16. Personal Data.
a. By entering into this Agreement, and as a condition of the grant of the Option, you expressly consent to the collection, use, and transfer of personal data as described in this Section to the full extent permitted by and in full compliance with applicable law.
b. You understand that your local employer holds, by means of an automated data file, certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested, or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).
c. You further understand that part or all of your Data may be also held by the Company or its Affiliates, pursuant to a transfer made in the past with your consent, in respect of any previous grant of options or awards, which was made for the same purposes of managing and administering of previous award/incentive plans, or for other purposes.
d. You further understand that your local employer will transfer Data to the Company or its Affiliates among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration, and management of your participation in the Plan, and that the Company or its Affiliates may transfer data among themselves, and/or each, in turn, further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan (“Data Recipients”).
e. You understand that the Company or its Affiliates, as well as the Data Recipients, are or may be located in your country of residence or elsewhere, such as the United States. You authorize the Company or its Affiliates, as well as the Data Recipients, to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering, and managing your participation in the Plan, including any transfer of such Data, as may be required for the administration of the Plan and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on your behalf, to a broker or third party with whom the Shares may be deposited.
f. You understand that you may show your opposition to the processing and transfer of your Data, and, may at any time, review the Data, request that any necessary amendments be made to it, or withdraw your consent herein in writing by contacting the Company. You further understand that withdrawing consent may affect your ability to participate in the Plan.
17. Discretionary Nature and Acceptance of Award. By accepting this Award, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and acknowledge that:
a. The Company (and not your local employer) is granting your Option. Furthermore, this Agreement is not derived from any preexisting labor relationship between you and the Company, but rather from a mercantile relationship.
b. The Company may administer the Plan from outside your country of residence and United States law will govern all options granted under the Plan.
c. Benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Company, do not constitute regular or periodic payments.
d. The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of your salary or compensation under your employment with your local employer for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension or retirement benefits, or any other payments, benefits or rights of any kind. You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result, or may result, from the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination.
e. The grant of the Option hereunder, and any future grant of an option under the Plan, is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company. Neither the grant of the Option nor any future grant by the Company will be deemed to create any obligation to make any future grants, whether or not such a reservation is explicitly stated at the time of such a grant. The Company has the right, at any time and/or on an annual basis, to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that no such amendment, suspension, or termination will adversely affect your rights hereunder.
f. The Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by you to constitute, part of the terms and conditions of employment. Neither the Company nor your local employer will incur any liability of any kind to you as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time.
g. Participation in the Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be deemed by you to constitute, an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company.
18. Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time. Payment of Shares is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of the Option. You have no rights as a shareowner of the Company pursuant to the Option until Shares are actually delivered you.
19. Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Option. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Option.
20. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision will be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
21. Governing Law. The Plan, this Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken under the Plan or this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law.
22. Acknowledgements and Acceptance. By accepting this Agreement, you agree that: (i) you have carefully read, fully understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the Plan, the Plan’s prospectus and all accompanying documentation; and (ii) you understand and agree that this Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Option, and that any prior agreements, commitments, or negotiations concerning the Option are replaced and superseded.

b. The Company may administer the Plan from outside your country of residence and United States law will govern all Restricted Stock Units [and Additional Restricted Stock Units] granted under the Plan.
c. Benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by the Company, do not constitute regular or periodic payments.

The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of your salary or compensation under your employment with your local employer for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension or retirement benefits, or any other payments, benefits or rights of any kind. You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result, or may result, from the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination.
e. The grant of Restricted Stock Units [and Additional Restricted Stock Units] hereunder, and any future grant of Restricted Stock Units [or Additional Restricted Stock Units] under the Plan, is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company.

g. Participation in the Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be deemed by you to constitute, an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company.
18. Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate your employment at any time. Payment of your Restricted Stock Units [and Additional Restricted Stock Units] is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the Company by reason of this Award or the account established on your behalf.

19. Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Restricted Stock Units. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning the Restricted Stock Units [and the Additional Restricted Stock Units].
20. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision shall be construed so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
21. Governing Law.

a. “Actual Award” means the product of (i) the Plan Payout Percentage (as determined under Section 3), and (ii) your Target Award.
b. “Compensation Peer Group” means [INSERT COMPANY NAMES]. If there is any change in the corporate capitalization of a company in the Compensation Peer Group during a Measurement Period (such as a stock split, corporate transaction or any partial or complete liquidation), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may take such change into account in determining the Total Shareholder Return of that company. If any company included in the Compensation Peer Group ceases to exist or to be publicly traded during the Measurement Period, or undergoes any other similar change, the Committee shall determine the consequences of such event for purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation, the replacement of such company in the Compensation Peer Group.
c. “Measurement Period” means [DESCRIBE MEASUREMENT PERIOD].
d. “Performance Cycle” means the period beginning on [DATE] and ending on [DATE].
e. “Target Award” means the number of Restricted Stock Units awarded to you for the Performance Cycle under Section 1 of this Agreement.
f. “Total Shareholder Return” means the ratio of (A) a company’s share price as of the last trading day of a Measurement Period (determined using the average closing share price over the 30 preceding trading days) plus earned dividends per share during the Measurement Period, over (B) the company’s share price as of the first trading day of a Measurement Period (determined using the average closing share price over the 30 preceding trading days).

