Exhibit 10.14

The Western Union Company

Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan

ARTICLE I

HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

     1.1 Plan History. The Western Union Company (the “Company”) hereby continues a portion
of its nonqualified deferred compensation plan as The Western Union Company Grandfathered
Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as a separate plan, effective as of the date that
the Company was spun off from First Data Corporation (“Spin-Off Date”). Effective as of the
Spin-Off Date, the Plan is being spun off from the First Data Corporation Supplemental Incentive
Savings Plan (the “First Data SISP”), which was most recently amended and restated effective
January 1, 2003.

     1.2 Accounts Spun Off From the First Data SISP. The following accrued liabilities
under the First Data SISP are hereby spun off from the First Data SISP and held in the Plan,
effective as of the Spin-Off Date:

	 	(a)	 	liability equal to the bookkeeping accounts for deferrals contributed before
January 1, 2005, plus related earnings, by Participants who are Business Employees.
	 
	 	(b)	 	liability equal to the bookkeeping accounts for employer matching
contributions, service-related contributions, and ISP Plus contributions to the extent
100% vested as of December 31, 2004 (collectively, “Vested Employer Contributions”),
plus related earnings on the Vested Employer Contributions, by Participants who are
Business Employees.
	 
	 	(c)	 	liability equal to the bookkeeping accounts for account balances accumulated
under other deferred compensation plans or programs of First Data Corporation that
were merged into the First Data SISP, as listed in Appendix A, for Participants who
are Business Employees.

For purposes of this Section 1.2, “Business Employees” means a Transferred Employee or any other
individual employed at any time on or prior to the Spin-Off Date by the Company or its Affiliates
who has, as of the Spin-Off Date, or who, immediately prior to his or her termination of employment
with all of First Data Corporation and its Affiliates, had employment duties primarily related to
the business of providing consumer to consumer money transfer services, consumer to business
payment services, retail money order services and certain prepaid services. For purposes of this
Section 1.2, “Transferred Employee” means an employee of First Data Corporation or any of its
Affiliates (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) whose employment is transferred to the
Company or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Spin-Off Date.

Code § 409A does not apply to the Plan under the grandfather rules of Code § 409A because (i) the
predecessor plan, the First Data SISP, was in existence as of October 3, 2004, (ii) the Plan has
not been materially modified, and (iii) all amounts credited under the Plan were 100% vested before
January 1, 2005.

     1.3 Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to further the growth and
development of the Company by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract and retain select
employees by providing a select group of senior management and highly compensated employees of the
Company and its Affiliates the opportunity to defer a portion of their cash compensation. The Plan
is intended to provide Participants with an opportunity to supplement their retirement income
through deferral of current compensation. The Plan is an unfunded plan.

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION

     The Committee shall have final discretion, responsibility, and authority to administer and
interpret the Plan. This includes the discretion and authority to determine all questions of fact,
eligibility, or benefits relating to the Plan. The Committee may also adopt any rules it deems
necessary to administer the Plan. The Committee’s responsibilities for administration and
interpretation of the Plan shall be exercised by Company employees who have been assigned those
responsibilities by the Company’s management. Any Company employee exercising responsibilities
relating to the Plan in accordance with this Section shall be deemed to have been delegated the
discretionary authority vested in the Committee with respect to those responsibilities, unless
limited in writing by the Committee. Any Participant may appeal any action or decision of these
employees to the Committee. Claims for benefits under the Plan and appeals of claim denials shall
be in accordance with Articles IX and X. Any interpretation by the Committee shall be final and
binding on the Participants.

ARTICLE IV

PARTICIPANT DEFERRAL AND DISTRIBUTION ELECTIONS

     4.1 Eligibility. The Company shall identify those Employees of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries that are eligible to participate in this Plan. Only Employees who are in salary
grade 13 or above (IT Broadband 4), whose Base Salary is equal to or greater than $80,000 annually
(which amount may be reviewed and adjusted annually by the Committee in its discretion), and who
are selected by the Committee as eligible to participate may enroll in the Plan. Eligibility to
participate in the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Company and shall be limited to a
select group of senior management or

			
	 	 	 
	The Western Union Company Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan
	 	1/1/2010     5

 

 

highly compensated employees. Eligibility to participate in
this Plan for any calendar year shall not confer the right to participate during any subsequent
year.

