THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective as of October 1, 2010 (the “Effective Date”), is made and entered into by and between First Data Corporation (the “Company”), First Data Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and Jonathan J. Judge (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Company and Holdings desire to employ Executive upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, and Executive desires to accept such employment.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises, the mutual promises, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. Effective Date. This Agreement is effective as of the Effective Date.

2. Employment; Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Holdings agree to employ Executive for a period commencing on the Effective Date and continuing until the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Term”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that commencing with the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and on each such successive anniversary thereof (each an “Extension Date”), Executive’s period of employment hereunder shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year period, unless the Company and Holdings on the one hand or Executive on the other provides the other party or parties, as applicable, hereto 60 days’ prior written notice before the next Extension Date that the period of employment shall not be so extended.

3. Position, Duties and Administrative Support.

a. Position. While employed hereunder, Executive shall serve as the Company’s and Holdings’ Chief Executive Officer. Executive shall report to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and perform such duties and responsibilities as may be prescribed from time to time by the Board, which shall be consistent with the responsibilities of chief executive officers of comparable companies in similar lines of business. During the Term, and for so long as the Company’s and Holdings’ common stock is not publicly traded, Executive shall be a member of the Board and of the Board of Directors of Holdings (the “Holdings Board”) and all other boards of directors of subsidiaries of the Company and Executive agrees that any such board service shall be without additional compensation. If the Company’s or Holdings’ common stock becomes publicly traded, the Company if its common stock becomes publicly traded shall cause the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) and Holdings if its common stock becomes publicly traded shall cause the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Holdings Board (the “Holdings Nominating Committee”) to nominate Executive to serve as a member of the Board or the Holdings Board, as the case may be, each year Executive is slated for reelection to the Board or the Holdings Board. If the Company’s or Holding’s shareholders, as the case may be, vote in

favor of the Nominating Committee’s or Holdings Nominating Committee’s nomination of Executive to serve as a member of the Board or the Holdings Board, as the case may be, Executive agrees to serve in such capacity and also agrees that any such board service shall be without additional compensation.

b. Full-Time Efforts. Executive shall perform and discharge faithfully, diligently and to the best of his ability such duties and responsibilities and shall devote his full business-time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and Holdings. Executive agrees to promote the best interests of the Company and Holdings.

c. Administrative Support. Executive shall be provided with office space and administrative support commensurate with his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and of Holdings.

d. No Interference With Duties. Executive shall not devote time to other activities which would inhibit or otherwise interfere with the proper performance of Executive’s duties and shall not be directly or indirectly concerned or interested in any other business, occupation, activity or interest other than by reason of holding a non-controlling interest as a shareholder, securities holder or debenture holder in a corporation quoted on a nationally recognized exchange (subject to any limitations in the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics). Executive may not serve as a member of a board of directors of a for-profit company, other than Holdings, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, without the express approval of the Board; provided, however, that it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for Executive to manage personal business interests and investments and to engage in charitable and civic activities, so long as such activities do not interfere with the performance of Executive’s responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Executive will not be prohibited from continuing to serve on the boards of the entities, or remain affiliated with those entities, in each case as set forth on Exhibit E hereto.

4. Work Standard. Executive hereby agrees that he shall at all times comply with and abide by all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and all applicable work policies, procedures and rules as may be issued by the Company. Executive also agrees that he shall comply with all federal, state and local statutes, regulations and public ordinances governing the performance of his duties hereunder.

5. Compensation and Benefits.

a. Base Salary. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, so long as Executive is employed hereunder, the Company shall pay Executive, and Executive shall accept, an annual rate of base salary (“Base Salary”) in the amount of $1,500,000 effective on the Effective Date. The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and may be increased (and not decreased) from time to time at the sole discretion of the Board, and each such increase (if any) shall thereafter be regarded as Executive’s “Base Salary” for all purposes under this Agreement.

b. Annual Bonus. With respect to each full fiscal year of the Company occurring during the Term, commencing with the 2011 fiscal year of the Company, Executive shall be eligible to earn under the Company’s annual bonus plan in effect for senior executive officers of the Company (the “Bonus Plan”) an annual bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”) in a target amount equal to 150% of his Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”), based upon the achievement by the Company of annual performance targets established by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) in consultation with Executive within the first three (3) months of each fiscal year occurring during the Term. The Compensation Committee may also, in its discretion, establish minimum and maximum target Annual Bonus opportunities for Executive, based upon such performance targets as the Compensation Committee, in consultation with Executive, may in its discretion elect to establish at the same time as such performance targets are established for the Target Bonus payment. Any Annual Bonus that becomes earned hereunder shall be paid within two and one-half (2-1/2) months after the last day of the fiscal year or such other date as is provided under the Bonus Plan and conforms to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). As the actual amount payable to Executive as an Annual Bonus will be dependent upon the achievement of performance goals referred to in this Section 5(b), Executive’s actual Annual Bonus may be less than, greater than or equal to the Target Bonus. With respect to the Company’s fiscal year 2010, the Company shall pay Executive a guaranteed Annual Bonus amount equal to the product of (x) the Target Bonus amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days including and between the Effective Date and December 31, 2010, and the denominator of which is 365, to be paid at such time as annual bonuses are paid in accordance with normal Company practice, subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company and Holdings through such payment date. The Annual Bonus must be paid in cash, and may not be deferred by the Company or made subject to a vesting schedule.

c. Signing Bonus. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, the Company shall pay Executive a cash signing bonus equal to $5,000,000.

d. Equity Investment; Equity Incentive Grants.

(i) Investment. Within ten (10) business days following the Effective Date, Executive shall purchase a number of shares of Holdings’ common stock (“Common Stock”), which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement (as referenced in clause (iii) below), shall be fully vested, having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of First Data Corporation and its Affiliates, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Plan”) equal to $4,000,000. At such time, Executive shall execute the Management Stockholder’s Agreement and Sale Participation Agreement (as referenced in clause (iii) below).

(ii) Options. At the first meeting of the Compensation Committee occurring after the Effective Date, Executive shall receive a grant from Holdings of an option to acquire 4,000,000 authorized shares or outstanding shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value per share, which is expected to equal $3.00 per share (the “Option”) in accordance with the Plan and pursuant to a grant agreement in the form of the Stock Option Agreement (as referenced in clause (iii) below), having a term of ten years and vesting (A) as to 50% of the shares at the rate of 20% per year (vesting on each of the first five anniversaries of the Effective Date), subject to

Executive’s continued employment with the Company and Holdings through each such date (and except as otherwise subject to (x) acceleration pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement or (y) forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement), and (B) as to the other 50% of the shares upon the attainment of certain performance targets during the fiscal years 2011 through 2013 and subject to Executive’s continued employment with the Company and Holdings through the end of each such fiscal year (and except as otherwise subject to (x) acceleration pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Agreement or (y) forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement), all as provided in the Stock Option Agreement.

(iii) Annual Equity Grants. During the Term, if Executive earns all or any portion of an Annual Bonus for any given fiscal year of the Company, then, at the meeting of the Compensation Committee in which such Annual Bonus amount is determined, Holdings shall also grant Executive, at the same time as the Company confirms Executive’s final payout under the Bonus Plan, two equity incentive awards pursuant to the Plan, having a total value on such grant date (based on the Fair Market Value) equal to $1,000,000 in the case of the achievement of 100% of the Target Bonus amount (the “Annual Equity Awards”). In addition, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, establish minimum and maximum opportunities for Executive to earn a lesser or greater amount of equity incentive awards, based upon such performance targets as the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, establish, in the event that the performance targets required to be achieved in order for the Annual Equity Awards to be granted are not achieved or are exceeded. At least fifty percent (50%) of the Annual Equity Awards to be paid upon achievement of 100% of the Target Bonus shall be granted in the form of restricted Common Stock or restricted Common Stock units, with the actual percentage of such award value to be determined at the time of the grant by the Compensation Committee. The remainder of such Annual Equity Awards shall be granted in the form of Options, with a per share exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value per share on the grant date. These grants shall only be made so long as Executive continues to be employed by the Company and Holdings through the relevant grant date, with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such award determined by dividing the applicable dollar value of each such grant (as allocated by the Compensation Committee) by the Fair Market Value per share on the applicable grant date. The vesting, forfeiture and (for Options) exercise terms of these awards shall be determined by the Compensation Committee, in consultation with Executive, consistent with a new annual equity incentive program to be established generally for officers and key employees of the Company, subject in all instances to the terms of the Plan, the Management Stockholder’s Agreement and the Sale Participation Agreement (as referenced below). For the avoidance of doubt, except for the Annual Equity Awards provided for in this paragraph (iii), Executive shall not be entitled to receive any other annual or periodic equity grants made to similarly situated executives of the Company and Holdings, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall be eligible for consideration for any such grants, with such eligibility to be on the same terms as similarly situated executives of the Company and Holdings.

