 ARTICLE 1 
 PURPOSE 
  
 1.1 GENERAL. The purpose of the Global Payments Inc. Amended and Restated 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) is to promote the success, and enhance the value, of Global Payments Inc. (the “Company”), by linking the personal interests of employees, officers and directors of the Company or any Affiliate (as defined below) to those
of Company shareholders and by providing such persons with an incentive for outstanding performance. The Plan is further intended to provide flexibility to the Company in its ability to motivate, attract, and retain the services of employees,
officers and directors upon whose judgment, interest, and special effort the successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent. Accordingly, the Plan permits the grant of incentive awards from time to time to selected
employees, officers and directors.

to serve on the Committee shall be “non-employee directors” (within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) and “outside directors” (within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder) and
that any such members of the Committee who do not so qualify shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Eligible Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are, or who are
anticipated to be become, either (i) Covered Employees or (ii) persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act. However, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify under either of the foregoing
requirements or shall fail to abstain from such action shall not invalidate any Award made by the Committee which Award is otherwise validly made under the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and
from time to time in the discretion of, the Board. The Board may reserve to itself any or all of the authority and 
  

 5 

 responsibility of the Committee under the Plan or may act as administrator of the Plan for any and all purposes. To the
extent the Board has reserved any authority and responsibility or during any time that the Board is acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers of the Committee hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than
in this Section 4.1) shall include the Board. To the extent any action of the Board under the Plan conflicts with actions taken by the Committee, the actions of the Board shall control. 
  
 4.2 ACTION AND INTERPRETATIONS BY THE COMMITTEE. For purposes of administering the Plan, the Committee may from time
to time adopt rules, regulations, guidelines and procedures for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan and make such other determinations, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee’s
interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted under the Plan, any Award Certificate and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties. Each member of the Committee is
entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s or an Affiliate’s independent certified public
accountants, Company counsel or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company to assist in the administration of the Plan. 
  

4.3 AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. Except as provided below, the Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to: 
  
 (a) Grant Awards; 
  
 (b) Designate Participants; 
  
 (c) Determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to
each Participant; 
  
 (d) Determine the number of
Awards to be granted and the number of Shares to which an Award will relate; 
  
 (e) Determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan, including but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restrictions or limitations on the Award, any schedule
for lapse of forfeiture restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers thereof, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines; 
  
 (f) Accelerate the vesting, exercisability or lapse of
restrictions of any outstanding Award, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion determines; 
  

 6 

 (g) Determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be
settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; 
  
 (h) Prescribe the form of each Award Certificate, which need not be identical for each Participant;

  
 (i) Decide all other matters that must be
determined in connection with an Award; 
  
 (j)
Establish, adopt or revise any rules, regulations, guidelines or procedures as it may deem necessary or advisable to administer the Plan; 
  
 (k) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to
administer the Plan; 
  
 (l) Amend the Plan or any
Award Certificate as provided herein; and 
  
 (m)
Adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or any Affiliate may operate, in order to assure the viability of the benefits
of Awards granted to participants located in such other jurisdictions and to meet the objectives of the Plan. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Awards hereunder to Non-Employee Directors shall be made only in accordance with the terms, conditions and
parameters established from time to time for the compensation of the Company’s Non-Employee Directors, and the Committee may not make discretionary grants hereunder to Non-Employee Directors. 
  
 Notwithstanding the above, the Board or the Committee may expressly delegate
to a special committee consisting of one or more directors who are also officers of the Company some or all of the Committee’s authority under subsections (a) through (i) above, except that no delegation of its duties and responsibilities may
be made to officers of the Company with respect to Awards to Eligible Participants who are, or who are anticipated to be become, either (i) Covered Employees or (ii) persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act. The
acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities. 
  
 4.4. AWARD CERTIFICATES. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. Each Award Certificate shall include
such provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be specified by the Committee.