     4.2 Execution of Agreement. An Employee who wishes to participate in the Plan must
execute a Deferred Compensation Agreement(s) either (a) for a newly hired Employee, within 30 days
after his or her date of hire, or (b) for an Employee satisfying the Plan’s eligibility criteria
and who is selected by the Committee, during the annual enrollment period determined from time to
time by the Committee. The Deferred Compensation Agreement shall specify the Employee’s election
to participate in the Plan to defer Salary and/or Bonus to be earned during the remainder of that
calendar year (for new hires only) and subsequent calendar years. Participants shall make separate
elections with respect to deferrals of Salary and Bonus.

     4.3. Deferral Election. Within limits established by the Company, each Participant
shall have the opportunity to elect the amount of his or her Salary and/or Bonus to be earned in
calendar years subsequent to the date of election, which will be deferred in accordance with this
Plan. The Compensation otherwise paid to a Participant during each calendar year beginning after
the date of the deferral election shall be reduced by the amount elected to be deferred. Elections
to defer Compensation are irrevocable except as otherwise provided in this Plan. The amount of
Salary and/or Bonus to be deferred will be specified in the Deferred Compensation Agreement and
will be limited to a maximum of 80 percent of the Participant’s Compensation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no deferrals to the Plan shall be allowed after December 31, 2004.

     4.4 Change of Deferral Election.

	 	(a)	 	Change For Following Calendar Year. A Participant who wishes to
change an election to defer Compensation may do so at any time by notifying the
Committee in writing of such change in election. Such written change must be
submitted in all events prior to December 31 of the year immediately preceding the
calendar year for which the change in election is to be effective. The Committee may,
in its sole discretion, establish earlier deadlines or annual enrollment periods for
such election changes during which such elections must be made.
	 
	 	(b)	 	Change For Current Calendar Year. A Participant who wishes to change
an election to defer Compensation on or after January 1 of any calendar year for which
the change in election is to be effective must submit a written request to the
Committee to revoke his or her existing deferral election. The request must state why
the Participant believes he or she should be permitted to revoke the prior election.
Requests will be reviewed as soon as administratively feasible and, if a change is
permitted by the Committee in its sole discretion, the change will be effective for
all remaining pay periods following the date of the determination.

     4.5 Distribution Election. At the time a Participant initially elects to defer
Compensation under Section 4.3, he or she shall elect a distribution option for the

			
	 	 	 
	The Western Union Company Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan
	 	1/1/2010     6

 

 

Compensation so
deferred, including gains or losses thereon, as specified in the Deferred Compensation Agreement.
The distribution election shall apply to all amounts attributable to the Participant’s Deferred
Account under this Plan, including amounts previously deferred under plans listed under Appendix A
which have been merged into this Plan and amounts spun off from the First Data SISP. Elections
regarding distribution of Deferred Accounts under this Plan are irrevocable except as otherwise
provided in this Plan.

     4.6 Change of Distribution Election. Participants who are actively employed by the
Company or an Affiliate may request, in writing, a change in their distribution election no more
frequently than once in any five calendar year period. The changed distribution election must be
one of the distribution options in the original Deferred Compensation Agreement. The Committee
must receive the request by the earlier of (a) December 31 of the calendar year immediately
preceding the year benefits are first scheduled to be paid, or (b) 30 days before the first date
benefits are scheduled to be paid. The request shall be approved or denied at the Committee’s sole
discretion. No change will be permitted that would allow a payment to be made earlier than
originally elected in the Deferred Compensation Agreement.

     4.7 Excess Benefit Credits. Participation in this Plan is not intended to cause an
employee to lose any portion of any Company contribution that would otherwise have been made to the
Participant’s ISP account. The Committee may implement such procedures and policies as are
necessary or appropriate in the Committee’s discretion consistent with such intent. A
Participant’s Deferral Account under this Plan shall be credited with amounts that would have been
contributed by the Company and credited to his or her accounts as employer matching contributions,
service-related contributions, and ISP Plus contributions (collectively, “Excess Benefit Credits”)
in accordance with the terms of the ISP but for the limitations imposed by sections 401(a)(17) of
the Code, provided, however, that Excess Benefit Credits for employer matching
contributions shall be made for any Plan Year only to the extent that a Participant’s Participation
Election is in effect for such Plan Year. Such amounts shall be credited to the Participant’s
Deferral Account as of the date such amounts would have been credited to the Participant’s accounts
under the ISP but for the application of such limitations. The Committee shall separately account
for that portion, if any, of a Participant’s Deferral Account that is allocable to Excess Benefit
Credits attributable to (i) employer matching contributions, (ii) service-related contributions,
and (iii) ISP Plus contributions. The Company matching contribution will be allocated to the
Investment Account to which the Participant’s deferrals of Base Salary are allocated.

