Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by NCR Corporation (NCR, the Company, we or us) without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for each period presented. The consolidated results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The 2014 year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with NCR’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date that our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were issued. Except as described below, no matters were identified that required adjustment of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or additional disclosure.

In connection with Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” the Company’s petition for mandamus with respect to the March 2015 ruling on operable unit 1 of the Fox River was denied on May 1, 2015. The appellate court indicated the issues raised in the Company’s petition could be addressed in an appeal in the regular course, which the Company will undertake if it is found liable for any damages for that portion of the river, as to which the Company will continue to seek a zero liability allocation.

Reclassifications Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation.

Related Party Transactions In 2011, concurrent with the sale of a noncontrolling interest in our subsidiary, NCR Brasil - Indústria de Equipamentos para Automação S.A., (NCR Manaus) to Scopus Tecnologia Ltda. (Scopus), we entered into a Master Purchase Agreement (MPA) with Banco Bradesco SA (Bradesco), the parent of Scopus. Through the MPA, Bradesco agreed to purchase up to 30,000 ATMs from us over the 5-year term of the agreement. Pricing of the ATMs will adjust over the term of the MPA using certain formulas which are based on prevailing market pricing. We recognized revenue related to Bradesco totaling $18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had $10 million and $15 million, respectively, in receivables outstanding from Bradesco.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued changes to the criteria for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations. The changes require a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: (i) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, (ii) the component of an entity or group or components of an entity is disposed of by sale, or (iii) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. The amendments apply on a prospective basis to disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of the amended accounting guidance on January 1, 2015 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Issued

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new revenue recognition standard, superseding previous revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers

Table of Contents

NCR Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with no early adoption permitted, and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In April 2015, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date by one year. Under the proposal, the new revenue standard would be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to disclosures around going concern, including management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures when conditions or events raise substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The impact of adopting this guidance on January 1, 2017 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the presentation of debt issuance costs, which amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of a deferred charge asset. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for the fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If considered a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as an acquisition of a software license. If not considered a software license, the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

2. RESTRUCTURING PLAN

On July 29, 2014, we announced a restructuring plan to strategically reallocate resources so that we can focus on our higher-growth, higher-margin opportunities in the software-driven consumer transaction technologies industry. The program is centered on ensuring that our people and processes are aligned with our continued transformation and includes: rationalizing our product portfolio to eliminate overlap and redundancy; taking steps to end-of-life older commodity product lines that are costly to maintain and provide low margins; moving lower productivity services positions to our new centers of excellence due to the positive impact of services innovation; and reducing layers of management and organizing around divisions to improve decision-making, accountability and strategic execution.

As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company recorded a total charge of $16 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company expects to achieve annualized run-rate savings of approximately $105 million beginning in 2016. The Company expects that it may identify additional restructuring-related opportunities in connection with this restructuring plan, and may incur additional charges through 2015 related to such additional opportunities. Such additional charges are not reasonably estimable at this time as the Company is in the process of defining the nature and scope of these additional opportunities and quantifying the impact thereof.

Severance and other employee related costs The Company made $11 million and $4 million in severance-related payments under ASC 712 and ASC 420, respectively, related to the restructuring plan in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Inventory-related charges The Company recorded $1 million of inventory-related charges for rationalizing its product portfolio to eliminate overlap and redundancy and to end-of-life older commodity product lines that are costly to maintain and provide low margins.

Asset-related charges The Company recorded a $14 million impairment of long-lived assets that are no longer considered strategic and were held for sale. As of March 31, 2015, the carrying amount of the long-lived assets classified as held for sale was $17 million. The Company utilized Level 3 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value.

Other exit costs The Company recorded and paid $1 million for lease and other contract termination costs.

⁽¹⁾	Interest rates are weighted average interest rates as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which incorporate the impact of the interest rate swap agreement described in Note 11, "Derivatives and Hedging Instruments."


⁽²⁾	Interest rates are weighted average interest rates as of March 31, 2015 and 2014 primarily related to various international credit facilities and a note payable in the U.S.

Senior Secured Credit Facility The Company is party to a senior secured credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (JPMCB), as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (as amended, the Senior Secured Credit Facility). As of March 31, 2015, the Senior Secured Credit Facility consisted of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.35 billion, and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850 million. The revolving credit facility also allows a portion of the availability to be used for outstanding letters of credit, and as of March 31, 2015, there were no outstanding letters of credit.

The outstanding principal balance of the term loan facility is required to be repaid in equal quarterly installments in annual amounts. The repayment schedule requires quarterly installments of approximately $17 million beginning September 30, 2014, approximately $26 million beginning September 30, 2015, and approximately $34 million beginning September 30, 2016, with the balance being due at maturity on July 25, 2018. Borrowings under the revolving portion of the credit facility are due July 25, 2018. Amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the administrative agent's “prime rate” and (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00% (the Base Rate) or LIBOR, plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% for Base Rate-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans and ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% for LIBOR-based loans that are either term loans or revolving loans, depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. The terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility also require certain other fees and payments to be made by the Company, including a commitment fee on the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility.

The Company's obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Secured Credit Facility and these guarantees are secured by a first priority lien and security interest in certain equity interests owned by the Company and the guarantor subsidiaries in certain of their respective domestic and foreign subsidiaries, and a perfected first priority lien and security interest in substantially all of the Company's U.S. assets and the assets of the guarantor subsidiaries, subject to certain exclusions. These security interests would be released if the Company achieves an “investment grade” rating, and will remain released so long as the Company maintains that rating.

a consolidated leverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter, not to exceed (i) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2014 and on or prior to December 31, 2016, (a) the sum of (x) 4.25 and (y) an amount (not to exceed 0.50) to reflect new debt used to reduce NCR's underfunded pension liabilities, to (b) 1.00, (ii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2016 and on or prior to December 31, 2017, 4.00 to 1.00, and (iii) in the case of any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2017, 3.75 to 1.00; and


•	an interest coverage ratio on the last day of any fiscal quarter greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00.

At March 31, 2015, the maximum consolidated leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.35 to 1.00.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains events of default, which are customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may, among other things, terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and require cash collateral deposits in respect of outstanding letters of credit. If the Company is unable to pay or repay the amounts due, the lenders could, among other things, proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure such indebtedness.

The Company may request, at any time and from time to time, but the lenders are not obligated to fund, the establishment of one or more incremental term loans and/or revolving credit facilities (subject to the agreement of existing lenders or additional financial institutions to provide such term loans and/or revolving credit facilities) with commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the greater of (i) $150 million, and (ii) such amount as would not (a) prior to the date that the Company obtains an investment grade rating cause the leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, calculated on a pro forma basis including the incremental facility and assuming that it and the revolver are fully drawn, to exceed 2.50 to 1.00, and (b) on and after the date that the Company obtains an investment grade rating cause the leverage ratio under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, calculated on a pro forma basis including the incremental facility and assuming that it and the revolver are fully drawn, to exceed a ratio that is 0.50 less than the leverage ratio then applicable under the financial covenants of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the proceeds of which can be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes.

Senior Unsecured Notes On September 17, 2012, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due in 2022 (the 5.00% Notes). The 5.00% Notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on July 15, 2022. On December 18, 2012, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due in 2021 (the 4.625% Notes).

The terms of the indentures for these notes limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock; pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments; incur liens; sell assets; incur restrictions on the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to pay dividends to the Company; enter into affiliate transactions; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company's or such subsidiaries' assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. For example, if these notes are assigned an investment grade rating by Moody's or S&P and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be terminated.

Trade Receivables Securitization Facility In November 2014, the Company established a two-year revolving trade receivables securitization facility (the A/R Facility) with PNC Bank, National Association (PNC) as the administrative agent, and various lenders. The A/R Facility provides for up to $200 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions.

Under the A/R Facility, NCR sells and/or contributes certain of its U.S. trade receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary as they are originated, and advances by the lenders to that subsidiary are secured by those trade receivables. The assets of this financing subsidiary are restricted as collateral for the payment of its obligations under the A/R Facility, and its assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of the Company. The Company includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations of this financing subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements. The financing subsidiary owned $417 million and $373 million of outstanding accounts receivable as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and these amounts are included in accounts receivable, net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The financing subsidiary will pay annual commitment and other customary fees to the lenders, and advances by a lender under the A/R Facility will accrue interest (i) at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR rate or a base rate equal to the highest of (a) the applicable lender’s prime rate or (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, if the lender is a committed lender, or (ii) based on commercial paper interests rates if the lender is a commercial paper conduit lender. Advances may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

The A/R Facility contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the advances under the A/R Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to pay interest or principal when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.

Fair Value of Debt The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt, which, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $3.62 billion and $3.67 billion, respectively. Management's fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of NCR’s long-term debt, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.

6. INCOME TAXES

Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate calculated separately from the effect of significant, infrequent or unusual items. Income tax expense was $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily driven by the decrease in earnings, partially offset by a reduction in discrete benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

7. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s primary types of stock-based compensation were restricted stock and stock options. Stock-based compensation expense for the following periods was:



In millions	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Restricted stock	$9	$10
Stock options	—	—
Total stock-based compensation (pre-tax)	9	10
Tax benefit	(3)	(4)
Total stock-based compensation (net of tax)	$6	$6

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements based upon fair value. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not grant any stock options. As of March 31, 2015, the total unrecognized compensation cost of $112 million related to unvested restricted stock grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Components of net periodic benefit cost (income) for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

Employer Contributions

Pension For the three months ended March 31, 2015, NCR contributed approximately $7 million to its international pension plans. In 2015, NCR anticipates contributing an additional $28 million to its international pension plans for a total of $35 million. NCR may make one or more additional discretionary contributions over the next twelve months, but no such contributions are currently scheduled.

Postretirement For the three months ended March 31, 2015, NCR contributed $1 million to its U.S. postretirement plan. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $3 million to its U.S. postretirement plan for a total of $4 million in 2015.

Postemployment For the three months ended March 31, 2015, NCR contributed approximately $11 million to its postemployment plans. NCR anticipates contributing an additional $69 million to its postemployment plans for a total of $80 million in 2015, which includes planned contributions associated with the previously announced restructuring plan. See Note 2, "Restructuring Plan," for additional information.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, NCR is subject to various proceedings, lawsuits, claims and other matters, including, for example, those that relate to the environment and health and safety, labor and employment, employee benefits, import/export compliance, intellectual property, data privacy and security, product liability, commercial disputes and regulatory compliance, among others. Additionally, NCR is subject to diverse and complex laws and regulations, including those relating to corporate governance, public disclosure and reporting, environmental safety and the discharge of materials into the environment, product safety, import and export compliance, data privacy and security, antitrust and competition, government contracting, anti-corruption, and labor and human resources, which are rapidly changing and subject to many possible changes in the future. Compliance with these laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation requirements, and federal securities laws among others, may create a substantial burden on, and substantially increase costs to NCR or could have an impact on NCR's future operating results. NCR believes the amounts provided in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as prescribed by GAAP, are currently adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities with respect to such matters, but there can be no assurances that the amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from such matters will not impact future operating results. Other than as stated below, the Company does not currently expect to incur material capital expenditures related to such matters. However, there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged liabilities from various lawsuits, claims, legal proceedings and other matters, including, but not limited to the Fox River and Kalamazoo River environmental matters and other matters discussed below, and to comply with applicable laws and regulations, will not exceed the amounts reflected in NCR’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations, capital expenditures, competitive position, financial condition or cash flows. Any costs that may be incurred in excess of those amounts provided as of March 31, 2015 cannot currently be reasonably determined, or are not currently considered probable.

