Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Elections of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
    
On September 13, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Johnson Controls International plc (the “Company”) approved the amendment and restatement of the Johnson Controls International plc Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated effective September 2, 2016) (the “Prior DCP”) to reflect that no new participants, and no new deferrals of compensation will be permitted under the plan effective as of January 1, 2018. The Prior DCP as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2018 is referred to herein as the Amended and Restated DCP.
The Committee also approved the amendment and restatement of the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “TSSRP”) to reflect that no new participants shall be permitted in the TSSRP as of January 1, 2018 and that no new deferrals of compensation or discretionary credits will be credited to participants’ accounts under the plan as of January 1, 2018. The TSSRP as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2018 is referred to herein as the Amended and Restated TSSRP.
In addition, the Committee also approved the amendment and restatement of the Johnson Controls International plc Retirement Restoration Plan effective September 2, 2016 (the “RPP”) to limit the contributions of compensation deferrals in excess of amounts permitted under the Company’s 401(k) and related Company match to certain high-level employees who participated in the RPP prior to the effective time of the merger of Johnson Controls, Inc. and a wholly owned subsidiary of Tyco International plc on September 2, 2016, as well as officers of the Company immediately following the merger. The RRP as amended and restated effective as of January 1, 2018 is referred to herein as the Amended and Restated RRP.
Distributions from the Amended and Restated RPP will be made upon termination of employment, either in a lump sum or annual installments for up to ten years.
In connection with the above plan changes, on September 13, 2017, the Committee adopted the Johnson Controls International plc Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Executive DCP”) effective January 1, 2018. The Executive DCP allows eligible participants to defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 95% of their qualifying bonus and, for participants with a deferral election in effect under the Prior DCP, certain equity awards. Employee deferrals are deemed 100% vested upon contribution. The Company will not provide any matching or discretionary contributions to the Executive DCP on any participant's behalf.
Distributions from the Executive DCP will be made upon termination of employment, either in a lump sum or annual installments for up to ten years.
Participants in the Executive DCP will be entitled to select from the investments available under the Company’s 401(k) Plan and will be allocated gains or losses based upon the performance of the investments selected by the Participant. All gains or losses are allocated fully to plan participants and the Company does not guarantee a rate of return on deferred balances. Participants have no rights or claims with respect to any plan assets and any such assets are subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors.
The foregoing is only a general summary of certain aspects of the Amended and Restated DCP, the Amended and Restated TSSRP, the Amended and Restated RPP and the Executive DCP, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the respective plans attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively.

Exhibit 10.1

ARTICLE 1.
PURPOSE AND DURATION

Section 1.1.    Purpose . The Johnson Controls International plc Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (formerly the Johnson Controls, Inc.

Section 1.2.    Effective Date and September 2, 2016 Restatement . The Plan was originally effective on October 1, 2001, as a consolidation of the deferral features of various separate plans. The Plan has been amended several times since it was originally effective, including being amended and restated effective as of September 2, 2016 (the “Amended and Restated Effective Date”) to reflect the merger of Johnson Controls, Inc. with and into a subsidiary of Tyco International plc.

Section 1.3    January 1, 2018 Restatement to Freeze Plan . Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, effective January 1, 2018, the Plan will cease to accept new Participants and will not permit new deferrals of compensation, provided, however, that Deferrals relating to Deferrable Compensation awarded or issued prior to January 1, 2018, and with respect to which a deferral election was made prior to January 1, 2018, may still be credited to Participants’ Accounts.

If the period of the leave exceeds the time periods set forth above and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided by either statute or contract, the Participant will be considered to have incurred a Separation from Service on the first day following the time periods set forth above.
  
(2)
A Participant will be presumed to have incurred a Separation from Service when the level of bona fide services performed by the Participant for the Company and its Affiliates permanently decreases to a level equal to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of services performed by the Participant for the Company or its Affiliates during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of service).

(3)
The Participant will be presumed not to have incurred a Separation from Service while the Participant continues to provide bona fide services to the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity (whether as an employee or independent contractor) at a level that is at least fifty percent (50%) or more of the average level of services performed by the Participant for the Company or its Affiliates during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of service).

Wherever any words are used in the masculine, they shall be construed as though they were used in the feminine in all cases where they would so apply; and wherever any words are use in the singular or the plural, they shall be construed as though they were used in the plural or the singular, as the case may be, in all cases where they would so apply. Titles of articles and sections are for general information only, and the Plan is not to be construed by reference to such items.

Section 2.3.    Severability . In the event any provision of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

DEFERRALS OF COMPENSATION

Section 4.1.    Deferral Elections . Prior to January 1, 2018, a Participant may elect to defer all or part of his Deferrable Compensation pursuant to one or more of the following provisions, as applicable to such compensation, subject to any limitations or other requirements imposed by the Committee (with respect to Participants who are Company officers) or the Administrator (with respect to all other Participants). A Participant’s election to defer an award shall be effective only for the award to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from award to award. As of the end of the applicable election period, the Participant’s deferral election shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 4.2.


5



(a)     Calendar Year . A Participant may make a deferral election during the calendar year preceding the calendar year for which an award is made.

(b)     Forfeitable Rights . With respect to a cash or equity award which is subject to a risk of forfeiture, a Participant may make a deferral election prior to or within the first thirty (30) days following the grant date; provided, the election may apply only to the portion of the award that vests on or after the first anniversary of the award grant date. This election shall be available even if the terms of the award provide that the award will vest prior to the first anniversary of the award grant date in the event of the Participant’s death, disability (as defined in Code Section 409A) or a change of control event (as defined in Code Section 409A); provided that, if the award so vests prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, then if and to the extent required by Code Section 409A, such deferral election shall be cancelled.
 
(c)     Initial Eligibility . A Participant may make a deferral election within the first thirty (30) days of becoming a Participant; provided such Participant has not previously been eligible for participation in any other deferred compensation plan that is required to be aggregated with this Plan for purposes of Code Section 409A. Such election shall only be effective with respect to compensation for services to be performed subsequent to the date of the election.

(d)     Performance-Based Compensation . With respect to a performance-based award (whether cash or equity), a Participant may make a deferral election within the first 180 days of the performance period for which the award is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(1)
if the Company determines that an award qualifies as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Company may specify a later election period, which in all events must end 180 days prior to the end of the performance period for such award; provided that any election made hereunder shall not be applicable to compensation that is readily ascertainable at the time of the election, or

(2)
if the Company determines that an award does not qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or determines that, at the time of the election described above, the compensation payable under such award will be readily ascertainable, then the Company may specify an earlier election period consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

(e)     Other Deferrals Rules . A Participant may make a deferral election at such other times not described above as may be permitted by the Administrator consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

(f)     No Deferrals After 2017 . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no deferral elections may be made with respect to Deferrable Compensation issued or awarded after December 31, 2017.

Section 4.2. Cancellation of Deferral Elections . If the Administrator determines that a Participant’s deferral elections must be cancelled in order for the Participant to receive a hardship distribution under the Johnson Controls Savings and Investment (401k) Plan (or any successor plan thereto), or any other 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, then the Participant’s deferral election(s) shall be cancelled if permitted under Code Section 409A. A Participant whose deferral election(s) are cancelled

6



pursuant to this Section 4.2 may make a new deferral election under Section 4.1, and pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 409A, with respect to future incentive awards, unless otherwise prohibited by the Administrator.

Section 4.3    Administration of Deferral Elections . All deferral elections must be made in the form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator prescribes in order to be effective.

ARTICLE 5.
HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT OPTIONS

Section 5.1. Investment Election .

(a)     Investment Elections . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall reflect the investment experience of the Investment Options selected by the Participant. The Participant may make an initial investment election at the time of enrollment in the Plan in whole increments of one percent (1%). A Participant may also elect to reallocate his or her Account, and may elect to allocate any future Deferrals, among the various Investment Options in whole increments of one percent (1%) from time to time as prescribed by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Share Deferrals or Other Incentive Compensation measured in relation to a Share shall be automatically invested in the Share Unit Account and may be re-allocated out of such Investment Option only after the Share Deferrals or Other Incentive Compensation are either vested or earned, subject to any additional restrictions on re-allocation as may be imposed by the Company. Such investment elections shall remain in effect until changed by the Participant. All investment elections shall become effective as soon as practicable after receipt of such election by the Administrator, and must be made in the form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator prescribes in order to be effective. In the absence of an effective election, the Participant’s Account (to the extent the Plan does not require Deferrals to be allocated to the Share Unit Account) shall be deemed invested in the default fund specified for the Johnson Controls Inc. Savings and Investment (401k) Plan (or any successor plan thereto).

(b)     Crediting of Investment Return . On each Valuation Date, the Administrator (or its designee) shall credit the deemed investment experience with respect to the selected (or required) Investment Options to each Participant’s Account. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company retains the right to allocate actual amounts hereunder without regard to a Participant’s request.

Section 5.2.    Allocations to Investment Options . All Deferrals will be deemed invested in an Investment Option as of the date on which the deferrals would have otherwise been paid to the Participant.

Section 5.3.    Securities Law Restrictions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all elections under Article 5 or 6 by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are subject to review by the Administrator prior to implementation. In accordance with Section 9.3, the Administrator may restrict additional transactions, rescind transactions, or impose other rules and procedures, to the extent deemed desirable by the Administrator in order to comply with the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, application of the review and approval provisions of this Section 5.3 to Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Section 5.4.    Accounts are For Record Keeping Purposes Only . Plan Accounts and the record keeping procedures described herein serve solely as a device for determining the amount of benefits

7



accumulated by a Participant under the Plan, and shall not constitute or imply an obligation on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to fund such benefits.

ARTICLE 6.
DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS

Section 6.1.    Form of Distribution . A Participant, at the time he makes an initial deferral election under the Plan pursuant to any provision of Article 4, shall elect the form of distribution with respect to each of the following sub-accounts:

(a)    Annual Incentive Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.

(b)    Long-Term Incentive Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.

(c)    Share Deferrals, as adjusted for gains or losses thereon, that are held in the Participant’s Share Unit Account as of that date.

(d)    Other Incentive Compensation Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.

Such election shall be made in such form and manner as the Administrator may prescribe, and shall be irrevocable. The election shall specify whether distributions shall be made in a single lump sum or from two (2) to ten (10) annual installments. In the absence of a distribution election with respect to a particular subaccount, payment shall be made in ten (10) annual installments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant receives a single lump sum payment of the entire balance in a particular subaccount, and an amount would otherwise be credited to such subaccount thereafter (such as upon the date the Deferrable Compensation becomes vested or earned after the Participant’s Separation from Service), then such amount shall not be allocated to such subaccount but instead be paid directly by the Company or Affiliate that is obligated to make such payment as soon as practicable after the Deferrable Compensation vests or is earned.
Section 6.2.    Time of Distribution . Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason, the Participant, or his Beneficiary in the event of his death, shall be entitled to payment of the amount accumulated in such Participant’s Account in cash.

Section 6.3.    Manner of Distribution . The Participant’s Account shall be paid in cash in the following manner:

(a)     Lump Sum . If payment is to be made in a lump sum,

(1)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from January 1 through June 30 of a year, payment shall be made in the first calendar quarter of the following year, and

(2)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from July 1 through December 31 of a year, payment shall be made in the third calendar quarter of the following year.


8



The lump sum payment shall equal the balance of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the distribution date.
(b)     Installments . If payment is to be made in annual installments, the first annual payment shall be made:
(1)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from January 1 through June 30 of a year, in the first calendar quarter of the following year, and

(2)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs during the period from July 1 through December 31 of a year, in the third calendar quarter of the following year.

The amount of the first annual payment shall equal the value of 1/10 th (or 1/9 th , 1/8 th , 1/7 th , etc. depending on the number of installments elected) of the balance of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the distribution date. All subsequent annual payments shall be made in the first calendar quarter of each subsequent calendar year, and shall be in an amount equal to the value of 1/9 th (or 1/8 th , 1/7 th , 1/6 th , etc. depending on the number of installments elected) of the balance of the Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the distribution date. The final annual installment payment shall equal the then remaining balance of such Account as of the Valuation Date preceding such final payment date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if the balance of a Participant’s Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding a distribution date is $50,000 or less when combined with the Johnson Controls Senior Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, then the entire remaining balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum on such distribution date.
Section 6.4.    Distribution of Remaining Account Following Participant’s Death,

(a)    In the event of the Participant’s death prior to receiving all payments due under this Article 6, the balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum in the first calendar quarter or the third calendar quarter, whichever first occurs after the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of such lump sum death benefit, a Participant who has an installment payment election in effect may, prior to his or her termination of employment, elect to have any remaining installment payments continue to his or her Beneficiary in the event the Participant dies after beginning to receive such installment payments, provided that such election shall be given effect only if filed at least twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Participant’s death.

