PURPOSE AND HISTORY OF THE PLAN

The Western Union Company Supplemental Incentive Savings Plan (the “Plan”) was established effective as of September 29, 2006, the date that The Western Union Company (the “Company”) was spun off from First Data Corporation (the “Spin-Off Date”). As further described herein, certain liabilities under the First Data SISP were transferred to the Plan as of that time.  The Plan is hereby amended and restated effective as of April 1, 2018. 

1.2        Accounts Transferred From the First Data SISP.  The following accrued liabilities were transferred from the First Data SISP to the Plan as of the Spin-Off Date:

(a)        liability equal to the bookkeeping accounts for deferrals contributed after December 31, 2004, plus related earnings, by Participants who are Business Employees.

(b)        liability equal to the bookkeeping accounts for employer matching contributions, Service-Related Contributions, and ISP Plus Contributions to the extent non‑vested as of December 31, 2004, and for employer matching contributions, Service-Related Contributions, and ISP Plus Contributions credited after December 31, 2004, plus related earnings, by Participants who are Business Employees.

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

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

compensation. The Plan is an unfunded plan that is intended to comply with the requirements of Code § 409A.  The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

ARTICLE III

PARTICIPANT DEFERRALS AND COMPANY CONTRIBUTIONS

3.1        Eligibility.  The Company shall identify those Employees who are eligible to defer amounts under the Plan.  Eligibility to be a Participant in the Plan and to defer amounts under the Plan is entirely at the discretion of the Company and shall be limited to a select group of senior management or highly compensated employees.  Eligibility to defer amounts under the Plan for any calendar year shall not confer the right to defer amounts for any subsequent year.

3.2        Deferrals. A Participant may elect to defer up to 80% of the Participant’s Salary and Bonus and up to 100% of a Performance Grant, subject to such additional guidelines and limitations adopted by the Committee, by entering into a Deferred Compensation Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3.  The Salary and Bonus otherwise payable to a Participant for each Plan Year beginning after the date of the election and any Performance Grant specified in a Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be reduced by the amount elected to be deferred, and the Participant’s Deferral Account shall be credited for the amount deferred.  Participants shall make separate elections with respect to deferrals of Salary, Bonus and Performance Grants.  Deferrals from Salary shall be withheld in substantially equal amounts from Salary payable for the Plan Year to which the Deferred Compensation Agreement relates. Deferrals from Bonus shall be withheld from the Bonus otherwise payable for the Plan Year to which the Deferred Compensation Agreement relates, and deferrals from a Performance Grant shall be withheld from the Performance Grant specified in the Deferred Compensation Agreement.  Elections to defer Salary, Bonus and Performance Grants are irrevocable, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.  With respect to Business Employees who continue to be eligible to defer amounts under the Plan, Deferred Compensation Agreements entered into before the Spin-Off Date shall be continued as if the Deferred Compensation Agreements had been made under this Plan and will be continued as provided in Section 3.3.

3.3        Elections to Defer.

(a)        Newly Eligible Employees.  An eligible Employee who has not previously been eligible to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) and who wishes to participate in the Plan must execute a Deferred Compensation Agreement within 30 days after he or she first becomes eligible to participate in the

Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A). The Deferred Compensation Agreement shall be irrevocable with respect to the current Plan Year, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, and shall be effective only with respect to compensation payable for services performed subsequent to the execution of the Deferred Compensation Agreement.  The Employee may change his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement election with respect to services to be performed in any subsequent Plan Year under the provisions in Section 3.3(c).

In the Employee’s first year of participation, if the Bonus or Performance Grant for which the election is made is an annual bonus or is otherwise based on a specified performance period, then the Employee’s Deferred Compensation Agreement election with respect to the Bonus or Performance Grant will apply only to the portion of the Bonus or Performance Grant equal to the total amount of the Bonus or Performance Grant multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance period after the date of the Deferred Compensation Agreement over the total number of days in the performance period.

(b)        Former Participants with No Account Balance and Employees Ineligible for Two Years.  If a former Participant has been paid all amounts deferred under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) and on or before the date of the last payment was not eligible to continue to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) for periods after the last payment (other than through an election of a different time and form of payment with respect to amounts paid), the Employee may be treated as newly eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to Section 3.3(a) as of the first date following such payment that the Employee again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.  If an Employee has ceased to be eligible to defer amounts under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) (other than the accrual of earnings), regardless of whether all amounts deferred under the Plan (and all other plans required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) have been paid, and subsequently becomes eligible to participate in the Plan again, the Employee may be treated as newly eligible to participate pursuant to Section 3.3(a) if the Employee has not been eligible to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) (other than the accrual of earnings) at any time during the 24-month period ending on the date that the Employee again becomes eligible to participate in the Plan.

