Item 1. Business.

General.

    Ceridian Corporation was founded in 1957 and is incorporated in Delaware. Our principal executive office is located at 8100 34th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425, and our telephone number is (952) 853-8100.

    We operate exclusively in the information services industry. We provide products and services to customers in the human resources, transportation and media information markets through our Human Resource Services businesses, Comdata subsidiary and Arbitron division. These businesses collect, manage and analyze data and process transactions on behalf of our customers, report information resulting from such activities to our customers, and provide our customers with related software applications and services. The technology-based products and services of these businesses are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue.

    In March 1999, our Comdata subsidiary acquired a majority interest in Stored Value Systems, Inc., a former subsidiary of National City Corporation. SVS provides a private-label electronic retail cash card to retailers. We have the option of purchasing the remainder of SVS at a later date.

    In June 1999, we acquired ABR Information Services, Inc. through a cash tender offer and subsequent clean up cash merger that was completed in July 1999. After the merger, we began to refer to ABR and its subsidiaries as Ceridian Benefits Services. Ceridian Benefits Services is a leading provider of comprehensive benefits administration and human resources services to employers seeking to outsource these functions.

    We refer you to Part II, Item 7 and Item 7A of this report for additional description of our business.

Human Resource Services (HRS).

    The businesses comprising HRS offer a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage their work forces and information that is integral to human resource processes. HRS' human resource management products and services are provided in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom through our Ceridian Employer Services, Ceridian Benefits Services, Ceridian Performance Partners, Centrefile and Usertech businesses. HRS' revenue for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

1999

  1998
  1997
$828.0 million   $700.3 million   $578.6 million

Payroll processing and tax filing services accounted for about 77% of HRS' 1999 revenue, with about 77% of 1999 payroll processing and tax filing revenue derived from the United States.


    Markets.  The market for human resource services covers a comprehensive range of information management and employer/employee assistance services and software. These products and services include:

    Transaction-oriented administrative services and software products, primarily in areas such as payroll processing, tax filing and benefits administration
    Management support software and services in areas such as human resource administration, regulatory compliance, employee training, work-life effectiveness and employee assistance programs

    The market for these products and services is expected to continue to grow as organizations seek not only to reduce costs and improve productivity by outsourcing administrative services and further automating internal processes, but also to adapt to the increasing scope and complexity of laws and regulations governing businesses and increasingly complicated work-life issues faced by employers and employees.

    We generally classify employers in the human resource services market into three categories:

    Small (fewer than 200 employees)
    Medium (200 to 10,000 employees)
    Large (over 10,000 employees)

Small employers in the human resource services market tend to be relatively more price sensitive, to require less customization or flexibility in product and service offerings and to switch more readily from one provider to another. Medium- and large-sized employers' human resource management needs tend to be more complex, and therefore often require more customization and flexibility in products and services, greater integration among data processing systems and a greater variety of products and services. We believe, however, that with regard to any size employer, a provider of a transaction-based service, such as payroll processing, or employee assistance and work-life services, such as elder care research and referral, is afforded attractive opportunities to complement that core service with additional products and services that are natural adjuncts to that core service and potentially important factors in revenue growth.

    Products and Services.  HRS' human resource management products and services include:

    Payroll processing and tax filing services
    Payroll and human resource information software
    Time and attendance solutions
    Recruiting and skills management software
    Integrated payroll and human resource administration services, including tax deposit services and integrated human resource solutions
    Benefits administration services
    Qualified plan administration services
    Work-life effectiveness and employee assistance programs
    Training

    Payroll Processing and Tax Filing Services.  Our payroll processing for customers in the United States consists primarily of preparing and furnishing employee payroll checks, direct deposit advices and supporting journals and summaries, but does not involve the handling or transmission of customer payroll funds other than with certain small employers. We also supply quarterly and annual social security, Medicare and federal, state and local income tax withholding reports required to be filed by employers and employees. Our payroll tax filing services for customers in the United States consist primarily of collecting funds for federal, state and local employment taxes from customers based on payroll information provided

2


by the customers, remitting funds collected to the appropriate taxing authorities, filing applicable returns and handling related regulatory correspondence and amendments. Our tax filing services are provided not only to employers who utilize our payroll processing service, but also to local and regional payroll processors. Payroll-related services are typically priced on a fee-per-item-processed basis.

    Our revenue from payroll tax filing services in the United States also includes investment income earned from tax filing deposits temporarily held pending remittance to taxing authorities on behalf of our customers. We hold our customer's deposits in a fiduciary capacity in a trust. The trust invests primarily in high quality collateralized short-term investments, money market funds, U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, AAA rated asset-backed securities and corporate securities rated A3/A- or better. The duration of investments is carefully managed to meet the liquidity needs of the trust. About 66% of 1999 tax filing revenue was attributable to such investment income. Due to the significance of this investment income, HRS' quarterly revenue and profitability fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates and in the amount of tax filing deposits held. We maintain interest rate collars to manage this interest rate risk on customer deposits. Because the volume of payroll items processed increases in the first and fourth quarters of each year in connection with employers' year-end reporting requirements, and because the amount of tax filing deposits also tends to be greatest in the first quarter, HRS' revenue and profitability tend to be greater in those quarters.

    Payroll and Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) Software.  In the United States, we have two primary offerings for payroll processing, our proprietary "Signature" software primarily for larger, more complex customers, and our Powerpay.com products for Internet payroll processing primarily for smaller customers.

        Signature and HRIS Software.  Payroll processing using our Signature software is conducted at 31 district offices located throughout the United States. This payroll system allows our customers to:

    Input their own payroll data via personal computers
    Transmit the data on-line to us for processing
    Retrieve reports and data files from us and print reports and, in certain instances, payroll checks or direct deposit advices on site

Customers can also input payroll data by telephone or batch transmittal, with payroll checks and related reports prepared by us at one of our district processing centers. This payroll processing system also interfaces with both customer and third-party transaction processing systems to facilitate services such as direct deposit of payroll.

    We provide human resource information systems (HRIS) software that runs in either Windows* or DOS environments and serves as a "front-end" to our Signature payroll processing system, allowing our customers to utilize a common database for both payroll and HRIS purposes. This enables the customer to create a single database of employee information for on-line inquiry, updating and reporting in payroll and other areas important to human resource administration and management, such as employee data tracking, government compliance, compensation analysis and benefits administration. We also provide HRIS software for Microsoft† operating environments that incorporates open, industry standard technology, is scalable from standalone applications to full client/server configurations and can be utilized with an existing interface as a front-end for our payroll processing and tax filing services. We have versions of this software that serve as a fully integrated front-end to the Signature payroll processing system.

    In 1998, we introduced our Source 500 product, a HRIS, payroll, benefits, recruiting and employee self-service solution. Because of the importance of being able to integrate our payroll processing and tax filing systems with other systems and applications utilized by our customers and potential customers,

3


particularly third-party HRIS applications, we have also developed interfaces to exchange employee-related information between our payroll system and the HRIS systems of major software vendors, such as Oracle Corporation, SAP and PeopleSoft Inc.

    We also provide advanced time and attendance software, including a client/server version which complements a wide variety of HRIS and payroll systems, and a series of inter-related software applications that allow employees and managers direct access to employment-related information through telephones, touch screen kiosks, personal computers and Internet/intranet technologies.

        Powerpay.com.  Powerpay.com (formerly Ceridian Small Business Solutions) provides Internet payroll processing, tax filing, unemployment compensation management and related services, primarily for small employers located in the United States. Powerpay.com's Powerpay™ product is a web-based solution that allows customers to complete payroll transactions via the Internet. Powerpay also provides small businesses with access to services such as new hire reporting, tax filing, direct deposit, optional benefits programs, unemployment filing and special reports services that were previously only available to larger companies.

    International Operations.  Approximately 18% of HRS' 1999 revenue was obtained from customers outside of the United States. Our Centrefile Limited subsidiary provides mainframe-based payroll processing services and HRIS software in the United Kingdom. Centrefile's services do not involve the handling or transmission of customer payroll funds.

    Our Canadian HRS operations handle payroll as well as tax filing funds for our Canadian customers. We collect payroll and payroll tax amounts from customers and remit tax amounts to applicable governmental authorities and make direct deposits of payroll amounts to employees' bank accounts. As a result, revenue from our payroll processing services in Canada includes investment income received from temporarily holding these amounts in trust. About 27% of the 1999 revenue of these Canadian businesses was attributable to such investment income. The Canadian trust invests in securities issued by the government and provinces of Canada, highly rated Canada banks and corporations, asset backed trusts and mortgages. We earn income from the trust and charge fees for services similar to those provided in the United States. We also manage interest rate risk in Canada through the use of interest rate collars.

    Benefit Administration and Qualified Plan Administration Services.  HRS includes our Ceridian Benefits Services' businesses that provide employee health and welfare benefits administration and qualified plan administration services to our customers. Employee health and welfare benefits administration services include portability (i.e., COBRA (the "Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act"), HIPAA (the "Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996") and state-mandated continuation coverage) compliance services and administration services for benefits provided to active employees, such as open enrollment, employee enrollment and eligibility and flexible spending account administration. Ceridian Benefits Services provides administration services for benefits provided to retired and inactive employees, including retiree healthcare, disability, surviving dependent, family leave and severance benefits. Ceridian Benefits Services provides its portability services through the trade name CobraServ®.

    Ceridian Benefits Services' qualified plan administration services include 401(k) plan administration, profit sharing administration, defined benefit plan administration and ESOP administration which are provided through Ceridian Retirement Plan Services, and Qualified Domestic Relations Order administration.

    Work-life Effectiveness and Employee Assistance Programs.  An additional emphasis of HRS is to provide a variety of employee assistance, work-life balance, management support and training products and services to clients of all sizes throughout the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Ceridian Performance Partners is a market leader in providing customers and their employees with a single source for fully integrated work-life effectiveness services and employee assistance programs. Services are delivered through on-line access and telephonic and face-to-face resources. Customers have the capability

4


of using the LifeWorks® ROI Calculator to help them evaluate the business impact the work-life effectiveness services and employee assistance programs have had on their organizations.

    The services and programs provided by Ceridian Performance Partners may be customized to meet an individual customer's particular needs. LifeWorks'® portfolio of products allows a customer to choose the mix, level and mode of access to services that best meet their needs. These products range from "high touch technology" capabilities allowing employees to access specific information on-line to comprehensive person-to-person consultation and referral services. Also included are specialized service options such as assistance with college enrollment and aid forms, on-site evaluation of care providers, review of legal documents and an extensive concierge service. These services address workplace effectiveness issues and seek to improve employee recruitment, retention and productivity, and seek to reduce absenteeism as well as increase the customers' recruitment success. Master degree level consultants provide confidential assistance 24 hours a day to customers' employees to help them address issues ranging from everyday matters to crisis situations. Supporting these consultants are research and subject matter experts who provide specialized expertise in areas, such as parenting/child care, elder care, disabilities, addiction disorders, mental health, health and wellness, financial, legal, managerial/supervisory and education/schooling issues. Ceridian Performance Partners has also entered into arrangements with certain service and product providers to provide additional leading edge services and expertise to its customers.

    Training.  Our Usertech business provides customized end-user training and support programs to organizations implementing new systems. Services provided by Usertech include classroom and computer-based training, print-based and on-line user guides and reference and marketing communications programs.

    Sales and Marketing.  Payroll processing, tax filing and human resource management software and services are marketed in the United States through our direct sales force operating through about three dozen offices located throughout the United States. We have established marketing relationships with banks, accounting firms and insurance companies pursuant to which these products and services are offered to the business clients of these entities. The most significant source of customer leads for these transaction-based products and services are referrals from these marketing relationships and existing customers, and other direct marketing efforts, such as telemarketing, direct mail and trade shows. The other HRS businesses, including operations in the United Kingdom and Canada, utilize their own direct sales forces. Customer leads for the products and services of these businesses are generally obtained through referrals, trade shows, product demonstration seminars, third party resellers and direct sales efforts.

    HRS' customer base covers a wide range of industries and markets, and no single customer represented more than 1% of HRS' 1999 revenue. HRS' products and services are provided under written license or service agreements, with contracts for repetitive services generally terminable upon relatively short notice.

    The HRS businesses utilize cooperative marketing relationships with other companies offering products or services that complement those of the HRS businesses as well as informal marketing alliances with human resource consulting firms. The HRS businesses are exploring similar cooperative arrangements with other software, insurance and human resource services providers. HRS is also seeking to further integrate and coordinate the sales and marketing efforts of its businesses and to sell a greater variety of its products and services to the customers of its various businesses.

    Competition.  The human resource services industry is highly competitive. Competition comes from national, regional and local third party transaction processors, as well as from software companies, consulting firms, enterprise wide providers of financial services and internally developed and operated systems and software.

    The majority of all payroll processing and tax filing in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom is supported in-house, with the remainder supported by third party providers. In the United

5


States, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. is the largest third party provider, with us, Paychex, Inc. and ProBusiness Services, Inc. comprising the other three large, national providers. ADP serves all sizes of employers, while Paychex focuses on small employers and ProBusiness focuses on large employers. Other third party payroll and tax filing providers are generally regional and local competitors, although larger, national providers of benefits administration or 401(k) processing services may contemplate expansion into outsourced payroll processing. In both the United Kingdom and Canada, we believe that our respective subsidiaries are the largest outsourced payroll processing providers in terms of revenue, in each case competing with several other national providers, including a subsidiary of ADP, and local providers. Competition in both the payroll processing and HRIS software areas also comes from a number of large, national software companies that provide both payroll processing software for in-house processing as well as HRIS software, often in conjunction with other enterprise management software applications.

    Apart from payroll processing and tax filing services, HRS' businesses generally compete with a variety of national and regional application software companies, training companies, consulting firms and human resource services providers. Generally, the market for these products and services is evolving and is not dominated by a small number of competitors.

    Currently, we believe the principal competitive factors in the human resource services industry are:

    Leadership in technology applications
    Customer service
    Choice of services
    Performance
    Price
    Functionality
    Ease and flexibility of use
    Customer support
    Industry standard technology architecture

We believe that the ability to integrate human resource management software applications with customers' other in-house applications and the ability to provide client/server-based solutions are becoming increasingly important competitive factors. While we believe our HRS businesses are able to compete effectively in the overall human resource services market, our continued ability to compete effectively will depend in large measure on our ability to timely develop and implement new technology, particularly that which incorporates industry standard architecture and client/server-based solutions, and provide leading-edge customer service.

Comdata.

    Our Comdata subsidiary provides transaction processing and information services to the transportation and other industries. Comdata's revenue from products and services for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997, excluding revenue from services to the gaming industry of $5.8 million in 1998 and $133.2 million in 1997, was as follows:

1999
  1998
  1997
$298.9 million   $261.5 million   $197.8 million

    Comdata's gaming services business was sold to First Data Corporation in exchange for its NTS transportation services business in the first quarter of 1998.

    Principal Market.  The trucking segment of the transportation industry is comprised of both long haul fleets and local fleets. Private fleets predominate in the local fleet segment, but play a lesser role in the

6


long haul fleet segment. Common carriers, which provide trucking services to companies that do not have fleets of trucks of their own, predominate in the long haul fleet segment, which is comprised of less-than-truckload and truckload components. The less-than-truckload component, which involves trucks that make multiple stops to load and unload, is characterized by large capital requirements and a relatively high degree of consolidation. The truckload component, which involves the transportation of full loads directly from shipper to final destination without going through any sorting terminals, is highly fragmented and, Comdata believes, is growing at the expense of the less-than-truckload component.

    The majority of Comdata's trucking company customers are common carriers serving the truckload component of the long haul segment. Many of these carriers do not employ their drivers, but instead contract with individual owner-operators. Such owner-operators usually settle their expenses with the common carrier after the completion of each trip. Drivers for truckload carriers often spend weeks on the road at a time, creating a number of unique conditions and business opportunities. Truckload carriers are challenged to monitor and control fuel purchases, provide driver services to aid in recruitment and improve retention, obtain necessary licenses and permits, and effectively manage the routing and logistics of such long-distance trips.

    Services.  Comdata provides services to trucking companies, truck stops and truck drivers in the long haul segment of the trucking industry, and is seeking to expand its service offerings to the local fleet segment. These services primarily involve the use of a proprietary funds transfer card which facilitates truck driver transactions and provides transaction control and trip information for trucking firms. Additionally, Comdata provides assistance in obtaining regulatory permits and other compliance services, driver relations services, local fueling services and discounted telecommunications services in its markets. Also, through its Payment Services Division, Comdata provides its specialty card products and services to customers outside of the transportation industry.

    Trucking Company Services (The Comchek® Card). Comdata's funds transfer system, most commonly initiated through the use of Comdata's proprietary Comchek card, is designed to enable truck drivers to obtain funding for purchases and cash advances at truck stops and other locations en route to their destination. Drivers may use the Comchek card to purchase fuel, lodging and other approved items, obtain cash advances from ATM machines or through the use of Comchek drafts, make long distance phone calls and make direct deposits of pay, settlements (for non-employee owner-operators) or trip advances to personal bank accounts. In 1999, Comdata processed approximately 70 million funds transfer transactions involving approximately $11.0 billion for the trucking industry.

    Use of the Comchek card allows the trucking company customer greater control over its expenses by allowing it to set limits on the use of the cards, such as by designating locations where the cards may be used, the frequency with which they may be used, phone numbers which may be called and the amount of authorized use. Use of a Comchek card also enables Comdata to capture and provide transaction and trip-related information to trucking company customers (usually within 24 hours after the completion of a given trip). This information greatly enhances a customer's ability to track and plan fuel purchases and other trip expenses and settle with drivers. Comdata also provides trucking companies with a Windows-based software application that provides trucking companies with on-line access to Comdata's computer system for data on fuel purchases and other trip information, and facilitates pre-and post-trip planning functions. Comdata's MOTRS (Modular Over The Road System) Web-based application enables customers to go on-line for local dial-up access, interactive reporting capabilities, the latest diesel fuel prices and related information from their desktop.

    Use of a Comchek card typically generates a Comchek draft, which is payable through a Comdata bank account. Comdata funds the underlying transaction when the truck stop (or other payee) negotiates the draft by depositing it in its bank account. Comdata bills the trucking company for the amount of the draft plus a portion of the service fee, and collects from the truck stop the balance of the service fee. The trucking company remits payment to Comdata by wire transfer or check, typically within six days, although

7


Comdata may bill trucking companies in advance for all funds transfers authorized for any purpose in connection with a particular trip.

    Approximately 15% of Comdata's funds transfer revenue is derived from transactions that do not involve the Comchek card. When a truck driver makes a request at a truck stop for a funds transfer, Comdata verifies that the driver's company has established sufficient credit. Upon presentation of valid identification, the truck stop obtains an authorization number from Comdata and issues a Comchek draft. Comdata also provides the previously described information gathering and processing services in connection with fueling transactions which Comdata does not fund, but instead are billed directly by the truck stop to the trucking company. Fees for these "direct bill" transactions are substantially lower. Comdata also provides fuel price tracking reports and management within a network of truck stops, including cost/plus fuel purchase programs.

    Comdata's Regulatory Compliance division determines the permits needed for a designated trip, truck and load, purchases those permits on behalf of the customer and delivers them by facsimile machine to a truck stop where they can be picked up by the driver. Comdata also provides certain regulatory compliance services, such as processing and auditing of driver trip logs, reporting of fuel taxes, annual licensing and motor vehicle registration verification. Vehicle escort services for oversized loads are also provided.

    Comdata offers a computerized shipment interchange system to help trucking companies find loads for their return trips and reduce empty backhauls. By making specific shipment information available to customers on a subscription basis, available shipments can be matched with available cargo space on a nationwide basis. Comdata generates and delivers invoices on behalf of trucking companies to their customers, and also purchases trucking company freight bills in addition to providing necessary invoicing. As a result of agreements with major telecommunications providers, Comdata offers long distance telecommunications services to its trucking company customers at volume discount rates that might not otherwise be available to these customers.

    Truck Stop Services.  Comdata maintains a nation-wide electronic data network with 24-hour independent truck stop service centers which utilize point-of-sale devices and other computer equipment to facilitate communication with Comdata's database and operations centers. The service centers act as Comdata's agents pursuant to a service center agreement, and typically also offer the funds transfer services of other companies.

    Comdata's merchant services division provides fueling centers with PC-based, point of sale systems which automate the various transactions that occur at a fuel purchase desk, systems which enable customers to transact card-based fuel purchases at the fuel pump, UPC scanning devices and truck stop management software. These systems accept many types of fuel purchase cards currently used by drivers. Comdata also makes long distance telecommunications services available to truck stops at volume discount rates.

    Driver Relations Services.  In order to assist trucking company customers in attracting and retaining drivers, Comdata makes available to trucking company employees and independent drivers the employee assistance and work-life services of Ceridian Performance Partners, and electronic mail services to drivers through kiosks placed in truck stops.

    Local Fueling.  Comdata is a provider of fuel management and payment systems for local transportation fleets. In 1999, Comdata provided local fleet operators with VISA‡ cards for their drivers' fuel purchases that offer the fleet operators transaction control and trip-related information gathering features similar to those of the Comchek card. Comdata is currently providing local fleet operators with Comchek MasterCard§ fleet cards.

    Payment Services and Comchek® eCash.  Building upon its transaction processing and funds transfer capabilities, Comdata established its Payment Services Division in 1999 for the purpose of extending Comdata's products and services to customers outside the transportation industry. Comchek eCash, marketed through the Payment Services Division, is a card-based service allowing employers or others to post or load payment of wages and other payments, such as expense reimbursements, to Comchek cards issued to employees and other recipients. Card holders, in turn, may access these funds in a number of ways, including withdrawal of cash from ATMs, point-of-sale purchases at stores or issuance of a Comdata negotiable draft. Long distance telephone service is also available through the card.

    In March 1999, Comdata acquired a majority interest in Louisville, Kentucky-based Stored Value Systems, Inc. Among other services, SVS provides debit cards to major retailers that are used as gift cards, replacing traditional paper gift certificates, for credits for returned product and for retailer promotions. SVS believes that its cards provide certain benefits to retailers and their customers, including, without limitation, ease of use and certain controls previously difficult to realize. Cards and other services available through SVS are also believed to have certain benefits in e-commerce, facilitating transactions between on-line merchants and their customers.

    Sales and Marketing.  Comdata markets its services through a direct sales force operating in various cities throughout the United States, and through a centralized tele-sales operation. Comdata has contracts with approximately 21,000 long haul trucking companies, ranging in size from those with several thousand trucks to those with fewer than five trucks. Comdata also has relationships with approximately 7,000 fueling locations. Contracts with trucking companies generally range from one to three years in duration, while contracts with service centers are typically one or two years in duration. No single customer represented more than 2% of Comdata's 1999 revenue. Comdata is emphasizing the selling of a greater variety of its products and services to its existing customers and customers of Ceridian's other businesses.

    Competition.  The principal competitive factors relevant to funds transfers are marketing efforts, pricing, reliability of computer and communications systems and time required to effect transactions. The major credit and debit card companies are significant competitors of Comdata in that they make cash available to, and facilitate purchases of fuel and other products by, holders of their cards on a nationwide basis. Several other companies also offer similar funds transfer services. In addition, truck stops often negotiate directly with trucking companies for a direct billing relationship. Certain of Comdata's competitors also operate or franchise nationwide truck stop chains. In addition, Comdata competes with service centers (such as truck stops) that offer similar products and services. Comdata also faces increasing competition in the funds transfer area from ATMs that participate in national networks.

    While the majority of regulatory services continue to be performed in-house, at least one other nationwide company and several regional companies provide permit services similar to those provided by Comdata. Competition in this market is influenced by price, the expertise of personnel and the ease with which permits may be ordered and received. In addition, Comdata believes that technological advances (such as the Internet) will impact the way regulatory services are defined. These advances may give rise to new competitors or change the way this service is offered.

    Comdata believes that its competitive strengths include its:

    Ability to provide services to trucking companies and drivers at a large number of locations in the continental United States and Canada

    Ability to offer a variety of services, frequently tailored to an individual customer's needs

    Proprietary databases regarding funds transfers and fuel purchases

    Long-term experience relationships in the transportation industry

    High quality of customer service

    Market leader in product design

    Network and Data Processing Operations.  Comdata's principal communications center for its funds transfer business is located near its headquarters in Brentwood, Tennessee, with a secondary center located in Dallas, Texas. WilTel, a wholesale services subsidiary of WorldCom, is the primary supplier of telecommunications services to Comdata pursuant to an agreement that continues to January 2003. Substantially all of Comdata's internal data processing functions, including its payment processing systems, are provided by IBM Global Services pursuant to an agreement that continues to April 2005.

    Regulation.  Many states require persons engaged in the business of selling or issuing payment instruments (such as the Comchek draft) or in the business of transmitting funds to obtain a license from the appropriate state agency. In certain states, Comdata is required to post bonds or other collateral to secure its obligations to its customers in those states. Comdata believes that it is currently in compliance in all material respects with the regulatory requirements applicable to its business. The failure to comply with the requirements of any particular state could have a material adverse effect on Comdata's business in that state.

Arbitron.

