(c)                                   No fractional shares will be distributed or credited to book-entry accounts in connection with the Distribution, and any such fractional shares interests to which a Record Holder would otherwise be entitled shall not entitle such Record Holder to vote or to any other rights as a stockholder of Adient.  In lieu of any such fractional shares, each Record Holder who,

35

but for the provisions of this Section 3.4(c) , would be entitled to receive a fractional share interest of a n Adient Share pursuant to the Distribution, shall be paid cash, without any interest thereon, as hereinafter provided.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Johnson Controls shall direct the Agent to determine the number of whole and fractional Adient Shares allocable to each Record Holder, to aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares, and to sell the whole shares obtained thereby in the open market at the then-prevailing prices on behalf of each Record Holder who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional share interests (with the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, determining when, how and through which broker-dealer and at what price to make such sales), and to cause to be distributed to each such Record Holder, in lieu of any fractional share, such Record Holder’s or owner’s ratable share of the total proceeds of such sale, after deducting any Taxes required to be withheld and applicable transfer Taxes, and after deducting the costs and expenses of such sale and distribution, including brokers fees and commissions.  None of Johnson Controls, Adient or the Agent will be required to guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional Adient Shares sold in accordance with this Section  3.4(c) .  Neither Johnson Controls nor Adient will be required to pay any interest on the proceeds from the sale of fractional shares.  Neither the Agent nor the broker-dealers through which the aggregated fractional shares are sold shall be Affiliates of Johnson Controls or Adient.  Solely for purposes of computing fractional share interests pursuant to this Section  3.4(c)  and Section 3.4(d) , the beneficial owner of Johnson Controls Shares held of record in the name of a nominee in any nominee account shall be treated as the Record Holder with respect to such shares.

(d)                                  Any Adient Shares or cash in lieu of Adient Shares (or fractions thereof) that remain unclaimed by any Record Holder one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Distribution Date shall be delivered to Adient, and Adient shall hold such Adient Shares for the account of such Record Holder, and the Parties agree that all obligations to provide such Adient Shares and cash, if any, in lieu of Adient Shares (or fractions thereof) shall be obligations of Adient, subject in each case to applicable escheat or other abandoned property Laws, and Johnson Controls shall have no Liability with respect thereto.

(e)                                   Until the Adient Shares are duly delivered in accordance with this Section 3.4 and applicable Law, from and after the Effective Time, Adient will regard the Persons entitled to receive such Adient Shares as record holders of Adient Shares in accordance with the terms of the Distribution without requiring any action on the part of such Persons.  Adient agrees that, subject to any transfers of such shares, from and after the Effective Time (i) each such holder will be entitled to receive all dividends payable on, and exercise voting rights and all other rights and privileges with respect to, the Adient Shares then held by such holder, and (ii) each such holder will be entitled, without any action on the part of such holder, to receive evidence of ownership in book-entry form of the Adient Shares then held by such holder.

(f)                                    At or prior to the Effective Time, Adient shall acquire and cancel, for no consideration, the Initial Share Capital.

(iv)                               any Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise for claims brought against the Parties by third Persons, which Liability shall be governed by the provisions of this Article IV and Article V and, if applicable, the appropriate provisions of the Ancillary Agreements; or

(v)                                  any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 4.1 .

In addition, nothing contained in Section 4.1(a)  shall release any member of the Johnson Controls Group from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of Adient who was a director, officer or employee of any member of the Johnson Controls Group on or prior to the Effective Time, to the extent such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any Action with respect to which such director, officer or employee was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to such existing obligations; it being understood that, if the underlying obligation giving rise to such Action is an Adient Liability, Adient shall indemnify Johnson Controls for such Liability (including Johnson Controls’ costs to indemnify the director, officer or employee) in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article IV .

(d)                                  No Claims.  Adient shall not make, and shall not permit any member of the Adient Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Johnson Controls or

(c)                                   any breach by Adient or any other member of the Adient Group of this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (other than the Transition Services Agreement);

4.4                                Indemnification Obligations Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Amounts .

