Form of 2010 Performance Based Restricted Stock Agreement



 Exhibit 10.5 

2010 Performance Based Restricted Stock Agreement 

NCR 2006 Stock Incentive Plan 

You have been awarded a number of restricted shares of NCR common stock (the “Restricted Stock”) under the NCR Corporation 2006
Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective December 31, 2008 (the “Plan”), as listed on the restricted stock grant information page on the website of the third party Plan administrator for NCR Corporation (referred to
herein, together with its affiliate companies, as “NCR”), subject to the terms and conditions of this 2010 Performance Based Restricted Stock Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Plan. 

1. Subject to potential reduction as set forth in Section 2 and further subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement,
one hundred and fifty percent of the Restricted Stock will become nonforfeitable (“Vested”) on December 31, 2012 (your “Vesting Date”), provided that (i) the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the NCR Board of
Directors (the “Committee”) has certified that NCR has achieved the level of Return on Capital (as defined below) described in your award letter for the period from January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2011 (the
“Performance Period”), and (ii) you are continuously employed by NCR until your Vesting Date. In all cases, the Committee shall certify whether NCR has achieved the specified level of Return on Capital no later than March 15 of
the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period. 
 2. The actual number of shares of Restricted Stock that become
Vested based on achieving the level of Return on Capital during the Performance Period described in your award letter may be reduced by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion based on such factors as the Committee determines to be
appropriate and/or advisable including without limitation NCR’s achievement of Non-Pension Operating Income Minus Capital Charge (“NPOICC”) for the Performance Period. It is the current intention of the Committee that the Committee
will exercise its discretion to reduce the number of shares of Restricted Stock that will Vest based on NCR’s achievement of NPOICC for the Performance Period as set forth in the following chart, provided, that the Committee reserves the right
to deviate from such reduction formula based on achievement of NPOICC and may reduce the number of shares of Restricted Stock that will Vest based on such other factors as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be
appropriate and/or advisable; provided, however, that it is the intention of the Committee that it will deviate from such reduction formula based on achievement of NPOICC only in extreme and unusual circumstances: 

 

				
	 NPOICC Level
	  	Number of Shares Earned
(as a % of Restricted 
Stock
Awarded)	 
	 Threshold
	  	25	% 
	 Target
	  	100	% 
	 Maximum
	  	150	% 








 3. “NPOICC” is defined as (A minus (B times C)). “A” equals the
“Non-Pension Operating Income” (which is operating income before defined benefit pension expense (or income) and including costs attributable to stock options) for the Performance Period, as reported by NCR at the conclusion of the
Performance Period. “B” equals “Controllable Capital”, which is working capital (comprised of accounts receivable plus inventory, minus the sum of accounts payable, deferred revenue and customer deposits), plus the sum of
Property, Plant & Equipment, other current assets excluding taxes, and capitalized software, minus the sum of payroll and employee benefits and other current liabilities, excluding taxes and severance (FAS 112 liability).
“C” equals 10%, which approximates NCR’s weighted average cost of capital. 
 4. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Return on Capital” shall mean Non-Pension Operating Income divided by Controllable Capital, each as defined in Section 3 above. 

5. If your employment with NCR terminates prior to your Vesting Date due to: (i) your death; (ii) cessation of active
employment by NCR 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 (“Disability”); (iii) Retirement (defined as termination by
you of your employment with NCR at or after age 55 with the consent of the Committee other than, if applicable to you, for Good Reason (as described below) following a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan)); or (iv) reduction-in-force;
then, as soon as reasonably possible following such termination and the end of the Performance Period, but not later than March 15 of the calendar year following the end of the Performance Period, and based upon the Committee’s
certification of Return on Capital, a pro rata portion of the Restricted Stock will become Vested. The pro rata portion will be determined by calculating the total number of shares you would have received (through Vesting of Restricted Stock) if
your NCR employment had not terminated prior to your Vesting Date, and multiplying that number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full and partial months of employment you completed after the date of grant of this award (the
“Grant Date”), and the denominator of which is thirty-six months. If your employment terminates prior to your Vesting Date for any reason other than as otherwise described in this Section 5, the Restricted Stock will automatically be
forfeited and no shares will be issued. 
 Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary other than Sections 6, 12, 13, 14 and
19: 
 (i) in the event a Change in Control occurs on or prior to December 31, 2010 and this restricted
stock award is not assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity, the Restricted Stock shall Vest immediately prior to the Change in Control (without regard to performance or pro-ration) at the “Target” level; 

