 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN 
 1.     Purpose. The purpose of the Fiserv, Inc. Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan is to permit eligible
directors of the Company to defer compensation and to enhance the long-term mutuality of interest between the directors and shareholders of the Company by requiring such deferrals to be invested in units valued in relation to the Common Stock of the
Company. 
 2.     Definitions.

indemnification such person may have as a director, officer or employee of the Company or under the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company. Expenses incurred by the Board in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent
shall be paid by the Company. 
 4.     Deferral Program. 
 (a)     Deferral Election. 
 (i)     Participation.  Prior to December 15 of any calendar year, an eligible Director may elect to defer all or any portion, in 25% increments, of the Fees payable for
services to be rendered in the calendar year following the calendar year in which such election is made. Any person who shall become an Eligible Director during any calendar year may elect, not later than the 30th day following the commencement of
his term as an Eligible Director, to defer payment of all or a portion, in 25% increments, of the Fees payable for services to be rendered for the portion of the calendar year following such election. 
 (ii)     Form and Duration of Deferral Election.  A deferral election shall be made by providing
written notice to the Secretary of the Company. Such election shall continue in effect (including with 

  

 2 

 
respect to the Fees payable for and/or in, respectively, subsequent calendar years) unless and until the Participant revokes or modifies such election by
written notice filed with the Secretary of the Company. Any such revocation or modification of a deferral election shall become effective as of the end of the calendar year in which such notice is given and only with respect to the Fees payable for
services as a director in the following calendar year. Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account prior to the effective date of any such revocation or modification of a deferral election shall not be affected by such revocation or
modification and shall be distributed only in accordance with the otherwise applicable terms of the Plan. 
 (iii)
    Renewal.  An Eligible Director who has revoked an election to participate in the Plan may file a new election in accordance with Section 4(a)(i) above to defer the Fees payable for services to be
rendered in the calendar year following the calendar year in which such new election is filed. 
 (b)
    Participants’ Accounts. 
 (i)     Establishment of
Accounts.  The Company shall maintain an Account on behalf of each Participant and shall make additions to and subtractions from such Account as provided herein. 
 (ii)     Investment in Share Units.  All Deferred Compensation allocated to a Participant’s
Account shall be deemed to be invested in that number of notional Shares (the “Units”) which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the dollar amount of such Deferred Compensation by (ii) the Fair Market Value
of a Share on the date the Deferred Compensation then being allocated to the Account would otherwise have been paid to the Participant. Whenever a dividend (other than a dividend payable in the form of Common Stock) is declared with respect to the
Common Stock, the number of Units credited to a Participant’s Account shall be increased by that number of Units which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) an amount equal to the product of (1) the number of Units
credited to the Participant’s Account on the related dividend record date multiplied by (2) the amount of any cash dividend declared by the Company with respect to a Share (or, in the case of any dividend distributable in property other
than Common Stock, the per share value of such dividend, as determined by the Company for purposes of income tax reporting) by (B) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the related dividend payment date. In the case of any dividend declared on
the Common Stock which is payable in Common Stock, a Participant’s Account shall be increased by that number of Units which is equal to the product of (x) the number of Units credited to the Participant’s Account on the related
dividend record date multiplied by (y) the number of Shares (including any fraction thereof) declared as a dividend with respect to a Share. 
 (c)     Distributions from Accounts. 
 (i)     Form of
Distribution.  A lump sum distribution shall be made as of the first business day of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the Eligible Director incurs a Separation from Service. All distributions shall be payable in
Shares equal to the number of Units credited to the Participant’s Account. Any fractional Unit shall be paid in cash. 
 (ii)     Distribution on Death.  If a Participant dies before the Units credited to the Participant’s Account have been distributed in the manner described in Section 4(c)(i), a lump sum
distribution shall be made to the Participant’s designated beneficiaries or estate as soon as practicable after the Eligible Director’s death. A Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be an entity other than a
natural person) to receive any payments to be made upon the Participant’s death pursuant to this Section 4. At any time, and from time to time, any such designation may be changed or cancelled by the Participant without the consent of any
beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made by written notice filed with the Secretary of the Company prior to the date of the Participant’s death. If a Participant designates more than one beneficiary, any
distributions to such beneficiaries pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made pro rata unless the Participant has designated otherwise, in which case the payments shall be made in the manner designated by the Participant. If no beneficiary has
been named by a Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.

 5.     Shares.  Units credited to the Accounts shall be considered
awards granted under Section 13 of the Fiserv, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and shall be counted against the share reserve of the 2007 Plan in accordance with Section 6 of that plan. The Units credited to
Accounts shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 17(a) of the 2007 Plan. In all other respects, the Units credited to the Accounts and, the Shares issued upon distribution thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions
of the 2007 Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. 
 6.     Amendment and Termination.  The
Board may at any time terminate the Plan and may from time to time alter or amend the Plan or any part thereof; provided, that, unless otherwise required by law, the rights of a Participant with respect to amounts, if any, standing to the credit of
such Participant’s Account prior to such termination, alteration or amendment may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant. In addition, a Participant’s deferral election in effect for the calendar year in which the
termination of the Plan occurs shall not be cancelled for such year, and no distributions shall be made upon termination of the Plan, unless permitted by and in accordance with Code Section 409A. 
 7.     Miscellaneous. 
 (a)     Unfunded Plan.  The Company shall not be obligated to fund its liabilities under the Plan, the separate memorandum Account established for each Participant shall not constitute trusts, and no
person shall have any claim against the Company or its assets in connection with the Plan other than as an unsecured general creditor. 
 (b)
    No Stock Ownership.  The crediting of Units to the Accounts pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof shall not be deemed to create any interest in any class of equity securities of the Company and no Participant
(or beneficiary) shall have any rights of a shareholder with respect to Units credited hereunder unless and until certificates representing the Shares subject to such Units are issued to such Participant (or his or her designated beneficiaries).

 (c)     Nonalienation.  The right of a Participant to receive a distribution of the value of such
Participant’s Account payable pursuant to the Plan shall not be subject to assignment or alienation and shall not be transferable by the Participant other than pursuant to a beneficiary designation filed under the Plan or by will or under the
applicable laws of descent and distribution. 
 (d)     Status as a Director.  Nothing in the Plan shall
be deemed to create any obligation on the part of the Board to nominate any director for reelection by the Company’s shareholders.

 Deferred Compensation Plan 

We have a non-employee director deferred compensation plan. This plan allows directors to defer all or a part of their cash retainers until after their service on the
board has ended. Funds in deferred accounts are invested in hypothetical shares of our common stock. 
 Restricted stock units are hypothetical shares of our
common stock that are converted into actual shares upon settlement. Under the deferred compensation plan, directors may defer receipt of shares issuable pursuant to the restricted stock units until after their service on the board has ended.