(iv) Equity Documents. The forgoing equity arrangements shall be governed by the terms and conditions of certain documents, including a Management Stockholder’s Agreement, the Plan, a Stock Option Agreement and a Sale Participation Agreement, in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A, B, C and D, respectively (collectively, the “Equity Documents”). Terms not defined herein shall be defined as in the Equity Documents.

e. Incentive, Savings and Retirement Plans. During the Term, in addition to those benefits provided to Executive pursuant to this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to participate in all incentive, savings and retirement plans, practices, policies and programs applicable generally to senior executive officers of the Company (“Peer Executives”), and on the same basis as such Peer Executives.

f. Welfare Benefit Plans. During the Term, Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents shall be eligible for participation in, and shall receive all benefits under, the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs provided by the Company (including, without limitation, medical, dental, life and disability insurance plans and programs) (“Welfare Plans”) to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives.

g. Vacation. Upon the Effective Date and each anniversary thereafter for so long as Executive is employed hereunder, Executive shall be granted five (5) weeks’ paid vacation.

h. Business Expenses. Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses incurred in carrying out the work hereunder. Executive shall follow the Company’s expense procedures that generally apply to other Company executives in accordance with the policies, practices and procedures of the Company to the extent applicable generally to Peer Executives.

i. Perquisites. Executive shall be entitled to receive such executive perquisites, fringe and other benefits as are provided to Peer Executives and their families generally under any of the Company’s plans and/or programs in effect from time to time and such other benefits as are customarily available to executives of the Company and their families. Perquisites shall include (a) providing Executive with travel on a private airplane when Executive travels on business on behalf of the Company and (b) reasonable non-exclusive use of the Company’s plane for personal travel for Executive and his spouse, consistent with Company policy and practice (any income from which shall be imputed to Executive at SIFL rates in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.61-21(g)(5)).

j. Relocation. The Company will reimburse Executive for reasonable and customary relocation expenses directly related to Executive’s relocation from the Rochester, New York area to the Atlanta, Georgia area, consistent with Company policy and practice.

6. Termination for Cause. This Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated immediately at any time by the Company or Holdings without any liability owing to Executive or Executive’s beneficiaries under this Agreement, except Base Salary through the date of termination, any unreimbursed business expenses incurred in accordance with Company policy, benefits under any plan or agreement covering Executive which shall be governed by the

terms of such plan or agreement, and any rights of indemnification set forth in this Agreement which arise from circumstances unrelated to the events constituting Cause, under the following conditions, each of which shall constitute “Cause” or “Termination for Cause”:

a. Continued failure substantially to perform duties with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity due to physical or mental illness);

b. Willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with Executive’s duties with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any willful misrepresentation, willful act or willful omission which is injurious to the financial condition or business reputation of the Company or any of its affiliates;

c. A material breach of the provisions of Sections 13-16 of this Agreement, provided that in all cases, Executive shall be given written notice by the Company of such failure and a period of at least ten (10) business days following the delivery of such notice to cure the breach, to the extent the breach is curable; or

d. Conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime constituting (i) a felony under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or (ii) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude.

For the purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, by Executive will be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief Executive’s act, or failure to act, was in the best interest of the Company or Holdings, and under no circumstances will the failure to meet performance targets, after a good faith attempt to do so, in and of itself constitute Cause. A termination for Cause under (x) Section 6(d) above shall be effective when the Company or Holdings has given Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive for Cause, describing those acts or omissions that are believed to constitute Cause, and (y) Section 6(a) or (b) shall be effective when the Company or Holdings has given Executive written notice of his failure to perform or his conduct, act or omission, respectively, and Executive has not cured such failure, conduct, act or omission, in the reasonable judgment of the Board or the Holdings Board, as applicable, within ten (10) business days following delivery of such notice; provided that in all cases, no termination for Cause shall be effective unless the Board or the Holdings Board, as applicable, has determined, by majority vote, that Executive’s conduct constitutes Cause hereunder and in the case of a breach under Section 6(a) or (b) above that Executive has not substantially cured the breach; provided, further, that Cause shall cease to exist for an event on the 90^th day following the later of its occurrence or the date upon which the Company or Holdings had knowledge of, or should have reasonably had knowledge of, such event, unless the Company or Holdings has given Executive written notice thereof prior to such date.

7. Termination Upon Death. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate immediately upon Executive’s death, and neither the Company nor Holdings shall have any further liability to Executive or his beneficiaries under this Agreement, other than for the timely payment or provision of the Termination Payment and the Other Benefits (as defined in Sections 9(a)(i) and

9(a)(ii), respectively), including without limitation benefits under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to death benefits, if any, as are applicable to Executive on the date of his death, and for any rights of indemnification set forth in this Agreement.

8. Disability.

a. If the Company or Holdings determines in good faith that the Disability of Executive has occurred during the Term (pursuant to the definition of Disability set forth below), either the Company or Holdings may give to Executive written notice of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment and this Agreement. In such event, Executive’s employment with the Company and Holdings and this Agreement shall terminate effective on the date provided in such notice (the “Disability Effective Date”). If Executive’s employment is terminated by reason of his Disability, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligations to Executive, except that the Company shall provide Executive with the payment or provision of the Termination Payment and the Other Benefits (as such terms are defined in Section 9(a)(i) and (ii)(F) below), including without limitation benefits under such plans, programs, practices and policies relating to disability benefits, if any, as are applicable to Executive on the Disability Effective Date, and any rights of indemnification set forth in this Agreement.

b. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean: (i) a long-term disability entitling Executive to receive benefits under the Company’s long-term disability plan as then in effect or under Executive’s portable long-term disability insurance policy; or (ii) if no such plan is then in effect or, in the case of the plan, the plan is in effect but does not apply to Executive, then “Disability” shall be as defined pursuant to Section 409A of the Code. Under this Section 8, unless otherwise required by law, the existence of a Disability shall be determined by the Company or Holdings, only upon receipt of a written medical opinion from a qualified physician selected by or acceptable to the Company or Holdings, as applicable, and Executive. In this circumstance, to the extent permitted by law, Executive shall, if reasonably requested by the Company or Holdings, submit to a physical examination by that qualified physician.

9. Termination by the Company or Holdings without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason. If this Agreement and Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated by the Company or Holdings without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below) prior to the expiration of the Term (it being understood by the parties that termination by death or Disability shall not constitute a termination without Cause), then Executive shall be entitled to the following benefits upon the execution and effectiveness of the Release attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Release”). For all purposes under Section 8 and this Section 9, any payments due to Executive solely as a result of a termination of his employment that is not a “separation from service” shall be postponed until the occurrence of a “separation from service” (or such earlier permitted event) to the extent necessary to satisfy Section 409A of the Code.

a. (i) Commencing on the 60^th day after Executive’s termination of employment, but contingent upon the execution and effectiveness of the Release attached hereto prior to such date, and subject to Section 19(r) below, Executive shall be entitled to:

(A)

payment, in installments, ratably over twenty-four (24) months after such date (the “Severance Period”) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll cycle and procedures, of an amount equal to the product of (x) two (2) multiplied by (y) the sum of (A) Executive’s Base Salary in effect as of the date of termination, and (B) the average of Executive’s Target Bonus for the Company’s fiscal year in which his termination of employment occurs and the immediately prior fiscal year, or the Target Bonus solely for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, if Executive was not employed by the Company in the immediately preceding fiscal year (the “Termination Payment”); provided that in the event of Executive’s termination of employment by Executive for Good Reason as a result of a Change of Control (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) within two years following such Change of Control, the Termination Payment shall be made in a lump sum cash payment; and

(B)

a monthly amount equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for Executive and his eligible dependents, including medical, dental and prescription drug coverage for Executive and his dependents, for the period from the date of termination until the earlier of (i) the end of the Severance Period or (ii) the date on which Executive becomes eligible to receive comparable benefits from a subsequent employer; provided, however, that if there are any delayed payment requirements for the first sixty (60) days or six (6) months after the date of termination, the amounts for such period shall be payable in lump sum immediately after the end of the delay until such time as Executive becomes eligible for substantially similar benefits from another employer.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided for in this clause (ii), on the 60^th day after Executive’s termination of employment, to the extent not theretofore paid or provided to Executive, Executive shall be entitled to: (A) any other accrued but unpaid Base Salary to the date of termination of employment; (B) any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid for fiscal years ended prior to the year in which the date of termination occurs; (C) a pro rata portion of the Annual Bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs, equal to the product of (x) the full Annual Bonus that would otherwise be payable in respect of such year if Executive had remained employed through such year, without any reduction due to individual performance factors, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year to the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365, with such bonus amount to be paid in the calendar year following the year in which Executive’s termination occurred at the time that the full Annual Bonus would have been paid had Executive’s employment not been terminated, (D) a pro rata amount of the Annual Equity Award for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs, payable in cash, equal to the product of (x) the full dollar amount of the Annual Equity Awards that would otherwise have been granted in respect of such year (if any) if Executive had remained employed through such year and