(b)    The timing of the payment(s) under Section 6.4(a) is dependent upon the Administrator receiving all information needed to authorize such payment (such as a copy of the Participant’s death certificate). To the extent the Administrator cannot make a payment because it has not received such information, then the Administrator shall make such payment(s) to the Beneficiary as soon as practicable in accordance with Section 6.4(a) after it has received all information necessary to make such payment, provided that such payment(s) due from the date of death through December 31 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death must be completed by such December 31 in order to avoid additional taxes under Code Section 409A.

Section 6.5.    Tax Withholding . The Company or any Affiliate that makes a payment hereunder shall have the right to deduct from any deferral or payment made hereunder, or from any other

amount due a Participant, the amount of cash and/or Fair Market Value of Shares sufficient to satisfy the Company’s or Affiliate’s foreign, federal, state or local income tax withholding obligations with respect to such deferral (or vesting thereof) or payment. In addition, if prior to the date of distribution of any amount hereunder, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, becomes due, then the Company may distribute from the Participant’s Account balance the amount needed to pay the Participant’s portion of such tax, plus an amount equal to the withholding taxes due under federal, state or local law resulting from the payment of such FICA tax, and an additional amount to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding of the Code Section 3401 wages and taxes, but no greater than the aggregate of the FICA tax amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax amount.

Section 6.6.    Offset . The Company or any Affiliate shall have the right to offset from any amount payable hereunder any amount that the Participant owes to the Company or to any Affiliate without the consent of the Participant (or his Beneficiary, in the event of the Participant’s death).

Section 6.7.    Additional Payment Provisions .

(a)     Acceleration of Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(1)
If an amount deferred under this Plan is required to be included in a Participant’s income under Code Section 409A prior to the date such amount is actually distributed, such Participant shall receive a distribution, in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, of the amount required to be included in the Participant’s income as a result of such failure.

(2)
If an amount under the Plan is required to be immediately distributed in a lump sum under a domestic relations order within the meaning of Code Section 414(p)(1)(B), it may be distributed according to the terms of such order, provided the Participant holds the Administrator harmless with respect to such distribution. The Plan shall not distribute amounts required to be distributed under a domestic relations order other than in the limited circumstance specifically stated herein.

(b)     Delay in Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(1)
If a distribution required under the terms of this Plan would jeopardize the ability of the Company or an Affiliate to continue as a going concern, the Company or the Affiliate shall not be required to make such distribution. Rather, the distribution shall be delayed until the first date that making the distribution does not jeopardize the ability of the Company or of an Affiliate to continue as a going concern. Any distribution delayed under this provision shall be treated as made on the date specified under the terms of this Plan.

(2)
If the distribution will violate the terms of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or other Federal securities laws, or any other applicable law, then the distribution shall be delayed until the earliest date on which making the distribution will not violate such law.

ARTICLE 7.
RULES WITH RESPECT TO SHARE UNITS

Section 7.1.    Valuation of Share Unit Account . When any amounts are to be allocated to a Share Unit Account (whether in the form of Deferrals or amounts that are deemed re-allocated from another Investment Option), such amount shall be converted to whole and fractional Share Units, with fractional units calculated to three decimal places, by dividing the amount to be allocated by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of such allocation. If any dividends or other distributions are paid on Shares while a Participant has Share Units credited to his Account, such Participant shall be credited with additional Share Units equal to (a) the amount of the cash dividend paid or Fair Market Value of other property distributed on one Share, multiplied by the number of Share Units credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account on the date the dividend is declared, and then divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend is paid or distributed. Any other provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a dividend is paid on Shares in the form of a right or rights to purchase shares of the Company or any entity acquiring the Company, then no additional Share Units shall be credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account with respect to such dividend, but each Share Unit credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account at the time such dividend is paid, and each Share Unit thereafter credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account at a time when such rights are attached to Shares, shall thereafter be valued as of any point in time on the basis of the aggregate of the then Fair Market Value of one Share plus the then Fair Market Value of such right or rights then attached to one Share.

Section 7.2.    Transactions Affecting Shares . In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share dividend, share split or other change in corporate structure of the Company affecting Shares, the Committee may make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Share Units credited to the Share Unit Account of each Participant, including without limitation, adjusting the date as of which such units are valued and/or distributed, as the Committee determines is necessary or desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided under the Plan.

Section 7.3.    No Shareholder Rights With Respect to Share Units . Participants shall have no rights as a shareholder pertaining to Share Units credited to their Accounts.

ARTICLE 8.
SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE IN THE EVENT OF A
CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

Section 8.1.    Acceleration of Payments . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, each Participant (or any Beneficiary thereof entitled to receive payments hereunder), including Participants (or Beneficiaries) receiving installment payments under the Plan, shall receive a lump sum payment in cash of all amounts accumulated in such Participant’s Account with respect to deferrals made pursuant to elections filed prior to the Amended and Restated Effective Dateas soon as practicable (but not more than ninety (90) days) following the Change of Control; provided, however, that if a Change of Control occurs on or after January 1, 2017, then the payment shall not be made prior to the date that is five (5) years after the occurrence of events that would have constituted a Change of Control as it was defined in this Plan prior to January 1, 2016. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company reasonably anticipates that any such lump sum payment would reduce or eliminate the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s deduction for compensation to a Participant because of the compensation limit imposed under Code Section 162(m), then the Company may elect to delay payment of such amount in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.

11



In determining the amount accumulated in a Participant’s Share Unit Account, each Share Unit shall have a value equal to the higher of (a) the highest reported sales price, regular way, of a share of the Company on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange Listed Stocks (the “Composite Tape”) during the sixty (60)-day period prior to the date of the Change of Control of the Company and (b) if the Change of Control of the Company is the result of a transaction or series of transactions described in Section 8.2(a) (or the corresponding provision in the prior definition of a Change of Control, as described in Section 8.4, below), then the highest price per Share of the Company paid in such transaction or series of transactions.
Section 8.2.    Definition of a Change of Control . Subject to Section 8.4, a Change of Control means any of the following events, provided that each such event would constitute a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A:

(a)    The acquisition by any Person of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of thirty-five percent (35%) or more of either (A) the then-outstanding Shares (the “Outstanding Company Shares”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however , that the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company, (2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Affiliated Company or (4) any acquisition by any corporation pursuant to a transaction that complies with Section 8.2(c)(1)-(3);

(b)    Any time at which individuals who, as of the Amended and Restated Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however , that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(c)    Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Shares and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the then-outstanding ordinary or common shares and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Shares and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (2) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or an Affiliated Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, thirty-five percent (35%) or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding ordinary or common shares of the corporation

12



resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (3) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board providing for such Business Combination; or

(d)    Approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Section 8.3.    Maximum Payment Limitation .

(a)     Limit on Payments . Except as provided in subsection (b) below, if any portion of the payments or benefits described in this Plan or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company or an Affiliate (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment”, then the Total Payments to be made to the Participant shall be reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Participant is entitled to receive shall be one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount which the Participant may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which the Company or an Affiliate may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code. The terms “excess parachute payment” and “parachute payment” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code, and such “parachute payments” shall be valued as provided therein. Present value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Within forty (40) days following delivery of notice by the Company to the Participant of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Participant which will result in an excess parachute payment, the Participant and the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall obtain the opinion (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Company’s or an Affiliate’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Participant in his sole discretion (which may be regular outside counsel to the Company or an Affiliate), which opinion sets forth (1) the amount of the Base Period Income, (2) the amount and present value of Total Payments and (3) the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments determined without regard to the limitations of this Section. As used in this Section, the term “Base Period Income” means an amount equal to the Participant’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” as defined in Section 280G(d)(1) of the Code. For purposes of such opinion, the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s or an Affiliate’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code, which determination shall be evidenced in a certificate of such auditors addressed to the Company and the Participant. Such opinion shall be addressed to the Company and the Participant and shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant. If such opinion determines that there would be an excess parachute payment, the payments hereunder that are includible in Total Payments or any other payment or benefit determined by such counsel to be includible in Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated as specified by the Participant in writing delivered to the Company within thirty (30) days of his receipt of such opinion or, if the Participant fails to so notify the Company, then as the Company shall reasonably determine, so that under the bases of calculations set forth in such opinion there will be no excess parachute payment. If such legal counsel so requests in connection with the opinion required by this Section, the Participant and the Company shall obtain, at the Company’s expense, and the legal counsel may rely on in providing the opinion, the advice of a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by the Participant. If the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code are repealed without succession, then this Section shall be of no further force or effect.


13



(b)     Employment Contract Governs . The provisions of subsection (a) above shall not apply to a Participant whose employment is governed by an employment contract that provides for Total Payments in excess of the limitation described in subsection (a) above.

Section 8.4.    Prior Definition of a Change of Control . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.2, until January 1, 2017, a Change of Control shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan as in effect immediately prior to January 1, 2016.

ARTICLE 9.
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1.    Administration .

(a)     General . The Committee shall have overall discretionary authority with respect to administration of the Plan; provided that the Administrator shall have discretionary authority and responsibility for the general operation and daily administration of the Plan and to decide claims and appeals as specified herein. If at any time the Committee shall not be in existence or not be composed of members of the Board who qualify as “non-employee directors”, then all determinations affecting Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be made by the full Board, and all determinations affecting other Participants shall be made by the Board or an officer of the Company or other committee appointed by the Board (with the assistance of the Administrator). The Committee or Administrator may, in its discretion, delegate any or all of its authority and responsibility; provided that the Committee shall not delegate authority and responsibility with respect to non-ministerial functions that relate to the participation by Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time any such delegated authority or responsibility is exercised. To the extent of any such delegation, any references herein to the Committee or Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed references to such delegatee. Interpretation of the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee or the Administrator with respect to their respective duties hereunder. If any delegatee of the Committee or the Administrator shall also be a Participant or Beneficiary, any determinations affecting the delegatee’s participation in the Plan shall be made by the Committee or Administrator, as applicable.

(b)     Authority and Responsibility . In addition to the authority specifically provided herein, the Committee and Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to take any action or make any determination deemed necessary for the proper administration of the Plan with regard to the respective duties of each under the Plan, including but not limited to: (1) prescribe rules and regulations for the administration of the Plan; (2) prescribe forms for use with respect to the Plan; (3) interpret and apply all of the Plan’s provisions, reconcile inconsistencies or supply omissions in the Plan’s terms; (4) make appropriate determinations, including factual determinations, and calculations; and (5) prepare all reports required by law. Any action taken by the Committee shall be controlling over any contrary action of the Administrator. The Committee and the Administrator may delegate their ministerial duties to third parties and to the extent such delegation, references to the Committee or Administrator herein shall mean such delegates, if any.

(c)     Decisions Binding . The Committee’s and Administrator’s determinations shall be final and binding on all parties with an interest hereunder, unless determined to be arbitrary and capricious.

(d)     Procedures of the Committee . The Committee’s determinations must be made by not less than a majority of its members present at the meeting (in person or otherwise) at which a quorum is present, or by written consent, which sets forth the action, is signed by each member of the Committee and filed with the minutes for proceedings of the Committee. A majority of the entire Committee shall constitute

14



a quorum for the transaction of business. The Administrator’s determinations shall be made in accordance with such procedures it establishes.

(e)     Indemnification . Service on the Committee or as an Administrator shall constitute service as a director or officer of the Company so that the Committee and Administrator members shall be entitled to indemnification, limitation of liability and reimbursement of expenses with respect to their Committee or Administrator services to the same extent that they are entitled under the Company’s charter documents and applicable law for their services as directors or officers of the Company.