ARTICLE V

DEFERRED ACCOUNT ALLOCATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS

     5.1 Committee’s Selection of Investment Accounts. Effective before the Spin-Off
Date, the Committee shall identify one or more Investment Accounts based upon which imputed gains
or losses shall be credited to Participants’ Deferred Accounts. The

			
	 	 	 
	The Western Union Company Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan
	 	1/1/2010     7

 

 

Committee may add or eliminate
Investment Accounts from time to time in its sole discretion. No identification by the Committee
of an Investment Account shall give, or be deemed for any purpose to give, a Participant an
interest in any asset or investment held by the Company for any purpose. Effective before the
Spin-Off Date, the Committee in its sole discretion shall determine the interest or earnings rates
to be applied in any such Investment Accounts from time to time. Effective after the Spin-Off Date
and prior to January 1, 2007, Participants may choose to have gains or losses determined under
(a) the available Investment Account and applicable earnings rate offered under the First Data SISP
as of the Spin-Off Date or (b) the investment options available to participants under The Western
Union Company Incentive Savings Plan, excluding any brokerage account option or any employer stock
fund. Effective on and after January 1, 2007, the available Investment Accounts shall be the same
investment options available to participants under The Western Union Company Incentive Savings
Plan, excluding any brokerage account option or any employer stock fund.

     5.2 Participant Identification of Investment Accounts. Participants shall identify
one or more Investment Account(s) with respect to which imputed gains or losses shall be attributed
(credited or debited) to the Participant’s Deferred Account. Each Participant must allocate his
or her current deferrals of Compensation to one of the Investment Accounts. Participants who are
active employees may change the allocation of future deferrals to or from any Investment Account on
any business day, with any change effective as of the first pay period beginning after the date of
the change. Effective prior to the Spin-Off Date, Participants who are active employees, and on
and after the Spin-Off Date, all Participants may, upon notice to the Plan’s recordkeeper, shift
the allocation of all or any portion of their Deferred Account balance among any of the Investment
Accounts, on any business day. Changes received by the Plan’s recordkeeper prior to the close of
trading on the New York Stock Exchange will be effective as of that day. Changes received by the
recordkeeper after such time on any day will be effective as of the end of the next trading day on
the New York Stock Exchange. Effective January 1, 2007, if a Participant does not choose an
Investment Account, the Participant’s Deferred Account shall be invested in the Target Retirement
fund based on the Participant’s age as of the default investment election date.

     5.3 Record of Investment Accounts. The Committee shall maintain a record of each
Participant’s Deferred Account balance, allocations, thereto, and gains or losses credited thereto.
Each Participant’s Deferred Account shall be adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the deemed gains
or losses attributable to the Investment Account(s) selected by the Participant.

     5.4 Initial Investment Accounts for Accounts. A Participant’s Deferred Account spun
off from the First Data SISP into this Plan shall be initially allocated to the same Investment
Accounts to which the Participant’s Deferred Account balance was allocated under the First Data
SISP.

Accounts as elected by each Participant in the applicable Deferred Compensation Agreement, except
as otherwise provided in this Article VI

     6.2 Benefits Upon Termination.

	 	(a)	 	Investment Allocation Upon Termination (Prior to the Spin-Off Date).
Effective prior to the Spin-Off Date, upon Termination, the Participant’s entire
Deferred Account shall be automatically allocated to the Fixed Income Fund Account
pending distribution thereof, notwithstanding any elections or allocation decisions
previously made by the Participant. The deemed earnings rate for the Fixed Income
Fund Account shall apply prospectively from the date of Termination to all
undistributed amounts of the Participant’s Deferred Account. Prior to the Spin-Off
Date, from and after the date of Termination, the Participant shall have no rights
under this Plan to alter the Investment Account to which his or her Deferred Account
is allocated, or to request any change in previous distribution election(s).
	 