(y) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of days elapsed in such fiscal year to the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365, with the dollar amount of such Annual Equity Award to be paid in the calendar year following the year in which Executive’s termination occurred, at the time that the full Annual Bonus would have been paid had Executive’s employment not been terminated; (E) to the extent applicable to Executive and to the extent provided under the terms of the Severance/Change in Control Policy (as defined below), if any outstanding cash incentive awards (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Annual Equity Awards) granted to Executive are eligible to become fully vested and payable solely contingent upon Executive’s continued employment hereunder and the passage of time, continued vesting of such awards, with payment of such awards to be made in accordance with the awards’ terms, notwithstanding Executive’s earlier termination of employment, and (F) other amounts or accrued benefits required to be paid or provided or which Executive is eligible to receive (whether on such 60^th day or thereafter) under any employee benefit plan, program, policy or practice or contract or agreement of the Company (all of such other amounts and benefits referred to in this Section 9(a)(ii) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Other Benefits”). For the avoidance of doubt, Executive shall not be a participant in that certain Company Severance/Change in Control Policy as amended and restated effective as of September 24, 2007 and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, as it may be further amended from time to time (the “Severance/ Change in Control Policy”).

b. In the event that there is an alleged material breach by Executive of any continuing obligations under Sections 14 or 16 of this Agreement or the Release, any unpaid amounts under this Section 9 shall be suspended until such time as there has been a final determination made by the appropriate tribunal that Executive is in fact materially breached any provision of such section, at which time any right to further payment shall be forfeited. The Company shall only implement a payment suspension following written notice of such breach and providing Executive a period of at least 30 days following such written notice to cure the material breach. Any payments or reimbursements under this Section 9 shall not be deemed the continuation of Executive’s employment for any purpose. Except as specifically enumerated in the Release, the Company’s payment obligations under this Section 9 will not negate or reduce (i) any amounts otherwise due but not yet paid to Executive by the Company, (ii) any other amounts payable to Executive outside this Agreement, (iii) those benefits owed under any other plan or agreement covering Executive which shall be governed by the terms of such plan or agreement or (iv) any amounts due to Executive under his rights of indemnification hereunder or otherwise.

c. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean:

(i) A reduction by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary or Annual Bonus (other than a general reduction in Base Salary or Annual Bonus that affects all members of senior management of the Company and its subsidiaries equally);

(ii) A relocation of Executive’s primary workplace by more than fifty (50) miles from Executive’s current workplace location;

(iii) A substantial reduction in or demotion of Executive’s duties, responsibilities or title or a change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities under this Agreement, so that he is no longer required to report only to the Board; it being understood that if, following a Change of Control, Executive ceases to remain Chief Executive Officer of the entire operating entity that both comprises the business of the Company immediately prior to a Change of Control and the business (or businesses) of the entity (or entities) involved in such transaction, ceasing to serve as such will be considered a substantial reduction in or demotion of Executive’s duties, responsibilities or title or a change in Executive’s reporting responsibilities under this Agreement; or

(iv) A material breach by the Company of this Agreement.

provided that any of the events described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 9(c) shall constitute Good Reason only if the Company fails to cure such event within thirty (30) days after receipt from Executive of written notice of the event which constitutes Good Reason; provided, further, that Good Reason shall not include any isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure by the Company that is not in bad faith and is cured within ten (10) business days after Executive gives the Company notice of such event; provided, further, that any notice of termination by Executive as a result of “Good Reason” shall be given within ninety (90) days after the initial occurrence of the condition giving rise to “Good Reason” and termination for “Good Reason” occurs within 180 days after such initial occurrence of the condition giving rise to “Good Reason.”

d. Respecting all amounts due to Executive under this Section 8, Section 9 or under Section 10, Executive shall not be obliged to seek other employment or take any other action by way of mitigation of the amounts payable to Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall the amount of any payment hereunder be reduced by any compensation earned by Executive as a result of employment by another employer, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

10. Non-Renewal of Term. In the event the Company elects not to extend the Term pursuant to Section 2, unless Executive’s employment is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6, 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, the expiration of the Term and Executive’s termination of employment hereunder shall occur on the close of business on the day immediately preceding the next scheduled Extension Date and Executive shall be entitled to receive the payments and benefits applicable to a termination of Executive’s employment without Cause pursuant to Section 9, on the same terms and conditions as are applicable under Section 9. Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

11. No Disparaging Statement. Executive and the Company covenant and agree that they shall not engage in any communications which shall disparage one another or interfere with their existing or prospective business relationships.

12. Business Protection Provision Definitions.

Executive shall be reimbursed for his time spent on such assistance at such reasonable rates as are mutually agreed to by the parties.

c. All Work Product shall be owned exclusively by the Company. To the greatest extent possible, any Work Product shall be deemed to be “work made for hire” (as defined in the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.A. § 101 et seq., as amended), and Executive hereby unconditionally

and irrevocably transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title and interest Executive currently has or may have by operation of law or otherwise in or to any Work Product, including, without limitation, all patents, copyrights, trademarks (and the goodwill associated therewith), trade secrets, service marks (and the goodwill associated therewith) and other intellectual property rights. Executive agrees to execute and deliver to the Company any transfers, assignments, documents or other instruments which the Company may deem necessary or appropriate, from time to time, to protect the rights granted herein or to vest complete title and ownership of any and all Work Product, and all associated intellectual property and other rights therein, exclusively in the Company.

14. Non-Interference with Executives. Through the Term and thereafter throughout the Restricted Period, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, alone or in conjunction with any other person or Entity: actively recruit, solicit, attempt to solicit, induce or attempt to induce any person who is an exempt executive of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to leave or cease such employment for any reason whatsoever;

15. Non-Interference with Business Relationships.

a. Executive acknowledges that, in the course of employment, Executive will learn about the Company’s and Holdings’ business, services, materials, programs and products and the manner in which they are developed, marketed, serviced and provided. Executive knows and acknowledges that the Company and Holdings have invested considerable time and money in developing its products, vendor and other service provider relationships and agreements, and marketing techniques and that those things are unique and original. Executive further acknowledges that the Company and Holdings have a strong business reason to keep secret information relating to the Company’s and Holdings’ business concepts, ideas, programs, plans and processes, so as not to aid the Company’s and Holdings’ competitors. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the protection outlined in (b) below is necessary and reasonable.

b. During the Restricted Period, Executive will not, on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or Entity, solicit, contact, call upon, or communicate with any person or entity or any representative of any person or Entity who has a business relationship with the Company or Holdings and with whom Executive had business contact while employed, if such contact or communication is reasonably likely to interfere with the Company’s or Holdings’ business relationships or result in unfair competitive advantage over the Company or Holdings.

16. Agreement Not to Work in Competitive Position. Executive covenants and agrees not to accept, obtain or work in a Competitive Position within the Territory for the Restricted Period. Nothing in this Section 16 shall prohibit Executive from being (i) a stockholder in a mutual fund or a diversified investment company or (ii) an owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation, any securities of which are publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

17. Acknowledgements Regarding Sections 12 – 16.

a. Executive, the Company and Holdings expressly covenant and agree that the scope, territorial, time and other restrictions contained in Sections 12 through 16 of this Agreement constitute the most reasonable and equitable restrictions possible to protect the business interests of the Company and Holdings given: (i) the business of the Company and Holdings; (ii) the competitive nature of the Company’s industry; and (iii) that Executive’s skills are such that Executive could easily find alternative, commensurate employment or consulting work in Executive’s field which would not violate any of the provisions of this Agreement.

b. Executive acknowledges that the compensation and benefits described in Sections 5 and 9 are also in consideration of his covenants and agreements contained in Sections 12 through 16 hereof.

c. Executive acknowledges and agrees that a breach by Executive of the obligations set forth in Sections 12 through 16 will likely cause the Company and/or Holdings irreparable injury and that, in such event, the Company and/or Holdings shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to such other and further relief as may be proper.

d. The parties agree that if, at any time, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the provisions of Section 12 through 16 are unreasonable under Georgia law as to time or area or both, the Company and/or Holdings shall be entitled to enforce this Agreement for such period of time or within such area as may be determined reasonable by such court.

18. Return of Materials. Upon Executive’s termination, Executive shall return to the Company all written, electronic, recorded or graphic materials of any kind belonging or relating to the Company or its affiliates, including any originals, copies and abstracts in Executive’s possession or control. Executive’s rolodex (or other tangible or electronic address book), his financial, benefit and compensation records and files, and his cellular telephone number are Executive’s personal property.