(a)                                  The Parties intend that any Liability subject to indemnification, contribution or reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V will be net of Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of any indemnifiable Liability.  Accordingly, the amount that either Party (an “ Indemnifying Party ”) is required to pay to any Person entitled to indemnification or contribution hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”) will be reduced by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) from any Person by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party in respect of the related Liability.  If an Indemnified Party receives a payment (an “ Indemnity Payment ”) required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Liability and subsequently receives Insurance Proceeds or any other amounts in respect of the same Liability, then the

40

Indemnified Party will pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the excess of the Indemnity Payment received over the amount of the Indemnity Payment that would have been due if the Insurance Proceeds or such other amounts (net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof) had been received, realized or recovered before the Indemnity Payment was made.

(b)                                  It is expressly agreed and understood that all rights to indemnification, contribution and reimbursement pursuant to this Article IV or Article V are in excess of all available insurance.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that an insurer that would otherwise be obligated to pay any claim shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto or, solely by virtue of any provision contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood that no insurer or any other Third Party shall be entitled to a “windfall” ( i.e. , a benefit they would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the Liability allocation, indemnification and contribution provisions hereof.  Accordingly, any provision herein that could have the result of giving any insurer or other Third Party such a “windfall” shall be suspended or amended to the extent necessary to not provide such “windfall.”  Each Party shall, and shall cause the members of its Group to, use commercially reasonable efforts (taking into account the probability of success on the merits and the cost of expending such efforts, including attorney’s fees and expenses) to collect or recover, or allow the Indemnifying Party to collect or recover, any Insurance Proceeds that may be collectible or recoverable respecting the Liabilities for which indemnification or contribution may be available under this Article IV .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party may not delay making any indemnification payment required under the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise satisfying any indemnification obligation, pending the outcome of any Action to collect or recover Insurance Proceeds, and an Indemnified Party need not attempt to collect any Insurance Proceeds prior to making a claim for indemnification or contribution or receiving any Indemnity Payment otherwise owed to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

4.5                                Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims .

(a)                                  Notice of Claims.  If, at or after the date of this Agreement, an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Johnson Controls Group or the Adient Group of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action (collectively, a “ Third-Party Claim ”) with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 , or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party written notice thereof as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim (or sooner if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires).  Any such notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, including, to the extent set forth in or readily apparent from the notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party, the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of an Indemnified Party to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a)  shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under

41

this Agreement, except to the extent to which the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to provide notice in accordance with this Section 4.5(a) .

(b)                                  Control of Defense.  An Indemnifying Party may elect to control the defense of (and seek to settle or compromise), at its own expense and with its own counsel, any Third-Party Claim; provided , that, prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming and controlling defense of such Third-Party Claim, it shall first confirm to the Indemnified Party in writing that, assuming the facts presented to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party being true, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for any such damages to the extent resulting from, or arising out of, such Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense and, in the course of defending such Third-Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party discovers that the facts presented at the time the Indemnifying Party acknowledged its indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim were not true or that such facts, while true in all material respects, do not form the basis upon which such Third-Party Claim is predicated ( e.g. , as a result of the allegations made in such Third-Party Claim changing over time) and (ii) such untruth or change provides a reasonable basis for asserting that the Indemnifying Party does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim, then (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be bound by such acknowledgment, (B) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly thereafter provide the Indemnified Party written notice of its assertion that it does not have an indemnification obligation in respect of such Third-Party Claim (giving the reasons therefor) and (C) the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 4.5(a)  (or sooner, if the nature of the Third-Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnified Party indicating whether the Indemnifying Party shall assume responsibility for defending the Third-Party Claim.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 4.5(a) , then the Indemnified Party that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim shall be entitled to continue to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c)                                   Allocation of Defense Costs .  If an Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, then such Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for all fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall not be entitled to seek any indemnification or reimbursement from the Indemnified Party for any such fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party during the course of the defense of such Third-Party Claim by such Indemnifying Party, regardless of any subsequent decision by the Indemnifying Party to reject or otherwise abandon its assumption of such defense.  If an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending any Third-Party Claim or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election within thirty (30) days after receipt of a notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in Section 4.5(a) , and the Indemnified Party conducts and controls the defense of such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

42

(d)                                  Right to Monitor and Participate.  An Indemnified Party that does not conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, or an Indemnifying Party that has failed to elect to defend any Third-Party Claim as contemplated hereby, nevertheless shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) of its own choosing to monitor and participate in (but not control) the defense of any Third-Party Claim for which it is a potential Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party or non-controlling Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.5(c)  shall not apply to such fees and expenses.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to Sections 6.7 and 6.8 , such Party shall cooperate with the Party entitled to conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim in such defense and make available to the controlling Party all witnesses, information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by the controlling Party (with the reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such cooperation being at the expense of the non-controlling party).  In addition to the foregoing, if any Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party have actual or potential differing defenses or conflicts of interest between them that make joint representation inappropriate, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel as necessary) and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees and expenses of one such counsel and local counsel (as appropriate) for all Indemnified Parties.

