 Exhibit 10.18 (ii) 
 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
 2013 LONG TERM CASH INCENTIVE AWARD 

UNDER THE NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION 
 LONG TERM CASH INCENTIVE PLAN 
 Your Long Term Cash Incentive Award is subject to the
provisions of the Northern Trust Corporation Long Term Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Long Term Cash Incentive Award notice (the “Award Notice”), and this Terms and Conditions document (“Terms and Conditions”).
The Award Notice and these Terms and Condition constitute the “Long Term Cash Incentive Award Agreement” or “Award Agreement” as defined in the Plan. If there is any conflict between the information in the Award Agreement and the
Plan, the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms not defined in the Award Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 
  

	1.	Grant. The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant a Long Term Cash Incentive Award (the “Award”), as set forth in the Award Notice,
subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. The Award is the right, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement, to receive a distribution, on the date described in Paragraph 7, of the amount
credited to the Participant’s Long Cash Incentive Account as of that date. 

  

	2.	Long Term Cash Incentive Account. The Corporation shall maintain a Long-Term Cash Incentive Account (the “Account”) on its books in the name of
the Participant which shall reflect the Award Amount specified in the Award Notice. Such Account shall be credited with interest, from the date of grant through the date immediately preceding the date of distribution under Paragraph 7, at a
per-annum rate equal to the mid-term applicable federal rate for the month of February 2013, compounded annually. 

  

	3.	Forfeiture. The Award granted to the Participant pursuant to the Award Agreement shall be forfeited and revert to the Corporation (a) in accordance
with Paragraph 8, if the Participant engages in conduct or activity described in Paragraph 8 of these Terms and Conditions, or (b) except as described in Paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 of these Terms and Conditions, if the Participant’s employment
with the Corporation and all of its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the Vesting Date, as defined in Paragraph 4. 

  

	4.	Vesting. Subject to all of the provisions of the Award Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Paragraphs 3, 5, 6, and 8 of these
Terms and Conditions, the Participant shall become vested in the Award upon the date (referred to herein as the “Vesting Date”) that is the third anniversary of the date of grant of this Award, as specified in, and in accordance with, the
vesting schedule set forth in the Award Notice. If the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason prior to the end of the three-year period ending on the Vesting Date (the “Vesting
Period”), any portion of the Award that has not yet vested and does not become vested under Paragraph 5 or has not become vested under Paragraph 6, shall be forfeited and revert to the Corporation on such termination date, and the Corporation
shall have no

further obligation after such date with respect to such amount. The Corporation shall have no further obligation to the Participant under these Terms and Conditions following the
Participant’s forfeiture of the Award. 

  

	5.	Special Vesting. 

  

	 	(a)	The Participant shall cease to participate in the Plan under these Terms and Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the
Corporation and all of its Subsidiaries, subject to the following: 

  

	 	(b)	If the Participant’s termination of employment is on account of Retirement and occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period, and the Participant does not engage
in conduct or activity described in Paragraph 8 of these Terms and Conditions during the Vesting Period, and executes and returns an agreement, prior to the date of his or her termination, with such additional terms and conditions as the Committee
deems necessary or advisable, including without limitation additional covenants not to compete and to be accessible to the Corporation for consulting for the remainder of the Vesting Period, then, upon the Vesting Date, the Participant shall become
100% vested in the entire amount of the Participant’s Award. 

  

	 	(c)	If the Participant’s termination of employment is on account of death or Disability and occurs prior to the end of the Vesting Period, or, if prior to the end of
the Vesting Period, the Participant’s employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries is terminated under circumstances that entitle the Participant to severance benefits under the Northern Trust Corporation Severance Plan (the
“Severance Plan”) and the Participant has timely executed and not revoked a settlement agreement, waiver and release under the Severance Plan (a “Release”), then, upon the Vesting Date, the Participant shall become 100% vested in
the entire amount of the Participant’s Award. 

