UNISYS CORPORATION

ELECTED OFFICER PENSION PLAN

AS AMENDED AND RESTATED

EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2009

ARTICLE I

PURPOSE

1.01 The Plan was previously adopted by the Company to provide a minimum level of retirement benefits for elected Officers (as defined in Section 2.12 below) of the Company. The Plan originally became effective June 1, 1988, and was previously amended and restated several times since its effective date. The Plan was frozen effective after December 31, 2006, so that no additional benefits may be accrued thereunder after December 31, 2006. The Plan is now hereby further amended and restated effective January 1, 2009 to implement changes required pursuant to and consistent with section 409A of the Code. Benefit payments on or after January 1, 2009 are generally governed by this Plan document as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009. Plan benefit payments commencing prior to January 1, 2009 are governed by the terms of the Plan as they existed prior to this amendment and restatement and are either grandfathered from the requirements of section 409A or payable pursuant to a fixed schedule as required by, and in compliance with, section 409A. Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2008 the Plan has been operated in accordance with transition relief established by the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Code section 409A. This amendment and restatement is adopted in conformity with final regulations under section 409A of the Code issued by the Treasury Department on April 10, 2007 and effective January 1, 2009. The Plan as set forth herein only applies to those Participants in the Plan who are entitled to commence a benefit from the Plan after December 31, 2008, but does not apply to any Participant’s Pre-2005 Benefit (as defined in Section 2.17 below). Any Participant who is entitled to commence his or her Pre-2005 Benefit from the Plan after December 31, 2008, and (a) who terminated employment prior to January 1, 2005, shall have the terms and conditions of his or her Pre-2005 Benefit governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on the date of his or her termination of employment, or (b) who terminates employment at any time on or after January 1, 2005, shall have the terms and conditions of his or her Pre-2005 Benefit governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004. All capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Article II below, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