    Arbitron provides media and marketing information (primarily radio audience measurement) to broadcasters, advertising agencies, advertisers and, through a joint venture, newspapers and magazine publishers and TV broadcasters. Arbitron also provides software applications that give customers access to Arbitron's database and, through a joint venture, measurement data concerning consumer retail behavior and media usage. Arbitron's revenue for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

1999

  1998
  1997
$215.4 million   $194.5 million   $165.2 million

    Markets.  Significant consolidation of radio station ownership has occurred in the United States in recent years, which has tended to intensify competition within the radio industry and to intensify competition between radio and other forms of media for advertising dollars. At the same time, audiences have become more fragmented as a result of greatly increased programming choices and entertainment/media options. As a result, advertisers increasingly seek to tailor advertising strategies to target specific demographic groups through specific media, and the audience information needs of radio broadcasters, advertising agencies and advertisers have correspondingly become more complex. Increased competition and more complex information requirements have heightened the need of radio broadcasters for improved information management systems and more sophisticated means to analyze such information. In addition, there is a growing demand for quality radio audience information internationally from global advertisers, United States broadcasters who have acquired broadcasting interests in other countries and an increasing number of private commercial broadcasters in other countries.

    These trends also affect other media. As the importance of reaching niche audiences with targeted marketing strategies increases, broadcasters, publishers, advertising agencies and advertisers increasingly require that information regarding exposure to advertising be provided on a more individualized basis and that such information be coupled with information regarding shopping patterns and purchaser behavior. The need for purchase data information may create opportunities for innovative approaches to satisfy these information needs, particularly as technological advances increase the alternatives available to advertisers for reaching potential customers, including the possibilities of interactive communication.

    Services.  Arbitron is a leading provider of radio audience measurement information in the United States. Arbitron estimates audience size and demographics in the United States for local radio stations, and reports this and related data to its customers. This information is used by radio stations to price and sell advertising time and by advertising agencies and large corporate advertisers in purchasing advertising time. Arbitron's proprietary data regarding radio audience size and demographics is provided to customers through multi-year license agreements. Arbitron uses listener diaries to gather radio listening data from

10


sample households in the 276 local markets for which it currently provides radio ratings. Respondents mail the diaries to Arbitron's processing center where Arbitron compiles periodic audience measurement estimates. All markets are measured at least twice each year, and major markets are measured four times per year.

    Arbitron also provides software applications that give customers access to Arbitron's database, and enable them to more effectively analyze and understand that information and develop target marketing strategies. Arbitron is also developing applications to enable customers to link information provided by Arbitron's database with information from other databases (such as product purchasing behavior) so as to enable customers to further refine sales strategies and compete more effectively for advertising dollars. The radio audience measurement service and related software sales represented 79% of Arbitron's total 1999 revenue.

    Arbitron also provides measurements of consumer retail behavior and media usage in 262 local markets throughout the United States. Arbitron's Scarborough Research Partnership joint venture provides information regarding product/service usage and media usage in 67 large United States markets, utilizing a sample of consumers in the relevant markets to measure product and service purchases. This information is provided twice each year to newspapers, radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, advertisers and advertising agencies in the form of the Scarborough Report. Arbitron has the exclusive right to market the Scarborough Report to radio broadcasters and cable systems. Arbitron has also developed and introduced in 40 mid-sized United States markets its RetailDirect service, which is a locally oriented, purchase data research service. The service, which utilizes diaries and telephone surveys, provides a profile of the broadcast audience in terms of local media, retail and consumer preferences so that local radio and television broadcasters and cable systems will have information that helps them develop targeted sales and programming strategies. Arbitron's Qualitative Diary service collects consumer and media usage information from Arbitron radio diary keepers in the smaller United States markets.

    Through its Continental Research division, Arbitron provides media, advertising, financial and telecommunications research services in the United Kingdom and Europe. As a result of Arbitron's purchase of the radio station, advertiser/agency and international assets of Tapscan, Inc., Arbitron provides software applications for broadcasters, ad agencies and advertisers that help customers analyze ratings data and make marketing decisions. The Tapscan acquisition contributes to Arbitron's ability to expand into Europe and other geographic markets. Arbitron continues to explore opportunities that would facilitate the expansion of its audience measurement service into selected international markets, provide additional software applications to broadcasters and advertisers and develop measurement products for the Internet.

    Arbitron has developed a portable people meter (PPM) system capable of measuring radio, television, cable, Internet streaming and satellite audiences. During 1999, Arbitron tested the PPM in Manchester, England. In October 1999, Arbitron granted a license to Taylor Nelson Sofres to Arbitron's patented audio encoding technology for television audience measurement services in the United Kingdom. Arbitron's patented audio encoding technology was developed as part of its PPM.

    Sales and Marketing.  As of December 31, 1999, Arbitron provided its radio audience measurement and related services to over 3,400 radio stations and over 2,700 advertising agencies and advertisers nationwide under contracts that vary in length from one to seven years. Arbitron markets its products and services through a direct sales force operating through offices in seven cities around the United States.

    In recent years, a small number of enterprises have greatly expanded their holdings of United States radio broadcasters, and this consolidation of ownership is continuing. As a result of consolidation of United States radio broadcasters, Arbitron has one customer, AMFM, Inc., that represented more than 10% of 1999 segment revenue, and two additional customers that in aggregate represented approximately 17% of 1999 segment revenue. Although the industry consolidation that has led to the increased concentration of Arbitron's customer base could put pressure on the pricing of Arbitron's radio ratings service, it has also contributed to an increase in the number of stations subscribing for the ratings service,

11


as stations have become Arbitron customers upon their acquisition by a larger broadcasting group. It has also been Arbitron's experience that stations which are part of a larger broadcasting group have been somewhat more likely to purchase analytical software applications and other services in addition to the ratings service. Furthermore, Arbitron believes that it is well positioned to provide products and services that meet the needs of large broadcasting groups.

    Competition.  Arbitron competes with another provider of radio audience measurement services which utilizes a different survey methodology than Arbitron. Arbitron also competes with other providers of applications software, qualitative data and proprietary qualitative studies used by broadcasters, cable systems, advertising agencies and advertisers.

Additional Financial Information About Segments.

    We refer you to Note C, Segment Data, on pages 28 and 29 of our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders for additional financial information about our business segments. This information is incorporated by reference into this section of the report. Note C is part of our consolidated financial statements contained in our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 13.03.

Other Investments and Divestitures.

    In addition to the acquisitions of Ceridian Benefits Services and a majority interest in SVS, we refer you to Note J, Investing Activity, on page 38 of our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders for further information on our investing and divesting activities.

Additional Information.

    Patents and Trademarks.  Ceridian owns or licenses a number of patents which relate to our products and are important to our businesses. A number of our products and services are marketed under federally registered trademarks that are helpful in creating recognition in the marketplace. However, we believe that none of our businesses are materially dependent upon any particular patent, license or trademark, or any particular group of patents, licenses or trademarks.

    Backlog.  Although our businesses are typically characterized by long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue, a substantial portion of our customer contracts used by our businesses are terminable by our customers upon relatively short notice periods, including contracts that have been extended beyond their original terms. In addition, the period between the time a customer agrees to use one of our services and the time the service begins is generally relatively short. For these reasons, we do not believe that meaningful backlog information can be provided for our businesses.

    Research and Development.  The table below reflects the amount of research and development expenses for our continuing operations for the periods indicated.

    In the year 1999, our total square footage of aggregate space leased and owned worldwide increased from about 3.0 million square feet to close to 4.0 million square feet primarily due to the acquisition of Ceridian Benefits Services in June 1999. This acquisition added twenty-two facilities with a total square footage of approximately 738,000, including a 383,000 square foot office campus that is being renovated in St. Petersburg, Florida that will house certain Ceridian Benefits Services operations and is anticipated to be completed in the first half of 2000.

    We conduct a substantial portion of our operations in leased facilities. Most of these leases contain renewal options and require payments for taxes, insurance and maintenance. Space subject to assigned leases is not included in the table above, and we remain secondarily liable under all such leases. As of December 31, 1999, the assigned leases consisted of 600,000 square feet of space and future rental obligations totaling $7.7 million. We do not anticipate any material non-performance by the assignees of these leases. We also refer you to Note I, Leasing, on page 37 of our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders for information regarding leased property of Ceridian and our subsidiaries. Note I is part of our consolidated financial statements contained in our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 13.03.

    A new corporate headquarters building is being constructed in Bloomington, Minnesota. The site is approximately 24.8 acres (6.5 acres is buildable). The new 200,000 square foot, five story facility will replace the current headquarters site in Bloomington, Minnesota whose lease expires in July 2000. The new facility will be occupied by Ceridian Employer Services, Ceridian Performance Partners and corporate staff in May and June of this year.

    None of our owned facilities are subject to any major encumbrances. We believe that our facilities are adequate for their intended purposes, are adequately maintained and are reasonably necessary for current and anticipated output levels of those businesses.

G. The parties recognize that in light of the above-described commitment and forebearance of career options, it is essential that, for the benefit of Ceridian and its stockholders, provision be made for a Change of Control Termination (as defined below) in order to enable Executive to accept and effectively continue in Executive's position in the face of inherently disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change of Control of the Parent Corporation (as defined below), although no such change is now contemplated or foreseen. H. The parties wish to replace any and all prior agreements and undertakings with respect to Executive's employment and Change of Control occurrences and compensation. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's acceptance of and continuance in Executive's employment for the term of this Agreement and the parties' agreement to be bound by the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS 1.01 "BASE SALARY" shall mean regular cash compensation paid on a periodic basis exclusive of benefits, bonuses or incentive payments. 1.02 "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of Parent Corporation. 1.03 "CERIDIAN" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, (a) any Subsidiary (as that term is defined in Section 1.07); and (b) any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise. 1.04 "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean information or material of Ceridian which is not generally available to or used by others, or the utility or value of which is not generally known or recognized as standard practice, whether or not the underlying details are in the public domain, including: (a) information or material relating to Ceridian and its business as conducted or anticipated to be conducted; business plans; operations; past, current or anticipated software, products or services; customers or prospective customers; or 2 research, engineering, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, or marketing activities; (b) information or material relating to Ceridian's inventions, improvements, discoveries, "know-how," technological developments, or unpublished writings or other works of authorship, or to the materials, apparatus, processes, formulae, plans or methods used in the development, manufacture or marketing of Ceridian's software, products or services; (c) information on or material relating to Ceridian which when received is marked as "proprietary," "private," or "confidential;" (d) trade secrets of Ceridian; (e) software of Ceridian in various stages of development, including computer programs in source code and binary code form, software designs, specifications, programming aids (including "library subroutines" and productivity tools), programming languages, interfaces, visual displays, technical documentation, user manuals, data files and databases of Ceridian; and (f) any similar information of the type described above which Ceridian obtained from another party and which Ceridian treats as or designates as being proprietary, private or confidential, whether or not owned or developed by Ceridian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Confidential Information" does not include any information which is properly published or in the public domain; provided, however, that information which is published by or with the aid of Executive outside the scope of employment or contrary to the requirements of this Agreement will not be considered to have been properly published, and therefore will not be in the public domain for purposes of this Agreement. 1.05 "DISABILITY" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his or her duties under this Agreement because of illness or incapacity for a continuous period of six months. 1.06 "PARENT CORPORATION" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise. "Parent Corporation" shall not include any Subsidiary. 1.07 "SUBSIDIARY" shall mean: (a) any corporation at least a majority of whose securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors (other than securities having such power only by reason of the occurrence of a contingency) is at the time owned by Parent Corporation and/or one or more Subsidiaries; and (b) any division or business unit (or portion thereof) of Parent Corporation or a corporation described in clause (a) of this Section 1.07. 3 ARTICLE II EMPLOYMENT, DUTIES AND TERM 2.01 EMPLOYMENT. Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Ceridian hereby employs Executive, and Executive accepts such employment. 2.02 DUTIES. Executive shall devote his or her full-time and best efforts to Ceridian and to fulfilling the duties of his or her position which shall include such duties as may from time to time be assigned him or her by Ceridian, provided that such duties are reasonably consistent with Executive's education, experience and background. Executive shall comply with Ceridian's policies and procedures to the extent they are not inconsistent with this Agreement in which case the provisions of this Agreement prevail. 2.03 TERM. Subject to the provisions of Articles IV, VII, and VIII, this Agreement and Executive's employment shall continue until the later of: (a) OCTOBER 1, 2002; and (b) two years after a Change of Control which occurs prior to OCTOBER 1, 2002 ("Initial Term"). Upon expiration of the Initial Term and subject to the provisions of Articles IV, VII and VIII, this Agreement and Executive's employment shall be automatically extended for successive three year periods. ARTICLE III COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES 3.01 BASE SALARY. For all services rendered under this Agreement during the term of this Agreement, Ceridian shall pay Executive a minimum Base Salary at the annual rate currently being paid or, if Executive is not currently in Ceridian's employ, at the annual rate specified in the written offer of employment. If Executive's salary is increased from time to time during the term of this Agreement, the increased amount shall be the Base Salary for the remainder of the term. 3.02 BONUS AND INCENTIVE. Bonus or incentive compensation shall be at the sole discretion of Ceridian. Except as otherwise provided in Article VII, Ceridian shall have the right, in accordance with their terms, to alter, amend or eliminate any bonus or incentive plans, or Executive's participation therein, without compensation to Executive. 3.03 BUSINESS EXPENSES. Ceridian shall, consistent with its policies in effect from time to time, bear all ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive in performing his or her duties as an employee of Ceridian, provided that Executive accounts promptly for such expenses to Ceridian in the manner prescribed from time to time by Ceridian. 4 ARTICLE IV EARLY TERMINATION 4.01 EARLY TERMINATION. This Article shall not apply to a Change of Control Termination which is governed solely by the provisions of Article VII, and does not alter the respective continuing obligations of the parties pursuant to Articles V, VI, and IX. 4.02 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment immediately for cause. For the purpose hereof "cause" means: (a) fraud; (b) misrepresentation; (c) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets; (d) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude; (e) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; and/or (f) the continued failure by Executive to attempt in good faith to perform his or her duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days after a written demand for such performance which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not attempted in good faith to perform such duties. In the event of termination for cause pursuant to this Section 4.02, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of Executive's annual Base Salary through the date of termination specified in any written notice of termination. 4.03 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Either Executive or Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment without cause on at least 75 days' written notice. In the event of termination of this Agreement and of Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4.03, compensation shall be paid as follows: (a) if the notice of termination is given by Executive, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period; (b) if the notice of termination is given by Ceridian, (1) Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period, however, Ceridian shall have the option of making termination of the Agreement and Executive's employment effective immediately upon notice in which case Executive shall be paid a lump sum representing the value of 75 days worth of salary; and (2) Executive shall receive, starting within 15 days after the end of the 5 75 day notice period, two year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis. In addition, Executive shall receive the bonus, if any, to which Executive would otherwise have become entitled under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans in effect at the time of termination of this Agreement had Executive remained continuously employed for the full fiscal year in which termination occurred and continued to perform his or her duties in the same manner as they were performed immediately prior to termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which termination occurred and the denominator of which is 12. This bonus amount shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. In addition, Ceridian shall provide or make arrangements for reasonable outplacement services for Executive based on his or her level within Ceridian. (c) In the event that termination occurs pursuant to Section 4.03(b), in addition to the payments specified therein, Ceridian shall pay to Executive an amount equal to one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis, provided Executive executes a release, similar to that attached as Exhibit A, of all claims against Ceridian. 4.04 TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement shall terminate in the event of death or disability of Executive. (a) In the event of Executive's death, Ceridian shall pay an amount equal to 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's death plus the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which the death occurs had "target" goals been achieved. Such amount shall be paid (1) to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing to Ceridian by Executive, (2) in the absence of such designation to the surviving spouse, or (3) if there is no surviving spouse, or such surviving spouse disclaims all or any part, then the full amount, or such disclaimed portion, shall be paid to the executor, administrator or other personal representative of Executive's estate. The amount shall be paid as a lump sum as soon as practicable following Ceridian's receipt of notice of Executive's death. All such payments shall be in addition to any payments due pursuant to Section 4.04(c) below. (b) In the event of Executive's disability, Base Salary shall be terminated as of the end of the month in which the last day of the six-month period of Executive's inability to perform his or her duties occurs. (c) In the event of termination by reason of Executive's death or disability, Ceridian shall pay to Executive any amount equal to (1) the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which termination occurs 6 had "target" goals been achieved, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which the death or disability occurred and the denominator of which is 12. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. 4.05 RETIREMENT. (a) Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment as a result of Executive's decision to retire from Ceridian. Executive shall provide Ceridian with at least 75 days' written notice of the date upon which Executive intends to retire. Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the date of retirement stipulated in the written notice. (b) In the event that Executive terminates this Agreement as a result of Executive's decision to retire from Ceridian and Executive is at least 55 years of age with five or more years of service to Ceridian, then Executive (and anyone entitled to claim under or through Executive) shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian the same or equivalent health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, life insurance coverages, and all other insurance policies and health and welfare benefits programs, policies or arrangements, at the same levels and coverages as Executive was receiving on the day immediately prior to his or her retirement. Executive shall be required to pay no more for the above mentioned benefits than he/she paid as an active employee, or if provided by Ceridian at no cost to employees on the day immediately prior to Executive's retirement, they shall continue to be made available to Executive on this basis. 4.06 ENTIRE TERMINATION PAYMENT. The compensation provided for in this Article IV for early termination of this Agreement and termination pursuant to this Article IV shall constitute Executive's sole remedy for such termination. Executive shall not be entitled to any other termination or severance payment which may be payable to Executive under any other agreement between Executive and Ceridian. ARTICLE V CONFIDENTIALITY, DISCLOSURE AND ASSIGNMENT 5.01 CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or his/her employment, publish, disclose, or utilize in any manner any Confidential Information obtained while employed by Ceridian. If Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Executive will not, without Ceridian's prior written consent, retain or take away any drawing, writing or other record in any form containing any Confidential Information. 5.02 BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS. During the term of employment with Ceridian, Executive will engage in no activity or employment which may conflict with the interest of Ceridian, and will comply with Ceridian's policies and guidelines pertaining to business conduct and ethics. 5.03 DISCLOSURE. Executive will disclose promptly in writing to Ceridian all inventions, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship which are conceived, made, discovered, or written jointly or singly on Ceridian time or on Executive's own time, providing the invention, improvement, discovery, software, writing or other work of authorship is capable of being used by Ceridian in the normal course of business, and all such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship shall belong solely to Ceridian. 7 5.04 INSTRUMENTS OF ASSIGNMENT. Executive will sign and execute all instruments of assignment and other papers to evidence vestiture of Executive's entire right, title and interest in such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship in Ceridian, at the request and the expense of Ceridian, and Executive will do all acts and sign all instruments of assignment and other papers Ceridian may reasonably request relating to applications for patents, patents, copyrights, and the enforcement and protection thereof. If Executive is needed, at any time, to give testimony, evidence, or opinions in any litigation or proceeding involving any patents or copyrights or applications for patents or copyrights, both domestic and foreign, relating to inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship conceived, developed or reduced to practice by Executive, Executive agrees to do so, and if Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Ceridian shall pay Executive at a rate mutually agreeable to Executive and Ceridian, plus reasonable traveling or other expenses. 5.05 INVENTIONS DEVELOPED ON EXECUTIVE'S OWN TIME. The two immediately preceding sections entitled "Disclosure" and "Instruments of Assignment" do not apply to inventions in which a Ceridian claim of any rights will create a violation of Chapter 181 Minnesota Statutes, Section 181.78, reproduced below and constituting the written notification of its Subdivision 3. 181.78 Agreements; terms relating to inventions Subdivision 1. Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee's rights in an invention to the employer shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or (b) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this state and is to that extent void and unenforceable. Subdivision 2. No employer shall require a provision made void and unenforceable by subdivision 1 as a condition of employment or continuing employment. Subdivision 3. IF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER AUGUST 1, 1977, CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN ANY OF THE EMPLOYEE'S RIGHTS IN ANY INVENTION TO AN 8 EMPLOYER, THE EMPLOYER MUST ALSO, AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT IS MADE, PROVIDE A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO THE EMPLOYEE THAT THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE EMPLOYER WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN TIME, AND (1) WHICH DOES NOT RELATE (a) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER OR (b) TO THE EMPLOYER'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT, OR (2) WHICH DOES NOT RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. 5.06 EXECUTIVE'S DECLARATION. Executive has no inventions, data bases, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship useful to Ceridian in the normal course of business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from this Agreement. 5.07 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article V shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VI NON-COMPETITION, NON-RECRUITMENT, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT 6.01 GENERAL. The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Executive is a senior executive of Ceridian and is a key executive of Ceridian, (b) Executive has received, and will in the future receive, substantial amounts of Confidential Information, (c) Ceridian's business is conducted on a worldwide basis, and (d) provision for non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement obligations by Executive is critical to Ceridian's continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this Article VI sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive's obligations of non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and/or Executive's employment for any reason. 6.02 NON-COMPETITION. (a) Unless the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, Executive agrees that for a period of three years following termination of employment for any reason ("Non-Compete Period"), Executive will not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer, director, shareholder or employee of any other firm or entity, engage in any commercial activity in competition with any part of Ceridian's business as conducted as of the date of such termination of employment or with any part of Ceridian's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has Confidential Information. For purposes of this subsection (a), "shareholder" shall 9 not include beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange. Also for purposes of this subsection (a), "Ceridian's business" shall include business conducted by Ceridian or its affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or its affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that, "affiliate" as used in this sentence shall not include any corporation in which Ceridian has ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting stock. (b) At its sole option Ceridian may, by written notice to Executive at any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time and/or geographic area in which Executive cannot engage in competitive activity. (c) During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which offers competitive products or services, Executive shall give 30 days prior written notice to Ceridian. Such written notice shall describe the firm and the employment or consulting services to be rendered to the firm or entity, and shall include a copy of the written offer of employment or engagement of consulting services. Ceridian's failure to respond or object to such notice shall not in any way constitute acquiescence or waiver of Ceridian's rights under this Article VI. (d) In the event Executive has provided notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and has not accepted employment with or agreed to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity directly as a result of his or her non-competition obligation pursuant to this Section 6.02, Ceridian shall pay Executive an amount equal to the usual rate of Executive's Base Salary in effect at the time of termination on a regular payroll period basis until the end of the Non-Compete Period. There shall be credited against Ceridian's obligation to make such payments any other payments made by Ceridian to Executive pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. In the event that Ceridian elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, to waive all or any portion of the non-competition obligation set forth in subsection (a) hereof, no payment shall be required by Ceridian with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period which has been waived. (e) In the event Executive fails to provide notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and/or in anyway violates its non-competition obligation pursuant to Section 6.02, Ceridian may enforce all of its rights and remedies provided to it under this Agreement, in law and in equity, and Executive shall be deemed to have expressly waived any rights he or she may have had to payments under subsection (d) of this Section 6.02. 6.03 NON-RECRUITMENT. For a period of three years following termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not initiate or actively participate in any other employer's recruitment or hiring of Ceridian employees. This provision shall not preclude Executive 10 from responding to a request (other than by Executive's employer) for a reference with respect to an individual's employment qualifications. 6.04 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or Executive's employment, make disparaging statements, in any form, about Ceridian, its officers, directors, agents, employees, products or services which Executive knows, or has reason to believe, are false or misleading. 6.05 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article VI shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VII CHANGE OF CONTROL 7.01 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article VII, the following definitions shall be applied: (a) "BENEFIT PLAN" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for Executive. (b) "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean any of the following events: (1) a merger or consolidation to which Parent Corporation is a party if the individuals and entities who were stockholders of Parent Corporation immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation have beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power for election of directors of the surviving corporation immediately following the effective date of such merger or consolidation; or (2) the direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in the aggregate of securities of Parent Corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total combined voting power of Parent Corporation's then issued and outstanding securities by any person or entity, or group of associated persons or entities acting in concert; provided, however, that for purposes of hereof, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by Parent Corporation, or (B) any acquisition by any 11 employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Parent Corporation or any corporation controlled by Parent Corporation; or (3) the sale of the properties and assets of Parent Corporation, substantially as an entirety, to any person or entity which is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Corporation; or (4) the stockholders of Parent Corporation approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation of Parent Corporation; or (5) a change in the composition of the Board at any time during any consecutive 24 month period such that the "Continuity Directors" cease for any reason to constitute at least a seventy percent (70%) majority of the Board. For purposes of this clause, "Continuity Directors" means those members of the Board who either (A) were directors at the beginning of such consecutive 24 month period, or (B) were elected by, or on the nomination or recommendation of, at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the then-existing Board; or (6) such other event or transaction as the Board shall determine constitutes a Change of Control. (c) "CHANGE OF CONTROL COMPENSATION" means any payment or benefit (including any transfer of property) in the nature of compensation, to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement or any Other Agreement or Benefit Plan, which is considered to be contingent on a Change of Control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code. (d) "CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION" means, with respect to Executive, either of the following events occurring within two years after a Change of Control: (1) Termination of Executive's employment by Ceridian for any reason other than (A) fraud, (B) misrepresentation, (C) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets, (D) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude, or (E) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; or (2) Termination of employment with Ceridian by Executive pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Article VII. 12 A Change of Control Termination by Executive shall not, however, include termination by reason of death or Disability. (e) "CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code shall include the corresponding section of such Code as from time to time amended. (f) "GOOD REASON" means a good faith determination by Executive, in Executive's sole and absolute judgment, that any one or more of the following events has occurred, without Executive's express written consent, after a Change of Control: (1) A change in Executive's reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or any removal of Executive from, or any failure to re-elect Executive to, any of such positions, which has the effect of materially diminishing Executive's responsibility or authority; (2) A reduction by Ceridian in Executive's Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; (3) Ceridian requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within 25 miles of Executive's job location at the time of the Change of Control; (4) Without replacement by plans, programs, or arrangements which, taken as a whole, provide benefits to Executive at least reasonably comparable to those discontinued or adversely affected, (A) the failure by Ceridian to continue in effect, within its maximum stated term, any pension, bonus, incentive, stock ownership, purchase, option, life insurance, health, accident, disability, or any other employee compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement, in which Executive is participating immediately prior to a Change of Control; or (B) the taking of any action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect Executive's participation or materially reduce Executive's benefits under any of such plans, programs or arrangements; (5) The failure by Ceridian to provide office space, furniture, and secretarial support at least comparable to that provided Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control or the taking of any similar action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect the working conditions in or under which Executive performs his or her employment duties; 13 (6) If Executive's primary employment duties are with a Subsidiary, the sale, merger, contribution, transfer or any other transaction in conjunction with which Parent Corporation's ownership interest in such Subsidiary decreases below the level specified in Section 1.07 of Article I unless (A) this Agreement is assigned to the purchaser/transferee with the provisions of Article VII in full force and effect and operative as if a Change of Control has occurred with respect to the purchaser/transferee as Parent Corporation immediately after the purchase/transfer becomes effective, and (B) such purchaser/transferee has a creditworthiness reasonably equivalent to Parent Corporation's; or (7) Any material breach of this Agreement by Ceridian. (g) "OTHER AGREEMENTS" means any agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into between Executive and Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive. 7.02 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION RIGHT. For a period of two years following a Change of Control that occurred during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall have the right, at any time and within Executive's sole discretion, to terminate employment with Ceridian for Good Reason. Such termination shall be accomplished by, and effective upon, Executive giving written notice to Ceridian of Executive's decision to terminate. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the exercise of said right, all obligations and duties of Executive under this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. 7.03 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION PAYMENT. (a) In the event of a Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall, within five days of such termination, make a lump sum payment to Executive in an amount equal to three times the sum of (i) 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's termination, (ii) the bonus, if any, that Executive would have received under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans for the year in which the termination occurs had "superior" goals been achieved, and (iii) the annual perquisite cash adder Executive would have received in the year in which the termination occurs. (b) In addition to the payments made pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof, in the event the Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall provide to Executive a pension supplement equivalent to the difference, if any, between: (i) the monthly benefits to which Executive would have been entitled under the defined benefit pension plan or plans in which Executive participates immediately prior to the Change of Control Termination which includes an additional five years of age and service for terminations on or prior to December 31, 2004 or an additional three years of age and service for terminations after December 31, 2004; and (ii) the amount to which Executive is, in fact, entitled under such defined benefit pension plan or plans. (c) Neither the payments made or the pension supplement provided pursuant to this Section 7.03 nor any other compensation to be provided to Executive by Ceridian pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or Benefit Plan which may be considered Change of Control Compensation shall be subject to any limitation on Change of Control Compensation which may otherwise be expressed in any such agreement or Benefit Plan. 14 7.04 TAX REIMBURSEMENT. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payments or distributions by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any payments required under this Section 7.04) (collectively, the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04(d), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7.04, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ceridian's external auditors (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ceridian and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by Ceridian. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm" hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Ceridian. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7.04, shall be paid by Ceridian to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Ceridian and Executive. (c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made by Ceridian will not have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Ceridian exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.04(d) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive. 15 (d) Executive shall notify Ceridian in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority that, if successful, would require the payment by Ceridian of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise Ceridian of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to Ceridian (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Ceridian notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give Ceridian any information reasonably requested by Ceridian relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Ceridian shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Ceridian; (iii) cooperate with Ceridian in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit Ceridian to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Ceridian shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.04(d), Ceridian shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Ceridian shall determine; provided further, however, that if Ceridian directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Ceridian shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any 16 Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, Ceridian's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. (e) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to Ceridian's complying with the requirements of Section 7.04(d)) promptly pay to Ceridian the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Ceridian does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 7.05 INTEREST. In the event Ceridian does not make timely payment in full of the Change of Control Termination payment described in Section 7.03, Executive shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid amount at the lower of: (a) the prime rate of interest (or such comparable index as may be adopted) established from time to time by the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, New York, New York or its successor in interest; or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. 7.06 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Executive incurs any legal expense to enforce or defend his or her rights under this Article VII of this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach thereof, Executive shall be entitled to recover from Ceridian any expenses for attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred. 7.07 BENEFITS CONTINUATION. In the event of a Change of Control Termination, Executive (and anyone entitled to claim under or through Executive) shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian the same or equivalent health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, life insurance coverages, and all other insurance policies and health and welfare benefits programs, policies or arrangements, at the same levels and coverages as Executive was receiving on the day immediately prior to 17 the Change of Control at a cost not to exceed the amount Executive would continue to pay had he/she continued to be an active employee of Ceridian. To the extent that election of continuation of any of such coverages, programs, policies, or arrangements is made available to employees terminating at age 55 with 15 or more years of service, Executive shall be required to pay no more for continuation than is required of such employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control. If no such continuation program is available, Executive shall be required to pay no more than he/she paid as an active employee, or if provided by Ceridian at no cost to employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, they shall continue to be made available to Executive on this basis. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY STATUS In the event that, prior to a Change of Control: (a) a Subsidiary is sold, merged, contributed, or in any other manner transferred, or if for any reason Parent Corporation's ownership interest in any such Subsidiary falls below the level specified in Section 1.07, (b) Executive's primary employment duties are with the Subsidiary at the time of the occurrence of such event, and (c) Executive does not, in conjunction therewith, transfer employment directly to Parent Corporation or another Subsidiary, then: (1) If Executive gives his or her written consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such Subsidiary, or to the purchaser or new majority interest holder of such Subsidiary, (and such assignment is accepted) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between Executive and the assignee, except that the provisions of Article VII of this Agreement shall become null and void; (2) If such assignment is not accepted by the Subsidiary or purchaser, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by Ceridian without cause pursuant to Section 4.03 of Article IV; and (3) In all other cases, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.02 of Article IV. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.01 NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The parties declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and therefore injunctive relief is appropriate. Therefore, if either party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions 18 hereof, such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law. 9.02 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Parent Corporation and each Subsidiary, whether by way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of Ceridian, and any such successor or assign shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of Ceridian's obligations hereunder. 9.03 NOTICES.

The parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that the implementation of this Governing Law provision is essential in light of the fact that Parent Corporation's corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located within the State of Minnesota, and there is a critical need for uniformity in the interpretation and enforcement of the employment agreements between Ceridian and its senior executives. 19 9.06 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 9.07 WAIVERS. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by any related document or by law. 9.08 MODIFICATION.

Walsh Title: Chair, Compensation and Human Resources Committee Address: - ------------------ - ------------------ 20 EX-10.04 4 EX-10.04 EXHIBIT 10.04 CERIDIAN CORPORATION EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT PARTIES CERIDIAN CORPORATION (A DELAWARE CORPORATION) 8100 34TH AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55425-1640 AND STEPHEN B. MORRIS ("EXECUTIVE") DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1999 RECITALS A. Ceridian wishes to obtain the services of Executive for the duration of this Agreement, and Executive wishes to provide his or her services for such period. B. Ceridian desires reasonable protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information (as defined below). C. Ceridian desires assurance that Executive will not compete with Ceridian, engage in recruitment of Ceridian's employees or make disparaging statements about Ceridian after termination of employment, and Executive is willing to refrain from such competition, recruitment and disparagement. D. Executive desires to be assured of a minimum Base Salary (as defined below) from Ceridian for Executive's services for the term of this Agreement (unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). E. It is expressly recognized by the parties that Executive's acceptance of, and continuance in, Executive's position with Ceridian and agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement represents a substantial commitment to Ceridian in terms of Executive's personal and professional career and a foregoing of present and future career options by Executive, for all of which Ceridian receives substantial value. F. The parties recognize that a Change of Control (as defined below) may result in material alteration or diminishment of Executive's position and responsibilities and substantially 1 frustrate the purpose of Executive's commitment to Ceridian and forebearance of career options. G. The parties recognize that in light of the above-described commitment and forebearance of career options, it is essential that, for the benefit of Ceridian and its stockholders, provision be made for a Change of Control Termination (as defined below) in order to enable Executive to accept and effectively continue in Executive's position in the face of inherently disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change of Control of the Parent Corporation (as defined below), although no such change is now contemplated or foreseen. H. The parties wish to replace any and all prior agreements and undertakings with respect to Executive's employment and Change of Control occurrences and compensation. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's acceptance of and continuance in Executive's employment for the term of this Agreement and the parties' agreement to be bound by the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS 1.01 "BASE SALARY" shall mean regular cash compensation paid on a periodic basis exclusive of benefits, bonuses or incentive payments. 1.02 "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of Parent Corporation. 1.03 "CERIDIAN" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, (a) any Subsidiary (as that term is defined in Section 1.07); and (b) any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise. 1.04 "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean information or material of Ceridian which is not generally available to or used by others, or the utility or value of which is not generally known or recognized as standard practice, whether or not the underlying details are in the public domain, including: (a) information or material relating to Ceridian and its business as conducted or anticipated to be conducted; business plans; operations; past, current or anticipated software, products or services; customers or prospective customers; or 2 research, engineering, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, or marketing activities; (b) information or material relating to Ceridian's inventions, improvements, discoveries, "know-how," technological developments, or unpublished writings or other works of authorship, or to the materials, apparatus, processes, formulae, plans or methods used in the development, manufacture or marketing of Ceridian's software, products or services; (c) information on or material relating to Ceridian which when received is marked as "proprietary," "private," or "confidential;" (d) trade secrets of Ceridian; (e) software of Ceridian in various stages of development, including computer programs in source code and binary code form, software designs, specifications, programming aids (including "library subroutines" and productivity tools), programming languages, interfaces, visual displays, technical documentation, user manuals, data files and databases of Ceridian; and (f) any similar information of the type described above which Ceridian obtained from another party and which Ceridian treats as or designates as being proprietary, private or confidential, whether or not owned or developed by Ceridian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Confidential Information" does not include any information which is properly published or in the public domain; provided, however, that information which is published by or with the aid of Executive outside the scope of employment or contrary to the requirements of this Agreement will not be considered to have been properly published, and therefore will not be in the public domain for purposes of this Agreement. 1.05 "DISABILITY" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his or her duties under this Agreement because of illness or incapacity for a continuous period of six months. 1.06 "PARENT CORPORATION" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise.

This Article shall not apply to a Change of Control Termination which is governed solely by the provisions of Article VII, and does not alter the respective continuing obligations of the parties pursuant to Articles V, VI, and IX. 4.02 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment immediately for cause. For the purpose hereof "cause" means: (a) fraud; (b) misrepresentation; (c) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets; (d) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude; (e) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; and/or (f) the continued failure by Executive to satisfactorily perform his or her duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days after a written demand for such satisfactory performance which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not satisfactorily performed such duties. In the event of termination for cause pursuant to this Section 4.02, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of Executive's annual Base Salary through the date of termination specified in any written notice of termination. 4.03 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Either Executive or Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment without cause on at least 75 days' written notice.

In addition, Executive shall receive the bonus, if any, to which Executive would otherwise have become entitled under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans in effect at the time of termination of this Agreement had Executive remained continuously employed for the full fiscal year in which termination occurred and continued to perform his or her duties in the same manner as they were performed immediately prior to termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which termination occurred and the denominator of which is 12. This bonus amount shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. In addition, Ceridian shall provide or make arrangements for reasonable outplacement services for Executive based on his or her level within Ceridian. (c) In the event that termination occurs pursuant to Section 4.03(b), in addition to the payments specified therein, Ceridian shall pay to Executive an amount equal to one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis, provided Executive executes a release, similar to that attached as Exhibit A, of all claims against Ceridian. 4.04 TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY.

Such amount shall be paid (1) to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing to Ceridian by Executive, (2) in the absence of such designation to the surviving spouse, or (3) if there is no surviving spouse, or such surviving spouse disclaims all or any part, then the full amount, or such disclaimed portion, shall be paid to the executor, administrator or other personal representative of Executive's estate. The amount shall be paid as a lump sum as soon as practicable following Ceridian's receipt of notice of Executive's death. All such payments shall be in addition to any payments due pursuant to Section 4.04(c) below. (b) In the event of Executive's disability, Base Salary shall be terminated as of the end of the month in which the last day of the six-month period of Executive's inability to perform his or her duties occurs. (c) In the event of termination by reason of Executive's death or disability, Ceridian shall pay to Executive any amount equal to (1) the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which termination occurs 6 had "target" goals been achieved, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which the death or disability occurred and the denominator of which is 12. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. 4.05 RETIREMENT. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment as a result of Executive decision to retire from Ceridian.

During the term of employment with Ceridian, Executive will engage in no activity or employment which may conflict with the interest of Ceridian, and will comply with Ceridian's policies and guidelines pertaining to business conduct and ethics. 5.03 DISCLOSURE. Executive will disclose promptly in writing to Ceridian all inventions, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship which are conceived, made, discovered, or written jointly or singly on Ceridian time or on Executive's own time, providing the invention, improvement, discovery, software, writing or other work of authorship is capable of being used by Ceridian in the normal course of business, and all such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship shall belong solely to Ceridian. 7 5.04 INSTRUMENTS OF ASSIGNMENT.

The two immediately preceding sections entitled "Disclosure" and "Instruments of Assignment" do not apply to inventions in which a Ceridian claim of any rights will create a violation of Chapter 181 Minnesota Statutes, Section 181.78, reproduced below and constituting the written notification of its Subdivision 3. 181.78 Agreements; terms relating to inventions Subdivision 1. Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee's rights in an invention to the employer shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or (b) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this state and is to that extent void and unenforceable. Subdivision 2. No employer shall require a provision made void and unenforceable by subdivision 1 as a condition of employment or continuing employment. Subdivision 3. IF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER AUGUST 1, 1977, CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN ANY OF THE EMPLOYEE'S RIGHTS IN ANY INVENTION TO AN 8 EMPLOYER, THE EMPLOYER MUST ALSO, AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT IS MADE, PROVIDE A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO THE EMPLOYEE THAT THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE EMPLOYER WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN TIME, AND (1) WHICH DOES NOT RELATE (a) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER OR (b) TO THE EMPLOYER'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT, OR (2) WHICH DOES NOT RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. 5.06 EXECUTIVE'S DECLARATION. Executive has no inventions, data bases, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship useful to Ceridian in the normal course of business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from this Agreement. 5.07 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article V shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VI NON-COMPETITION, NON-RECRUITMENT, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT 6.01 GENERAL. The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Executive is a senior executive of Ceridian and is a key executive of Ceridian, (b) Executive has received, and will in the future receive, substantial amounts of Confidential Information, (c) Ceridian's business is conducted on a worldwide basis, and (d) provision for non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement obligations by Executive is critical to Ceridian's continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this Article VI sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive's obligations of non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and/or Executive's employment for any reason. 6.02 NON-COMPETITION. (a) Unless the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, Executive agrees that for a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason ("Non-Compete Period"), Executive will not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer, director, shareholder or employee of any other firm or entity, engage in any commercial activity in competition with any part of Ceridian's business as conducted as of the date of such termination of employment or with any part of Ceridian's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has Confidential Information. For purposes of this subsection (a), "shareholder" shall not include 9 beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange. Also for purposes of this subsection (a), "Ceridian's business" shall include business conducted by Ceridian or its affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or its affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that, "affiliate" as used in this sentence shall not include any corporation in which Ceridian has ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting stock. (b) At its sole option Ceridian may, by written notice to Executive at any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time and/or geographic area in which Executive cannot engage in competitive activity. (c) During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which offers competitive products or services, Executive shall give 30 days prior written notice to Ceridian. Such written notice shall describe the firm and the employment or consulting services to be rendered to the firm or entity, and shall include a copy of the written offer of employment or engagement of consulting services. Ceridian's failure to respond or object to such notice shall not in any way constitute acquiescence or waiver of Ceridian's rights under this Article VI. (d) In the event Executive has provided notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and has not accepted employment with or agreed to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity directly as a result of his or her non-competition obligation pursuant to this Section 6.02, Ceridian shall pay Executive an amount equal to the usual rate of Executive's Base Salary in effect at the time of termination on a regular payroll period basis until the end of the Non-Compete Period. There shall be credited against Ceridian's obligation to make such payments any other payments made by Ceridian to Executive pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. In the event that Ceridian elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, to waive all or any portion of the non-competition obligation set forth in subsection (a) hereof, no payment shall be required by Ceridian with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period which has been waived. (e) In the event Executive fails to provide notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and/or in anyway violates its non-competition obligation pursuant to Section 6.02, Ceridian may enforce all of its rights and remedies provided to it under this Agreement, in law and in equity, and Executive shall be deemed to have expressly waived any rights he or she may have had to payments under subsection (d) of this Section 6.02. 6.03 NON-RECRUITMENT. For a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not initiate or actively participate in any other employer's recruitment or hiring of Ceridian employees. This provision shall not preclude Executive 10 from responding to a request (other than by Executive's employer) for a reference with respect to an individual's employment qualifications. 6.04 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or Executive's employment, make disparaging statements, in any form, about Ceridian, its officers, directors, agents, employees, products or services which Executive knows, or has reason to believe, are false or misleading. 6.05 SURVIVAL.

For purposes of this Article VII, the following definitions shall be applied: (a) "BENEFIT PLAN" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for Executive.

(g) "OTHER AGREEMENTS" means any agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into between Executive and Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive. 7.02 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION RIGHT. For a period of two years following a Change of Control that occurred during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall have the right, at any time and within Executive's sole discretion, to terminate employment with Ceridian for Good Reason. Such termination shall be accomplished by, and effective upon, Executive giving written notice to Ceridian of Executive's decision to terminate. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the exercise of said right, all obligations and duties of Executive under this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. 7.03 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION PAYMENT. In the event of a Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall, within five days of such termination, make a lump sum payment to Executive in an amount equal to three times the sum of (a) 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's termination, (b) the bonus, if any, that Executive would have received under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans for the year in which the termination occurs had "superior" goals been achieved, and (c) the annual perquisite cash adder Executive would have received in the year in which the termination occurs. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, Ceridian shall credit Executive with three additional years of age and service under the Ceridian Corporation Retirement Plan. Neither the payments or age and service credits made pursuant to this Section 7.03 nor any other compensation to be provided to Executive by Ceridian pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or Benefit Plan which may be considered Change of Control Compensation shall be subject to any limitation on Change of Control Compensation which may otherwise be expressed in any such agreement or Benefit Plan. 14 7.04 TAX REIMBURSEMENT. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payments or distributions by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any payments required under this Section 7.04) (collectively, the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04(d), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7.04, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ceridian's external auditors (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ceridian and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by Ceridian. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm" hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Ceridian. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7.04, shall be paid by Ceridian to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Ceridian and Executive. (c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made by Ceridian will not have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Ceridian exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.04(d) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive. 15 (d) Executive shall notify Ceridian in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by Ceridian of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise Ceridian of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to Ceridian (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Ceridian notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give Ceridian any information reasonably requested by Ceridian relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Ceridian shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Ceridian; (iii) cooperate with Ceridian in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit Ceridian to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Ceridian shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.04(d), Ceridian shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Ceridian shall determine; provided further, however, that if Ceridian directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Ceridian shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any 16 Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, Ceridian's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. (e) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to Ceridian's complying with the requirements of Section 7.04(d)) promptly pay to Ceridian the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Ceridian does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 7.05 INTEREST. In the event Ceridian does not make timely payment in full of the Change of Control Termination payment described in Section 7.03, Executive shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid amount at the lower of: (a) the prime rate of interest (or such comparable index as may be adopted) established from time to time by the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, New York, New York or its successor in interest; or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. 7.06 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Executive incurs any legal expense to enforce or defend his or her rights under this Article VII of this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach thereof, Executive shall be entitled to recover from Ceridian any expenses for attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred. 7.07 BENEFITS CONTINUATION. In the event of a Change of Control Termination, Executive (and anyone entitled to claim under or through Executive) shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian the same or equivalent health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, life insurance coverages, and all other insurance policies and health and welfare benefits programs, policies or arrangements, at the same levels and coverages as Executive was receiving on the day immediately prior to 17 the Change of Control at a cost not to exceed the amount Executive would continue to pay had he/she continued to be an active employee of Ceridian. To the extent that election of continuation of any of such coverages, programs, policies, or arrangements is made available to employees terminating at age 55 with 15 or more years of service, Executive shall be required to pay no more for continuation than is required of such employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control. If no such continuation program is available, Executive shall be required to pay no more than he/she paid as an active employee, or if provided by Ceridian at no cost to employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, they shall continue to be made available to Executive on this basis. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY STATUS In the event that, prior to a Change of Control: (a) a Subsidiary is sold, merged, contributed, or in any other manner transferred, or if for any reason Parent Corporation's ownership interest in any such Subsidiary falls below the level specified in Section 1.07, (b) Executive's primary employment duties are with the Subsidiary at the time of the occurrence of such event, and (c) Executive does not, in conjunction therewith, transfer employment directly to Parent Corporation or another Subsidiary, then: (1) If Executive gives his or her written consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such Subsidiary, or to the purchaser or new majority interest holder of such Subsidiary, (and such assignment is accepted) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between Executive and the assignee, except that the provisions of Article VII of this Agreement shall become null and void; (2) If such assignment is not accepted by the Subsidiary or purchaser, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by Ceridian without cause pursuant to Section 4.03 of Article IV; and (3) In all other cases, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.02 of Article IV. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.01 NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The parties declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and therefore injunctive relief is appropriate. Therefore, if either party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions 18 hereof, such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law. 9.02 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Parent Corporation and each Subsidiary, whether by way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of Ceridian, and any such successor or assign shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of Ceridian's obligations hereunder. 9.03 NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands given to or made pursuant hereto shall, except as otherwise specified herein, be in writing and be delivered or mailed to any such party at its address: (a) Ceridian Corporation 8100 34th Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425-1640 Attention: Office of General Counsel (b) In the case of Executive shall be: At the address listed on the last page of this Agreement. Either party may, by notice hereunder, designate a changed address. Any notice, if mailed properly addressed, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, shall be deemed dispatched on the registered date or that stamped on the certified mail receipt, and shall be deemed received within the second business day thereafter or when it is actually received, whichever is sooner. 9.04 CAPTIONS. The various headings or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 9.05 GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and any and every legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate courts of the State of Minnesota, each of the parties hereby consenting to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for this purpose. The parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that the implementation of this Governing Law provision is essential in light of the fact that Parent Corporation's corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located within the State of Minnesota, and there is a critical need for uniformity in the interpretation and enforcement of the employment agreements between Ceridian and its senior executives. 19 9.06 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 9.07 WAIVERS. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by any related document or by law. 9.08 MODIFICATION. Any changes or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. 9.09 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto in reference to all the matters herein agreed upon. This Agreement replaces in full all prior employment agreements or understandings of the parties hereto, and any and all such prior agreements or understandings are hereby rescinded by mutual agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written. EXECUTIVE CERIDIAN CORPORATION /s/Stephen B.

EICKHOFF ("EXECUTIVE") DATE: OCTOBER 1, 1999 RECITALS A. Ceridian wishes to obtain the services of Executive for the duration of this Agreement, and Executive wishes to provide his or her services for such period. B. Ceridian desires reasonable protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information (as defined below). C. Ceridian desires assurance that Executive will not compete with Ceridian, engage in recruitment of Ceridian's employees or make disparaging statements about Ceridian after termination of employment, and Executive is willing to refrain from such competition, recruitment and disparagement. D. Executive desires to be assured of a minimum Base Salary (as defined below) from Ceridian for Executive's services for the term of this Agreement (unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). E. It is expressly recognized by the parties that Executive's acceptance of, and continuance in, Executive's position with Ceridian and agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement represents a substantial commitment to Ceridian in terms of Executive's personal and professional career and a foregoing of present and future career options by Executive, for all of which Ceridian receives substantial value. F. The parties recognize that a Change of Control (as defined below) may result in material alteration or diminishment of Executive's position and responsibilities and substantially 1 frustrate the purpose of Executive's commitment to Ceridian and forebearance of career options. G. The parties recognize that in light of the above-described commitment and forebearance of career options, it is essential that, for the benefit of Ceridian and its stockholders, provision be made for a Change of Control Termination (as defined below) in order to enable Executive to accept and effectively continue in Executive's position in the face of inherently disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change of Control of the Parent Corporation (as defined below), although no such change is now contemplated or foreseen.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's acceptance of and continuance in Executive's employment for the term of this Agreement and the parties' agreement to be bound by the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS 1.01 "BASE SALARY" shall mean regular cash compensation paid on a periodic basis exclusive of benefits, bonuses or incentive payments. 1.02 "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of Parent Corporation. 1.03 "CERIDIAN" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, (a) any Subsidiary (as that term is defined in Section 1.07); and (b) any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise. 1.04 "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean information or material of Ceridian which is not generally available to or used by others, or the utility or value of which is not generally known or recognized as standard practice, whether or not the underlying details are in the public domain, including: (a) information or material relating to Ceridian and its business as conducted or anticipated to be conducted; business plans; operations; past, current or anticipated software, products or services; customers or prospective customers; or 2 research, engineering, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, or marketing activities; (b) information or material relating to Ceridian's inventions, improvements, discoveries, "know-how," technological developments, or unpublished writings or other works of authorship, or to the materials, apparatus, processes, formulae, plans or methods used in the development, manufacture or marketing of Ceridian's software, products or services; (c) information on or material relating to Ceridian which when received is marked as "proprietary," "private," or "confidential;" (d) trade secrets of Ceridian; (e) software of Ceridian in various stages of development, including computer programs in source code and binary code form, software designs, specifications, programming aids (including "library subroutines" and productivity tools), programming languages, interfaces, visual displays, technical documentation, user manuals, data files and databases of Ceridian; and (f) any similar information of the type described above which Ceridian obtained from another party and which Ceridian treats as or designates as being proprietary, private or confidential, whether or not owned or developed by Ceridian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Confidential Information" does not include any information which is properly published or in the public domain; provided, however, that information which is published by or with the aid of Executive outside the scope of employment or contrary to the requirements of this Agreement will not be considered to have been properly published, and therefore will not be in the public domain for purposes of this Agreement. 1.05 "DISABILITY" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his or her duties under this Agreement because of illness or incapacity for a continuous period of six months. 1.06 "PARENT CORPORATION" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise.

