CDK GLOBAL, INC. 2014 OMNIBUS AWARD PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

CDK GLOBAL, INC. (the “Company”), pursuant to the 2014 Omnibus Award Plan (the “Plan”), hereby irrevocably grants to [NAME] (the “Participant”), on [DATE] (the “Grant Date”), a Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Award”) of forfeitable restricted stock units of the Company (“RSUs”), each RSU representing the right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), or the cash value thereof, in each case, subject to: (i) the restrictions, terms and conditions herein; and (ii) any special terms and conditions applicable to the Participant, as set forth in the appendices attached hereto (the “Appendices”).

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to grant the award provided for herein to the Participant, on the terms and conditions described in this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (including the Appendices, this “Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, for themselves, and their permitted successors and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

Terms and Conditions.

(a)

Award. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement and as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Participant [NUMBER OF UNITS GRANTED] RSUs.

(b)

Vesting. Subject to the other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Restricted Period with respect to the Award shall lapse on [DATE(S)], subject to the continued employment of the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary thereof through [each] such vesting date.

(c)

Change in Control. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Restricted Period with respect to the Award shall lapse immediately prior to the consummation of a Change in Control if the Participant is continuously employed by the Company until such time, unless, upon the Change in Control, the Award is continued, substituted or assumed (in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan) in a manner such that the securities underlying the Award following the Change in Control are traded on a “liquid market” (i.e., the Nasdaq Global Market, the New York Stock Exchange or a comparable international market in which the Participant is able to readily and without administrative complexity sell shares underlying the Award, as reasonably determined by the Board).

(d)

Settlement. As soon as practicable after the date on which the Restricted Period lapses with respect to any RSUs, and in no event later than 30 days after such date, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her personal representative, a like number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company, or in the Company’s discretion, an amount in cash equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of a like number of shares of Common Stock on the date of settlement, in each case subject to applicable withholding. If the Participant is a resident of or employed in a country other than the United States or the United Kingdom at the time of settlement, such RSUs shall be settled in cash equal to the aggregate Fair Market Value of a like number of shares of Common Stock on the date of settlement, subject to applicable withholding.

Forfeiture of Award.

(a)

Termination of Employment Generally. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) in its sole discretion or as explicitly set forth herein, the unvested Award (including any Dividend Equivalents) shall be forfeited without consideration to the Participant effective upon the date of the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or an Affiliate for any reason at any time prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period (and the Participant shall forfeit any rights to receive shares of Common Stock or cash in respect of the Award).

Unless the Company provides otherwise in writing to the Participant, the Participant’s employment will be considered terminated as of the date the Participant ceases to actively provide services to the Company or any Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not the termination is later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed). Any right to vest in the Award will terminate as of the date described in the previous sentence and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Participant’s period of service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under applicable law).

(b)

Termination of Employment after First Anniversary of Grant Date Due to Retirement. In the event that, after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated due to “retirement” (defined for purposes of this Agreement as a termination of employment on or after attaining (i) age 65 or (ii) age 55 with 10 credited years of service with the Company or any Affiliate), the Participant shall be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the next scheduled vesting installment of the Award as follows: the number of RSUs equal to: (a) a fraction of the RSUs granted hereunder (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of months completed from the Grant Date through the Participant’s last day of active employment; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of months from the Grant Date through the final scheduled vesting date; minus (b) the number of RSUs for which the Restricted Period had lapsed prior to termination of employment. Any Shares represented by the Award that vest under this Section 2(b) shall settle in accordance with the original schedule set forth in Section 1(d) of this Agreement (as if such termination of employment did not occur). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date for any reason other than death or Disability, the Award and any rights to receive shares of Common Stock, cash and Dividend Equivalents with respect thereto, will be forfeited without consideration.

(c)

Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability. In the event that, after the Grant Date, the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated due to death or Disability (as defined in the Plan) the Restricted Period for any unvested portion of the Award shall lapse immediately. Any Shares represented by the Award that vest under this Section 2(c) shall settle in accordance with the original schedule set forth in Section 1(d) of this Agreement (as if such termination of employment did not occur).

Incorporation by Reference. The provisions of the Plan are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and any capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the definitions set forth in the Plan.

Compliance with Legal Requirements. The granting and delivery of the Award, and any other obligations of the Company under this Agreement, shall be subject to all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required by applicable law, rules or regulations.

If the Participant is a resident of or employed in a country that is a member of the European Union, the grant of the Award and this Agreement are intended to comply with the applicable age discrimination provisions of the EU Equal Treatment Framework Directive, as may be implemented into local law (the “Age Discrimination Rules”). To the extent that a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of the Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, under the Age Discrimination Rules, the Company and the Participant agree that the Company, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to revise or strike such provision to the minimum extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted under local law.

Transferability. The Award may not be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate.