(ii) in the event a Change in Control occurs after December 31, 2010 and this restricted stock award is not assumed,
converted or replaced by the continuing entity, the Restricted Stock shall Vest as follows: 
 (A) if such
Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock will Vest immediately prior to the Change in Control (without regard to performance after the Change in








 
Control or pro-ration) based on actual performance to date as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Change in Control occurs, except that if the Change in
Control occurs during the first five days of the month, then actual performance to date will be measured as of the last day of the month before the month immediately preceding the month in which the Change in Control occurs, and 

(B) if such Change in Control occurs on or after the end of the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock will Vest
immediately prior to the Change in Control (without regard to pro-ration) based on actual performance during the Performance Period; 

(iii) except as otherwise provided in clause (v) below, in the event of a Change in Control on or prior to
December 31, 2010 wherein this restricted stock award is assumed, the Restricted Stock will Vest on your Vesting Date (without regard to performance or pro-ration) at the “Target” level, subject to your continued employment through
and until your Vesting Date; 
 (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (v) below, in the event of a
Change in Control after December 31, 2010 wherein this restricted stock award is assumed, the Restricted Stock will Vest as follows: 

(A) if such Change in Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock will Vest on your
Vesting Date (without regard to performance after the Change in Control or pro-ration) based on actual performance to date as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which the Change in Control occurs, except that if the
Change in Control occurs during the first five days of the month, then actual performance to date will be measured as of the last day of the month before the month immediately preceding the month in which the Change in Control occurs, in each case
subject to your continued employment through and until your Vesting Date, and 
 (B) if such Change in Control
occurs on or after the end of the Performance Period, the Restricted Stock will Vest on your Vesting Date (without regard to pro-ration) based on actual performance during the Performance Period, subject to your continued employment through and
until your Vesting Date; and 
 (v) notwithstanding the provisions of clause (iii) and (iv) to the
contrary, if, during the 24 months following the Change in Control, you incur a Termination of Employment (as defined in the Plan) by NCR 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) or Disability (as defined in the Plan) or, if you are a participant in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan,
an NCR Severance Policy or a similar arrangement that defines “Good Reason” in the context of a resignation following a Change in Control and you terminate your employment for Good Reason as so defined, to the extent not








 
then-Vested, the Restricted Stock award shall Vest immediately upon your Termination of Employment at the level specified in clause (iii) or (iv) as applicable. 

6. By accepting this award, unless 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 Restricted Stock
will be forfeited if you violate the terms and conditions of this Section 6. 
 7. In the event of a stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extra-ordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of NCR, the Committee or the Board of
Directors of NCR shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to the number and kind of securities subject to outstanding awards. In the case of Corporate Transactions (as defined in the Plan), such adjustments
may include, without limitation, (1) the cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such awards, as determined by the Committee or the
Board of Directors of NCR in its sole discretion, provided, that in the event of the cancellation of such awards pursuant to this clause (1), the awards shall Vest in full immediately prior to the consummation of such Corporate Transaction;
(2) the substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of NCR and securities of entities other than NCR) for the Restricted Stock subject to outstanding awards; and (3) in connection with any
Disaffiliation (as defined in the Plan), arranging for the assumption of awards, or replacement of awards with new awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of NCR and securities of entities
other than NCR), by the affected Subsidiary, Affiliate (as such terms are defined in the Plan), or division or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary, Affiliate, or division following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding
adjustments to awards that remain based upon NCR securities). The Committee will adjust the Performance Goals (as defined in the Plan) applicable to any awards to reflect any unusual or non-recurring events and other extraordinary items, impact of
charges for restructurings, discontinued operations, and the cumulative effects of accounting or tax changes, each as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and as identified in NCR’s financial statements, notes to the financial
statements, management’s discussion and analysis or other NCR’s SEC filings. 
 8. You will be the record owner of the
Restricted Stock until such shares are forfeited, and as the record owner you will be entitled to all rights of a common stockholder of NCR, including without limitation, voting rights and rights to cash and in-kind dividends, if any, on the
Restricted Stock; provided, however, that the right to dividends will be subject to Section 10 below, and, prior to your Vesting Date, the Restricted Stock is not freely transferable. Until the Restricted Stock has become Vested, the Restricted
Stock shall be issued in book-entry only form and shall not be represented by a certificate. The restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall be reflected on the stock transfer records maintained by or on behalf of NCR. You agree that, in order to
ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed on the Restricted Stock under this Agreement, NCR may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent and/or third party Plan administrator. By execution of this
Agreement and effective until the Restricted Stock has become Vested, you hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company attorneys-in-fact to transfer








 
the Restricted Stock on the stock transfer records of NCR with full power of substitution. You agree to take any and all other actions (including without limitation executing, delivering,
performing and filing such other agreements, instruments and documents) as NCR may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out and give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. As soon as practicable after your Vesting Date, subject to
Section 11 below, NCR will instruct its transfer agent and/or third party Plan administrator to release the restrictions on your record account and the Restricted Stock will become freely transferable. 