	 	(b)	 	Investment Allocation Upon Termination (On and After the Spin-Off
Date). On and after the Spin-Off Date, upon Termination, the Participant’s
elections and allocation decisions previously made by the Participant shall continue
to apply, and the Participant shall be permitted to change Investment Accounts in his
or her discretion in the same manner as an active Employee. Participants who
terminated prior to the Spin-Off Date shall again be permitted to change Investment
Accounts in their discretion in the same manner as an active Employee.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Payment of Deferred Account Upon Termination. Upon Termination, a
Participant shall be paid his or her Deferred Account in a lump sum or in quarterly or
annual installments calculated to distribute his or her Deferred Account over a period
of not more than 10 years, as elected by the Participant in his or her Deferred
Compensation Agreement. Payments shall commence on the date and shall be made in the
manner elected by the Participant in the Deferred Compensation Agreement. Unpaid
balances under the installment election shall continue to be credited with imputed
gains or losses.

     6.3 Service with a Competitor/Violation of Nonsolicitation or Noncompete Agreement.
If a Participant provides services for remuneration to a Competitor following his or her
Termination, or if a Participant is determined by the Company’s General Counsel to have violated
any non-solicitation or non-compete agreement the Participant has signed with the Company, then
notwithstanding anything in this Plan to

			
	 	 	 
	The Western Union Company Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan
	 	1/1/2010     9

 

 

the contrary such Participant’s entire Deferred Account
balance shall be distributed in a single lump sum as soon as administratively feasible, less the
value of all Excess Benefit Credits and earnings thereon previously credited to the Participant’s
Deferred Account under Section 4.7. Determination of whether a Participant provides services to a
Competitor shall be determined by the Company’s General Counsel, in his or her sole discretion.

     6.4 Hardship Distribution. If serious and unanticipated financial hardship occurs, a
Participant may request termination of participation in the Plan and a lump-sum distribution of all
or a portion of his or her Deferred Account balance. The Participant shall document, to the
Committee’s satisfaction, that distribution of his or her account is necessary to satisfy an
unanticipated, immediate, and serious financial need, and that the Participant does not have access
to other funds, including proceeds of any loans, sufficient to satisfy the need. Upon receipt of a
request under this Section, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Participant’s
involvement in the Plan and distribute all or a portion of the Participant’s account balance in a
lump sum, to the extent necessary to satisfy the financial need. The Participant shall sign all
documentation requested by the Committee relating to the distribution. Any Participant whose
participation in the Plan terminates under this Section shall not be eligible to participate in any
nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the Company during the remainder of the
calendar year of distribution under this paragraph and the immediately following calendar year.

     6.5 Premature Distribution With Penalty. Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan
to the contrary, a Participant or beneficiary may, at any time, request in writing a single
lump-sum payment of the amount credited to his or her Deferred Account under the Plan. The amount
of the payment shall be equal to (a) the Participant’s Deferred Account balance under the Plan as
of the payment date, reduced by (b) an amount equal to 10% of the Deferred Account balance. This
lump-sum payment shall be subject to withholding of federal, state, and other taxes to the extent
applicable. The Plan Administrator shall review all requests under this Section 6.5 and shall, in
his or her sole discretion, approve or deny the request. If approved, the payment shall be made
within 30 days of the date on which the Committee received the request for the distribution. If a
Participant makes a request which is approved under this provision, he or she shall not be eligible
to participate in this Plan or any other nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained by the
Company, and any deferred compensation agreement under any such nonqualified deferred compensation
plan shall not be effective with respect to Compensation payable to the Participant for a period of
time equal to the remainder of the calendar year of distribution under this paragraph and the
immediately following calendar year. Such period of ineligibility shall commence on the first date
on which the application of such suspension of eligibility would not violate Code § 409A.

     6.6 Distribution Upon Extraordinary Events. If any Participant terminates employment
with the Company as a direct result of the sale, closure, or divestiture of a facility, operating
division, or reduction in force in connection with any reorganization of the Company’s operations
or staff, the Participant may request a lump sum distribution of

			
	 	 	 
	The Western Union Company Grandfathered Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan
	 	1/1/2010     10

 

 

his or her entire Deferred Account
balance without penalty. Upon receipt of a request for distribution under this Section, the
Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect whether to approve or deny the request. If the
Committee approves the request, distribution of the Participant’s Deferred Account balance shall
occur on or about January 1 of the year following the year during which Termination occurred.

