Mr. Michael Bayer

Dear Michael,

Following is a summary of the additional elements of the offer for you to join NCR Corporation that are being provided in addition to the standard terms and conditions of employment that you will receive as an employee of NCR GmbH.

Management Incentive Plan (MIP) Participation
You will participate in NCR's Management Incentive Plan (MIP) subject to the terms of the plan. The MIP is an annual bonus program with a payout that varies based on the actual results achieved by NCR, the Retail organization, and your individual performance; and is paid in the first calendar quarter following the plan year.

Your initial MIP target incentive opportunity will be 90% of your annual base salary (with a maximum potential payout equal to 300% of you target incentive opportunity), where the payout will be based on NCR's achievement of our annual "Core Financial Measures" and certain MBOs that I will establish for you each plan year. You are also eligible for the Customer Success component of the MIP representing a target incentive opportunity equal to 10% of your annual base salary (with a maximum potential payout equal to 10% of your annual base salary which operates as a "make or miss" opportunity), where the payout will be linked to the NCR's overall achievement of our annual Customer Loyalty goals.

The MIP eligibility requirements and guidelines are subject to change from time to time determined at the discretion of the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the NCR Board of Directors (hereinafter the "Committee").

Your MIP payout for the 2014 plan year will be no less than EUR 175,000 (before taxes and other deductions), and will be payable to you in March 2015. You must be employed by NCR, its subsidiaries or affiliates, at the time of payment in order to be eligible to receive any bonus or incentive payout from NCR.

Economic Profit Plan (EPP) Participation
NCR's Economic Profit Plan ("EPP") provides the opportunity to participate in a portion of the "Economic Profit" created by NCR annually through a banking concept, where 33% of your Economic Profit Bank earned becomes payable in cash in August of the following year, so long as you remain employed by NCR at the time of payment. The EPP is designed to strengthen the link between the management team and sustainable creation of stockholder value.

Your participation in EPP will commence in 2015 where the Committee will assign you a carried interest participation rate for NCR's Economic Profit for the 2015 performance year (but in no case will it be less than 0.125% of Economic Profit). Your participation in EPP is subject to approval by the Committee, which is typically approved in the first quarter of the calendar year. Any payments under the NCR EPP are governed by the plan document and are subject to the Committee's discretion.