19. General Provisions.

a. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by the parties hereto.

b. Binding Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Executive, his heirs and personal representatives, and the Company and Holdings and their respective successors and assigns. In the event of Executive’s death prior to payment of all amounts due to Executive under this Agreement, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be paid to Executive’s estate as and when such amounts would have been paid to Executive had he survived.

c. Waiver Of Breach. The waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other breach.

d. Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless during his employment or service as a member of the Board (or both) to the maximum extent and provided under and subject to the terms of the Company’s charter and by-laws (as in

effect as of the date hereof, subject to any across- the-board changes applicable to senior executives of comparable stature to Executive) and applicable law. During the Term and for a term of six years thereafter, the Company shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense, directors and officers liability insurance providing coverage for Executive in the same amount as for members of the Board in respect of acts and omissions of Executive in his capacity as such or as a director of the Company and occurring during Executive’s employment or service as a member of the Board (or both).

(ii) Executive shall provide his reasonable cooperation in connection with any proceeding (or any appeal from any proceeding) referenced above, as well as any proceeding which relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment hereunder.

e. Unsecured General Creditor. The Company shall neither reserve nor specifically set aside funds for the payment of its obligations under this Agreement, and such obligations shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company.

f. No Effect On Other Arrangements. It is expressly understood and agreed that the payments made in accordance with this Agreement are in addition to any other benefits or compensation to which Executive may be entitled or for which Executive may be eligible.

g. Tax Withholding. There shall be deducted from each payment under this Agreement the amount of any tax required by any governmental authority to be withheld and paid over by the Company to such governmental authority for the account of Executive.

h. Section 280G.

r. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Omnibus Provision. It is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be paid and provided in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. In connection with effecting such compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the following shall apply:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company is authorized to amend this Agreement, to void or amend any election made by Executive under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be necessary to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder); provided, no such amendment shall be effective without Executive’s consent to the extent reducing the economic value of the Agreement to Executive (as determined on a pre-tax basis).

(ii) Neither Executive nor the Company shall take any action to accelerate or delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in any manner which would not be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(A)

Payment may be delayed for a reasonable period in the event the payment is not administratively practical due to events beyond the recipient’s control such as where the recipient is not competent to receive the benefit payment, there is a dispute as to the amount due or the proper recipient of such benefit payment, additional time is needed to calculate the amount payable, or the payment would jeopardize the solvency of the Company; and

(B)

Payments shall be delayed in the following circumstances: (1) where the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate the terms of a loan agreement to which the Company is a party and that the violation would cause material harm to the Company; or (2) where the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will violate federal securities laws or other applicable laws; provided that any payment delayed by operation of this clause (B) will be made at the earliest date at which the Company reasonably anticipates that the payment will not be limited or cause the violations described;

Provided, such delay in payment shall occur only in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations thereunder.

(iii) If at the time of any separation from service Executive is a specified employee at a time in which the Company (or successor) is a publicly traded corporation, within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and regulations thereunder, to the minimum extent required to satisfy Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and regulations thereunder, any payment or provision of benefits to Executive in connection

with his separation from service (as determined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code) shall be postponed and paid in a lump sum on the first business day following the date that is six months after Executive’s separation from service (the “409A Deferral Period”), and the remaining payments due to be made in installments or periodically after the 409A Deferral Period shall be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be so postponed, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company promptly after the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled.

(iv) If a “change of ownership or effective control of the Company or of the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company” under Section 280G of the Code (“280G CiC”) occurs which does not constitute a change in ownership of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then payment of any amount or provision of any benefit payable pursuant to such 280G CiC under this Agreement which is considered to be a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be postponed until another permissible payment event contained in Section 409A of the Code occurs (e.g., death, disability, separation from service from the Company and its affiliated companies as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), including any deferral of payment or provision of benefits for the 409A Deferral Period as provided above.

(v) References under this Agreement to Executive’s termination of employment shall be deemed to refer to the date upon which Executive has experienced a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. All payments made under this Agreement shall constitute “separate payments” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. To the extent any reimbursements or in-kind benefits due to Executive under this Agreement constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, any such reimbursements or in-kind benefits shall be paid to Executive in a manner consistent with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv).

s. Legal Expenses. The Company shall pay the reasonable attorney’s fees and related legal expenses incurred by Executive in connection with this Agreement.

t. Management Stockholder Matters. In connection with Executive’s participation as a party to the Management Stockholder’s Agreement applicable to stock purchased by, and equity awarded to Executive, the following shall apply:

(i) The Company shall recommend that the Board extend to Executive “Piggyback Registration Rights” under the terms of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement (all capitalized terms used in this Section 19(t) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall be as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement); and

(ii) If a Change of Control (as defined in the Management Stockholder’s Agreement) occurs within 180 days after the Repurchase Calculation Date in connection with a Section 6(b) Call, the Fair Market Value used to calculate the purchase price in

connection with the exercise of a Call Option shall be adjusted as a result of the Change of Control, such that the Company shall pay Executive the excess, if any, of (x) the per share price paid in respect of Common Stock in such Change of Control over (y) the applicable aggregate purchase price used in the Call Option, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company or Holdings under such Call Option (whether purchased directly or through the Company’s payment in cancellation for shares subject to Holdings stock options held by Executive); and

(iii) For purposes of Section 23 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement, the post-termination provisions of this Agreement shall be controlling and any determination as to whether Executive is in violation of Section 23 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement shall be by reference to the post-termination provisions of this Agreement, except that Section 23(c) shall continue to apply (and the reference to Section 23(a) contained therein shall instead refer to Sections 12 through 16 of this Agreement).

WHEREAS, in connection with the Merger, KKR 2006 Fund L.P. and its affiliated investment funds and certain other co-investors (collectively, the “Investors”) contributed certain funds to Parent in exchange for limited partnership units of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Management Stockholder has been selected to (i) transfer cash to the Company in exchange for shares of common stock of the Company (“Purchased Stock”) and (ii) receive options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) (together with any other options the Management Stockholder may otherwise be granted in the future, the “Options”) and be eligible to receive future incentive awards based on Common Stock, pursuant to the terms set forth below and the terms of the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan for Key Employees of First Data Corporation and its Affiliates, as amended from time to time (the “Option Plan”) and the Stock Option Agreement dated as of [the date hereof], entered into by and between the Company and the Management Stockholder (together with any other option agreements entered into by the Management Stockholder and the Company in the future, the “Stock Option Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, this Agreement is one of several other agreements (“Other Management Stockholders Agreements”) which have been or in the future will be entered into between the Company and other individuals who are or will be key employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Other Management Stockholders”).

NOW THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:

1.	Issuance of Purchased Stock; New Options.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Management Stockholder hereby subscribes for and shall purchase as of the date hereof, and the Company shall issue and deliver to the Management Stockholder on such date, such number of shares of Purchased Stock at a per share purchase price, in each case as may be set forth on Schedule I.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and as set forth in the Option Plan, as of [the date hereof] the Company is granting to the Management Stockholder Options to acquire such number of shares of Common Stock, and at such exercise price, as set forth in such Management Stockholder’s Stock Option Agreement which the Parties shall execute and deliver to each other copies of concurrently with the issuance of such Options.

(c) The Company shall have no obligation to sell any Purchased Stock to any person who (i) is a resident or citizen of a state or other jurisdiction in which the sale of the Common Stock to him would constitute a violation of the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdiction or (ii) is not an employee or director of the Company or its subsidiaries as of the date of such proposed purchase.

2.	Management Stockholder’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

(a) The Management Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that he will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (any of the foregoing acts being referred to herein as a “transfer”) any shares of Purchased Stock or, at the time of exercise, Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Options and any other Common Stock otherwise acquired and/or held by the Management Stockholder Entities as of or after the date hereof, whether pursuant to the exercise of Options or otherwise (all such shares collectively referred to as “Stock”), except as provided in this Section 2(a) below and Section 3 hereof. If the Management Stockholder is an Affiliate of the Company, the Management Stockholder also agrees and acknowledges that he will not transfer any shares of Stock unless:

In addition, during the period commencing on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date through the earlier of a Change of Control or consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder may only transfer shares of Stock in compliance with Section 4 or pursuant to the Sale Participation Agreement.

Any transfers made pursuant to such waiver or which are later made subject to such a waiver shall, as of the date of the waiver and at all times thereafter, not be deemed to violate any applicable restrictions on transfers contained in this Agreement.

4.	Right of First Refusal.

(a) If, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the earlier to occur of a Change of Control or consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer any or all of the Management Stockholder’s Stock to a third party (any such third party, the “ROFR Transferee”) (other than any transfer pursuant to clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 2(a), to the extent made to a third party), the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company in writing of the Management Stockholder’s intention to transfer such Stock (such written notice, a “ROFR Notice”). The ROFR Notice shall include a true and correct description of the number of shares of Stock to be transferred and the material terms of such proposed transfer and a copy of any proposed documentation to be entered into with any ROFR Transferee in respect of such transfer) and shall contain an irrevocable offer to sell such Stock to the Company or its designees (as provided below) (in the manner set forth below) at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFR Transferee and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer. At any time within twenty (20) days after the date of the receipt by the Company of the ROFR Notice, the Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to a ROFR Transferee, pursuant to Section 4(b).