(e)                                   No Settlement.  Neither Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement or compromise is solely for monetary damages, does not involve any finding or determination of wrongdoing or violation of Law by the other Party and provides for a full, unconditional and irrevocable release of the other Party from all Liability in connection with the Third-Party Claim.  The Parties hereby agree that if a Party presents the other Party with a written notice containing a proposal to settle or compromise a Third-Party Claim for which either Party is seeking to be indemnified hereunder and the Party receiving such proposal does not respond in any manner to the Party presenting such proposal within thirty (30) days (or within any such shorter time period that may be required by applicable Law or court order) of receipt of such proposal, then the Party receiving such proposal shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such proposal.

(f)                                    Reporting .  An Indemnifying Party shall provide the Indemnified Party with a monthly written report identifying any Third-Party Claims that such Indemnifying Party has elected to defend pursuant to Section 4.5(b) .  In addition, the Indemnifying Party shall establish a procedure reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to automatically send electronic notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party through the litigation management system or any successor system when any such Third-Party Claim is closed, regardless of whether such Third-Party Claim was decided by settlement, verdict, dismissal or was otherwise disposed of.

43

4.6                                Additional Matters .

(a)                                  Timing of Payments.  Indemnification or contribution payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV shall be paid reasonably promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the amount that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article IV ) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification or contribution payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities.  The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Article IV shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnified Party of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b)                                  Notice of Direct Claims.  Any claim for indemnification or contribution under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the applicable Indemnifying Party; provided , that the failure by an Indemnified Party to so assert any such claim shall not prejudice the ability of the Indemnified Party to do so at a later time except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby.  Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such specified claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 4.6(b)  or, in the case of any written notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of the claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.  If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, such Indemnified Party shall, subject to the provisions of Article VII , be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, as applicable, without prejudice to its continuing rights to pursue indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(c)                                   Pursuit of Claims Against Third Parties.  If (i) a Party incurs any Liability arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (ii) an adequate legal or equitable remedy is not available for any reason against the other Party to satisfy the Liability incurred by the incurring Party; and (iii) a legal or equitable remedy may be available to the other Party against a Third Party for such Liability, then the other Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the incurring Party, at the incurring Party’s expense, to permit the incurring Party to obtain the benefits of such legal or equitable remedy against the Third Party.

(d)                                  Subrogation.  In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such

44

Third-Party Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

(e)                                   Substitution.  In the event of an Action for which a Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party shall so request, the Parties shall endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant.  If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the named defendant shall allow the Indemnifying Party to manage the Action as set forth in Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6 , and the Indemnifying Party shall fully indemnify the named defendant in accordance with the other provisions of this this Article IV .

4.7                                Right of Contribution .

ARTICLE V
CERTAIN OTHER MATTERS

5.1                                Insurance Matters .

(a)                                  Johnson Controls and Adient agree to cooperate in good faith regarding Insurance Administration to provide for an orderly transition from the date hereof through the Effective Time.  In no event shall Johnson Controls, any other member of the Johnson Controls Group or any Johnson Controls Indemnified Party have Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the Adient Group in the event that any insurance policy or other contract of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or

46

inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the Adient Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date of any such insurance policy or other contract of insurance.