  

	 	(d)	For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Disability” means a disability that continues for a period of six (6) months in accordance with The Northern
Trust Company’s Managed Disability Program. For purposes of determining the date, if any, on which a Participant becomes vested under Paragraph 5(c) on account of Disability, the date of Disability shall be the last day of the six-month period
described in the preceding sentence. 

 For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Retirement” means
retirement occurring by reason of the Participant having qualified for a Normal, Early, or Postponed Retirement under The Northern Trust Company Pension Plan. 
  

	6.	Vesting Upon a Change in Control. A Participant who is employed by the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries upon the date of a Change in Control shall
become 100% vested in his or her Award upon the date of such Change in Control. 

  

	7.	Distribution.  


  
 2 









	 	(a)	 Subject to Paragraphs 7(b), and 7(c), below, in the case of an Award which becomes vested on the Vesting Date pursuant to Paragraph 4, Paragraph 5(b)
or 5(c), such Award shall be distributed on the Vesting Date, provided that such Award shall be treated as distributed on such Vesting Date if it is distributed no later than the last day of the calendar year in which such Vesting Date occurs, or,
if later, by the 15th day of the third calendar month
after such Vesting Date occurs, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(d), including without limitation the requirement that the employee shall in no event have the right directly or indirectly
to designate the taxable year of payment. 


  

	 	(b)	 In the case of an Award that becomes vested on the Vesting Date on account of the Participant’s death pursuant to Paragraph 5(c), distribution
shall be made to the Participant’s beneficiary on the Vesting Date, provided that such Award shall be treated as distributed on such Vesting Date if it is distributed no later than the last day of the calendar year in which such Vesting Date
occurs, or, if later, by the 15th day of the third
calendar month after such Vesting Date occurs, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(d), including without limitation the requirement that the beneficiary shall in no event have the right
directly or indirectly to designate the taxable year of payment. Such distribution shall be made to such beneficiary and in such proportions as the Participant may designate in writing, and in the absence of a designation, the Participant’s
beneficiary shall be one of the following persons determined in the order provided below: 


  

	 	•	 	 The Participant’s spouse; if none, then, 


  

	 	•	 	 The Participant’s children (in equal amounts); if none, then, 



 

	 	•	 	 The Participant’s parents (in equal amounts); if none, then, 



 

	 	•	 	 The Participant’s brothers and sisters (in equal amounts); if none, then, 



 

	 	•	 	 The Participant’s estate. 


 In the event of the Participant’s death after the expiration of the Vesting Period but prior to full distribution of the Award pursuant to these Terms and Conditions, the Participant’s Award
shall be distributed, within the period described in clause (a) above, to the Participant’s beneficiary determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause (b). 

 

	 	(c)	In the case of an Award that becomes vested as a result of a Change in Control, the Participant shall not be entitled to a distribution of such Award upon the date of
such Change in Control. Instead, an Award that becomes vested upon the date of a Change in Control shall be distributed only upon the date, or the occurrence of the event upon which, distribution would have been made in the absence of such Change in
Control. 

  

	 	(e)	The Award may be settled, in the discretion of the Committee, in cash or shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Award Agreement,
including without limitation this Paragraph 7, shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, including without limitation Section 8 of the Plan. 
  

	8.	Forfeitures and Recoupments. 

  

	 	(a)	Engaging in Restricted Activity Without Written Consent of the Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms and Conditions, if the
Participant, without the written consent of the Corporation: 

  

	 	(i)	at any time after the date of these Terms and Conditions, has divulged, directly or indirectly, or used, for the Participant’s own or another’s benefit, any
Confidential Information; 

  

	 	(ii)	at any time after the date of these Terms and Conditions and through a period of twelve (12) months after the Participant ceases to be employed by the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries for any reason, has Solicited, or assisted in the Solicitation of, any Client or Prospective Client (provided, however, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Participant’s Solicitation of any Client or
Prospective Client with whom he or she had a business relationship prior to the start of his or her employment with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, provided no Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, is used in such Solicitation); or


  