 ARTICLE 5 
 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
  
 5.1. NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.1, the aggregate number of Shares reserved and available for Awards or which may be used to provide a basis of measurement for or to determine the value of an
Award (such as with a Stock Appreciation Right or Performance Award) shall be 6,000,000. Not more than 15% of such aggregate number of Shares may be granted as Awards of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares or unrestricted Stock. 
  
 5.2. LAPSED AWARDS. To the extent that an Award is canceled,
terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason, any Shares subject to the Award will again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and Shares subject to Awards settled in cash will be available for the grant of Awards under
the Plan. 
  
 5.3. STOCK DISTRIBUTED. Any Stock distributed
pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market. 
  
 5.4. LIMITATION ON AWARDS. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary (but subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14.1), the
maximum number of Shares with respect to one or more Awards, including Options and/or SARs, that may be granted during any one calendar year under the Plan to any one Participant shall be 300,000. The maximum fair market value (measured as of the
Grant Date) of any Awards other than Options, SARs or Restricted Stock Awards that may be received by any one Participant (less any consideration paid by the Participant for such Award) during any one calendar year under the Plan shall be
$5,000,000. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
 ELIGIBILITY 
  
 6.1. GENERAL. Awards may be granted only to Eligible Participants; except that Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to Eligible Participants
who are not employees of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary as defined in Section 424(e) and (f) of the Code. 
  

 8 

 ARTICLE 7 
 STOCK OPTIONS 
  
 7.1.
GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per Share under an Option shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the exercise
price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the Grant Date. 
  
 (b) TIME AND CONDITIONS OF EXERCISE. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole
or in part, subject to Section 7.1(d). The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested. The Committee may waive any exercise or vesting
provisions at any time in whole or in part based upon factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion so that the Option becomes exercisable or vested at an earlier date. The Committee may permit an arrangement whereby receipt of Stock
upon exercise of an Option is delayed until a specified future date. 
  
 (c) PAYMENT. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, or other property (including
“cashless exercise” arrangements), and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants; provided, however, that if Shares are used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such Shares must have been
held by the Participant for at least six months. 
  
 (d) EXERCISE TERM. In no event may any Option be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date. 
  
 7.2. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. The terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan must comply with the following additional rules:

  
 (a) LAPSE OF OPTION. An Incentive
Stock Option shall lapse upon the earliest of the following circumstances; provided, however, that the Committee may, prior to the lapse of the Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in subsections (3), (4) and (5) below, provide
in writing that the Option will extend until a later date, but if an Option is so extended and is exercised after the dates specified in subsections (3) and (4) below, it will automatically become a Non-Qualified Stock Option: 
  
 (1) The expiration date set forth in the Award Certificate.

  

 9 

 (2) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date. 
  
 (3) Three months after termination of the Participant’s
Continuous Status as a Participant for any reason other than the Participant’s Disability or death. 
  
 (4) One year after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant by reason of the Participant’s
Disability. 
  
 (5) One year after the termination
of the Participant’s death if the Participant dies while employed, or during the three-month period described in paragraph (3) or during the one-year period described in paragraph (4) and before the Option otherwise lapses. 
  
 If a Participant exercises an Option after termination of
employment, the Option may be exercised only with respect to the Shares that were otherwise vested on the Participant’s termination of employment, including any shares that vested as of the termination date by reason of acceleration. Upon the
Participant’s death, any exercisable Options may be exercised by the Participant’s beneficiary, determined in accordance with Section 13.6. 
  
 (b) INDIVIDUAL DOLLAR LIMITATION. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of all Shares with respect to
which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.00. 
  
 (c) TEN PERCENT OWNERS. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the Grant Date, owns stock possessing
more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary unless the exercise price per share of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share at the Grant Date and
the Option expires no later than five years after the Grant Date. 
  
 (d) EXPIRATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted pursuant to the Plan after the day immediately prior to the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.

  
 (e) RIGHT TO EXERCISE. During a
Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant or, in the case of the Participant’s Disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. 
  