(b)                                  From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts, circumstances, losses, damages and Liabilities which occurred or are alleged to have occurred, or were incurred or claimed to have been incurred, by any member of the Adient Group prior to the Effective Time, Johnson Controls will provide Adient with access to, and Adient may, upon prior written notice to Johnson Controls, make claims under, (1) Johnson Controls’ third-party excess casualty insurance policies that are “occurrence based” insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and Johnson Controls’ historical excess casualty policies of insurance that are “occurrence based” insurance policies (“ Excess Casualty Policies ”), (2) Johnson Controls’ international casualty insurance policies that are “occurrence based” insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and Johnson Controls’ historical international casualty policies of insurance that are “occurrence based” insurance policies, including any such policies that are underwritten by Global Risk Underwriters Ltd. during the period commencing October 1, 2006 and ending on the Distribution Date (“ International Casualty Policies ”) and (3) Johnson Controls’ third-party insurance policies that are “claims made” insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and Johnson Controls’ historical policies of insurance that are “claims made” insurance policies (“ Claims Made Policies ”), but in each case of clauses (1), (2) and (3), solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for members of the Adient Group prior to the Effective Time and pursuant to the Insurance Administration procedures to be mutually agreed in writing between Johnson Controls and Adient (the “ Insurance Administration Procedures ,” which shall be legally binding upon the Parties, once agreed); provided , that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any restrictions on coverage or scope, any deductibles, retentions or self-insurance provision, and any fees, costs, or other expenses, and shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(i)                                      Adient shall report any claim to Johnson Controls, as promptly as practicable and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with Johnson Controls’ claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by Johnson Controls to Adient in writing);

(ii)                                   Adient and the members of the Adient Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse Johnson Controls and the members of the Johnson Controls Group for any deductible, self-insured retention, fees and expenses incurred by Johnson Controls or any members of the Johnson Controls Group to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by Adient or any other members of the Adient Group under any insurance provided pursuant to Excess Casualty Policies and Claims Made Policies, including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by Adient, its employees or third Persons;

47

(iii)                                Adient shall exclusively bear (and neither Johnson Controls nor any members of the Johnson Controls Group shall have any obligation to repay or reimburse Adient or any member of the Adient Group for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by Adient or any member of the Adient Group under the policies as provided for in this Section 5.1(b) .  In the event an insurance policy/program aggregate limit is exhausted, or believed likely to be exhausted, due to noticed claims, the Adient Group, on the one hand, and the Johnson Controls Group, on the other hand, shall be responsible for their pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium, based upon the losses of such Group submitted to Johnson Controls’ insurance carrier(s) (including any submissions prior to the Effective Time) that exhausted the applicable fiscal year’s policy/program aggregate limit.  To the extent that the Johnson Controls Group or the Adient Group is allocated more than its pro rata portion of such premium due to the timing of losses submitted to Johnson Controls’ insurance carrier(s), the other party shall promptly pay the first party an amount so that each Group has been properly allocated its pro rata portion of the reinstatement premium.  Johnson Controls and Adient can mutually agree not to reinstate the policy/program aggregate limit and, in such event, each Group will bear all of its own future losses;

(iv)                               Claims made by Adient under the Excess Casualty Policies, International Casualty Policies and Claims Made Policies will be subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles, and claims made by Adient under the Claims Made Policies will be subject to (and recovery thereon will be reduced by the amount of) any applicable retentions or self-insurance provisions.  With respect to any deductibles, retentions or self-insurance provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence that require a payment by a member of the Johnson Controls Group, Adient shall reimburse the applicable member of the Johnson Controls Group for its pro rata portion of such payment based on the Adient Group’s interest in such claim.  It is understood that the Claims Made Policies may not provide any coverage to the Adient Group for incidents occurring prior to the Effective Time but that are asserted with the insurance carrier after the Effective Time; and

(v)                                  To the extent that an annual retrospective adjustment by a Johnson Controls insurance carrier results from a claim made by Adient or related to the Adient Business and such adjustment causes the premium paid or payable by a member of the Johnson Controls Group to such insurance carrier to increase by more than the Premium Threshold, then Johnson Controls shall promptly notify Adient of such increase.  If either Johnson Controls or Adient determine that it is appropriate to request that the Johnson Controls insurance carrier reconsider the adjustment amount or the premium calculation, then subject to Section 5.1(d) , the Parties shall cooperate in good faith and assist each other in making such request and engaging in discussions with the Johnson Controls insurance carrier.  After the final determination of the premium calculation, or if neither Johnson Controls nor Adient makes a request in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then Adient shall reimburse the applicable member of the Johnson Controls Group for the excess of any increase over the Premium Threshold.  The “ Premium Threshold ” shall equal an amount to be mutually agreed in writing by Johnson Controls and Adient and set forth in the Insurance Administration Procedures.

