CDK GLOBAL, INC. 
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The CDK Global, Inc., Deferred Compensation Plan is intended to provide a select group of management or highly-compensated employees the ability to defer certain compensation earned by such employees.  It is intended that this Plan will be supplemented by annual summaries describing the Plan and participation in the Plan for the applicable Plan Year; in the event of a conflict between the Plan and an annual summary, the terms of the Plan shall control.  Eligible Employees who were participants in the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “ADP Plan”) immediately prior to the Effective Date (i) shall automatically become Participants in this Plan on the Effective Date, (ii) shall have initial Accounts established under this Plan in the same amounts as their corresponding Accounts under the ADP Plan (provided that the Company Stock Unit Subaccount shall be credited on the Effective Date as provided in Section 4.4) and (iii) shall have their prior elections in respect of their corresponding Accounts under the ADP Plan carryover and apply to their initial Accounts under this Plan.
This amendment and restatement is effective as of November 6, 2018.

2.3    Amendment of Eligibility Criteria.  The Committee may, in its discretion, change which employees are Eligible Employees under the Plan for any reason, including to comply with any applicable laws relating to the operation of the Plan.  Eligibility for participation in one Plan Year does not guarantee eligibility to participate in any future Plan Year.

ARTICLE III     
ELECTIONS

3.1    Election to Defer Annual Incentive Amounts.
(a)    Timing of Election to Defer Annual Incentive Amounts.  An Eligible Employee may elect to defer Annual Incentive Amounts (to the extent provided for on the enrollment forms or enrollment system for a Plan Year, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee) only during the Enrollment Period.
(b)    Amount Eligible for Deferral.
(1)    An Eligible Employee may elect to defer between 0% and 100% of his Annual Incentive Amounts, as may be determined by the Committee.  The Committee may change the amount or percentage that may be deferred in respect of any Plan Year at any time, or from time to time.
(2)    If necessary, the total amount deferred by a Participant shall be reduced in 1% increments in order to satisfy Social Security Tax (including Medicare), income tax withholding for compensation that cannot be deferred, employee benefit plan withholding requirements and any other withholding requirements.
(c)    Irrevocable Elections.  Elections to defer Annual Incentive Amounts shall become irrevocable as of the date for such Plan Year set by the Committee in its sole discretion, which (i) in the case of an Annual Bonus Payment shall in no event be later than six months before the conclusion of the performance period with respect to which the Annual Bonus Payment relates, and (ii) in the case of a Qualifying Sales Bonus shall in no event be later than the December 31 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the Qualifying Sales Bonus will be earned.
(d)    Duration of Election.  An Eligible Employee’s election to defer Annual Incentive Amounts for any Plan Year is effective only for such Plan Year.
(e)    Method of Election.  Elections to participate may be made in writing, through an electronic medium such as a website enrollment window or an email enrollment form or through a Plan Administrator, provided that the election is binding when made and there is sufficient record of when such election is made.