4. [FOLLOWING INCLUDED AT COMMITTEE’S DISCRETION: Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), in its sole discretion, you will earn Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the value of any cash or stock dividends paid by the Company upon one Share of Common Stock for each unvested Restricted Stock Unit or Additional Restricted Stock Unit (as defined below) credited to your bookkeeping account on a dividend payment date. At the vesting date(s) specified in Section 6, such Dividend Equivalents shall be adjusted up or down based on your Actual Award. In the case of cash dividends, the Company shall credit to your bookkeeping account, on each dividend payment date, an additional number of Restricted Stock Units (“Additional Restricted Stock Units”) equal to (a) divided by (b), where (a) equals the total number of unvested Restricted Stock Units and Additional Restricted Stock Units, if any, subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date, and (b) equals the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. If a dividend is paid to holders of Common Stock in Shares, the Company shall credit to you, on each dividend payment date, Additional Restricted Stock Units equal to the total number of unvested Restricted Stock Units and Additional Restricted Stock Units subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the Share dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date. Additional Restricted Stock Units are subject to the same restrictions, including but not limited to vesting, transferability and payment restrictions, that apply to the Restricted Stock Units to which they relate, with any fractional Shares rounded up to the nearest whole Share. You will continue to earn Additional Restricted Stock Units on unpaid Restricted Stock Units and Additional Restricted Stock Units that are held in your bookkeeping account pursuant to a deferral election until the vested Shares are paid to you.]

Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8, 9, and 10 and a deferral election, payment will be made as soon as practicable following the vesting date, but in no event later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs.

OR
If your Termination of Employment occurs solely because of your Retirement on or after age [AGE] before the last day of the Performance Cycle, you will be vested in an additional number of Restricted Stock Units [and related Additional Restricted Stock Units] equal to [INSERT VESTING PROVISION ON RETIREMENT AT OR AFTER THE SPECIFIED AGE].]

b. Cashout of Awards. Unless adjusted or exchanged pursuant to Section 5.3(c), 5.3(d)(ii), 5.3(e) or 5.3(f) of the Plan (concerning rollover of outstanding awards in certain circumstances), Restricted Stock Units [and Additional Restricted Stock Units] that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control will immediately vest. If the Change in Control occurs after the Performance Cycle has ended, [subject to the terms of a deferral election,] you will receive the portion of your unpaid Actual Award.