48

In the event that any member of the Johnson Controls Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the Johnson Controls Group is entitled to coverage under Adient’s insurance policies (if any), the same process pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)  shall apply, substituting “Johnson Controls” for “Adient,” “Adient” for “Johnson Controls” and “the applicable insurer” for “Global Risk Underwriters Ltd.”

(c)                                   Except as provided in Section 5.1(b)  and except for the insurance programs set forth on Schedule 5.1(c) , from and after the Effective Time, neither Adient nor any member of the Adient Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance programs of Johnson Controls or any other member of the Johnson Controls Group.  At the Effective Time, Adient shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with Adient’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies as reasonably necessary or customary for companies operating a business similar to Adient’s.  Such insurance programs may include general liability, commercial auto liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, product liability, professional services liability, property, cargo, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability.  Johnson Controls and Adient shall cooperate in good faith to apportion any collateral accountability supporting pre-Effective Time insurance programs of Johnson Controls or any other member of the Johnson Controls Group pursuant to the Insurance Administration Procedures.

(d)                                  Adient and the other members of the Adient Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group pursuant to this Section 5.1 , shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action (other than the act of making the claim) that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand; (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group under the applicable insurance policy.  Johnson Controls and the other members of the Johnson Controls Group, in connection with Insurance Administration on behalf of Adient or any member of the Adient Group under any insurance policy or program of Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group pursuant to this Section 5.1 , shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid taking any action (other than the act of making the claim) that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between Adient or any member of the Adient Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand, (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or reducing coverage, or increasing the amount of any premium owed by Adient or any member of the Adient Group under the applicable insurance policy; or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of Adient or any member of the Adient Group under the applicable insurance policy, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), if such insurance company is also an insurer of Adient or any member of the Adient Group.

(e)                                   All payments and reimbursements by Johnson Controls or Adient pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within thirty (30) days after Johnson Controls’ receipt or

49

Adient’s receipt, as applicable, of an invoice therefor from Adient or Johnson Controls, as applicable.  If either Party incurs costs to enforce the other Party’s obligations herein, such Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless such other Party for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Except as mutually agreed and set forth in the Insurance Administration Procedures, Johnson Controls shall retain responsibility for and have the exclusive right to control Insurance Administration and any and all other rights with respect to its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any Adient Liabilities and/or claims Adient has made or could make in the future.  No member of the Adient Group shall, without the prior written consent of Johnson Controls, erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buyback or otherwise resolve disputes with Johnson Controls’ insurers with respect to any of Johnson Controls’ insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs.  Adient shall cooperate with Johnson Controls and share such information as is reasonably necessary in order to permit Johnson Controls to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate.  Neither Johnson Controls nor any of the members of the Johnson Controls Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any insurance policies for any acts or omissions by any member of the Adient Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

(f)                                    Johnson Controls shall, and shall cause the members of the Johnson Controls Group to, (i) use commercially reasonable efforts, at Adient’s reasonable request (and provided that Adient complies with the requirements of Section  5.1(b) ), to assist Adient in making claims under the Johnson Controls insurance programs described in Section  5.1(b)  and Schedule 5.1(c) , (ii) notify Adient within a commercially reasonable period of time after any election by Johnson Controls to control any claim under an Johnson Controls insurance policy or program to the extent such claim relates to the Adient Asset and/or Adient Liability, (iii) within a commercially reasonable period of time after Johnson Controls’ receipt thereof, pay over to Adient or the applicable member of the Adient Group any Insurance Proceeds that are received by Johnson Controls or any member of the Johnson Controls Group in respect of such claims and (iv) otherwise perform Insurance Administration on behalf of Adient and the other members of the Adient Group, as described in this Section  5.1(b) , using a standard of care consistent with the standard that Johnson Controls and the applicable members of the Johnson Controls Group use when performing Insurance Administration on behalf of Johnson Controls and the other members of the Johnson Controls Group.