Section 9.2.    Designation of Beneficiary . Each Participant may designate a Beneficiary in such form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator may prescribe. A Participant can change his beneficiary designation at any time, provided that each beneficiary designation shall revoke the most recent designation, and the last designation received by the Administrator while the Participant was alive shall be given effect. If a Participant designates a Beneficiary without providing in the designation that the Beneficiary must be living at the time of distribution, the designation shall vest in the Beneficiary the distribution payable after the Participant’s death, and such distribution if not paid by the Beneficiary’s death shall be made to the Beneficiary’s estate. In the event there is no valid beneficiary designation in effect at the time of the Participant’s death, in the event the Participant’s designated Beneficiary does not survive the Participant, or in the event that the beneficiary designation provides that the Beneficiary must be living at the time of distribution and such designated Beneficiary does not survive to the distribution date, the Participant’s estate will be deemed the Beneficiary and will be entitled to receive payment. If a Participant designates his spouse as a beneficiary, such beneficiary designation automatically shall become null and void on the date the Administrator receives notice of the Participant’s divorce or legal separation.

Section 9.3.    Restrictions to Comply with Applicable Law . All transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Committee and Administrator shall administer the Plan so that transactions under the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and shall have the right to restrict or rescind any transaction, or impose other rules and requirements, to the extent it deems necessary or desirable for such exemption or compliance to be met.

Section 9.4.    Claims Procedures .

(a)     Initial Claim . If a Participant or Beneficiary (the “claimant”) believes that he is entitled to a benefit under the Plan that is not provided, the claimant or his legal representative shall file a written claim for such benefit with the Administrator within ninety (90) days of the date the payment that is in dispute should have been made. The Administrator shall review the claim and render a decision within ninety (90) days following the receipt of the claim; provided that the Administrator may determine that an additional ninety (90)-day extension is necessary due to circumstances beyond the Administrator’s control, in which event the Administrator shall notify the claimant prior to the end of the initial period that an extension is needed, the reason therefor, and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision. If the claimant’s claim is denied in whole or part, the Administrator shall provide written notice to the claimant of such denial. The written notice shall include: the specific reason(s) for the denial; reference to specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of which such material or information is necessary; and a description of the Plan’s review procedures (as set forth in subsection (b)) and the time limits applicable to such procedures, including a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse determination upon review.

15



(b)     Request for Appeal . The claimant has the right to appeal the Administrator’s decision by filing a written appeal to the Administrator within sixty (60) days after the claimant’s receipt of the Administrator’s decision, although to avoid penalties under Code Section 409A, the claimant’s appeal must be filed within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date payment could have been timely made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 409A. The claimant will have the opportunity, upon request and free of charge, to have reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s appeal. The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to his claim with the appeal. The Administrator will review all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, regardless of whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial claim determination. The Administrator shall make a determination on the appeal within sixty (60) days after receiving the claimant’s written appeal; provided that the Administrator may determine that an additional sixty (60)-day extension is necessary due to circumstances beyond the Administrator’s control, in which event the Administrator shall notify the claimant prior to the end of the initial period that an extension is needed, the reason therefor and the date by which the Administrator expects to render a decision. If the claimant’s appeal is denied in whole or part, the Administrator shall provide written notice to the claimant of such denial. The written notice shall include: the specific reason(s) for the denial; reference to specific Plan provisions upon which the denial is based; a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim; and a statement of the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA. If the claimant does not receive a written decision within the time period(s) described above, the appeal shall be deemed denied on the last day of such period(s).

(c)     ERISA Fiduciary . For purposes of ERISA, the Committee shall be considered the named fiduciary under the Plan and the plan administrator, except with respect to claims and appeals, for which the Administrator shall be considered the named fiduciary.

Section 9.5.    Participant Rights Unsecured .

(a)     Unsecured Claim . The right of a Participant or his Beneficiary to receive a distribution hereunder shall be an unsecured claim, and neither the Participant nor any Beneficiary shall have any rights in or against any amount credited to his Account or any other specific assets of the Company or an Affiliate. The right of a Participant or Beneficiary to the payment of benefits under this Plan shall not be assigned, encumbered, or transferred, except as permitted under Section 6.7(a)(2) or 9.2. The rights of a Participant hereunder are exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by him or his guardian or legal representative.

(b)     Contractual Obligation . The Company or an Affiliate may authorize the creation of a trust or other arrangements to assist it in meeting the obligations created under the Plan, subject to the restrictions on funding such trust or arrangement imposed by Code Sections 409A(b)(2) or (3). However, any liability to any person with respect to the Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created pursuant to the Plan. No obligation of the Company or an Affiliate shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge of, or other encumbrance on, any property of the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing contained in this Plan and no action taken pursuant to its terms shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or an Affiliate and any Participant or Beneficiary, or any other person.

(c)     No Right to Employment . Participation in this Plan, or any modifications thereof, or the payments of any benefits hereunder, shall not be construed as giving to any person any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, limiting in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate

16



to terminate such person’s employment at any time, evidencing any agreement or understanding that the Company or any Affiliate will employ such person in any particular position or any particular rate of compensation or guaranteeing such person any right to receive any other form or amount of remuneration from the Company or any Affiliate.

Section 9.6    Amendment or Termination of Plan .

(a)     Amendment . The Committee may at any time amend the Plan, including but not limited to modifying the terms and conditions applicable to (or otherwise eliminating) Deferrals to be made on or after the amendment date to the extent not prohibited by Code Section 409A; provided, however, that no amendment may reduce or eliminate any Account balance accrued to the date of such amendment (except as such Account balance may be reduced as a result of investment losses allocable to such Account) without a Participant’s consent except as otherwise specifically provided herein; and provided further that the Board must approve any amendment that expands the class of employees eligible for participation under the Plan, that materially increases the benefits provided under the Plan or that is required to be approved by the Board by any applicable law or the listing requirements of the national securities exchange upon which the Company’s ordinary shares are then traded. In addition, the Administrator may at any time amend the Plan to make administrative changes and changes necessary to comply with applicable law.

(b)     Termination . The Committee may terminate the Plan in accordance with the following provisions. Upon termination of the Plan, any deferral elections then in effect shall be cancelled to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the payment of all amounts accrued under the Plan in a single sum payment without regard to any distribution election then in effect, only in the following circumstances:

(1)
The Plan is terminated pursuant to irrevocable action taken by the Committee within the thirty (30) days preceding or the twelve (12) months following a change in control event (as defined in Code Section 409A), provided that all other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under Code Section 409A are also terminated and liquidated with respect to each participant that experienced the change in control event. In such event, the single sum payment must be distributed within twelve (12) months after such irrevocable action is taken.

(2)
The Plan is terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A). In such event, the single sum payment must be distributed by the latest of: (A) the last day of the calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs, (B) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (C) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.

(3)
The Plan is terminated at any other time, provided that such termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company or an Affiliate, and all other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under Code Section 409A are also terminated and liquidated. In such event, the single sum payment shall be paid no earlier than twelve (12) months (and no later than twenty-four (24) months) after the date of the Plan’s termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment that would otherwise be paid

17



during the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Plan termination date pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be paid in accordance with such terms. In addition, the Company or any Affiliate shall be prohibited from adopting a similar arrangement within three (3) years following the date of the Plan’s termination.

Section 9.7.    Administrative Expenses . Costs of establishing and administering the Plan will be paid by the Company and its participating Affiliates.

Section 9.8.    Successors and Assigns . This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and the Participants and their heirs, executors, administrators, and legal representatives.

Section 9.9.    Governing Law; Limitation on Actions; Dispute Resolution .

(a)     Governing Law . This Plan is intended to be a plan of deferred compensation maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees as that term is used in ERISA, and shall be interpreted so as to comply with the applicable requirements thereof. In all other respects, the Plan is to be construed and its validity determined according to the laws of the State of Wisconsin (without reference to conflict of law principles thereof) to the extent such laws are not preempted by federal law.

(b)     Limitation on Actions . Any action or other legal proceeding with respect to the Plan may be brought only after the claims and appeals procedures of Section 9.4 are exhausted and only within period ending on the earlier of (1) one year after the date claimant receives notice or deemed notice of a denial upon appeal under Section 9.4(b), or (2) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period under applicable federal law. Any action or other legal proceeding not adjudicated under ERISA must be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c).

(c)     Arbitration .

(1)
Application . Notwithstanding any employee agreement in effect between a Participant and the Company or any Affiliate, if a Participant or Beneficiary brings a claim that relates to benefits under this Plan that is not covered under ERISA, and regardless of the basis of the claim (including but not limited to, actions under Title VII, wrongful discharge, breach of employment agreement, etc.), such claim shall be settled by final binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(2)
Initiation of Action . Arbitration must be initiated by serving or mailing a written notice of the complaint to the other party. Normally, such written notice should be provided to the other party within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint. However, this time frame may be extended if the applicable statute of limitation provides for a longer period of time. If the complaint is not properly submitted within the appropriate time frame, all rights and claims that the complaining party has or may have against the other party

18



shall be waived and void. Any notice sent to the Company shall be delivered to:

Office of General Counsel
Johnson Controls International plc
5757 North Green Bay Avenue
P.O. Box 591
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0591

The notice must identify and describe the nature of all complaints asserted and the facts upon which such complaints are based. Notice will be deemed given according to the date of any postmark or the date of time of any personal delivery.
(3)
Compliance with Personnel Policies . Before proceeding to arbitration on a complaint, the Participant or Beneficiary must initiate and participate in any complaint resolution procedure identified in the Company’s or Affiliate’s personnel policies. If the claimant has not initiated the complaint resolution procedure before initiating arbitration on a complaint, the initiation of the arbitration shall be deemed to begin the complaint resolution procedure. No arbitration hearing shall be held on a complaint until any applicable complaint resolution procedure has been completed.

(4)
Rules of Arbitration . All arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator according to the Employment Dispute Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitrator will have authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant including, without limitation, specific performance of any obligation created under policy, the awarding of punitive damages, the issuance of any injunction, costs and attorney’s fees to the extent permitted by law, or the imposition of sanctions for abuse of the arbitration process. The arbitrator’s award must be rendered in a writing that sets forth the essential findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s award is based.

(5)
Representation and Costs . Each party may be represented in the arbitration by an attorney or other representative selected by the party. The Company or Affiliate shall be responsible for its own costs, the AAA filing fee and all other fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator and AAA for administering the arbitration. The claimant shall be responsible for his attorney’s or representative’s fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim which allows the prevailing party costs and/or attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees as provided by such statute.

(6)
Discovery; Location; Rules of Evidence . Discovery will be allowed to the same extent afforded under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Arbitration will be held at a location selected by the Company. AAA rules notwithstanding, the admissibility of evidence offered at the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator who shall be the judge of its materiality and relevance. Legal rules of evidence will not be controlling, and the standard for admissibility of

19



evidence will generally be whether it is the type of information that responsible people rely upon in making important decisions.

(7)
Confidentiality . The existence, content or results of any arbitration may not be disclosed by a party or arbitrator without the prior written consent of both parties. Witnesses who are not a party to the arbitration shall be excluded from the hearing except to testify.

ADDENDUM
SPECIAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO DELAYED PAYMENTS

In connection with the merger of Johnson Controls, Inc. with and into a subsidiary of Tyco International plc on September 2, 2016, the amounts accrued through such date under the Johnson Controls, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Johnson Controls, Inc. Retirement Restoration Plan became distributable thereunder pursuant to the change in control provisions of such plans. Certain of the amounts payable under both such plans to Mr. Alex Molinaroli (the “Executive”) would have been nondeductible by Johnson Controls, Inc. as a result of the application of Code Section 162(m). As such, as permitted by Code Section 409A, the Company elected to delay the distribution of such amounts until either (1) the Executive’s first taxable year in which the Company reasonably anticipates, or should reasonably anticipate, that if the payment is made during such year, the deduction of such payment will not be barred by application of Code Section 162(m) or (2) during the period beginning with the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service and ending on the later of the last day of the fiscal year of the Company in which the Executive Separates from Service or the 15 th day of the third month following the Executive’s Separation from Service. Where the payment is delayed to a date on or after the Executive’s Separation from Service, if the Executive is a specified employee (within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the Company’s policies in regard thereto) as of the date of such Separation from Service, then payment will not be made under the date that is six months after the date of the Executive’s Separation from Service. The deferred amounts described herein will otherwise be subject to the provisions of this Plan, including the right of the Executive to direct the investment of such amounts and the right of the Executive to designate a Beneficiary to receive such amounts in the event of the Executive’s death.