(b) The Company shall have the right and option to purchase, or to arrange for a subsidiary, third party or Affiliate to purchase, all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFR Transferee at a purchase price equal to the minimum price at which the Management Stockholder proposes to transfer such Stock to any ROFR Transferee and otherwise on substantially the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer (or, if the proposed transfer to any ROFR Transferee includes any consideration other than cash, then at the sole option of the Company, at the equivalent all cash price, determined in good faith by the Board), by delivering (i) a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) and/or (ii) if the proposed transfer to any ROFR Transferee includes any consideration other than cash, any such non-cash consideration to be paid to the Management Stockholder at the principal office of the Company against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the shares of Stock so purchased, appropriately endorsed by the Management Stockholder. If at the end of the 20-day period, the Company has not tendered (or caused to be tendered) the purchase price for such shares in the manner set forth above, the

Management Stockholder may, during the succeeding 60-day period, sell not less than all of the shares of Stock proposed to be transferred to any ROFR Transferee (subject to compliance with the other terms of this Agreement) on terms no less favorable to the Management Stockholder than those contained in the ROFR Notice. Promptly after such sale, the Management Stockholder shall notify the Company of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such evidence of the completion and time of completion of such sale and of the terms thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company. If, at the end of sixty (60) days following the expiration of the 20-day period during which the Company is entitled hereunder to purchase the Stock, the Management Stockholder has not completed the sale of such shares of the Stock as aforesaid, all of the restrictions on sale, transfer or assignment contained in this Agreement shall again be in effect with respect to such shares of the Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of occurrence of a Change in Control or a Qualified Public Offering.

5.	The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Stock and Options to the Company.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, and subject to Section 6(b), if the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company (or, if applicable, any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates) terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management Stockholder, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, shall, until the later of (x) 365 days following the date of such termination due to death or Disability or (y) if the Company has declared an Event has occurred, 30 days following the date on which the Management Stockholder receives notice that an Event no longer exists (the “Put Period”), have the right to:

(i) With respect to Stock, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the shares of Stock then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per share price equal to Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date (the “Section 5 Repurchase Price”); and

(ii) With respect to any outstanding vested Options, sell to the Company, and the Company shall be required to purchase, on one occasion, all of the then vested Options then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities for an amount equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Section 5 Repurchase Price over the Option Exercise Price and (y) the number of Exercisable Option Shares, which Options shall be terminated in exchange for such payment. In the event the Management Stockholder Entity elects to sell under this Section 5(a)(ii) and the foregoing Option Excess Price is zero or a negative number, all outstanding exercisable Options granted to the Management Stockholder shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect thereof. In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of employment as a result of death or Disability all unvested Options shall be terminated and cancelled without any payment therefor.

(b) In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise their rights pursuant to Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder Entities shall send written notice to the Company, at any time during the Put Period, of their intention to sell shares of

Stock in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(i) and/or to sell such Options in exchange for the payment referred to in Section 5(a)(ii) (as the case may be) and shall indicate the number of shares of Stock to be sold and the number of Options (based on the number of Exercisable Option Shares) to be sold with payment in respect thereof (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases shall take place at the principal office of the Company on no later than the twentieth business day (such date to be determined by the Company) after the giving of the Redemption Notice. The applicable Repurchase Price (including any payment with respect to the Options as described above) shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, at the option of the Company, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Stock so purchased and appropriate documents cancelling the Options so terminated appropriately endorsed or executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities or any duly authorized representative.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, if (i) there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under any loan, guarantee or other agreement under which the Company or any subsidiary of the Company has borrowed money or if the repurchase referred to in Section 5(a) (or Section 6 below, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default on the part of the Company or any affiliate of the Company under any such agreement; (ii) a repurchase would reasonably be expected to be prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if the Company reincorporates in another state, the business corporation law of such state) or (iii) a repurchase would materially impair the cash flow of the Company, (each such occurrence being an “Event”), the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase for cash any of the Stock or the Options from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities to the extent it would cause any such default, materially impair cash flow or would be so prohibited by the Event for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which cash settlement is prohibited, may satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management Stockholder Entities’ exercise of their rights under Section 5(a) by delivering to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity a note with a principal amount equal to the amount payable under this Section 5 that was not paid in cash, having terms acceptable to the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) lenders and permitted under the Company’s (and its Affiliate’s, as applicable) debt instruments but which in any event (i) shall be mandatorily repayable promptly and to the extent that an Event no longer prohibits the payment of cash to the applicable Management Stockholder Entity pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) shall bear interest at a rate equal to the effective rate of interest in respect of the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated subordinated public debt securities (including any original issue discount). Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 5(d), if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety (90) days after the date of the Redemption Notice, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Redemption Notice with respect to that portion of the Stock and Options repurchased by the Company from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 5 with the note described in the foregoing sentence, and such repurchase shall be rescinded; provided that, upon such rescission, such note shall be immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company or the Management Stockholder Entities, and notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of principal or interest thereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any payment obligation of the Company which has arisen prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, Section 5 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the occurrence of such Change in Control.

(b) If the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, to the extent required from time to time to enable the Management Stockholder to sell shares of Stock, subject to compliance with the provisions hereof (including requirements of the Coordination Committee of Parent or the Company) without registration under the Exchange Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (B) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC.

9.	“Piggyback” Registration Rights. Effective after the occurrence of an initial Public Offering:

(a) The Parties agree to be bound, with respect to Senior Management Stockholders or to any other Management Stockholders who are provided such rights pursuant to this Section 9, by all of the terms, conditions and obligations of the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) as they relate to the exercise of piggyback registration rights as provided in Sections 4, 6, 7, 8 and 12 (but not Section 12(1)) of the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by and among the Company and Investors party thereto (the “Piggyback Registration Rights”), as in effect on September 24, 2007 (subject, with respect to any such Management Stockholder provided Piggyback Registration Rights, only to any amendments thereto to which such Management Stockholder has agreed in writing to be bound), and, if any of the Investors are selling stock, shall have all of the rights and privileges of the Piggyback Registration Rights (including, without limitation, the right to participate in the initial Public Offering and any rights to indemnification and/or contribution from the Company and/or the Investors), in each case as if the Management Stockholder were an original party (other than the Company) to the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to applicable and customary underwriter restrictions; provided, however, that at no time shall the Management Stockholder have any rights to request registration under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement. All Stock purchased or held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) In the event of a sale of Common Stock by any of the Investors in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will promptly notify each Senior Management Stockholder or other Management Stockholder to whom the Board, after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, has decided to extend the Piggyback Registration Rights, in writing (a “Piggyback Notice”) of any proposed registration (a “Proposed Registration”), which Piggyback Notice shall include: the principal terms and conditions of the proposed registration, including (A) the number of the shares of Common Stock to be sold, (B) the fraction expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities (other than Management Stockholders) by the total number of shares held by the holders of Registrable Securities (other than Management Stockholders) selling the shares of Common Stock, (C) the proposed per share purchase price (or an estimate thereof), and (D) the proposed date of sale. If within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, of such Piggyback Notice, the Company receives from the applicable Management Stockholder Entities of the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, a written request (a “Request”) to register shares of Stock held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (which Request will be irrevocable unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, if any, and the Company), shares of Stock will be so registered as provided in this Section 9; provided, however, that for each such registration statement only one Request, which shall be executed by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities, may be submitted for all Registrable Securities held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities.

(c) The maximum number of shares of Stock which will be registered pursuant to a Request will be the lowest of (i) the number of shares of Stock then held by the Management Stockholder Entities, including all shares of Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities are then entitled to acquire under an unexercised Option to the extent then exercisable, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock being sold by holders of Registrable Securities (other than Management Stockholders) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of shares of Stock owned by the holders of Registrable Securities (other than Management Stockholders) or (ii) the maximum number of shares of Stock which the Company can register in connection with such Request in the Proposed Registration without adverse effect on the offering in the view of the managing underwriters (reduced pro rata as more fully described in subsection (d) of this Section 9) or (iii) the maximum number of shares which the Senior Management Stockholder (pro rata based upon the aggregate number of shares of Stock the Senior Management Stockholder and Other Management Stockholders have requested to be registered) is permitted to register under the Piggyback Registration Rights.

(d) If a Proposed Registration involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in the Proposed Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering, so as to be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the shares of Stock offered in such Public Offering as contemplated by the Company, then, unless the managing underwriter advises that marketing factors require a different allocation, the Company will include in the Proposed Registration (i) first, 100% of the shares of Stock the Company proposes to sell and (ii) second, to the extent of the number of shares of Stock requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, the number of shares of Stock

which the selling holders of Registrable Securities, the Senior Management Stockholder and all Other Management Stockholders who are entitled to piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Stock and any other Persons who are entitled to piggyback or incidental registration rights in respect of Stock (together, the “Holders”) have requested to be included in the Proposed Registration, such amount to be allocated pro rata among all requesting Holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Stock then held by each such Holder (including upon exercise of all exercisable Options) (provided that any shares thereby allocated to any such Holder that exceed such Holder’s request will be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner); provided that any Holder that is allocated less than 100% of the shares in such Holder’s request, shall be entitled to transfer that number of shares equal to the difference between such Holder’s requested number of shares (up to the maximum provided for under this Section 9) and the number actually transferred by such Holder in the Proposed Registration, following the expiration of any lock-up period.

