(hereinafter referred to as the “Company”).
 
In exchange for the mutual promises contained herein, Executive and the Company,
intending to be bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows:
 
1.           Executive’s employment with the Company will terminate at the close
of business on December 31, 2014 (the “Separation Date”).   As of December 31,
2014, Executive will cease to be an officer of the Company.
 
2.           The Company and Executive further agree to the following:
 
(a)         The Company will pay Executive a separation payment in the total
gross amount of $530,500.    This separation payment shall be paid out in 12
equal monthly installments of $44,208.33 per month (the “Monthly Installments”)
between the Separation Date and the one year anniversary of the Separation
Date.   The Monthly Installments shall be made on the Company’s regular monthly
pay dates.
 
(b)         Executive shall be entitled to be paid a bonus in accordance with
the Company’s customary cycle (based upon a full year target bonus of $424,000)
in respect of FY’14 in accordance with achievement of the associated performance
objectives.  Executive shall also be entitled to be paid a bonus in respect of
the first six months of FY’15 equal to $212,000; such bonus shall be paid to
Executive on or prior to December 31, 2014.
 
(c)         With respect to the Company’s performance based restricted share and

11,000 PSU units, subject to the achievement of the Company’s performance goals

of September 1, 2016.  All other terms of the PBRS and PSU programs shall remain
in full force and effect.
 
(d)         The Company will pay Executive for her accrued and unused vacation
as of the Separation Date.
 
(e)         The Company will reimburse Executive for outstanding expenses
properly incurred through the Separation Date that are submitted to the Company

expenses will be reimbursed in accordance with the Company’s existing policy.
 
(f)         The Company will allow Executive to keep the car leased to her by

benefits (medical, dental, vision, wellness, life, long-term disability,
Flexible Spending Accounts (“FSA”), Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance,
Business Travel Accident Insurance, Personal Accident Insurance and any other
welfare benefits the Company may provide) will terminate effective the
Separation Date.  This paragraph (g) shall not be deemed to affect the
conversion rights under any life insurance plans.  Executive will have the right
to continue medical, dental, prescription drug, vision and FSA benefits as
permitted by law under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(“COBRA”) and will not incur a break in service if she elects COBRA.  Executive
will be separately notified of conversion privileges, if any, for Executive’s
other health and welfare benefits.  Unless otherwise specifically stated herein,
nothing in the Agreement constitutes a waiver of any claim for health or long
term disability benefits that accrue prior to the Separation Date.  Such claims
will be processed according to the terms and conditions of the controlling plan
documents.  Those plans have not been modified in any way by the Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(h)         Executive agrees to abide by all of the terms and conditions of
agreements with the Company executed in connection with all ADP stock options or
restricted stock previously granted to Executive (the “Stock Agreements”), and
that any non-competition period, as defined in any such Stock Agreements, shall
not terminate until 24 months after the Separation Date.  All outstanding
unvested ADP stock options previously granted to Executive will continue to vest
through December 31, 2018, and Executive shall have until January 31, 2019 to
exercise any outstanding vested options.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A)
Executive shall only have until January 31, 2018 to exercise any outstanding
vested options under Executive’s stock option grant dated January 31, 2008 and
(B) all vested stock options must be exercised prior to their original
expiration date, regardless of the exercise periods set forth herein.  All
vested stock options that are not exercised within the time periods set forth
above will be cancelled.
 
(i)          Executive understands and acknowledges that for a period of six (6)
months following her last date of active employment she will continue to be a
“Restricted Person” as such term is used in the Company’s Insider Trading
Policy, and she will continue to abide by all rules and limitations applicable
thereunder to Restricted Persons.
 
(j)          For purposes of the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Retirement and
Savings Plan and/or the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Pension Retirement Plan
(collectively referred to as the “Plans”), Executive will be considered a
terminated employee as of the Separation Date.  As such, contributions, vesting,
matches and other service based benefits, rights and features accorded to
employees have terminated as of the close of the Separation Date.   For the
purpose of clarity, Executive shall be entitled to a Company match of any
contributions made by Executive to the Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Retirement and Savings Plan through the end of calendar 2014.  All the terms and
conditions of the Plans will be governed by the controlling plan documents.  The
Plans have not been modified in any way by the Agreement.
 
(k)         Executive’s participation in the Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
Amended and Restated Employees’ Savings-Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase

Executive shall be issued stock and/or reimbursed for payments made to the
Purchase Plan in accordance with its terms.
 
(l)          The Company will pay the costs associated with (i) the closing of
the sale of Executive’s home in Morristown, New Jersey, plus (ii) the moving of
her household goods from her Morristown, New Jersey home to another location
agreed to by the Company, up to a total of $125,000.  Any taxes due with respect
to this payment shall be borne by Executive.
 
(m)        Any use of the term “Restrictive Covenant” in the Agreement shall
mean any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, non-disclosure or
confidentiality obligations reflected in the provisions of this Agreement or any
other agreement with the Company that Executive has entered into, or any Company
plan, policy or arrangement that applies to Executive.     If Executive violates
any Restrictive Covenant prior to either the payment of any amounts under this
Agreement or the vesting of any rights or lapsing of any restrictions on any ADP
equity as described hereunder (and as further set forth in paragraph 2(n)
hereunder specifically regarding the SORP), then, in addition to the exercise of
any other rights Company may have as a consequence of such breach, Executive
will have immediately forfeited the receipt of any cash payments otherwise owing
hereunder as well as the benefit of the vesting of any rights or lapsing of any
restrictions on any ADP equity Executive would otherwise expect to receive
hereunder.
 