In 2012, NCR received anonymous allegations from a purported whistleblower regarding certain aspects of the Company's business practices in China, the Middle East and Africa. The principal allegations received in 2012 relate to the Company's compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and federal regulations that prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in certain activities in Syria. NCR promptly retained experienced outside counsel and began an internal investigation of those allegations that was completed in January 2013. On August 31, 2012, the Board of Directors received a demand letter from an individual shareholder demanding that the Board investigate and take action in connection with certain of the whistleblower allegations. The Board formed a Special Committee to investigate those matters, and that Special Committee also separately retained experienced outside counsel, and completed an investigation in January 2013. On January 23, 2013, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

following its review, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution rejecting the shareholder demand. As part of its resolution, the Board determined, among other things, that the officers and directors named in the demand had not breached their fiduciary duties and that the Company would not commence litigation against the named officers and directors. The Board further resolved to review measures proposed and implemented by management to strengthen the Company's compliance with trade embargos, export control laws and anti-bribery laws. In March 2013, the shareholder who sent the demand filed a derivative action in a Georgia state court, naming as defendants three Company officers, five members of the Board of Directors, and the Company as a nominal defendant. As reported in prior filings, the litigation and associated shareholder demands have been resolved.

With respect to Syria, in 2012 NCR voluntarily notified the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of potential violations and ceased operations in Syria, which were commercially insignificant. The notification related to confusion stemming from the Company's failure to register in Syria the transfer of the Company's Syrian branch to a foreign subsidiary and to deregister the Company's legacy Syrian branch, which was a branch of NCR Corporation. The Company has applied for and received from OFAC various licenses that have permitted the Company to take measures required to wind down its past operations in Syria. The Company also submitted a detailed report to OFAC regarding this matter, including a description of the Company's comprehensive export control program and related remedial measures.

With respect to the FCPA, the Company made a presentation to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) providing the facts known to the Company related to the whistleblower's FCPA allegations, and advising the government that many of these allegations were unsubstantiated. The Company is responding to subpoenas of the SEC and requests of the DOJ for documents and information related to the FCPA, including matters related to the whistleblower's FCPA allegations. The Company's investigations of the whistleblower's FCPA allegations identified a few opportunities to strengthen the Company's comprehensive FCPA compliance program, and the Company continues to evaluate and enhance its compliance program as appropriate.

The Company is fully cooperating with the authorities with respect to all of these matters. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to fines or other remedial measures as a result of OFAC's, the SEC's or the DOJ's investigations.

In relation to a patent infringement case filed by a company known as Automated Transactions LLC (ATL), the Company agreed to defend and indemnify its customers, 7-Eleven and Cardtronics. On behalf of those customers, the Company won summary judgment in the case in March 2011. ATL's appeal of that ruling was decided in favor of 7-Eleven and Cardtronics in 2012, and its petition for review by the United States Supreme Court was denied in January 2013. ATL contended that Vcom terminals sold by the Company to 7-Eleven (Cardtronics ultimately purchased the business from 7-Eleven) infringed certain ATL patents that purport to relate to the combination of an ATM with an Internet kiosk, in which a retail transaction can be realized over an Internet connection provided by the kiosk. Independent of the litigation, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) rejected the parent patent as invalid in view of certain prior art, although related continuation patents were not reexamined by the USPTO. ATL filed a second suit against the same companies with respect to a broader range of ATMs, based on the same patents plus additional more recently issued patents; that suit was consolidated with the first case. In the course of the litigation ATL conceded that the ATMs used by 7-Eleven and Cardtronics did not infringe the ATL patents and granted these NCR customers a covenant not to sue. In light of the covenant, on November 25, 2014 the Court dismissed the consolidated lawsuits against 7-Eleven and Cardtronics with prejudice. Because ATL had raised claims of alleged infringement with other NCR customers, the Company had filed in the same court a declaratory judgment action against ATL seeking to invalidate the ATL patents. In March 2015, the court dismissed that action for lack of jurisdiction, finding no case or controversy was present based on ATL’s representations it is not currently asserting the patents against the Company or its customers. The dismissal is without prejudice to refiling if ATL or a successor in interest reasserts the affected patents against NCR or its customers.

In June 2014, one of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries, NCR Manaus, was notified of a Brazilian federal tax assessment of R$168 million, or approximately $52 million as of March 31, 2015, including penalties and interest regarding certain federal indirect taxes for 2010 through 2012. The assessment alleges improper importation of certain components into Brazil's free trade zone that would nullify related indirect tax incentives. We have not recorded an accrual for the assessment, as the Company believes it has a valid position regarding indirect taxes in Brazil and, as such, has filed an appeal. However, it is possible that the Company could be required to pay taxes, penalties and interest related to this matter, which could be material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company estimated the aggregate risk related to this matter to be zero to approximately $54 million as of March 31, 2015.

Environmental Matters NCR's facilities and operations are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, and NCR has investigatory and remedial activities underway at a number of facilities that it currently owns or operates, or formerly owned or operated, to comply, or to determine compliance, with such laws. Also, NCR has been identified, either by a government agency or by a private party seeking contribution to site clean-up costs, as a potentially responsible party (PRP) at a number of sites

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

pursuant to various state and federal laws, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and comparable state statutes. Other than the Fox River matter and the Kalamazoo River matter detailed below, we currently do not anticipate material expenses and liabilities from these environmental matters.

Fox River NCR is one of eight entities that were formally notified by governmental and other entities, such as local Native American tribes, that they are PRPs for environmental claims (under CERCLA and other statutes) arising out of the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sediments in the lower Fox River and in the Bay of Green Bay in Wisconsin. The other Fox River PRPs that received notices are Appleton Papers Inc. (API; now known as Appvion, Inc.), P.H. Glatfelter Company (“Glatfelter”), Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP (GP, successor to Fort James Operating Company), WTM I Co. (formerly Wisconsin Tissue Mills, now owned by Canal Corporation, formerly known as Chesapeake Corporation), CBC Corporation (formerly Riverside Paper Corporation), U.S. Paper Mills Corp. (owned by Sonoco Products Company), and Menasha Corporation. NCR was identified as a PRP because of alleged PCB discharges from two carbonless copy paper manufacturing facilities it previously owned, which were located along the Fox River. NCR sold its facilities in 1978 to API. Some parties contend that NCR is also responsible for PCB discharges from paper mills owned by other companies because NCR carbonless copy paper "broke" was allegedly purchased by those other mills as a raw material.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (together, the Governments) developed clean-up plans for the upper and lower parts of the Fox River and for portions of the Bay of Green Bay. On November 13, 2007, the Governments issued a unilateral administrative order (the 2007 Order) under CERCLA to the eight original PRPs, requiring them to perform remedial work under the Governments’ clean-up plan for the lower parts of the river (operable units 2 through 5). In April 2009, NCR and API formed a limited liability company (the LLC), which entered into an agreement with an environmental remediation contractor to perform the work at the Fox River site. In-water dredging and remediation under the clean-up plan commenced shortly thereafter.

NCR and API, along with B.A.T Industries p.l.c. (BAT), share a portion of the cost of the Fox River clean-up and natural resource damages (NRD) based upon a 1998 agreement (the Cost Sharing Agreement), a 2005 arbitration award (subsequently confirmed as a judgment), and a September 30, 2014 Funding Agreement (the Funding Agreement). The Cost Sharing Agreement and the arbitration resolved disputes that arose out of the Company's 1978 sale of its Fox River facilities to API. The Cost Sharing Agreement and arbitration award resulted in a 45% share for NCR of the first $75 million of such costs (a threshold that was reached in 2008), and a 40% share for amounts in excess of $75 million. The Funding Agreement, which followed from a 2012 to 2014 dispute between NCR and API, provides for regular, ongoing funding of NCR-incurred Fox River remediation costs, via contributions to a new limited liability corporation created by the Funding Agreement made by BAT, API and, for 2014, API's indemnitor, Windward Prospects. The Funding Agreement creates an obligation on BAT and API to fund 50% of NCR’s Fox River remediation costs from October 1, 2014 forward; the Funding Agreement also provides NCR opportunities to recoup, both indirectly from third parties and directly, the difference between BAT’s and API’s 60% obligation under the Cost Sharing Agreement and their 50% obligation under the Funding Agreement, as well as the difference between the amount the non-NCR parties paid under the Funding Agreement and the amount owed to NCR under the Cost Sharing Agreement for the period from April 2012 through the end of September 2014.

Various litigation proceedings concerning the Fox River are pending, and, as the result of appellate decisions in September 2014, NCR’s potential liability for the Fox River matter, for purposes of calculating the Company’s Fox River reserve, is no longer considered to be 100% of the remediation costs in the lower parts of the river. In a contribution action filed in 2008 seeking to determine allocable responsibility of several companies and governmental entities, a federal court in Wisconsin had issued rulings in 2009 and 2011 that effectively placed all remediation liability on NCR for four of the five “operable units” of the site. In another part of the same lawsuit, the Company prevailed in a 2012 trial on claims seeking to hold it liable under an “arranger” theory for the most upriver portion of the site, operable unit 1.

On September 25, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued its ruling on appeal. That ruling vacated the lower court’s contribution decisions that were adverse to NCR (i.e., it vacated “the decision to hold NCR responsible for all of the response costs at operable units 2 through 5 in contribution”), set aside an adverse judgment against the Company in the amount of $76 million, and affirmed the Company’s favorable verdict in the “arranger” liability trial with respect to operable unit 1. The case was remanded to the federal district court in Wisconsin for further proceedings, for potential consideration of additional factors noted by the appellate court, in which proceedings NCR will vigorously contest the amount of remediation costs allocable to it, and seek to recover from other parties portions of the costs it has previously paid. The case is scheduled for trial on June 13, 2016. In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, under a case management order applicable to the remanded case the federal district court allowed the filing of certain additional contractual and other claims, including claims against the Company, as well as certain claims by API against other parties (in light of the September 2014 appellate ruling that had restored those claims), which resulted

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

in claims for potential indemnity by those other parties against the Company (under the Funding Agreement, to the extent the Company is liable for such claims, API must pay its recoveries into the limited liability corporation created by the Funding Agreement, and the Company may then seek to obtain reimbursement under its terms). The Company also updated the amounts it is seeking in its affirmative claims against other parties. Additionally, in March 2015, notwithstanding the prior trial and appellate results that had been favorable to the Company, the court entered a ruling holding NCR liable for contamination in operable unit 1, an area upriver from the Company’s former facilities, on what the court considered to be new guidance created by the appellate court in its September 2014 decision. The Company believes the new ruling incorrectly applies the appellate court ruling and is in excess of the authority accorded to the trial court by the appellate court, and the Company is seeking special appellate review in the form of a petition for mandamus.

