As of September 1, 2020, Goldschmied will no longer be a “Group 1” executive.  As a consequence, it is understood and agreed that his obligations with respect to trading in Ceridian securities as a Group 1 executive will cease as of that date.

Regardless of whether or not this Release is executed, Goldschmied will be paid all salary or wages, vested and unused paid days off, and all other amounts to which he is entitled to by law accrued and owing as at the Employment Separation Date, less all legally required or authorized withholding.

2.02 Ceridian will, upon execution of the Agreement and Release as set out in Section 2.01 above:

(a) With respect to the base salary component of Goldschmied’s remuneration, provide Goldschmied 18 months base salary, which amount will be comprised of:

(i) 4 months base salary during the Working Notice Period (being One Hundred Fifty-Two Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Dollars ($152,280.00) (CAD) less statutory deductions, paid by way of regular semi-monthly salary payments; and

(ii) 14 months base salary in lieu of notice, being Five Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Two Dollars ($532,980.00) (CAD) less statutory deductions, which amount is inclusive of all statutory notice and/or severance due to Goldschmied, and will be payable by way of a lump sum payment, following the execution of Release contemplated in Section 2.01 above (the “Payment Date”);

(b) Pay Goldschmied, on the Payment Date, a lump sum payment equal to Goldschmied’s 2020 Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) compensation (at target level), to which he would have become entitled for 2020 based on the 2020 MIP metrics, in the amount Two Hundred Seventy-Four Thousand One Hundred Four Dollars ($274,104.00) (CAD) payable on the Payment Date.  For clarity, this payment will be provided to Goldschmied regardless as to whether, or at what rate, MIP payments are provided to other similarly situated Ceridian employees. The Performance Stock Units which were granted as a portion of Goldschmied’s 2020 MIP compensation will not vest and have been compensated by way of a cash payment in this clause 2.02(b);

(c) Provide Goldschmied a payment in the amount of $10,000 CAD (on the Payment Date) for reasonable executive-level outplacement and transition services, legal fees and/or financial advice in respect of this separation and career transition;;

(d) Continue, upon approval of the benefits carrier, all health and dental benefit plans in which Goldschmied and any of his dependents are currently enrolled, which benefits will terminate at the end

of the Consulting Term.  All other business travel accident, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term and long-term disability, and other insurance coverage to which Goldschmied has been entitled as a Ceridian employee, will terminate on the Employment Separation Date, having satisfied the statutory notice period during the Working Notice Period.

2.03 Subject to section 3.03 of this Agreement, all issued and outstanding Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units granted to Goldschmied will be handled in accordance with the terms of the Plans, as applicable, and the option agreements governing such Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units and underlying shares.

2.04 Other than as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, the consideration and other benefits as set forth in this Section 2 will constitute the full amount of monies and other consideration to be paid to Goldschmied by Ceridian with respect to and in connection with the termination of his employment, including but not limited to (i) any amounts under Ceridian’s incentive or bonus programs for periods completed prior to or following the Employment Separation Date, (ii) any amounts under the Employment Agreement, and (iii) any amounts owing or claimed to be owing to Goldschmied pursuant to the terms of any other compensation arrangement to which he was subject during the term of his employment with Ceridian.

Section 3. Engagement of Goldschmied as a Consultant

3.01 Provided Goldschmied signs Schedule A following his Employment Separation Date, then Ceridian agrees to engage Goldschmied as an independent contractor to perform the Consulting Services, and Goldschmied agrees to make himself reasonably accessible and available to Ceridian throughout the Consulting Term, on an independent contractor/consulting basis to provide the Consulting Services as may be requested from time to time by Ceridian.

3.02 Ceridian shall reimburse Goldschmied for reasonable and demonstrable expenses directly incurred in carrying out his responsibilities under this Agreement, which may include, by way of example only, reasonable travel expenses.  Goldschmied shall not have the authority to charge any expenses to Ceridian without its prior approval, nor to execute any contracts or other documents on Ceridian’s behalf.

(a) if and to the extent Goldschmied provides (at the request of Ceridian) Consulting Services, Goldschmied shall be entitled to charge a daily rate in the amount of $2,000 (CAD).  Goldschmied shall set forth such monthly fee in an itemized invoice to be submitted by Goldschmied to Ceridian within 10 business days of the end of such calendar month.  Payment of each invoice shall be made by Ceridian not later than the 30^th day of the month following that month for which the invoice is issued, less deductions for any advances made to Goldschmied, and for any expenses paid to Goldschmied on his behalf.  Upon Goldschmied’s production of proof that he is registered respecting the Goods and Services Tax, Ceridian shall remit the required taxes to Goldschmied in respect of payments for such Consulting Services;

(b) as additional consideration (over and above the payments contemplated in 3.02(a)) for the Consulting Services, Goldschmied shall be permitted to keep his existing Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units, which Options and Restricted Stock Units shall continue under the same terms and conditions as provided under the Plans, as applicable, and the option agreements governing such Stock Options and underlying shares.  Goldschmied’s Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest until the earlier of:

(i) the expiration of the Consulting Term; or

(ii) the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with the written terms hereof.

However, and for the avoidance of doubt, in the event Goldschmied breaches any term of this Agreement (including without limitation, his obligations as set forth in Section 3.06 or 5), then in addition to any other

rights or remedies Ceridian may have at law or in equity, the Consulting Services shall automatically terminate, this Section 3 shall become null and void, all Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units will be handled solely in accordance with the original terms of the Plans, as applicable,  and the option agreements governing such Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units and underlying shares, and any Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units which may have vested during the Consulting Term shall immediately be forfeited.

(b) by Goldschmied by giving Ceridian Dayforce thirty (30) days advance written notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Ceridian is able to show a breach of this agreement, Goldschmied shall be considered to have breached the Agreement for the purposes of Section 3.03.  The Consulting Services shall also terminate without notice or pay in lieu thereof in case of the death of Goldschmied, or by reason of illness or accident whereby Goldschmied is incapable of carrying out the terms and conditions of this Agreement for one (1) month, or upon the bankruptcy of either party.

3.08 On termination of the Consulting Services, Goldschmied shall:

Goldschmied will not use any pre-existing intellectual property including any trade secret, invention, work of authorship, mask work or protectable design that has already been conceived or developed by anyone other than Ceridian in connection with the Consulting Services unless Goldschmied has the right to use it for Ceridian’s benefit.