(n)         Executive is a “Participant” as defined in the Automatic Data
Processing, Inc. Amended and Restated Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan (the
“SORP”).  Executive’s benefits under the SORP shall be determined in accordance
with, and under the terms of, the SORP.  Among other things, the SORP provides
that if a Participant violates the non-competition provisions of any agreement
she has entered into with the Company within 24 months after the Separation
Date, such Participant shall forever and irrevocably forfeit all benefits
otherwise due her under the terms of the SORP.  The SORP will not have been
deemed modified in any way by this Agreement.  For purposes of the 24-month
non-competition provision under the SORP, Executive shall be considered to have
terminated employment with the Company as of the Separation Date.

serving such subpoena or court order provide notice consistent with this
paragraph 3(l).
 
(m)        The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New Jersey.   The parties
agree that the Federal or State courts sitting in Newark, New Jersey shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over the parties with respect to any dispute arising

Agreement.

the parties concerning the subject matter hereof.  Executive acknowledges that

6.           Section 409A:
 
(a)          The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this
Agreement comply with or will be exempt from Internal Revenue Code Section 409A
and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Section
409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall
be interpreted to be exempt from Section 409A or in compliance therewith, as
applicable.
 
(b)          A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred
for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any
amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation under
Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment, unless such
termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section
409A and the
 
 
9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
payment thereof prior to a “separation from service” would violate Section
409A.  For purposes of any such provision of this Agreement relating to any such
payments or benefits, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment”
or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”
 
(c)          The parties agree and acknowledge that on Executive’s Separation
Date, Executive will be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term
under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and any payment or the provision of any benefit that
is considered nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A payable on
account of a “separation from service” which would otherwise be made or provided
during the six (6) month period following Executive’s separation from service
shall instead be made or provided, in lump sum, on the first business day
following the date which is the earlier of (A) the expiration of the six (6)
month period measured from the date of Executive’s “separation from service,”
and (B) the date of Executive’s death.  Any remaining payments and benefits due
under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal
payment dates specified for them herein.
 
(d)          With respect to the payment or provision of any benefit
constituting nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (i) all
expenses or other reimbursements as provided herein shall be payable in
accordance with the Company’s policies in effect from time to time, but in any
event shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following
the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by Executive, (ii) no such
reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall
in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable
year, and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be
subject to liquidation or exchanged for another benefit.
 
(e)         For purposes of Section 409A, Executive’s right to receive any
installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to
receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under
this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days
(e.g., “payment shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date of
termination”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be
within the sole discretion of the Company.
 
 
10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(f)         Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any
representation or warranty by the Company regarding compliance with Section 409A
and none of the Company, its direct or indirect parents, subsidiaries or
affiliates or any of their stockholders, employees or representatives shall have
any liability to Executive with respect thereto.
 
7.           Release:
 
(a)         In consideration for the above, Executive (including any family
members, agents, successors or assigns whose claim is based in whole or part on
a Claim, as defined below) agrees to forever release, acquit and discharge
Automatic Data Processing, Inc. and all its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions
and its and their employees, officers, directors, agents, carriers, and

order, contract, duty or obligation arising from any source which exist as of
the date Executive signs the Agreement (“Claims”).  This release includes all

Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the

costs, and injunctive or other relief.

warrants that the Company owes her no other wages, commissions, bonuses,
vacation pay or other compensation or payments of any nature, other than that
specifically provided for in the Agreement.  Executive further acknowledges that
except as provided for herein, the Company shall not have any obligation to her
or to any other person or entity for any other monies or benefits including, but
not limited to, attorneys’ fees (except as provided below with respect to
indemnification), car allowance, use of a Company car, relocation expenses,
stock, stock options, restricted stock, stock purchase plan, pension, medical,
life, short-term disability, long-term disability or other insurance, ERISA

rights she may have for indemnification under state or other law or the charter,
articles, or by-laws of the Company and its affiliated companies, or under any
indemnification agreement with the Company or under any insurance policy
providing directors’ and officers’ coverage for any lawsuit or claim relating to
the period when she was a director or officer of the Company or any affiliated
company (including in each case and among other things any associated rights to
attorneys’ fees), provided that Executive will not be entitled to assert, and
she hereby waives, any claim for such indemnification and/or insurance coverage
if and to the extent it would compensate her for any amounts owed to the Company
under paragraph 7(c)(ii).
 
(c) (i)   Executive warrants that as of the date hereof (A) she has not filed
any Claim against Releasees and (B) she is unaware of any conduct by any
Releasees that she reasonably believes could form the basis of a material claim
against the Releasees, other than those matters which may have been previously
discussed with members of the Company’s legal department in connection with any
pending or threatened litigation.
 
(ii)        A breach of paragraph 7(c)(i) shall entitle the Releasees to be
indemnified and held harmless for any losses, including attorneys’ fees, as a
consequence of such breach, provided the affected Releasee or Releasees shall
have notified Executive in writing prior to the third anniversary of this
Agreement of a loss or a claim against Releasees arising out of a breach of
paragraph 7(c)(i), and provided further that Executive’s indemnification
obligations hereunder shall be limited to the aggregate amount to be paid to