3.2    Elections as to Time and Form of Payment.  During the Enrollment Period, a Participant shall make an election regarding the time and form of payment of the Annual Incentive Amounts deferred for that Plan Year (and all earnings and losses (based on the Investment Rate) attributable thereto, including in respect of Dividend Equivalents).
(a)    Elections as to Time.  A Participant shall elect to receive a distribution of his Annual Incentive Amounts to be deferred for a Plan Year (and all earnings and losses (based on the Investment Rate) attributable thereto, including in respect of Dividend Equivalents) (i) on an In-Service Distribution Date, (ii) on a Separation from Service Distribution Date or (iii) a portion on an In-Service Distribution Date and a portion on a Separation from Service Distribution Date; provided, however, that a Participant’s In-Service Distribution Date may be no earlier than the year following the year in which the deferral of Annual Incentive Amounts is made.
(b)    Elections as to Form.  A Participant shall elect the form of the distribution of his Annual Incentive Amounts upon his Separation from Service Distribution Date, and a separate form of distribution of any amounts elected to be received on an In-Service Distribution Date. Payment will be made in a lump sum unless the Participant elects to receive payment in in substantially equal annual installments up to 15 years, as elected.  A Participant’s election to receive payment in annual installments on a Separation from Service is subject to the terms of Section 6.2(a)(2).
(c)    Application of Election.  An election as to time and form of payment made with respect to a given Plan Year shall apply only to the Annual Incentive Amounts deferred for such Plan Year.
(d)    No Changes Permitted.  Except as permitted by Section 3.2(e) below, elections as to time and form of payment shall become irrevocable as of the date set forth in Section 3.1(c).
(e)    Subsequent Changes in Time and Form of Payment.  For each Plan Year account, a Participant may separately elect to modify his Separation from Service Distribution Date payment election or his In-Service Distribution Date payment election. provided such subsequent deferral election meets all of the following requirements and the election rules set forth in Section 3.2(f):
(i)    the subsequent deferral election is irrevocable when submitted to the Committee and takes effect 12 months after the date submitted;
(ii)    the election must be made at least 12 months prior to the date the payment is scheduled to be made, or for installment payments, at least 12 months prior to the date the first of such installments is scheduled to be made; and
(iii)    the subsequent deferral election must delay the Separation from Service Distribution Date or In-Service Distribution Date, as is applicable, for at least five years after the distribution date in effect prior to modification .  For installment payments, the delay is measured from the date the first payment was scheduled to be made.
(f)    Election Rules.
(i)    Initial elections and subsequent elections, if any, must be made in writing, which may include any electronic medium such as a website enrollment,   email enrollment or such other form  approved by the Plan Administrator, provided that there is sufficient record of when such election is made.
(ii)    A Participant may make only one subsequent deferral election with respect to each of his Separation from Service Distribution Date election or his In-Service Distribution Date election  for a specific Plan Year.
(iii)  A Participant’s modification of his Separation from Service Distribution Date election or form of payment is independent from and does not affect the amount payable or the form of payment for any In-Service Distribution Date election in effect for such Plan Year. Similarly, a Participant’s subsequent election to change his In-Service Payment Date or form of payment is independent from and does not affect the amount payable or the form of payment for his Separation from Service Distribution Date election in effect for such Plan Year.

3.3    Elections as to Deemed Investment Choices.
(a)    Prior to the date on which the actual deferral of an Annual Incentive Amount in respect of Plan Year is made by the Company, a Participant shall make an election regarding how such Annual Incentive Amount shall be deemed to be invested for purposes of determining the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to the Participant’s Accounts.  If no such election is made in respect of Annual Incentive Amounts deferred in any Plan Year, then (i) the Participant shall be deemed to have made the same election made by such Participant in respect of the most recent Plan Year in which there was a deferral of Annual Incentive Amounts, and (ii) if no election contemplated by clause (i) has been made, the deferred Annual Incentive Amounts shall be deemed invested in the most risk-free type of Fund, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b)    Dividend Equivalents shall be deemed to be invested in the Fund specified for such purpose by the Committee from time to time and communicated to the Participant, and if no such communication is made, in the most risk-free type of Fund, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion.
(c)    The Committee shall select from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, investments of various types that shall be communicated to the Participant.  The Investment Rate applicable to each Fund shall be used to determine the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to Participant’s Bonus Deferral Subaccount and Company Matching Contribution Subaccount (and the portion of the Company Stock Unit Subaccount attributable solely to Dividend Equivalents).  Deemed investment choices shall not be changed unless the Committee promulgates a rule of general application permitting such changes.

ARTICLE IV     
DEFERRAL ACCOUNTS

4.1    Bonus Deferral Subaccount.  The Company or Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain a Bonus Deferral Subaccount for each Participant under the Plan.  Each Participant’s Bonus Deferral Subaccount shall be further divided into separate subaccounts (“investment fund subaccounts”), each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant.  A Participant’s Bonus Deferral Subaccount shall be credited as follows:
(a)    on the day the amounts are withheld and/or deferred from a Participant’s Annual Incentive Amounts, with an amount equal to the Annual Incentive Amounts deferred by the Participant; and
(b)    on a daily basis, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant’s Bonus Deferral Subaccount shall be credited with earnings or losses based on the applicable Investment Rate.

4.2    No Company Matching Contributions.  Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no Company Matching Contributions shall be made with respect to Annual Incentive Amounts earned and deferred by a Participant with respect to any Plan Year commencing after June 30, 2014.  For the sake of clarity, any amounts in a Participant’s Company Matching Contribution Subaccount relate to former matching contributions received in respect of such Participant’s previous participation in the ADP Plan.