9. Prior to Vesting, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated, except by beneficiary
designation, will or by the laws of descent and distribution upon your death. 
 10. Any cash dividends declared before your
Vesting Date on the Restricted Stock shall not be paid currently, but shall be reinvested in shares of common stock of NCR. Any shares resulting from such reinvestment (the “Dividend Shares”) will be considered Restricted Stock for
purposes of this Agreement and will be subject to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth herein. As of each date that NCR would otherwise pay the declared dividend on the Restricted Stock (the “Dividend Payment Date”) in
the absence of the reinvestment requirements of this Section 10, the number of Dividend Shares will be determined by dividing the amount of dividends otherwise attributable to the Restricted Stock but not paid on the Dividend Payment Date by
the Fair Market Value of NCR’s common stock on the Dividend Payment Date. The Committee may, in its discretion, take such action as it deems appropriate regarding in-kind dividends or distributions with respect to the Restricted Stock prior to
your Vesting Date, which actions may include, without limitation, current distribution or liquidation or reinvestment in Restricted Stock. Any securities or property so distributed may, in the Committee’s discretion, be subject to any or all of
the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
 11. (a) NCR has the right to deduct or cause to be deducted, or collect
or cause to be collected, with respect to the taxation of the Restricted Stock, any federal, state or local taxes required by the laws of the United States or any other country to be withheld or paid with respect to the Restricted Stock, and you or
your legal representative or beneficiary will be required to pay any such amounts. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, your acceptance of this award of Restricted Stock constitutes your instruction to NCR and any brokerage firm
determined acceptable to NCR for such purpose to sell on your behalf the whole number of shares of Vested Restricted Stock as NCR determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements. Any
such shares of Vested Restricted Stock will be sold on the day(s) the requirement to withhold taxes arises (e.g., the date that the Restricted Stock becomes Vested) or as soon thereafter as practicable. You will be responsible for all
brokerage fees and other costs of sale, and you agree to indemnify and hold NCR harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses related to any such sale. You acknowledge that neither NCR nor its designee is under any obligation to arrange for
such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the tax withholding requirements. Accordingly, you agree to pay to NCR as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll
withholding, any amount of such taxes required to be withheld that is not satisfied by the sale of Vested Restricted Stock described above. You acknowledge that this Section 11(a) is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule
10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Securities Exchange 







 
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is to be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c), and that you are not aware of any material, nonpublic
information with respect to NCR or any securities of NCR as of the date of this Agreement. 
 (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if at the time that any shares of Vested Restricted Stock would otherwise be sold to satisfy tax withholding requirements pursuant to Section 11(a) you are an executive officer subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the
Exchange Act, you hereby consent and direct that, in lieu of such sale, NCR shall withhold the whole number of shares of Vested Restricted Stock as NCR, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to satisfy such tax withholding requirements, and you
agree to pay to NCR, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of such taxes required to be withheld that is not satisfied by the withholding of Vested Restricted Stock described in this Section 11(b). 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are paid through a non-United States NCR payroll system, you agree that NCR may
satisfy any tax withholding requirements with respect to the Restricted Stock by withholding cash from compensation otherwise due to you or by any other action as it may deem necessary to satisfy the tax withholding requirements. 