(g)                                   This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Johnson Controls Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

5.2                                Late Payments .  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, any amount not paid when due pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable that are not paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of such bill,

invoice or other demand) shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two (2%) percent, compounded semiannually, from such due date to the date paid.

5.3                                Treatment of Payments for Tax Purposes .  For all tax purposes, the Parties agree to treat (i) any payment required by this Agreement (other than payments with respect to interest accruing after the Effective Time) as either a contribution by Johnson Controls to Adient or a distribution by Adient to Johnson Controls, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Effective Time or as a payment of an assumed or retained Liability; and (ii) any payment of interest as taxable or deductible, as the case may be, to the Party entitled under this Agreement to retain such payment or required under this Agreement to make such payment, in either case except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

5.4                                Inducement .  Adient acknowledges and agrees that Johnson Controls’ willingness to cause, effect and consummate the Separation and the Distribution has been conditioned upon and induced by Adient’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including Adient’s assumption of the Adient Liabilities pursuant to the Separation and the provisions of this Agreement and Adient’s covenants and agreements contained in Article IV .

5.5                                Post-Effective Time Conduct .  The Parties acknowledge that, after the Effective Time, each Party shall be independent of the other Party, with responsibility for its own actions and inactions and its own Liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of its business, operations and activities after the Effective Time, except as may otherwise be provided in any Ancillary Agreement, and each Party shall (except as otherwise provided in Article IV ) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent such Liabilities from being inappropriately borne by the other Party

53

connection with any Action , and the defense, settlement or compromise, prosecution, evaluation or pursuit thereof, in which the requesting Party (or member of its Group) may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder.  The requesting Party shall bear all costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b)                                  If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, as the case may be.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions.

(b)                                  The Parties agree as follows:

(i)                                      Johnson Controls shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Johnson Controls Business and not to the Adient Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Johnson Controls Group or any member of the Adient Group.  Johnson Controls shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Johnson Controls Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the Privileged Information

54

is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Johnson Controls Group or any member of the Adient Group; and

(ii)                                   Adient shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to the Adient Business and not to the Johnson Controls Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Adient Group or any member of the Johnson Controls Group.  Adient shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any Privileged Information that relates solely to any Adient Liabilities resulting from any Actions that are now pending or may be asserted in the future, whether or not the privileged Information is in the possession or under the control of any member of the Adient Group or any member of the Johnson Controls Group.

(iii)                                If the Parties do not agree as to whether certain information is Privileged Information, then such information shall be treated as Privileged Information, and the Party that believes that such information is Privileged Information shall be entitled to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges and immunities in connection with any such information until such time as it is finally judicially determined that such information is not Privileged Information or unless the Parties otherwise agree.  The Parties shall use the procedures set forth in Article VII to resolve any disputes as to whether any information relates solely to the Johnson Controls Business, solely to the Adient Business, or to both the Johnson Controls Business and the Adient Business.

(c)                                   Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 6.8 , the Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or immunity with respect to all privileges and immunities not allocated pursuant to Section 6.8(b)   and all privileges and immunities relating to any Actions or other matters that involve both Parties (or one or more members of their respective Groups) and in respect of which both Parties have Liabilities under this Agreement, and that no such shared privilege or immunity may be waived by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.

(e)                                   Subject to Section 6.9 , In the event of any adversarial Action or Dispute between Johnson Controls and Adient, or any members of their respective Groups, either Party may waive a privilege in which the other Party or member of such other Party’s Group has a shared privilege, without obtaining consent pursuant to Section 6.8(c) ; provided that such waiver of a shared privilege shall be effective only as to the use of information with respect to the

(h)                                  In connection with any matter contemplated by Section 6.7 or this Section 6.8 , the Parties agree to, and to cause the applicable members of their Group to, use reasonable efforts to maintain their respective separate and joint privileges and immunities, including by executing joint defense and/or common interest agreements where necessary or useful for this purpose.

(b)                                  No Release; Return or Destruction.  Each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any information addressed in Section 6.9(a)  to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to know such information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of their obligations hereunder with respect to such information), and except in compliance with Section 6.10 .  Without limiting the foregoing, when any such information is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each Party will promptly after request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided , that such Party’s Representatives may retain one (1) copy of such information to the extent required by applicable Law or professional standards, and shall not be required to destroy any such information located in back-up, archival electronic storage.