Dividend Equivalents. For Participants whose home country is the United States or the United Kingdom, each RSU granted hereunder shall entitle the Participant to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by the Company of dividends on shares of Common Stock) in cash as of the date of payment (“Dividend Equivalents”), which accumulated Dividend Equivalents (without interest) shall be payable at the same time as the underlying RSUs are settled following the release of restrictions on such RSUs, and if such RSUs are forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to such Dividend Equivalent payments.

No Rights as a Stockholder. The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, including voting rights, with respect to any shares of Common Stock corresponding to the RSUs granted hereby unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to the Participant in respect thereof.

Restrictive Covenants; Mutual Arbitration; Clawback.

(a)

Restrictive Covenants; Mutual Arbitration. For Participants whose home country is the United States, the effectiveness of the Award granted hereunder is conditioned upon the Participant’s agreement to: (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Restrictive Covenant Agreement furnished herewith and which includes, among other provisions, certain non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disclosure covenants; and (iii) the Company’s Mutual Arbitration Agreement without opting out of same. If such Participant does not agree (whether electronically or otherwise) to this Agreement, the Restrictive Covenant Agreement, and the Mutual Arbitration Agreement within ninety (90) days from the date of the Award, the Award shall be terminable by the Company. For such Participants, continued effectiveness of the Award granted hereunder is further conditioned upon the continued effectiveness of the Mutual Arbitration Agreement between such Participant and the Company through the date of settlement.

(b)

Clawback/Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Award may be forfeited without consideration if the Participant, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion (i) engages in an activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of the Company or any Affiliate, including but not limited to fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, or (ii) without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company or any Affiliate or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate. If the Participant engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, the Participant shall, at the sole discretion of the Committee, forfeit any gain realized in respect of the RSUs (which gain shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the Fair Market Value, on the applicable date of distribution, of the gross number of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Participant, if any, plus the gross amount of any cash paid to the Participant, upon settlement of the RSUs, if any), and repay such gain to the Company. The Award, and all incentive based compensation payable pursuant to the Award, shall be subject to (i) the Company’s compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy, as may be in effect from time to time and (ii) any compensation recovery, “clawback” or similar policy made applicable by law including the provisions of Section 945 of the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules, regulations and requirements adopted thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any national securities exchange on which the Company’s equity securities may be listed.

No waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other breach or a waiver of the continuation of the same breach.

(d)

Data Privacy.

(i)

The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participant’s personal data as described in this Agreement and any other grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Company or any Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan.

The Participant understands that the Company and any Affiliate may hold certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, residency, status, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company or any Affiliate, details of the Award or any other entitlement to stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (collectively “Data”), for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan.

(iii)

The Participant understands that Data will be transferred to the Company, its Affiliates, advisors, or one or more stock plan service providers as may be selected by the Company from time to time, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.

Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, the Participant’s engagement as an employee and career with the Company will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant the Participant any Award or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

No change, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, except for any changes permitted without consent of the Participant under the Plan.

The Participant authorizes the Company, Fidelity Stock Plan Services, and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (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 his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she 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 his or her local human resources representative. Further, the Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, his or her employment status or service with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing the Participant’s consent is that the Company would not be able to grant Awards or other equity awards to the Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, the Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of the Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

APPENDIX C – SUPPLEMENTS FOR CANADA, FRANCE & THE UNITED KINGDOM

CDK GLOBAL, INC. 2014 OMNIBUS AWARD PLAN
PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix C shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement, or in the Plan, as applicable.

Terms and Conditions

This Appendix C includes special terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to the Participant if he or she works and/or resides in one of the countries listed herein. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in this Appendix C, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. These terms and conditions are in addition to or, if so indicated, in replacement of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to what extent the special terms and conditions included herein will apply to the Participant.

Notifications

This Appendix C also includes information of which the Participant should be aware with respect to the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The information is based on the laws in effect in the countries listed below as of the Grant Date. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the information contained in this Appendix C may be out of date at the time the RSUs vest.

In addition, this supplement is general in nature and does not discuss all of the various laws, rules and regulations that may apply. It may not apply to the Participant’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure the Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, the Participant is strongly advised to seek appropriate professional advice if he or she has any questions about his or her specific situation.

If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which the Participant is currently residing and/or working, is considered a resident of another country for local law purposes or transfers employment and/or residency between countries after the Grant Date, the information contained herein may not be applicable in the same manner.

Terms and Conditions

This provision replaces Section 2(a) of the Agreement:

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion or as set forth in Section 1(b) or Section 1(c), unvested RSUs shall be forfeited without consideration to the Participant upon the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or its Affiliates for any reason. For purposes of the RSUs, the Participant’s termination date shall occur (regardless of the reason for such termination, and whether or not found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed, or the terms of the Participant’s employment agreement, if any), except as otherwise required by applicable legislation, effective as of the date that is the earlier of: (i) the termination of the Participant’s employment relationship; (ii) the date the Participant receives written notice of termination; or (iii) the date the Participant is no longer actively employed regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice mandated under applicable laws (including, but not limited to statutory law, regulatory law and/or common law).