2016 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
OF HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES
PERFORMANCE PLAN GRANT AGREEMENT
EID: | |||||
Employee Name: | |||||
# of Performance Stock Units Granted: | |||||
This PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT made in Charlotte, North Carolina, as of the [GRANT DATE] (the “Grant Date”), between Honeywell International Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company senior executive named above (the “Participant”).
1. Grant of Performance Award. The Company has granted you a target number (“Target Award”) of Restricted Stock Units as a Performance Award (“Performance Stock Units”), subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and Its Affiliates (the “Plan”).
The Company will hold the Performance Stock Units and [Additional Performance Stock Units (as defined in Section 4)] in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.
The details for this grant can be found on the Morgan Stanley StockPlan Connect website at www.stockplanconnect.com. The Company reserves the right to change or correct any information contained on the Morgan Stanley StockPlan Connect website to reflect the terms of the Award actually made by the Company on the Grant Date or the Plan.
2. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following definitions apply:
a. “Actual Award” means (A) the product of (i) the Plan Payout Percentage (as determined under Section 3), and (ii) your Target Award[; plus (B) any Additional Performance Stock Units (as determined under Section 4)]. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may reduce the amount of your Actual Award in its sole discretion.
b. “Performance Cycle” means the [INSERT PERFORMANCE CYCLE DATES].
3. Performance Measures. The Plan Payout Percentage shall be determined based on [INCLUDE IF PERFORMANCE MEASURES ARE THE SAME, OTHERWISE DESCRIBE PERFORMANCE MEASURES: actual performance against pre-set goals of (a) total revenue, (b) average return on investment, (c) average segment margin rate, and (d) Total Shareholder Return (collectively the “Performance Measures”) for the Performance Cycle, with each Performance Measure equally weighted (25% each). The Plan Payout for each Performance Measure other than Total Shareholder Return shall be determined at the Company level (“Corporate”) for eligible employees not assigned to one of the Company’s strategic business groups or the Honeywell Connected Enterprise business unit (collectively, an “SBG”), and 50% at the Company level and 50% at the SBG level for other eligible employees; provided, however, that the average return on investment Performance Measure for eligible employees assigned to the Honeywell Connected Enterprise business unit shall be determined 100% at the Company level.] For purposes of this determination, if an eligible employee transfers from one of the Company’s business units (i.e., an SBG or Corporate) to another during the Performance Cycle,
their Actual Award will be prorated for the number of days actively employed in each business unit during the Performance Cycle.
[DESCRIBE ADDITIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES]
4. [INCLUDE IF DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS ARE PROVIDED UNDER GRANT: Dividend Equivalents. Except as otherwise determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”), in its sole discretion, you will earn Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the value of any cash or stock dividends paid by the Company upon one Share of Common Stock for each unvested Performance Stock Unit or Additional Performance Stock Unit (as defined below) credited to your bookkeeping account on a dividend payment date. At the vesting date(s) specified in Section 6, such Dividend Equivalents shall be adjusted up or down based on your Actual Award. In the case of cash dividends, the Company shall credit to your bookkeeping account, on each dividend payment date, an additional number of Performance Stock Units (“Additional Performance Stock Units”) equal to (a) divided by (b), where (a) equals the total number of unvested Performance Stock Units and Additional Performance Stock Units, if any, subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date, and (b) equals the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date. If a dividend is paid to holders of Common Stock in Shares, the Company shall credit to you, on such dividend payment date, Additional Performance Stock Units equal to the total number of unvested Performance Stock Units and Additional Performance Stock Units subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the Share dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date. Additional Performance Stock Units are subject to the same restrictions, including but not limited to vesting, transferability and payment restrictions, that apply to the Performance Stock Units to which they relate. You will continue to earn Additional Performance Stock Units on unpaid Performance Stock Units and Additional Performance Stock Units that are held in your bookkeeping account until the vested Shares are paid to you.]
5. Payment Amount. Each Performance Stock Unit [and Additional Performance Stock Unit] represents one (1) Share of Common Stock. Your Actual Award will not exceed 200% of your Target Award.
6. Vesting and Payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the vesting and payment of an Actual Award is contingent upon (i) the achievement of a Plan Payout Percentage based on performance as described in Section 3 and Attachment A, and (ii) you remaining actively employed by the Company on [DESCRIBE VESTING PROVISIONS] (“Vesting Date”). [In no event will Additional Performance Stock Units be paid if the related Performance Stock Units have not vested.]
[INCLUDE IF PAYMENT PROVISIONS ARE THE SAME, OTHERWISE DESCRIBE PAYMENT PROVISIONS Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8 and 10, if earned, the Actual Award will be paid 50% in Shares rounded up to the nearest whole Share, with the net Shares held by you for at least one year from the Vesting Date. The remaining Actual Award will be converted and paid in cash, calculated by multiplying 50% of the Actual Award, stated in Shares, by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the last trading day of the Performance Cycle.
If an Actual Award is due, payment in cash and Shares will be made as soon as practicable following the Vesting Date, but in no event later than two and one-half months following the end of the year in which vesting occurs.
The cash portion of your Actual Award shall be expressed in U.S. dollars. Cash payment shall be made in the same currency as your pay (“Local Currency”). In the event you receive pay in more than one Local Currency, the currency used for payment will be at the discretion of the Company or your employer. The Company will convert the cash portion of your Actual Award from U.S. dollars to your Local Currency using the exchange rate in effect for the compensation planning cycle in the year of payment (i.e., the same rate used for converting annual bonuses to local currency in the first quarter of the year of payment). No payments will be credited with interest, and you may not defer any portion of the Actual Award hereunder.]
7. Termination of Employment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if your Termination of Employment occurs for any reason other than death or Disability before the Vesting Date, any unvested Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to future payments under this Agreement will end.
8. Death or Disability. If your Termination of Employment occurs because of your death or Disability before the Vesting Date, you or your estate will receive the prorated value of your Actual Award. The prorated value of the Actual Award shall be determined by multiplying the Actual Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed before your Termination of Employment from your first eligibility date to the last day of the Performance Cycle, and the denominator of which is the total number of days from your first eligibility date to the last day of the Performance Cycle. Such prorated Actual Award, stated in Shares, shall be multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the last trading day of the Performance Cycle and paid in cash as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two and one-half months following the end of the Performance Cycle. [Additional Performance Stock Units will be calculated on the prorated Actual Award as provided in Section 4.]
9. Retirement. For the avoidance of doubt, if your Termination of Employment occurs solely because of your Retirement at any age before the Vesting Date specified above, any unvested Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] or unpaid Actual Award, as applicable, will immediately be forfeited and your rights with respect to future payments under this Agreement will end.
10. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 2 through 9 to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the following provisions apply:
a. Rollover of Performance Awards. If adjusted or exchanged pursuant to Section 5.3(c) – (f) of the Plan, Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control will continue to vest in accordance with the schedule described in Section 6 of this Agreement (or as adjusted if more favorable); provided, however, that (x) if you incur an involuntary Termination of Employment not for Cause (as defined in Section 2.7 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.4(d) of the Plan) on or before the second anniversary of the date of the Change in Control and after the Performance Cycle has ended, your unpaid Actual Award will immediately vest in full and be paid in cash no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Employment or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Employment occurs, or (y) if you incur an involuntary Termination of Employment not for Cause (as defined in Section 2.7 of the Plan) or a voluntary Termination of Employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.4(d) of the Plan) during the two-year
period following the Change in Control and before the Performance Cycle has ended, an amount equal to the Target Award, pro-rated to reflect the portion of the Performance Cycle that elapsed before such Termination of Employment, will be paid in cash no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Employment or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Employment occurs.
b. Cashout of Performance Awards. Unless adjusted or exchanged pursuant to Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) of the Plan (concerning rollover of outstanding awards in certain circumstances), Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] that have not vested or terminated as of the date of the Change in Control will immediately vest. If the Change in Control occurs after the Performance Cycle has ended, you will receive your unpaid Actual Award. If the Change in Control occurs before the Performance Cycle has ended, the Actual Award will be based on the Target Award or other level of substantially achieved performance, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control. No later than the earlier of 90 days after the date of the Change in Control or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Change in Control occurs, you will receive for the Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] a single cash payment equal to the product of the number of vested and outstanding Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] as of the date of the Change in Control (including any Performance Stock Units [and Additional Performance Stock Units] that vest pursuant to this Section 10) and an amount equal to the greater of (i) the highest price per Share paid by the successor, as determined by the Committee, and (ii) the highest Fair Market Value during the period of 90 days that ends on the date of the Change in Control. Any securities or other property that is part or all of the consideration paid for Shares pursuant to the Change in Control will be valued at the higher of (x) the valuation placed on the securities or property by any entity that is a party with the Company to the Change in Control, or (y) the valuation placed on the securities or property by the Committee.
11. Withholdings. The Company or your local employer shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require you to remit to the Company or to your local employer, prior to any issuance or delivery of Shares, an amount sufficient to satisfy taxes imposed under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction, including but not limited to income taxes, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions, and National Insurance Contributions, that are required by law to be withheld as determined by the Company or your local employer.
12. Transfer of Performance Award. You may not transfer the Performance Stock Units[, Additional Performance Stock Units] or any interest in such Units or any portion of your Actual Award except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or except as permitted by the Committee and as specified in the Plan. Any other attempt to dispose of your interest will be null and void.