     6.7 Small Account Distributions. On the date of Termination, if a Participant’s
Deferred Account balance is less than $50,000, the Company shall promptly distribute the entire
Deferred Account balance in a lump sum to the Participant, regardless of Participant’s distribution
election, and the Participant shall have no further rights or benefits under this Plan.

     6.8 Distributions Following Death; Designation of Beneficiary. The Company shall
make all payments to the Participant, if living. A Participant shall designate a beneficiary by
filing a written notice of designation with the Committee in such form as the Committee may
prescribe. If a Participant dies either before benefit payments have commenced under this Plan or
after his or her benefits have commenced but before his or her entire Deferred Account has been
distributed, his or her Designated Beneficiary shall receive any benefit payments in accordance
with the Deferred Compensation Agreement. If no beneficiary designation is in effect at the time of
a Participant’s death, or if a Participant’s Designated Beneficiary dies prior to the Participant’s
death, the Participant’s Designated Beneficiary shall be his or her surviving spouse, if any, and
if none, the Participant’s entire Deferred Account shall be distributed in a single lump sum to the
Participant’s estate.

ARTICLE VIII

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS TRUST

     Upon the occurrence of any Potential Change in Control or an actual Change in Control, the
Company may in its discretion transfer to the DCB Trust an amount of cash, marketable securities,
or other property acceptable to the trustee equal in value up to 105% of the amount necessary, on
an actuarial basis and calculated in accordance with the terms of the DCB Trust, to pay the
Company’s obligations with respect to Deferred Accounts under this Plan (the “Funding Amount”).
Any cash, marketable securities, and other property so transferred shall be held, managed, and
disbursed by the trustee subject to and in accordance with the terms of the DCB Trust. In
addition, from time to time, the Company may make any and all additional transfers of cash,
marketable securities, or other property acceptable to the trustee as may be necessary in order to
maintain the Funding Amount with respect to this Plan. Any amounts transferred to the DCB Trust
under this paragraph shall, at any time prior to the occurrence of an actual Change in Control, be
returned to the Company by the Trustee at the Company’s request.

     Upon an actual Change in Control, all assets then held in the DCB Trust shall be used to pay
benefits under this Plan, except to the extent the Company pays such benefits. The Company and any
successor shall continue to be liable for the ultimate payment of those benefits.

ARTICLE IX

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

     Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be filed in writing, within 60 days after the event
giving rise to a claim, with the Company’s Senior Vice President, Compensation and Benefits (the
“Plan Administrator”), who shall have absolute discretion to determine whether benefits are payable
under the Plan, interpret and apply the Plan, evaluate the facts and circumstances, and make a
determination with respect to the claim in the name and on behalf of the Committee. The claim
shall include a statement of all relevant facts and copies of all documents, materials, or other
evidence that the claimant believes relevant to the claim.

     The Plan Administrator shall furnish a notice to any claimant whose claim for benefits under
the Plan has been denied within 90 days from receipt of the claim. This 90-day period may be
extended if special circumstances require an extension, provided that the time period cannot exceed
a total of 180 days from the Plan’s receipt of the claimant’s claim and the written notice of the
extension is provided before the expiration date of the initial 90-day claim period. If an
extension is required, the Plan Administrator shall provide a written notice of the extension that
contains the expiration date of the initial 90-day claim period, the special circumstances that
require an extension, and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its benefits
determination.

	 	 	The Plan Administrator’s claim denial notice shall set forth:

	 	(b)	 	the specific reason or reasons for the denial;
	 
	 	(c)	 	specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is
based;
	 
	 	(d)	 	a description of any additional material or information necessary for the
claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why the material or information is
necessary; and
	 
	 	(e)	 	an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure describing the steps to
be taken by a claimant who wishes to submit his or her claim for review, including any
applicable time limits, and a statement of the Participant’s or beneficiary’s right to
bring a civil action under ERISA § 502(a) if the claim is denied on review.

     A claimant who wishes to appeal the adverse determination must request a review in writing to
the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the appealing claimant received the denial of benefits.

