Stock Options

You will be eligible for consideration for a new hire equity grant of an option to purchase shares of common stock of The Western Union Company as well as a grant of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). You will be recommended for the following.

The values of these awards do not change. However, based on share price at the time of the grants, the number of shares and options may vary. Pending approval of the Compensation Committee, the equity grant strike price will be based on your hire date. If not approved, the equity grant date will be the fifth (5^th) market day following the company’s next quarterly earnings release.

In addition, you will be eligible for an award of stock options and restricted stock of Western Union valued at two times your annual base pay beginning in 2009 (“Annual Target Stock Option and Restricted Stock Award”). These grants require the approval of the Compensation and Benefits Committee of The Western Union Company Board of Directors or its delegate (the “Committee”) and the execution by you of an agreement containing certain restrictive covenants such as non-solicitation, non-competition and non-disclosure commitments. You will be recommended for a grant of stock options and a grant of restricted stock in accordance with Western Union’s current equity guidelines subject to the approval of the recommendation. All your rights and obligations with respect to any options and restricted stock granted to you are subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP as well as the terms and conditions of the stock option and restricted stock agreements. If you do not receive materials reflecting your grants within three months of your start date, please let me know immediately.