TYCO SUPPLEMENTAL SAVINGS
AND RETIREMENT PLAN
Article 1

Effective Date and Purpose
1.1      Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan . Tyco International (US) Inc. (predecessor to Tyco International Management Company) established and maintained the Tyco International (US) Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The SERP provided certain of the key employees of Tyco International (US) Inc. and the key employees of its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates with benefits intended to make up for amounts that could not be contributed on their behalf as matching contributions under the Tyco International (US) Inc. Retirement Savings and Investment Plan (“RSIP”) due to certain restrictions applicable under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The SERP was frozen as of December 31, 2004; benefits accrued under that plan as of December 31, 2004 and no further benefits will accrue under the SERP from and after December 31, 2004. Benefits under the SERP will remain payable in accordance with the terms of the SERP. Effective January 1, 2009 the name of the SERP was changed to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and was amended in order to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder.
Deferred Compensation Plan . TME Management Corp. adopted the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective April 1, 1994, to allow a select group of key management or other highly compensated employees of the Company and its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries to defer the receipt of compensation that would otherwise be payable to them. TME Management Corp. amended and restated the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of January 1, 2005, to (i) rename it the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “SSRP”), (ii) change certain of the SSRP’s provisions applicable to future deferred compensation elections, and (iii) provide for additional benefits intended to make up for contributions that cannot be made under the RSIP for the benefit of certain key employees due to certain restrictions applicable under the Code.
Sponsorship of the SSRP was transferred from TME Management Corp. to Citrine Management Corp., effective as of September 30, 2006. The name of Citrine Management Corp. was subsequently changed to Tyco International Management Company (“TIMCO Corp.”), effective as of February 8, 2007. TIMCO Corp. amended and restated the SSRP, effective as of January 1, 2008, to conform the SSRP to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder and to incorporate certain amendments to the SSRP that were adopted since the SSRP’s last restatement. TIMCO Corp. again amended

1


and restated the SSRP effective January 1, 2009 (the “2009 SSRP”). Sponsorship of the SSRP was transferred from TIMCO Corp. to Tyco International Management Company, LLC (“TIMCO”) in 2010.
1.2      Merger of SERP and SSRP . Effective as of September 28, 2012, TIMCO merged the SERP into the SSRP, with such resulting plan named the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the amendment and restatement was to combine the SERP and the SSRP into one plan document for administrative convenience, and was not intended to change the terms of either plan, or to create new or duplicate benefits. The successor provisions applicable to all benefits accrued under the SERP, including the payment of benefits accrued under the SERP which was frozen as of December 31, 2004 (subject to any changes made in such terms for benefits not vested as of December 31, 2004 in order to comply with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder), are set forth in Exhibit A .
The provisions of the Plan as amended and restated apply (i) to Base Salary Deferrals, Spillover Deferrals, Matching Credits, Company Credits and Discretionary Credits for Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 2009, (ii) to Bonus Compensation Deferrals for Fiscal Years beginning on or after September 29, 2008, and (iii) to any earnings credited thereon (collectively the “2009 Deferrals”). Tyco amended and restated the Plan, effective January 1, 2016, to remove Company Credits for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and to provide for a transition benefit for certain RSIP participants who have elected a Spillover Deferral.
Deferrals prior to the 2009 Deferrals and on or after January 1, 2005 under the SSRP and earnings thereon shall continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement plan, amended and restated as of January 1, 2005 (attached as Exhibit B ) and with any elections made thereunder. Deferrals made prior to January 1, 2005, and earnings thereon, shall continue to be administered in accordance with the terms of the Tyco Deferred Compensation Plan effective April 1, 1994 amended through May 2003 (attached as Exhibit C ) and with any elections made thereunder. Exhibit C contains the applicable provisions of the Plan, including
TIMCO intends that Plan shall at all times be maintained on an unfunded basis for federal income tax purposes under the Code, and administered as a non-qualified, “top hat” plan exempt from the substantive requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
1.3      2012 Separation . On March 27, 2012 Tyco International Ltd. (“TIL”) entered into a transaction whereby the public shareholders of TIL shall be issued stock dividends consisting of the common stock of The ADT Corporation (“ADT”) and Tyco Flow Control International Ltd. (“Flow Control”) as of the September 28, 2012 separation date, as described in the Form 10 filed by ADT with the SEC on April 10, 2012, and the Forms S-1 and S-4 filed by Flow Control with the SEC on May 8, 2012 (the transaction, the “2012 Separation”). As a result of the 2012 Separation TIL, Flow Control, and ADT are no longer members of the same controlled group of corporations.
Also on March 27, 2012, TIL, Flow Control, Panthro Acquisition Co., Panthro Merger Sub, Inc., and Pentair, Inc., entered into a Merger Agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Form 8-K filed by TIL on March 30, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”), whereby Flow Control’s indirect wholly owned subsidiary and Pentair, Inc., shall merge immediately following the Flow Control dividend distribution, with Pentair surviving the merger as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Flow Control and Flow Control renamed as Pentair Ltd.
TIL, Flow Control, and ADT entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, a form of which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 to the Form 8-K filed by TIL on March 30, 2012, and TIL and ADT entered into a

2


Separation and Distribution Agreement, a form of which was attached to the DEFM14A filed on August 3, 2012 to effect the 2012 Separation (a “Separation Agreement”).
In accordance with the Separation Agreement, (i) TIMCO shall spin off a portion of the assets and liabilities of Participants and Beneficiaries related to the SSRP and the SERP under the Plan to ADT LLC as designated by TIL and set forth on Exhibit D and (ii) TIMCO shall spin off a portion of the assets and liabilities of Participants and Beneficiaries related to the SSRP and SERP under the Plan to Tyco Valves and Controls LLC as designated by TIL and set forth on Exhibit E .
1.4      Restatement to Freeze Plan . Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, no new Participants will be permitted, and no additional deferrals of compensation or Discretionary Credits will credited to Participants’ Accounts, effective January 1, 2018; provided, however , that Compensation Deferrals relating to Bonus Compensation earned for the 2017 Fiscal Year, Spillover Deferrals relating to the 2017 Plan Year, and Discretionary Credits relating to the 2017 Plan Year may still be credited to Participants’ Accounts after such date. The terms of the Plan will otherwise continue to apply to Participants’ Accounts until such Accounts are distributed, or the Plan is terminated, according to the terms of the Plan.
1.5      Compliance with Code Section 409A . The terms of this Plan are intended to, and shall be interpreted and applied so as to, comply in all respects with the provisions of Code Section 409A and regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder and, if necessary, any provision shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or part thereof) fails to comply with Section 409A or the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The first annual installment payment in a series of installment payments shall be equal to (i) the value of the Participant’s Account (or relevant portion thereof) on the Valuation Date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (ii) the number of installment payments elected by the Participant. The remaining installments shall be paid in an amount equal to (x) the value of such Account (or relevant portion thereof) on the Valuation Date, with the Measurement Funds being deemed to have been liquidated on that date to make the payment, divided by (y) the number of remaining unpaid installment payments.

(d)      appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Participant wishes to submit the claim for review;

18


9.3      Request for Review . Within 60 days after the receipt by the Participant of the written explanation described above, the Participant may request in writing that the Plan Administrator review its determination. The Participant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Plan Administrator. If the Participant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Participant shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination.
9.4      Review of Decision . After considering all materials presented by the Participant, the Plan Administrator will render a written decision, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the relevant provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based. The decision on review shall normally be made within 60 days after the Plan Administrator’s receipt of the Participant’s claim or request. If an extension of time is required for a hearing or other special circumstances, the Participant shall be notified and the time limit shall be 120 days. The decision shall be in writing and shall state the reasons and the relevant Plan provisions and the Participant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502 of ERISA. All decisions on review shall be final and shall bind all parties concerned.
9.5      Special Appeals Committee . Notwithstanding the above, any claim, or appeal of a claim denial, under the Plan or any predecessor plan that falls within the scope of the resolution adopted by the Tyco International (US) Inc. Board of Directors on December 8, 2003 creating a committee (the “Special Appeals Committee”) with respect to benefit claims and appeals by certain former executives (“Named Executives”) as contemplated therein shall be handled by the Special Appeals Committee under and in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Special Appeals Committee, which procedures shall be incorporated by reference herein. In connection therewith, the Special Appeals Committee shall have full discretionary power and authority to interpret the Plan or any predecessor plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind any rules, forms and procedures as it deems necessary or appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan or any predecessor plan and to make any other determinations, including factual determinations, and take such other actions as it deems necessary or advisable in carrying out its duties under the Plan or any predecessor plan with respect to the Named Executives. All decisions and determinations by the Special Appeals Committee shall be final and binding on the Company, the Named Executives, their Beneficiaries and any other persons having or claiming an interest hereunder by or through them.

Article 10

Miscellaneous
10.1      Protective Provisions . Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Plan Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Plan Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If a Participant or Beneficiary refuses to cooperate with the Plan Administrator, the Company shall have no further obligation to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan, other than payment of the then-current balance of the Participant’s Accounts in accordance with prior elections and subject to Section 10.11.
10.2      Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary . In the event that the Plan Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to commence pursuant to Article VIII.
10.3      Designation of Beneficiary . Each Participant may designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person if approved by the Committee in its sole discretion) to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death. No Beneficiary designation shall become effective until it is in writing and it is filed with the Plan Administrator. A Beneficiary designation under the Plan may be separate from all other retirement-type plans sponsored by the Company. Such designation may be changed or canceled by the Participant at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Plan Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Plan Administrator, or its designee. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise.
10.4      No Contract of Employment . Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company, and all Participants and other employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.
10.5      No Limitation on Company Actions . Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company from taking any action which is deemed by it to be appropriate or in its best interest. No Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any claim against the Company as a result of such action.
10.6      Obligations to Company . If a Participant becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company, then the Company may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributed; provided, however, that such deductions cannot exceed $5,000 in the aggregate.



20


10.7      No Liability for Action or Omission . Neither the Company nor any director, officer or employee of the Company shall be responsible or liable in any manner to any Participant, Beneficiary or any person claiming through them for any benefit or action taken or omitted in connection with the granting of benefits, the continuation of benefits, or the interpretation and administration of Plan.
10.8 Nonalienation of Benefits . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall such accounts of a Participant be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Plan Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Plan Administrator shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be awarded to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(K) of ERISA) if and to the extent so provided in a judgment, decree or order that, in the Committee’s sole discretion, would meet the applicable requirements for qualification as a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) if the Plan were subject to the provisions of Section 206(d) of ERISA. Such amounts shall be payable to the alternate payee in the form of a lump sum distribution and shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the Plan Administrator’s determination that the order satisfies the requirements to be a “qualified domestic relations order.”
10.9      Liability for Benefit Payments . The obligation to pay or provide for payment of a benefit hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall, at all times, be the sole and exclusive liability and responsibility of the Company that employed the Participant immediately prior to the event giving rise to a payment obligation (the “Responsible Company”). No other Company or parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company shall be liable or responsible for such payment, and nothing in the Plan shall be construed as creating or imposing any joint or shared liability for any such payment (other than the TIL guarantee set forth in Section 10.10 below). The fact that a Company or a parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company other than the Responsible Company actually makes one or more payments to a Participant or his Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; rather, any such payment shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of and for the account of the Responsible Company.
10.10      TIL Guarantee . TIL guarantees the payment by the Responsible Company of any benefits provided for or contemplated under the Plan which either (i) the Responsible Company concedes are due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary or (ii) are finally determined to be due and owing to a Participant or Beneficiary, but which in either case the Responsible Company fails to pay.






21


10.11      Unfunded Status of Plan . The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” deferred and supplemental retirement compensation plan for Participants, with all benefits payable hereunder constituting an unfunded contractual payment obligation of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. The Company shall reflect on its books the Participants’ interests hereunder, but no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant or other person. A Participant’s right to receive payments under the Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. Except to the extent that the Company determines that a “rabbi” trust may be established in connection with the Plan, all payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment. The Company’s obligations under the Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (i) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or (ii) any corporation or partnership into which the Company may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.
10.12      Forfeiture for Cause . Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if a Participant Separates from Service for Cause, or if the Plan Administrator determines that a Participant Separates from Service for any other reason had engaged in conduct prior to his or her separation which would have constituted Cause, then the Plan Administrator may determine in its sole discretion that such Participant’s Account under the Plan shall be forfeited and shall not be payable hereunder.
10.13      Governing Law . The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York to the extent not superseded by federal law, without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.
10.14      Severability of Provisions . If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
10.15      Headings and Captions . The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
10.16      Gender, Singular and Plural . All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
10.17      Notice . Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Plan Administrator under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to the Plan Administrator, Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan, c/o Tyco HR Benefits, Tyco International, 6600 Congress Avenue Road, Boca Raton, FL 33487, or to such other person or entity as the Plan Administrator may designate from time to time. Such notice shall be deemed given as to the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.