(c)        Previously Eligible Employees.  An eligible Employee who has previously been eligible to participate in the Plan (or any other plan required to be aggregated with the Plan pursuant to Code § 409A) but is not treated as newly eligible to participate in the Plan under Section 3.3(b) and who

wishes to change his or her deferral election or make an initial deferral election must enter into a Deferred Compensation Agreement with respect to compensation paid for services performed during a Plan Year at any time prior to the beginning of that Plan Year. The new Deferred Compensation Agreement election shall be effective for such Plan Year and all subsequent Plan Years, except that the Employee may change his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement deferral election at any time through the December 31 prior to the beginning of a Plan Year.  After the December 31 prior to the beginning of the Plan Year, the Deferred Compensation Agreement deferral election shall become irrevocable with respect to that Plan Year, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, establish earlier deadlines or annual enrollment periods for such election changes during which such elections must be made. 

(d)        Elections to Defer Performance Grants.  Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 3.3, an eligible Employee may elect to defer a Performance Grant at any time on or before the date that is six months before the end of the applicable performance period, provided (i) the Employee has performed services for the Company or an Affiliate continuously from the later of the beginning of the performance period or the date the Performance Measures are established for the Performance Grant in writing (which shall be no later than 90 days after the commencement of the performance period) through the date of this election and (ii) the amount payable in respect of the Performance Grant is not calculable and substantially certain to be paid as of the time of this election.

(e)        Cancellation of Deferral Election for 401(k) Plan Hardship Distribution.  Notwithstanding a Participant’s deferral election in his or her Deferred Compensation Agreement, a Participant’s deferral election shall be cancelled if required under the 401(k) plan sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate which is the Participant’s Employer due to the Participant’s receipt of a hardship distribution from such 401(k) plan, pursuant to the requirements of Code § 1.401(k)‑1(d)(3).  After the cancellation required under the 401(k) plan has expired, the Participant may execute a new Deferred Compensation Agreement, in accordance with the timing requirements for previously eligible employees under Section 3.3(c).

3.4        Company Matching Contributions. For any Plan Year in which a Participant is deferring amounts under the Plan, the Participant’s Western Union Matching Account shall be credited with an amount each pay period, calculated as follows:

(a)        dollar for dollar on the sum of the Participant’s contributions to the ISP (other than catch-up contributions) and the Participant’s contributions of Salary and Bonus to the Plan, up to the first 3% of the sum of (i) the Participant’s Compensation (as defined in the ISP without regard to the

Code § 401(a)(17) limitation) for the pay period, plus (ii) Salary and Bonus amounts deferred under the Plan for the pay period, and $.50 for each dollar on the sum of the Participant’s contributions to the ISP (other than catch-up contributions) and the Participant’s Salary and Bonus contributions to the Plan, up to the next 2% of the sum of (i) the Participant’s Compensation (as defined in the ISP without regard to the Code § 401(a)(17) limitation) for the pay period, plus (ii) Salary and Bonus amounts deferred under the Plan for the pay period,

(b)        minus the amount of employer matching contributions contributed to the Participant’s ISP accounts for the pay period;

provided, however, that the amounts credited to the Participant’s Western Union Matching Account for any year pursuant to the foregoing shall not exceed the total employer matching contributions that would be provided under the ISP absent any plan-based restrictions that reflect limits on qualified plan contributions under the Code.

To the extent the Participant receives additional employer matching contributions under the ISP when employer matching contributions are recalculated on an annual basis under the ISP, the Participant’s Western Union Matching Account under the Plan may be reduced by the amount of the additional employer matching contributions contributed to the ISP for the Plan Year.

3.5        Company Discretionary Contributions.  For any Plan Year, the Company may, in its discretion, credit a Participant’s Account in an amount determined in the sole discretion of the Committee at any time and without regard to any amount credited to the Account of any other Participant.  Company discretionary contributions credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall vest in accordance with the schedule applicable to the Participant’s Western Union Matching Account, as set forth in Section 5.2.