12. In exchange for the Restricted Stock, you agree that during your employment with NCR and for a twelve (12) month period after
the termination of employment (or if applicable law mandates a maximum time that is shorter than twelve (12) months, then for a period of time equal to that shorter maximum 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) render services directly or indirectly to, or become employed by, any Competing Organization (as defined in this Section 12) to the
extent such services or employment involves the development, manufacture, marketing, advertising, sale or servicing of any product, process, system or service which is the same or similar to, or competes with, a product, process, system or service
manufactured, sold, serviced or otherwise provided by NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates, to its customers and upon which you worked or in which you participated during the last two (2) years of your NCR employment; (b) directly or
indirectly recruit, hire, solicit or induce, or attempt to induce, any exempt employee of NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates, to terminate his or her employment with NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or otherwise cease his or her relationship
with NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (c) solicit the business of any firm or company with which you worked during the preceding two (2) years while employed by NCR, including customers of NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates. If you
breach the terms of this Section 12, you agree that in addition to any liability you may have for damages arising from such breach, any Restricted Stock that has not yet Vested will be immediately forfeited, and you will pay to NCR the Fair
Market Value of any Restricted Stock that has Vested during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination of your employment. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the Vesting Date. If you breach the terms of this
Section 12 prior to your Vesting Date but after your employment terminates due to the circumstances described in the first paragraph of Section 5, your award will be forfeited and you will not receive a pro rata portion of the Restricted
Stock. 
 As used in this Section 12, “Competing Organization” means (i) an organization identified as a
Competing Organization by the Chief Executive Officer of NCR for the year in 







 
which your employment with NCR terminates, and (ii) any other person or organization which is engaged in or about to become engaged in research on or development, production, marketing,
leasing, selling or servicing of a product, process, system or service which is the same or similar to or competes with a product, process, system or service manufactured, sold, serviced or otherwise provided by NCR to its customers. The list of
Competing Organizations identified by the Chief Executive Officer referenced in subpart (i) of this paragraph is available from the NCR Law Department. 

13. By accepting the Restricted Stock, you agree that, where permitted by local law, any controversy or claim arising out of or related
to this Agreement or your employment relationship with NCR shall be resolved by arbitration. If you are employed in the United States, the arbitration shall be pursuant to the NCR dispute resolution policy and the then current rules of the American
Arbitration Association and shall be held at a neutral location, in or near the city where you work or have worked for NCR if you reported into an NCR facility; or if you worked out of your residence, the capital city or nearest major city in the
state in which you reside. If you are employed outside the United States, where permitted by local law, the arbitration shall be conducted in the regional headquarters city of the business organization in which you work. The arbitration shall be
held before a single arbitrator who is an attorney knowledgeable in employment law. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For arbitrations held in the United States,
issues of arbitrability shall be determined in accordance with the federal substantive and procedural laws relating to arbitration; all other aspects shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its
conflict of laws principles. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees associated with the arbitration and other costs and expenses of the arbitration shall be borne as provided by the rules of the American Arbitration Association for an
arbitration held in the United States, or similar applicable rules for an arbitration held outside the United States. The Restricted Stock will be forfeited if the Committee determines that you engaged in misconduct in connection with your
employment with NCR. If any portion of this paragraph is held to be unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect either the duty to arbitrate or any other part of this paragraph. 

Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph, you acknowledge that if you breach Section 12, NCR will sustain irreparable injury and
will not have an adequate remedy at law. As a result, you agree that in the event of your breach of Section 12, NCR may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, bring an action in a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable
relief to preserve the status quo pending appointment of an arbitrator and completion of an arbitration. You stipulate to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Montgomery County, Ohio, the location from
which NCR’s equity programs are administered, for any such proceedings. 
 14. By accepting the Restricted Stock, you
acknowledge and agree that, to the extent that the Restricted Stock constitutes “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 of this Agreement to the contrary, you may be required to forfeit or repay any or all of the Restricted Stock pursuant to the terms of the Compensation Recovery
Policy. Further, you acknowledge and agree that NCR may, to the extent permitted by law, 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. 

15. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, you may at any time designate one or more beneficiaries to receive all or part of any
Restricted Stock to be distributed in case of your death, and you may change or revoke such designation at any time. In the event of your death, any Restricted Stock distributable hereunder that is subject to such a designation will be distributed
to such beneficiary or beneficiaries in accordance with this Agreement. Any other Restricted Stock 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 Restricted Stock in question may be transferred to your estate, in which event NCR will have no further liability to anyone with respect to such Restricted Stock. 

16. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable or invalid by a court
or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction (including an arbitration tribunal), it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Agreement, which will be enforced as permitted by law. 

17. The terms of this award of Restricted Stock as evidenced by this Agreement may be amended by the NCR Board of Directors or the
Committee. 
 18. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of
the Plan, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail, except that with respect to matters involving choice of law the terms and conditions of Section 13 of this Agreement shall prevail. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this award of Restricted Stock and your right to retain any shares of Restricted Stock that become
Vested hereunder are subject to your timely annual certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct.