This Article shall not apply to a Change of Control Termination which is governed solely by the provisions of Article VII, and does not alter the respective continuing obligations of the parties pursuant to Articles V, VI, and IX. 4.02 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment immediately for cause. For the purpose hereof "cause" means: (a) fraud; (b) misrepresentation; (c) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets; (d) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude; (e) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; and/or (f) the continued failure by Executive to attempt in good faith to perform his or her duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days after a written demand for such performance which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not attempted in good faith to perform such duties. In the event of termination for cause pursuant to this Section 4.02, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of Executive's annual Base Salary through the date of termination specified in any written notice of termination. 4.03 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Either Executive or Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment without cause on at least 75 days' written notice. In the event of termination of this Agreement and of Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4.03, compensation shall be paid as follows: (a) if the notice of termination is given by Executive, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period; (b) if the notice of termination is given by Ceridian, (1) Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period, however, Ceridian shall have the option of making termination of the Agreement and Executive's employment effective immediately upon notice in which case Executive shall be paid a lump sum representing the value of 75 days worth of salary; and (2) Executive shall receive, starting within 15 days after the end of the 5 75 day notice period, one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis. In addition, Executive shall receive the bonus, if any, to which Executive would otherwise have become entitled under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans in effect at the time of termination of this Agreement had Executive remained continuously employed for the full fiscal year in which termination occurred and continued to perform his or her duties in the same manner as they were performed immediately prior to termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which termination occurred and the denominator of which is 12. This bonus amount shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. In addition, Ceridian shall provide or make arrangements for reasonable outplacement services for Executive based on his or her level within Ceridian. (c) In the event that termination occurs pursuant to Section 4.03(b), in addition to the payments specified therein, Ceridian shall pay to Executive an amount equal to one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis, provided Executive executes a release, similar to that attached as Exhibit A, of all claims against Ceridian. 4.04 TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement shall terminate in the event of death or disability of Executive. (a) In the event of Executive's death, Ceridian shall pay an amount equal to 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's death plus the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which the death occurs had "target" goals been achieved. Such amount shall be paid (1) to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing to Ceridian by Executive, (2) in the absence of such designation to the surviving spouse, or (3) if there is no surviving spouse, or such surviving spouse disclaims all or any part, then the full amount, or such disclaimed portion, shall be paid to the executor, administrator or other personal representative of Executive's estate. The amount shall be paid as a lump sum as soon as practicable following Ceridian's receipt of notice of Executive's death. All such payments shall be in addition to any payments due pursuant to Section 4.04(c) below. (b) In the event of Executive's disability, Base Salary shall be terminated as of the end of the month in which the last day of the six-month period of Executive's inability to perform his or her duties occurs. (c) In the event of termination by reason of Executive's death or disability, Ceridian shall pay to Executive any amount equal to (1) the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which termination occurs 6 had "target" goals been achieved, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which the death or disability occurred and the denominator of which is 12. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. 4.05 RETIREMENT. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment as a result of Executive decision to retire from Ceridian. Executive shall provide Ceridian with at least 75 days' written notice of the date upon which Executive intends to retire. Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the date of retirement stipulated in the written notice. 4.06 PENSION SUPPLEMENT. If Ceridian terminates Executive's employment without cause prior to Executive's 65th birthday, Ceridian shall provide to Executive, out of its general assets, a monthly supplemental retirement benefit in an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the difference, if any between: (a) the monthly benefit to which Executive would have been entitled under the defined benefit pension plan or plans in which he or she participated immediately prior to his or her termination of employment if the amount of payment to which Executive is entitled under Section 4.03(b)(2) were taken into account for purposes of determining his or her "final average pay" or similar term (as then defined under the terms of such plan or plans) for either (1) the year in which Executive's termination of employment occurred; or (2) the prior full year, whichever provides the highest total final average pay; and (b) the amount to which Executive is, in fact, entitled under such plan or plans. The benefit calculated under this Section 4.06 shall be paid at the same time and in the same form as the benefit under the plans with respect to which such calculation is made. 4.07 ENTIRE TERMINATION PAYMENT. The compensation provided for in this Article IV for early termination of this Agreement and termination pursuant to this Article IV shall constitute Executive's sole remedy for such termination. Executive shall not be entitled to any other termination or severance payment which may be payable to Executive under any other agreement between Executive and Ceridian. ARTICLE V CONFIDENTIALITY, DISCLOSURE AND ASSIGNMENT 5.01 CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or his/her employment, publish, disclose, or utilize in any 7 manner any Confidential Information obtained while employed by Ceridian. If Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Executive will not, without Ceridian's prior written consent, retain or take away any drawing, writing or other record in any form containing any Confidential Information. 5.02 BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS. During the term of employment with Ceridian, Executive will engage in no activity or employment which may conflict with the interest of Ceridian, and will comply with Ceridian's policies and guidelines pertaining to business conduct and ethics. 5.03 DISCLOSURE. Executive will disclose promptly in writing to Ceridian all inventions, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship which are conceived, made, discovered, or written jointly or singly on Ceridian time or on Executive's own time, providing the invention, improvement, discovery, software, writing or other work of authorship is capable of being used by Ceridian in the normal course of business, and all such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship shall belong solely to Ceridian. 5.04 INSTRUMENTS OF ASSIGNMENT. Executive will sign and execute all instruments of assignment and other papers to evidence vestiture of Executive's entire right, title and interest in such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship in Ceridian, at the request and the expense of Ceridian, and Executive will do all acts and sign all instruments of assignment and other papers Ceridian may reasonably request relating to applications for patents, patents, copyrights, and the enforcement and protection thereof. If Executive is needed, at any time, to give testimony, evidence, or opinions in any litigation or proceeding involving any patents or copyrights or applications for patents or copyrights, both domestic and foreign, relating to inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship conceived, developed or reduced to practice by Executive, Executive agrees to do so, and if Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Ceridian shall pay Executive at a rate mutually agreeable to Executive and Ceridian, plus reasonable traveling or other expenses. 5.05 INVENTIONS DEVELOPED ON EXECUTIVE'S OWN TIME. The two immediately preceding sections entitled "Disclosure" and "Instruments of Assignment" do not apply to inventions in which a Ceridian claim of any rights will create a violation of Chapter 181 Minnesota Statutes, Section 181.78, reproduced below and constituting the written notification of its Subdivision 3. 181.78 Agreements; terms relating to inventions Subdivision 1. Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee's rights in an invention to the employer shall not 8 apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or (b) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this state and is to that extent void and unenforceable. Subdivision 2. No employer shall require a provision made void and unenforceable by subdivision 1 as a condition of employment or continuing employment. Subdivision 3. IF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER AUGUST 1, 1977, CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN ANY OF THE EMPLOYEE'S RIGHTS IN ANY INVENTION TO AN EMPLOYER, THE EMPLOYER MUST ALSO, AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT IS MADE, PROVIDE A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO THE EMPLOYEE THAT THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE EMPLOYER WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN TIME, AND (1) WHICH DOES NOT RELATE (a) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER OR (b) TO THE EMPLOYER'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT, OR (2) WHICH DOES NOT RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. 5.06 EXECUTIVE'S DECLARATION. Executive has no inventions, data bases, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship useful to Ceridian in the normal course of business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from this Agreement. 5.07 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article V shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VI NON-COMPETITION, NON-RECRUITMENT, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT 6.01 GENERAL. The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Executive is a senior executive of Ceridian and is a key executive of Ceridian, (b) Executive has received, and will in the future receive, substantial amounts of Confidential Information, (c) Ceridian's business is 9 conducted on a worldwide basis, and (d) provision for non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement obligations by Executive is critical to Ceridian's continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this Article VI sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive's obligations of non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and/or Executive's employment for any reason. 6.02 NON-COMPETITION. (a) Unless the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, Executive agrees that for a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason ("Non-Compete Period"), Executive will not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer, director, shareholder or employee of any other firm or entity, engage in any commercial activity in competition with any part of Ceridian's business as conducted as of the date of such termination of employment or with any part of Ceridian's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has Confidential Information. For purposes of this subsection (a), "shareholder" shall not include beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange. Also for purposes of this subsection (a), "Ceridian's business" shall include business conducted by Ceridian or its affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or its affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that, "affiliate" as used in this sentence shall not include any corporation in which Ceridian has ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting stock. (b) At its sole option Ceridian may, by written notice to Executive at any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time and/or geographic area in which Executive cannot engage in competitive activity. (c) During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which offers competitive products or services, Executive shall give 30 days prior written notice to Ceridian. Such written notice shall describe the firm and the employment or consulting services to be rendered to the firm or entity, and shall include a copy of the written offer of employment or engagement of consulting services. Ceridian's failure to respond or object to such notice shall not in any way constitute acquiescence or waiver of Ceridian's rights under this Article VI. (d) In the event Executive has provided notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and has not accepted employment with or agreed to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity directly as a result of his or her non-competition obligation pursuant to this Section 6.02, Ceridian shall pay Executive an amount equal to the usual rate of Executive's Base Salary in effect at the time 10 of termination on a regular payroll period basis until the end of the Non-Compete Period. There shall be credited against Ceridian's obligation to make such payments any other payments made by Ceridian to Executive pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. In the event that Ceridian elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, to waive all or any portion of the non-competition obligation set forth in subsection (a) hereof, no payment shall be required by Ceridian with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period which has been waived. (e) In the event Executive fails to provide notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and/or in anyway violates its non-competition obligation pursuant to Section 6.02, Ceridian may enforce all of its rights and remedies provided to it under this Agreement, in law and in equity, and Executive shall be deemed to have expressly waived any rights he or she may have had to payments under subsection (d) of this Section 6.02. 6.03 NON-RECRUITMENT. For a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not initiate or actively participate in any other employer's recruitment or hiring of Ceridian employees. This provision shall not preclude Executive from responding to a request (other than by Executive's employer) for a reference with respect to an individual's employment qualifications. 6.04 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or Executive's employment, make disparaging statements, in any form, about Ceridian, its officers, directors, agents, employees, products or services which Executive knows, or has reason to believe, are false or misleading. 6.05 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article VI shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VII CHANGE OF CONTROL 7.01 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article VII, the following definitions shall be applied: (a) "BENEFIT PLAN" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for Executive. (b) "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean any of the following events: 11 (1) a merger or consolidation to which Parent Corporation is a party if the individuals and entities who were stockholders of Parent Corporation immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation have beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power for election of directors of the surviving corporation immediately following the effective date of such merger or consolidation; or (2) the direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in the aggregate of securities of Parent Corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total combined voting power of Parent Corporation's then issued and outstanding securities by any person or entity, or group of associated persons or entities acting in concert; provided, however, that for purposes of hereof, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by Parent Corporation, or (B) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Parent Corporation or any corporation controlled by Parent Corporation; or (3) the sale of the properties and assets of Parent Corporation, substantially as an entirety, to any person or entity which is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Corporation; or (4) the stockholders of Parent Corporation approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation of Parent Corporation; or (5) a change in the composition of the Board at any time during any consecutive 24 month period such that the "Continuity Directors" cease for any reason to constitute at least a seventy percent (70%) majority of the Board. For purposes of this clause, "Continuity Directors" means those members of the Board who either (A) were directors at the beginning of such consecutive 24 month period, or (B) were elected by, or on the nomination or recommendation of, at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the then-existing Board; or (6) such other event or transaction as the Board shall determine constitutes a Change of Control. (c) "CHANGE OF CONTROL COMPENSATION" means any payment or benefit (including any transfer of property) in the nature of compensation, to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement or any Other Agreement or Benefit Plan, which is considered to be contingent on a Change of Control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code. 12 (d) "CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION" means, with respect to Executive, either of the following events occurring within two years after a Change of Control: (1) Termination of Executive's employment by Ceridian for any reason other than (A) fraud, (B) misrepresentation, (C) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets, (D) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude, or (E) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; or (2) Termination of employment with Ceridian by Executive pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Article VII. A Change of Control Termination by Executive shall not, however, include termination by reason of death or Disability. (e) "CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Any reference to a section of the Code shall include the corresponding section of such Code as from time to time amended. (f) "GOOD REASON" means a good faith determination by Executive, in Executive's sole and absolute judgment, that any one or more of the following events has occurred, without Executive's express written consent, after a Change of Control: (1) A change in Executive's reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or any removal of Executive from, or any failure to re-elect Executive to, any of such positions, which has the effect of materially diminishing Executive's responsibility or authority; (2) A reduction by Ceridian in Executive's Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; (3) Ceridian requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within 25 miles of Executive's job location at the time of the Change of Control; (4) Without replacement by plans, programs, or arrangements which, taken as a whole, provide benefits to Executive at least reasonably comparable to those discontinued or adversely affected, (A) the failure by Ceridian to continue in effect, within its maximum stated term, any pension, bonus, incentive, stock ownership, purchase, option, life insurance, health, accident, disability, or any other employee compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement, 13 in which Executive is participating immediately prior to a Change of Control; or (B) the taking of any action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect Executive's participation or materially reduce Executive's benefits under any of such plans, programs or arrangements; (5) The failure by Ceridian to provide office space, furniture, and secretarial support at least comparable to that provided Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control or the taking of any similar action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect the working conditions in or under which Executive performs his or her employment duties; (6) If Executive's primary employment duties are with a Subsidiary, the sale, merger, contribution, transfer or any other transaction in conjunction with which Parent Corporation's ownership interest in such Subsidiary decreases below the level specified in Section 1.07 of Article I unless (A) this Agreement is assigned to the purchaser/transferee with the provisions of Article VII in full force and effect and operative as if a Change of Control has occurred with respect to the purchaser/transferee as Parent Corporation immediately after the purchase/transfer becomes effective, and (B) such purchaser/transferee has a creditworthiness reasonably equivalent to Parent Corporation's; or (7) Any material breach of this Agreement by Ceridian. (g) "OTHER AGREEMENTS" means any agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into between Executive and Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive. 7.02 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION RIGHT. For a period of two years following a Change of Control that occurred during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall have the right, at any time and within Executive's sole discretion, to terminate employment with Ceridian for Good Reason. Such termination shall be accomplished by, and effective upon, Executive giving written notice to Ceridian of Executive's decision to terminate. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the exercise of said right, all obligations and duties of Executive under this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. 7.03 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION PAYMENT. (a) In the event of a Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall, within five days of such termination, 14 make a lump sum payment to Executive in an amount equal to three times the sum of (i) 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's termination, (ii) the bonus, if any, that Executive would have received under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans for the year in which the termination occurs had "superior" goals been achieved, and (iii) the annual perquisite cash adder Executive would have received in the year in which the termination occurs. (b) In addition to the payments made pursuant to Section 7.03(a) hereof, in the event the Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall provide to Executive a pension supplement equivalent to the difference, if any, between: (i) the monthly benefits to which Executive would have been entitled under the defined benefit pension plan or plans in which Executive participates immediately prior to the Change of Control Termination which includes an additional three years of age and service; and (ii) the amount to which Executive is, in fact, entitled under such defined benefit pension plan or plans. (c) Neither the payments made or the pension supplement provided pursuant to this Section 7.03 nor any other compensation to be provided to Executive by Ceridian pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or Benefit Plan which may be considered Change of Control Compensation shall be subject to any limitation on Change of Control Compensation which may otherwise be expressed in any such agreement or Benefit Plan. 7.04 TAX REIMBURSEMENT. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payments or distributions by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any payments required under this Section 7.04) (collectively, the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04(d), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7.04, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is 15 required and the amount such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ceridian's external auditors (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ceridian and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by Ceridian. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm" hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Ceridian. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7.04, shall be paid by Ceridian to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Ceridian and Executive. (c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made by Ceridian will not have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Ceridian exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.04(d) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive. (d) Executive shall notify Ceridian in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority that, if successful, would require the payment by Ceridian of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise Ceridian of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to Ceridian (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Ceridian notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give Ceridian any information reasonably requested by Ceridian relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Ceridian shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including accepting legal representation with respect 16 to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Ceridian; (iii) cooperate with Ceridian in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit Ceridian to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Ceridian shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.04(d), Ceridian shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Ceridian shall determine; provided further, however, that if Ceridian directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Ceridian shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, Ceridian's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. (e) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to Ceridian's complying with the requirements of Section 7.04(d)) promptly pay to Ceridian the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), a determination is made that Executive shall not be 17 entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Ceridian does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 7.05 INTEREST. In the event Ceridian does not make timely payment in full of the Change of Control Termination payment described in Section 7.03, Executive shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid amount at the lower of: (a) the prime rate of interest (or such comparable index as may be adopted) established from time to time by the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, New York, New York or its successor in interest; or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. 7.06 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Executive incurs any legal expense to enforce or defend his or her rights under this Article VII of this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach thereof, Executive shall be entitled to recover from Ceridian any expenses for attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred. 7.07 BENEFITS CONTINUATION. In the event of a Change of Control Termination, Executive (and anyone entitled to claim under or through Executive) shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian the same or equivalent health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, life insurance coverages, and all other insurance policies and health and welfare benefits programs, policies or arrangements, at the same levels and coverages as Executive was receiving on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control at a cost not to exceed the amount Executive would continue to pay had he/she continued to be an active employee of Ceridian. To the extent that election of continuation of any of such coverages, programs, policies, or arrangements is made available to employees terminating at age 55 with 15 or more years of service, Executive shall be required to pay no more for continuation than is required of such employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control. If no such continuation program is available, Executive shall be required to pay no more than he/she paid as an active employee, or if provided by Ceridian at no cost to employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, they shall continue to be made available to Executive on this basis. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY STATUS In the event that, prior to a Change of Control: (a) a Subsidiary is sold, merged, contributed, or in any other manner transferred, or if for any reason Parent Corporation's ownership interest in any such Subsidiary falls below the level specified in Section 1.07, (b) Executive's primary 18 employment duties are with the Subsidiary at the time of the occurrence of such event, and (c) Executive does not, in conjunction therewith, transfer employment directly to Parent Corporation or another Subsidiary, then: (1) If Executive gives his or her written consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such Subsidiary, or to the purchaser or new majority interest holder of such Subsidiary, (and such assignment is accepted) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between Executive and the assignee, except that the provisions of Article VII of this Agreement shall become null and void; (2) If such assignment is not accepted by the Subsidiary or purchaser, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by Ceridian without cause pursuant to Section 4.03 of Article IV; and (3) In all other cases, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.02 of Article IV. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.01 NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The parties declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and therefore injunctive relief is appropriate. Therefore, if either party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions hereof, such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law. 9.02 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Parent Corporation and each Subsidiary, whether by way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of Ceridian, and any such successor or assign shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of Ceridian's obligations hereunder. 9.03 NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands given to or made pursuant hereto shall, except as otherwise specified herein, be in writing and be delivered or mailed to any such party at its address: (a) Ceridian Corporation 8100 34th Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425-1640 19 Attention: Office of General Counsel (b) In the case of Executive shall be: At the address listed on the last page of this Agreement. Either party may, by notice hereunder, designate a changed address. Any notice, if mailed properly addressed, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, shall be deemed dispatched on the registered date or that stamped on the certified mail receipt, and shall be deemed received within the second business day thereafter or when it is actually received, whichever is sooner. 9.04 CAPTIONS. The various headings or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 9.05 GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and any and every legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate courts of the State of Minnesota, each of the parties hereby consenting to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for this purpose. The parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that the implementation of this Governing Law provision is essential in light of the fact that Parent Corporation's corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located within the State of Minnesota, and there is a critical need for uniformity in the interpretation and enforcement of the employment agreements between Ceridian and its senior executives. 9.06 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 9.07 WAIVERS. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by any related document or by law. 9.08 MODIFICATION. Any changes or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. 9.09 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto in reference to all the matters herein agreed upon. This Agreement replaces in full all prior employment agreements or understandings of the 20 parties hereto, and any and all such prior agreements or understandings are hereby rescinded by mutual agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written. EXECUTIVE CERIDIAN CORPORATION /s/J. R.

Executive desires to be assured of a minimum Base Salary (as defined below) from Ceridian for Executive's services for the term of this Agreement (unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of this Agreement). E. It is expressly recognized by the parties that Executive's acceptance of, and continuance in, Executive's position with Ceridian and agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement represents a substantial commitment to Ceridian in terms of Executive's personal and professional career and a foregoing of present and future career options by Executive, for all of which Ceridian receives substantial value. F. The parties recognize that a Change of Control (as defined below) may result in material alteration or diminishment of Executive's position and responsibilities and substantially frustrate the purpose of Executive's commitment to Ceridian and forebearance of career options. G. The parties recognize that in light of the above-described commitment and forebearance of career options, it is essential that, for the benefit of Ceridian and its stockholders, provision be made for a Change of Control Termination (as defined below) in order to enable Executive to accept and effectively continue in Executive's position in the face of inherently disruptive circumstances arising from the possibility of a Change of Control of the Parent Corporation (as defined below), although no such change is now contemplated or foreseen. H. The parties wish to replace any and all prior agreements and undertakings with respect to Executive's employment and Change of Control occurrences and compensation. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Executive's acceptance of and continuance in Executive's employment for the term of this Agreement and the parties' agreement to be bound by the terms contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS 1.01 "BASE SALARY" shall mean regular cash compensation paid on a periodic basis exclusive of benefits, bonuses or incentive payments. 1.02 "BOARD" shall mean the Board of Directors of Parent Corporation. 1.03 "CERIDIAN" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, (a) any Subsidiary (as that term is defined in Section 1.07); and (b) any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise. 1.04 "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION" shall mean information or material of Ceridian which is not generally available to or used by others, or the utility or value of which is not generally known or recognized as standard practice, whether or not the underlying details are in the public domain, including: (a) information or material relating to Ceridian and its business as conducted or anticipated to be conducted; business plans; operations; past, current or anticipated software, products or services; customers or prospective customers; or 2 research, engineering, development, manufacturing, purchasing, accounting, or marketing activities; (b) information or material relating to Ceridian's inventions, improvements, discoveries, "know-how," technological developments, or unpublished writings or other works of authorship, or to the materials, apparatus, processes, formulae, plans or methods used in the development, manufacture or marketing of Ceridian's software, products or services; (c) information on or material relating to Ceridian which when received is marked as "proprietary," "private," or "confidential;" (d) trade secrets of Ceridian; (e) software of Ceridian in various stages of development, including computer programs in source code and binary code form, software designs, specifications, programming aids (including "library subroutines" and productivity tools), programming languages, interfaces, visual displays, technical documentation, user manuals, data files and databases of Ceridian; and (f) any similar information of the type described above which Ceridian obtained from another party and which Ceridian treats as or designates as being proprietary, private or confidential, whether or not owned or developed by Ceridian. Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Confidential Information" does not include any information which is properly published or in the public domain; provided, however, that information which is published by or with the aid of Executive outside the scope of employment or contrary to the requirements of this Agreement will not be considered to have been properly published, and therefore will not be in the public domain for purposes of this Agreement. 1.05 "DISABILITY" shall mean the inability of Executive to perform his or her duties under this Agreement because of illness or incapacity for a continuous period of six months. 1.06 "PARENT CORPORATION" shall mean Ceridian Corporation and, except as otherwise provided in Article VIII and Section 9.02 of Article IX, any successor in interest by way of consolidation, operation of law, merger or otherwise.