 (f) ELIGIBLE GRANTEES. The Committee may not grant an
Incentive Stock Option to a person who is not at the Grant Date an employee of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary. 
  

 10 

 ARTICLE 8 
 STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS 
  
 8.1. GRANT OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Participants on the following terms and conditions: 
  
 (a) RIGHT TO PAYMENT. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant to whom it is
granted has the right to receive the excess, if any, of: 
  
 (1) The Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise; over 
  
 (2) The grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as determined by the Committee, which shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of
one Share on the Grant Date. 
  
 (b) OTHER
TERMS. All awards of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate. The terms, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock
Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Award and shall be reflected in the Award Certificate. 
  
 ARTICLE 9

Performance Units granted to each Participant, subject to Section 5.4, and to designate the provisions of such Performance Awards as provided in Section 4.3. 
  
 9.2. PERFORMANCE GOALS. The Committee may establish performance goals for Performance Awards which may be based on any one or more of the Qualified
Performance Criteria listed in Section 13.12(b) or any other criteria selected by the Committee. Such performance goals may be described in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the performance of an Affiliate or
a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate. If the Committee determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company or the manner in which the Company or an
Affiliate 
  

 11 

 conducts its business, or other events or circumstances render performance goals to be unsuitable, the Committee may
modify such performance goals in whole or in part, as the Committee deems appropriate. If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the
performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial
goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in an amount determined by the Committee. The foregoing two sentences shall not apply with respect to a Performance Award that is intended to be a Qualified Performance-Based Award.

  
 9.3. RIGHT TO PAYMENT. The grant of a Performance Share
to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified number of Shares, or the equivalent cash value, if the performance goals established by the Committee are achieved and the other terms and conditions
thereof are satisfied. The grant of a Performance Unit to a Participant will entitle the Participant to receive at a specified later time a specified dollar value in cash or property other than Shares, variable under conditions specified in the
Award, if the performance goals in the Award are achieved and the other terms and conditions thereof are satisfied. The Committee shall set performance goals and other terms or conditions to payment of the Performance Awards in its discretion which,
depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and value of the Performance Award that will be paid to the Participant. 
  
 9.4. OTHER TERMS. Performance Awards may be payable in cash, Stock, or other property, and have such other terms and conditions as determined by
the Committee and reflected in the Award Certificate. 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
 RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS 
  
 10.1. GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee is authorized to make Awards of Restricted Stock to Participants in
such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as may be selected by the Committee. 
  
 10.2. ISSUANCE AND RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and other restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, limitations on the
right to vote Restricted Stock or the right to receive dividends on the Restricted Stock). These restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such installments, upon the satisfaction of performance
goals or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Certificate, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted
Stock. 
  

 12 

 10.3. FORFEITURE. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the
Award or thereafter, upon termination of Continuous Status as a Participant during the applicable restriction period or upon failure to satisfy a performance goal during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock that is at that time
subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided, however, that the Committee may provide in any Award Certificate that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of
terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock. 
  
 10.4. CERTIFICATES FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. An Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Certificate
setting forth the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to share of Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be delivered to the Participant at the time of grant either by book-entry registration or by delivering to the
Participant, or a custodian or escrow agent (including, without limitation, the Company or one or more of its employees) designated by the Committee, a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Participant. If physical
certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, such certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

  
 ARTICLE 11 
 DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS 
  
 11.1 GRANT OF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS. The Committee is authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants subject to such terms and conditions
as may be selected by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents shall entitle the Participant to receive payments equal to dividends with respect to all or a portion of the number of Shares of Stock subject to an Award, as determined by the Committee. The
Committee may provide that Dividend Equivalents be paid or distributed when accrued or be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares of Stock, or otherwise reinvested. 
  
 ARTICLE 12 
 STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS 
  
 12.1.
GRANT OF STOCK OR OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants such other Awards that are payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise
based on or related to Shares, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including without limitation Shares awarded purely as a “bonus” and not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or
exchangeable debt securities, other rights convertible or exchangeable into Shares, and Awards valued by reference to book value of Shares or the value of securities of or the performance of specified Parents or Subsidiaries. The Committee shall
determine the terms and conditions of such Awards. 
  