22


10.18      Amendment and Termination . the Plan may be amended, suspended, or terminated at any time by Tyco International Management Company (in whole or in part) in its sole discretion; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension or termination shall result in any reduction in the value of a Participant’s Account determined as of the effective date of such amendment. In addition, the Plan, and/or the terms of any election made hereunder, may be amended at any time and in any respect by Tyco International Management Company to the extent recommended by counsel in order to conform to the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder or to maintain the tax-qualified status of the RSIP. In the event of any suspension or termination of the Plan (or any portion thereof), payment of Participants’ Accounts shall be made under and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable elections (except that the Plan Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion, to accelerate payments to all Participants if and to the extent that such acceleration is permitted under Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder).
10.19      Delay of Payment for Specified Employees . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a “specified employee” as of the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service within the meaning of Code Section 409A and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder, no distribution under the Plan may be made, or may commence, before the date which is six months after the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

JOHNSON CONTROLS INTERNATIONAL PLC
RETIREMENT RESTORATION PLAN
As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2018

ARTICLE 1
PURPOSE AND DURATION
Section 1.1.      Purpose . The purpose of the Johnson Controls International plc Retirement Restoration Plan (formerly, the Johnson Controls, Inc. Retirement Restoration Plan) (the “Plan”) is to restore retirement benefits to certain participants in a Retirement Plan whose benefits under such plan are or will be limited by reason of Code Sections 401(a)(17), 401(k), 401(m), 402(g) and/or 415, and/or by reason of the election of such employees to defer income or reduce salary pursuant to this Plan or to defer annual incentive payments pursuant to the Johnson Controls International plc Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. This Plan is completely separate from the tax-qualified plans maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries and is not funded or qualified for special tax treatment under the Code. The Plan is intended to be an unfunded plan covering a select group of management and highly compensated employees for purposes of ERISA.
Section 1.2.      Duration of the Plan . The Plan became effective as of January 1, 1980. The Plan has been amended and restated several times since it was originally effective, most recently as of January 1, 2018. Notwithstanding the effective date of this amended and restated Plan, the Administrator may implement administrative changes necessary to effectuate the Plan changes prior to such date (such as provide enrollment forms in 2017 consistent with the changes described in the Plan). The Plan shall remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Article 8.

(a)      “Account” means the record keeping account or accounts maintained to record the interest of each Participant under Article 4. An Account is established for record keeping purposes only and not to reflect the physical segregation of assets on the Participant’s behalf, and may consist of such subaccounts or balances as the Administrator may determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(b)      “Administrator” means the Corporate Benefits Department of the Company; provided that , where either applicable law or the Charter of the Committee requires action to be taken by the Committee, then the term Administrator shall refer to the Committee to the extent needed.

(d)      “Beneficiary” means the person or persons designated by the Participant to receive payments under the Plan in the event of the Participant’s death as provided in Section 4.3.
(e) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

The Administrator, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether Cause exists. Examples of “Cause” may include, but are not limited to, excessive absenteeism, misconduct, insubordination, violation of Company policy, dishonesty, and deliberate unsatisfactory performance (e.g., Employee refuses to improve deficient performance).
(g)      “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as interpreted by regulations and rulings issued pursuant thereto, all as amended and in effect from time to time. Any reference to a specific provision of the Code shall be deemed to include any rulings and regulations promulgated thereunder and reference to any successor provision thereto.

2



(n)      “Measurement Funds” means the investment options offered under the Savings Plan (excluding the Company stock fund), the Share Unit Account, and any other alternatives made available by the Administrator.

The determination of an increase or decrease in the performance of each Measurement Fund shall be made by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion. Measurement Funds may be replaced, new funds may be added, or both, from time to time in the discretion of the Administrator; provided that if the Measurement Funds hereunder correspond with funds available for investment under the Savings Plan, then, unless the Administrator determines otherwise in its discretion, any addition, removal or replacement of investment funds under the Savings Plan shall automatically result in a corresponding change to the Measurement Funds hereunder.
(o)      “Participant” means an employee of the Company or an Affiliate who is described in an applicable Appendix hereto; provided that the Committee shall limit the foregoing group of eligible employees to a select group of management and highly compensated employees, as determined by the Committee in accordance with ERISA.

(i)
If a Participant takes a leave of absence from the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence, the Participant’s service will be deemed to continue for the first six (6) months of the leave of absence, or if longer, for so long as the Participant’s right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract; provided that if the leave of absence is due to the Participant’s medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of six (6) months or more, and such impairment causes the Participant to be unable to perform the duties of his or her position with the Company or an Affiliate or a substantially similar position of employment, then the leave period may be extended for up to a total of twenty-nine (29) months. If the period of the leave exceeds the time periods set forth above and the Participant’s right to reemployment is not provided by either statute or contract, the Participant will be considered to have incurred a Separation from Service on the first day following the end of the applicable time period set forth above.
(ii)
A Participant will be presumed to have incurred a Separation from Service when the level of bona fide services performed by the Participant for the Company and its Affiliates permanently decreases to a level equal to twenty percent (20%) or less of the average level of services performed by the Participant for the Company and its

3



Affiliates during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of service).
(iii)
The Participant will be presumed not to have incurred a Separation from Service while the Participant continues to provide bona fide services to the Company or an Affiliate in any capacity (whether as an employee or independent contractor) at a level that at least fifty percent (50%) of the average level of services performed by the Participant for the Company and its Affiliates during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or such lesser period of service).
(iv)
If a Participant ceases to provide services as an employee to the Company or an Affiliate, but immediately thereafter continues to provide services as an independent contractor to any such entity without incurring a Separation from Service as described in the subparagraphs above, then such Participant will not incur a Separation from Service until the expiration of the contract (or, if applicable, all contracts) under which services are performed for the Company and any Affiliate if the expiration is a good-faith and complete termination of the contractual relationship.
(s) “Share” means an ordinary share of the Company.
(t)      “Share Unit Account” means the portion of the Participant’s Account that is deemed invested in Shares.
(u)      “Share Units” means the hypothetical Shares that are credited to the Share Unit Accounts in accordance with Article 6.
(v)      “Trading Day” means each day when the United States financial markets are open for business.

4



the Committee. In addition, any action taken by the Committee shall be controlling over any contrary action of the Administrator.
Section 3.3.      Delegation . The Committee or Administrator may, in its discretion, delegate any or all of its authority and responsibility to third parties; provided that the Committee shall not delegate authority and responsibility with respect to non-ministerial functions that relate to the participation by Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act at the time any such delegated authority or responsibility is exercised. To the extent of any such delegation, any references herein to the Committee or Administrator, as applicable, shall be deemed references to such delegate.
Section 3.4.      Interpretation; Decisions Binding . Interpretation of the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee or the Administrator with respect to their respective duties hereunder. If any member of, or delegate of, the Committee or the Administrator shall also be a Participant or Beneficiary, then such individual may not participate in any determinations affecting the individual’s benefits under the Plan. The Committee’s and the Administrator’s determinations shall be final and binding on all parties with an interest hereunder, unless determined to be arbitrary and capricious.
Section 3.5.      Procedures for Administration . The Committee’s determinations must be made by not less than a majority of its members present at the meeting (in person or otherwise) at which a quorum is present, or by written majority consent, which sets forth the action, is signed by the members of the Committee and filed with the minutes for proceedings of the Committee. A majority of the entire Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The Administrator’s determinations shall be made in accordance with such procedures it establishes.
Section 3.6.      Restrictions to Comply with Section 16 . All transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Committee and the Administrator shall administer the Plan so that transactions under the Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and shall have the right to restrict or rescind any transaction, or impose other rules and requirements, to the extent it deems necessary or desirable for such exemption or compliance to be met.
Section 3.7.      Accelerated Vesting . The Committee (with respect to Participants who are officers of the Company) and an executive officer of the Company (with respect to Participants who are not officers of the Company) shall have the discretion to vest any Participant in his or her Account hereunder, in whole or in part, upon the Participant’s termination of employment from the Company and its Affiliates for any reason.
ARTICLE 4
PLAN BENEFITS
Section 4.1.      Eligibility for and Amount of Benefits .
(a)      In General . Participants shall be eligible for a benefit in accordance with the terms of the applicable Appendix.
(b)      Employees Acquired in a Merger or Acquisition . In the event an individual becomes an employee of the Company or an Affiliate due to a merger or acquisition, such employee shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan until such time that participation is approved by the Company via amendment of the Plan, corporate resolution or pursuant to the terms of the applicable purchase

5



agreement, even if such employee would otherwise be eligible to participate in the Plan under the terms of an Appendix.
Section 4.2.      Payment of Benefits . Upon a Participant’s Separation from Service for any reason, the Participant shall be entitled to payment of the vested balance of the Participant’s Account in cash in the manner specified in the applicable Appendix.
Section 4.3. Death Benefit .
(a)      Payment upon Death . In the event of the Participant’s death prior to receiving all payments due under this Plan, the vested balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a cash lump sum. If the Participant’s death occurs between January 1 and June 30, payment will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary between July 1 and September 30 of the same year. If the Participant’s death occurs between July 1 and December 31, payment will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary between January 1 and March 31 of the following year.
(b)      Requirements for Payment . The timing of the payment(s) under Section 4.3(a) is dependent upon the Administrator receiving all information needed to authorize such payment (such as a copy of the Participant’s death certificate). To the extent the Administrator cannot make a payment because it has not received such information, the Administrator shall make such payment(s) to the Beneficiary as soon as practicable in accordance with Section 4.3(a) after it has received all information necessary to make such payment, provided that such payment(s) due from the date of death through December 31 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death must be completed by such December 31 in order to avoid additional taxes under Code Section 409A.
Section 4.4.      Tax Withholding . The Employer that is liable to make a payment hereunder shall have the right to deduct from any deferral or payment made hereunder, or from any other amount due a Participant, the amount of cash sufficient to satisfy the Employer’s foreign, federal, state or local income tax withholding obligations with respect to any amount deferred hereunder, whether at the time of deferral, vesting or payment thereof. In addition, if prior to the date of distribution of any amount hereunder, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, becomes due, then the Employer may distribute from the Participant’s Account balance the amount needed to pay the Participant’s portion of such tax, plus an amount equal to the withholding taxes due under federal, state or local law resulting from the payment of such FICA tax, and an additional amount to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding of the section 3401 wages and taxes, but no greater than the aggregate of the FICA amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA amount. Each Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any benefits under the Plan.
Section 4.5. Additional Payment Provisions .
(a)      Acceleration of Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(v)

6



(vi)
If an amount under the Plan is required to be immediately distributed in a lump sum under a domestic relations order in accordance with Section 9.8, then such amount shall be distributed according to the terms of such order.
(b)      Delay in Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(vii)
If a distribution required under the terms of this Plan would jeopardize the ability of the Company or an Affiliate to continue as a going concern, the Company or the Affiliate shall not be required to make such distribution. Rather, the distribution shall be delayed until the first date that making the distribution does not jeopardize the ability of the Company or an Affiliate to continue as a going concern. Any distribution delayed under this provision shall be treated as made on the date specified under the terms of this Plan.
(viii)
If a distribution will violate the terms of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or other Federal securities laws, or any other applicable law, then the distribution shall be delayed until the earliest date on which making the distribution will not violate such law.
Section 4.6.      Effect of Payment . The full payment of the applicable benefit under this Plan shall completely discharge all obligations on the part of the Employer to the Participant (and each Beneficiary) with respect to the operation of the Plan, and the Participant’s (and Beneficiary’s) rights under the Plan shall terminate.
Section 4.7.      Cash-Out Payments . Notwithstanding any distribution election made under the applicable Appendix, if the balance of a Participant’s Account as of any Valuation Date preceding a distribution is $50,000 or less, then the entire remaining balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum on suh distribution date.
ARTICLE 5
MEASUREMENT FUNDS
Section 5.1. Investment Election .
(a)      Making Elections . Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, amounts credited to a Participant’s Account shall reflect the investment experience of the Measurement Funds selected by the Participant. The Participant may select Measurement Funds as follows:
(ix)
The Participant may make an initial investment election at the time of enrollment in the Plan in whole increments of one percent (1%).
(x)
A Participant may elect to allocate any future amounts credited among the various Measurement Funds in whole increments of one percent (1%) from time to time as prescribed by the Administrator.
(xi)
A Participant may elect to reallocate the balance of his or her Account into various Measurement Funds from time to time as prescribed by the Administrator.
Investment elections shall remain in effect until changed by the Participant or the Administrator. All investment elections shall become effective as soon as practicable after receipt of such election by the