Ceridian shall, consistent with its policies in effect from time to time, bear all ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred by Executive in performing his or her duties as an employee of Ceridian, provided that Executive accounts promptly for such expenses to Ceridian in the manner prescribed from time to time by Ceridian. 4 ARTICLE IV EARLY TERMINATION 4.01 EARLY TERMINATION. This Article shall not apply to a Change of Control Termination which is governed solely by the provisions of Article VII, and does not alter the respective continuing obligations of the parties pursuant to Articles V, VI, and IX. 4.02 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment immediately for cause. For the purpose hereof "cause" means: (a) fraud; (b) misrepresentation; (c) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets; (d) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude; (e) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies; and/or (f) the continued failure by Executive to satisfactorily perform his or her duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days after a written demand for such satisfactory performance which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not satisfactorily performed such duties. In the event of termination for cause pursuant to this Section 4.02, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of Executive's annual Base Salary through the date of termination specified in any written notice of termination. 4.03 TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Either Executive or Ceridian may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment without cause on at least 75 days' written notice. In the event of termination of this Agreement and of Executive's employment pursuant to this Section 4.03, compensation shall be paid as follows: (a) if the notice of termination is given by Executive, Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period; (b) if the notice of termination is given by Ceridian, (1) Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the 75 day notice period, however, Ceridian shall have the option of making termination of the Agreement and Executive's employment effective immediately upon notice in which case Executive shall be paid a lump sum representing the value of 75 days worth of salary; and (2) Executive shall receive, starting within 15 days after the end of the 5 75 day notice period, one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis. In addition, Executive shall receive the bonus, if any, to which Executive would otherwise have become entitled under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans in effect at the time of termination of this Agreement had Executive remained continuously employed for the full fiscal year in which termination occurred and continued to perform his or her duties in the same manner as they were performed immediately prior to termination, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which termination occurred and the denominator of which is 12. This bonus amount shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. In addition, Ceridian shall provide or make arrangements for reasonable outplacement services for Executive based on his or her level within Ceridian. (c) In the event that termination occurs pursuant to Section 4.03(b), in addition to the payments specified therein, Ceridian shall pay to Executive an amount equal to one year's Base Salary payable, at the sole discretion of Ceridian, in either the form of a lump sum payment or on a regular payroll period basis, provided Executive executes a release, similar to that attached as Exhibit A, of all claims against Ceridian. 4.04 TERMINATION IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OR DISABILITY. This Agreement and Executive's employment shall terminate in the event of death or disability of Executive. (a) In the event of Executive's death, Ceridian shall pay an amount equal to 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's death plus the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which the death occurs had "target" goals been achieved. Such amount shall be paid (1) to the beneficiary or beneficiaries designated in writing to Ceridian by Executive, (2) in the absence of such designation to the surviving spouse, or (3) if there is no surviving spouse, or such surviving spouse disclaims all or any part, then the full amount, or such disclaimed portion, shall be paid to the executor, administrator or other personal representative of Executive's estate. The amount shall be paid as a lump sum as soon as practicable following Ceridian's receipt of notice of Executive's death. All such payments shall be in addition to any payments due pursuant to Section 4.04(c) below. (b) In the event of Executive's disability, Base Salary shall be terminated as of the end of the month in which the last day of the six-month period of Executive's inability to perform his or her duties occurs. (c) In the event of termination by reason of Executive's death or disability, Ceridian shall pay to Executive any amount equal to (1) the amount Executive would have received in annual incentive plan bonus for the year in which termination occurs 6 had "target" goals been achieved, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of whole months Executive was employed in the year in which the death or disability occurred and the denominator of which is 12. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be paid within 15 days after the date such bonus would have been paid had Executive remained employed for the full fiscal year. 4.05 RETIREMENT. Executive may terminate this Agreement and Executive's employment as a result of Executive decision to retire from Ceridian. Executive shall provide Ceridian with at least 75 days' written notice of the date upon which Executive intends to retire. Executive shall be paid at the usual rate of his or her annual Base Salary through the date of retirement stipulated in the written notice. 4.06 ENTIRE TERMINATION PAYMENT.

Executive shall not be entitled to any other termination or severance payment which may be payable to Executive under any other agreement between Executive and Ceridian. ARTICLE V CONFIDENTIALITY, DISCLOSURE AND ASSIGNMENT 5.01 CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or his/her employment, publish, disclose, or utilize in any manner any Confidential Information obtained while employed by Ceridian. If Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Executive will not, without Ceridian's prior written consent, retain or take away any drawing, writing or other record in any form containing any Confidential Information. 5.02 BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS. During the term of employment with Ceridian, Executive will engage in no activity or employment which may conflict with the interest of Ceridian, and will comply with Ceridian's policies and guidelines pertaining to business conduct and ethics. 5.03 DISCLOSURE. Executive will disclose promptly in writing to Ceridian all inventions, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship which are conceived, made, discovered, or written jointly or singly on Ceridian time or on Executive's own time, providing the invention, improvement, discovery, software, writing or other work of authorship is capable of being used by Ceridian in the normal course of business, and all such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings and other works of authorship shall belong solely to Ceridian. 7 5.04 INSTRUMENTS OF ASSIGNMENT. Executive will sign and execute all instruments of assignment and other papers to evidence vestiture of Executive's entire right, title and interest in such inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship in Ceridian, at the request and the expense of Ceridian, and Executive will do all acts and sign all instruments of assignment and other papers Ceridian may reasonably request relating to applications for patents, patents, copyrights, and the enforcement and protection thereof. If Executive is needed, at any time, to give testimony, evidence, or opinions in any litigation or proceeding involving any patents or copyrights or applications for patents or copyrights, both domestic and foreign, relating to inventions, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship conceived, developed or reduced to practice by Executive, Executive agrees to do so, and if Executive leaves the employ of Ceridian, Ceridian shall pay Executive at a rate mutually agreeable to Executive and Ceridian, plus reasonable traveling or other expenses. 5.05 INVENTIONS DEVELOPED ON EXECUTIVE'S OWN TIME. The two immediately preceding sections entitled "Disclosure" and "Instruments of Assignment" do not apply to inventions in which a Ceridian claim of any rights will create a violation of Chapter 181 Minnesota Statutes, Section 181.78, reproduced below and constituting the written notification of its Subdivision 3. 181.78 Agreements; terms relating to inventions Subdivision 1. Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee's rights in an invention to the employer shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and (1) which does not relate (a) directly to the business of the employer or (b) to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (2) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this state and is to that extent void and unenforceable. Subdivision 2. No employer shall require a provision made void and unenforceable by subdivision 1 as a condition of employment or continuing employment. Subdivision 3. IF AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO AFTER AUGUST 1, 1977, CONTAINS A PROVISION REQUIRING THE EMPLOYEE TO ASSIGN OR OFFER TO ASSIGN ANY OF THE EMPLOYEE'S RIGHTS IN ANY INVENTION TO AN 8 EMPLOYER, THE EMPLOYER MUST ALSO, AT THE TIME THE AGREEMENT IS MADE, PROVIDE A WRITTEN NOTIFICATION TO THE EMPLOYEE THAT THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT APPLY TO AN INVENTION FOR WHICH NO EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, FACILITY OR TRADE SECRET INFORMATION OF THE EMPLOYER WAS USED AND WHICH WAS DEVELOPED ENTIRELY ON THE EMPLOYEE'S OWN TIME, AND (1) WHICH DOES NOT RELATE (a) DIRECTLY TO THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER OR (b) TO THE EMPLOYER'S ACTUAL OR DEMONSTRABLY ANTICIPATED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT, OR (2) WHICH DOES NOT RESULT FROM ANY WORK PERFORMED BY THE EMPLOYEE FOR THE EMPLOYER. 5.06 EXECUTIVE'S DECLARATION. Executive has no inventions, data bases, improvements, discoveries, software, writings or other works of authorship useful to Ceridian in the normal course of business, which were conceived, made or written prior to the date of this Agreement and which are excluded from this Agreement. 5.07 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article V shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VI NON-COMPETITION, NON-RECRUITMENT, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT 6.01 GENERAL. The parties hereto recognize and agree that (a) Executive is a senior executive of Ceridian and is a key executive of Ceridian, (b) Executive has received, and will in the future receive, substantial amounts of Confidential Information, (c) Ceridian's business is conducted on a worldwide basis, and (d) provision for non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement obligations by Executive is critical to Ceridian's continued economic well-being and protection of Ceridian's Confidential Information. In light of these considerations, this Article VI sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive's obligations of non-competition, non-recruitment and non-disparagement subsequent to the termination of this Agreement and/or Executive's employment for any reason. 6.02 NON-COMPETITION. (a) Unless the obligation is waived or limited by Ceridian in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, Executive agrees that for a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason ("Non-Compete Period"), Executive will not directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, officer, director, shareholder or employee of any other firm or entity, engage in any commercial activity in competition with any part of Ceridian's business as conducted as of the date of such termination of employment or with any part of Ceridian's contemplated business with respect to which Executive has Confidential Information. For purposes of this subsection (a), "shareholder" shall not include 9 beneficial ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the combined voting power of all issued and outstanding voting securities of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a major stock exchange. Also for purposes of this subsection (a), "Ceridian's business" shall include business conducted by Ceridian or its affiliates and any partnership or joint venture in which Ceridian or its affiliates is a partner or joint venturer; provided that, "affiliate" as used in this sentence shall not include any corporation in which Ceridian has ownership of less than fifteen percent (15%) of the voting stock. (b) At its sole option Ceridian may, by written notice to Executive at any time within the Non-Compete Period, waive or limit the time and/or geographic area in which Executive cannot engage in competitive activity. (c) During the Non-Compete Period, prior to accepting employment with or agreeing to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity which offers competitive products or services, Executive shall give 30 days prior written notice to Ceridian. Such written notice shall describe the firm and the employment or consulting services to be rendered to the firm or entity, and shall include a copy of the written offer of employment or engagement of consulting services. Ceridian's failure to respond or object to such notice shall not in any way constitute acquiescence or waiver of Ceridian's rights under this Article VI. (d) In the event Executive has provided notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and has not accepted employment with or agreed to provide consulting services to, any firm or entity directly as a result of his or her non-competition obligation pursuant to this Section 6.02, Ceridian shall pay Executive an amount equal to the usual rate of Executive's Base Salary in effect at the time of termination on a regular payroll period basis until the end of the Non-Compete Period. There shall be credited against Ceridian's obligation to make such payments any other payments made by Ceridian to Executive pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. In the event that Ceridian elects, pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6.02, to waive all or any portion of the non-competition obligation set forth in subsection (a) hereof, no payment shall be required by Ceridian with respect to the portion of the Non-Compete Period which has been waived. (e) In the event Executive fails to provide notice to Ceridian pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 6.02 and/or in anyway violates its non-competition obligation pursuant to Section 6.02, Ceridian may enforce all of its rights and remedies provided to it under this Agreement, in law and in equity, and Executive shall be deemed to have expressly waived any rights he or she may have had to payments under subsection (d) of this Section 6.02. 6.03 NON-RECRUITMENT. For a period of two years following termination of employment for any reason, Executive will not initiate or actively participate in any other employer's recruitment or hiring of Ceridian employees. This provision shall not preclude Executive 10 from responding to a request (other than by Executive's employer) for a reference with respect to an individual's employment qualifications. 6.04 NON-DISPARAGEMENT. Executive will not, during the term or after the termination or expiration of this Agreement or Executive's employment, make disparaging statements, in any form, about Ceridian, its officers, directors, agents, employees, products or services which Executive knows, or has reason to believe, are false or misleading. 6.05 SURVIVAL. The obligations of this Article VI shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and Executive's employment. ARTICLE VII CHANGE OF CONTROL 7.01 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article VII, the following definitions shall be applied: (a) "BENEFIT PLAN" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which Executive is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for Executive. (b) "CHANGE OF CONTROL" shall mean any of the following events: (1) a merger or consolidation to which Parent Corporation is a party if the individuals and entities who were stockholders of Parent Corporation immediately prior to the effective date of such merger or consolidation have beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power for election of directors of the surviving corporation immediately following the effective date of such merger or consolidation; or (2) the direct or indirect beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) in the aggregate of securities of Parent Corporation representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total combined voting power of Parent Corporation's then issued and outstanding securities by any person or entity, or group of associated persons or entities acting in concert; provided, however, that for purposes of hereof, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (A) any acquisition by Parent Corporation, or (B) any acquisition by any 11 employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by Parent Corporation or any corporation controlled by Parent Corporation; or (3) the sale of the properties and assets of Parent Corporation, substantially as an entirety, to any person or entity which is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent Corporation; or (4) the stockholders of Parent Corporation approve any plan or proposal for the liquidation of Parent Corporation; or (5) a change in the composition of the Board at any time during any consecutive 24 month period such that the "Continuity Directors" cease for any reason to constitute at least a seventy percent (70%) majority of the Board. For purposes of this clause, "Continuity Directors" means those members of the Board who either (A) were directors at the beginning of such consecutive 24 month period, or (B) were elected by, or on the nomination or recommendation of, at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the then-existing Board; or (6) such other event or transaction as the Board shall determine constitutes a Change of Control. (c) "CHANGE OF CONTROL COMPENSATION" means any payment or benefit (including any transfer of property) in the nature of compensation, to or for the benefit of Executive under this Agreement or any Other Agreement or Benefit Plan, which is considered to be contingent on a Change of Control for purposes of Section 280G of the Code. (d) "CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION" means, with respect to Executive, either of the following events occurring within two years after a Change of Control: (1) Termination of Executive's employment by Ceridian for any reason other than (A) fraud, (B) misrepresentation, (C) theft or embezzlement of Ceridian assets, (D) intentional violations of law involving moral turpitude, (E) failure to follow Ceridian's conduct and ethics policies, or (F) continuing failure by Executive to satisfactorily perform his or her duties as reasonably assigned to Executive pursuant to Section 2.02 of Article II of this Agreement for a period of 60 days after a written demand for such satisfactory performance which specifically identifies the manner in which it is alleged Executive has not satisfactorily performed such duties; or (2) Termination of employment with Ceridian by Executive pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Article VII. 12 A Change of Control Termination by Executive shall not, however, include termination by reason of death or Disability.

(f) "GOOD REASON" means a good faith determination by Executive, in Executive's sole and absolute judgment, that any one or more of the following events has occurred, without Executive's express written consent, after a Change of Control: (1) A change in Executive's reporting responsibilities, titles or offices as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, or any removal of Executive from, or any failure to re-elect Executive to, any of such positions, which has the effect of materially diminishing Executive's responsibility or authority; (2) A reduction by Ceridian in Executive's Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control or as the same may be increased from time to time thereafter; (3) Ceridian requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than within 25 miles of Executive's job location at the time of the Change of Control; (4) Without replacement by plans, programs, or arrangements which, taken as a whole, provide benefits to Executive at least reasonably comparable to those discontinued or adversely affected, (A) the failure by Ceridian to continue in effect, within its maximum stated term, any pension, bonus, incentive, stock ownership, purchase, option, life insurance, health, accident, disability, or any other employee compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement, in which Executive is participating immediately prior to a Change of Control; or (B) the taking of any action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect Executive's participation or materially reduce Executive's benefits under any of such plans, programs or arrangements; (5) The failure by Ceridian to provide office space, furniture, and secretarial support at least comparable to that provided Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control or the taking of any similar action by Ceridian that would materially adversely affect the working conditions in or under which Executive performs his or her employment duties; 13 (6) If Executive's primary employment duties are with a Subsidiary, the sale, merger, contribution, transfer or any other transaction in conjunction with which Parent Corporation's ownership interest in such Subsidiary decreases below the level specified in Section 1.07 of Article I unless (A) this Agreement is assigned to the purchaser/transferee with the provisions of Article VII in full force and effect and operative as if a Change of Control has occurred with respect to the purchaser/transferee as Parent Corporation immediately after the purchase/transfer becomes effective, and (B) such purchaser/transferee has a creditworthiness reasonably equivalent to Parent Corporation's; or (7) Any material breach of this Agreement by Ceridian. (g) "OTHER AGREEMENTS" means any agreement, contract or understanding heretofore or hereafter entered into between Executive and Ceridian for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to Executive. 7.02 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION RIGHT. For a period of two years following a Change of Control that occurred during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall have the right, at any time and within Executive's sole discretion, to terminate employment with Ceridian for Good Reason. Such termination shall be accomplished by, and effective upon, Executive giving written notice to Ceridian of Executive's decision to terminate. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, upon the exercise of said right, all obligations and duties of Executive under this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. 7.03 CHANGE OF CONTROL TERMINATION PAYMENT. In the event of a Change of Control Termination that occurred during the term of this Agreement, then, and without further action by the Board, Compensation Committee or otherwise, Ceridian shall, within five days of such termination, make a lump sum payment to Executive in an amount equal to three times the sum of (a) 12 months of Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time of Executive's termination, (b) the bonus, if any, that Executive would have received under all applicable Ceridian bonus plans for the year in which the termination occurs had "superior" goals been achieved, (c) the annual perquisite cash adder Executive would have received in the year in which the termination occurs, and (d) the highest annual aggregate amount of basic and performance matching contributions made by Ceridian on behalf of Executive into the Ceridian Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (401(k) Plan) over the last three fiscal years prior to termination of Executive. Neither the payments made to Executive pursuant to this Section 7.03 nor any other compensation to be provided to Executive by Ceridian pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement or Benefit Plan which may be considered Change of Control Compensation shall be subject to any limitation on Change of Control Compensation which may otherwise be expressed in any such agreement or Benefit Plan. 14 7.04 TAX REIMBURSEMENT. (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payments or distributions by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any payments required under this Section 7.04) (collectively, the "Payments") would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") in an amount such that, after payment by Executive of all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any income taxes and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04(d), all determinations required to be made under this Section 7.04, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by Ceridian's external auditors (the "Accounting Firm"), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ceridian and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by Ceridian. In the event that the Accounting Firm is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change of Control, Executive shall appoint another nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder (which accounting firm shall then be referred to as the "Accounting Firm" hereunder). All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by Ceridian. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 7.04, shall be paid by Ceridian to Executive within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm's determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon Ceridian and Executive. (c) As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which should have been made by Ceridian will not have been made ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that Ceridian exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 7.04(d) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any additional Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by Ceridian to or for the benefit of Executive. 15 (d) Executive shall notify Ceridian in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by Ceridian of any Gross-Up Payment. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after Executive knows of such claim and shall apprise Ceridian of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to Ceridian (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If Ceridian notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall: (i) give Ceridian any information reasonably requested by Ceridian relating to such claim; (ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as Ceridian shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by Ceridian; (iii) cooperate with Ceridian in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and (iv) permit Ceridian to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that Ceridian shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.04(d), Ceridian shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as Ceridian shall determine; provided further, however, that if Ceridian directs Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, Ceridian shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any 16 Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and provided further that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, Ceridian's control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority. (e) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to Ceridian's complying with the requirements of Section 7.04(d)) promptly pay to Ceridian the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by Ceridian pursuant to Section 7.04(d), a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and Ceridian does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of thirty days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 7.05 INTEREST. In the event Ceridian does not make timely payment in full of the Change of Control Termination payment described in Section 7.03, Executive shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid amount at the lower of: (a) the prime rate of interest (or such comparable index as may be adopted) established from time to time by the Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, New York, New York or its successor in interest; or (b) the maximum rate permitted under Section 280G(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. 7.06 ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event Executive incurs any legal expense to enforce or defend his or her rights under this Article VII of this Agreement, or to recover damages for breach thereof, Executive shall be entitled to recover from Ceridian any expenses for attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred. 7.07 BENEFITS CONTINUATION. In the event of a Change of Control Termination, Executive (and anyone entitled to claim under or through Executive) shall, until age 65, be entitled to receive from Ceridian the same or equivalent health, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, short and long-term disability, life insurance coverages, and all other insurance policies and health and welfare benefits programs, policies or arrangements, at the same levels and coverages as Executive was receiving on the day immediately prior to 17 the Change of Control at a cost not to exceed the amount Executive would continue to pay had he/she continued to be an active employee of Ceridian. To the extent that election of continuation of any of such coverages, programs, policies, or arrangements is made available to employees terminating at age 55 with 15 or more years of service, Executive shall be required to pay no more for continuation than is required of such employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control. If no such continuation program is available, Executive shall be required to pay no more than he/she paid as an active employee, or if provided by Ceridian at no cost to employees on the day immediately prior to the Change of Control, they shall continue to be made available to Executive on this basis. ARTICLE VIII CHANGE OF SUBSIDIARY STATUS In the event that, prior to a Change of Control: (a) a Subsidiary is sold, merged, contributed, or in any other manner transferred, or if for any reason Parent Corporation's ownership interest in any such Subsidiary falls below the level specified in Section 1.07, (b) Executive's primary employment duties are with the Subsidiary at the time of the occurrence of such event, and (c) Executive does not, in conjunction therewith, transfer employment directly to Parent Corporation or another Subsidiary, then: (1) If Executive gives his or her written consent to the assignment of this Agreement to such Subsidiary, or to the purchaser or new majority interest holder of such Subsidiary, (and such assignment is accepted) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between Executive and the assignee, except that the provisions of Article VII of this Agreement shall become null and void; (2) If such assignment is not accepted by the Subsidiary or purchaser, then this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated by Ceridian without cause pursuant to Section 4.03 of Article IV; and (3) In all other cases, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated for cause pursuant to Section 4.02 of Article IV. ARTICLE IX GENERAL PROVISIONS 9.01 NO ADEQUATE REMEDY. The parties declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to either party by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations under this Agreement and therefore injunctive relief is appropriate. Therefore, if either party shall institute any action or proceeding to enforce the provisions 18 hereof, such party against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such party shall not urge in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such party has an adequate remedy at law. 9.02 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided in Article VIII, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Parent Corporation and each Subsidiary, whether by way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of Ceridian, and any such successor or assign shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of Ceridian's obligations hereunder. 9.03 NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands given to or made pursuant hereto shall, except as otherwise specified herein, be in writing and be delivered or mailed to any such party at its address: (a) Ceridian Corporation 8100 34th Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55425-1640 Attention: Office of General Counsel (b) In the case of Executive shall be: At the address listed on the last page of this Agreement. Either party may, by notice hereunder, designate a changed address. Any notice, if mailed properly addressed, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, shall be deemed dispatched on the registered date or that stamped on the certified mail receipt, and shall be deemed received within the second business day thereafter or when it is actually received, whichever is sooner. 9.04 CAPTIONS. The various headings or captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 9.05 GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and any and every legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the appropriate courts of the State of Minnesota, each of the parties hereby consenting to the exclusive jurisdiction of said courts for this purpose. The parties hereto expressly recognize and agree that the implementation of this Governing Law provision is essential in light of the fact that Parent Corporation's corporate headquarters and its principal executive offices are located within the State of Minnesota, and there is a critical need for uniformity in the interpretation and enforcement of the employment agreements between Ceridian and its senior executives. 19 9.06 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 9.07 WAIVERS. No failure on the part of either party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy granted hereby or by any related document or by law. 9.08 MODIFICATION. Any changes or amendments to this Agreement must be in writing and signed by both parties. 9.09 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto in reference to all the matters herein agreed upon. This Agreement replaces in full all prior employment agreements or understandings of the parties hereto, and any and all such prior agreements or understandings are hereby rescinded by mutual agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the day and year first above written. EXECUTIVE CERIDIAN CORPORATION /s/Tony G.