 13 

 ARTICLE 13 
 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS 
  
 13.1. STAND-ALONE, TANDEM, AND SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Award granted under
the Plan. If an Award is granted in substitution for another Award, the Committee may require the surrender of such other Award in consideration of the grant of the new Award. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be
granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards. 
  
 13.2. EXCHANGE PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 15.2, the Committee may at any time offer to exchange or buy out any previously granted Award for a payment in cash, Stock, or another Award (subject to Section
14.1), based on the terms and conditions the Committee determines and communicates to the Participant at the time the offer is made, and after taking into account the tax, securities and accounting effects of such an exchange. 
  
 13.3. TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period as
determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Option or a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option exceed a period of ten years from its Grant Date (or, if Section 7.2(c) applies, five years from its
Grant Date). 
  
 13.4. FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject
to the terms of the Plan and any applicable law or Award Certificate, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate on the grant or exercise of an Award may be made in such form as the Committee determines at or after the Grant
Date, including without limitation, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in accordance with rules adopted
by, and at the discretion of, the Committee. 
  
 13.5. LIMITS
ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien,
obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Award shall be assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Award under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee
may (but need not) permit other transfers where the Committee concludes that such transferability (i) does not result in accelerated taxation, (ii) does not cause any Option intended to be an Incentive Stock Option to fail to be described in Code
Section 422(b), and (iii) is otherwise appropriate and desirable, 
  

 14 

 taking into account any factors deemed relevant, including without limitation, state or federal tax or securities laws
applicable to transferable Awards. 
  
 13.6 BENEFICIARIES.
Notwithstanding Section 13.5, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s
death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan
and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate.
Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 
  
 13.7. STOCK CERTIFICATES. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted,
or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 
  
 13.8 ACCELERATION UPON DEATH OR DISABILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any Participant’s
Award Certificate to the contrary, upon the Participant’s death or Disability during his Continuous Status as a Participant, all of such Participant’s outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards in the nature of rights
that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on his outstanding Awards shall lapse. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Rights Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan
and the Award Certificate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 13.9. ACCELERATION FOR ANY OTHER REASON. Regardless of whether
an event has occurred as described in Section 13.8 above, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a Participant’s Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and other Awards in the nature of rights that
may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable, and/or that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 13.9. 
  

 15 

 13.10 EFFECT OF ACCELERATION. If an Award is accelerated under Section 13.9, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, provide (i) that the Award will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration to the extent not then exercised, (ii) that the Award will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (iii) that the Award will be
assumed by another party to a transaction giving rise to the acceleration or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that the Award may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform
and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. To the extent that such acceleration causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section 7.2(b), the excess
Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 13.11 RETIREMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan or any Participant’s Award Certificate to the contrary, upon the Participant’s Retirement (as defined in Section 3.1), all of his outstanding Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable and all restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse. Any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights held by the
Participant shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the original expiration date of the Option, or (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement. To the extent that this provision causes any Incentive Stock Options to
fail to meet the requirements of Code Section 422, such Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 13.12. QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. 
  
 (a) The provisions of the Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder to any Covered
Employee qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. 
  
 (b) When granting any Performance Award, Restricted Stock or Other Stock-Based Award other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination
that the recipient is or may be a Covered Employee with respect to such Award, and the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. If an Award is so designated, the Committee shall establish performance goals for such
Award within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code based on one or more of the following Qualified Performance Criteria, which may be expressed in terms of Company-wide objectives or in terms of objectives that relate to the
performance of an Affiliate or a division, region, department or function within the Company or an Affiliate: (1) return on equity, (2) return on assets, (3) stock price, (4) total shareholder return (stock price appreciation plus reinvested
dividends) relative to a defined comparison group or target over a specific performance period, (5) revenue, 
  

 16 

 (6) profit contribution, (7) net income, (8) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes), (9) EBITDA
(earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortization), (10) earnings per share, (11) operating income, or (12) margin percentage of revenue. The performance goal may be stated in terms of a dollar amount, a percentage increase, a target
percentage, an amount or percent of change over time, or any other objectively determinable measure. 
  