ARTICLE IV

DEEMED INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS

4.1        Selection of Investment Funds.  Except as may otherwise be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, the Investment Funds available under the Plan shall be the same investment options available to participants under the Incentive Savings Plan, excluding any brokerage account option or any employer stock fund.  The availability of an Investment Fund shall not give, or be deemed for any purpose to give, a Participant an interest in any asset or investment held by the Company for any purpose.

4.2        Participant Identification of Investment Funds.  Participants shall select one or more Investment Funds with respect to which imputed gains or losses shall be calculated and attributed (credited or debited) to the Participant’s Account.  Participants who are active Employees may change the Investment Funds with respect to which gains or losses on their future deferrals are calculated on any business day, with any change

effective as soon as administratively practicable.  All Participants may, upon notice to the Plan’s recordkeeper, change the Investment Funds with respect to which gains or losses on their Account balance will be calculated on any business day.  Changes received by the Plan’s recordkeeper prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange will be effective as of that day.  Changes received by the recordkeeper after such time on any day will be effective as of the end of the next trading day on the New York Stock Exchange.  If a Participant does not choose any Investment Fund, the gains or losses on the amounts credited to the Participant’s Account shall be calculated by reference to the Target Retirement fund based on the Participant’s age as of the default investment election date.

4.3        Daily Valuation.  The Committee shall maintain a record of each Participant’s Account.  Each Participant’s Account shall be adjusted on a daily basis to reflect the deemed gains or losses of the Investment Funds selected by the Participant.

(d)        Small Account Balance.  Notwithstanding a Participant’s Distribution Election(s), if immediately following a Participant’s Separation from Service, the Participant’s Account balance under the Plan (and all plans required to be aggregated with the Plan under Code § 409A) is less than or equal to the applicable dollar amount under Code § 402(g)(1)(B), the recipient shall receive a lump sum payment of the Participant’s Account balance as soon as administratively feasible following (i) the day following the  6th month anniversary of the Participant’s Separation from Service if the Participant has been identified as a Specified Employee as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service,  or (ii) the first day of the calendar month following the date of the Participant’s Separation of Service if the Participant has not been identified as a Specified Employee as of the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, provided the payment results in the termination and liquidation of the entirety of the Participant’s interest in the Plan (and all plans required to be aggregated with the Plan under Code § 409A).

(e)        Election Changes Permitted On or Before December 31, 2008 Pursuant to Internal Revenue Service Transition Relief.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, a Participant may be permitted to make a new Distribution Election on or before December 31, 2008 with respect to the time and/or form of payment of (a) unvested amounts transferred to this Plan from the First Data SISP that were credited to the Participant’s Account prior to January 1, 2005, (b) amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts for the 2005 Plan Year and the 2006 Plan Year, (c) amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts for the 2007 Plan Year, and (d) amounts credited to the Participant’s Accounts for the 2008 Plan Year.  However, any such new Distribution Elections will apply only to amounts that would not otherwise be payable in 2008 and may not cause an amount to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be payable in 2008.  In addition, any such new Distribution Election that specifies a distribution commencement date prior to June 1, 2009 will be deemed to be an election to commence distribution on June 1, 2009.

6.4        Changing Distribution Elections.  A Participant may change his or her Distribution Election as to timing and/or form of payment if:

(a)        the change does not accelerate any payments within the meaning of Code § 409A;

(b)        the Participant executes a new Distribution Election at least 12 months prior to the earliest date payment would have commenced under the prior Distribution Election;

(c)        any payments under the new Distribution Election will not commence earlier than 5 years from the date the payments would have otherwise commenced under the prior Distribution Election; and

(d)        the new Distribution Election will not take effect until 12 months after the date it was executed by the Participant.

For purposes of this Section 6.4, payments made in the form of installments shall be treated as a single payment.

6.5        Designation of Beneficiary. A Participant may designate one or more Designated Beneficiaries (who may be designated contingently or successively) by filing a written notice of designation with the Committee in such form as the Committee may prescribe. Each designation will automatically revoke any prior designations by the same Participant.  Any beneficiary designation will be effective as of the date on which the written designation is received by the Committee during the lifetime of the Participant.

