Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Orwell Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of NCR Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“NCR”), pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, dated November 2, 2018, (the “Offer to Purchase”), the above-described shares of common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Shares”), shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”) and/or shares of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series A-2 Preferred Shares” and together with the Series A Preferred Shares and Series A-1 Preferred Shares, the “Preferred Shares,” which, together with the Common Shares, constitute the “Shares”), of JetPay Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“JetPay”), pursuant to the offer to purchase all outstanding Shares for cash, as follows:

1. the offer price for the Common Shares and the Common Shares underlying each Series A Preferred Share upon conversion is $5.05 per Common Share, paid to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any required withholding of taxes; and

2. the offer price for each Series A-1 Preferred Share and Series A-2 Preferred Share is $600 per each such Series A-1 and Series A-2 Preferred Share,

in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and this Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). Receipt of the Offer is hereby acknowledged.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms of any such extension or amendment), and effective upon acceptance for payment of the Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the terms of the Offer, the undersigned hereby sells, assigns and transfers to or upon the order of Merger Sub all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares that are being tendered hereby, distributions, rights, other Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect thereof on or after November 2, 2018 (collectively, “Distributions”) and irrevocably constitutes and appoints Equiniti Trust Company (the “Depositary Agent”) the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to such Shares (and all Distributions), with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to (i) deliver certificates for such Shares (and any and all Distributions) or transfer ownership of such Shares (and any and all Distributions) on the account books maintained by the Book-Entry Transfer Facility, together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of Merger Sub, (ii) present such Shares (and any and all Distributions) for transfer on the books of JetPay, and (iii) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Shares (and any and all Distributions), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

By executing this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby irrevocably appoints Andre Fernandez, and any other designee of Merger Sub, the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to vote at any annual or special meeting of JetPay’s stockholders or any adjournment or postponement thereof or otherwise in such manner as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his or her substitute shall in his or her sole discretion deem proper with respect to, to execute any written consent concerning any matter as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his or her substitute shall in his or her sole discretion deem proper with respect to, and to otherwise act as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his or her substitute shall in his or her sole discretion deem proper with respect to, all of the Shares (and any and all Distributions) tendered hereby and accepted for payment by Merger Sub. This appointment will be effective if and when, and only to the extent that, Merger Sub accepts such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. This power of attorney and proxy are irrevocable and are granted in consideration of the acceptance for payment of such Shares in accordance with the terms of the Offer. Such acceptance for payment shall, without further action, revoke any prior powers of attorney and proxies granted by the undersigned at any time with respect to such Shares (and any and all


Distributions), and no subsequent powers of attorney, proxies, consents or revocations may be given by the undersigned with respect thereto (and, if given, will not be deemed effective).

Merger Sub reserves the right to require that, in order for the Shares or other securities to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of such Shares, Merger Sub and its designee must be able to exercise full voting, consent and other rights with respect to such Shares (and any and all Distributions), including voting at any meeting of stockholders.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares tendered hereby and all Distributions and that, when the same are accepted for payment by Merger Sub, Merger Sub will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto and to all Distributions, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and the same will not be subject to any adverse claims. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary Agent or Merger Sub to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered hereby and all Distributions. In addition, the undersigned shall remit and transfer promptly to the Depositary Agent for the account of Merger Sub all Distributions in respect of the Shares tendered hereby, accompanied by appropriate documentation of transfer, and, pending such remittance and transfer or appropriate assurance thereof, shall be entitled to all rights and privileges as owner of each such Distribution and may withhold the entire purchase price of the Shares tendered hereby or deduct from such purchase price, the amount or value of such Distribution as determined by Merger Sub in its sole discretion.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, trustees in bankruptcy, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer, this tender is irrevocable.

The undersigned understands that the valid tender of the Shares pursuant to any one of the procedures described in “Procedures for Tendering Shares” in the Offer to Purchase and in the Instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and Merger Sub upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (and if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any such extension or amendment). Without limiting the foregoing, if the price to be paid in the Offer is amended in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 19, 2018, by and among NCR, Merger Sub and JetPay, the price to be paid to the undersigned will be the amended price notwithstanding the fact that a different price is stated in this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Merger Sub may not be required to accept for payment any of the Shares tendered hereby.

4. Partial Tenders. If fewer than all of the Shares evidenced by any certificate and/or held in book-entry form are to be tendered, fill in the number of Shares that are to be tendered in the column entitled “Number of Shares Tendered” in the box entitled “Description of Shares Tendered” above.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

If any of the Shares tendered hereby are held of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If any of the tendered Shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations.