7



Administrator, and must be made in the form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator prescribes in order to be effective.
(b)      Default Election . In the absence of an effective election, the Participant’s Account shall be deemed invested in the applicable default fund under the Savings Plan.
Section 5.2.      Crediting of Earnings (or Losses) . On each Trading Day, a Participant’s Account shall be credited with all deemed earnings (or losses) generated by the Measurement Funds in which such Participant’s Account is deemed invested. Notwithstanding that the rates of return credited to a Participant’s Account are based upon the actual performance of the corresponding Measurement Fund, the Company shall not be obligated to invest an amount credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan in such Measurement Funds or in any other investment funds.
Section 5.3.      Pro-rata Distribution . Any distribution made to or on behalf of a Participant from his or her Account in an amount which is less than the entire balance of his or her Account shall be made pro rata from each of the Measurement Funds to which such Account is then allocated.
ARTICLE 6
RULES WITH RESPECT TO SHARE UNITS
Section 6.1.      Valuation of Share Unit Account When any amounts are to be allocated to a Share Unit Account, such amount shall be converted to whole and fractional Share Units, by dividing the amount to be allocated by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of such allocation. If any dividends or other distributions are paid on Shares while a Participant has Share Units credited to his or her Account, such Participant’s Account shall be credited with a dividend award equal to the amount of the cash dividend paid or Fair Market Value of other property distributed on one Share, multiplied by the number of Share Units credited to his or her Share Unit Account on the date the dividend is declared. The dividend award shall be converted into additional Share Units as provided above using the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend is paid or distributed. Any other provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a dividend is declared on Shares in the form of a right or rights to purchase shares of the Company or any entity acquiring the Company, then no additional Share Units shall be credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account with respect to such dividend, but each Share Unit credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account at the time such dividend is paid, and each Share Unit thereafter credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account at a time when such rights are attached to Shares, shall thereafter be valued as of any point in time on the basis of the aggregate of the then Fair Market Value of one Share plus the then Fair Market Value of such right or rights then attached to one Share.
Section 6.2.      Transactions Affecting Shares . In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share dividend, share split or other change in corporate structure of the Company affecting Shares, the Administrator may make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Share Units credited to the Share Unit Account of each Participant, including without limitation, adjusting the date as of which such units are valued and/or distributed, as the Administrator determines is necessary or desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided under the Plan.
Section 6.3.      No Shareholder Rights With Respect to Share Units . Participants shall have no rights as a shareholder pertaining to Share Units credited to their Account.

ARTICLE 7
SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE IN THE EVENT OF A
CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Section 7.1. Effect of a Change of Control .
(a)      Upon a Change of Control (as defined in (b) below), the Committee may, but shall not be required to, terminate the Plan and cause the Company or each Employer to distribute to each Participant or Beneficiary his or her Account balance (which shall be fully vested upon the date of such Plan termination) in a lump sum payment as soon as practicable (but not more than ninety (90) days) following the Change of Control; provided that , if the Committee reasonably anticipates that any such lump sum payment would reduce or eliminate the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s deduction for compensation to a Participant because of the compensation limit imposed under Code Section 162(m), then the Committee may elect to delay payment of such amount in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
(b)      For the purposes of this Section 7.1, a Change of Control shall have the meaning given in the Company’s equity awards plan as in effect at the time immediately prior to a Change of Control, provided that such event also constitutes a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
Section 7.2.      Special Rule for Amounts Accumulated Before 2017 . Notwithstanding Section 7.1, each Participant (or any Beneficiary entitled to receive payments hereunder) shall receive a lump sum payment in cash of all amounts accumulated in such Participant’s Account with respect to periods through December 31, 2016 (as adjusted for earnings or losses thereon) within ninety (90) days following a Change of Control, as defined in the Pre-2018 Johnson Controls International plc Deferred Compensation Plan, provided, however , that the payment shall not be made prior to the date that is five (5) years after the occurrence of events that would have constituted a Change of Control as it was defined in this Plan prior to January 1, 2016.
Section 7.3. Maximum Payment Limitation .
(a)      Limit on Payments . Except as provided in subsection (b) below, if any portion of the payments or benefits described in this Plan or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company or an Affiliate (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment”, then the Total Payments to be made to the Participant shall be reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Participant is entitled to receive shall be one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount which the Participant may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which the Company or an Affiliate may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code. The terms “excess parachute payment” and “parachute payment” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code, and such “parachute payments” shall be valued as provided therein. Present value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Within forty (40) days following delivery of notice by the Employer to the Participant of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Participant which will result in an excess parachute payment, the Participant and the Employer, at the Employer’s expense, shall obtain the opinion (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Participant in his or her sole discretion (which may be regular outside counsel to the Company or an Affiliate), which opinion sets forth (1) the amount of the Base Period Income, (2) the amount and present value of Total Payments and (3) the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments determined without regard to the limitations of this Section. As used in this Section, the term

9



“Base Period Income” means an amount equal to the Participant’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” as defined in Section 280G(d)(1) of the Code. For purposes of such opinion, the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code, which determination shall be evidenced in a certificate of such auditors addressed to the Employer and the Participant. Such opinion shall be addressed to the Employer and the Participant and shall be binding upon the Employer and the Participant. If such opinion determines that there would be an excess parachute payment, the payments hereunder that are includible in Total Payments or any other payment or benefit determined by such counsel to be includible in Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated so that there will be no excess parachute payment by applying the following principles, in order: (1) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (2) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (3) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Section 409A of the Code, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payment or benefits (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments). If such legal counsel so requests in connection with the opinion required by this Section, the Participant and the Employer shall obtain, at the Employer’s expense, and the legal counsel may rely on in providing the opinion, the advice of a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by the Participant. If the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code are repealed without succession, then this Section shall be of no further force or effect.
(b)      Employment Contract Governs . The provisions of subsection (a) above shall not apply to a Participant whose employment is governed by an employment contract that provides for Total Payments in excess of the limitation described in subsection (a) above.
ARTICLE 8
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
Section 8.1.      Amendment . The Committee may at any time amend the Plan, including but not limited to modifying the terms and conditions applicable to (or otherwise eliminating) allocations or deferrals to be made on or after the amendment date to the extent not prohibited by Code Section 409A; provided, however, that no amendment may reduce or eliminate any vested Account balance as of the date of such amendment ( except as such Account balance may be reduced as a result of investment losses allocable to such account) without a Participant’s consent except as otherwise specifically provided herein; and provided further that any amendment that is required to be approved by the Board or Company shareholders pursuant to any applicable law or applicable listing requirement of the national securities exchange upon which the Company’s ordinary shares are then traded shall be subject to the Board’s or shareholders’ approval. In addition, the Administrator may at any time amend the Plan to make administrative or ministerial changes or changes necessary to comply with applicable law.
Section 8.2.      Termination . The Committee may terminate the Plan in accordance with the following provisions. Upon termination of the Plan, any deferral elections then in effect shall be cancelled to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the payment of the balance in all Accounts in a single sum payment without regard to any distribution election then in effect, only in the following circumstances:
(a)      The Plan is terminated pursuant to Article 7.

10



(b)      The Plan is terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A). In such event, the single sum payment must be distributed by the latest of: (1) the last day of the calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs, (2) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (3) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.
(c)      The Plan is terminated at any other time, provided that such termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company or an Affiliate, and all other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under Code Section 409A are also terminated and liquidated. In such event, the single sum payment shall be paid no earlier than twelve (12) months (and no later than twenty-four (24) months) after the date of the Plan’s termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment that would otherwise be paid during the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Plan termination date pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be paid in accordance with such terms. In addition, the Company or any Affiliate shall be prohibited from adopting a similar arrangement within three (3) years following the date of the Plan’s termination.
Section 8.3.      Entitlement to Benefits . Nothing herein shall be construed in any way to limit the right of the sponsor of a Retirement Plan to amend, modify or terminate such plan.
ARTICLE 9

A Participant or Beneficiary (referred to as a “claimant” in this Article 9) who believes that he or she is being denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan may file a written request for such benefit with the Administrator, setting forth his or her claim for benefits. Any such claim must be made within one year after the claimant knew, or exercising reasonable care should have known, of the circumstances giving rise to such claim.

A claimant’s claim may also be filed by his or her duly authorized representative.
Section 9.2.      Claim Decision . The Administrator shall reply to any claim that is timely filed under Section 9.1 within ninety (90) days of receipt, unless it determines to extend such reply period for an additional ninety (90) days for reasonable cause.

If the claim is denied in whole or in part, such reply shall include a written explanation, using language calculated to be understood by the claimant, setting forth:
(a) the specific reason or reasons for such denial;
(b)      the specific reference to relevant provisions of the Plan on which such denial is based;
(c)      a description of any additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary;

(g) any other information required by ERISA.
Section 9.3.      Request for Review . Within sixty (60) days after the receipt by the claimant of the written explanation described above, the claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may request in writing that the Administrator review its determination. The claimant (or his or her duly authorized representative) may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Administrator. If the claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the claimant shall be barred and estopped from challenging the determination.
Section 9.4.      Review of Decision . After considering all materials presented by the claimant, the Administrator will render a written decision, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the relevant provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based, and any other information required by ERISA. The decision on review shall normally be made within sixty (60) days after the Administrator’s receipt of the claimant’s request. If an extension of time is required for a hearing or other special circumstances, the Administrator shall notify the claimant and the time limit shall be 120 days. All decisions on review shall be final and shall bind all parties concerned.
Section 9.5.      Limitation on Actions . Any action or other legal proceeding with respect to the Plan may be brought only after the claims procedures of this Article 7 are exhausted and only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) one year after the date claimant receives notice or deemed notice of a denial upon review under Section 9.4 or (b) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period under applicable federal law. Any action or other legal proceeding not adjudicated under ERISA must be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6
Section 9.6.      Arbitration . Notwithstanding any employee agreement in effect between a Participant and the Employer, if a Participant or Beneficiary brings a claim that relates to benefits under this Plan that is not covered under ERISA, and regardless of the basis of the claim (including but not limited to, actions under Title VII, wrongful discharge, breach of employment agreement, etc.), such claim shall be settled by final binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitration must be initiated by serving or mailing a written notice of the complaint to the other party. Normally, such written notice should be provided to the other party within one year (365 days) after the day the complaining party first knew or should have known of the events giving rise to the complaint. However, this time frame may be extended if the applicable statute of limitation provides for a longer period of time. If the complaint is not properly submitted within the appropriate time frame, all rights and claims that the complaining party has or may have against the other party shall be waived and void. Any notice sent to the Employer or Company under this Section shall be delivered to the Company’s headquarters, with attention to the General Counsel of the Company.

ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1.      Protective Provisions . Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder. If a Participant or Beneficiary refuses to cooperate with the Administrator, the Company and each Employer shall have no further obligation to the Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan, other than payment of the then-current balance of the Participant’s Account in accordance with prior elections and subject to Section 10.9.
Section 10.2.      Designation of Beneficiary . Each Participant may designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person if approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion) to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death. A Beneficiary designation under the Plan may be separate from all other retirement-type plans sponsored by the Company. Such designation may be changed or canceled by the Participant at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator or its designee prior to the date of the Participant’s death. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, then the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise. If the Beneficiary survives the Participant, but dies before receipt of payment hereunder, the Beneficiary’s estate shall be entitled to the Beneficiary’s share of the payment.
Section 10.3.      Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary . In the event that the Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant or Beneficiary was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to commence pursuant to Article 6, and the Participant or Beneficiary shall be responsible for all taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A.
Section 10.4.      No Contract of Employment . Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, and all Participants and other employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.
Section 10.5.      Obligations to Company . If a Participant becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company or any Employer, then the Company or the Employer may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributed; provided, however , that such deductions cannot exceed $5,000 in the aggregate to the extent needed to comply with Code Section 409A.
Section 10.6.      No Liability; Indemnification . Neither the Company, any of its Affiliates nor any director, officer or employee of the Company or its Affiliates shall be responsible or liable in any manner to any Participant, Beneficiary or any person claiming through them for any benefit or action taken or omitted in connection with the granting of benefits, the continuation of benefits, or the interpretation and administration of Plan. Service on the Committee or as an Administrator shall

13



constitute service as a director or officer of the Company so that the Committee and Administrator members shall be entitled to indemnification, limitation of liability and reimbursement of expenses with respect to their Committee or Administrator services to the same extent that they are entitled under the Company’s charter documents and applicable law for their services as directors or officers of the Company.
Section 10.7.      Nonalienation of Benefits; Domestic Relations Orders . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall such accounts of a Participant be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Administrator shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be awarded to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(K) of ERISA) if and to the extent so provided in a judgment, decree or order that, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, would meet the applicable requirements for qualification as a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) if the Plan were subject to the provisions of Section 206(d) of ERISA. Such amounts shall be payable to the alternate payee in the form of a lump sum distribution and shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the Administrator’s determination that the order satisfies the requirements to be a “qualified domestic relations order.”
Section 10.8.      Liability for Benefit Payments . The obligation to pay or provide for payment of a benefit hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall be the sole and exclusive liability and responsibility of the Employer which employed the Participant during the period allocations were made to the Participant’s Account. No other Company or parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company shall be liable or responsible for such payment, and nothing in the Plan shall be construed as creating or imposing any joint or shared liability for any such payment. The fact that a Company or a parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company other than the Employer actually makes one or more payments to a Participant or Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; rather, any such payment shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of and for the account of the Employer.
Section 10.9.      Unfunded Status of Plan . The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” supplemental retirement compensation plan for Participants, with all benefits payable hereunder constituting an unfunded contractual payment obligation of the Employer and the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. The Company or Employer shall reflect on its books the Participants’ interests hereunder, but no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company or Employer. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company, an Employer, and any Participant or other person. A Participant’s right to receive payments under the Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or Employer. Except to the extent that the Company or Employer determines that a “rabbi” trust may be established in connection with the Plan, all payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company or Employer, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment.

14



The Company’s or Employer’s obligations under the Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (a) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s or Employer’s assets or (b) any corporation or partnership into which the Company or Employer may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.
Section 10.10.      Governing Law . The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin to the extent not superseded by federal law, without reference to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Section 10.11.      Successors . All obligations of the Employer and the Company under the Plan shall be binding on any successor thereto, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or the Employer.
Section 10.12.      Severability of Provisions . If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
Section 10.13.      Headings and Captions . The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
Section 10.14.      Gender; Singular and Plural . All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
Section 10.15.      Notice . Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to (a) except as provided in Section 8.6, the Company’s headquarters, with attention to the Secretary of the Company, if the notice or filing is to be made to the Administrator, Committee, Company, or Employer or (b) the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s address on file with the Employer, if the notice or filing is to be made to such individual. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
Section 10.16.      Delay of Payment for Specified Employees . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A as of the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service, no distribution under the Plan may be made, or may commence, before the date which is six months after the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

(1)
The Participant may make an initial investment election at the time of enrollment in the Plan in whole increments of one percent (1%).

ARTICLE 7
RULES WITH RESPECT TO SHARE UNITS
Section 7.1.      Valuation of Share Unit Account . When any amounts are to be allocated to a Share Unit Account, such amount shall be converted to whole and fractional Share Units, by dividing the amount to be allocated by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the effective date of such allocation. If any dividends or other distributions are paid on Shares while a Participant has Share Units credited to his or her Account, such Participant’s Account shall be credited with a dividend award equal to the amount of the cash dividend paid or Fair Market Value of other property distributed on one Share, multiplied by the number of Share Units credited to his or her Share Unit Account on the date the dividend is declared. The dividend award shall be converted into additional Share Units as provided above using the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the dividend is paid or distributed. Any other provision of this Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a dividend is declared on Shares in the form of a right or rights to purchase shares of the Company or any entity acquiring the Company, then no additional Share Units shall be credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account with respect to such dividend, but each Share Unit credited to a Participant’s Share Unit Account at the time such dividend is paid, and each Share Unit thereafter credited to the Participant’s Share Unit Account at a time when such rights are attached to Shares, shall thereafter be valued as of any point in time on the basis of the aggregate of the then Fair Market Value of one Share plus the then Fair Market Value of such right or rights then attached to one Share.
Section 7.2.      Transactions Affecting Shares . In the event of any merger, share exchange, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, share dividend, share split or other change in corporate structure of the Company affecting Shares, the Administrator may make appropriate equitable adjustments with respect to the Share Units credited to the Share Unit Account of each Participant, including without limitation, adjusting the date as of which such units are valued and/or distributed, as the Administrator determines is necessary or desirable to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits intended to be provided under the Plan.
Section 7.3.      No Shareholder Rights With Respect to Share Units . Participants shall have no rights as a shareholder pertaining to Share Units credited to their Account.

ARTICLE 8
DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS
Section 8.1.      Distribution Event . Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, a Participant’s Account shall be distributed, according to his or her distribution election made pursuant to Section 8.2, upon the Participant’s Separation from Service.



Section 8.2.      Annual Election . During the Annual Enrollment Period preceding each calendar year, a Participant may elect the form of distribution with respect to each of the following sub-accounts established for such calendar year:
(a)      Base Salary Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.
(b)      Annual Incentive Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.
(c)      Share Deferrals, as adjusted for gains or losses thereon.
(d)      Other Incentive Compensation Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.
Such election shall be made in such form and manner as the Administrator may prescribe, which may include electronic means. The election shall specify whether distributions shall be made in a single lump sum or from two (2) to ten (10) annual installments. In the absence of a valid distribution election for any given year with respect to a particular subaccount, payment shall be made in a single lump sum. Once the form of distribution is elected with respect to a particular year, such election shall be irrevocable.
Section 8.3.      Manner of Distribution . The Participant’s Account shall be paid in cash in the following manner:
(a)      Lump Sum . With respect to each sub-account for which a Participant has elected to receive a lump sum,
(1)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from January 1 through June 30 of a year, payment shall be made in the first calendar quarter of the following year, and
(2)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from July 1 through December 31 of a year, payment shall be made in the third calendar quarter of the following year.
The lump sum payment shall equal the balance of the sub-account as of the Valuation Date.
(b)      Installments . With respect to each sub-account for which a Participant has elected to receive annual installments, each annual payment shall be made:
(1)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from January 1 through June 30 of a year, in the first calendar quarter of each year, commencing in the calendar year following the year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs; and
(2)
for those Participants whose Separation from Service occurs from July 1 through December 31 of a year, in the third calendar quarter of each year, commencing in the calendar year following the year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service occurs.
The amount of the first annual payment shall equal the value of 1/10 th (or 1/9 th , 1/8 th , 1/7 th , etc. depending on the number of installments elected) of the balance of the sub-account as of the Valuation Date. All subsequent annual payments shall be in an amount equal to the value of 1/9 th (or 1/8 th , 1/7 th ,



1/6 th , etc. depending on the number of installments elected, and the number of installments remaining) of the balance of the sub-account as of the Valuation Date, except that the final annual installment payment shall equal the then remaining balance of such sub-account as of the Valuation Date.
Section 8.4.      Distribution of Remaining Account Following Participant’s Death .
(a)      Payment Upon Death . In the event of the Participant’s death prior to receiving all payments due under this Article 8, the balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid to the Participant’s Beneficiary in a lump sum. If the Participant’s death occurs between January 1 and June 30, payment will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary between July 1 and September 30 of the same year. If the Participant’s death occurs between July 1 and December 31, payment will be made to the Participant’s Beneficiary between January 1 and March 31 of the following year.
(b)      Requirements for Payment . The timing of the payment(s) under Section 8.4(a) is dependent upon the Administrator receiving all information needed to authorize such payment (such as a copy of the Participant’s death certificate). To the extent the Administrator cannot make a payment because it has not received such information, then the Administrator shall make such payment(s) to the Beneficiary as soon as practicable in accordance with Section 8.4(a) after it has received all information necessary to make such payment, provided that such payment(s) due from the date of death through December 31 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death must be completed by such December 31 in order to avoid additional taxes under Code Section 409A.
Section 8.5.      Tax Withholding . The Employer that is liable to make a payment hereunder shall have the right to deduct from any deferral or payment made hereunder, or from any other amount due a Participant, the amount of cash and/or Fair Market Value of Shares sufficient to satisfy the Employer’s foreign, federal, state or local income tax withholding obligations with respect to any amount deferred hereunder, whether at the time of deferral, vesting or payment thereof. In addition, if prior to the date of distribution of any amount hereunder, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax imposed under Code Sections 3101, 3121(a) and 3121(v)(2), where applicable, becomes due, then the Employer may distribute from the Participant’s Account balance the amount needed to pay the Participant’s portion of such tax, plus an amount equal to the withholding taxes due under federal, state or local law resulting from the payment of such FICA tax, and an additional amount to pay the additional income tax at source on wages attributable to the pyramiding of the Code Section 3401 wages and taxes, but no greater than the aggregate of the FICA tax amount and the income tax withholding related to such FICA tax amount. Each Participant shall be responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any benefits under the Plan.
Section 8.6.      Additional Payment Provisions .
(a)      Acceleration of Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(1)
If an amount deferred under this Plan is required to be included in a Participant’s income under Code Section 409A prior to the date such amount is scheduled to be distributed, such Participant shall receive a distribution, in a lump sum within ninety (90) days after the Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, of the amount required to be included in the Participant’s income as a result of such failure.



(2)
If an amount under the Plan is required to be immediately distributed in a lump sum under a domestic relations order in accordance with Section 12.7, then such amount shall be distributed according to the terms of such order.
(b)      Delay in Payment . Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(1)
If a distribution required under the terms of this Plan would jeopardize the ability of the Company or an Affiliate to continue as a going concern, the Company or the Affiliate shall not be required to make such distribution. Rather, the distribution shall be delayed until the first date that making the distribution does not jeopardize the ability of the Company or of an Affiliate to continue as a going concern. Any distribution delayed under this provision shall be treated as made on the date specified under the terms of this Plan.
(2)
If the distribution will violate the terms of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or other Federal securities laws, or any other applicable law, then the distribution shall be delayed until the earliest date on which making the distribution will not violate such law.
Section 8.7.      Effect of Payment . The full payment of the applicable benefit under this Article 8 shall completely discharge all obligations on the part of the Employer to the Participant (and each Beneficiary) with respect to the operation of the Plan, and the Participant’s (and Beneficiary’s) rights under the Plan shall terminate.
Section 8.8.      Cash-Out Payments . Notwithstanding any distribution election made under Section 8.2, if the balance of a Participant’s Account as of any Valuation Date preceding a distribution is $50,000 or less when combined with the balance of the Johnson Controls International plc Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, then the entire remaining balance of the Participant’s Account shall be paid in a lump sum on such distribution date.

ARTICLE 9
SPECIAL RULES APPLICABLE IN THE EVENT OF A
CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY
Section 9.1.      Effect of a Change of Control . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, upon a Change of Control (as defined below in Section 9.2), the Committee may, but shall not be required to, terminate the Plan and distribute to each Participant or Beneficiary his or her Account balance in a lump sum payment as soon as practicable (but not more than ninety (90) days) following the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Committee reasonably anticipates that any such lump sum payment would reduce or eliminate the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s deduction for compensation to a Participant because of the compensation limit imposed under Code Section 162(m), then the Committee may elect to delay payment of such amount in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
Section 9.2.      Definition of a Change of Control . A Change of Control shall have the meaning given in the Company’s equity plan as in effect at the time immediately prior to the Change of Control, provided that such event would also constitute a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A.