ARTICLE X

CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE

     Any Participant, former Participant, or Designated Beneficiary of either, who has been denied
a benefit claim, shall be entitled, upon written request, to a review of the denied claim by the
Committee. A claimant appealing a denial of benefits (or the authorized representative of the
claimant) shall be entitled to:

	 	(a)	 	submit in writing any comments, documents, records and other information
relating to the claim and request a review;
	 
	 	(b)	 	review pertinent Plan documents; and
	 
	 	(c)	 	upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant to the claim. A document, record,
or other information shall be considered relevant to the claim if such document,
record, or other information (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination,
(ii) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit
determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other information
was relied upon in making the benefit determination, or (iii) demonstrates compliance
with the administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure and verify that
benefit claim determinations are made in accordance with the Plan and that, where
appropriate, the Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to
similarly situated Participants or Designated Beneficiaries.

     The Committee shall reexamine all facts related to the appeal and make a final determination
as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances.

     Decision on Review. The decision on review of a denied claim shall be made in the
following manner:

	 	(a)	 	The decision on review shall be made by the Committee, who may in its
discretion hold a hearing on the denied claim. The Committee shall make its decision
solely on the basis of the written record, including documents and written materials
submitted by the Participant or Designated Beneficiary (or the authorized
representative of the Participant or Designated Beneficiary). The Committee shall
make its decision promptly, which shall ordinarily be not later than 60 days after the
Plan’s receipt of the request for review, unless special circumstances (such as the
need to hold a hearing) require an extension of time for processing. In that case a
decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after
receipt of the request for review. If an extension of time is required due to special
circumstances, the Committee will provide written notice of the extension to the
Participant or Designated Beneficiary prior to the time the extension commences,
stating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which a
final decision is expected.

	 	1/1/2010     14

 

 

	 	(b)	 	The decision on review shall be in writing, written in a manner calculated to
be understood by the Participant or Designated Beneficiary. If the claim is denied,
the written notice shall include specific reasons for the decision, specific
references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based, a
statement of the Participant’s or Designated Beneficiary’s right to bring an action
under ERISA § 502(a), and a statement that the Participant or Designated Beneficiary
is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and
copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s
claim for benefits. A document, record, or other information shall be considered
relevant to the claim if such document, record, or other information (i) was relied
upon in making the benefit determination, (ii) was submitted, considered, or generated
in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such
document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the benefit
determination, or (iii) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and
safeguards designed to ensure and verify that benefit claim determinations are made in
accordance with the Plan and that, where appropriate, the Plan provisions have been
applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants.
	 
	 	(c)	 	The Committee’s decision on review shall be final. In the event the decision
on review is not provided to the Participant or Designated Beneficiary within the time
required, the claim shall be deemed denied on review.

ARTICLE XI

LAWSUITS, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE

     No lawsuit claiming entitlement to benefits under this Plan may be filed prior to exhausting

60 days after a final written decision was provided to the claimant under Article X, whichever is
sooner. Any legal action involving benefits claimed or legal obligations relating to or arising
under this Plan may be filed only in Federal District Court in the city of Denver, Colorado.
Federal law shall be applied in the interpretation and application of this Plan and the resolution
of any legal action. To the extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the state of Colorado

APPENDIX B

First Data Corporation Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan

Deferral Election Agreement

THIS AGREEMENT, dated                     , is between FIRST DATA CORPORATION (the
“Company”) and                      (the “Employee”). The Company designates the Employee as a
Participant in the Company’s Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan (the “Plan”), which is
incorporated into this Agreement. The Company and the Employee agree as follows:

Salary Deferral Election

1. I, the Employee, elect to defer a portion of my 2003 Salary [YES___] [NO___] [Initial one]. If
Yes, I irrevocably elect to defer receipt of ___% (1% to 80%) of my Salary otherwise payable to me
commencing January 1, 2003.

Note: This election will apply to your Salary defined as Plan eligible compensation excluding
annual bonus compensation, paid during 2003 and in successive years provided that you
remain eligible for participation in the Plan, unless you elect to change this deferral
election as provided in the Plan. You will have the opportunity each year to make a different
deferral election for the following year.

Bonus Deferral Elections

2. I, the Employee, elect to defer a portion of my 2002 Annual Bonus, payable in 2003, in addition
to the deferral election stated above [YES___] [NO___] [Initial one]. If Yes, I irrevocably elect
to defer receipt of ___% (1% to 80%) of the Bonus otherwise payable in 2003.