In 2010, the Governments filed a lawsuit (the Government enforcement action) in Wisconsin federal court against the companies named in the 2007 Order. After a 2012 trial, in May 2013 that court held, among other things, that harm at the site is not divisible, and it entered a declaratory judgment against seven defendants (including NCR), finding them jointly and severally liable to comply with the applicable provisions of the 2007 Order. The court also issued an injunction against four companies (including NCR), ordering them to comply with the applicable provisions of the 2007 Order; only NCR had complied with the injunction. Several parties, including NCR, appealed from the judgment. In a companion opinion to the ruling described in the preceding paragraph, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, also on September 25, 2014, vacated the injunction, and also vacated the declaratory judgment that had been entered against the Company. (The declaratory judgment with respect to liability under the 2007 Order against another defendant, Glatfelter, which pursued its appeal on grounds different from those pursued by NCR, was affirmed.) The court also ruled that NCR’s defense based on divisibility of harm at the site, which the district court had rejected, must be reconsidered by that court. The case is on remand to the federal district court in Wisconsin for further proceedings, in which NCR will seek to have its divisibility defense upheld, and seek to have portions of remediation liability, including the responsibility to perform remaining work, apportioned to other parties. (With respect to remaining remediation work, one other PRP, GP, has agreed by virtue of an earlier settlement with the Governments that it is “liable to the United States . . . for performance of all response actions that the [2007 Order] requires for” the lower portion of operable unit 4 and operable unit 5.) In the remanded case the Governments filed a motion to restore the declaratory judgment against the Company in the quarter ending December 31, 2014; that motion remained under submission at the end of the first quarter of 2015.

With respect to ongoing remediation, following negotiations with the Governments and GP the Company agreed to perform a portion of the work planned for 2015, and to fund approximately one-third of the cost of the total planned 2015 work, with GP funding an equal amount. This agreement has been formalized in a consent decree filed with the federal court; each party is preserving its rights to recover its 2015 costs from the other in the contribution litigation. The Governments are demanding that Glatfelter agree to perform or fund the remaining approximate one-third of the work. Remediation work for the 2015 season commenced on March 31, 2015.

With respect to the Company’s prior dispute with API, which was generally superseded by the Funding Agreement, the Company has continued to receive timely payments under the Funding Agreement.

NCR's eventual remediation liability, which is expected to be paid out over a period extending through approximately 2017, followed by long-term monitoring, will depend on a number of factors. In establishing the reserve, NCR attempts to estimate a range of reasonably possible outcomes for each of these factors, although each range is itself uncertain. NCR uses its best estimate within the range, if that is possible. Where there is a range of equally possible outcomes, and there is no amount within that range that is considered to be a better estimate than any other amount, NCR uses the low end of the range. In general, the most significant factors include: (1) the total remaining clean-up costs; (2) total NRD for the site; (3) the share of clean-up costs and NRD that NCR will bear; (4) NCR's transaction and litigation costs to defend itself in this matter; and (5) the share of NCR's payments that API and/or BAT will bear, as discussed above.

Calculation of the Company's Fox River reserve is subject to several complexities, and it is possible there could be additional changes to some elements of the reserve over upcoming periods, although the Company is unable to predict or estimate such changes at this time. There can be no assurance that the clean-up and related expenditures and liabilities will not have a material effect on NCR's capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition, cash flows, or competitive position. As of March 31, 2015, the net reserve for the Fox River matter was approximately $39 million, compared to $40 million as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in the net reserve is due to payments for clean-up activities and litigation costs. NCR contributes to the LLC in order to fund remediation activities and generally, by contract, has funded certain amounts of remediation expenses in advance. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately zero remained from this funding. NCR's reserve for the Fox River matter is reduced as the LLC makes payments to the remediation contractor and other vendors with respect to remediation activities.

Under a 1996 agreement, AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent are responsible severally (not jointly) for indemnifying NCR for certain portions of the amounts paid by NCR for the Fox River matter over a defined threshold and subject to certain offsets. (The agreement governs certain aspects of AT&T Corp.'s divestiture of NCR and of what was then known as Lucent Technologies.) NCR's estimate of what AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent remain obligated to pay under the indemnity totaled approximately $25 million and $30 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and is deducted in determining the net reserve discussed above.

In connection with the Fox River and other matters, through March 31, 2015, NCR has received a combined total of approximately $173 million in settlements reached with its principal insurance carriers. Portions of most of these settlements are payable to a law firm that litigated the claims on the Company's behalf. Some of the settlements cover not only the Fox River but also other environmental sites. Of the total amount collected to date, $9 million is subject to competing claims by API.

Kalamazoo River In November 2010, USEPA issued a "general notice letter" to NCR with respect to the Allied Paper, Inc./Portage Creek/Kalamazoo River Superfund Site (Kalamazoo River site) in Michigan. Three other companies - International Paper, Mead Corporation, and Consumers Energy - also received general notice letters at or about the same time. USEPA asserts that the site is contaminated by various substances, primarily PCBs, as a result of discharges by various paper mills located along the river. USEPA does not claim that the Company made direct discharges into the Kalamazoo River, but indicated that "NCR may be liable under Section 107 of CERCLA ... as an arranger, who by contract or agreement, arranged for the disposal, treatment and/or transportation of hazardous substances at the Site." USEPA stated that it "may issue special notice letters to [NCR] and other PRPs for future RI/FS [remedial investigation / feasibility studies] and RD/RA [remedial design / remedial action] negotiations."

In connection with the Kalamazoo River site, in December 2010 the Company, along with two other defendants, was sued in federal court by three GP affiliate corporations in a contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution. The suit, pending in Michigan, asks that the Company pay a "fair portion" of these companies’ costs, which are represented in the complaint as $79 million to that point in time; various removal and remedial actions remain to be performed at the Kalamazoo River site, the costs for which have not been determined. The suit alleges that the Company is liable as an "arranger" under CERCLA. The initial phase of the case was tried in a Michigan federal court in February 2013; on September 26, 2013 the court issued a decision that held NCR was liable as an “arranger,” as of at least March 1969. (PCB-containing carbonless copy paper was produced from approximately 1954 to April 1971.) The Court did not determine NCR’s share of the overall liability or how NCR’s liability relates to the liability of other liable or potentially liable parties at the site. Relative shares of liability will be litigated in a subsequent phase of the case, with trial scheduled to commence on September 22, 2015; NCR has preserved its right to appeal the September 2013 decision, and in March 2015 moved for the dismissal of all or some of the claims against it on the basis of applicable statutes of limitations. If the Company is found liable for money damages or otherwise with respect to the Kalamazoo River site, it would have claims against BAT and API under the Cost Sharing Agreement, the arbitration award, the judgment and the Funding Agreement discussed above in connection with the Fox River matter (the Funding Agreement may provide partial reimbursement of such damages depending on the extent of certain recoveries, if any, against third parties under its terms). The Company would also have claims against AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent under the arrangement discussed above in connection with the Fox River matter.

Environmental Remediation Estimates It is difficult to estimate the future financial impact of environmental laws, including potential liabilities. NCR records environmental provisions when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the liability is reasonably estimable. Provisions for estimated losses from environmental restoration and remediation are, depending on the site, based generally on internal and third-party environmental studies, estimates as to the number and participation level of other PRPs, the extent of contamination, estimated amounts for attorney and other fees, and the nature of required clean-up and restoration actions. Reserves are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Management expects that the amounts reserved from time to time will be paid out over the period of investigation, negotiation, remediation and restoration for the applicable sites. The amounts provided for environmental matters in NCR's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are the estimated gross undiscounted amounts of such liabilities, without deductions for indemnity insurance, third-party indemnity claims or recoveries from other PRPs, except as qualified in the following sentences. Except for the sharing agreement with API described above with respect to a particular insurance settlement, in those cases where insurance carriers or third-party indemnitors have agreed to pay any amounts and management believes that collectibility of such amounts is probable, the amounts are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the Fox River site, as described above, assets relating to the AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent indemnity and to the API/BAT obligations are recorded as payment is supported by contractual agreements, public filings and/or payment history.

Guarantees and Product Warranties Guarantees associated with NCR’s business activities are reviewed for appropriateness and impact to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, NCR had no material obligations related to such guarantees, and therefore its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not have any associated liability balance.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—(Continued)

NCR provides its customers a standard manufacturer’s warranty and records, at the time of the sale, a corresponding estimated liability for potential warranty costs. Estimated future obligations due to warranty claims are based upon historical factors, such as labor rates, average repair time, travel time, number of service calls per machine and cost of replacement parts. When a sale is consummated, the total customer revenue is recognized, provided that all revenue recognition criteria are otherwise satisfied, and the associated warranty liability is recorded using pre-established warranty percentages for the respective product classes.

From time to time, product design or quality corrections are accomplished through modification programs. When identified, associated costs of labor and parts for such programs are estimated and accrued as part of the warranty reserve.

The Company recorded the activity related to the warranty reserve for the three months ended March 31 as follows:



In millions	2015		2014
Warranty reserve liability
Beginning balance as of January 1	$	22	$	22
Accruals for warranties issued	9		8
Settlements (in cash or in kind)	(9)		(9)
Ending balance as of March 31	$	22	$	21

In addition, NCR provides its customers with certain indemnification rights. In general, NCR agrees to indemnify the customer if a third party asserts patent or other infringement on the part of its customers for its use of the Company’s products subject to certain conditions that are generally standard within the Company’s industries. On limited occasions the Company will undertake additional indemnification obligations for business reasons. From time to time, NCR also enters into agreements in connection with its acquisition and divestiture activities that include indemnification obligations by the Company. The fair value of these indemnification obligations is not readily determinable due to the conditional nature of the Company’s potential obligations and the specific facts and circumstances involved with each particular agreement. The Company has not recorded a liability in connection with these indemnifications, and no current indemnification instance is material to the Company’s financial position. Historically, payments made by the Company under these types of agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to NCR by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reported period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding includes the dilution from potential shares added from unvested restricted stock awards and stock options. The holders of unvested restricted stock awards do not have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents and therefore, such unvested awards do not qualify as participating securities. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no anti-dilutive options.

11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING INSTRUMENTS

NCR is exposed to risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. NCR utilizes a variety of measures to monitor and manage these risks, including the use of derivative financial instruments. NCR has exposure to approximately 50 functional currencies. Since a substantial portion of our operations and revenues occur outside the U.S., and in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, our results can be significantly impacted, both positively and negatively, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The accounting guidance for derivatives and hedging requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions when they are determined to be highly effective at inception.

Our risk management strategy includes hedging, on behalf of certain subsidiaries, a portion of our forecasted, non-functional currency denominated cash flows for a period of up to 15 months. As a result, some of the impact of currency fluctuations on non-functional currency denominated transactions (and hence on subsidiary operating income, as stated in the functional currency), is mitigated in the near term. The amount we hedge and the duration of hedge contracts may vary significantly. In the longer term (greater than 15 months), the subsidiaries are still subject to the effect of translating the functional currency results to U.S. Dollars. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on the operations of our foreign subsidiaries, we hedge our main transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. This is primarily done through the hedging of foreign currency denominated inter-company inventory purchases by NCR’s marketing units and the foreign currency denominated inputs to our manufacturing units. The related foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. The gains or losses on these hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and reclassified to income when the underlying hedged transaction is recorded in earnings. As of March 31, 2015, the balance in AOCI related to foreign exchange derivative transactions was a gain of $6 million, net of tax. The gains or losses from derivative contracts related to inventory purchases are recorded in cost of products when the inventory is sold to an unrelated third party.