Section 9.3.      Maximum Payment Limitation .
(a)      Limit on Payments . Except as provided in subsection (b) below, if any portion of the payments or benefits described in this Plan or under any other agreement with or plan of the Company or an Affiliate (in the aggregate, “Total Payments”), would constitute an “excess parachute payment”, then the Total Payments to be made to the Participant shall be reduced such that the value of the aggregate Total Payments that the Participant is entitled to receive shall be one dollar ($1) less than the maximum amount which the Participant may receive without becoming subject to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or which the Company or an Affiliate may pay without loss of deduction under Section 280G(a) of the Code. The terms “excess parachute payment” and “parachute payment” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Section 280G of the Code, and such “parachute payments” shall be valued as provided therein. Present value shall be calculated in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. Within forty (40) days following delivery of notice by the Employer to the Participant of its belief that there is a payment or benefit due the Participant which will result in an excess parachute payment, the Participant and the Employer, at the Employer’s expense, shall obtain the opinion (which need not be unqualified) of nationally recognized tax counsel selected by the Company’s independent auditors and acceptable to the Participant in his or her sole discretion (which may be regular outside counsel to the Company or an Affiliate), which opinion sets forth (1) the amount of the Base Period Income, (2) the amount and present value of Total Payments and (3) the amount and present value of any excess parachute payments determined without regard to the limitations of this Section. As used in this Section, the term “Base Period Income” means an amount equal to the Participant’s “annualized includible compensation for the base period” as defined in Section 280G(d)(1) of the Code. For purposes of such opinion, the value of any noncash benefits or any deferred payment or benefit shall be determined by the Company’s independent auditors in accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code, which determination shall be evidenced in a certificate of such auditors addressed to the Employer and the Participant. Such opinion shall be addressed to the Employer and the Participant and shall be binding upon the Employer and the Participant. If such opinion determines that there would be an excess parachute payment, the payments hereunder that are includible in Total Payments or any other payment or benefit determined by such counsel to be includible in Total Payments shall be reduced or eliminated so that there will be no excess parachute payment by applying the following principles, in order: (1) the payment or benefit with the higher ratio of the parachute payment value to present economic value (determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions) shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with a lower ratio; (2) the payment or benefit with the later possible payment date shall be reduced or eliminated before a payment or benefit with an earlier payment date; and (3) cash payments shall be reduced prior to non-cash benefits; provided that if the foregoing order of reduction or elimination would violate Section 409A of the Code, then the reduction shall be made pro rata among the payment or benefits (on the basis of the relative present value of the parachute payments). If such legal counsel so requests in connection with the opinion required by this Section, the Participant and the Employer shall obtain, at the Employer’s expense, and the legal counsel may rely on in providing the opinion, the advice of a firm of recognized executive compensation consultants as to the reasonableness of any item of compensation to be received by the Participant. If the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code are repealed without succession, then this Section shall be of no further force or effect.
(b)      Employment Contract Governs . The provisions of subsection (a) above shall not apply to a Participant whose employment is governed by an employment contract that provides for Total Payments in excess of the limitation described in subsection (a) above.




ARTICLE 10
AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION
Section 10.1.      Amendment . The Committee may at any time amend the Plan, including but not limited to modifying the terms and conditions applicable to (or otherwise eliminating) deferrals to be made on or after the Effective Date to the extent not prohibited by Code Section 409A; provided, however , that no amendment may reduce or eliminate any vested Account balance as of the date of such amendment (except as such Account balance may be reduced as a result of investment losses allocable to such Account) without a Participant’s consent except as otherwise specifically provided herein; and provided further that any amendment that is required to be approved by the Board or Company shareholders pursuant to any applicable law or applicable listing requirement of the national securities exchange upon which the Company’s ordinary shares are then traded shall be subject to the Board’s or shareholders’ approval. In addition, the Administrator may at any time amend the Plan to make administrative changes and changes necessary to comply with applicable law.
Section 10.2.      Termination . The Committee may terminate the Plan in accordance with the following provisions. Upon termination of the Plan, any deferral elections then in effect shall be cancelled to the extent permitted by Code Section 409A. Upon termination of the Plan, the Committee may authorize the payment of all amounts accrued under the Plan in a single lump sum payment without regard to any distribution election then in effect, only in the following circumstances:
(a)      The Plan is terminated pursuant to Article 9.
(b)      The Plan is terminated within twelve (12) months of a corporate dissolution taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §503(b)(1)(A). In such event, the single lump sum payment must be distributed by the latest of: (1) the last day of the calendar year in which the Plan termination occurs, (2) the first calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (3) the first calendar year in which payment is administratively practicable.
(c)      The Plan is terminated at any other time, provided that such termination does not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company or an Affiliate, and all other plans required to be aggregated with this Plan under Code Section 409A are also terminated and liquidated. In such event, the single lump sum payment shall be paid no earlier than twelve (12) months (and no later than twenty-four (24) months) after the date of the Plan’s termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment that would otherwise be paid during the twelve (12)-month period beginning on the Plan termination date pursuant to the terms of the Plan shall be paid in accordance with such terms. In addition, the Company or any Affiliate shall be prohibited from adopting a similar arrangement within three (3) years following the date of the Plan’s termination.

Section 11.4.      Review of Decision . After considering all materials presented by the claimant, the Administrator will render a written decision, setting forth the specific reasons for the decision and containing specific references to the relevant provisions of the Plan on which the decision is based, and any other information required by ERISA.

If an extension of time is required for a hearing or other special circumstances, the Administrator shall notify the claimant and the time limit shall be 120 days. All decisions on review shall be final and shall bind all parties concerned.
Section 11.5.      Limitation on Actions . Any action or other legal proceeding with respect to the Plan may be brought only after the claims procedures of this Article 11 are exhausted and only within the period ending on the earlier of (a) one year after the date claimant receives notice or deemed notice of a denial upon review under Section 11.4 or (b) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period



under applicable federal law. Any action or other legal proceeding not adjudicated under ERISA must be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.
Section 11.6.      Arbitration . Notwithstanding any employee agreement in effect between a Participant and the Employer, if a Participant or Beneficiary brings a claim that relates to benefits under this Plan that is not covered under ERISA, and regardless of the basis of the claim (including but not limited to, actions under Title VII, wrongful discharge, breach of employment agreement, etc.), such claim shall be settled by final binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Arbitration must be initiated by serving or mailing a written notice of the complaint to the other party.

However, this time frame may be extended if the applicable statute of limitation provides for a longer period of time. If the complaint is not properly submitted within the appropriate time frame, all rights and claims that the complaining party has or may have against the other party shall be waived and void.

ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1.      Protective Provisions . Each Participant and Beneficiary shall cooperate with the Administrator by furnishing any and all information requested by the Administrator in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder.

Section 12.2.      Designation of Beneficiary . Each Participant may designate in writing a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries (which Beneficiary may be an entity other than a natural person if approved by the Administrator in its sole discretion) to receive any payments which may be made under the Plan following the Participant’s death.

Such designation may be changed or canceled by the Participant at any time without the consent of any such Beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be made in a form approved by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator or its designee prior to the date of the Participant’s death. If no Beneficiary has been named, or the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries shall have predeceased the Participant, then the Beneficiary shall be the Participant’s estate. If a Participant designates more than one Beneficiary, the interests of such Beneficiaries shall be paid in equal shares, unless the Participant has specifically designated otherwise. If the Beneficiary survives the Participant, but dies before receipt of payment hereunder, the Beneficiary’s estate shall be entitled to the Beneficiary’s share of the payment.
Section 12.3.      Inability to Locate Participant or Beneficiary . In the event that the Administrator is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the date the Participant or Beneficiary was to commence receiving payment, the entire amount allocated to the Participant’s Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings from the date payment was to



commence pursuant to Article 6, and the Participant or Beneficiary shall be responsible for all taxes and penalties under Code Section 409A.
Section 12.4.      No Contract of Employment . Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor any modification thereof, nor the creation of any fund, trust or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving any Participant or any person whosoever, the right to be retained in the service of the Company or any Affiliate, and all Participants and other employees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent as if the Plan had never been adopted.
Section 12.5.      Obligations to Company . If a Participant becomes entitled to payment of benefits under the Plan, and if at such time the Participant has any outstanding debt, obligation, or other liability representing an amount owing to the Company or any Employer, then the Company or the Employer may offset such amount owed to it against the amount of benefits otherwise distributed; provided, however , that such deductions cannot exceed $5,000 in the aggregate to the extent needed to comply with Code Section 409A.
Section 12.6.      No Liability; Indemnification . Neither the Company or any of its Affiliates, nor any director, officer or employee of the Company or its Affiliates shall be responsible or liable in any manner to any Participant, Beneficiary or any person claiming through them for any benefit or action taken or omitted in connection with the granting of benefits, the continuation of benefits, or the interpretation and administration of Plan. Service on the Committee or as an Administrator shall constitute service as a director or officer of the Company so that the Committee and Administrator members shall be entitled to indemnification, limitation of liability and reimbursement of expenses with respect to their Committee or Administrator services to the same extent that they are entitled under the Company’s charter documents and applicable law for their services as directors or officers of the Company.
Section 12.7.      Nonalienation of Benefits; Domestic Relations Orders . Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all amounts payable hereunder shall be paid only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant’s Account shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall such accounts of a Participant be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Administrator, in its discretion, may cancel such payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Administrator shall direct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant’s Account may be awarded to an “alternate payee” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(K) of ERISA) if and to the extent so provided in a judgment, decree or order that, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, would meet the applicable requirements for qualification as a “qualified domestic relations order” (within the meaning of Section 206(d)(3)(B)(i) of ERISA) if the Plan were subject to the provisions of Section 206(d) of ERISA. Such amounts shall be payable to the alternate payee in the form of a lump sum distribution and shall be paid within ninety (90) days following the Administrator’s determination that the order satisfies the requirements to be a “qualified domestic relations order.”
Section 12.8.      Liability for Benefit Payments . The obligation to pay or provide for payment of a benefit hereunder to any Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall be the sole and exclusive



liability and responsibility of the Employer which employed the Participant during the period allocations were made to the participant’s Account. No other Company or parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company shall be liable or responsible for such payment, and nothing in the Plan shall be construed as creating or imposing any joint or shared liability for any such payment. The fact that a Company or a parent, affiliated, subsidiary or associated company other than the Employer actually makes one or more payments to a Participant or his or her Beneficiary shall not be deemed a waiver of this provision; rather, any such payment shall be deemed to have been made on behalf of and for the account of the Employer.
Section 12.9.      Unfunded Status of Plan . The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” deferred compensation plan for Participants, with all benefits payable hereunder constituting an unfunded contractual payment obligation of the Employer and the Company. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind. The Company or Employer shall reflect on its books the Participants’ interests hereunder, but no Participant or any other person shall under any circumstances acquire any property interest in any specific assets of the Company or Employer. Nothing contained in the Plan and no action taken pursuant hereto shall create or be construed to create a fiduciary relationship between the Company, an Employer, and any Participant or other person. A Participant’s right to receive payments under the Plan shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company or Employer. Except to the extent that the Company or Employer determines that a “rabbi” trust may be established in connection with the Plan, all payments shall be made from the general funds of the Company or Employer, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment. The Company’s or Employer’s obligations under the Plan are not assignable or transferable except to (a) any corporation or partnership which acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s or Employer’s assets or (b) any corporation or partnership into which the Company or Employer may be merged or consolidated. The provisions of the Plan shall inure to the benefit of each Participant and the Participant’s Beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or successors in interest.
Section 12.10.      Governing Law . The Plan shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin to the extent not superseded by federal law, without reference to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
Section 12.11.      Successors . All obligations of the Employer and the Company under the Plan shall be binding on any successor thereto, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company or the Employer.
Section 12.12.      Severability of Provisions . If any provision of the Plan shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such provisions had not been included.
Section 12.13.      Headings and Captions . The headings and captions herein are provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
Section 12.14.      Gender; Singular and Plural . All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, as the identity of the person or persons may require. As the context may require, the singular may read as the plural and the plural as the singular.
Section 12.15.      Notice . Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given under the Plan shall be sufficient if in writing and hand delivered, or sent by registered or certified mail, to (a) except as



provided in Section 8.6, the Company’s headquarters, with attention to the Secretary of the Company, if the notice or filing is to be made to the Administrator, Committee, Company, or Employer or (b) the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s address on file with the Employer, if the notice or filing is to be made to such individual. Such notice shall be deemed given as of the date of delivery, or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark on the receipt for registration or certification.
Section 12.16.      Administrative Error Correction . The Administrator may permit an Administrative Error (as defined below) to be corrected by allowing a Participant’s deferral election to be processed as soon as practicable after December 31 (and any related payroll discrepancy to be corrected) to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A. “Administrative Error” shall mean (a) an error by a Participant to file a deferral election with the Administrator, following a good faith attempt, or (b) the failure of the Administrator to properly process a Participant’s deferral election.
Section 12.17.      Delay of Payment for Specified Employees . Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the case of any Participant who is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A as of the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service, no distribution under the Plan may be made, or may commence, before the date which is six months after the date of such Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).
