Notice of Exercise”. The Notice of Exercise shall be signed by the person exercising this option. In the event that this option is being exercised by the Optionee’s
representative, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative’s right to exercise this option. The Optionee or the Optionee’s representative shall deliver to the Company, at the time of giving
the notice, payment in a form permissible under Section 5 for the full amount of the Purchase Price. 

 (b) Withholding Requirements. The Company may withhold any tax (or other governmental obligation) as a
result of the exercise of this option, as a condition to the exercise of this option, and the Optionee shall make arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy all such withholding requirements. The Optionee shall also
make arrangements satisfactory to the Company to enable it to satisfy any withholding requirements that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares purchased by exercising this option. 
 (c) Stockholders Agreement. As a condition to the exercise of this option, each Optionee must become a party to the Stockholders Agreement as a “Management
Holder” thereunder. 
 (d) Issuance of Shares. After receiving a proper notice of exercise and after satisfaction of the conditions of this
Agreement, including, without limitation Sections 4(c) and 7 and 9, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which this option has been exercised, registered in the name of the person exercising this
option. 
 SECTION 5. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. 
 (a) Cash or
Check. All or part of the Purchase Price may be paid in cash or by personal check at the time this option is exercised. 
 (b) Net Cashless
Exercise. In lieu of paying the Purchase Price as described in Section 5(a) above, at any time when the Company is not required to file periodic reports under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Optionee
may pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price and any applicable withholding requirements by reducing the number of Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise of this option by the number of such Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
amount to be paid upon exercise and any applicable withholding amount. 
 (c) Alternative Methods of Payment for Shares. At the sole discretion of the
Committee, all or any part of the Purchase Price and any applicable withholding requirements may be paid by any alternative method selected by the Committee. The Committee’s exercise of its discretion to allow the Optionee to pay the exercise
price pursuant to an alternative method shall not bind the Committee to permit such alternative method of payment for the remainder of this option or with respect to any other option or optionee under the Plan. 
 SECTION 6. TERM AND EXPIRATION. 
 (a) Basic Term. Subject to
earlier termination in accordance with subsection (b) below, this option shall expire on the expiration date set forth in the Notice. 
 (b)
Termination of Service. If the Optionee’s Service terminates for any reason, then this option shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions: 
 (i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; 
 (ii) The date ninety
(90) days after the date of termination of the Optionee’s Service for any reason other than Cause; provided, however, that if the exercisability of the Options is limited by a restriction imposed by law upon the Company or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate of the Company (as opposed to any restriction imposed by law upon the participant) during such period, the ninety (90)-day in this clause (B) shall not begin until such restriction has lapsed; and 
  

 2 

 (iii) The date of termination of the Optionee’s Service if such termination is for Cause.

 For this purpose, if the Optionee is party to an employment agreement between the Optionee and the Company (or, if applicable, the Subsidiary or Affiliate
employing the Optionee), termination without Cause shall include termination of the Optionee’s Service (a) on expiration of the scheduled employment term in the employment agreement (if the employment agreement contains a scheduled term)
and (b) for “Good Reason” as defined in the employment agreement (if the employment agreement contains a definition of Good Reason). 
 Unless
the Notice shall otherwise provide, the Optionee (or in the case of the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee’s representative) may exercise all or a part of this option at any time before the expiration date described in the
preceding sentence only to the extent that this option has become exercisable for vested Shares on or before the date the Optionee’s Service terminates. Unless the Notice shall otherwise provide, the balance of this option (which is not
exercisable and vested on the date the Optionee’s Service terminates) shall lapse when the Optionee’s Service terminates. 
 (c) Call
Right. 
 (i) If the Optionee’s Service is terminated for any reason, within ninety (90) days after such date of
termination, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase (the “Call Right”) and such Optionee, upon exercise of such Call Right, shall be required to sell to the Company any or all of the Shares acquired by Optionee
pursuant to this Agreement (the “Call Shares”) at the Fair Market Value; provided, however, that if the Optionee’s Service is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Optionee’s employment agreement, or if the Optionee is
not party to any such employment agreement, as defined in the Plan), in the event the Company exercises the Call Right, the repurchase price shall be the lower of the current Fair Market Value and the exercise price of the Option. In the event the
Optionee elects (to the extent permitted under Section 6(b) hereof) to exercise any of Optionee’s Options after the time the Company has exercised its Call Right hereunder, the Company shall have 90 days after any such exercise by the
Optionee to exercise its Call Right with respect to such additional Shares. For purposes of this Section 6(c), the definition of Fair Market Value contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement dated November 9, 2007 shall be used. 

