CORPORATION
AMENDED AND RESTATED
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
|
1)
|
|
Purpose . The purpose of the Wright Express
Corporation Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan (the
“Plan”) is to enable directors of Wright Express
Corporation (the “Company”) who are not also employees
of the Company to defer the receipt of certain compensation earned
in their capacity as non-employee directors of the
Company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2)
|
|
Eligibility;
Participation . Directors of the Company who are
not also employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
(“Directors”) are eligible to participate in the Plan.
An eligible Director may commence participation by submitting to
the Committee (as defined below) or its designee, a written
election to defer eligible compensation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3)
|
|
Administration
. The Plan shall be
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Committee”). The
Committee shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations
for carrying out the Plan’s intent and to interpret, construe
and implement the provisions thereof. Determinations made by the
Committee with respect to the Plan, any deferral made hereunder and
any Director’s account shall be final and binding on all
persons, including but not limited to the Company, each Director
participating in the Plan and such Director’s
beneficiaries.

Deferral of Fees
. Subject to such rules
and procedures that the Committee may establish from time to time,
and subject to any determinations of the Company to pay
compensation to Directors from time to time, a Director may elect
to defer under the Plan all or a portion of his or her annual
retainer fees, as well as such other fees, stipends, incentive
awards and other payments determined by the Committee to be
eligible for deferral from time to time that are, in each case,
otherwise payable in cash and restricted stock units (or other
equity-based forms of payment) in accordance with the
Company’s policies as in effect from time to time (such
compensation, collectively, “Fees”).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
order to defer all or any portion of a Director’s Fees, the
Director must complete a deferral election in such form
, and at such
time, as
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
An initial deferral
election may be made within 30 days after becoming a
non-employee Director of the Company and shall apply to Fees for
services to be performed subsequent to making the election. A
Director who does not make an election within such 30-day period
may make an election to defer Fees for services to be performed in
a subsequent calendar year by submitting a deferral election in
advance of such year pursuant to procedures established by the
Committee. Once a Director has elected to defer
any portion of the Director’s Fees, the election shall
continue in force for the remainder of the Director’s service
as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company
, and shall be
irrevocable for the first calendar year to which it
applies; provided, however,
that a
Director may , however,
revoke his or her
deferral election for subsequent calendar years. Such revocation
shall remain in effect until the Director submits a new deferral
election pursuant to the procedures established by the
Committee.

|
Form of Deferral
. The Company shall
establish a separate deferred compensation account on its books in
the name of each Director who has elected to participate in the
Plan. A number of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the
Company’s 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan or a successor plan)
(the “Stock Plan”) payable in shares of Company common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Company Stock”) or,
in the Committee’s discretion, cash shall be credited to each
such Director’s account as of each date (a “Deferral
Date”)