4.3    Company Matching Contribution Subaccount.  The Company or Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain a Company Matching Contribution Subaccount for each Participant who receives a Company Matching Contribution under the Plan (and for each Participant who had a prior Company Matching Contribution Subaccount in respect of such Participant’s previous participation in the ADP Plan).  A Participant’s Company Matching Contribution Subaccount shall be further divided into separate investment fund subaccounts, each of which corresponds to a Fund elected by the Participant.  A Participant’s Company Matching Contribution Subaccount shall be credited as follows:
(a)    on the day such amount is deemed contributed, with an amount equal to the Company Matching Contribution Amount, if any; and
(b)    on a daily basis, each investment fund subaccount of a Participant’s Company Matching Contribution Subaccount shall be credited with earnings or losses based on the applicable Investment Rate.

4.4    Company Stock Unit Subaccount.  The Company or Plan Administrator shall establish and maintain a Company Stock Unit Subaccount for each Participant who previously elected to defer receipt of a PBRS Award.  A Participant’s Company Stock Unit Subaccount shall be credited as follows:
(a)    on the day shares of Company Common Stock would otherwise be issued to the Participant under the PBRS Program, with a number of Company stock units equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock earned by the Participant under the PBRS Program; and
(b)    on the day dividends are paid to stockholders of the Company in respect of shares of Company Common Stock, an amount equal to the Dividend Equivalents; and
(c)    on a daily basis, the investment fund subaccount of a Participant’s Company Stock Unit Subaccount shall be credited with earnings or losses on the Dividend Equivalents based on the applicable Investment Rate.
In the case of a Participant who had a Company Stock Unit Subaccount under the ADP Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, such Participant’s corresponding Company Stock Unit Subaccount under this Plan shall be initially credited with (x) the cash balance in such ADP Plan Company Stock Unit Subaccount as of the Effective Date and (y) a number of Company stock units equal to the number of stock units credited in such ADP Plan Company Stock Unit Subaccount multiplied by the Dealer Equity Conversion Ratio (as defined in the Employee Matters Agreement).

ARTICLE V     
VESTING

5.1    Vesting.  A Participant shall be 100% vested at all times in his or her Bonus Deferral Subaccount.  A Participant shall vest in his or her Company Matching Contribution Account at the time such Participant either (i) attains 65 years of age, or (ii) attains ten (10) years of Continuous Service credited with the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Committee in its sole discretion may credit a Participant with additional periods of service solely for purposes of vesting in his or her Company Matching Contribution Account.  A Participant shall vest in his or her Company Stock Unit Subaccount with respect to the Company stock units therein attributable to a PBRS Award on the date on which such PBRS Award would otherwise have vested had the Participant not elected to defer receipt of the Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to such PBRS Award.  A Participant shall be 100% vested at all times in the portion of his or her Company Stock Unit Subaccount attributable to Dividend Equivalents (and earnings and losses attributable thereto), notwithstanding that the underlying Company stock units in respect of which such Dividend Equivalents are credited may not yet have vested  

5.2    Vesting Upon Death or Disability.  Upon death or the Disability of a Participant, the Participant shall be 100% vested in his or her Company Matching Contribution Subaccount.

ARTICLE VI     
DISTRIBUTIONS
Distributions from the Plan shall be made only in accordance with this Article VI.  All distributions shall be in cash, except as otherwise may occur pursuant to Section 6.3, or as provided in Section 6.5, in either case, in respect of PBRS Awards.

6.1    Distribution of Accounts While Employed.
(a)    Scheduled Distributions.
(1)    In respect of all Distributable Amounts payable in a lump sum on an In-Service Distribution Date, the value thereof shall be determined as of such In-Service Distribution Date, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter.  In respect of all Distributable Amounts payable in installments on an In-Service Distribution Date, all installments shall be valued as of the ninth day of the month of September in each applicable year, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively practicable (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter.  Upon the death of a Participant, any Distributable Amounts of the Participant then in pay status pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(1) shall thereafter be payable in accordance with Section 6.2(b).
(2)    In the event a Participant has a Separation from Service prior to such Participant’s In-Service Distribution Date, the In-Service Distribution Date election will not apply and the provisions of Section 6.2 shall instead apply to the Participant’s entire Plan Year account.  For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant has elected an In-Service Distribution Date with respect to Distributable Amounts under the Plan and such Participant has a Separation from Service (other than on account of death) following such In-Service Distribution Date, the provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall govern the payment of such amounts, and the provisions of Section 6.2(a) shall not apply.
(b)    Except as provided in Section 6.3, no unscheduled in-service distributions are permitted.