(e) Upon delivering a Request a Senior Management Stockholder or other Management Stockholder having Piggyback Registration Rights pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9 will, if requested by the Company, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney having customary terms and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to the shares of Stock to be registered pursuant to this Section 9 (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will provide, among other things, that the Senior Management Stockholder or Management Stockholder, as the case may be, will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (to the extent applicable) representing such shares of Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof or accompanied by duly executed stock powers in blank) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Senior Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Senior Management Stockholder’s or Management Stockholder’s behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

(f) The Management Stockholder agrees that he will execute such other agreements as the Company may reasonably request to further evidence the provisions of this Section 9, including reasonable and customary lock-up agreements; provided that Parent and its Affiliates enter into a similar agreement if requested by the managing underwriter.

(g) Notwithstanding Section 12(1) of the Registration Rights Agreement, this Section 9 will terminate on the date on which such Management Stockholder ceases to own any Registrable Securities.

10.

Additional Rights of Management Stockholders.

Management Stockholder and the Other Management Stockholders who are not Senior Management Stockholders.

11.

(ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly, act as a proprietor, investor, director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any business that directly or indirectly competes, at the relevant determination date, with the business of the Company, any Investor or any of their respective Affiliates in any geographic area where the Company or its Affiliates manufactures, produces, sells, leases, rents, licenses or otherwise provides products or services,

(iii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, directly or indirectly (A) solicit customers or clients of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate their relationship with the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with any business of the Company, any of its subsidiaries, the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates or (B) solicit or

offer employment to any person who is, or has been at any time during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the termination of the Management Stockholder’s employment employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates; provided that in each of (ii) and (iii) above, such restrictions shall not apply with respect to any Investor or any of their Affiliates that is not engaged in any business that competes, directly or indirectly, with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Because the Management Stockholder’s services are unique and because the Management Stockholder has had access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security).

(c) In the event that during the Restricted Period, the Management Stockholder breaches any of the provisions of Section 23(a) following the Company’s repurchase of Stock and/or Options as provided for herein, in addition to all other remedies that may be available to the Company, the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company any amounts actually paid to him by the Company in respect of any repurchase by the Company of any Options held by the Management Stockholder and, with respect to Stock, the Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company such amounts, if any, that the Management Stockholder received in excess of the price paid by the Management Stockholder in acquiring such Stock, on a net after-tax basis.

For the avoidance of doubt, (a) any calculation of Sponsor Return will for purposes of Section 3.1(d) be calculated solely with respect to Sponsor Shares actually sold or otherwise disposed of in the applicable transaction, and (b) Sponsor Return will not be calculated taking into account the receipt by the Sponsor or any of its affiliates of any management, monitoring, transaction or other fees payable to such parties by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that any management fees received by such parties in excess of those contemplated in the management agreement between the Sponsor and the Company (including any stipulated or specified increases increase mechanisms) shall be included in Sponsor Return.

GRANT OF OPTIONS

Section 2.1. Grant of Options

For good and valuable consideration, on and as of the Grant Date, the Company irrevocably grants to the Optionee the following Stock Options: (a) the Time Option and (b) the Performance Option, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 2.2. Exercise Price

Subject to Section 2.4, the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be equal to $3.00.

Section 2.3. No Guarantee of Employment

Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without Cause, subject to the applicable provisions of the Optionee’s employment agreement with the Company.

Section 2.4. Adjustments to Option

The Options shall be subject to the adjustment provisions of Sections 8 and 9 of the Plan, provided, however, that in the event of the payment of an extraordinary dividend by the Company to its stockholders, then: the Exercise Prices of the Options shall be reduced by the amount of the dividend paid, but only to the extent the Committee determines it to be permitted under applicable tax laws and not have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee under Section 409A of the Code; and, if such reduction cannot be fully effected due to such tax laws and it will not have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee, then the Company shall pay to the Optionee a cash payment, on a per Share basis, equal to the balance of the amount of the dividend not permitted to be applied to reduce the Exercise Price of the applicable Option as follows: (a) for each Share subject to a vested Option, immediately upon the date of such dividend payment; and (b) for each Share subject to an unvested Option, on the date on which such Option becomes vested and exercisable with respect to such Share.

ARTICLE III

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

Section 3.1. Commencement of Exercisability

(a) So long as the Optionee continues to be employed by the Company or any other Service Recipients, the Options shall become exercisable pursuant to the following schedules:

(i) Time Options. Each of the Time Options shall become vested and exercisable with respect to 20% of the Shares subject to each such Option on each of the first five anniversaries of October 1, 2010 (the “Vesting Reference Date”); and

(ii) Performance Options. A portion of the Performance Options shall become eligible to vest and become exercisable in accordance with the vesting schedule and EBITDA Targets (each an “EBITDA Target”) set forth in Schedule A attached hereto.

(b) Notwithstanding any of Section 3.1(a) above, upon the earlier occurrence of a Measurement Date:

(i) the Time Options shall become immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to a Measurement Date (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated or become exercisable); and

(ii) the Performance Option shall (1) become immediately exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to a Measurement Date (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated or become exercisable) if as a result of the event constituting the Measurement Date, (x) the Sponsor IRR is achieved on 100% of the Sponsors’ aggregate investment, directly or indirectly, in the equity securities of the Company (the “Sponsor Shares”) or (y) the Sponsor Return is earned on 100% of the Sponsor Shares and (2) become vested as to the percentage of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to a Measurement Date (but only to the extent such Option has not otherwise terminated or become exercisable) that will result in, as a result of the Measurement Date, (x) the achievement of the Sponsor IRR on 100% of the Sponsor Shares or (y) the achievement of the Sponsor Return on 100% of the Sponsor Shares, in each case taking into account the vesting of such shares of Common Stock subject to Option that so vest.

(iii) In the event that the Sponsors receive marketable securities in an event that results in a Measurement Date occurring (including, in the case of a Liquidity Event following a Public Offering, shares of Common Stock), (1) the Sponsor IRR and Sponsor Return shall be initially calculated at the time of the Measurement Date without regard to the value of the marketable securities so received and such resulting Sponsor Return and Sponsor IRR shall be used to determine vesting of shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Options in accordance with Section 3.1(b)(ii) above; and (2) if the Sponsor Return and/or Sponsor IRR as calculated in (1) above do not result in 100% vesting of the outstanding exercisable shares of Common Stock subject to such Option immediately prior to the Measurement Date, the Sponsor Return and Sponsor IRR shall be recalculated upon each direct or indirect disposition of such marketable securities by the Sponsors for cash, discounting the cash received to determine its present value at the time of the Measurement Date. If such recalculated Sponsor IRR and/or Sponsor Return would have resulted in 100% vesting of all shares of Common Stock subject to Performance Options at the time of the Measurement Date, then all such Options shall immediately vest; provided, however, that if the Optionee’s Performance Options have been forfeited

or cancelled between the occurrence of the Measurement Date and the subsequent vesting of such Performance Options, in accordance with this Section 3.1(b)(iii), the Optionee shall be entitled to the difference between the price per Share paid in connection with the event resulting in the occurrence of the Measurement Date and the Exercise Price of the Performance Options that were so cancelled or forfeited.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall become exercisable as to any additional shares of Common Stock following the termination of employment of the Optionee for any reason and any Option, which is unexercisable as of the Optionee’s termination of employment, shall immediately expire without payment therefor; provided that following a termination of employment of the Optionee (x) by reason of the Optionee’s death or Disability, (y) as result of a termination by the Company without Cause or (z) as a result of a resignation by the Optionee with Good Reason, (i) the unvested Time Options that would have vested on the next anniversary of the Vesting Reference Date shall vest pro rata as determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Time Option that would have so vested on such next anniversary by a fraction, the numerator of which corresponds to the number of completed months of employment since the anniversary of the Vesting Reference Date immediately preceding the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment and the denominator of which is 12 (the “Time Pro Rata Fraction”) and (ii) the unvested Performance Options shall immediately expire without payment therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, the numerator of the Time Pro Rata Fraction shall in all cases be a whole number.