The following provisions will apply if the Participant is a resident of Quebec:

Data Privacy.

This provision supplements the applicable provisions of Appendix B:

The Participant hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan.

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information.

If the Participant is a Canadian resident, the Participant is required to report his or her foreign specified property on Form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the Participant’s specified foreign property exceeds CAD100,000 at any time in the year. Foreign specified property includes payments received under the Plan and may include rights to receive such payment (e.g., the RSUs). Thus, RSUs must be reported – generally at a nil cost – if the CAD100,000 cost threshold is exceeded because other foreign specified property is held by the Participant. The Form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. The Participant should consult his or her personal tax advisor to ensure compliance with applicable reporting obligations.

Securities Disclaimer. Neither the Agreement nor any Appendix is an approved prospectus for the purposes of section 85(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) and no offer of transferable securities to the public (for the purposes of section 102B of FSMA) is being made in connection with the Plan. The Plan and the Award is exclusively available in the UK to bona fide employees and former employees.

Tax Reporting and Payment Liability. The Participant agrees that the Company or an Affiliate may calculate the Tax-Related Items to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right the Participant may have to recover any overpayment from relevant U.K. tax authorities. If payment or withholding of any income tax liability arising in connection with the Participant’s participation in the Plan is not made by the Participant to the Company within ninety (90) days of the event giving rise to such income tax liability or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), the Participant understands and agrees that the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute a loan owed by the Participant to the Company, effective on the Due Date. The Participant understands and agrees that the loan will bear interest at the then-current official rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (“HMRC”), it will be immediately due and repayable by the Participant, and the Company and/or an Affiliate may recover it at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in the Plan and/or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Participant understands and agrees that if he or she is a director or an executive officer of the Company, he or she will not be eligible for such a loan to cover the income tax liability. In the event that the Participant is a director or executive officer and the income tax is not collected from or paid by the Participant by the Due Date, the Participant understands that the amount of any uncollected income tax will constitute an additional benefit to the Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance Contributions will be payable. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will be responsible for reporting and paying any income tax due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing the Company or any Affiliate (as appropriate) for the value of any primary and (to the extent legally possible) secondary class 1 national insurance contributions due on this additional benefit which the Company or any Affiliate may recover from the Participant by any of the means referred to in the Plan and/or this Agreement.

Joint Election. Tax-Related Items shall include Primary and to the extent legally possible Secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions.

As a necessary condition of participation in the Plan, the Participant agrees to accept any liability for all secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may be payable by the Company and/or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant in connection with the Award and any event giving rise to Tax-Related Items (the “Employer’s NICs”). Without limitation to the foregoing, the Participant agrees to enter into a joint election with the Company (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the transfer of the entirety of Employer’s NICs to the employee. The Participant further agrees to execute such other joint elections as may be required between the Participant and any successor to the Company and/or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant. The Participant further agrees that the Company and/or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant may collect the Employer’s NICs from him or her by any of the means set forth herein.

C-5

If the Participant does not enter into a Joint Election, if approval of the Joint Election has been withdrawn by HMRC or if such Joint Election is jointly revoked by the Participant and the Company or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant, as applicable, the Company, in its sole discretion and without any liability to the Company or any Affiliate employing or retaining the Participant, may choose not to issue or deliver any amounts due to the Participant upon vesting of the Award.

Termination of Employment - Retirement. Section 2(b) (Termination of Employment after First Anniversary of the Grant Date Due to Retirement) of the Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“In the event that, after the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Participant’s employment with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated due to “retirement” (defined for the purposes of this Agreement as a termination of employment with the Company or any Affiliate due to retirement at any age with the approval and evidenced to the satisfaction of the Committee or its designee), the Participant shall be entitled to receive a prorated portion of the next scheduled vesting installment of the Award as follows: the number of RSUs equal to: (a) a fraction of the RSUs granted hereunder (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of months completed from the Grant Date through the Participant’s last day of active employment; and (2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of months from the Grant Date through the final scheduled vesting date; minus (b) the number of RSUs for which the Restricted Period had lapsed prior to termination of employment. Any Shares represented by the Award that vest under this Section 2(b) shall settle in accordance with the original schedule set forth in Section 1(d) of this Agreement (as if such termination of employment did not occur). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participant’s employment is terminated prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date for any reason other than death or Disability, the Award and any rights to receive shares of Common Stock, cash and Dividend Equivalents with respect thereto, will be forfeited without consideration.”

Award Not a Service Contract. The following supplements Section 9 of the Award Agreement: Compensation and damages for loss of rights.

(f)

The Participant waives all rights to compensation or damages in consequence of the termination of the Participant’s office or employment with the Company or any Affiliate for any reason whatsoever (whether lawful or unlawful and including, without prejudice to the foregoing, in circumstances giving rise to a claim for wrongful dismissal) in so far as those rights arise or may arise from the Participant ceasing to hold or being able to vest in his or her Award, or from the loss on diminution in value of any rights or entitlements in connection with the Plan.