We also utilize foreign exchange contracts to hedge our exposure of assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. We recognize the gains and losses on these types of hedges in earnings as exchange rates change. We do not enter into hedges for speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is party to an interest rate swap agreement that fixes the interest rate on a portion of the Company's LIBOR indexed floating rate borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility through August 22, 2016. The notional amount of the interest rate swap as of March 31, 2015 was $448 million and amortizes to $341 million over the term. The Company designates the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of forecasted quarterly interest payments made on three-month LIBOR indexed borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The interest rate swap was determined to be highly effective at inception.

Our risk management strategy includes hedging a portion of our forecasted interest payments. These transactions are forecasted and the related interest rate swap agreement is designated as a highly effective cash flow hedge. The gains or losses on this hedge are deferred in AOCI and reclassified to income when the underlying hedged transaction is recorded in earnings. As of March 31, 2015, the balance in AOCI related to the interest rate swap agreement was a loss of $3 million, net of tax.

Concentration of Credit Risk

NCR is potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments such as hedging instruments and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. NCR’s business often involves large transactions with customers, and if one or more of those customers were to default on its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, the Company could be exposed to potentially significant losses. However, management believes that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of March 31, 2015, NCR did not have any major concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.

⁽³⁾ Included in Other current liabilities and Other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Deposits Held in Money Market Mutual Funds A portion of the Company’s excess cash is held in money market mutual funds which generate interest income based on prevailing market rates. Money market mutual fund holdings are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

Interest Rate Swap As a result of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are exposed to risk from changes in LIBOR, which may adversely affect our financial condition. To manage our exposure and mitigate the impact of changes in LIBOR on our financial results, we hedge a portion of our forecasted interest payments through the use of an interest rate swap agreement. The interest rate swap is valued using the income approach inclusive of nonperformance and counterparty risk considerations and is classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Foreign Exchange Contracts As a result of our global operating activities, we are exposed to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect our financial condition. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on our financial results, we hedge our primary transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. The foreign exchange contracts are valued using the market approach based on observable market transactions of forward rates and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

From time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). NCR reviews the carrying values of investments when events and circumstances warrant and considers all available evidence in evaluating when declines in fair value are other-than-temporary declines. Other than the impairment charge described in Note 2, "Restructuring Plan," no impairment charges or material non-recurring fair value adjustments were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION AND CONCENTRATIONS

The Company manages and reports its businesses in the following four segments:

•

Financial Services - We offer solutions to enable customers in the financial services industry to reduce costs, generate new revenue streams and enhance customer loyalty. These solutions include a comprehensive line of ATM and payment processing hardware and software; cash management and video banking software and customer-facing digital banking services; and related installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services. We also offer a complete line of printer consumables.

•

Retail Solutions - We offer solutions to customers in the retail industry designed to improve selling productivity and checkout processes as well as increase service levels. These solutions primarily include retail-oriented technologies, such as point of sale terminals and point of sale software; an omni-channel retail software platform with a comprehensive suite of retail software applications; innovative self-service kiosks, such as self-checkout; as well as bar-code scanners. We also offer installation, maintenance, managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.


•	Hospitality - We offer technology solutions to customers in the hospitality industry, serving businesses that range from a single store or restaurant to global chains and sports and entertainment venues. Our solutions include point of sale hardware and software solutions, installation, maintenance, managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.

•

Emerging Industries - We offer maintenance as well as managed and professional services for third-party computer hardware provided to select manufacturers, primarily in the telecommunications industry, who value and leverage our global service capability. Also included in our Emerging Industries segment are solutions designed to enhance the customer experience for the travel industry, such as self-service kiosks, and the small business industry, such as an all-in-one point of sale solution. Additionally, we offer installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services.

These segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance and in allocating the Company's resources. Management evaluates the performance of the segments based on revenue and segment operating income. Assets are not allocated to segments, and thus are not included in the assessment of segment performance, and consequently, we do not disclose total assets by reportable segment.

The accounting policies used to determine the results of the operating segments are the same as those utilized for the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Intersegment sales and transfers are not material.

In recognition of the volatility of the effects of pension expense on our segment results, and to maintain operating focus on business performance, pension expense, as well as other significant, non-recurring items, are excluded from the segment operating results utilized by our chief operating decision maker in evaluating segment performance and are separately delineated to reconcile back to total reported income from operations.

Item 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)

Overview

The following were the significant events for the first quarter of 2015, each of which is discussed more fully in later sections of this MD&A:


•	Results were negatively impacted by higher than expected foreign currency headwinds;


•	Revenue decreased approximately 3% from the prior year period, including unfavorable foreign currency impacts of approximately 6%; and


•	We continued to experience growth in software-related revenue (which we measure by combining software license and maintenance revenue, cloud revenue and professional services revenue associated with software delivery).

We have established a focused and consistent business strategy targeted at revenue growth, gross margin expansion, improved customer loyalty and employee engagement. To execute this strategy, in 2015 we remain focused on three key imperatives or initiatives that align with our financial objectives: deliver disruptive innovation; migrate our revenue to higher margin software and recurring services revenue; and develop a high performing sales force backed by leading services delivery that better leverages the innovation we are bringing to the market.

This strategy, which guided our efforts in the first quarter of 2015, is summarized in more detail below:

•

Gain profitable share - We have been working to shift our business model to focus on growth of higher margin software and services revenue by focusing our research and development efforts, changing and educating our sales force and executing transformative acquisitions in each of our core divisions. At the same time, we are continuing our effort to optimize our investments in demand creation to increase NCR’s market share in areas with the greatest potential for profitable growth, which include opportunities in self-service technologies with our core financial services, retail, and hospitality customers. We focus on expanding our presence in our core industries, while seeking additional growth by:


◦	penetrating market adjacencies in single and multi-channel self-service segments;


◦	expanding and strengthening our geographic presence and sales coverage across customer tiers through use of the indirect channel; and


◦	leveraging NCR Services and consumables solutions to grow our share of customer revenue, improve customer retention, and deliver increased value to our customers.

•

Enhancing the customer experience - We are committed to providing a customer experience to drive loyalty, focusing on product and software solutions based on the needs of our customers, a sales force enabled with the consultative selling model to better leverage the innovative solutions we are bringing to market, and sales and support service teams focused on delivery and customer interactions. We continue to rely on the Customer Loyalty Survey, among other metrics, to measure our current state and set a course for our future state where we aim to continuously improve with solution innovations as well as through the execution of our service delivery programs.

•

Enhance our global service capability - We continue to identify and execute various initiatives to enhance our global service capability. We also have focused on improving our service positioning, increasing customer service attach rates for our products and improving profitability in our services business. Our service capability can provide us with a competitive advantage in winning customers and it provides NCR with an attractive and stable revenue source.

•

Build the lowest cost structure in our industry - We strive to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our core functions and the productivity of our employees through our continuous improvement initiatives. In 2014, we began a comprehensive restructuring plan to reallocate resources to higher-growth, higher-margin opportunities by proactively end-of-lifeing older commodity hardware product lines, moving lower productivity services to new centers of excellence, rationalizing our hardware and software product lines and reducing layers of management and organizing internally around a division model. We have continued to execute this plan in 2015, and expect it to contribute meaningful savings and gains in productivity and efficiency.

•

Expand into emerging growth industry segments - We are focused on broadening the scope of our self-service solutions from our existing customers to expand these solution offerings to customers in newer industry-vertical markets including telecommunications and technology as well as travel and small business. We expect to grow our business in these industries through integrated service offerings in addition to targeted acquisitions and strategic partnerships.

Table of Contents

•

Innovation of our people - We are committed to solution innovation across all customer industries. Our focus on innovation has been enabled by closer collaboration between NCR Services and our divisions, and the movement of our software development resources directly into our core divisions. Innovation is also driven through investments in training and developing our employees by taking advantage of our world-class training centers. We expect that these steps and investments will accelerate the delivery of innovative solutions focused on the needs of our customers and changes in consumer behavior.

•

Pursue strategic acquisitions that promote growth and improve gross margin - We have actively explored, and will continue selectively to explore, potential acquisition opportunities in the ordinary course of business to identify acquisitions that can accelerate the growth of our business and improve our gross margin mix, with a particular focus on software-oriented transactions. We may fund acquisitions through either equity or debt, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.

We plan to continue to manage our costs effectively, including through our restructuring program, and balance our investments in areas that generate high returns. Potentially significant risks to the execution of our initiatives include continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulting in unfavorable foreign currency impacts, the global economic and credit environment and its effect on capital spending by our customers, market conditions and investment trends in the retail industry, competition that can drive further price erosion and potential loss of market share, difficulties associated with introduction of products in new self-service markets, market adoption of our products by customers, management and servicing of our existing indebtedness, and integration of previously completed acquisitions.

Consolidated revenue	$1,476	100%	$1,518	100%	(3)%	3%

Revenue

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, revenue decreased 3% due primarily to declines in our retail solutions operating segment. Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted the revenue comparison by 6%. Our product revenue decreased 5% and our services revenue decreased 1% year-over-year. The decrease in our product revenue was due to declines in the Retail Solutions and Hospitality operating segments in all theaters, declines in the Financial Services operating segment in the Europe and AMEA theaters and declines in the Emerging Industries operating segment in the AMEA theater partially offset by growth in the Financial Services operating segment in the Americas theater. The decrease in our services revenue was attributable to decreases in our professional and installation services and maintenance services. Services revenue decreased in the retail solutions operating segment in all theaters, and decreased in the Financial Services operating segment in the Europe theater, partially offset by growth in the Financial Services operating segment in the Americas and AMEA theaters, growth in the Hospitality operating segment in the Americas theater, and growth in the Emerging Industries segment in the Americas and Europe theaters.

Gross Margin

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 26.4% compared to 27.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Product gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 20.0% compared to 24.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Product gross margin declined primarily due to an unfavorable mix of revenue. Services gross margin in the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 30.8% compared to 29.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Services gross margin increased due to a favorable mix of revenues, including an increase in cloud revenues.

Effects of Pension, Postemployment, and Postretirement Benefit Plans

NCR's income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31 was impacted by certain employee benefit plans as shown below:



In millions	2015	2014
Pension expense (benefit)	$—	$(1)
Postemployment expense	2	5
Postretirement benefit	(4)	(4)
Total expense (benefit)	$(2)	$—

As of December 31, 2014, the U.K. London pension plan was overfunded by approximately $420 million. The plan is expected to fully transfer to an insurer in 2015 or early 2016 resulting in approximately $420 million of pension expense in the period of settlement.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $225 million, or 15.2% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $245 million, or 16.1% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2015 included $16 million of acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, $2 million of acquisition-related costs and $1 million of OFAC and FCPA related legal costs. Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2014 included $14 million of acquisition-related amortization of intangibles, $14 million of acquisition-related costs, and $1 million of OFAC and FCPA related legal costs. Excluding these items, selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were $55 million, or 3.7% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $63 million, or 4.2% as a percentage of revenue, in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease is in line with management expectations due to planned spending reductions as compared to the prior year.

Restructuring-Related Charges

In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded restructuring-related charges of $15 million related to the restructuring program announced in July 2014. The charges consist of other exit costs of approximately $1 million and asset-related charges of approximately $14 million.

Interest and Other Expense Items

Interest expense was $44 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $43 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Other expense, net was $7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Other expense, net in both periods primarily included losses from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments, foreign currency fluctuations, and bank fees.