6.2    Distribution of Accounts after Separation from Service, Death or Disability.  If a Participant has a Separation from Service dies or experiences a Disability, the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall apply to the distribution of the Participant’s Accounts.
(a)    Separation from Service.
(1)    Age 55 with Ten Years of Continuous Service, or Age 65.  At the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, if the Participant has either (i) attained age 55 and has completed ten years of Continuous Service, or (ii) attained age 65, then the Participant’s Account, (excluding the portion of his Account that has commenced payment under Section 6.1)shall be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections in effect for each Plan Year.
(A)    Lump Sum.  For Distributable Amounts for which the Participant has elected (or is deemed to have elected) a lump sum, the value thereof shall be determined as of the Participant’s Separation from Service Distribution Date, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter.  If (i) a Participant has made an irrevocable election to defer his Annual Incentive Amounts, (ii) such Annual Incentive Amounts are deferred after the Participant’s Account has been distributed, and (iii) the Participant had elected to receive a lump sum distribution, then the additional Account balance shall be valued and distributed on the ninth day of the month immediately following the date the Annual Incentive Amounts are deferred.
(B)    Installment Payments.  For Distributable Amounts for which the Participant has elected installments, (i) the first installment shall be valued as of the Participant’s Separation from Service Distribution Date, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter, and (ii) each subsequent installment shall be valued as of the ninth day of September of each of the following calendar years, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter.  For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall two installments be paid in a single calendar year.  If (x) a Participant has made an irrevocable election to defer his Annual Incentive, (y) such Annual Incentive is deferred after the Participant’s Account has started to be distributed, and (z) the Participant had elected to receive installment payments, the additional deferral shall be added to the Participant’s balance in his Bonus Deferral Subaccount and shall be distributed in accordance with the installment election.
(2)    All other Separations from Service.  If, at the time of the Participant’s Separation from Service, a Participant has neither (i) attained age 55 and has completed ten years of Continuous Service nor (ii) attained age 65, then the Participant’s entire Account balance (including any portion thereof that has commenced payment under Section 6.1) shall be distributed in a single lump sum.  In any such case, the Distributable Amounts shall be valued as of the Participant’s Separation from Service Distribution Date, and the distribution thereof shall be made as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) thereafter.
(b)    Death.  In the case of the death of a Participant, either while employed by the Company or after termination of employment and prior to distribution of the Participant’s entire Account balance, the Participant’s Account balance (including on account of an In-Service Distribution Date) shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary as soon as administratively possible and in no event later than 90 days following the death of the Participant.  The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which the Participant dies.
(c)    Disability.  In the case of the Disability of a Participant prior to the commencement of distribution of the Participant’s Account balance, the Participant’s Account balance shall be distributed to the Participant in a lump sum as soon as administratively possible (and in no event later than 90 days) after it has been determined by the Committee that the Participant suffers from a Disability.  The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which it has been determined by the Committee that the Participant suffers from a Disability.

6.3    Unforeseeable Emergency.  A Participant shall be permitted to elect a distribution from his Bonus Deferral Subaccount, vested Company Matching Contribution Subaccount and/or vested Company Stock Unit Subaccount, if any, prior to the date the Accounts were otherwise to be distributed in the event of an Unforeseeable Emergency, subject to the following restrictions:
(a)    the election to take a distribution due to an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be made by requesting such a distribution in writing to the Committee, including the amount requested and a description of the need for the distribution;
(b)    the Committee shall make a determination, in its sole discretion, that the requested distribution is on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency; and
(c)    the Unforeseeable Emergency cannot be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship, or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under this Plan.
The amount determined by the Committee as distributable due to an Unforeseeable Emergency shall be paid within 30 days after the request for the distribution is approved by the Committee.  The value of the Participant’s Account shall be determined as of the date on which the distribution request was made.

6.4    Valuation Date.  In the event that any valuation date contemplated by Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 is not a business day, then the valuation date shall be the immediately preceding business day.

6.5    PBRS Awards.  All distributions from the Company Stock Unit Subaccount attributable to deferrals of PBRS Awards (but not Dividend Equivalents or earnings and losses attributable to such Dividend Equivalents) shall be made in the form of one share of Company Common Stock for each Company stock unit therein.  All shares of Company Common Stock ultimately distributed in respect of Company stock units under the Company Stock Unit Subaccount will be issued under the 2014 Omnibus Award Plan (or any successor plan).

8.2    Claim Decision.  The Committee shall provide written notice of its decision to the Claimant within 90 days after the initial claim was filed.  If more than 90 days are necessary for the Committee to deliver a reply, the Committee will notify the Claimant in writing during the initial 90 day period indicating the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Committee expects to reply to the claim.
If a claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the written notice shall include the following:
(a)    specific reason for the denial;
(b)    specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based;

Any Claimant whose claim has been denied in whole or in part may request a review of the decision by the Committee within 60 days of receiving the written notice of the denial of benefits.  In connection with any such review, the Claimant or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative shall be provided, upon request, reasonable access to pertinent documents used by the Committee to deny the claim.  The Committee or its delegate shall provide written notice of its decision upon review to the Claimant within 60 days after the request for review was filed, unless special circumstances require an extension in which case a decision shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.  If more than 60 days are necessary for the Committee to deliver a reply, the Committee will notify the Claimant in writing during the initial 60 day period.  The decision shall include specific reasons and references to the provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based.  The notice shall state that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claim for benefits.

No legal or equitable action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the claimant has exhausted the remedies under the Plan’s claims procedures by submitting a written claim for benefits in accordance with Section 8.1, receiving notification that the claim is denied in accordance with Section 8.2, filing a written request for a review of the claim in accordance with Section 8.3, and receiving written notification that the Committee has affirmed the final denial of the appeal in accordance with Section 8.3.

ARTICLE IX     
MISCELLANEOUS

9.1    Unsecured General Creditor.  Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Company.  No assets of the Company shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Company under this Plan.  Any and all of the Company’s assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Company.  The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors.  It is the intention of the Company that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

9.2    Restriction Against Assignment.  The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation.  No part of a Participant’s Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant’s Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, a Participant shall be permitted to instruct the Committee (which instruction shall be effective unless the Committee disapproves the instruction) that all or a portion of his or her Accounts be assigned and conveyed to another person or entity pursuant to a domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code), and payments pursuant to any such Accounts (or portion thereof) that have been so assigned and conveyed may be paid to such other person or entity in accordance therewith (and to the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code).

9.3    Withholding.  There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes which are required to be withheld by the Company in respect to such payment or this Plan.  The Company shall have the right to reduce any payment (or compensation), or the amount credited to a Participant’s Account, by the amount of cash (or equivalent value of Company stock units, as applicable, as determined by the Committee) sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

9.4    Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination.  The Compensation Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part, except that no amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce any amounts allocated to a Participant’s Accounts.  The Committee may also amend the Plan, provided that the Committee may only adopt amendments that (i) do not have a negative material financial impact on the Company; or (ii) are required by tax or legal statutes, regulations or pronouncements.

9.5    Governing Law.  Except to extent preempted by Federal law, this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed wholly within the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

9.6    Receipt or Release.  Any payment to a Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Committee and the Company.  The Committee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

9.7    Limitation of Rights and Employment Relationship.  Neither the establishment of the Plan nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant, or Beneficiary or other person any legal or equitable right against the Company except as provided in the Plan; and in no event shall the terms of employment of any Employee or Participant be modified or in any way be affected by the provisions of the Plan.

9.8    Headings.  Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

9.9    Section 409A.  All provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).  If the Committee determines that any amounts payable hereunder may be taxable to a Participant under Section 409A, the Company may (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to avoid or limit the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A; provided, that the Company shall have no liability to a Participant or Beneficiary with respect to the tax imposed by Section 409A.