57

the confidential and proprietary information of, or personal information relating to, Third Parties in accordance with privacy, data protection or other applicable Laws and the terms of any agreements that were either entered into before the Effective Time or affirmative commitments or representations that were made before the Effective Time by, between or among the other Party or members of the other Party’s Group, on the one hand, and such Third Parties, on the other hand.

(d)                                  Residual Information .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party and the members of such Party’s Group shall be free to use for any purpose the Residual Information resulting from access Representatives of such Party or the members of its Group have had to confidential and proprietary information concerning the other Party or any member of the other Party’s Group.  The Parties acknowledge and understand that the foregoing does not constitute a license under any Patents or copyrights.

6.10                         Protective Arrangements .  In the event that a Party or any member of its Group either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any information pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any member of the other Party’s Group) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circumstances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party.  In the event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

ARTICLE VII
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1                                Good - Faith Negotiation .  Subject to Section 7.4 , either Party seeking resolution of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Ancillary Agreement (including regarding whether any Assets are Adient Assets, any Liabilities are Adient Liabilities or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement) (a “ Dispute ”) that cannot be resolved by the Transition Committee, shall provide written notice thereof to the other Party (the “ Initial Notice ”), and within thirty (30) days of the delivery of the Initial Notice, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute.  The negotiations shall be conducted by executives who hold, at a minimum, the title of executive vice president (or an equivalent title for an executive officer) and who have authority to settle the Dispute.  All such negotiations shall be confidential without prejudice and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.  If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within

58

thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, or if a Party reasonably concludes that the other Party is not willing to negotiate as contemplated by the preceding sentences of this Section 7.1 , the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 7.2 .

7.2                                Mediation .  Any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.1 shall, at the written request of a Party (a “ Mediation Request ”), be submitted to nonbinding mediation in accordance with the then current JAMS International Mediation Rules (the “ Mediation Rules ”), except as modified herein.  The mediation shall be held in (i) Milwaukee, Wisconsin or (ii) such other place as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.  The Parties shall have twenty (20) days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, to agree on a mediator.  If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties during such period, then a Party may request (on written notice to the other Party) that JAMS appoint a mediator in accordance with the Mediation Rules.  All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings.  No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party, except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange.  Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests.  If the Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator, or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with Section 7.3 .

7.3                                Arbitration .

(a)                                  In the event that a Dispute has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the appointment of a mediator in accordance with Section 7.2 , or within ninety (90) days after receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then such Dispute shall, upon the written request of a Party (an “ Arbitration Request ”) be submitted to be finally resolved by binding arbitration pursuant to the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American  Arbitration Association (the “ Arbitration Rules ”).  The arbitration shall be held in the same location as the mediation pursuant to Section 7.2 or such other location as the Parties may mutually agree in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, any Dispute to be decided pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be decided by binding arbitration (i) before a sole arbitrator if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals less than $10 million; or (ii) by a panel of three (3) arbitrators if the amount in dispute, inclusive of all claims and counterclaims, totals $10 million or more.

59

(b)                                  The panel of three (3) arbitrators will be chosen as follows:  (i) within fifteen (15) days from the date of the receipt of the Arbitration Request, each Party will name an arbitrator who shall have experience as a former federal or state court judge and shall have such other qualifications as the Parties may mutually agree from time to time; and (ii) the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators will thereafter, within thirty (30) days from the date on which the second of the two (2) arbitrators was named, name a third, independent arbitrator who will act as chairperson of the arbitral tribunal.  In the event that either Party fails to name an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request, then upon written application by either Party, that arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.  In the event that the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators fail to appoint the third, then the third, independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules.  If the arbitration will be before a sole independent arbitrator, then the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed by agreement of the Parties within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of the Arbitration Request.  If the Parties cannot agree to a sole independent arbitrator, then upon written application by either party, the sole independent arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the Arbitration Rules; provided , that the arbitrator shall have experience as a former federal or state court judge and shall have such other qualifications as the Parties may mutually agree from time to time.