Provision for Income Taxes

NCR is subject to numerous federal, state and foreign tax audits. While NCR believes that appropriate reserves exist for issues that might arise from these audits, should these audits be settled, the resulting tax effect could impact the tax provision and cash flows in future periods.

Revenue and Operating Income by Segment

The Company manages and reports its businesses in the following four segments:

•


•	Hospitality - We offer technology solutions to customers in the hospitality industry, serving businesses that range from a single store or restaurant to global chains and sports and entertainment venues. Our solutions include point of sale hardware and software solutions, installation, maintenance, managed and professional services and a complete line of printer consumables.

•

Emerging Industries - We offer maintenance as well as managed and professional services for third-party computer hardware provided to select manufacturers, primarily in the telecommunications industry, who value and leverage our global service capability. Also included in the Emerging Industries segment are solutions designed to enhance the customer experience for the travel industry, such as self-service kiosks, and the small business industry, such as an all-in-one point of sale solution. Additionally, we offer installation, maintenance, and managed and professional services.

Each of these segments derives its revenues by selling products and services in the sales theaters in which NCR operates. Segments are measured for profitability by the Company’s chief operating decision maker based on revenue and segment operating income. For purposes of discussing our operating results by segment, we exclude the impact of certain items (described below) from segment operating income, consistent with the manner by which management reviews each segment, evaluates performance, and reports our segment results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (otherwise known as GAAP). This

Table of Contents

format is useful to investors because it allows analysis and comparability of operating trends. It also includes the same information that is used by NCR management to make decisions regarding the segments and to assess our financial performance.

The effect of pension expense and other significant, non-recurring items on segment operating income have been excluded from the operating income for each reporting segment presented below. Our segment results are reconciled to total Company results reported under GAAP in Note 13, “Segment Information and Concentrations” of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the segment discussions below, we have disclosed the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as it relates to our segment revenue due to its significance during the quarter.

Financial Services Segment

The following table presents the Financial Services revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended March 31:



	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Revenue	$798	$794
Operating income	$105	$103
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	13.2%	13.0%

Financial Services revenue increased 1% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was driven by growth in product sales in the Americas theater and growth in services revenue in the Americas and AMEA theaters, partially offset by declines in product sales in the Europe and AMEA theaters and declines in services revenue in the Europe theater. Foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on the revenue comparison of 8%.

Operating income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in operating income was driven by a higher mix of omni-channel solutions.

Retail Solutions Segment

The following table presents the Retail Solutions revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended March 31:



	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Revenue	$445	$490
Operating income	$16	$36
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	3.6%	7.3%

Retail Solutions revenue decreased 9% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was driven by declines in product sales and services revenue in all theaters. Foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on the revenue comparison of 5%.

Operating income decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to lower volume and a less favorable mix of software-related revenue.

Hospitality Segment

The following table presents the Hospitality revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended March 31:



	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Revenue	$148	$149
Operating income	$18	$12
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	12.2%	8.1%

Table of Contents

Hospitality revenue decreased 1% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was driven by declines in product sales in all theaters, partially offset by growth in services revenue in the Americas theater. Foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on the revenue comparison of 2%.

Operating income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to a higher mix of software-related revenue, including cloud revenue.

Emerging Industries Segment

The following table presents the Emerging Industries revenue and segment operating income for the three months ended March 31:



	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Revenue	$85	$85
Operating income	$7	$4
Operating income as a percentage of revenue	8.2%	4.7%

The Emerging Industries segment revenue remained consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Emerging Industries segment results include higher services revenue in the Americas and Europe theaters, offset by declines in product sales in the AMEA theater. Foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact on the revenue comparison of 8%.

Operating income increased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to higher services margins.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities was $79 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $31 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

NCR’s management uses a non-GAAP measure called “free cash flow” to assess the financial performance of the Company. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities and cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations, less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, less additions to capitalized software, plus discretionary pension contributions and settlements. We believe free cash flow information is useful for investors because it relates the operating cash flows from the Company’s continuing and discontinued operations to the capital that is spent to continue and improve business operations. In particular, free cash flow indicates the amount of cash available after capital expenditures for, among other things, investments in the Company’s existing businesses, strategic acquisitions, repurchase of NCR stock and repayment of debt obligations. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures, since there may be other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from the measure. Free cash flow does not have a uniform definition under GAAP, and therefore NCR’s definition may differ from other companies’ definitions of this measure. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities under GAAP. The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to NCR’s non-GAAP measure of free cash flow for the three months ended March 31:



	Three months ended March 31
In millions	2015	2014
Net cash provided by operating activities	$79	$31
Less: Expenditures for property, plant and equipment	(13)	(32)
Less: Additions to capitalized software	(38)	(34)
Net cash used in discontinued operations	(4)	(16)
Free cash flow (used) (non-GAAP)	$24	$(51)

The decrease in expenditures for property, plant and equipment was due to planned spending reductions as compared to the prior year. The change in cash flows from discontinued operations was due to reduced spending related to the Fox River environmental matter.

Table of Contents

Financing activities and certain other investing activities are not included in our calculation of free cash flow. Other investing activities primarily include business acquisitions, divestitures and investments as well as proceeds from the sales of property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Digital Insight for $1.64 billion, net of cash acquired.

Our financing activities primarily include proceeds from employee stock plans, repurchase of NCR common stock and borrowings and repayments of credit facilities and notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, proceeds from employee stock plans were $6 million and $5 million, respectively. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we paid $9 million and $22 million, respectively, of tax withholding payments on behalf of employees for stock based awards that vested.

As of March 31, 2015, our senior secured credit facility consisted of a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.35 billion, and a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $850 million. The revolving credit facility also allows a portion of the availability to be used for outstanding letters of credit, and as of March 31, 2015, there were no outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the term loan facility was $1.31 billion and the outstanding balance on the revolving facility was zero.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had outstanding $700 million in aggregate principal balance of 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2023, $600 million in aggregate principal balance of 5.00% senior unsecured notes due 2022, $500 million in aggregate principal balance of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due 2021 and $400 million in aggregate principal balance of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2021.

In November 2014, we entered into a revolving trade receivables securitization facility, which provides the Company with up to $200 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $71 million outstanding under the facility.

See Note 5, "Debt Obligations," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the senior secured credit facility, the senior unsecured notes and the trade receivables securitization facility.

In 2015, we expect to make contributions of $35 million to the international pension plans, $80 million to the postemployment plan and $4 million to the postretirement plan. For additional information, refer to Note 8, “Employee Benefit Plans,” of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2014, we announced a restructuring plan to strategically reallocate resources so that we can focus on higher-growth, higher-margin opportunities in the software-driven consumer transaction technologies industry. Refer to Note 2, "Restructuring Plan," of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on our restructuring plan. As a result of this plan, we expect to incur a total charge of approximately $200 million to $225 million and total cash payments of $100 million to $115 million through 2015. These estimates include severance, inventory-related, asset-related and other exit charges. In the first quarter of 2015, we incurred a total charge of approximately $16 million and cash payments of $16 million. We expect to achieve annual savings of approximately $105 million in 2016.

In 2015, NCR expects to make approximately $35 million of remediation and other payments related to the Fox River and Kalamazoo environmental matters, net of the payment obligations of its co-obligors; the amount does not include an estimate for payments to be received from insurers or indemnification parties. For additional information, refer to Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $424 million and $458 million, respectively. Under current tax laws and regulations, if cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments held outside the United States are distributed to the United States in the form of dividends or otherwise, we may be subject to additional United States income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and foreign withholding taxes, which could be significant.

As of March 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $462 million and our total debt was $3.62 billion. Our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was approximately $850 million at March 31, 2015 and under our trade receivables securitization facility was $129 million at March 31, 2015. Our ability to generate positive cash flows from operations is dependent on general economic conditions, competitive pressures, and other business and risk factors described in Item 1A of Part I of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item IA of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. If we are unable to

Table of Contents

generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or otherwise comply with the terms of our credit facilities or senior unsecured notes, we may be required to seek additional financing alternatives.

We believe that we have sufficient liquidity based on our current cash position, cash flows from operations and existing financing to meet our required pension, postemployment, and postretirement plan contributions, remediation payments related to the Fox River environmental matter, debt servicing obligations, payments related to the restructuring plan, and our operating requirements for the next twelve months.

Contractual and Other Commercial Commitments

There have been no significant changes in our contractual and other commercial obligations as described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company’s uncertain tax positions are not expected to have a significant impact on liquidity or sources and uses of capital resources. Our product warranties are discussed in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(iii) of the Securities Exchange Act. Pursuant to Section 13(r)(1)(D)(iii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we note that, during the period from January 1, 2015 through March 31, 2015, we maintained a bank account and guarantees at the Commercial Bank of Syria (“CBS”), which was designated as a Specially Designated National pursuant to Executive Order 13382 (“EO 13382”) on August 10, 2011. This bank account and the guarantees at CBS were maintained in the normal course of business prior to the listing of CBS pursuant to EO 13382. We note that the last known account balance as of March 31, 2015 was approximately $4,211. The guarantees did not generate any revenue or profits for the Company. Pursuant to a license granted to the Company by the Office of Foreign Asset Controls (“OFAC”) on January 3, 2013, and subsequent licenses granted on April 29, 2013, July 12, 2013, February 28, 2014, and November 12, 2014, the Company has been winding down its past operations in Syria. In connection with these efforts, the Company has also received licenses from OFAC to close the CBS account and terminate any guarantees. Following the closure of the account and termination of the guarantees, the Company does not intend to engage in any further business activities with CBS.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management has reassessed the critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K and determined that there were no changes to our critical accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Also, there were no significant changes in our estimates associated with those policies.

Item 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. It is our policy to manage our foreign exchange exposure and debt structure in order to manage capital costs, control financial risks and maintain financial flexibility over the long term. In managing market risks, we employ derivatives according to documented policies and procedures, including foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Exchange Risk

Since a substantial portion of our operations and revenue occur outside the United States, and in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, our results can be significantly impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We have exposure to approximately 50 functional currencies and are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to our sales, profits and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Although we use financial instruments to hedge certain foreign currency risks, we are not fully protected against foreign currency fluctuations and our reported results of operations could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage our exposures and mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on the operations of our foreign subsidiaries, we hedge our main transactional exposures through the use of foreign exchange forward and option contracts. These foreign exchange contracts are designated as highly effective cash flow hedges. This is primarily done through the hedging of foreign currency denominated inter-company inventory purchases by the marketing units. All of these transactions are forecasted. We also use derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consisting primarily of forward contracts to hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet exposures. For these derivatives we recognize gains and losses in the same period as the remeasurement losses and gains of the related foreign currency-denominated exposures.

We utilize non-exchange traded financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts, that we purchase exclusively from highly rated financial institutions. We record these contracts on our balance sheet at fair market value based upon market price quotations from the financial institutions. We do not enter into non-exchange traded contracts that require the use of fair value estimation techniques, but if we did, they could have a material impact on our financial results.

For purposes of analyzing potential risk, we use sensitivity analysis to quantify potential impacts that market rate changes may have on the fair values of our hedge portfolio related to firmly committed or forecasted transactions. The sensitivity analysis represents the hypothetical changes in value of the hedge position and does not reflect the related gain or loss on the forecasted underlying transaction. A 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. Dollar against foreign currencies from the prevailing market rates would have resulted in a corresponding increase or decrease of $25 million as of March 31, 2015 in the fair value of the hedge portfolio. The Company expects that any increase or decrease in the fair value of the portfolio would be substantially offset by increases or decreases in the underlying exposures being hedged.