 (c) Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) shall be earned, vested and payable (as
applicable) only upon the achievement of performance goals established by the Committee based upon one or more of the Qualified Performance Criteria, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the
Committee may determine to be appropriate; provided that the Committee may provide, either in connection with the grant thereof or by amendment thereafter, that achievement of such performance goals will be waived upon the death, Disability or
Retirement of the Participant. 
  
 (d) Any payment
of a Qualified Performance-Based Award granted with performance goals shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the performance goals and any other material conditions were satisfied. Except as specifically
provided in subsection (c), no Qualified Performance-Based Award may be amended, nor may the Committee exercise any discretionary authority it may otherwise have under the Plan with respect to a Qualified Performance-Based Award under the Plan, in
any manner to waive the achievement of the applicable performance goal based on Qualified Performance Criteria or to increase the amount payable pursuant thereto or the value thereof, or otherwise in a manner that would cause the Qualified
Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption. 
  
 (e) Section 5.4 sets forth the maximum number of Shares or dollar value that may be granted in any one-year period to a Participant. 
  
 13.13. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall
constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall not be
deemed to terminate (i) in the case of any leave of absence authorized in writing by the Company prior to its commencement, (ii) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to an Affiliate, transfers from an Affiliate to the
Company, or transfers from one Affiliate to another Affiliate, or (iii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the
Company or any Affiliate. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to extend beyond three months from the date a Participant is deemed to be an employee of the 
  

 17 

 Company, a Parent or Subsidiary for purposes of Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, the Options held by such
Participant shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 ARTICLE 14 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
  
 14.1. GENERAL. In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation,
any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall be adjusted
proportionately, and the Committee may adjust Awards to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Awards. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii)
adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other
adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and exercisable and
will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that
outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Award, or (v) any
combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a
subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and 5.4 shall
automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor. 
  
 ARTICLE 15 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
  
 15.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the
Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary
or deemed advisable to (i) permit Awards made hereunder to be exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (iii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other
applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
  

 18 

 15.2. AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend,
modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however: 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the
Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Award); 
  
 (b) The original term of any Option may not be extended
without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article 14, the exercise price of any Option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; and 
  
 (d) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan
shall adversely affect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. 
  
  
 ARTICLE 16 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 16.1. NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS; NON-UNIFORM DETERMINATIONS. No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the
Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or
not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated). 
  
 16.2.
NO SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS. No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award. 
  
 16.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the
authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with
respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. If Shares are surrendered to the 
  

 19 

 Company to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the minimum withholding obligation, such Shares must have been
held by the Participant as fully vested shares for at least six months. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such
withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes,
all in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. 
  
 16.4. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to
terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer or director at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer or director of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a
Participant’s Award or otherwise. 
  
 16.5. UNFUNDED
STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award
Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 16.6. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which such member may be a party or in which he may be
involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him provided he gives the Company an opportunity,
at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  
 16.7. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any
benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 
  
 16.8. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. 

 

 20 

 16.9. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience
of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
  
 16.10. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the
plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
  
 16.11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares
shall be eliminated by rounding up. 
  
 16.12. GOVERNMENT AND
OTHER REGULATIONS. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate
exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or
qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the
Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s
determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the
issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement. 
  

 21 

 16.13. GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award
Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. 
  
 16.14 ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each Award Certificate may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such
other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 16.15. NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to issue or assume Awards, other than under
the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate
will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 The foregoing is hereby acknowledged as being the Global Payments Inc. Amended and Restated 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan as
adopted by the Board on September 18, 2002, as submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Company’s 2002 Annual Meeting.