EXECUTIVE CERIDIAN CORPORATION /s/Tony G. Holcombe By: /s/Gary M. Nelson Title: Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary Address: - ------------------ - ------------------ EX-10.08 7 EX-10.08 EXHIBIT 10.08 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (Time-Based Stock Option) THIS AGREEMENT is entered into and effective as of ____________ (the "Date of Grant"), by and between Ceridian Corporation (the "Company") and __________________________ (the "Optionee"). A. The Company has adopted the Ceridian Corporation 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (as may be amended or supplemented, the "Plan") authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company, or a committee as provided for in the Plan (the Board or such a committee to be referred to as the "Committee"), to grant stock options to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Plan). B. The Company desires to give the Optionee an inducement to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company and an added incentive to advance the interests of the Company by granting to the Optionee an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: 1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Company hereby grants to the Optionee the right, privilege and option (the "Option") to purchase shares (the "Option Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.50 par value (the "Common Stock"), according to the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth and as set forth in the Plan. The Option granted hereunder shall not be an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 2. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE. The per share price to be paid by Optionee in the event of an exercise of the Option will be $___________. 3. DURATION OF OPTION AND TIME OF EXERCISE. 3.1 INITIAL PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY. Except as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 hereof, the Option shall become exercisable with respect to one-third of the Option Shares on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Date of Grant. The foregoing rights to exercise the Option will be cumulative with respect to the Option Shares becoming exercisable on each such date, but in no event will the Option be exercisable after, and the Option will become void and expire as to all unexercised Option Shares at, 5:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the "Time of Option Termination"). 3.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. In the event the Optionee's employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death, Disability (as defined in the Plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Option will become immediately exercisable in full and remain exercisable until the Time of Option Termination. (b) TERMINATION FOR REASONS OTHER THAN DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. In the event that the Optionee's employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, or the Optionee is in the employ of a Subsidiary and the Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company (unless the Optionee continues in the employ of the Company or another Subsidiary), all rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement will immediately terminate without notice of any kind, and the Option will no longer be exercisable; provided, however, that, if such termination is due to any reason other than termination by the Company or any Subsidiary for Cause (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement), the Option will remain exercisable to the extent exercisable as of such termination for a period of three months after such termination (but in no event after the Time of Option Termination). 3.3 CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) IMPACT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement) of the Company occurs, and the Option has been outstanding for at least two months, the Option will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable until the Time of Option Termination, regardless of whether the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary. In addition, if a Change in Control of the Company occurs, the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, may determine that the Optionee will receive, with respect to some or all of the Option Shares, as of the effective date of any such Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of such Option Shares immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company over the option exercise price per share of the Option. (b) AUTHORITY TO MODIFY CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS. Prior to a Change of Control, the Optionee will have no rights under this Section 3.3, and the Committee will have the authority, in its sole discretion, to rescind, modify or amend this Section 3.3 without the consent of the Optionee. 4. MANNER OF OPTION EXERCISE. 4.1 NOTICE. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained in the Plan and in this Agreement, by delivery, in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail, to the Company at its principal executive office in Minneapolis, Minnesota (Attention: Corporate Treasury), of a written notice of exercise. Such notice must be in a form satisfactory to the Committee, must identify the Option, must specify the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and must be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the total exercise price for the Option Shares to be purchased. In the event that the Option is being exercised, as provided by the Plan and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, by any person or persons other than the Optionee, the notice must be accompanied by appropriate proof of right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. If the Optionee retains the Option Shares purchased, as soon as practicable after the effective exercise of the Option, the Optionee will be recorded on the stock transfer books of the 2 Company as the owner of the Option Shares purchased, and the Company will deliver to the Optionee one or more duly issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership. 4.2 PAYMENT. At the time of exercise of the Option, the Optionee must pay the total exercise price of the Option Shares to be purchased entirely in cash (including a check, bank draft or money order, payable to the order of the Company); provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, may allow such payment to be made, in whole or in part, by tender of a full recourse promissory note, a Broker Exercise Notice or Previously Acquired Shares (as such terms are defined in the Plan), or by a combination of such methods. In the event the Optionee is permitted to pay the total purchase price of the Option in whole or in part with Previously Acquired Shares, the value of such shares will be equal to their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option and delivery of any such Previously Acquired Shares may be made through delivery of a written attestation of ownership if permitted by the Committee. 5. RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS OF OPTIONEE; TRANSFERABILITY. 5.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time, nor confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary at any particular position or rate of pay or for any particular period of time. 5.2 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. The Optionee will have no rights as a stockholder unless and until all conditions to the effective exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 6 of this Agreement) have been satisfied and the Optionee has become the holder of record of such shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions with respect to the Option Shares as to which there is a record date preceding the date the Optionee becomes the holder of record of such Option Shares, except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan or determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 5.3 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan, no right or interest of the Optionee in the Option prior to exercise may be assigned or transferred, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Optionee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. The Optionee will, however, be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive the Option upon such Optionee's death in the manner provided by the Plan, and, in the event of the Optionee's death, exercise of the Option (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of this Agreement) may be made by the Optionee's designated beneficiary. 5.4 RESTRICTIONS REGARDING EMPLOYMENT. (a) The Optionee agrees that he or she will not take any Adverse Actions (as defined below) against the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the period that the Option is or may yet become exercisable in whole or in part or at any time before one year following the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, whichever is later (the "Restricted Period"). The Optionee acknowledges that damages which may arise from a breach of this Section 5.4 may be impossible to ascertain or prove with certainty. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion that the Optionee has taken Adverse Actions against the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the Restricted Period, in addition to other legal remedies which may be available, (i) the Company will be entitled to an immediate 3 injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction to end such Adverse Action, without further proof of damage, (ii) the Committee will have the authority in its sole discretion to terminate immediately all rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement without notice of any kind, and (iii) the Committee will have the authority in its sole discretion to rescind the exercise of all or any portion of the Option to the extent that such exercise occurred within six months prior to the date the Optionee first commences any such Adverse Actions and require the Optionee to disgorge any profits (however defined by the Committee) realized by the Optionee relating to such exercised portion of the Option or any Option Shares issued or issuable upon such exercise. Such disgorged profits paid to the Company must be made in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or, with the Committee's consent, shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of such payment. The Company will be entitled to withhold and deduct from future wages of the Optionee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Optionee from the Company or a Subsidiary) or make other arrangements for the collection of all amounts necessary to satisfy such payment obligation. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, an "Adverse Action" will mean any of the following: (i) engaging in any commercial activity in competition with any part of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary as conducted during the Restricted Period for which the Optionee has or had access to trade secrets and/or confidential information; (ii) diverting or attempting to divert from the Company or any Subsidiary any business of any kind, including, without limitation, interference with any business relationships with suppliers, customers, licensees, licensors, clients or contractors; (iii) making, or causing or attempting to cause any other person or entity to make, any statement, either written or oral, or convey any information about the Company or any Subsidiary that is disparaging or that in any way reflects negatively on the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) engaging in any other activity that is hostile, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, influencing or advising any person who is employed by or in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave such employment or service to compete with the Company or any Subsidiary or to enter into the employment or service of any actual or prospective competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary, influencing or advising any competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary to employ to otherwise engage the services of any person who is employed by or in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or improperly disclosing or otherwise misusing any trade secrets or confidential information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary. (c) Should any provision of this Section 5.4 of the Agreement be held invalid or illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this Section 5.4 of the Agreement, but, rather, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the illegal part or narrowed to permit its enforcement, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Optionee expressly agrees that should the duration of or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered. The Optionee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. This Section 5.4 of the Agreement does not replace and is in addition to any other agreements the Optionee may have with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the matters addressed herein. 4 6. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Company will not be required to issue, and the Optionee may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any Option Shares, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to the Option Shares a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or an exemption from such registration, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing Option Shares, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions. 7. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Optionee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Optionee from the Company), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to the Option, including, without limitation, the grant or exercise of the Option or a disqualifying disposition of any Option Shares, or (b) require the Optionee promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before acting on the Optionee's notice of exercise of the Option. In the event that the Company is unable to withhold such amounts, for whatever reason, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under federal, state or local law. 8. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off), or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Optionee, will make appropriate adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) subject to, and the exercise price of, the Option. 9. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following additional definitions will apply: (a) "Benefit Plan" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Optionee. (b) "Cause" will have the meaning set forth in any employment or other agreement or policy applicable to the Optionee or, if no such agreement or policy exists, will mean (i) dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation, theft, embezzlement or injury or attempted injury, in 5 each case related to the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) any unlawful or criminal activity of a serious nature, (iii) any breach of duty, habitual neglect of duty or unreasonable job performance, or (iv) any material breach of any employment, service, confidentiality or noncompete agreement entered into with the Company or any Subsidiary. (c) "Change of Control" will have the meaning set forth in the Plan plus such other event or transaction as the Board shall determine constitutes a Change of Control, or such other meaning as may be adopted by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion. 10. SUBJECT TO PLAN. The Option and the Option Shares granted and issued pursuant to this Agreement have been granted and issued under, and are subject to the terms of, the Plan. The terms of the Plan are incorporated by reference in this Agreement in their entirety, and the Optionee, by execution of this Agreement, acknowledges having received a copy of the Plan. The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted as to be consistent with the Plan, and any ambiguities in this Agreement will be interpreted by reference to the Plan. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will prevail. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 11.1 BINDING EFFECT.

(c) The foregoing rights to exercise the Option will be cumulative with respect to the Option Shares becoming exercisable on such dates set forth in this Section 3.1, but in no event will the Option be exercisable after, and the Option will become void and expire as to all unexercised Option Shares at, 5:00 p.m. (Minneapolis time) on tenth anniversary of the Date of Grant (the "Time of Option Termination"). 3.2 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. (a) TERMINATION DUE TO DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. In the event the Optionee's employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of death, Disability (as defined in the Plan) or Retirement (as defined in the Plan), the Option will become immediately exercisable in full with respect to all of the Time-Based Option Shares, and will become immediately exercisable in full with respect to all of the Performance-Based Option Shares if the stock price performance condition specified in Section 3.1(b)(i) of this Agreement was satisfied prior to the date of such termination. To the extent this Option is already exercisable at the time your employment terminates due to death, Disability or Retirement, or becomes exercisable as provided in this Section 3.2(a), the Option will remain exercisable until the Time of Option Termination. To the extent the stock price performance condition specified in Section 3.1(b)(i) of this Agreement was not satisfied prior to the date of termination by reason of death, Disability or Retirement, the Performance-Based Option Shares shall no longer be exercisable. (b) TERMINATION FOR REASONS OTHER THAN DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT. In the event that the Optionee's employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, or the Optionee is in the employ of a Subsidiary and the Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company (unless the Optionee continues in the employ of the Company or another Subsidiary), all rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement will immediately terminate without notice of any kind, and the Option will no longer be exercisable; provided, however, that, if such termination is due to any reason other than termination by the Company or any Subsidiary for Cause (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement), the Option will remain exercisable to the extent exercisable as of such termination for a period of three months after such termination (but in no event after the Time of Option Termination). 3.3 CHANGE IN CONTROL. (a) IMPACT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL. If a Change in Control (as defined in Section 9 of this Agreement) of the Company occurs, and the Option has been outstanding for at least two months, the Option will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable until the Time of Option Termination, regardless of whether the Optionee remains in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, except that such accelerated exercisability shall be available with respect to the Performance-Based Option Shares only if the stock price performance condition specified in Section 3.1(b)(i) of this Agreement was satisfied prior to the date of the 2 Change of Control. In addition, if a Change in Control of the Company occurs, the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Optionee, may determine that the Optionee will receive, with respect to some or all of the Option Shares, as of the effective date of any such Change in Control of the Company, cash in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of such Option Shares immediately prior to the effective date of such Change in Control of the Company over the option exercise price per share of the Option. (b) AUTHORITY TO MODIFY CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS. Prior to a Change of Control, the Optionee will have no rights under this Section 3.3, and the Committee will have the authority, in its sole discretion, to rescind, modify or amend this Section 3.3 without the consent of the Optionee. 4. MANNER OF OPTION EXERCISE. 4.1 NOTICE. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee in whole or in part from time to time, subject to the conditions contained in the Plan and in this Agreement, by delivery, in person, by facsimile or electronic transmission or through the mail, to the Company at its principal executive office in Minneapolis, Minnesota (Attention: Corporate Treasury), of a written notice of exercise. Such notice must be in a form satisfactory to the Committee, must identify the Option, must specify the number of Option Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and must be signed by the person or persons so exercising the Option. Such notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the total exercise price for the Option Shares to be purchased. In the event that the Option is being exercised, as provided by the Plan and Section 3.2 of this Agreement, by any person or persons other than the Optionee, the notice must be accompanied by appropriate proof of right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. If the Optionee retains the Option Shares purchased, as soon as practicable after the effective exercise of the Option, the Optionee will be recorded on the stock transfer books of the Company as the owner of the Option Shares purchased, and the Company will deliver to the Optionee one or more duly issued stock certificates evidencing such ownership. 4.2 PAYMENT. At the time of exercise of the Option, the Optionee must pay the total exercise price of the Option Shares to be purchased entirely in cash (including a check, bank draft or money order, payable to the order of the Company); provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole discretion and upon terms and conditions established by the Committee, may allow such payment to be made, in whole or in part, by tender of a full recourse promissory note, a Broker Exercise Notice or Previously Acquired Shares (as such terms are defined in the Plan), or by a combination of such methods. In the event the Optionee is permitted to pay the total purchase price of the Option in whole or in part with Previously Acquired Shares, the value of such shares will be equal to their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option and delivery of any such Previously Acquired Shares may be made through delivery of a written attestation of ownership if permitted by the Committee. 5. RIGHTS AND RESTRICTIONS OF OPTIONEE; TRANSFERABILITY. 5.1 EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of the Optionee at any time, nor confer upon the Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary at any particular position or rate of pay or for any particular period of time. 5.2 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. The Optionee will have no rights as a stockholder unless and until all conditions to the effective exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Sections 4 and 6 of this Agreement) have been satisfied and the Optionee has become the 3 holder of record of such shares. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions with respect to the Option Shares as to which there is a record date preceding the date the Optionee becomes the holder of record of such Option Shares, except as may otherwise be provided in the Plan or determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 5.3 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. Except pursuant to testamentary will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Plan, no right or interest of the Optionee in the Option prior to exercise may be assigned or transferred, or subjected to any lien, during the lifetime of the Optionee, either voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise. The Optionee will, however, be entitled to designate a beneficiary to receive the Option upon such Optionee's death in the manner provided by the Plan, and, in the event of the Optionee's death, exercise of the Option (to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of this Agreement) may be made by the Optionee's designated beneficiary. 5.4 RESTRICTIONS REGARDING EMPLOYMENT. (a) The Optionee agrees that he or she will not take any Adverse Actions (as defined below) against the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the period that the Option is or may yet become exercisable in whole or in part or at any time before one year following the Optionee's termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, whichever is later (the "Restricted Period"). The Optionee acknowledges that damages which may arise from a breach of this Section 5.4 may be impossible to ascertain or prove with certainty. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, in the event that the Company determines in its sole discretion that the Optionee has taken Adverse Actions against the Company or any Subsidiary at any time during the Restricted Period, in addition to other legal remedies which may be available, (i) the Company will be entitled to an immediate injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction to end such Adverse Action, without further proof of damage, (ii) the Committee will have the authority in its sole discretion to terminate immediately all rights of the Optionee under the Plan and this Agreement without notice of any kind, and (iii) the Committee will have the authority in its sole discretion to rescind the exercise of all or any portion of the Option to the extent that such exercise occurred within six months prior to the date the Optionee first commences any such Adverse Actions and require the Optionee to disgorge any profits (however defined by the Committee) realized by the Optionee relating to such exercised portion of the Option or any Option Shares issued or issuable upon such exercise. Such disgorged profits paid to the Company must be made in cash (including check, bank draft or money order) or, with the Committee's consent, shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the amount of such payment. The Company will be entitled to withhold and deduct from future wages of the Optionee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Optionee from the Company or a Subsidiary) or make other arrangements for the collection of all amounts necessary to satisfy such payment obligation. (b) For purposes of this Agreement, an "Adverse Action" will mean any of the following: (i) engaging in any commercial activity in competition with any part of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary as conducted during the Restricted Period for which the Optionee has or had access to trade secrets and/or confidential information; (ii) diverting or attempting to divert from the Company or any Subsidiary any business of any kind, including, without limitation, interference with any business relationships with suppliers, customers, licensees, licensors, clients or contractors; (iii) making, or causing or attempting to cause any other person or entity to make, any statement, either written or oral, or convey any information 4 about the Company or any Subsidiary that is disparaging or that in any way reflects negatively on the Company or any Subsidiary; or (iv) engaging in any other activity that is hostile, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, influencing or advising any person who is employed by or in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary to leave such employment or service to compete with the Company or any Subsidiary or to enter into the employment or service of any actual or prospective competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary, influencing or advising any competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary to employ to otherwise engage the services of any person who is employed by or in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary, or improperly disclosing or otherwise misusing any trade secrets or confidential information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary. (c) Should any provision of this Section 5.4 of the Agreement be held invalid or illegal, such illegality shall not invalidate the whole of this Section 5.4 of the Agreement, but, rather, the Agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the illegal part or narrowed to permit its enforcement, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Optionee expressly agrees that should the duration of or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid or enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent or activities that may validly or enforceably be covered. The Optionee acknowledges the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulates that this Agreement shall be construed in a manner that renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law. This Section 5.4 of the Agreement does not replace and is in addition to any other agreements the Optionee may have with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on the matters addressed herein. 6. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, the Company will not be required to issue, and the Optionee may not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any Option Shares, unless (a) there is in effect with respect to the Option Shares a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or an exemption from such registration, and (b) there has been obtained any other consent, approval or permit from any other regulatory body which the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable. The Company may condition such issuance, sale or transfer upon the receipt of any representations or agreements from the parties involved, and the placement of any legends on certificates representing Option Shares, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Company in order to comply with such securities law or other restrictions. 7. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Optionee (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to the Optionee from the Company), or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any federal, state or local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to the Option, including, without limitation, the grant or exercise of the Option or a disqualifying disposition of any Option Shares, or (b) require the Optionee promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before acting on the Optionee's notice of exercise of the Option. In the event that the Company is unable to withhold such amounts, for whatever reason, the Optionee agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the amount the Company would otherwise be required to withhold under federal, state or local law. 5 8. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off), or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the Committee (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation), in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of the Optionee, will make appropriate adjustment (which determination will be conclusive) as to the number and kind of securities or other property (including cash) subject to, and the exercise price of, the Option. 9. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement, the following additional definitions will apply: (a) "Benefit Plan" means any formal or informal plan, program or other arrangement heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company or any Subsidiary for the direct or indirect provision of compensation to the Optionee (including groups or classes of participants or beneficiaries of which the Optionee is a member), whether or not such compensation is deferred, is in the form of cash or other property or rights, or is in the form of a benefit to or for the Optionee. (b) "Cause" will have the meaning set forth in any employment or other agreement or policy applicable to the Optionee or, if no such agreement or policy exists, will mean (i) dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation, theft, embezzlement or injury or attempted injury, in each case related to the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) any unlawful or criminal activity of a serious nature, (iii) any breach of duty, habitual neglect of duty or unreasonable job performance, or (iv) any material breach of any employment, service, confidentiality or noncompete agreement entered into with the Company or any Subsidiary.

For purposes of calculating Total Return to Shareholders for the Company or any other S&P 500 Company, the assumed initial investment in such company's common stock on October 20, 1999 shall be at the applicable Starting Price, and the value of a share of such company's common stock at the end of the Performance Period shall be the applicable Ending Price. 10.

All share and per share figures reflect a stock split announced on January 20, 1999 for holders of record on February 10, 1999 and distributed in the form of a 100% stock dividend on February 26, 1999. Net earnings include earnings from discontinued operations of $25.4 million, or $.18 per diluted share in 1998 and $437.0 million, or $2.74 per diluted share in 1997, representing the gain from the sale and results of operations of Computing Devices International ("CDI"), which was sold on December 31, 1997. The comparison of Ceridian's earnings from continuing operations is significantly affected by a number of unusual events. In 1998, Ceridian recognized unusual gains of $24.3 million in the fourth quarter consisting of a tax benefit of $18.5 million related to the difference between the tax and financial reporting basis in a subsidiary sold in that quarter and a gain of $5.8 million ($9.2 million before tax) primarily from the sale of land not used in the business. In 1997, Ceridian recognized a $175.0 million tax benefit from Ceridian's fourth quarter recognition under FAS 109 of the future tax benefits of its net operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions. Also in 1997, Ceridian incurred unusual charges of $144.6 million in the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of asset write-offs; $150.0 million in the third quarter, due to the termination of a payroll software development project; and $13.0 million in the first quarter, due to settlement of certain litigation. These unusual gains and losses are further described in Note B, SUPPLEMENTARY DATA TO STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS, and Note D, INCOME TAXES, to the consolidated financial statements. In an effort to facilitate comparisons between earnings from continuing operations, Ceridian has utilized certain pro forma adjustments to calculate revised earnings figures for its continuing operations for 1998 and 1997. The most significant of these pro forma adjustments include (i) eliminating the 1998 and 1997 unusual events described above, (ii) tax effecting 1997 pre-tax earnings at an assumed rate of 37% and (iii) assuming that CDI was sold at the beginning of 1997 for net proceeds approximately equal to the difference between CDI's revenue for that year and the approximately $100 million of CDI cash in Canada, and that those net proceeds were invested at 5.5% per annum. In the calculation of cash earnings per share, cash earnings are determined by adding back to net earnings the amount of amortization expense for the period, net of income taxes, that relates to values assigned to goodwill and other intangibles arising from the acquisition of businesses. Then cash earnings are divided by diluted shares outstanding for that period. Ceridian refers to cash earnings per share because some commentators have suggested that investors may find such a measurement useful in assessing operating performance, particularly for services companies that utilize the purchase method of recording acquisitions. Cash earnings per share does not represent a measure of cash flow from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. Cash earnings per share should not be considered a substitute either for earnings per share as an indicator of Ceridian's operating performance or for cash flow as a measure of Ceridian's liquidity.

Net earnings for 1999 were $148.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, on revenue of $1,342.3 million. Cash earnings per share during 1999 were $1.23. 1998 pro forma earnings were $140.1 million, or $ .95 per diluted share, on revenue of $1,162.1 million and 1998 pro forma cash earnings per share were $1.06. On January 25, 2000, Ceridian announced that it will be taking certain actions to improve customer service and the quality of operations in the U.S. payroll business. As a result of some of these actions, Ceridian expects to take $35 million to $50 million of special charges during the first quarter of 2000. Earnings per share in 2000, without regard to these charges, are expected be flat to modestly up as compared to 1999, a year in which Ceridian reported net earnings of $148.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share. These results include the acquisition of ABR Information Services, Inc. ("ABR"), now known as Ceridian Benefits Services, which was dilutive to earnings since June 1999. Further information about this acquisition appears below and in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, particularly Note J, INVESTING ACTIVITY. CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Each of Ceridian's business segments reported increased revenue and earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"). Revenue growth from acquisitions more than offset the effect of business dispositions, and the net revenue growth from these activities contributed about two-thirds of the total revenue increase. Lower than expected customer retention in the U.S. payroll and certain other human resources businesses and lower yields on tax filing balances adversely affected the revenue comparison. Costs directly related to revenue increased somewhat less than revenue, largely as a result of the integration of acquired businesses into existing operations. Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") increased, due principally to the acquisitions of ABR in June 1999 and LifeWorks (the work-life services business of Work/Family Directions, Inc.) in November 1998. Research and development ("R&D") decreased in total and as a percentage of revenue as a result of the disposition of Resumix in August 1998 and declining expenditures on Year 2000 remediation of Ceridian's internal systems beginning in the third quarter of 1999. Interest income fell from $10.4 million to $6.4 million as a result of lower cash balances. Interest expense increased from $4.3 million to $24.7 million as a result of the debt incurred for the ABR acquisition in June 1999. Including the pro forma adjustments to 1998 results described above, the effective rate for the income tax provision increased from 36.5% to 37.5%, due to the non-deductibility of goodwill arising from the ABR acquisition.

HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES ("HRS") The revenue contributions of businesses acquired during 1999 and 1998, notably the LifeWorks work-life services business in November 1998 and ABR in June 1999, more than offset the revenue loss from the dispositions of Resumix in August 1998 and Tesseract at the end of 1998. These acquisitions and the acquisitions of two Canadian payroll businesses during the first quarter of 1998, net of the dispositions, contributed about two-thirds of the revenue increase. The increase in revenue was adversely affected by the decisions of certain large customers to delay payroll system installations as a result of the Year 2000 event. Lower yields on tax filing balances and lower than expected customer retention in the U.S. payroll and certain other human resources businesses, along with the effect of exchange rate changes on the Canadian dollar, adversely affected revenue growth. Increases in sales of software, payroll services, consulting services and employee assistance programs contributed to the revenue increase as did price increases in payroll services early in 1999 and 1998. In consideration of its customer retention goals for 2000, Ceridian expects to forego any across-the-board U.S. payroll services price increase in 2000. Costs and expenses increased largely due to acquisitions, Year 2000 efforts to remediate customers' software (net of recoveries), and training and implementation efforts associated with the Source 500 product and new internal operating systems. COMDATA Revenue increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of a majority interest in Stored Value Systems, Inc. ("SVS") in the first quarter of 1999, increased sales of product and software upgrades and growth in the fleet services (local fueling) business. The impact of the acquisition of SVS was particularly significant in the fourth quarter of 1999, due to the seasonal nature of retail debit card sales. The sale of a telephone debit card business in the second quarter of 1999 and the disposition of the gaming services business in January 1998 reduced 1999 revenue in comparison to 1998. The integration of NTS accounts into the Comdata transaction processing system reduced costs and expenses through elimination of redundant processes. Selling costs decreased in both comparisons primarily due to the conclusion early in the third quarter of 1998 of a customer acquisition program for the fleet services business. Increased Year 2000 costs and increases in provisions for fleet services bad debts reduced the benefit of these cost reductions. ARBITRON The revenue comparison benefited from the acquisition of Tapscan in May 1998. Without regard to the Tapscan acquisition, revenue increased due largely to price escalators in multi-year customer contracts, increased software product and report sales, and an increased number of ratings subscribers. Cost synergies with Tapscan improved gross margin performance while other costs remained consistent with or below the level of revenue growth.

HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES HRS revenue grew by 21.0%, which, after adjustment for the net effect of acquisitions and dispositions, represented internal revenue growth of 12.3%. The most significant acquisitions were the first quarter 1998 purchases of two payroll processing businesses in Canada and the fourth quarter 1998 purchase of the global work-life services business from Work/Family Directions, Inc. The most significant disposition was the sale of Resumix, Inc. in the third quarter of 1998. Details on these and other investing transactions are presented in the accompanying Note J, INVESTING ACTIVITY, to the consolidated financial statements. The internal revenue growth largely reflected a revised pricing structure for payroll services, employment growth experienced by Ceridian's payroll and tax filing customers, the sale of add-on services to existing customers and growth of employee assistance services. Revenue growth was restrained somewhat by implementation on January 1, 1998 of IRS electronic funds transfer regulations that reduced by one day the period of time certain tax filing deposits may be held. As a result, the average balance of collected but unremitted payroll tax funds in the U.S. was down 4.1% from the 1997 level. After eliminating the 1997 and partial year 1998 results of Resumix, the improvement in the relationship of cost of revenue and revenue in HRS largely reflected the revenue growth attributable to a revised pricing structure for payroll services, cost reductions and productivity initiatives in the payroll business and generally increased economies of scale. The HRS improvement in general and administrative expenses was largely due to staff reductions. HRS R&D expenses increased as a percent of revenue reflecting development efforts directed toward new applications, enhancements to existing applications, quality assurance programs and a portion of the costs for Year 2000 readiness. Unusual losses of $223.5 million in 1997, related to the termination of a payroll software development project and other asset write-offs and reported as "Other expense (income)," are not included in the tables above. [END OF PAGE 11 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] COMDATA The January 1998 exchange of Comdata's gaming services business for the NTS transportation services business and cash significantly affected the amount and the mix of Comdata's revenues. Overall, Comdata revenue declined by 19.3%, reflecting the $127.4 million decline in gaming revenues from 1997 to 1998. Transportation services revenues increased by 32.2%, primarily reflecting the increased transportation revenues from the NTS acquisition and internal growth. Major factors contributing to internal growth included cross-selling products on the Comchek-Registered Trademark- card, increases in customer accounts and revenue from local fueling, an increase in funds transfer transactions and increased sales of fuel desk island automation systems and telecommunications services and products. The improvement in the relationship of cost of revenue and revenue at Comdata resulted in large part from the disposition of the gaming services business and also benefited from revenue growth and economies resulting from the integration of the NTS business. These improvements were offset in part by an increase in the provision for bad debts, primarily related to the expansion of the local fueling business. SG&A expenses declined as a percentage of revenue as a reduction in the ratio of general and administrative expenses to revenue exceeded the increase in the ratio of selling expense to revenue. The increase in the selling expense to revenue ratio for Comdata reflected customer acquisition expense during the first half of 1998 in connection with local fueling services. The decrease in Comdata's general and administrative expense to revenue ratio was primarily attributable to the sale of gaming services and the treatment of proceeds from the temporary provision of processing services to the purchaser of that business as a reduction of administrative expense. Unusual losses of $41.0 million in 1997, related to asset write-offs and reported as "Other expense (income)," are not included in the tables above. ARBITRON Arbitron revenue increased by 17.8%, which, after adjustment for acquisitions, represented internal revenue growth of 9.6%. The major acquisitions that affected these comparisons were the November 1997 acquisition of Continental Research and the May 1998 acquisition of the radio station, advertiser/agency and international assets of Tapscan, Inc. Arbitron's revenue growth also reflected price escalators in multi-year customer contracts, a high customer contract renewal rate, increased sales of analytical software and product and media usage reports and an increased number of subscribers for ratings services. The relationship of cost of revenue and revenue for Arbitron remained at the same level as the previous year. Unusual losses of $5.0 million in 1997, related to asset write-offs and reported as "Other expense (income)," are not included in the tables above. FINANCIAL CONDITION

[END OF PAGE 12 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] Cash flows from operating activities in 1999 and 1998 benefited from the reduction of income taxes payable for those years due to the utilization of U.S. net operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions. Earnings from continuing operations for 1997 included a noncash $175.0 million tax benefit from Ceridian's fourth quarter recognition under FAS 109 of the future tax benefits of its net operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions and noncash charges for asset write-offs of $204.4 million. Operating cash flows from working capital activities reflect increases in receivables of $67.2 million in 1999, $33.1 million in 1998 and $54.4 million in 1997. Operating cash flows from working capital activities in 1998 also reflect payments of tax and other accrued liabilities of $67.1 million, and in 1997 include increases in accrued liabilities of $69.6 million, primarily related to unusual losses in the fourth quarter of 1997. Cash flows from investing activities during 1999 principally involved the acquisitions of ABR in June 1999 for $681.5 million and a majority interest in SVS in February 1999 for $20.3 million as described in the accompanying Note J, INVESTING ACTIVITY, to the consolidated financial statements. Capital expenditures amounted to $107.2 million during 1999, primarily for a new Ceridian headquarters building, renovation of an office facility in St. Petersburg, Fla. by Ceridian Benefits Services and hardware and software to be used in internal financial systems. Total expenditures for the headquarters building totaled $27.1 million at December 31, 1999, including $24.6 million incurred in 1999. The projected capitalized cost, including furnishings and interest, to prepare the building for occupancy by June 2000 is $40.8 million. The renovation of an office facility, which will house some of Ceridian Benefits Services operations, has resulted in renovation expenditures of $10.4 million since Ceridian acquired ABR and $25.7 million in total as of December 31, 1999. It is expected that the total renovation expenditures will be approximately $30 million when completed in the first half of 2000. Investing outflows during 1998 principally involved the acquisitions of the payroll services businesses of two Canadian banks for a total cash payment of $140.7 million in the first quarter and the work-life services business of Work/Family Directions, Inc. for a cash payment of $77.5 million in November. Investing inflows in 1998 principally involved Comdata's exchange of its gaming services business for First Data Corporation's NTS transportation services business and the sales of Ceridian's Resumix and Tesseract operations. During 1997, investing outflows included seven acquisitions that resulted in total cash payments of $30.0 million. Investing inflows in 1997 related to the sale of the Computing Devices International division. These and other 1998 and 1997 investing transactions are further described in the accompanying Note J, INVESTING ACTIVITY, to the consolidated financial statements. Capital expenditures for 1998 amounted to $63.1 million, including $46.2 million for tangible property and $16.9 million for software. Capital expenditures for 1997 amounted to $82.0 million, including $44.2 million for tangible property and $37.8 million for software. Cash flows from financing activities during 1999 primarily involved financing arrangements related to the acquisition of ABR as described in the accompanying Note H, FINANCING, to the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock plan purchases provided $24.2 million of financing inflows during 1999. Ceridian repurchased 235,518 shares of its common stock at an average price of $21.86 per share during the third and fourth quarters of 1999, resulting in financing outflows of $5.1 million. Financing inflows during 1998 resulted primarily from financing arrangements related to the acquisition of the Canadian payroll services businesses as described in the accompanying Note H, FINANCING, to the consolidated financial statements. Proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock plan purchases provided $41.0 million of financing inflows during 1998. Repurchases of 6,746,284 Ceridian shares at an average price of $24.42 in 1998 resulted in financing outflows of $182.0 million, including payment of $17.2 million in settlement of 1997 repurchases. Financing outflows in 1997 resulted primarily from repurchases of 15.2 million Ceridian shares at an average price of $19.58 per share for a total of $279.8 million, not including the $17.2 million settled in 1998. Proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock plan purchases provided $21.7 million of financing inflows during 1997. During 1997, Ceridian made net payments of $144.3 million on its outstanding debt, including repaying all amounts then outstanding under its domestic revolving credit facility and related supplemental short-term borrowings used to finance stock repurchases. [END OF PAGE 13 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] Ceridian remains in compliance with all financial covenant tests in its credit agreements and met the fixed charge coverage test of 2.75 times at 10.4 times and the debt-to-capitalization test with a margin of $240.2 million as of December 31, 1999. Assuming first quarter 2000 special charges of $50 million (the upper end of the range announced on January 25, 2000) and interest charges at the current quarterly rate, Ceridian expects that these and all other covenant tests would remain in compliance. Ceridian's expenditures for capital assets and software presently planned for 2000 total approximately $95.8 million with an estimated allocation of $68.0 million to HRS, $9.9 million to Comdata, $4.8 million to Arbitron and $13.1 million to corporate center operations. These planned expenditures include the costs of completing the renovation and construction of facilities described above. Ceridian also plans to continue to grow its business through strategic acquisitions. Ceridian expects to meet its liquidity needs from existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and borrowings under existing credit facilities. YEAR 2000 MATTERS During 1999, Ceridian completed the process of preparing for the Year 2000 date change. This process involved identifying and remediating date recognition problems in computer systems, software and other operating equipment; working with customers, vendors and other third parties to address their Year 2000 issues; and formulating contingency plans to address potential risks in the event of Year 2000 failures. As a result of Ceridian's Year 2000 efforts, to date Ceridian has not experienced any material incident or difficulty related to the Year 2000 event. In addition, Ceridian has not received notice from its customers that they experienced any material incident or related difficulty related to Ceridian's products and services as a result of the Year 2000 event. As a precaution, however, we will continue to monitor all business processes, including our interaction with customers, vendors and other third parties, throughout the remainder of 2000 to address any issues related to the Year 2000 date change and to ensure all processes continue to function properly. Year 2000 costs, which were expensed as incurred, amounted to $20.5 million in 1999. Project-to-date Year 2000 costs amounted to $38.1 million. Year 2000 costs are net of costs recovered or anticipated to be recovered from customers that were assisted by us with their Year 2000 remediation efforts. In addition, total Year 2000 capitalizable replacement costs amounted to $4.5 million. Final project costs of approximately $2.2 million are expected to be incurred in 2000 for ongoing monitoring and support activities. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Ceridian's market risk exposure is primarily interest rate risk related to revenue derived from customer payroll and tax filing deposits. This risk exposure is partially offset by interest expense on floating rate debt obligations. Interest income paid to Ceridian from trusts holding client assets varies as a function of short-term U.S. and Canadian interest rates. Ceridian uses interest rate collars to hedge the risk of falling interest rates. The table below indicates the hypothetical change in Ceridian's after-tax interest income, net of interest expense, over a one-year period due to an immediate and sustained change in the annual average interest rate. The base scenarios utilize the Federal funds rate of 5.50% and 4.75% at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
- ------------------------------------------ ----------------------------- PERCENT CHANGE IN INTEREST RATES HYPOTHETICAL CHANGE IN NET EXPRESSED IN BASIS POINTS INTEREST INCOME FROM BASE SCENARIO (IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) 1999 1998 ---- ---- 300 Rise 7.7 20.8 200 Rise 6.7 14.6 100 Rise 4.4 6.4 50 Rise 2.5 2.6 25 Rise 1.4 1.0 Base Scenario 25 Decline (1.2) (1.0) 50 Decline (2.2) (2.0) 100 Decline (2.7) (3.9) 200 Decline (2.9) (7.8) 300 Decline (3.1) (11.7) - ------------------------------------------ -------------- --------------
[END OF PAGE 14 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] Computations in the table above are based on assumptions about the amounts of funds held in client trusts and the relative levels of short-term market interest rates within U.S. and Canadian markets and should not be relied on as precise indicators of future expected results. Included in the computations are the effects of interest rate changes on income and expense related to all short-term and floating rate assets and liabilities owned or issued by Ceridian or its subsidiaries, including interest rate collar contracts. Compared to 1998, Ceridian reduced exposure to interest rates by increasing its interest rate collars to cover a higher percentage of expected interest income, and by increasing the use of fixed rate investments of funds held for customers. See also the sections entitled "Payroll and Tax Filing Services" in Note A, ACCOUNTING POLICIES, and "Interest Rate Collars" in Note K, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, to the consolidated financial statements. CAUTIONARY FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Our future results of operations and the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report, in other of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases and in other publications, and made by our management, are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences are discussed in the following paragraphs. IMPLEMENTATION AND SUCCESS OF PLANS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE OF U.S. PAYROLL BUSINESS. In January 2000, we announced initiatives to invest in and improve the performance of our U.S. payroll business. These initiatives include: - - Transitioning small business customers with up to 200 employees to Powerpay-TM-, our new Internet payroll product - - Improving our customer service model - - Changes in our pricing strategy - - Continuing product enhancement - - Investments in Six Sigma - - Consolidation of payroll processing centers We cannot assure you that our efforts and the amount we invest in this process will be sufficient to improve the financial performance of our U.S. payroll business in 2000 and beyond. If these initiatives fail or the level of investment needs to be increased, the result would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. GOVERNMENT REGULATION CHANGES ON TIMING OF REMITTANCE AND INTEREST RATE CHANGES AND INVESTMENT INCOME FROM CUSTOMER DEPOSITS. Our payroll and tax filing business in the United States and Canada derives significant revenue and earnings from the investment of customer deposits. Customer deposits are temporarily held and invested before being remitted to tax filing authorities or the customer's employees. We receive this investment income in lieu of additional fees that would otherwise be charged to these customers. During 1999, the average yield on this investment was 5.6%. Changes in governmental regulations on the timing of remittances may reduce the period of time we are allowed to hold such remittances and may adversely affect our revenue and earnings from this source. If governmental regulations change in this fashion, we would seek to require customers who permit us to retain earnings on their deposits to pay us additional fees in lieu of this lost investment income. In addition, changes in interest rates will affect our revenue and earnings from this source. Interest rate changes are difficult to predict and could be significant. We have sought to lessen the impact of interest rate decreases by entering into a series of interest rate collar transactions (see Note K, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, and the "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" above). We cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to obtain collars or obtain them on favorable terms, or to what extent any decrease in investment income would be offset by the use of these collars. If we are unable to secure collars on favorable terms and interest rates decrease, our financial results would be adversely affected. [END OF PAGE 15 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] ABILITY TO INCREASE REVENUE FROM CROSS-SELLING EFFORTS AND NEW PRODUCTS. We attribute a portion of our anticipated future revenue growth in each of our business segments to: - - The continued selling of additional products and services to our existing customer base - - The planned introduction of new or enhanced product and service offerings - - The selling of our products and services to customers among our various business groups How successful we are in these efforts will depend on a variety of factors, including: - - Product and service selection - - Effective sales and marketing efforts - - Level of market acceptance and the avoidance of difficulties or delays in development or introduction We cannot assure you that we will achieve our revenue growth objectives from cross-selling efforts and new products. The inability to cross sell our products or develop new products would have an adverse effect on our business. ABILITY TO IMPROVE OPERATING MARGINS IN HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES (HRS). Our ability to improve profit margins in our HRS businesses will depend on factors that include the degree to which and the speed with which we are able to increase operational efficiencies and reduce operating costs in those businesses (see "Implementation and Success of Plans to Improve Performance of U.S. Payroll Business" above), and the level of customer retention in those businesses (see "Customer Retention" below). Delays or difficulties in implementing process improvements (such as those designed to reduce printing, telecommunication and customer service costs, or installing new products and services and in consolidating various functions) could adversely affect the timing or effectiveness of cost reduction and margin improvement efforts. CUSTOMER RETENTION. Customer retention is an important factor in the amount and predictability of revenue and profits in each of our businesses. Customer retention is dependent on a number of factors, including: - - Customer satisfaction - - Offerings by competitors - - Our customer service levels - - Price In providing certain services, particularly payroll processing and tax filing services, we incur installation and conversion costs in connection with new customers that must be recovered before the contractual relationship provides incremental profit. The longer we are able to retain a customer, the more profitable that contract is likely to be to us. EFFECTING SYSTEM UPGRADES AND CONVERSIONS. We are in the process of transitioning to new data processing systems and/or software in several of our business units, including systems that process customer data and internal management information systems. The successful implementation of these new systems is critical to the effective delivery of products and services and the efficient operation of our businesses. Problems or delays with the installation or initial operation of the new systems could disrupt or increase costs in connection with the delivery of services and with operations planning, financial reporting and management. DEFERRALS IN INSTALLATIONS RELATED TO THE YEAR 2000 EVENT. In the second half of 1999, we experienced deferrals in new product installations in HRS as a result of our customers' reaction to the Year 2000 event. The deferral of installations from 1999 into the first half of 2000 will negatively impact our revenue in 2000. We cannot assure you of the timing of the installations of deferred product. [END OF PAGE 16 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] CONSOLIDATION IN RADIO BROADCASTING INDUSTRY. The recent consolidation in the radio broadcasting industry could put pressure on the pricing of Arbitron's radio ratings service, from which Arbitron derives a substantial majority of its total revenue. While Arbitron has experienced some success in offsetting the revenue impact of any concessions by providing ratings to additional stations within a radio group and by providing additional software and other services, we cannot assure you as to the degree to which Arbitron will be able to continue to do so. ABILITY TO ADAPT TO CHANGING TECHNOLOGY. As a provider of information management and data processing services, we must adapt and respond to technological advances offered by competitors and technological requirements of customers in order to maintain and improve upon our competitive position. We cannot assure you that new products and product enhancements can be developed and released within the projected time frames and within targeted costs. Significant delays, difficulties or added costs in introducing new products or enhancements, either through internal development, acquisitions or cooperative relationships with other companies, could have a material adverse effect on the market acceptance of our products and services and the results of operations of our businesses generally. ACQUISITION RISKS. We expect that we will continue to make acquisitions of, investments in and strategic alliances with complementary businesses, products and technologies to enable us to add products and services for our core customer base and for adjacent markets, and to expand each of our businesses geographically. However, implementation of this strategy entails a number of risks, including: - - Inaccurate assessment of undisclosed liabilities - - Entry into markets in which we may have limited or no experience - - Diversion of management's attention from our core businesses - - Potential loss of key employees or customers of the acquired businesses - - Difficulties in assimilating the operations and products of an acquired business or in realizing projected efficiencies and cost savings - - Increase in our indebtedness and a limitation in our ability to access additional capital when needed Integration of acquisitions and obtaining anticipated revenue synergies or cost reductions are also a risk in many acquisitions. Also, if we must utilize purchase accounting for acquisitions, and given the financial characteristics of information services businesses, it may be difficult for us to avoid having acquisitions that are dilutive to earnings per share. COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS. Because the markets we serve are large and attractive, new competitors could decide to enter these markets, and thereby intensify the highly competitive conditions that already exist. These new entrants could offer new technologies (see "Ability to Adapt to Changing Technology" above) or a different service model, or could treat the services provided by one of our businesses as one component of a larger product/service offering. These developments could enable new competitors to offer similar products at reduced prices. Any of these or similar developments could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. LIABILITY AS A PORTABILITY ADMINISTRATOR. As a result of our acquisition of ABR Information Services, Inc., now known as Ceridian Benefits Services, we are subject to potential legal liability as a provider of portability compliance services. As a provider of COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) compliance services, Ceridian Benefits Services is subject to excise taxes for noncompliance with certain provisions of COBRA. In addition to the excise tax liability that may be imposed on Ceridian Benefits Services, substantial excise taxes may be imposed under COBRA on Ceridian Benefits Services' customers. Under Ceridian Benefits Services' service agreements with its customers, Ceridian Benefits Services assumes financial responsibility for the payment of such taxes assessed against its customers arising out of Ceridian Benefits Services' failure to comply with COBRA, unless such taxes are attributable to the customer's failure to comply with COBRA or with the terms of its agreement with Ceridian Benefits Services. In addition to liability for excise taxes for noncompliance with [END OF PAGE 17 OF THE CERIDIAN ANNUAL REPORT] COBRA, Ceridian Benefits Services accepts financial responsibility for certain liabilities incurred by its customers that are attributable to Ceridian Benefits Services' failure to comply with COBRA or to fulfill the terms of its obligations to its customers under its agreements. These liabilities could, in certain cases, be substantial. The imposition of such liability on us as a result of the acquisition of Ceridian Benefits Services in excess of any available insurance coverage could harm our business and adversely affect our operating results. As a provider of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) compliance and administration services, Ceridian Benefits Services is subject to ERISA penalties for noncompliance with certain provisions of HIPAA. Under Ceridian Benefits Services' service agreements with its customers, Ceridian Benefits Services assumes financial responsibility for the payment of penalties assessed against its customers arising out of Ceridian Benefits Services' failure to comply with HIPAA, unless such penalties are attributable to the customer's failure to comply with HIPAA or with the terms of its agreement with Ceridian Benefits Services. These liabilities could, in certain cases, be substantial. The imposition of such liability on us as a result of the acquisition of Ceridian Benefits Services in excess of any available insurance coverage could harm our business and adversely affect our operating results. CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Changes in governmental regulations, and in particular, the extent and type of benefits that employers are required to or may choose to provide employees, and the amount and type of federal or state taxes, may adversely affect our revenue and earnings. Changes in governmental regulations are difficult to predict and could be significant. OTHER FACTORS. Trade, monetary and fiscal policies, and political and economic conditions may substantially change, with corresponding impacts on the industries which we serve, particularly more economically sensitive industries such as trucking. These changes could also affect employment levels, with a corresponding impact on our payroll processing and tax filing businesses. Our future operating results may also be adversely affected by adverse judgments, settlements, unanticipated costs or other effects of legal and administrative proceedings now pending or that may be instituted in the future.

EX-13.03 12 EX-13.03 Exhibit 13.03 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Ceridian Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ceridian Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ceridian Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ KPMG LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota January 25, 2000 From Page 19 of the Ceridian Annual Report

ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of Ceridian Corporation ("Ceridian") include the accounts of all majority owned subsidiaries. As further discussed in Note B, Computing Devices International ("CDI"), a division of Ceridian sold in December 1997, is presented as a discontinued operation. Investments in other affiliated companies where Ceridian has significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are accounted for by the cost method. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS FAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," (as amended by FAS 137 with respect to the effective date) will be effective for Ceridian in January 2001. FAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. This applies whether the derivatives are stand-alone instruments, such as forward currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps or collars, or embedded derivatives, such as call options contained in convertible debt investments. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are also to be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. These market value adjustments are to be included either in net earnings or loss in the statement of operations or in other comprehensive income (and accumulated in stockholders' equity), depending on the nature of the transaction. Ceridian is currently reviewing the potential impact of this accounting standard. In December 1999, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. Aspects of SAB 101 relevant to Ceridian primarily concern the timing of the recognition of revenue and certain expenses related to arrangements that involve the receipt of nonrefundable, up-front fees. SAB 101 requires that in particular situations the nonrefundable fees and certain associated costs be recognized over the contractual term or average life of the underlying arrangement. SAB 101 will be effective for Ceridian in the first quarter of 2000. Ceridian does not expect SAB 101 to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Ceridian accounts for stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Therefore, compensation expense is not recorded with respect to Ceridian's fixed stock option and employee stock purchase plans, and compensation expense for performance-based restricted stock awards is recorded based on the stock price at time of vesting or estimated future vesting. Ceridian also reports under the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. From Page 24 of the Ceridian Annual Report CHANGES IN PRESENTATION Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Investments which are readily convertible to cash within three months of purchase are classified in the balance sheet as cash equivalents. Investments, if any, with longer maturities are considered available-for-sale under FAS 115 and reported in the balance sheet as short-term investments. At December 31, 1999, short-term investments of $22.0 consisted of marketable securities, primarily issued by U.S. government agencies. These securities are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated for financial statement purposes using straight-line and accelerated methods at rates based on the estimated lives of the assets, which are generally as follows: - --------------------------- ----------- Buildings 40 years Building improvements 5-15 years Machinery and equipment 3-8 years Computer equipment 3-6 years - --------------------------- -----------
Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions are included in results of operations. Interest capitalized in 1999 of $1.7 related to the construction of a new headquarters facility in Bloomington, Minn. and the renovation of an office facility in St. Petersburg, Fla. that will house certain benefits services operations. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share represents earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents earnings divided by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus shares derived from potentially dilutive securities. For Ceridian, potentially dilutive securities includes "in the money" fixed stock options outstanding. The numbers of shares added for stock options is determined by the treasury stock method, which assumes exercise of these options and the use of any proceeds to repurchase a portion of these shares at the average market price for the period. The option shares excluded from the calculation of potentially dilutive securities because the exercise price exceeded the average market price were 849,000 in 1999, 341,000 in 1998 and 5,492,000 in 1997. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES Goodwill, which represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired, is assigned to operating units based on the benefits derived from the acquisition and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected periods to be benefited, ranging up to 40 years. Other intangible assets represents amounts assigned to intangible assets at the time of a purchase acquisition and includes such items as customer lists and bases, technology, covenants not to compete, tradenames, workforce-in-place and other rights. Such costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging up to 30 years. Recorded amounts are regularly reviewed and recoverability assessed. The review considers factors such as whether the amortization of the goodwill and other intangible assets for each operating unit over its remaining life can be recovered through forecasted undiscounted cash flows. SOFTWARE AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS Ceridian capitalizes purchased software that is ready for service and development costs for marketable software incurred from the time the preliminary project stage is completed until the software is ready for use. Under the provisions of SOP 98-1, Ceridian capitalizes costs associated with software developed or obtained for internal use when both the preliminary project stage is completed and Ceridian management has authorized further funding for the project which it deems probable of completion and use for the function intended. Capitalized internal-use software costs include only (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining the software, (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the project, and (3) interest costs incurred, when material, while From Page 25 of the Ceridian Annual Report developing the software. Capitalization of such costs ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Research and development costs and other computer software maintenance costs related to software development are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over a range of three to seven years, but not exceeding the expected life of the product. The carrying value of software and development costs is regularly reviewed by Ceridian, and a loss is recognized when the value of estimated undiscounted cash flow benefit related to the asset falls below the unamortized cost. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes is based on income recognized for financial statement purposes and includes the effects of temporary differences between such income and that recognized for tax return purposes. Ceridian and its eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. Certain subsidiaries which are consolidated for financial reporting are not eligible to be included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and separate provisions for income taxes have been determined for these entities. Except for selective dividends, Ceridian intends to reinvest the unremitted earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and postpone their remittance indefinitely. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes was required on such earnings during the three years ended December 31, 1999. REVENUE RECOGNITION Services revenue is recognized when the services are performed and billable, except for certain services provided by Ceridian's Comdata subsidiary, Comdata Network, Inc., and revenue from payroll and tax filing services described below. Revenue from Comdata funds transfer and regulatory permit services consists of the transaction fees charged to customers. Such revenue does not include the costs of goods and services for which funds are advanced by Comdata (e.g., fuel purchased, permit provided or face amount of the Comchek purchased and cashed). However, Comdata pays the issuing agent (e.g., truck stop or state agency) for the full cost of the goods and services provided and, accordingly, bills the customer for such cost as well as the transaction fee. As a result, Ceridian's accounts receivable includes both the cost of the goods and services purchased and the transaction fees. Ceridian's drafts and customer funds payable includes the amount due to the issuing agent for the cost of the goods and services. Revenue is recognized for the amount of the transaction fee at the time the goods and services are purchased. PAYROLL AND TAX FILING SERVICES In connection with its U.S. payroll tax filing services, Ceridian collects funds for payment of taxes due, holds such funds in trust until payment is due, remits the funds to the appropriate taxing authority, files federal, state and local tax returns, handles related regulatory correspondence and amendments, and selectively absorbs regulatory charges for certain penalties and interest. For such services, Ceridian derives its payroll tax filing revenue from fees charged and from investment income it receives on tax filing deposits temporarily held pending remittance on behalf of customers to taxing authorities. The trust invests primarily in high quality collateralized short-term investments or top tier commercial paper. The trust also invests in U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, AAA rated asset-backed securities and corporate securities rated A3/A- or better. The aggregate amount of collected but unremitted funds varies significantly during the year and averaged $1,353.3 in 1999, $1,320.1 in 1998 and $1,376.1 in 1997. The amounts of such funds at December 31, 1999 and 1998, were $1,619.2 and $2,142.2, respectively. Ceridian handles payroll as well as tax filing funds for its Canadian customers. Ceridian collects funds for payment to clients' employees and tax authorities and holds these funds in trust until remitted. The Canadian trust invests in securities issued by the government and provinces of Canada, highly rated Canadian banks and corporations, asset backed trusts and mortgages. Ceridian earns income from the trust and fees for services similar to those provided in the U.S. The aggregate balances in U.S. dollars for the Canadian trust as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were $652.5 and $562.8, with average outstanding balances during those years of $436.3 and $397.1. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES Local currencies have been determined to be functional currencies for Ceridian's international operations. Foreign currency balance sheets are translated at the end-of-period exchange rates and earnings statements at the average exchange rates for each period. The resulting translation gains or losses are described as "foreign currency translation" and reported in "other comprehensive income (loss)" in the accompanying Statements of Stockholders' Equity. Gains and losses from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in other than the functional currency of the operation are recorded in results of operations as "other expense (income)." From Page 26 of the Ceridian Annual Report B. SUPPLEMENTARY DATA TO STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS UNUSUAL CHARGES (GAINS) On January 25, 2000, Ceridian announced that it will be taking certain actions to improve the operations of its U.S. payroll business. It is expected that specific plans for these actions will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2000 and result in special charges of $35.0 to $50.0 in that quarter. The 1998 unusual gains of $9.2 ($5.8 after tax) are related primarily to the sale in fourth quarter of land not used in operations. The 1997 unusual charges included $13.0 in first quarter in connection with a litigation settlement, $150.0 in third quarter in connection with the termination of a payroll processing software development project, and $144.6 in fourth quarter, due principally to asset write-offs. The largest portion of these charges related to an aggregate impairment loss from asset write-offs of $204.4. The payments of liabilities incurred in connection with the termination of the software development project largely related to severance, contract termination penalties, unused facilities and incremental costs to convert beta customers to the ongoing system as originally anticipated under the project termination plan.