6.6        Severe Financial Hardship. In the event of a Severe Financial Hardship of a Participant, the Participant may request distribution of some or all of the Participant’s Account or the cancellation of the Participant’s election to defer Salary or Bonus for the remainder of the Plan Year.  The Committee shall require such evidence as is reasonably necessary to determine if a distribution is warranted and satisfies the requirements of a Severe Financial Hardship pursuant to Code § 409A.  The Committee shall determine the amount available to the Participant, if any, in its sole discretion based on the relevant facts and circumstances and in accordance with Code § 409A.  If the Committee grants a Participant’s request to cancel an election to defer Salary or Bonus, the Participant may again make an election to defer Salary or Bonus only in accordance with Article III.

6.7        Payments on Account of Failure to Comply with Code § 409A.  If any portion of the Participant’s Account that has not yet been distributed must be included in the Participant’s taxable income for a calendar year pursuant to Code § 409A, the Committee shall distribute the portion of the Account that has been included in the Participant’s taxable income as soon as administratively practicable.

ARTICLE VII

DEFERRED COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS TRUST

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

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company will not transfer any cash, securities, or other property to the DCB Trust at a time when such a transfer would cause adverse tax consequences under Code § 409A.

ARTICLE VIII

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

8.1        Amendment and Termination.  The Company may, at its sole discretion, amend or terminate the Plan at any time provided that the amendment or termination shall not adversely affect the vested or accrued rights or benefits of any Participant without the Participant’s prior consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may amend the Plan at any time, without the consent of any Participant, as necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements, or avoid the application, of Code § 409A.  Any termination of the Plan will be made in compliance with the requirements of Code § 409A and the regulations thereunder.

8.2        Further Actions to Conform to Code § 409A.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, the Plan will be construed, administered or deemed amended as necessary to comply with the requirements of Code § 409A to avoid taxation under Code § 409A(a)(1) to the extent subject to Code § 409A.  The Committee, in its sole discretion shall determine the requirements of Code § 409A applicable to the Plan and shall interpret the terms of the Plan consistently therewith.  Under no circumstances, however, shall the Company or any affiliate or any of its or their employees, officers, directors, service providers or agents have any liability to any person for any taxes, penalties or interest due on amounts paid or payable under the Plan, including any taxes, penalties or interest imposed under Code § 409A.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATION AND INTERPRETATION

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

ARTICLE XI

CLAIMS PROCEDURE

Claims for benefits under the Plan shall be filed in writing, within 180 days after the event giving rise to a claim, with the Company’s Senior Vice President, Compensation

and Benefits (the “Plan Administrator”), who shall have absolute discretion to determine whether benefits are payable under the Plan, interpret and apply the Plan, evaluate the facts and circumstances, and make a determination with respect to the claim in the name and on behalf of the Committee.  The claim shall include a statement of all relevant facts and copies of all documents, materials, or other evidence that the claimant believes relevant to the claim.

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

If the adverse decision relates to a claim involving the Disability of a Participant, the Plan Administrator shall furnish a notice to the claimant whose claim for benefits has been denied within 45 days from receipt of the claim.  This 45-day period may be extended for an additional 30-day period if special circumstances require an extension, and the additional 30-day period may be further extended for up to 30 more days if special circumstances require a further extension.  If any extension of the time period for notifying a claimant is required, the Plan Administrator shall provide a written notice of the extension to the claimant containing the expiration date of the then-applicable claim period, the special circumstances that require an extension, and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render the benefits determination.

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

If the Plan Administrator’s claim denial relates to a claim involving Disability of a Participant, the notice will be provided in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner and will contain:

A claimant who wishes to appeal the adverse determination must submit a request for review in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days (180 days in the event of a claim involving a Disability) after the appealing claimant receives notice of the denial of benefits.

ARTICLE XII

CLAIMS REVIEW PROCEDURE 

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

The Committee shall reexamine all facts related to the appeal and make a final determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under the circumstances.  In the case of a claim involving a Disability, before a final adverse benefit determination is made on review, the Plan Administrator will provide the claimant, free of charge, with any new or additional evidence or rationale considered, relied upon, or generated by the Plan in connection with the claim as soon as possible and sufficiently in advance of the final notice to give the claimant a reasonable opportunity to respond prior to that date.

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

A document, record, or other information shall be considered relevant to the claim if such document, record, or other information (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination, (ii) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other information was relied upon in making the benefit determination, or (iii) demonstrates compliance with the administrative processes and safeguards designed to ensure and verify that benefit claim determinations are made in accordance with the Plan and that, where appropriate, the Plan provisions have been applied consistently with respect to similarly situated claimants.

ARTICLE XIII

LAWSUITS, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE
