Exhibit 10.1


2016 Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan


You have been awarded a number of time-based restricted stock units (the “Stock Units”) under the NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), as described on the time-based restricted stock unit information page on the website (www.netbenefits.fidelity.com) of the third party Plan administrator (the “TPA”) for NCR Corporation (referred to herein as “NCR” or the “Company”), effective as of the date of grant of this award (the “Grant Date”), subject to the terms and conditions of this 2016 Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Plan.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan.
1.Grant of Stock Units.  Subject to Section 2 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, one-third (1/3) of the Stock Units will become vested and non-forfeitable on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date (each a “Vesting Date”), provided that you are continuously employed by NCR or, if different, an Affiliate or Subsidiary of NCR (the “Employer”) through and until the applicable Vesting Date.   The Stock Units are referred to in this Agreement as “Vested” at the time they become vested and non-forfeitable pursuant to this Section 1 or Section 2 below.
2.    Certain Events Resulting in Accelerated Vesting Date.  The Plan provides for what happens in connection with certain events resulting in accelerated vesting of the Award.  The following chart describes the more common events.  Except as otherwise provided below, in the event of your Termination of Employment prior to a Vesting Date for any reason, all unvested Stock Units will automatically terminate and be forfeited and no shares or cash will be issued or paid (as the case may be).

Termination Provisions
	
		
	Termination Event
	Treatment of Stock Units

	Death, Disability, Retirement 
or Involuntary Termination 
(other than for Cause)


	Prorated Vesting—A pro rata portion of the Stock Units shall become Vested immediately upon your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability, Retirement or Involuntary Termination as follows.    The pro rata portion of the Stock Units that will become Vested will be determined by multiplying the total number of Stock Units awarded under this Agreement by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that you completed as an employee of the Company or an Employer during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last Vesting Date for Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date to the last Vesting Date for Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and subtracting from the resulting amount the number of Stock Units that previously vested under this Agreement (if any).





	Change in Control Termination 
or Good Reason Termination
	Full Vesting—All Unvested Stock Units shall become fully Vested immediately upon your Termination of Employment due to a Change in Control Termination or a Good Reason Termination.

	Voluntary Resignation
	Forfeited—Unvested Stock Units will be forfeited.



	Termination for Cause
	Forfeited—Unvested Stock Units will be forfeited.








For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means Termination of Employment as a result of a disability for which you qualify for benefits under the NCR Long-Term Disability Plan or another long-term disability plan sponsored by NCR, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.  “Retirement” means your Termination of Employment when you are age 62 or older with at least 10 years of continuous service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the period ending on the date of your Termination of Employment (but excluding service with any entity whose stock or assets were acquired by the Company for the period prior to such acquisition).  “Involuntary Termination” means Termination of Employment by the Company or the Employer for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan), excluding termination by the Company or the Employer during the twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control.  “Change in Control Termination” means a Termination of Employment by the Company, the Employer or the continuing entity other than for Cause (as defined in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan, to the extent that you are a participant in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan at the time of such Termination of Employment; otherwise as defined in the Plan and, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any termination due to your Disability) occurring during the twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control wherein this Award is assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity.  “Good Reason Termination” means, if you are a participant in the NCR 


2








Change in Control Severance Plan, or an NCR policy or similar arrangement or individual agreement that defines “Good Reason” in the context of a resignation following a Change in Control, your Termination of Employment for Good Reason as so defined within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control.
Change in Control.  Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary other than Sections 5, 10, 12, and 24, in the event a Change in Control occurs prior to the Vesting Date and the Stock Units are not assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity, all unvested Stock Units shall become fully Vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.  
3.    Settlement of Stock Units.  Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 2 or 4 of this Agreement, Section 14.12 of the Plan or pursuant to an election under Section 14.11 of the Plan,  Vested Stock Units will be paid to you as soon as reasonably practicable after the earlier of (i) your Vesting Date, (ii) your Termination of Employment if such Termination of Employment results in vesting pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement due to your death, Disability or Retirement (but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such Vesting Date or Termination of Employment occurs); provided that such payment shall be made promptly after any vesting immediately prior to or following a Change in Control.  Such Vested Stock Units will be paid to you in shares of Common Stock (such that one Stock Unit equals one share of Common Stock) or, in NCR’s sole discretion, in an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Common Stock on date that immediately precedes the Vesting Date (or such earlier date upon which the Stock Units have become Vested pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement), or a combination thereof (the date of such payment shall be referred to herein as the “Settlement Date”).  
4.    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  The intent of the parties is that payments under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Code or are exempt therefrom, and this Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and governed in accordance with such intent.
5.    Confidentiality.  By accepting this Award, except to the extent disclosure is required by applicable law or regulation, you agree to keep this Agreement confidential and not to disclose its contents to anyone except your attorney, your immediate family, or your financial consultant, provided such persons agree in advance to keep such information confidential and not disclose it to others.  The Stock Units will be forfeited if you violate the terms and conditions of this Section 5.
6.    Adjustments Based on Certain Changes in the Common Stock.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar change affecting the Common Stock, the Award shall be equitably adjusted in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Plan.
7.    Nontransferability.  At all times before each applicable Vesting Date, the Stock Units, to the extent not fully Vested, may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated, except by beneficiary designation, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution upon your death.  As soon as practicable after a Vesting Date (or such other date as Stock Units become payable in accordance with Section 2), if Stock Units that Vested on such Vesting Date are to be paid in the form of shares of NCR Common Stock, NCR will instruct its transfer agent 


3








and/or its TPA to record on your account the number of such shares underlying the number of such Stock Units, and such shares will be freely transferable.
8.    Dividends.  Any cash dividends declared before each applicable Vesting Date on the shares underlying unvested Stock Units shall not be paid currently, but shall be converted into additional unvested Stock Units, and any cash dividends declared after a Vesting Date but before the applicable Settlement Date on the shares underlying Vested Stock Units shall not be paid currently, but shall be converted into additional Vested Stock Units and settled pursuant to Section 3 at the same time as the underlying Vested Stock Units.  Any Stock Units resulting from such conversion (the “Dividend Units”) will be considered Stock Units for purposes of this Agreement and will be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein that apply to the underlying Stock Units that generated the Dividend Units.  As of each date that NCR would otherwise pay the declared dividend on the shares underlying the Stock Units (the “Dividend Payment Date”) in the absence of the reinvestment requirements of this Section, the number of Dividend Units will be determined by dividing the amount of dividends otherwise attributable to the Stock Units but not paid on the Dividend Payment Date by the Fair Market Value of NCR’s Common Stock on the Dividend Payment Date.  
9.    Withholding.  (a) Prior to any relevant tax or tax withholding event (as applicable) and as a condition of your receiving the shares of Common Stock in respect of the Stock Units, you agree to make arrangements satisfactory to NCR and/or the Employer to satisfy all income tax, social insurance tax, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax or other Federal, state or local tax payment or withholding requirements or other tax related items (collectively, “Tax-Related Items”) applicable to you as a result of or related to your participation in the Plan. In this regard, you agree to pay to NCR, including, at NCR’s sole discretion, through payroll withholding, a cash amount equal to any amount of such Tax-Related Items required to be paid or withheld with respect to the Stock Units; provided that you will be required to pay any such amount prior to the tax or tax withholding event (as applicable) and as a condition of your receiving the shares of Common Stock to be issued in respect of the Stock Units.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in lieu of paying NCR a cash amount equal to any amount of taxes required to be withheld or paid with respect to the Tax-Related Items in respect of the Stock Units, you may, to the extent permitted by NCR in its sole discretion, elect to satisfy any such amount required to be withheld or paid by either (A) instructing NCR to withhold shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon the settlement of the Stock Units equal to the amount required to be withheld or paid or (B) instructing NCR and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to NCR for such purpose to sell on your behalf the whole number of Common Stock underlying the Stock Units that NCR determines to be appropriate to generate the cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy such Tax-Related Items; provided that, any such sale or withholding of shares shall occur on the date that the requirement to withhold or pay taxes arises or as soon as practicable thereafter; provided further that, to the extent that you instruct NCR and any brokerage firm to sell shares of Common Stock on your behalf pursuant to this Section 9, you will be responsible for, and will indemnify and hold NCR and the Employer harmless with respect to, any and all losses, costs, damages or other expenses ( including brokerage fees and other similar costs related directly to any such sale of Common Stock) arising in connection with, or related to, any such sale.  You acknowledge that if, at the time any shares of Common Stock are sold to satisfy requirements relating to Tax-Related Items pursuant to this Section 9, you are an executive officer of NCR subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any such sale of 


4








Common Stock must be pursuant to an exemption from the requirements under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. 
(b)    You acknowledge that, regardless of any action taken by NCR or the Employer, the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains your responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by NCR or the Employer. Depending on the withholding method, NCR may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates, or such other rate that will not result in an adverse accounting consequence or cost, in which case you will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Common Stock equivalent.
10.     Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. You acknowledge that following the termination of your employment from NCR, you will be in a position to compete unfairly with the Company as a result of the confidential information, trade secrets, and knowledge about NCR’s business, operations, customers, employees and trade connections that you have acquired or will acquire in connection with your employment.  You therefore agree to enter into the restrictions in this Agreement for the purpose of protecting NCR’s business interests and the confidential information, goodwill and the stable trained workforce of NCR and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including but not limited to any parent companies or subsidiaries (collectively for purposes of this Section, “NCR”).  In exchange for the consideration you are receiving pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation the potential future vesting of equity awards under this Agreement (for avoidance of doubt, the obligations herein shall bind you without regard to whether any equity has vested as of the time of any violation of the terms of this Section), you agree that during your employment with NCR and for a twelve-month period after its termination (or if applicable law mandates a maximum time that is shorter than twelve months, then for a period of time equal to that shorter maximum period) (the “Restricted Period”), regardless of the reason for termination, you will not yourself or through others, without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of NCR: 
(a) [I: FOR EMPLOYEES GRADE 18 AND ABOVE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT] perform services, directly or indirectly in any capacity (including, without limitation, as an employee, consultant, owner or member of a board of directors), (i) of the type conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by you on behalf of NCR within the two years prior to termination of your NCR employment; (ii) in connection with products, services, systems or solutions that are similar to or serve substantially the same functions as those with respect to which you worked for NCR within the last two years of your NCR employment; (iii) on behalf of yourself or a person or entity in competition with NCR that is not one of the named “Competing Organizations” either on the list below in this Section 10 or, as applicable, on the list currently in effect at the time of termination of your NCR employment (available from the NCR Human Resources intranet website; the list as of the Grant Date is set forth below in subparagraph (i)); and (iv) anywhere within the United States, or in any State or territory thereof, if you worked in the United States at any time within your last two years of NCR employment, or in any country in which NCR does or did business during your NCR employment and in which you worked at any time within your last two years of NCR employment, all of which States, territories or countries are deemed to be separately set forth here and the names of which are incorporated by reference;


5








(a) [II: FOR EMPLOYEES GRADE 17 AND BELOW AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT] perform services, directly or indirectly in any capacity (including, without limitation, as an employee, consultant, owner or member of a board of directors), (i) of the type conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by you on behalf of NCR within the two years prior to termination of your NCR employment; (ii) in connection with products, services, systems or solutions that are similar to or serve substantially the same functions as those with respect to which you worked for NCR within the last two years of your NCR employment; (iii) on behalf of yourself or a person or entity in competition with NCR that is not one of the named “Competing Organizations” either on the list below in this Section 10 or, as applicable, on the list currently in effect at the time of termination of your NCR employment (available from the NCR Human Resources intranet website; the list as of the Grant Date is set forth below in subparagraph (i); and (iv) within the territory where or for which (including types, classes or tiers of customers if no geographic territory was assigned to you) you performed such services within the two years preceding your termination.
(b) perform services, directly or indirectly in any capacity (including, without limitation, as an employee, consultant, owner or member of a board of directors), (i) of the type conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by you on behalf of NCR within the two years prior to termination of your NCR employment; (ii) in connection with products, services, systems or solutions that are similar to or serve substantially the same functions as those with respect to which you worked for NCR within the last two years of your NCR employment; and (iii) on behalf of any named “Competing Organization” either on the list below in this Section 10 or, as applicable, on the list currently in effect at the time of termination of your NCR employment (available from the NCR Human Resources intranet website; the list as of the Grant Date is set forth below in subparagraph (i)); 
(c) directly or indirectly (including without limitation assisting third parties) recruit, hire or solicit, or attempt to recruit, hire or solicit any employee of NCR, or induce or attempt to induce any employee of NCR, to terminate his or her employment with NCR; 
(d) directly or by assisting others, solicit or attempt to solicit the business of any NCR customers or prospective customers with which you had material contact during the last two years of your NCR employment, for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with those provided by NCR and its Affiliates. “Material contact” means the contact between you and each customer or prospective customer (i) with which you dealt on behalf of NCR, (ii) whose dealings with NCR were coordinated or supervised by you, (iii) about whom you obtained confidential information in the ordinary course of business as a result of your association with NCR, or (iv) who receives products or services authorized by NCR, the sale or provision of which results or resulted in compensation, commissions, or earnings for you within the two years prior to the date of the your termination. 
(e) All references to “NCR” in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and references to “NCR employment” shall be deemed to include your employment, if any, by a company the stock or substantially all the assets of which NCR has acquired. As a non-limiting example, a reference to the “last two years of your NCR employment” may include both time as an NCR employee and time as a Retalix Ltd or Digital Insight employee.