Section 3.2. Expiration of Option

Except as otherwise provided in Section 5 or 6 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement, the Optionee may not exercise the Options to any extent after the first to occur of the following events:

(a) The tenth anniversary of the Grant Date;

(b) The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment with the Company and all Service Recipients, if the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability (unless earlier terminated as provided in Section 3.2(h) below);

(c) Immediately upon the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment by the Company and all Service Recipients for Cause;

(d) Immediately upon the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment by the Optionee without Good Reason (except due to death or Disability);

(e) The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment by the Company and all Service Recipients without Cause (for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3.2 (b));

(f) The first anniversary of the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment by the Optionee for Good Reason;

(g) The date the Options are terminated pursuant to Section 5 or 6 of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement; or

(h) At the discretion of the Company, if the Committee so determines pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time periods set forth in this Section 3.2 shall not begin to run with respect to Performance Options that vest in accordance with Section 3.1(a)(ii) until the time at which the Board certifies the financial statements for the Company for the Fiscal Year immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which, or for the Fiscal Year in which, termination of employment occurs.

ARTICLE IV

EXERCISE OF OPTION

Section 4.1. Person Eligible to Exercise

During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee (or his or her duly authorized legal representative) may exercise an Option or any portion thereof. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of an Option may, prior to the time when an Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the Optionee’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

Section 4.2. Partial Exercise

Any exercisable portion of an Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2; provided, however, that any partial exercise shall be for whole shares of Common Stock only.

Section 4.3. Manner of Exercise

An Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivering to the Secretary or his office all of the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion becomes unexercisable under Section 3.2:

(a) Notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other person then entitled to exercise an Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

(b) (i) Full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) for the shares with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised or (ii) indication that the Optionee elects to have the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Optionee reduced by a number of Shares having an equivalent Fair Market Value to the payment that would otherwise be made by Optionee to the Company pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (b);

(c) Full payment (in cash or by check or by a combination thereof) to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation with respect to which such Option or portion thereof is exercised, unless the Committee permits the Optionee to elect to have the number of Shares that would otherwise be issued to the Optionee reduced by a number of Shares having an equivalent Fair Market Value to the payment that would otherwise be made by the Optionee to the Company in respect of such tax obligation, such permission not to be unreasonably withheld by the Committee;

(d) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in a form satisfactory to the Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof, stating that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired for his own account, for investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and then applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage, expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its reasonable discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems reasonably necessary to ensure the observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations; and

(e) In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the option.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares acquired on exercise of an Option does not violate the Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares. Share certificates evidencing stock issued on exercise of this Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the provisions of subsection (d) above and the agreements herein. The written representation and agreement referred to in subsection (d) above shall, however, not be required if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Act, and such registration is then effective in respect of such shares.

Section 4.4. Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates

The shares of stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares, which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock purchased (if certified, or if not certified, register the issuance of such shares on its books and records) upon the exercise of an Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

(a) The obtaining of approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its reasonable and good faith discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

(b) The execution by the Optionee of the Management Stockholder’s Agreement and a Sale Participation Agreement between the Optionee and New Omaha Holdings L.P. (the “Sale Participation Agreement”); and

(c) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience or as may otherwise be required by applicable law.

Section 4.5. Rights as Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 of this Agreement, the holder of an Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Options or any portion thereof unless and until certificates representing such shares shall have been issued by the Company to such holder or the Shares have otherwise been recorded in the records of the Company as owned by such holder.

ARTICLE V

Exhibit C

Schedule A

Performance Targets

The below vesting schedule is based on the Company’s achievement of the corresponding EBITDA Target in any Fiscal Year commencing January 1, 2010 and ending on or before December 31, 2013.


EBITDA Target		Vesting
$	2.8B	25	%
$	3.1B	75	%
$	3.4B	100	%

“EBITDA” shall mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (excluding any transaction, management and/or similar fees paid to the Sponsor and/or its Affiliates, and earnings from the IPS business), as previously provided by the Sponsor to the officers of the Company. The Board shall, fairly and appropriately, adjust the calculation of EBITDA to reflect, to the extent not contemplated in the Sponsor projections, the following: acquisitions, divestitures, non-recurring costs required to achieve cost saving initiatives, non-cash compensation expense and any change required by GAAP relating to share-based compensation or for other changes in GAAP promulgated by accounting standard setters that, in each case, the Board in good faith determines require adjustment of EBITDA. The Board’s determination of such adjustment shall be based on the Company’s accounting as set forth in its books and records and on the financial plan of the Company pursuant to which the Annual Performance Targets were originally established.

If the Company makes an acquisition in any year, the EBITDA Target will be adjusted, fairly and appropriately, by the amount of EBITDA in the plan for the target presented to the Board at the time the acquisition is approved by the Board. The EBITDA Target will also be fairly and appropriately adjusted by the Board, in consultation with management, to the extent not contemplated in the plan for the following: any divestitures, major capital investment programs, any change required by GAAP relating to share-based compensation or other changes in GAAP promulgated by accounting standard setters. In the event that any of the foregoing action is taken, such adjustment shall be only the amount deemed reasonably necessary by the Board, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, after consultation of the Company’s accountants, to accurately reflect the direct and measurable effect such event has on such EBITDA Target. The intent of such adjustments is to keep the probability of achieving the EBITDA Target the same as if the event triggering such adjustment had not occurred. The Board’s determination of such necessary adjustment shall be made within 60 days following the completion or closing of such event, and shall be based on the Company’s accounting as set forth in its books and records and on the Company’s financial plan pursuant to which the EBITDA Target was originally established.

Exhibit D

SALE PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

October __, 2010

To: The Person whose name is set forth on the signature page hereof

Dear Sir or Madam:

You have entered into a Management Stockholder’s Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among First Data Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), New Omaha Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the parent entity of the Company (“Parent”), and you (the “Stockholder’s Agreement”) relating to the purchase by you of Purchased Stock (as defined in the Stockholder’s Agreement) and the grant by the Company to you of options (together with any other options granted to you after the date hereof, “Options”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”, which includes Purchased Stock and any other stock of the Company otherwise acquired or held by you as or after the date hereof, whether pursuant to the exercise of Options or otherwise). Capitalized terms used by not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Stockholder’s Agreement. Parent hereby agrees with you as follows, effective as of the date hereof:

1. (a) In the event that at any time on or after the date hereof, (i) Parent, (ii) any of the Investors (as defined in the Stockholder’s Agreement) or (iii) any of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Selling Entities”) proposes to sell, directly or indirectly, for cash or any other consideration any shares of Common Stock owned by any such Selling Entity, in any transaction other than (x) a Public Offering or (y) a sale, directly or indirectly, to an Affiliate of Parent or an Investor, then, unless Parent is entitled to and does exercise the drag-along rights pursuant to Paragraph 7 below and the Drag Transaction is consummated, Parent will notify you or your Management Stockholder’s Estate or Management Stockholder’s Trust (as such terms are defined in the Stockholder’s Agreement, and collectively with you, the “Management Stockholder Entities”), as the case may be, in writing (a “Notice”) of such proposed sale (a “Proposed Sale”) specifying the principal terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale (the “Material Terms”) including (A) the amount of Common Stock to be included in the Proposed Sale, (B) the percentage of the outstanding Common Stock at the time the Notice is given that is represented by the number of shares to be included in the Proposed Sale, (C) the price per share of Common Stock subject to the Proposed Sale, including a description of any pricing formulae and of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit valuation thereof, (D) the Tag Along Sale Percentage of Parent, and (E) the name and address of the Person to whom the offered Common Stock is proposed to be issued.

(b) If, within 10 business days after the delivery of Notice under Section 1(a), Parent receives from a Management Stockholder Entity a written request (a “Request”) to include Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entity in the Proposed Sale (which Request shall be irrevocable except (a) as set forth in clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 1 below or (b) if otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder Entity and Parent), the Common Stock held by you plus all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then

exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale (not in any event to exceed the Tag Along Sale Percentage multiplied by the total number of shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities in the aggregate, including all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale) will be so included as provided herein. Promptly after the execution of the Sale Agreement, Parent will furnish each Management Stockholder Entity with a copy of the Sale Agreement, if any. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Tag Along Sale Percentage” shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased from the Selling Entity by the total number of shares of Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by the Selling Entities.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any of the economic terms of the Proposed Sale change adversely, including without limitation if the per share price will be less than the per share price disclosed in the Notice, or any of the other principal terms or conditions will be materially less favorable to the selling Management Stockholder Entities than those described in the Notice, Parent will provide written notice thereof to each Management Stockholder Entity who has made a Request and each such Management Stockholder Entity will then be given an opportunity to withdraw the offer contained in such holder’s Request (by providing prompt (and in any event within five (5) business days; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proposed closing with respect to the Proposed Sale is to occur within five (5) business days or less, no later than three (3) business days prior to such closing) written notice of such withdrawal to Parent), whereupon such withdrawing Management Stockholder Entity will be released from all obligations thereunder.

(d) If the Selling Entity does not complete the Proposed Sale by the end of the 120th day following the date of the effectiveness of the Notice, each selling Management Stockholder Entity may elect to be released from all obligations under the applicable Request by notifying Parent in writing of its desire to so withdraw. Upon receipt of that withdrawal notice, the Notice of the relevant Management Stockholder Entity shall be null and void, and it will then be necessary for a separate Notice to be furnished, and the terms and provisions of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1 separately complied with, in order to consummate such Proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 1, unless the failure to complete such proposed sale resulted from any failure by any selling Management Stockholder Entity to comply with the terms of this Section 1.