The U.S. Dollar was significantly stronger in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 based on comparable weighted averages for our functional currencies. This had an unfavorable impact of 6% on first quarter 2015 revenue versus first quarter 2014 revenue. This excludes the effects of our hedging activities and, therefore, does not reflect the actual impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our operating income.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk principally in relation to variable-rate debt. We use derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates in connection with our risk management policies. We have entered into an interest rate swap for a portion of the term loans under our senior secured credit facility. The interest rate swap effectively converts the designated portion of the term loans from a variable interest rate to a fixed interest rate instrument. Approximately 73% of our borrowings were effectively on a fixed rate basis as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2015, the net fair value of the interest rate swap was a liability of $6 million.

The potential gain in fair value of the swap from a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would be approximately $5 million as of March 31, 2015. The increase in pre-tax interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in variable interest rates (including the impact of the interest rate swap) would be approximately $3 million.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk on accounts receivable and financial instruments, such as hedging instruments and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk includes the risk of nonperformance by counterparties. The maximum potential loss may exceed the amount recognized on the balance sheet. Exposure to credit risk is managed through credit approvals, credit limits, selecting major international financial institutions (as counterparties to hedging transactions) and monitoring procedures. Our business often involves large transactions with customers for which we do not require collateral. If one or more of those customers were to default in its obligations under applicable contractual arrangements, we could be exposed to potentially significant losses. Moreover, a prolonged downturn in the global economy could have an adverse impact on the ability of our customers to pay their obligations on a timely basis. We believe that the reserves for potential losses are adequate. As of March 31, 2015, we did not have any significant concentration of credit risk related to financial instruments.


Item 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

NCR has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by NCR in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by NCR in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to NCR’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the first quarter of 2015, conducted under their supervision and with the participation of management, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers have concluded that NCR’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to meet such objectives and that NCR’s disclosure controls and procedures adequately alert them on a timely basis to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in NCR’s Exchange Act filings.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information required by this item is included in Note 9, "Commitments and Contingencies," of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this quarterly report and is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 1A.	RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item IA ("Risk Factors") of the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Item 2.	UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In October 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that provided for the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock, with no expiration from the date of authorization. On October 31, 2007 and July 28, 2010, the Board authorized the repurchase of an additional $250 million and $210 million, respectively, under this share repurchase program. In December 2000, the Board approved a systematic share repurchase program, with no expiration from the date of authorization, to be funded by the proceeds from the purchase of shares under the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the exercise of stock options, for the purpose of offsetting the dilutive effects of the employee stock purchase plan and outstanding options. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $179 million and $138 million remained available for further repurchases of the Company’s common stock under the 1999 and 2000 Board of Directors share repurchase programs, respectively.

The Company's ability to repurchase its common stock is restricted under the Company's senior secured credit facility and terms of the indentures for the Company's senior unsecured notes. These agreements include certain prohibitions on share repurchases, including during the occurrence of an event of default. These agreements also establish limits on the amount that the Company is permitted to allocate to share repurchases and other restricted payments. The limitations are calculated using formulas based generally on 50% of the Company’s consolidated net income for the period beginning in the third quarter of 2012 through the end of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, subject to certain other adjustments and deductions, with certain prescribed minimums. These formulas are described in greater detail in the Company’s senior secured credit facility and the indentures for the Company’s senior unsecured notes, each of which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the authorized share repurchase programs. The Company occasionally purchases shares of vested restricted stock at the current market price to cover withholding taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, 310,882 shares were purchased at an average price of $29.39 per share.

EXHIBIT 10.1

FORM OF AWARD AGREEMENT

2015 Performance Based Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement

NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

You have been awarded a number of performance 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 performance 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 2015 Performance 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 potential adjustment set forth in Section 2 and further subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, 100% of the Stock Units will become vested and nonforfeitable forty four (44) months after the Grant Date (the “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) for the period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 (the “Performance Period”), and (ii) you are continuously employed by NCR or, if different, an Affiliate or Subsidiary of NCR (the “Employer”) through and until the Vesting Date. In all cases, the Committee shall certify whether NCR has achieved the predetermined level of Return on Capital, and certain other discretionary performance vesting measures (as outlined in Section 2 below), within ninety (90) days following the end of the Performance Period. The Stock Units are referred to in this Agreement as “Vested” at the time they become vested and non-forfeitable pursuant to this Section or Section 2 or Section 4 below.

2. Performance Vesting. The number of Stock Units awarded to you (the “Target Award Number”) may be adjusted upward or downward depending on whether NCR’s Non-Pension Operating Income after Capital Charge (“NPOICC”) for all or a portion of the Performance Period (“NCR Performance”) is greater or less than the target NPOICC (the “Performance Target”) during each of the two (2) calendar years that make up the Performance Period (respectively, “Year One” and “Year Two”). You may receive up to 150% of the Target Award Number based on NCR Performance. The number of Stock Units that you will receive under this Agreement, after giving effect to such adjustment, is referred to as the “Final Award Number.” The Final Award Number represents the right to receive a number of Stock Units equal to the Final Award Number, subject to the vesting requirements and distribution provisions of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan. Your Final Award Number shall be calculated as described in the following Performance Vesting Scenario chart.

Performance Vesting Scenarios and Determination of Final Award Number



Scenario	Year One NCR Performance	Year Two NCR Performance	Final Award Number
Scenario 1	Greater than Year One Performance Target	Greater than or equal to Year One Performance Target	Target Award Number multiplied by a percentage from 100% to 150%, where 100% applies where Year One NCR Performance equals Performance Target, 150% applies where Year One NCR Performance meets or exceeds Maximum, and all other percentages from 100% to 150% are determined through interpolation of the Year One NCR Performance between Performance Target and Maximum.
Scenario 2	Greater than Year One Performance Target	Less than Year One Performance Target	100% of Target Award Number.
Scenario 3	Equal to or less than Year One Performance Target and greater than Year One Threshold	Not Applicable	Target Award Number multiplied by a percentage from 25% to 100%, where 25% applies where Year One NCR Performance equals Threshold, 100% applies where Year One NCR Performance equals Performance Target, and all other percentages from 25% to 100% are determined through interpolation of the Year One NCR Performance between Threshold and Performance Target.
Scenario 4	Less than Year One Threshold	Not Applicable	0% of Target Award Number.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee reserves the right to reduce the Final Award Number based on the achievement of NPOICC during the Performance Period, and as a result, may reduce the number of Stock Units that will vest based on such other factors as the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion determines to be appropriate and/or advisable.

For purposes of this Agreement, “NPOICC” shall mean (A minus (B times C)). “A” equals “Non-Pension Operating Income” which is income (loss) from operations reported under generally accepted accounting principles, excluding the impact of pension expense (benefit), excluding the impact of non-operational adjustments as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as compared to the foreign currency rates used to establish the Company’s 2015 financial plan. “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 9.0%, which approximates NCR’s weighted average cost of capital for 2014 (measured on a four quarter average). “Return on Capital” shall mean Non-Pension Operating Income divided by Controllable Capital, each as defined in this Section. “Threshold” and “Maximum” shall mean the respective levels of performance outlined on the performance based restricted stock unit information page on the website of the TPA for NCR.

3. Settlement of Stock Units. Except as may be otherwise provided in Section 4 or 5 below, 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 within seventy (70) days after the earlier of (i) your Vesting Date, (ii) your Termination of Employment if such Termination of Employment is due to your death or Disability or pursuant to Section 4(i); provided that such payment shall be made promptly following the Change in Control if Section 4(ii) applies. 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. 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 charts describe the more common events. Except as otherwise provided below, in the event of your Termination of Employment prior to the 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 or Retirement	Prorated Vesting—The pro rata portion of the Stock Units that will become Vested pursuant to this Section 4 will be determined by multiplying the Target Award Number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that you completed as an employee of the Company or an Employer after the Grant Date and before the Vesting Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days from the Grant Date to the date that is forty-four (44) months after the Grant Date (the “Pro-rata Fraction”), minus the Stock Units that had become Vested on or prior to the date of your Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement.
Involuntary Termination (other than for Cause)	Prorated Vesting—A pro rata portion of the Stock Units will become Vested on the Vesting Date upon your Involuntary Termination (other than for Cause). The pro rata portion will be determined by calculating the total number of shares you would have received (as determined under Section 2) as if your NCR employment had not terminated prior to your Vesting Date and multiplying that number by the Pro-rata Fraction.



Termination Event	Treatment of Stock Units
Voluntary Resignation	Forfeited—Unvested Stock Units will be forfeited.
Termination for Cause	Forfeited—Unvested Stock Units will be forfeited.

Change in Control Provisions



Change in Control Event	Treatment of Stock Units
Change in Control occurring prior to the end of Year One	The Target Award Number of Stock Units shall become Vested on the Vesting Date (without regard to performance and with no proration), subject to your continued employment through and until the Vesting Date (and subject to the special vesting rules immediately below).
Change in Control occurring on or after the end of Year One but before the end of the Performance Period	The Stock Units shall become Vested on the Vesting Date (with no proration, and subject to the special vesting rules immediately below) based on NCR Performance for Year One (as if NCR Performance for Year Two is greater that NCR Performance for Year One) as determined under Scenario 1 of Section 2.
Change in Control occurring on or after the end of the Performance Period but prior to Vesting Date	The Stock Units shall Vest on the Vesting Date (with no proration, and subject to the special vesting rules immediately below) as determined under Section 2.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary other than Sections 6, 11, 12 and 25:

(i) where the Stock Units are assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity, if, during the twenty four (24) months following the Change in Control, you incur a Termination of Employment by NCR, the Employer or the continuing entity other than for Cause (as defined in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan, to the extent 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) or, if you are a Participant in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan, an NCR policy or a similar arrangement or individual agreement 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 Stock Units shall become Vested immediately upon your Termination of Employment in the amounts determined as set forth in the chart above; and

(ii) 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, the Stock Units shall become Vested immediately prior to the Change in Control in the amounts determined as set forth in the chart above.

5. 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 there from, and this Agreement shall be interpreted, administered and governed in accordance with such intent.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Nontransferability. At all times before the 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 the Vesting Date (or such other date as Stock Units become payable in accordance with Section 4), if Stock Units are to be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock, NCR will instruct its transfer agent and/or its TPA to record on your account the number of such shares underlying the number of Stock Units, and such shares will be freely transferable.

9. Dividends. Any cash dividends declared before the date the Stock Units become Vested 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 the Stock

Units become Vested 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.

10. 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 10, 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 10(a), 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 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 other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, 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.

11. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. In exchange for the consideration you are receiving pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 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), 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 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 11 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 in which NCR does or did business during your NCR employment, all of which States or territories are deemed to be separately set forth here and the names of which are incorporated by reference;

(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 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 11 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 you performed such services within the two years preceding your termination to the extent a specific geographic territory was assigned to you or, if no territory was assigned to you, then within a 250-mile radius from the primary office or other location where you worked during the last two years of your NCR employment;

(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 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 11 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 recruit, hire, solicit or induce, or attempt to recruit, hire, solicit or induce, any employee of NCR, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, to terminate his or her employment with NCR, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or

(d) directly or by assisting others, solicit or attempt to solicit the business of any NCR customers or actively sought 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 actively sought 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 11 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 Radiant Systems, Retalix Ltd, Digital Insight, or Alaric Ltd employee.