(f) The covenants contained within this Section 10 are a material component of the consideration for this Agreement.  If you breach any of these covenants, NCR shall be entitled to all of its remedies at law or in equity, including but not limited to money damages and injunctive relief.  In the event of such a breach, in addition to NCR’s other remedies, any unvested Stock Units will be immediately forfeited and deemed canceled, and you agree to pay immediately to NCR the Fair Market Value of any Stock Units that vested during the eighteen (18) months prior to the date of your Termination of Employment (or if applicable law mandates a maximum time that is shorter than eighteen (18) months, then for a period of time equal to the shorter maximum period), without regard to whether you continue to own the shares associated with such Stock Units or not.  
(g) The Restricted Period shall be tolled and suspended during and for the pendency of any violation of its terms, and for the pendency of any legal proceedings to enforce any of the covenants set forth herein, and all time that is part of or subject to such tolling and suspension shall not be counted toward the twelve-month duration of the Restricted Period. By way of example, if immediately following your departure from NCR you accept employment with a competitor that is prohibited by the noncompetition covenant contained in this Section 10, and work for such competitor for six months before NCR obtains a judicial or arbitral order terminating or modifying that employment, your twelve-month noncompetition period shall not commence until after you have commenced compliance with that order.  This subsection (g) shall not have any effect and shall be deemed omitted from this Agreement in any jurisdiction that prohibits such tolling provisions.
(h) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10 do not apply to you if, following the termination of your NCR employment, you continue to reside or work in California, or if you continue to reside or work in a country that mandates, as a non-waiveable condition, continued pay during the Restricted Period, unless NCR advises you it will tender such pay, which shall be in the minimum amount required by local law. 
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Organizations” shall be the following as of the Grant Date including the subsidiaries and affiliates of each. Please note that non-competition provisions in this or other NCR agreements or plans are not limited to the identified Competing Organizations, and that other companies may qualify as competitors under other provisions of the NCR plans or agreements, including this Agreement, and that NCR employees may be restricted from accepting employment or other work from such other companies, subject to the terms of the relevant NCR plan or agreement.  The list of Competing Organizations is updated and revised from time to time, and such updated lists shall be deemed a part of this Agreement; updated lists can be obtained from the NCR intranet website at: https://intranet.ncr.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=8175.

(j)  In the event that you receive an offer of employment or a request to provide services from an organization specified above or described above, either during your employment or during the term of the Restrictive Period, you shall provide immediately to such person, company or other entity a full and accurate copy of this Agreement and advise him/her or it of your obligations under it.


8








(k)  The restrictions contained in this Agreement are acknowledged by the parties to be reasonable in all respects.  Each clause constitutes an entirely separate and independent restriction and the duration, extent and application of each of the restrictions are no greater than is necessary for the protection of NCR’s interests.  If any portion of this Section 10 is held unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Agreement.  
(l)  This Agreement is entered into electronically.  You hereby waive any local requirement, to the extent one exists or may exist, of original ink signatures on paper documents. 
(m)  The governing law clause of this Agreement, for employees who work or reside outside the United States, shall be deemed to be the law of the country where such employee works for NCR (as defined above, including its subsidiaries and affiliates).
(n)  In any country outside the United States where liquidated damages are recoverable under local law, in the event that you breach the covenants in this Section 10, you acknowledge that NCR will suffer irreparable damage, and you promise to pay NCR on demand damages in a sum equal to the amount of six months of your salary that was in effect when your NCR employment ended.  You acknowledge that this sum represents a reasonable estimate of damages that NCR will suffer, and that, where local law allows, NCR may seek additional compensatory damages.  
11.     Dispute Resolution (applicable to employees working or residing in the United States).  By accepting this Award, you agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement with respect to your employment or your employment with NCR, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be resolved by binding arbitration; the obligation to arbitrate shall also extend to and encompass any claims that you may have or assert against any NCR employees, officers, directors or agents.  NCR, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, however, do not consent to class arbitration.  The arbitration shall be pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and, unless otherwise agreed by you and NCR, shall be held in the metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia area.  The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator who is an attorney. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Issues of arbitrability shall be determined in accordance with the U.S. federal substantive and procedural laws relating to arbitration; in all other respects, this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia in the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Each party shall bear its own attorney fees associated with the arbitration; other costs, and the expenses of the arbitration, shall be borne as provided by the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If any portion of this Section 11 is held unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect the duty to arbitrate nor any other part of this Section 11. Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph, you acknowledge that if you breach any of the covenants set forth in Section 10 or Section 15, NCR will sustain irreparable injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law. As a result, you agree that in the event of such breach NCR may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable relief pending appointment of an arbitrator and completion of an arbitration, and in such instance shall not be required to post a bond.
12.    Compensation Recovery Policy.  By accepting the Stock Units, you acknowledge and agree that to the extent that the Stock Units constitute “Covered Incentive Compensation” subject to the terms of NCR’s Compensation Recovery Policy, as the same may be in effect from time to time (the “Compensation Recovery Policy”), then, notwithstanding any other provision 