If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates or stock powers are signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to Merger Sub of the authority of such person so to act must be submitted.

Signatures on any such Share Certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

6. Special Payment. If a check is to be issued in the name of a person other than the signer of this Letter of Transmittal the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal must be completed.

7. Substitute Form W-9. A tendering stockholder is required to provide the Depositary Agent with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) on Substitute Form W-9. The purpose for this form is explained below under “Important Tax Information.” The stockholder must, under penalties of perjury, certify that such number is correct and that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding of federal income tax or, alternatively, to establish another basis for exemption from backup withholding. If a tendering stockholder is subject to backup withholding, the stockholder must mark the “Notification of Backup Withholding” box. Failure to provide the information requested on the Substitute Form W-9 may subject the tendering stockholder to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and to federal income tax backup withholding at the applicable federal withholding rate of any payments made to the stockholder or other payee.

Certain stockholders (including, for example, corporations, financial institutions, tax-exempt entities and IRA plans) are not subject to backup withholding. A foreign (“nonresident alien”) stockholder should submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, a copy of which may be obtained from the Depositary Agent, in order to avoid backup withholding. See the enclosed “Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9” for more instructions. We cannot accept a facsimile, photocopy or scanned image of a Form W-8BEN.

8. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Questions and requests for assistance or additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, IRS Form W-8 and the Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9 may be directed to Innisfree M&A Incorporated at the addresses and phone numbers set forth below, or from brokers, dealers, commercial banks or trust companies.

9. Waiver of Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive, at any time or from time to time, any of the specified conditions of the Offer (subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement), in whole or in part, in the case of any Shares tendered.


10. Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Certificates. If any certificate representing Shares has been lost, destroyed or stolen, the stockholder should promptly notify JetPay’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, in its capacity as transfer agent for the Shares. The stockholder will then be instructed as to the steps that must be taken in order to replace the certificate. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed.

11. Withdrawal of Shares Tendered. Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Offer Expiration Time by sending written notice of revocation to the Depositary Agent at the address on the front of this Letter of Transmittal. Fax copies are not acceptable. After an effective withdrawal you may resubmit to the Depositary Agent a completed replacement of this document and any other documents required by the Offer for properly tendering Shares prior to the Offer Expiration Time.

Important: This Letter of Transmittal together with any required signature guarantees, and any other required documents, must be received by the Depositary Agent prior to the Offer Expiration Time and certificates for tendered Shares must be received by the Depositary Agent prior to the Offer Expiration Time, or the tendering stockholder must comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under the federal income tax law, unless an exemption applies, a stockholder whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is required to provide the Depositary Agent with such stockholder’s correct TIN on the Substitute Form W-9. If such stockholder is an individual, the TIN is such stockholder’s Social Security Number If the Depositary Agent is not provided with the correct TIN, the stockholder may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, payments that are made to such stockholder may be subject to backup withholding based on the applicable tax rate of the reportable amount.

Certain stockholders (for example, corporations) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a non-U.S. person to claim nonresident alien (or foreign) tax status and qualify for an exemption from backup withholding, such individual must submit an appropriate and properly completed IRS Form W-8, attesting to that individual’s foreign status. Normally, a foreign individual or corporation will provide a Form W-8BEN. Intermediary entities will provide a Form W-8IMY for the entity and a Form W-8BEN or Form W-9 for each beneficial owner along with a withholding statement. Such a Form W-8 may be obtained from the Depositary Agent. Exempt U.S. stockholders, other than foreign individuals (i.e., corporations, etc.) should furnish their TIN, check the “Exempt payee” line and sign, date and return the Substitute Form W-9 to the Depositary Agent.

If backup withholding applies, the Depositary Agent is required to withhold a percentage of any reportable payments made to the stockholder at the Withholding Rate. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service when completing a tax return for that applicable year, based on the withholding amount reported on the Form 1099.

Purpose of Substitute Form W-9

To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a stockholder with respect to Shares exchanged pursuant to the Offer, the stockholder is required to notify the Depositary Agent of such stockholder’s correct TIN (or the TIN of another payee) by completing the Substitute Form W-9 enclosed certifying that the TIN provided is correct.

Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase, this Letter of Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the IRS Form W-8 and other tender offer materials may also be directed to the Information Agent.