(f) The covenants contained within this Section 11 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, than 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 twelve-month period set forth in this Section 11 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 applicable covenant. 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 11, 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.

(h) Subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 11 do not apply to you if, following the termination of your NCR employment, you continue to reside or work in California.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Competing Organizations” shall be the following as of the Grant Date including the subsidiaries and affiliates of each. 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.

12. Compensation Recovery Policy. By accepting the Stock Units, you acknowledge and agree that to the extent 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 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 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.

13. Dispute Resolution. By accepting this Award, you agree that, where permitted by local law, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement 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. The arbitration shall be pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in New York City for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location in the United States; for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location outside the United States, where permitted by local law the arbitration shall be conducted in the regional headquarters city of your NCR business organization pursuant to the rules of a reputable national or international arbitration organization. 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 13 is held unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect the duty to arbitrate nor any other part of this Section 13.

Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph, you acknowledge that if you breach any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 or Section 16, 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 any of the Section 11 or Section 16 covenants, 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.

14. 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.

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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. No Advice Regarding Grant. NCR is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is NCR making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

19. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. NCR may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to current or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by NCR or the TPA.

20. Severability. 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, it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Agreement, which will be enforced as permitted by law. Provided, however, that to the extent such invalid provision can be rendered valid by modification, you agree that the court or tribunal shall so modify such provision so as to render it valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

21. Amendment. The terms of this Award of Stock Units as evidenced by this Agreement may be amended by the NCR Board of Directors or the Committee or any delegate thereof, but no such amendment shall be made which would materially impair your rights hereunder without your consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

22. Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by NCR of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

23. Provisions Applicable to Participants in Jurisdictions outside the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if you are or become subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, your Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Agreement for your country (the “Appendix”). In addition, your Award shall be subject to the laws and requirements of such jurisdiction outside the United States and the terms and conditions of this Agreement are deemed modified to the extent NCR determines necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Moreover if you relocate to one of the countries included in the Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to you, to the extent NCR determines that the application of such terms is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Finally, the Committee may take any other action, including amending this Agreement, before or after an Award is made, that it deems necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory requirements or exemptions to the extent such amendment is permissible under the Plan with or without your prior written consent.

24. Conflicting Terms. 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 the law governing this Agreement and any claims arising under or relating to it, Section 13 of this Agreement shall prevail.

25. Code of Conduct Certification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Award of Stock Units and your right to receive payment of any Stock Units that become Vested hereunder are subject to and expressly conditioned upon your timely annual certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct, and in the event of your failure to timely provide any such certification as may be required prior to the date that Stock Units would otherwise be paid

under this Agreement, those Stock Units shall be forfeited; provided that no such forfeiture shall occur unless you are provided written notice (which notice may be provided by email) of the impending forfeiture, and you do not provide your certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct within thirty days following such notice.

26. No Right to Continued Employment. The Plan and this Agreement do not constitute a contract of employment or impose on you, the Company or your Employer any obligation to retain you as an employee, to change the status of your employment, or to change the Company’s policies or those of its Subsidiaries’ regarding termination of employment. Employment with the Company and the Employer is at will. You or the Company or your Employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

27. Execution and Validity of Agreement. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and effective upon the Company on the Grant Date. However, the grant contained in this Agreement shall be forfeited by you and this Agreement shall have no force and effect if it is not duly executed by electronic acceptance in a form prescribed by and acceptable to the Company, by the date established by the Company and set forth on the website of the TPA at (www.netbenefits.fidelity.com); on which this Agreement is posted.

APPENDIX B

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

2015 Performance 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 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 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 Common Stock at any particular price and that broker’s fees and similar expenses may be

incurred in any such sale. In any event, when the shares of 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 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 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 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 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).

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.

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 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.

Except as may otherwise be provided in this Section or 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 within thirty (30) days after the date that such Stock Units become Vested in shares of NCR Common Stock (such that one Stock Unit equals one share of NCR 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 NCR Common Stock on the date that immediately precedes the applicable Vesting Date (or such earlier date upon which the Stock Units have become Vested pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement), or a combination thereof (the date of such payment is 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 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.

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(a), 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 Common Stock must be pursuant to an exemption from the requirements under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

10. Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. In exchange for the consideration you are receiving pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 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), 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:

(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, than 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 twelve-month period set forth in this Section 10 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 applicable covenant. 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.

(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.

By accepting this Award, you agree that, where permitted by local law, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement 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. The arbitration shall be pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in New York City for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location in the United States; for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location outside the United States, where permitted by local law the arbitration shall be conducted in the regional headquarters city of your NCR business organization pursuant to the rules of a reputable national or international arbitration organization. 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 your breach of any of the Section 10 or Section 15 covenants, 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 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 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.

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.

19. Severability. 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, it shall be severed and shall not affect any other part of this Agreement, which will be enforced as permitted by law.

20. Amendment. The terms of this Award of Stock Units as evidenced by this Agreement may be amended by the NCR Board of Directors or the Committee or any delegate thereof, but no such amendment shall be made which would materially impair your rights hereunder without your consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

21. Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by NCR of breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach of this Agreement.

22. Provisions Applicable to Participants in Jurisdictions outside the United States. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, if you are or become subject to the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, your Award shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any appendix to this Agreement for your country (the “Appendix”).

23. Conflicting Terms. 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 the law governing this Agreement and any claims arising under or relating to it, Section 11 of this Agreement shall prevail.

24. Code of Conduct Certification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Award of Stock Units and your right to receive payment of any Stock Units that become Vested hereunder are subject to and expressly conditioned upon your timely annual certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct, and in the event of your failure to timely provide any such certification as may be required prior to the date that Stock Units would otherwise be paid under this Agreement, those Stock Units shall be forfeited; provided that no such forfeiture shall occur unless you are provided written notice (which notice may be provided by email) of the impending forfeiture, and you do not provide your certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct within thirty days following such notice.

25. No Right to Continued Employment. The Plan and this Agreement do not constitute a contract of employment or impose on you, the Company or your Employer any obligation to retain you as an employee, to change the status of your employment, or to change the Company’s policies or those of its Subsidiaries’ regarding termination of employment. Employment with the Company and the Employer is at will. You or the Company or your Employer may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

26. Execution and Validity of Agreement. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and effective upon the Company on the Grant Date. However, the grant contained in this Agreement shall be forfeited by you and this Agreement shall have no force and effect if it is not duly executed by electronic acceptance in a form prescribed by and acceptable to the Company, by the date established by the Company and set forth on the website of the TPA at (www.netbenefits.fidelity.com); on which this Agreement is posted.

At all times before the 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 the Vesting Date (or such other date as Stock Units become payable in accordance with Section 2), if Stock Units are to be paid in the form of shares of NCR common stock, NCR will instruct its transfer agent and/or its TPA to record on your account the

EXHIBIT 10.4

FORM OF AWARD AGREEMENT

2015 Stock Option Award Agreement

NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

(Non-Statutory Stock Option)

You have been granted an option (the “Option”) under the NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), to purchase from NCR Corporation (referred to herein as “NCR” or the “Company”) a number of shares of common stock of NCR (“Shares”) at the price per Share (the “Exercise Price”) as described on the stock option information page on the website (www.netbenefits.fidelity.com) of NCR’s third‑party Plan administrator (the “TPA”), subject to the terms and conditions of this 2015 Stock Option Award Agreement (this “Agreement”) and the Plan. The Exercise Price shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option (the “Grant Date”). The Capitalized terms used but not defined herein are defined in the Plan.

1.Grant of Option. Your right to exercise the Option will expire on the tenth (10^th) anniversary (the “Expiration Date”) of the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated due to your Termination of Employment as described below. If the Expiration Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, it will be deemed to occur on the next following business day.

2. Vesting. The Option will become nonforfeitable, and the portion of the Option that has vested may be exercised to receive Shares (“Option Shares”), in equal annual installments (subject to mathematical rounding performed by NCR’s TPA) on each of the first (1^st), second (2^nd), third (3^rd) and fourth (4^th) anniversaries of the Grant Date (each, a “Vesting Date”). This vesting schedule is contingent upon your continuous employment with NCR or, if different, your employer (the “Employer”) as of and until each of the Vesting Dates. In the event of your Termination of Employment prior to the fourth (4^th) anniversary of the Grant Date, except as otherwise provided below, the Option will terminate with respect to the then unvested portions. The Option is referred to in this Agreement as “Vested” to the extent it has become vested pursuant to this Section 2 or Section 3 below.

3. Certain Events Resulting in Accelerated Vesting Date. The Plan provides for what happens in connection with certain events resulting in accelerated vesting of Awards. The following chart describes the more common events. Except as otherwise provided below, in the event of your Termination of Employment prior to the applicable 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 Option
Death, Disability or Retirement	A pro rata portion of the Option will become Vested, determined by (a) multiplying the number of Shares subject to the Option awarded pursuant to 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 between the Grant Date and the Termination of Employment due to death, Disability or Retirement, and the denominator of which is 1,460 (the “Pro‑rata Fraction”) and then (b) subtracting the portion of the Option that Vested prior to your Termination of Employment. The Vested portion of the Option may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the first (1^st) year anniversary of the date of death, Disability or Retirement, or (ii) the Expiration Date.
Termination for Cause	The Option will automatically terminate and the entire unexercised Vested and unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and will not be exercisable as of the date of such Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause.
Termination Other than for Cause	The unvested portion of the Option will terminate and be forfeited in the event of a Termination of Employment for a reason not otherwise described in this chart, and the Vested portion may be exercised until the earlier of (a) the ninetieth (90^th) day after the date of your Termination of Employment, or (b) the Expiration Date.
Change in Control Termination or Good Reason Termination	The Option shall be fully Vested immediately upon your Termination of Employment due to a Change in Control termination or a Good Reason Termination, and the Option may be exercised until the earlier of (i) the first (1^st) anniversary of your Termination of Employment, or (ii) the Expiration Date.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means a disability for which you qualify for benefits from the NCR Long-Term Disability Plan or another long-term disability plan sponsored by NCR or the Employer. “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). “Termination other than for Cause” includes, but is not limited to, involuntary Termination of Employment by NCR or the Employer without Cause (as defined in the Plan) other than 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 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.

Notwithstanding any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary other than Sections 4, 11, 13, and 23, in the event a Change in Control occurs prior to a Vesting Date and the Option award is not assumed, converted or replaced by the continuing entity, the Option shall become fully Vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.

4. Confidentiality. By accepting this Award, except to the extent that 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 to disclose it to others. The Option will be forfeited if you violate the terms and conditions of this Section 4.

5. 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.

6. Exercise of Option. The Option shall be exercisable in accordance with procedures established by the administrator of NCR’s stock option program, including broker‑assisted cashless exercises. In countries where deemed mandatory, upon exercise, the purchase price will be paid by simultaneous sale of the Option Shares exercised, in such a manner that NCR is not subject to taxation upon grant of the option award.