9








of this Agreement to the contrary, you may be required to forfeit or repay any or all of the Stock Units pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Recovery Policy.  Further, you acknowledge and agree that NCR may, to the extent permitted or required by law or regulation (including the Dodd-Frank Act), enforce any repayment obligation pursuant to the Compensation Recovery Policy by reducing any amounts that may be owing from time to time by NCR to you, whether as wages, severance, vacation pay or in the form of any other benefit or for any other reason, or enforce any other recoupment as prescribed by applicable law or regulation.
13.    Beneficiaries.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may, to the extent permitted by the Senior Vice President, Corporate Services and Chief Human Resources Officer (or his or her delegate) and such procedures of the TPA as may be in effect from time to time, designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or part of any shares of NCR Common Stock underlying the Stock Units to be distributed in case of your death, and you may change or revoke such designation at any time in accordance with such procedures.  In the event of your death, any such shares distributable hereunder that are subject to such a designation that has not been superseded, modified or revoked in accordance with such procedures will be distributed to such beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with this Agreement.  Any other shares of NCR Common Stock underlying the Stock Units not designated by you will be distributable to your estate.  If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder, the shares of NCR Common Stock underlying the Stock Units in question may be transferred to your estate, in which event NCR will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such shares.  For information about TPA beneficiary designation procedures, or to revoke or change a beneficiary designation, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-9354 (U.S. grantees) or 1-800-544-0275 (non-U.S. grantees), or at such other number as provided by NCR or Fidelity.  If you are a non-U.S. grantee, please visit the following link for access to the toll-free number:  https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/phone-numbers/overview.
14.    Data Privacy. You hereby explicitly and unambiguously consent to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of your personal data as described in this Agreement and any other Award materials (“Data”) by and among, as applicable the Employer, NCR, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.
You understand that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in NCR, details of all Stock Units or other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, cancelled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in your favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.
You understand that Data will be transferred to the TPA or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by NCR in the future, which is assisting NCR with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  You understand that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (for example, the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than your country.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting your local human resources 


10








representative.  You authorize NCR, the TPA and any other possible recipients which may assist NCR (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing your participation in the Plan.  You understand that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage your participation in the Plan.  You understand that if you reside outside the United States you may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing your local human resources representative.  Further, you understand that you are providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.  If you do not consent, or if you later seek to revoke your consent, your employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing your consent is that NCR would not be able to grant you Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, you understand that refusing or withdrawing your consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of your refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, you understand that you may contact your local human resources representative.
15.    Protection of Confidential Information.  In exchange for the consideration you are receiving pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, you agree that during your employment with the Company or an Employer and at all times thereafter (or if applicable law mandates a maximum time, then for a period of time equal to that shorter maximum period) you agree to keep strictly confidential all confidential or trade secret information or material for so long as that information or material remains confidential or trade secret, as applicable.  Upon termination of your employment with the Company or an Employer, you will surrender to the Company or your Employer any and all copies, including in electronic form, of Company and Employer confidential information and Company and Employer intellectual property and cease to maintain any copies of such information or intellectual property.
16.    Application to Other Compensation.  Your participation in the Plan is voluntary.  The value of this Award is an extraordinary item of income, is not part of your normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, redundancy, end of service payments, bonus, long-service awards, pension, retirement or other benefits or similar payments.  The Plan is discretionary in nature.  This Award is a one-time benefit that does not create any contractual or other right to receive additional awards or other benefits in the future.  Future grants, if any, are at the sole grace and discretion of NCR, including but not limited to, the timing of the grant, amount and vesting provisions.
  