2. (a) The number of shares of Common Stock that you will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to a Request will be the lesser of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that you have offered to sell in the Proposed Sale as set forth in the Request and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the Proposed Sale by (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock owned by you plus all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale and the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Management Stockholder Entities and all other Persons participating in such sale as tag-along sellers pursuant to Other Management Stockholder Agreements (as defined in the

Stockholder’s Agreement) or other agreements (all such participants, the “Tag Along Sellers”) plus all shares of Common Stock which you and such Persons are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of Options, to the extent such Options are then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, plus all shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Entities. Each Tag Along Seller shall be permitted to conditionally exercise Options such that if the Proposed Sale in not consummated, such exercise shall be void and such Options shall remain exercisable on the same terms and conditions as prior to such conditional exercise.

(b) If one or more Tag Along Sellers elect not to include the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have been permitted to include in a Proposed Sale pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) (such non-included shares, the “Eligible Shares”), then each of the Selling Entities, or the remaining Tag Along Sellers, or any of them, will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale a number of additional shares of their Common Stock equal to their pro rata portion of the number of Eligible Shares, based on the relative number of shares of Common Stock then held by each such holder plus all shares of Common Stock which you are then entitled to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Option, to the extent such Option is then exercisable or would become exercisable as a result of the consummation of the Proposed Sale, and such additional shares of Common Stock which any such holder or holders propose to sell shall not be included in any calculation made pursuant to Paragraph 2(a) for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Common Stock which the Management Stockholder Entities will be permitted to include in a Proposed Sale. The Selling Entities will have the right to sell in the Proposed Sale additional shares of Common Stock owned by it equal to the number, if any, of remaining Eligible Shares which will not be included in the Proposed Sale pursuant to the foregoing.

3. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, shares of Common Stock subject to a Request will be included in a Proposed Sale pursuant hereto and in any agreements with purchasers relating thereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock which the Selling Entity proposes to sell in the Proposed Sale. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation: the sale price; the payment of fees, commissions and expenses; the provision of, and customary representations and warranties as to, information reasonably requested by Parent covering matters regarding the Management Stockholder Entities’ ownership of shares; and the provision of requisite indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by the Management Stockholder Entities shall be pro rata in proportion with the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold; provided, further, that no Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to indemnify any Person for an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the gross proceeds received in such Proposed Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the consideration payable for shares of Common Stock is securities and the acquisition of such securities by a Management Stockholder Entity would reasonably be expected to be prohibited under U.S., foreign or state securities laws, such Management Stockholder Entity shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of any such securities such Person would otherwise be entitled to receive.

4. Upon delivering a Request, the Management Stockholder Entities will, if requested by Parent, execute and deliver a custody agreement and power of attorney in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent with respect to the shares of Common Stock which are to be

sold by the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant hereto (a “Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney”). The Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney will contain customary provisions and will provide, among other things, that the Management Stockholder Entities will deliver to and deposit in custody with the custodian and attorney-in-fact named therein a certificate or certificates (if such shares are certificated) representing such shares of Common Stock (duly endorsed in blank by the registered owner or owners thereof) and irrevocably appoint said custodian and attorney-in-fact as the Management Stockholder Entities’ agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney on the Management Stockholder Entities’ behalf with respect to the matters specified therein.

5. Your right pursuant hereto to participate in a Proposed Sale shall be contingent on your material compliance with each of the provisions hereof and your willingness to execute such documents, on the same material terms and conditions, as are executed by Parent in connection therewith.

6. If the consideration to be paid in exchange for shares of Common Stock in a Proposed Sale pursuant to Section 1 includes any securities, and the receipt thereof by Parent and a Management Shareholder Entity would require under applicable law (a) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any Person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (b) the provision to any selling Management Shareholder Entity of any information regarding the Company, its subsidiaries, such securities or the issuer thereof that would not be required to be delivered in an offering solely to a limited number of “accredited investors” under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations in effect thereunder, Parent and such Management Shareholder Entity shall not, subject to the following sentence, have the right to sell shares of Common Stock in such proposed sale. In such event, Parent shall have the right to cause to be paid to such selling Management Shareholder Entity in lieu thereof, against surrender of the shares of Common Stock which would have otherwise been sold by such selling Management Shareholder Entity to the prospective buyer in the proposed sale, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stockholder’s Agreement) of such shares of Common Stock as of the date such securities would have been issued in exchange for such shares of Common Stock.

7. (a) If the Selling Entities propose to transfer, directly or indirectly, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock (the Person to whom shares are proposed to be transferred, the “Drag-Along Purchaser”), then if requested by Parent, the Management Stockholder Entities shall be required to sell a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities (including shares of Common Stock underlying exercisable Options) multiplied by the Tag Along Sale Percentage (such transaction, a “Drag Transaction”).

(b) Shares of Common Stock held by the Management Stockholder Entities included in a Drag Transaction will be included in any agreements with the Drag-Along Purchaser relating thereto on the same terms and subject to the same conditions applicable to the shares of Common Stock which the Selling Entities propose to sell in the Drag Transaction. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation: the pro rata reduction of the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Selling Entities and the Management Stockholder Entities to be included in the Drag Transaction if required by the Drag-Along Purchaser; the sale price; the

payment of fees, commissions and expenses; the provision of, and representation and warranty as to, information reasonably requested by Parent covering matters regarding the Management Stockholder Entities’ ownership of shares; and the provision of requisite indemnification; provided that any indemnification provided by the Management Stockholder Entities shall be pro rata in proportion with the number of shares of Common Stock to be sold; provided, further, that no Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to (x) indemnify any Person for an amount, in the aggregate, in excess of the gross proceeds received in such Proposed Sale or (y) agree to any non-compete or non-solicit provisions that are more restrictive than such similar agreement between the Company and such Management Stockholder Entity.

(c) Your pro rata share of any amount to be paid pursuant to Paragraph 3 or 7(b) shall be based upon the number of shares of Common Stock intended to be transferred by the Management Stockholder Entities plus the number of shares of Common Stock you would have the right to acquire under any unexercised portion of the Option which is then vested or would become vested as a result of the Proposed Sale or Drag Transaction, assuming that you receive a payment in respect of such Option.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if the consideration payable for shares of Common Stock is securities and the acquisition of such securities by a Management Stockholder Entity would reasonably be expected to be prohibited under U.S., foreign or state securities laws, such Management Stockholder Entity shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of any such securities such Person would otherwise be entitled to receive.

8. The obligations of Parent hereunder shall extend only to you and your transferees (“Permitted Transferees”) who (a) are Other Management Stockholders, (b) are party to a Management Stockholder’s Agreement with the Company and (c) have acquired Common Stock pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, and none of the Management Stockholder Entities’ successors or assigns, with the exception of any Permitted Transferee and only with respect to the Common Stock acquired by such Permitted Transferee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, shall have any rights pursuant hereto.

9. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement and the Stockholder’s Agreement, sales and purchases of interests in Parent held by the Investors or their Affiliates shall be treated as a sale and purchase of the underlying shares of Common Stock represented by the interests so sold or purchased, and the parties hereto shall be treated in the same manner had such shares been held directly by the Investors or their Affiliates.

10. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the occurrence of the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering in which the Investors dispose of substantially all of their interests in the Company.

11. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid or (d) one (I) business day

after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

12. The laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the interpretation, validity and performance of the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any controversy among the parties hereto arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement which cannot be settled amicably by the parties, such controversy shall be finally, exclusively and conclusively settled by mandatory arbitration conducted expeditiously in accordance with the American Arbitration Association rules, by a single independent arbitrator. Such arbitration process shall take place in New York,

New York. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon all parties hereto and shall be rendered pursuant to a written decision, which contains a detailed recital of the arbitrator’s reasoning. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator; provided that if the Management Stockholder substantially prevails on any of his or her substantive legal claims, then the Investors shall reimburse all legal fees and arbitration fees incurred by the Management Stockholder to arbitrate the dispute: Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right that it may have had to bring an action in any court, domestic or foreign, or before any similar domestic or foreign authority with respect to this Agreement.

13. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

14. It is the understanding of the undersigned that you are aware that no Proposed Sale is contemplated and that such a sale may never occur.

15. This Agreement may be amended by Parent at any time upon the written consent of the majority of the Management Stockholders on the Executive Committee of the Company (which shall be comprised of the Chief Executive Officer and his direct reports), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that any amendment (i) that materially disadvantages the Management Stockholder shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has consented thereto in writing and (ii) that disadvantages a class of stockholders in more than a de minimis way but less than a material way shall require the consent of a majority of the equity interests held by such affected class of stockholders.