The asset write-offs of $87.5 in fourth quarter 1997 included $64.8 of goodwill and other intangible assets, $11.7 of hardware and software in Comdata, and a $11.0 loss on the sale of Comdata's gaming services business, which sale closed in January 1998. In accordance with the original plans of action initiated, payments applied against fourth quarter 1997 accrued liabilities included planned expenditures related to excess facilities and severance costs, contract negotiation costs and costs associated with legal and administrative proceedings involving Ceridian. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On December 31, 1997, Ceridian sold substantially all of the net assets of CDI, which comprised its defense electronics segment. As a result, the gain from this sale, along with the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of CDI are separately presented as discontinued operations and eliminated from continuing operations amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. The gain at the time of sale amounted to $386.3 or $2.42 per diluted share ($2.46 per basic share). The gain was increased by $25.4 or $0.18 per diluted or basic share in fourth quarter 1998, due to a reduction of estimated accruals related to this sale. The earnings from CDI operations were $0.32 per diluted or basic share in 1997.

From Page 27 of the Ceridian Annual Report C. SEGMENT DATA Ceridian operates in the information services industry principally in the U.S. and provides products and services to the human resources, transportation and media information markets. Its business segments include Human Resource Services, Comdata and Arbitron. These businesses collect, manage and analyze data and process transactions on behalf of customers, report information resulting from such activities to customers, and provide customers with related software applications and services. The technology-based products and services of these businesses are typically provided through long-term customer relationships that result in a high level of recurring revenue. The business segments are distinguished primarily by reference to the markets served and the nature of the services provided. Selected business segment information is provided in an accompanying table. Human Resource Services offers a broad range of services and software designed to help employers more effectively manage their work forces and information that is integral to human resource processes. These products and services include transaction-oriented administrative services and software products, primarily in areas such as payroll processing and tax filing, as well as management support software and services in areas such as benefits administration, qualified plan administration, skills management, regulatory compliance, employee training, work-life effectiveness and employee assistance programs. Revenue from payroll and tax filing services also includes investment income earned by Ceridian from deposits temporarily held pending remittance on behalf of customers to taxing authorities and customers' employees. These activities are conducted primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, through subsidiaries in the United Kingdom ("UK") and, beginning in 1998, Canada.

Comdata provides transaction processing and decision support services to the transportation industry, primarily trucking companies, truck stops and truck drivers, in both the long haul and local markets in the U.S. These services primarily involve the use of a proprietary funds transfer card which facilitates truck driver transactions and provides transaction control and trip information for trucking firms. Additionally, Comdata provides assistance in obtaining regulatory permits and other compliance services, driver relations services, local fueling services and discounted telecommunications services in its markets. In 1999, Comdata established its Payment Services division for extending Comdata's products and services to customers outside the transportation industry. Arbitron provides media and marketing information (primarily radio audience measurement) to broadcasters, advertising agencies, advertisers and, through a joint venture, newspaper and magazine publishers and TV broadcasters. Arbitron also provides software applications that give customers access to Arbitron's database and, through a joint venture, measurement data concerning consumer retail behavior and media usage. These activities are conducted primarily in the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, in the UK. The Other segment includes the unallocated amounts related to corporate center operations. The assets of corporate center operations include cash and equivalents as well as deferred income tax and pension assets. Ceridian measures business segment results by reference to earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), adjusted for unusual gains and losses. In 1998, adjustments included unusual gains related primarily to the disposition of land not used in the business. In 1997, adjustments included charges of $13.0 for a litigation settlement, $150.0 for termination of a payroll software development project and $144.6 due principally to goodwill and other asset write-offs. Expenses incurred by corporate center operations are charged or allocated to the business segments. Revenue from sales between business segments is not material. The operations of Ceridian are conducted primarily in the U.S and revenue from sales between U.S. and non-U.S. entities is not material. Non-U.S. operations in Canada and the UK relate largely to the Human Resource Services segment. Geographic data for or at the end of each of the last three years, presented above, is determined by reference to the location of operation. From Page 28 of the Ceridian Annual Report

From Page 29 of the Ceridian Annual Report - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D. INCOME TAXES Ceridian has U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $216.2 and future tax deductions of $108.2, which will be available to offset regular taxable U.S. income during the carryforward period (through 2014). The tax benefits of these items are reflected in the accompanying table of deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability. If not used, these carryforwards will begin to expire in 2005. In 1998, Ceridian realized a tax benefit of $18.5 related to the difference between its tax and financial reporting basis in a subsidiary that was disposed of during fourth quarter. Under tax sharing agreements existing at the time of the disposition of certain former operations of Ceridian, Ceridian remains subject to income tax audits in various jurisdictions for the years 1985-1992. Ceridian considers its tax accruals adequate to cover any U.S. and international tax deficiencies not recoverable through deductions in future years.

From Page 31 of the Ceridian Annual Report F. RETIREMENT PLANS PENSION BENEFITS Ceridian maintains a defined benefit pension plan for U.S. employees that closed to new participants effective January 1, 1995. Assets of the plan consist principally of equity securities, U.S. government securities, and other fixed income obligations and do not include securities issued by Ceridian. Benefits under the plan are calculated on maximum or career average earnings and years of participation in the plan. Employees participate in this plan by means of salary reduction contributions. Certain former employees are inactive participants in the plan. Retirement plan funding amounts are based on independent consulting actuaries' determination of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 funding requirements. The funded status of the plan at September 30, 1999 and 1998 measurement dates and changes in funded status for the annual periods then ended are shown in the accompanying tables, along with the net periodic pension cost and assumptions used in calculations for each of the last three years. Ceridian also sponsors a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan. The projected benefit obligations at September 30, 1999 and 1998 for this plan were $23.2 and $23.5, respectively, and the net periodic pension cost was $3.0 for 1999, $2.8 for 1998 and $2.3 for 1997. The related intangible asset amounts included in prepaid pension cost were $1.5 at December 31, 1999 and $2.0 at December 31, 1998. At December 31, 1999, prepaid pension cost also included $7.5 held in Rabbi trusts for certain beneficiaries of this plan. The costs recognized by Ceridian with respect to its defined contribution retirement plans were $7.9 in 1999, $8.9 in 1998 and $6.7 in 1997.

From Page 32 of the Ceridian Annual Report POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Ceridian provides health care and life insurance benefits for eligible retired employees, including individuals who retired from operations of Ceridian that were subsequently sold or discontinued. Ceridian sponsors several health care plans in the U.S. for both pre- and post-age 65 retirees. Company contributions to these plans differ for various groups of retirees and future retirees. Employees hired on or after January 1, 1992 may enroll at retirement in company-sponsored plans with no company subsidy. Employees hired before and retiring after that date may enroll in plans that subsidize pre-age 65 coverage only. Employees who retired prior to 1992 are subject to various cost-sharing policies depending on when retirement began and eligibility for Medicare. This is a closed group. Most retirees outside the United States are covered by governmental health care programs, and Ceridian's cost is not significant. The following tables present the amounts and changes in the aggregate benefit obligation at the beginning and end of and for each of the last two measurement periods and the components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the plans for the last three years. For 1999, the measurement date was changed from December 31 to September 30 without any material impact on amounts presented. Ceridian does not prefund these costs.

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the benefit obligation is 9% for pre-age 65 and 5.75% for post-age 65 in 1999, with pre-age 65 rates declining at a rate of 1% per year to an ultimate rate of 5.75% in 2003. A one percent increase in this rate would increase the benefit obligation at September 30, 1999 by $2.5 and the aggregate service and interest cost for the 1999 measurement period by $0.2. A one percent decrease in this rate would decrease the benefit obligation at September 30, 1999 by $2.2 and the aggregate service and interest cost for the 1999 measurement period by $0.2. The weighted average discount rates used in determining the benefit obligation at the measurement dates were 7.5% for 1999 and 7.0% for 1998. From Page 33 of the Ceridian Annual Report G. STOCK PLANS During the three-year period ended December 31, 1999, Ceridian provided stock-based compensation plans for directors, officers, other employees, consultants and independent contractors. The 1996 Director Performance Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 250,000 shares in connection with awards of stock options and non-performance restricted stock to non-employee directors of Ceridian. An annual grant of a non-qualified stock option to purchase 4,000 shares (3,000 shares before 1998) is made to each eligible director with such grants becoming fully exercisable six months after the date of grant. The exercise price of the options is the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant, and the options expire in ten years. A one-time award of non-performance restricted shares is made to each non-employee director when the director first joins the Board with restrictions on transfer that will ordinarily lapse annually over a five-year period. The number of shares awarded will have a fair market value equal to two and one-half times (four times before 1998) the then current annual retainer paid to non-employee directors. Additionally, one-half of the annual retainer for each non-employee director is also provided in the form of restricted stock. The restrictions on transfer of the retainer restricted stock awards will lapse at the conclusion of the director's service. The 1999 Stock Incentive Plan ("1999 SIP") authorizes the issuance until February 2, 2009 of up to 12,695,048 common shares, which includes remaining shares that were authorized and available for grant under the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended ("1993 LTIP"), in connection with awards of stock options, restricted stock awards and performance unit awards to eligible

participants in the 1999 SIP. Eligible participants in the 1999 SIP include all employees of Ceridian and any non-employee director, consultant and independent contractor of Ceridian. The 1993 LTIP and the 1994 Stock Option Plan ("1994 SOP"), which provided awards of stock options and restricted stock to executive officers and other key employees of Ceridian, expired on December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Stock options awarded under the 1999 SIP and its predecessor plans generally vest annually either over a three-year period or on a specific date if certain performance criteria are satisfied, have 10-year terms and have an exercise price that may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. Options that remain outstanding under the 1993 LTIP, the 1994 SOP and other predecessor plans are subject to similar terms as the 1999 SIP. The 1999 SIP gives discretion to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee (the committee of the Board of Directors of Ceridian that administers the 1999 SIP) to determine the effect that a change of control of Ceridian will have upon awards made under that plan. The vesting of stock option awards granted in 1999 under the 1999 SIP will accelerate upon a change of control of Ceridian. The predecessor employee plans also provide for the accelerated exercisability of options and the accelerated lapse of transfer restrictions on restricted stock if a participant's employment terminates for specified reasons within two years of a change of control of Ceridian. From Page 34 of the Ceridian Annual Report Another 844,393 authorized shares were added to outstanding options as a result of the conversion of certain options held by optionees in certain plans of ABR Information Services, Inc. ("ABR") when ABR was acquired by Ceridian in mid-1999. With the exception of options held by certain key executives, the converted options vested upon the acquisition of ABR, but otherwise remain under the same terms and conditions as the original grants, which included an option price at not less than fair market value at date of grant, vesting at 25% of grant annually and expiration ten years after date of original grant. During 1998, Ceridian reserved 1,000,000 common shares for a new stock-based compensation plan ("UK Plan") for certain employees in its operations in the United Kingdom. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), as amended in 1998 to authorize an additional 2,000,000 shares, provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 shares of newly issued or treasury common stock of Ceridian to eligible employees. The purchase price of the stock to ESPP participants is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value on either the first day or the last day of the applicable three-month offering period. As reported in Note A, Ceridian adopted the disclosure-only provisions of FAS 123 and continues to account for stock-based compensation as in prior years. Therefore, no expense is recorded with respect to Ceridian's stock option or employee stock purchase plans, and compensation expense (credit) of $0.9 in 1999, $(3.3) in 1998 and $(2.4) in 1997 were included in continuing operations in connection with restricted stock awards.

The following disclosure, including referenced tables, is provided with respect to the provisions of FAS 123. Ceridian employs the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the fair value of stock option grants, restricted stock awards and ESPP purchases, as presented in an accompanying table. Weighted average exercise prices for stock option activity and options outstanding at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 are included in the Stock Plans table on the previous page. Further information on outstanding and exercisable stock options by exercise price range as of the end of the current year is disclosed in an accompanying table. Ceridian is required to report the pro forma effect on net earnings and earnings per share that would have resulted if the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation issued in those years had been adopted. The application of the fair value method would have resulted in the determination of compensation cost for grants of stock options and purchases under the ESPP and would have eliminated from the related compensation cost the revaluation to market price of unvested awards of restricted stock. Such compensation cost would then be allocated to the related period of service. The results of this calculation and the assumptions used appear in the accompanying pro forma table. From Page 35 of the Ceridian Annual Report H. FINANCING On June 10, 1999, Ceridian completed a Rule 144A senior notes offering with registration rights and a face amount of $450.0, which was sold through initial purchasers led by Banc of America Securities LLC. Pursuant to the terms of this private debt offering, Ceridian registered like senior notes with the SEC on a Form S-4 that was declared effective on September 20, 1999. Holders of $445.0 of the privately held notes subsequently exchanged their holdings for registered senior notes. Ceridian applied the private debt offering net proceeds of $445.6 to the payment of a $450.0 short-term loan with Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association. Those proceeds, along with Ceridian funds and an advance of $210.0 on Ceridian's $250.0 domestic revolving credit agreement at an average interest rate of 5.7% per annum, provided funding for the acquisition of ABR. The original issue discount of $4.4, recorded as an offset to senior notes, and capitalizable issue costs of $0.8, recorded as other noncurrent assets, will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the senior notes. The senior notes have a five-year term, a coupon interest rate of 7.25% per annum payable semiannually beginning December 1, 1999, and mature on June 1, 2004. Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar securities or current rates offered to Ceridian for debt of the same maturities, the estimated fair value of the senior notes at December 31, 1999 was $436.5. At December 31, 1999, the amount of advances outstanding under a $250.0 domestic revolving credit facility, arranged with a commercial bank syndicate in July 1997, amounted to $125.0, along with $3.5 of letters of credit. No amount of advances was outstanding at December 31, 1998. The domestic credit facility is unsecured and has a

final maturity of July 31, 2002. The full amount of the credit facility may be utilized for revolving loans and up to $75.0 of the credit facility may be used to obtain standby letters of credit. The pricing of the credit facility for both loans and letters of credit is determined based on Ceridian's senior unsecured debt ratings. Under the terms of the credit facility, Ceridian's consolidated debt must not exceed its stockholders' equity as of the end of any fiscal quarter, and the ratio of Ceridian's EBIT to interest expense on a rolling four quarter basis must be at least 2.75 to 1. The credit facility also limits liens, subsidiary debt, contingent obligations, operating leases, minority equity investments and divestitures. At December 31, 1999, Ceridian was in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit facility. During first quarter 1998 and in connection with the purchases of two payroll services businesses in Canada, Ceridian entered into two revolving credit arrangements which expire on July 31, 2002 with Canadian banks through a Canadian subsidiary. The initial borrowings amounted to $70.4 in the aggregate, carry interest rates of approximately 5.5% per annum and had aggregate outstanding balances at December 31, 1999 and 1998 of $38.7 and $53.9, respectively. No additional advances have been drawn against the Canadian credit arrangements since the initial borrowings. Other borrowing activities during 1999 and 1998 primarily involved small revolving credit or overdraft credit lines of subsidiaries. From Page 36 of the Ceridian Annual Report I. LEASING Ceridian conducts a substantial portion of its operations in leased facilities. Most of these leases contain renewal options and require payments for taxes, insurance and maintenance. Ceridian remains secondarily liable for future rental obligations related to assigned leases totaling $7.7 at December 31, 1999. Ceridian does not anticipate any material non-performance by the assignees of these leases. Virtually all leasing arrangements for equipment and facilities are operating leases and the rental payments under these leases are charged to operations as incurred. The amounts in the accompanying tables do not include assigned leases or obligations recorded as liabilities. The amounts of rental expense and sublease income for each of the three years ended December 31, 1999 appear in the Rental Expense table.

From Page 37 of the Ceridian Annual Report J. INVESTING ACTIVITY As of June 7, 1999, Ceridian acquired ABR Information Services, Inc. ("ABR"), now known as Ceridian Benefits Services, as a result of a tender offer for all outstanding shares of ABR common stock at a price of $25.50 per share in cash and a subsequent merger on July 22, 1999. ABR provided comprehensive benefits administration, payroll and human resource services to employers of all sizes. The purchase price of $751.8 included $720.9 for tendered shares, $12.7 for ABR shares converted to the right to receive $25.50 per share and $6.7 for Ceridian direct acquisition costs. The purchase price also included the exchange of Ceridian stock options valued at $11.5 for any unexercised ABR stock options outstanding. The value assigned to the net assets of ABR that were acquired by Ceridian amounted to $62.7, and the total goodwill and other intangibles of $689.1 is being amortized on average over a 30-year period. The allocation of purchase price resulted in the recording of acquired assets and liabilities listed in the table below. Property, plant and equipment of $66.2 included $15.6 of construction in progress related to an ABR office facility in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The 1999 net investing cash outflows related to the ABR acquisition, after reduction for cash and equivalents acquired of $77.4, amounted to $681.5. These outflows included payments of $720.9 for shares tendered in June, $12.7 deposited in July for the remaining shares, and payments of $6.4 for Ceridian direct acquisition costs and $18.9 for ABR liabilities directly related to the acquisition. The directly related ABR liabilities assumed included payments during 1999 of $11.4 paid in July to buy out vested ABR stock options and $7.5 for investment consulting fees. The above unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations of Ceridian for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 as if the acquisition of ABR had taken place on January 1, 1998. ABR earnings for the 1998 period included a $11.0 write-off of purchased in-process research and development and a $13.8 software write-off. During first quarter 1999, Comdata acquired a majority interest in Stored Value Systems, Inc. ("SVS"). Comdata has the option to purchase the remainder of SVS in 2000. The acquisition required payments by Comdata of $7.3 to SVS to retire an amount due to its former parent company and $13.0 to other investors. Revenue of SVS was approximately $15.0 in 1998. During first quarter 1998, Ceridian, through a Canadian subsidiary, acquired the payroll services businesses of two Canadian banks for a total cash payment of $140.7 of which $70.4 was borrowed from the sellers. The acquisitions resulted in the recording of $123.5 of goodwill. Pre-acquisition revenue for these operations was approximately $65.0 in 1997. Substantially all of the 1998 revenue for these businesses was reported in Ceridian's revenue. In November 1998, Ceridian acquired the work-life services business of Work/Family Directions, Inc., which had estimated pre-acquisition revenue of approximately $52.0 in 1998 and $57.0 in 1997. The acquisition resulted in a cash payment of $77.5 and the recording of $66.5 of goodwill. In May 1998, Ceridian purchased certain assets of Tapscan, Inc., which, along with other minor purchase acquisitions made during 1998, resulted in cash payments totaling $14.7, deferred payment obligations of $3.0 and goodwill of $13.6. In January 1998, Comdata exchanged its gaming services business for First Data Corporation's NTS transportation services business and $50.5 in cash. The net cash inflow from the exchange was $30.1 and the net reduction in goodwill was $44.1. During the year, Ceridian sold its Resumix and Tesseract operations, along with other smaller businesses and assets. The aggregate net cash proceeds from these sales were $19.4 with no material gain or loss. During 1997, Ceridian sold CDI as further described in Note B. Also during 1997, Ceridian acquired or invested in seven small businesses. The aggregate consideration for these acquisitions and investments consisted of $30.0 in cash, assumption of $8.6 of debt and 1,885,340 shares of Ceridian's common stock. Goodwill recorded for these transactions was $40.2. From Page 38 of the Ceridian Annual Report K. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS In 1995, Comdata extended its contract arrangements with IBM Global Services for substantially all data processing functions for a term of ten years. Under the terms of the agreement as amended, the minimum monthly fee was $1.4 in 1997, $1.6 in 1998 and $1.8 in 1999 and thereafter. The expenses incurred under these contract arrangements were $23.1 in 1999, $20.8 in 1998 and $17.6 in 1997. Cancellation of the agreement for convenience in 2000 would require payment of a termination fee of $7.5. Under a Telecommunications Services Agreement with WilTel, Comdata has agreed to purchase a minimum of $1.1 of such services each month until January 2003. Comdata is able to terminate its minimum purchase commitment at such time as it has purchased an aggregate of $45.0 in services under the Agreement. Cancellation of the Agreement for convenience would result in a cancellation charge equal to 12.5% of the average monthly revenue during the last 12 months times the number of full months remaining in the term of such Agreement. Purchases charged to expense under the Agreement and its predecessors amounted to $14.5 in 1999, $17.1 in 1998 and $20.3 in 1997. INTEREST RATE COLLARS During 1999, Ceridian maintained in effect an average notional amount of collars of $991.3 for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on invested customer deposits held in its U.S. tax filing and Canadian payroll trusts. The counterparties to these arrangements are commercial banks with debt ratings of A or better. Under current accounting standards, neither the collar arrangements nor the related trust investments and offsetting liability to customers are reflected in Ceridian's balance sheets. These arrangements, which do not require collateral, require the banks to pay Ceridian the amount by which a certain index of short-term interest rates falls below a specified floor strike level. Alternatively, when that index exceeds a specified cap strike level, Ceridian is required to pay out the excess above the cap strike level. At December 31, 1999, Ceridian had fourteen collar transactions in effect with an aggregate notional amount of $1,069.2, remaining terms of 5 to 53 months, floor strike levels ranging from 4.75% to 6.0% (averaging 5.22%) and cap strike levels ranging from 5.6% to 8.18% (averaging 6.78%). The risk of accounting loss through non-performance by the counterparties under any of these arrangements is considered negligible. From Page 39 of the Ceridian Annual Report L. LEGAL MATTERS Ceridian and its subsidiaries are involved in a number of judicial and administrative proceedings considered normal in the nature of its current and past operations, including employment-related disputes, contract disputes, government proceedings, customer disputes and tort claims. In some proceedings, the claimant seeks damages as well as other relief, which, if granted, would require substantial expenditures on the part of Ceridian or its subsidiaries. Some of these matters raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, and are subject to many uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the facts and circumstances of each particular action, and the jurisdiction, forum and law under which each action is proceeding. Because of this complexity, final disposition of some of these proceedings may not occur for several years. As such, Ceridian is not always able to estimate the amount of its possible future liabilities related to these matters. There can be no certainty that Ceridian may not ultimately incur charges in excess of presently or future established accruals or insurance coverage. Although occasional adverse decisions (or settlements) may occur, it is the opinion of management that the final disposition of these proceedings will not, considering the merits of the claims and established reserves, have a material adverse effect on Ceridian. SECURITIES LITIGATION SETTLEMENT In 1997, Ceridian and ten of its current and former executive officers were named as defendants in the consolidated class action complaint filed by five Ceridian shareholders in U.S. District Court in Minnesota. The lawsuit arose out of Ceridian's announcement, on August 26, 1997, that it had decided to terminate further development of its CII payroll processing software system. The named plaintiffs, who purport to act on behalf of a class of purchasers of Ceridian common stock during the period from January 23, 1996 to August 26, 1997, alleged in their consolidated complaint that the defendants provided false and misleading information regarding the development of the CII system and the impact that system would have on Ceridian's future operations, concealed problems with the development of the CII system and improperly capitalized the costs of the CII development effort, thereby overstating Ceridian's financial results during the development period. On March 31, 1999, the U.S. District Court dismissed the suit, but permitted the plaintiffs to file an amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint dated May 28, 1999. On January 3, 2000, the U.S. District Court preliminarily approved a settlement of this litigation. A hearing with the U.S. District Court to finalize the settlement is scheduled for March 21, 2000. Ceridian and the individual defendants deny any wrongdoing or liability related to the lawsuit, but have concluded that further conduct of the litigation would be expensive and protracted. It is the opinion of management that the proposed settlement of $5 million plus up to $175,000 in administrative costs, a portion of which will be covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on Ceridian's financial position or results of operations.