(ii) If the Company desires to exercise its Call Right, the Company shall not later than the 90-day period described for such purchase in
Section 6(c)(i), send written notice to the Optionee of its intention to purchase the Call Shares, specifying the number of Call Shares to be purchased (the “Call Notice”). The closing of the purchase shall take place at the
principal office of the Company on the later of the date that is thirty (30) days after giving the Call Notice and the date that is ten (10) business days after the final determination of the Fair Market Value. The Optionee shall deliver
to the Company the Call Shares and duly executed instruments transferring title to the Call Shares to the Company against payment of the appropriate purchase price to such Optionee. 
  

 3 

 (iii) Any amounts payable under this Section 6(c) may be paid (A) in cash; or (B) by
offset of any obligation of the Optionee to the Company or its Affiliates. 
 (d) Put Right. 
 (i) If the Optionee’s Service is terminated as a result of death or Disability, within ninety (90) days after such date of termination, such
Optionee (or his or her estate or legal representative, as applicable) shall have the right and option to require the Company to purchase (the “Put Right”), and the Company, upon exercise of such Put Right, shall be required to
purchase any or all of the Shares acquired by such Optionee pursuant to this Agreement (the “Put Shares”) at Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 6(d), the definition of Fair Market Value contained in the Stock
Purchase Agreement dated November 9, 2007 shall be used. 
 (ii) If such Optionee (or his or her estate or legal representative, as
applicable) desires to exercise its Put Right, such Optionee (or his or her estate or legal representative, as applicable) shall not later than the 90-day period described for such purchase in Section 6(d)(i), send written notice to the Company
of its intention to require the purchase of the Put Shares, specifying the number and Fair Market Value (as determined by the Optionee) of the Put Shares to be purchased (the “Put Notice”). The closing of the purchase shall take
place at the principal office of the Company on the later of the date that is thirty (30) days after giving the Put Notice and the date that is ten (10) business days after the final determination of the Fair Market Value. Such Optionee
shall deliver to the Company the Put Shares and duly executed instruments transferring title to the Put Shares to the Company against payment of the appropriate purchase price to such Optionee. 
 (iii) Any amounts payable under this Section 6(d) may be paid (A) in cash; (B) by offset of any obligation of the Optionee to the Company
or its Affiliates; or (C) to the extent that payment in cash would give rise to an event of default under the Company’s or its Affiliate’s (i) principal credit agreement or (ii) senior notes indenture then in effect or be in
violation of applicable law, by delivery of a promissory note with interest accruing at the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal on the date of issuance, which interest will be payable annually in arrears through
maturity. Such note will mature and be payable five years from the date of issuance or, if earlier, when such payment would not give rise to an “event of default” under the Company’s or its Affiliate’s (i) principal credit
agreement or (ii) senior notes indenture then in effect and would not be in violation of applicable law. 
  

 4 

 (e) Leaves of Absence. For any purpose under this Agreement, Service shall be deemed to continue while the
Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company or any Subsidiary in writing or if continued crediting of Service for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as
determined by the Company or Subsidiary). 
 SECTION 7. LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE.

imposed on either the Optionee or upon the Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. 
 (b) Investment Intent.
The Optionee represents and agrees that as of the Date of Grant, the Shares to be acquired upon exercising this option will be acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof. If the sale of Shares under the Plan
is not registered under the Securities Act but an exemption is available which requires an investment representation or other representation, the Optionee shall represent and agree at the time of exercise that the Shares being acquired upon
exercising this option are being acquired for investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and shall make such other representations as are deemed necessary or appropriate by the Company and its counsel.

 5 

 
under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares
(including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the
Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law. Such restrictions may be in addition to the restrictions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. 
 (b) Legends. In addition to any legends required by the Stockholders Agreement, all certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legends:

offered or sold except in compliance therewith. This security is also subject to additional restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 9, 2007, copies of which may be obtained upon request from
Ceridian Holding Corp. or any successor thereto.” 
 (c) Removal of Legends. If, in the opinion of the Company, any legend placed on a
stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

 (d) Administration. Any determination by the Company in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 10 shall be
conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

Exercise Price) shall be adjusted as set forth in Section 10(a) of the Plan. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation or other transaction described in Section 10(b) of the Plan, this option shall be subject to

(the “Call Shares”) at the Fair Market Value; provided, however, that if the Optionee’s Service is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Optionee’s employment agreement, or if the Optionee is not party to any such
employment agreement, as defined in the Plan), in the event the Company exercises the Call Right, the repurchase price shall be the lower of the current Fair Market Value and the exercise price of the Option. In the event the Optionee elects (to the

 SECTION 10. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. 
 (a) Securities Law Restrictions. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws
of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in
the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or any other law. Such restrictions may be in addition to the restrictions set forth
in the Stockholders Agreement. 
 (b) Legends. In addition to any legends required by the Stockholders Agreement, all certificates evidencing Shares
purchased under this Agreement shall bear the following legends:

November 9, 2007, copies of which may be obtained upon request from Ceridian Holding Corp. or any successor thereto.” 
 (c) Removal of
Legends. If, in the opinion of the Company, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a
certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend.

any of the matters set forth in this Section 10 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons.

Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement, and (iii) satisfying the requirements of this Agreement. 
  

 5 

 (b) No Retention Rights. Nothing in this option or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to

expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

matter hereof and supersede any other agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which relate to the subject matter hereof.

 SECTION 13. RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

 The parties recognize and agree that (i) the Optionee has received, and will in the future receive, substantial amounts of
Confidential Information, (ii) the Company’s business is conducted on a worldwide basis, and (iii) provision for non-competition and non-recruitment obligations by the Optionee is critical to the Company’s continued economic
well-being and protection of the Company’s Confidential Information. In light of these considerations and in consideration of the Option granted herein, the Optionee agrees to the following covenants: 
 (a) Non-Competition. During the term of Service, the Optionee shall devote his or her full time and energy to furthering the Company’s business and will not
pursue any other business activity without the Company’s written consent; provided, however that the Optionee may serve on the board of directors of one other entity that is not an Affiliate, subject to the Optionee’s 

  

 6 

 
prior consultation with the nominating and governance committee of the Board. Unless the obligation is waived or limited by the Company, the Optionee agrees
that during the period of his or her Service with the Company and for a period of one (1) year following his or her termination of Service for any reason (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Optionee 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 the Company’s business as conducted as of the date of such termination of Service or with
any part of the Company’s contemplated business with respect to which the Optionee has Confidential Information. For purposes of this section, “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 section, the “Company’s business” shall include
business conducted by the Company or its Affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which the Company or its Affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that, “Affiliate” as used in this sentence shall not include any
corporation in which the Company has ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting stock. 
 (i) At its sole option, the Company may, by
written notices to the Optionee at any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time and/or geographic area in which the Optionee may not engage in competitive activity. 
 (ii) During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which offers competitive products or services, the Optionee shall give thirty
(30) days prior written notice to the Company. 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. The Company shall respond within twenty (20) days with approval of or objection to the Optionee’s notice of desire to render employment or consulting services with such firm or entity. 
 (b) Non-Recruitment. During the Optionee’s term of Service and for a period of one (1) year following a termination of Service for any reason, the
Optionee will not directly or indirectly hire any of the Company’s, or solicit any of the Company’s employees for the purpose of hiring them or inducing them to leave their employment with the Company, nor will the Optionee 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 above. This provision shall not
preclude the Optionee from responding to a request (other than by the Optionee’s employer) for a reference with respect to an individual’s employment qualifications. 
 (c) Survival and Enforceability. The obligations of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the Optionee’s Service with the Company. Should any provision of
this Section 13 be held invalid or illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this section or the Agreement, but rather, Section 13 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, the Optionee expressly agrees that should the duration of or 

  

 7 

 
geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Section 13 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. The Optionee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this
Section 13 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. The Optionee acknowledges that the value of the benefits the
Optionee is receiving in connection with this Agreement is good and sufficient consideration for the Optionee’s entrance into the obligations in this Section 13. This Section 13 does not replace and is in addition to any other
agreements the Optionee may have with the Company on the matters addressed herein