	 	(iii)	at any time after the date of these Terms and Conditions and through a period of twelve (12) months after the Participant ceases to be employed by the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries for any reason, has solicited, encouraged, advised, induced or caused any employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, or provided any
assistance, encouragement, information, or suggestion to any person or entity regarding the solicitation or hiring of any employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries; 


then the Participant’s then outstanding Award (whether vested or unvested) shall be forfeited to the Corporation by notice from the
Committee in writing to the Participant within a reasonable period of time after the Committee acquires knowledge of the Participant’s violation of this Paragraph 8(a). In the event that a Participant’s Award is forfeited pursuant to the
preceding sentence or the provisions of Paragraph 8(b), below, the Corporation shall not distribute the Award to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) pursuant to Paragraph 7. 

In addition, in the event of any action by the Participant to which clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), above, apply, the Corporation shall,
to the extent the Committee determines it practicable and in the best interests of the Corporation, and as permitted by applicable law, rescind any payment or delivery to the Participant with respect to any Award occurring within twelve
(12) months prior to, or at any time following, the date of the Participant’s termination of employment for any

reason (including but not limited to termination of employment due to Retirement or Disability), and recoup any “gain realized” in connection with such Awards as described in Paragraph
8(c) below. 
  

	 	(b)	Misconduct and Restatement of Financials. Consistent with the Corporation’s risk-mitigation strategies for its compensation programs, and notwithstanding
any other provision in these Terms and Conditions, in the event that: 

  

	 	(i)	the Corporation is required to restate its financial statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or re-file quarterly
financial data with the U.S. Federal Reserve due to any reason other than changes in accounting policy or applicable law (a “Restatement”), and the Committee determines that such Restatement resulted, in whole or in material part, from the
Participant (A) intentionally engaging in conduct that resulted in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and was inconsistent with the standards of conduct of the business judgment rule, as defined below, or
(B) personally and knowingly engaging in practices that materially contributed to circumstances that resulted in a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and that were inconsistent with the standards of conduct of the
business judgment rule; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Committee determines that the Participant has engaged in conduct that is grounds for termination for Cause and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct of the
business judgment rule (“Misconduct”); or 

  

	 	(iii)	the Corporation incurs material losses that the Committee determines are the direct and proximate result of excessively risky behavior by the Participant that was
inconsistent with the standards of conduct of the business judgment rule; 

 then the Committee shall review all
then outstanding Awards of the Participant (whether vested or unvested), and all amounts previously paid to the Participant with respect to any Award within the 36-month period immediately preceding the date of the Restatement, or during the period
after the date of the Misconduct, as applicable. 
 In the event of a Restatement described in clause (i), the Committee shall
declare the Participant’s then outstanding, vested Awards that would not have become vested based on accurate financial data or restated results to be forfeited to the Corporation by notice in writing to the Participant within a reasonable
period of time after the date of the Restatement, and the Corporation shall, to the extent the Committee determines it practicable and in the best interests of the Corporation, and as permitted by applicable law, rescind any payment of an Award to
the Participant occurring within 36 months prior to the date of the Restatement that would not have become vested or been paid based on accurate financial data or restated results and recoup any such payment as described in Paragraph 8(c),


  
 5 








 
below. In the event of Misconduct described in clause (ii) (other than any actions included in Paragraph 8(a) or clause (i) of this Paragraph 8(b)), the Committee shall declare the
Participant’s then outstanding Awards (whether vested or unvested) to be forfeited to the Corporation by notice in writing to the Participant within a reasonable period of time after the date of the discovery of the Misconduct, and the
Corporation shall, to the extent the Committee determines it practicable and in the best interests of the Corporation, and as permitted by applicable law, rescind any payment of any Award occurring after the date such Misconduct occurred and recoup
any such payment as described in Paragraph 8(c), below. In the case of an event described in clause (iii), the Corporation shall to the extent the Committee determines it practicable and in the best interests of the Corporation, and as permitted by
applicable law, rescind all or a portion of any payment of an Award occurring after the date of the Participant’s actions described in clause (iii), and recoup any such payment as described in Paragraph 8(c), below. 

