(b) Teradata and its Subsidiaries hereby assume and agree faithfully to perform and fulfill all the Teradata Liabilities, other than the Delayed Transfer Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms, in each case effective as of no later than the Effective Time. As of and after the Effective Time, Teradata and its Subsidiaries shall be responsible for all Teradata Liabilities, regardless of when or where such Liabilities arose or arise, or whether or not scheduled, or whether the facts on which they are based occurred prior to or subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of where or against whom such Liabilities are asserted or determined (including any Teradata Liabilities arising out of claims made by NCR’s or Teradata’s respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates against any member of the NCR Group or the Teradata Group) or whether asserted or determined prior to, at or after the date hereof, and regardless of whether arising from or alleged to arise from negligence, recklessness, violation of statute or law, fraud or misrepresentation, breach of contract or other theory, by any member of the NCR Group or the Teradata Group or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Delayed Transfer Assets will be assigned, transferred, conveyed and delivered, and the Delayed Transfer Liabilities will be assumed, in accordance with the terms of the agreements that provide for such assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery, or such assumption, after the date of this Agreement or as otherwise set forth on Schedule 2.1(c). Following such assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of any Delayed Transfer Asset, or the assumption of any Delayed Transfer Liability, the applicable Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as a Teradata Asset or a Teradata Liability, as the case may be.

(d) In the event that at any time or from time to time (whether prior to or after the Distribution Date), any party hereto (or any member of such party’s respective Group), shall receive or otherwise possess any Asset that is allocated to any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such party shall promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset to the Person so entitled thereto. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such Asset shall hold such Asset in trust for the benefit of any such other Person.

(vi) an amount of cash equal to $200 million as contemplated by the pro forma balance sheet included in the Information Statement.

In the event of a conflict among any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the question of whether or not an Asset is a Teradata Asset shall be resolved, to the extent any of the following are applicable, by giving precedence to the following items in the following order: the Teradata Balance Sheet and any related statements or notes or any pro forma balance sheet or notes included in the Information Statement, the Schedules hereto or to any Ancillary Agreement, the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement and finally whether the Asset is used primarily in or primarily relate to, arise out of or result from the Teradata Business.

(c) Each of NCR and Teradata agrees on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries that the provisions of the Tax Sharing Agreement shall exclusively govern the allocation of Assets that are Taxes.

(d) (i) Any cash or cash equivalents (as defined below on this Schedule) which otherwise would be Teradata Assets to the extent the possession or ownership thereof by Teradata as of the Effective Time would result in the cash and cash equivalents held by Teradata as of the Effective Time being in excess of $200 million shall be an Excluded Asset.

(ii) The parties agree that in order to implement the foregoing provision, prior to the Effective Time, NCR and Teradata shall jointly estimate the amount of cash and cash equivalents likely to held by Teradata and the other members of the Teradata Group as of the Effective Time absent adjustment pursuant to this provision (the “ Cash Estimate ”). To the extent the Cash Estimate is less than $200 million, NCR shall transfer the shortfall to Teradata or one of its Subsidiaries as a contribution to capital. To the extent the Cash Estimate is more than $200 million, Teradata shall transfer by dividend the excess to NCR or one of its Subsidiaries.

(iii) For purposes of this Schedule the term “cash or cash equivalents” shall have the meanings contemplated by GAAP applied in a manner consistent with GAAP as used in the preparation of the Teradata Balance Sheet. For purposes of clarification, accounts receivable and other current assets other than cash and cash equivalents shall not be deemed to be included for purposes of calculating the payments required by this Schedule.

(iv) Within 15 days after the Effective Time, an officer of Teradata shall deliver a certificate to NCR certifying the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents of the Teradata Group as of the Effective Time (the “Final Amount”). Such certificate shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation. To the extent the Final Amount is less than $200 million, NCR shall pay Teradata an amount equal to the shortfall no later than October 31, 2007. To the extent the Final Amount is greater than $200 million, Teradata shall pay an amount equal to the excess to NCR no later than October 31, 2007. In the event of a dispute of the Final Amount by NCR, NCR shall give notice thereof no later than October 31, 2007. The parities shall cooperate in an effort to resolve any such dispute. If they are unable to resolve any such dispute, either party may submit the matter for resolution to Deloitte & Touche (or if Deloitte & Touche is not willing or able to serve, to any other nationally recognized independent accounting firm). The decision of such firm shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall thereafter represent the Final Amount for purposes hereof. The fees and expenses of the firm shall be borne by the party whose estimate of the cash and cash equivalents of the Teradata Group as of September 30, 2007 is farthest in absolute value from the amount determined by the firm as the Final Amount. The provisions of Article VIII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall not apply to the calculation of Final Amount.

(v) All payments shall be accompanied by interest at the Applicable Rate (as defined below) accruing from September 30, 2007 through the date of payment. For purposes hereof, the term “Applicable Rate” shall mean the Prime Rate from September 30, 2007 through and including October 31, 2007 and the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum thereafter. These provisions regarding accrual of interest shall apply without limitation in the event of a dispute.

 

13

 


(vi) Each of the parties shall cooperate, including by providing access to information, in connection with the matters contemplated by this Schedule. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that the adjustments contemplated by this Schedule shall be made after giving effect to the settlement of any intercompany accounts between the members of the different Groups and after the settlement of any true-ups with respect to any of the foreign country asset purchase agreements. As a result, in the event that any such settlements or adjustments are not completed for administrative or other reasons as of prior to the Effective Time, the parties shall deem them to have been completed as of such time for purposes of calculating the amount payable pursuant to this Schedule.

In addition, the Person retaining such Asset shall take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Asset is to be transferred in order to place such Person, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset had been transferred as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Teradata Assets (or such Non-Teradata Assets, as the case may be), including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Assets, are to inure from and after the Effective Time to the Teradata Group (or the NCR Group, as the case may be).