3. I, the Employee, elect to defer a portion of my 2003 Annual Bonus in addition to the deferral
election stated above [YES___] [NO___] [Initial one]. If Yes, I irrevocably elect to defer
receipt of ___% (1% to 80%) of the Bonus, if any, earned based on 2003 performance and otherwise
payable in 2004.

Note: Your election to defer 2003 Annual Bonus payable in 2004 will remain in effect for future
annual bonus compensation provided that you remain eligible for participation in the Plan, unless
you elect to change this deferral election as provided in the Plan. You will have the opportunity
each year to make a different bonus deferral election on bonus amounts to be earned during the
following year (and payable in the next following year).

The Company believes, but does not guarantee, that a deferral election made in accordance with the
terms of the Plan is effective to defer the receipt of taxable income.

I, the Employee, understand and acknowledge that my account balance in the plan is unfunded,
represents a contractual obligation of the Company, that no assets are or will be set aside from
the Company’s general assets to pay benefits under the Plan, and that I am an unsecured general
creditor of the Company with respect to my interest in and benefits under the Plan.

In witness whereof, the parties have entered into this Agreement on the day first written above.

Exhibit 10.15

THE WESTERN UNION COMPANY

2006 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT — TERMS AND CONDITIONS

	1.	 	Pursuant to The Western Union Company 2006 Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan
(the “Plan”), The Western Union Company (the “Company”) hereby grants to you (“Director”) as
of                                          (the “Grant Date”), the number of Unrestricted Stock Units (the “Units”)
relating to shares of the Company’s common stock specified in the attached Stock Unit Award
Notice (which forms part of this Agreement), subject to the conditions and restrictions set
forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each Unit shall provide for the issuance and transfer
to Director of one share of the Company’s common stock. Upon issuance and transfer of the
shares of common stock subject to the Units, Director shall have all rights incident to
ownership, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends.
	 
	2.	 	The terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this instrument by reference and made a part
hereof. Any capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined herein
shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.
	 
	3.	 	The Company, in its sole discretion, may require, prior to the issuance or delivery of any
shares of common stock pursuant to the Units, payment by Director of any Federal, state, local
or other taxes which may be required to be withheld or paid in connection with the Award.
	 
	4.	 	Prior to the settlement of the Units, Director will be paid amounts equal to the regular cash
dividends that would have been payable to Director if Director had received and held the
shares of common stock underlying the Units, which payment shall be made as soon as
practicable after the payment of dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock but in
no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in
which such dividends are paid with respect to the Company’s common stock. No amounts will be
paid with respect to record dates for dividends occurring prior the Grant Date. Prior to the
issuance and transfer of the shares of common stock underlying the Units, Director shall not
be a shareholder of record with respect to such shares and shall have no voting rights with
respect to such shares.
	 
	5.	 	The Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or otherwise as provided by the Plan. If
Director or anyone claiming under or through Director attempts to make any such sale,
transfer, assignment, pledge or other disposition of the Units in violation of this Paragraph
5, such attempted violation shall be null, void, and without effect.
	 
	6.	 	The terms of this Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Committee in its sole
discretion in any manner that it deems appropriate; provided, however, that no such amendment
shall adversely affect in a material manner any right of Director under this Agreement without
Director’s written consent. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit Director to
surrender the Units in order to exercise or realize the rights under other Awards under the
Plan, or in exchange for the grant of new Awards under the Plan, or require Director to
surrender the Units as a condition precedent of new Awards under the Plan.

 

 

	7.	 	Any action taken or decision made by the Company, the Board, or the Committee or its
delegates arising out of or in connection with the construction, administration,
interpretation or effect of the Plan or this Agreement shall lie within its sole and absolute
discretion, as the case may be, and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Director and all
persons claiming under or through Director. By accepting this grant of Units or other benefit
under the Plan, Director and each person claiming under or through Director shall be
conclusively deemed to have indicated acceptance and ratification of, and consent to, any
action taken under the Plan by the Company, the Board or the Committee or its delegates.
	 
	8.	 	This Award is discretionary, non-binding for future years and there is no promise or
guarantee that such grants will be offered to the Director in future years.
	 
	9.	 	The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of the Plan, and of its
rules and regulations, and rights relating to the Plan and to this Agreement, shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without
giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws.