17.    No Advice Regarding Grant.

APPENDIX B


COUNTRY-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS


2016 Time-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement
NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan




This Appendix B includes special terms and conditions applicable to you if you reside in the countries below.  These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in place of, those set forth in the Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan, or the Agreement, as applicable.
This Appendix B also includes information relating to exchange control and other issues of which you should be aware with respect to your participation in the Plan.  The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of the Grant Date.  Such laws are often complex and change frequently.  As a result, NCR strongly recommends that you do not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the Stock Units are Vested or shares of NCR Common Stock acquired under the Plan are sold.
In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to your particular situation and NCR is not in a position to assure you of any particular result.  Accordingly, you are advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in your country may apply to your situation.  Finally, if you are a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which you are currently working, are considered a citizen or resident of another country for local law purposes, or transfer employment or residency to another country after the Grant Date, the notifications contained herein may not be applicable to you.  In addition, NCR shall, in its discretion, determine to what extent the terms and conditions contained herein shall be applicable to you.
CHINA
Settlement of Stock Units.  This provision supplements Section 3 of the Agreement:
To facilitate compliance with exchange control laws and regulations in the People’s Republic of China (“China”), you agree to the sale of any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting and settlement of the Stock Units.  The sale will occur (i) immediately upon vesting and settlement of the Stock Units, (ii) following your Termination of Employment, or (iii) within any other time frame as the Company determines to be necessary to facilitate compliance with local regulatory requirements.  You further agree that the Company is authorized to instruct its designated broker to assist with the mandatory sale of such shares (on your behalf pursuant to this authorization) and you expressly authorize the Company’s designated broker to complete the sale of such shares.  You agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by NCR (or the broker) to effectuate the sale of the shares of NCR Common Stock and shall otherwise cooperate with NCR with respect to such matters.  You acknowledge that neither NCR nor the broker is under any obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of NCR Common Stock at any 


17








particular price and that broker’s fees and similar expenses may be incurred in any such sale.  In any event, when the shares of NCR Common Stock are sold, the proceeds of the sale of such shares, less any Tax-Related Items and the broker’s fees, commissions or similar expenses, will be remitted to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.
Exchange Control Restrictions.  You understand and agree that, if you are subject to exchange control laws in China, you will be required to immediately repatriate to China the proceeds from the sale of any shares of NCR Common Stock acquired under the Plan.  You further understand that such repatriation of the proceeds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by NCR or a Subsidiary or Affiliate, and you hereby consent and agree that the proceeds from the sale of shares of NCR Common Stock acquired under the Plan may be transferred to such account by NCR (or the broker) on your behalf prior to being delivered to you.  You also agree to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by NCR (or the broker) to effectuate such transfers.  
The proceeds may be paid to you in U.S. dollars or local currency at NCR’s discretion.  If the proceeds are paid to you in U.S. dollars, you understand that you will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.  If the proceeds are paid to you in local currency, (i) you acknowledge that NCR is under no obligation to secure any particular exchange conversion rate and that NCR may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and (ii) you agree to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of NCR Common Stock are sold and the time the proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to you.  
Finally, you agree to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by NCR in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.  


ISRAEL


Trust Arrangement.  You understand and agree that this Award is offered subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and its Israeli Appendix.  Upon vesting, the shares of Common Stock shall be controlled by the Company’s trustee appointed by the Company or its Subsidiary or Affiliate in Israel (the “Trustee”) for your benefit for at least such period of time as required by Section 102 or any shorter period determined under the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961 as now in effect or as hereafter amended (the “Ordinance”) (with respect to the “capital gain route”) or by the Israeli Tax Authority (the “Lock‐Up Period”).  You shall be able to request the sale of the shares or the release of the shares from the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Plan, this Agreement and any applicable Israeli tax law.  Without derogating from the aforementioned, if the shares are released by the Trustee during the Lock‐Up Period, the sanctions under Section 102 of the Ordinance shall apply to and be borne by you.  The shares shall not be sold or released from the control of the Trustee unless the Company, the Subsidiary or Affiliate and the Trustee are satisfied that the full amount of Tax-Related Items due have been paid or will be paid in relation thereto. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary except the provisions in Section 2 of this Agreement relating to a Good Reason Termination (as defined in Section 2) or your Retirement (in each case, to the extent specifically applicable to you), in the event of your resignation from service with NCR or the 


18








Employer due to any reason, including worsening of employment conditions, or any other reason relating to conditions of employment, all unvested Stock Units will automatically terminate and be forfeited and no shares or cash will be issued or paid to you (as the case may be).