A Participant’s actions satisfy the “business judgment rule” if such actions were taken in good faith, in a manner that an
ordinarily prudent person would act under similar circumstances, and in the interests of the Corporation. In interpreting and applying the preceding sentence, the Committee shall use as a guide the principles of the business judgment rule as
construed by the Delaware courts in applying the Delaware Corporation Act. 
  

	 	(c)	Rescission and Recoupment. The Corporation shall be entitled to recoup any payment that is rescinded pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 8(a) or 8(b)
of the Plan in such manner and on such terms as the Committee shall require. If the Participant fails to repay any such amounts to the Corporation within 60 days after receipt of written demand, the Corporation shall be entitled, subject to
applicable law and the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, to deduct from any amounts the Corporation owes the Participant from time to time the amount required to be repaid pursuant to this Paragraph 8(c), or to sue for
repayment of such amounts, or to pursue both remedies. 

  

	9.	Cancellation by the Committee. The Committee will consider cancelling and may cancel all or a portion of the Participant’s unvested Awards when
(a) there is reasonable evidence of material employee misbehavior or error, (b) the Corporation or the relevant business unit of the Corporation suffers a material downturn in its financial performance, attributable to a prior period and
materially greater than was previously anticipated in risk adjusting incentive compensation, or (c) the Corporation or the relevant business unit of the Corporation suffers a material failure of risk management. In the event that any of the
Participant’s unvested Awards are cancelled pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Corporation shall have no obligation to distribute the Awards to the Participant (or the Participant’s beneficiary) pursuant to Paragraph 7 or to pay any
interest pursuant to Paragraph 2 with respect to such Awards. 


  
 6 








 10. Adjustment. The Awards provided herein are subject to adjustment in accordance with
the provisions of Section 5 of the Plan. 
 11. No Right to Employment. Nothing in the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be
construed as creating any right in the Participant to continued employment or as altering or amending the existing terms and conditions of employment of the Participant except as otherwise specifically provided in the Award Agreement. 

12. Nontransferability. No interest hereunder of the Participant is transferable except as provided in the Award Agreement. 

13. Withholding/Delivery of Shares. All distributions hereunder are subject to withholding by the Corporation for all applicable federal,
state or local taxes. With respect to distributions in shares of Common Stock, subject to such rules and limitations as may be established by the Committee from time to time, such withholding obligations shall be satisfied through the withholding of
shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be distributed to the Participant under the Award, provided, however, that such shares may be used to satisfy not more than the Corporation’s minimum statutory withholding obligation (based on
minimum statutory withholding rates for Federal and state tax purposes, including payroll taxes, that are applicable to such taxable income). 

14. Administration. The Plan is administered by the Committee. The rights of the Participant hereunder are expressly subject to the terms
and conditions of the Plan (including continued shareholder approval of the Plan), together with such guidelines as have been or may be adopted from time to time by the Committee. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

 15. No Rights as Shareholder. Except as provided herein, the Participant will have no rights as a shareholder with respect to
the Award. 
 16. Interpretation and Applicable Law. Any interpretation by the Committee of the terms and conditions of the Plan,
the Award Agreement or any guidelines shall be final. All questions pertaining to the validity, construction and administration of the Plan or the Award Agreement, and all claims or causes of action arising under, relating to, or in connection with,
the Plan or the Award Agreement shall be determined in conformity with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any state. 
 17. Sole Agreement. The Award Agreement, together with the Plan, is the entire Agreement between the parties hereto, all prior oral and written representations being merged herein. No
amendment or modification of the terms of the Award Agreement shall be binding on either party unless reduced to writing and signed by the party to be bound. The Award Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the parties hereto and their respective successors. Notwithstanding anything in the Award Agreement to the contrary, including without limitation the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 17, in the event that the Committee determines that the
Award, or the performance by the Corporation of any of its obligations under the Award Agreement, would violate any applicable law, the Award shall be

forfeited to the Corporation and cancelled, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to distribute the Award to the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary.