To the extent legally permissible under applicable local laws, rules and regulations, if the Option is Vested and outstanding on the Expiration Date (or such earlier date that the Option would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Agreement), then, the Option shall be automatically exercised on the Expiration Date (or such earlier date that the Option would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Agreement) without further action by you (or your beneficiary or estate), if the Fair Market Value per Option Share exceeds the Exercise Price per Option Share on such date. Any such automatic exercise shall be made in accordance with net exercise procedures established by NCR and the administrator of NCR’s stock option program, whereby NCR will withhold from the Option Shares the number of Option Shares necessary to satisfy the Exercise Price. In no event shall NCR, its employees or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special or consequential damages or any damages whatsoever arising out of or in any related to the automatic exercise feature in this Section. By accepting the Option, you agree to the automatic exercise of the Option pursuant to this Section and the terms hereof.

7. Settlement of Option Upon Exercise. Within a reasonable period after any Vested portion of the Option is exercised, NCR will instruct its transfer agent and/or TPA to credit you or your successor with the number of Option Shares you exercised. Neither you nor your legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of NCR in respect of any Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, unless and until NCR credits you with, or causes a credit to you of, such Option Shares.

8. Withholding. (a) Prior to any relevant tax or tax withholding event (as applicable) and as a condition of your receiving any Option Shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised, 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 exercise of the Option; 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 Option Shares to be issued in respect of the exercise of the Option. 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 exercise of the Option, 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 Option Shares that are issuable upon the exercise of the Option 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 Option Shares with respect to which the Option has been exercised 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 the Option Shares on your behalf pursuant to this Section 8, 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 Option Shares) arising in connection with, or related to, any such sale. You acknowledge that if, at the time any Option Shares are sold to satisfy requirements relating to Tax-Related Items pursuant to this Section 8(a), 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 Option Shares must be pursuant to an exemption from the requirements under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

9. Nontransferability. The Option is not transferable by you other than by beneficiary designation, will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during your lifetime, the Option may be exercised only by you or your guardian or legal representative.

10. 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 the Option 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 portion of the Option 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 portion of the Option not designated by you shall be distributable to your estate. If there is any question as to the legal right of any beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder, the Option Shares in question may be purchased by and distributed to your estate, in which event NCR shall have no further liability to anyone with respect to the Option or such Option 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.

12. Dispute Resolution. By accepting this Award, you agree that, where permitted by local law, any controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement 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. The arbitration shall be pursuant to the then current rules of the American Arbitration Association and shall be held in New York City for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location in the United States; for employees residing or having a primary NCR business location outside the United States, where permitted by local law the arbitration shall be conducted in the regional headquarters city of your NCR business organization pursuant to the rules of a reputable national or international arbitration organization. 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 12 is held unenforceable, it shall be severed and shall not affect the duty to arbitrate nor any other part of this Section 12.

Notwithstanding the preceding subparagraph, you acknowledge that if you breach any of the covenants set forth in Section 11 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 your breach any of the Section 11 or Section 15 covenants 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.

13. Compensation Recovery Policy. By accepting the Option, you acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the Option 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 the Option or repay any or all of the Option Shares 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.

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 Options 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 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 Options 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.

16. Application to Other Compensation. Your participation in the Plan is voluntary. The value of the Option is an extraordinary item of income, is not part of your normal or expected compensation and shall not be considered in 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. The Option 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. NCR is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is NCR making any recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

20. Amendment. The terms of the Option as evidenced by this Agreement may be amended by the NCR Board of Directors or the Committee or any delegate thereof, but no such amendment shall be made which would materially impair your rights hereunder without your consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, including Section 409A of the Code, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

23. Conflicting Terms. 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 the law governing this Agreement and any claims arising under or relating to it, Section 12 of this Agreement shall prevail.

24. Code of Conduct Certification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Option and your right to exercise any portion of the Option that has become Vested hereunder are subject to and expressly conditioned upon your timely annual certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct, and in the event of your failure to timely provide any such certification as may be required prior to the date that the Options would otherwise be vested under this Agreement those Options shall be forfeited; provided that no such forfeiture shall occur unless you are provided written notice (which notice may be provided by email) of the impending forfeiture, and you do not provide your certification to NCR’s Code of Conduct within thirty days following such notice.

PROVISIONS FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

2015 Stock Option Award Agreement
NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan
(Non-Statutory Stock Option)

1. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Option, you acknowledge, understand and agree that:

(a)the Option and any Shares acquired under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(b) the future value of the Shares underlying the Option is unknown, indeterminable, and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(d) if you exercise the Option and acquire Option Shares, the value of such Option Shares may increase or decrease in value, even below the Exercise Price;

(e) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from your Termination of Employment (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which you are otherwise not entitled, you irrevocably agree never to institute any claim against NCR, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Employer, waive your ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and release NCR, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and the Employer from any such claim; if notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, you shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agree to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(f) for purposes of the Option, your employment or service relationship will be considered terminated as of the date you are no longer actively providing services to NCR or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any), and unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or determined by NCR, (i) your right to vest in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., your period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are

employed or the terms of your employment agreement, if any); and (ii) the period (if any) during which you may exercise the Option after such Termination of Employment will commence on the date you cease to provide services and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where you are employed or terms of your employment agreement, if any; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when you are no longer actively providing services for purposes of your Option (including whether you may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence);

(g) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company in its discretion, the Option and the benefits evidenced by this Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Option or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the shares of the Company; and

(h) neither NCR, the Employer nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between your local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Option or of any amounts due to you pursuant to the exercise of the Option or the subsequent sale of any Option Shares acquired upon exercise.

3. Conditions for Issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless there is an available exemption from any registration, qualification or other legal requirement applicable to the Shares, the Company shall not be required to deliver any shares issuable upon exercise of the Options prior to the completion of any registration or qualification of the shares under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law or under rulings or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or of any other governmental regulatory body, or prior to obtaining any approval or other clearance from any local, state, federal or foreign governmental agency, which registration, qualification or approval the Company shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable. You understand that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify the Shares with the SEC or any state or foreign securities commission or to seek approval or clearance from any governmental authority for the issuance or sale of the Shares. The grant of Options is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country, and the Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities in connection with this grant, and the grant of the Options is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.

4. Repatriation and Other Non-U.S. Compliance Requirements. As a condition of the grant of your Options, you agree to repatriate all payments attributable to the Shares and/or cash acquired under the Plan (including, but not limited to, dividends) in accordance with local foreign exchange rules and regulations in your country of residence (and your country of employment, if different). In addition, you also agree to take any and all actions, and consent to any and all actions taken by the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, as may be required to allow the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to comply with local tax, exchange control, insider trading and other laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and your country of employment, if different). Finally, you agree to take any and all actions as may be required to comply with your personal legal and tax obligations under local laws, rules and regulations in your country of residence (and your country of employment, if different) with respect to the Option and the Option Shares subject thereto.

5. Insider Trading Restrictions/Market Abuse Laws. You acknowledge that, depending on your country of residence, you may be subject to insider trading restrictions and/or market abuse laws, which may affect your ability to acquire or sell Shares or rights to such shares (e.g., Options) under the Plan during such times as you are considered to have “inside information” regarding the Company (as defined by the laws in your country). Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable insider trading policy of the Company. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, and you are advised to speak to your personal advisor on this matter.

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

2015 Stock Option Award Agreement
NCR Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan
(Non-Statutory Stock Option)

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 Options are exercised or Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.

CHINA

Exercise of Option. This provision supplements Section 6 of the Agreement:

Due to regulatory requirements in the People’s Republic of China (“China”), the Exercise Price may only be paid through a broker-assisted cashless exercise pursuant to which you provide irrevocable instructions to NCR’s designated broker to effect the immediate sale of all of the exercised Option Shares and remit to NCR, out of the sale, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the exercised Option Shares. The remaining sale proceeds, less the amount of any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to you in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations. You will not be permitted to hold Shares after exercise. NCR reserves the right to allow additional methods of exercise depending on the development of local law.

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 Option Shares 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 Option Shares 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 exercise, the Shares 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 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).

Personal & Confidential

Mr. William R. Nuti

Chairman of the Board,

Chief Executive Officer and President

NCR Corporation

Dear Bill,

In recognition and consideration of your leadership transforming NCR Corporation (the “Company”) into a software and solutions leader of consumer transaction technologies, the Compensation & Human Resource Committee of the Company (the “Committee”) agrees to provide you the following group health plan coverage effective upon your separation from service with the Company at any time, and for any reason effective upon your acceptance of terms and conditions outlined in this letter agreement.

NCR Retiree Health Plan Coverage (Pre-age 65)

Through the date of your 65^th birthday, the Company will offer group health plan coverage (including medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage) under the NCR Health Care Plan for Active Employees (or successor plan or program; hereinafter the “Active Medical Plan”) to you, your spouse and any eligible dependents on the same basis and under the same terms, including cost, as such coverage is provided to active Company employees and their spouses and eligible dependents from time to time.

In order to maintain such coverage, you will be required to pay the same premiums at the same rates as an active Company employee who has elected the same coverage that you elect under the Active Medical Plan. The difference between the value of such coverage for any calendar year (based on the COBRA rate, less the 2% COBRA administrative charge) and the amount of premiums you pay for such coverage for such year will be reported to you as ordinary income for tax purposes. You will be responsible for all applicable deductibles, co-pays and other out-of-pocket costs payable by active Company employees who elect the same coverage you elect under the Active Medical Plan as well as the tax cost associated with the imputed income reported to you annually related to this benefit.

NCR Retiree Reimbursement Account (Post-age 65)

Following your 65^th birthday, the Company will offer participation in the NCR Corporation Retirement Reimbursement Account portion of the NCR Health Care Plan for Retired Employees (or successor plan or program; hereinafter the “RRA”) to you and your spouse, on the same basis and under the same terms, as such participation is provided to eligible Company retirees and their spouses from time to time. The total Company contribution to the RRA on behalf of you and your spouse for any calendar year will be reported to you as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Coordination of Benefits

In the event that another agreement between you and the Company or any Company benefit plan or program (such as the NCR Change of Control Severance Plan) provides you and your spouse and eligible dependents with greater benefits than those provided in this letter (as determined by you in your sole discretion), then

Mr. William R. Nuti

March 11, 2015

Page 2

the Company shall provide such greater benefits to you and your spouse and eligible dependents for as long as they remain greater, and immediately thereafter the Company shall again provide you and your spouse and eligible dependents with the benefits described in this letter.

Retiree Medical Benefits Exclusive for NCR Corporation

In the event you become eligible after the date of this letter for coverage under the group health plan of another employer that provides comprehensive medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage as a result of your employment with such employer (whether or not you actually elect such coverage), you will no longer be eligible to participate in any of the health plans or related accounts described in this letter (unless you are eligible for such participation, independent of this letter, under the terms of another Company agreement or benefit plan or program), and this letter agreement automatically shall terminate and be of no further effect.

Retiree Medical Benefits Binding upon NCR Corporation, Successors or Assignees

This letter agreement shall be binding upon the Company and any successors and assigns of the Company, including any corporation with which, or into which, the Company may be merged or which may succeed to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or business at any time. In the event that the Company sells or transfers all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Company, the Company shall cause such assignee, transferee, or successor to assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this letter agreement. Neither the Company nor any successor, assignee or transferee of the Company referred to in this paragraph shall have the right to amend or terminate this letter agreement without your advance written consent.

Bill, once again, on behalf of NCR Corporation and the NCR Board of Directors, we thank you again for your many years of outstanding leadership and exceptional service to the Company.

Sincerely,

/s/ Linda Fayne Levinson