(c)                                   The arbitrator(s) will have the right to award, on an interim basis, or include in the final award, any relief which it deems proper in the circumstances, including money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the due date), injunctive relief (including specific performance) and an award of attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing Party (after considering all the claims and circumstances); provided that the arbitrator(s) will not award any relief not specifically requested by the parties and, in any event, will not award any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of compensatory damages of the other (including lost profits or lost revenues) arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any such Liability to the extent awarded to a Third Party with respect to a Third-Party Claim).  Upon selection of the arbitrator(s) following any grant of interim relief by a special arbitrator or court pursuant to Section 7.4 , the arbitrator(s) may affirm or disaffirm that relief, and the parties will seek modification or rescission of the order entered by the court as necessary to accord with the decision of the arbitrator(s).  The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the Parties, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The initiation of mediation or arbitration pursuant to this Article VII will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such proceedings.  The Parties shall share equally the administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration.

7.4                                Litigation and Unilateral Commencement of Arbitration .  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VII , (a) a Party may (i) seek preliminary provisional or injunctive judicial relief with respect to a Dispute without first complying with the procedures set forth in Sections 7.1 , 7.2 and 7.3 if such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable harm and (b) either Party may initiate arbitration before the expiration of the periods specified in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 if (i) such action is reasonably necessary to avoid irreparable harm or (ii) such Party has submitted a Mediation Request or Arbitration Request, as applicable, (A) and the other Party has failed, within the applicable periods set forth in Section 7.2 , to agree upon a date for the first mediation session to take place within thirty (30) days after the appointment of such mediator or such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing or (B) such Party has failed

60

to comply with Section 7.3 in good faith with respect to commencement and engagement in arbitration.  In such event, the other Party may commence and prosecute such arbitration unilaterally in accordance with the Arbitration Rules.  Immediately following the issuance of any preliminary provisional or injunctive relief pursuant to clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Party seeking such relief will consent to the stay of any judicial proceedings pending the resolution of the Dispute pursuant to the procedures set forth in Sections 7.1 , 7.2 and 7.3 .

7.5                                Conduct During Dispute Resolution Process .  Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective members of their Group to, continue to honor all commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement to the extent required by such agreements during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII , unless such commitments are the specific subject of the Dispute at issue.

10.8                         No Set-Off .  Except as set forth in any Ancillary Agreement or as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, neither Party nor any member of such Party’s group shall have any right of set-off or other similar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (b) any other

66

amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any member of its Group arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

10.9        Publicity .  Prior to the Effective Time, each of Adient and Johnson Controls shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the Separation, the Distribution or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or under any Ancillary Agreement and prior to making any filings with any Governmental Authority with respect thereto.

10.10      Expenses .  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties or as set forth on Schedule 10.10 , (a) all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred on or prior to the Effective Time in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and implementation of this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, the Separation, the Plan of Reorganization, the Form 10, the Distribution and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be borne by Johnson Controls, and (b) all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred following the Effective Time shall be borne by the Party or its applicable Subsidiary incurring such fees, costs or expenses.

10.13      Waivers of Default .  Waiver by a Party of any default by the other Party of any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Party of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the other Party.  No failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

10.14      Specific Performance .  Subject to the provisions of Article VII , in the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its or their rights under this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be

67

adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties.

10.15      Amendments .  No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification.

10.16      Interpretation .  In this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, (a) words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other genders as the context requires; (b) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) as a whole (including all of the Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices hereto and thereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement (or such Ancillary Agreement); (c) Article, Section, Schedule, Exhibit and Appendix references are to the Articles, Sections, Schedules, Exhibits and Appendices to this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) unless otherwise specified; (d) unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include the exhibits, schedules and annexes to such agreement; (e) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement (or the applicable Ancillary Agreement) shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (f) the word “or” shall not be exclusive; (g) unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days; (h) references to “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions are generally authorized or required by law to close in Ireland, the United States or the United Kingdom; (i) references herein to this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement or such other agreement as of the date on which it is executed and as it may be amended, modified or supplemented thereafter, unless otherwise specified; and (j) unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to September 8, 2016.

10.18      Performance .  Johnson Controls will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement to be performed by any member of the Johnson Controls Group.  Adient will cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements and obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary

10.19      Mutual Drafting .  This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be deemed to be the joint work product of the Parties and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against a drafter of such document shall not be applicable.