In exchange for entering into this Agreement and the Consideration set forth herein, Retiree does hereby waive and release, knowingly and willingly, Honeywell International Inc., its future parent corporations, its predecessor companies, its past, present and future divisions, subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies and their successors and assigns and all past, present and future directors, officers, employees and agents of these entities, personally and as directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively the “Honeywell Group”), from any and all claims of any nature whatsoever Retiree has arising out of his employment and/or the termination of employment with the Honeywell Group, known or unknown, including but not limited to any claims he may have under federal, state or local employment, labor, or anti-discrimination laws, statutes and case law and specifically claims arising under the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Civil Rights Acts of 1866 and 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Executive Order 11246, the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Labor-Management Relations Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act (all such statutes, as amended), the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, as amended, the New Jersey Equal Pay Act, the New Jersey Smokers’ Rights Law, the New Jersey Family Leave Act, the New Jersey Worker Freedom From Intimidation Act, the New Jersey Constitution, the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act, New Jersey common law, the Illinois Human Rights Act, the Illinois Equal Pay Law, the Illinois Smokers’ Rights Law, the Illinois Genetic Information Privacy Act, the Illinois Bill of Rights for the Homeless Act, the Illinois Constitution, Illinois common law and any and all other applicable state, county or local ordinances, statutes or regulations, including claims for attorneys' fees; provided, however, that this release does not apply to claims under ERISA Section 502(a)(1)(B) for benefits under Honeywell Group sponsored benefit plans covered under ERISA (other than claims for severance and severance related benefits), does not apply to claims arising out of obligations expressly undertaken in this Agreement, does not apply to claims that cannot be waived as a matter of law, does not apply to any rights to indemnification that Retiree may have pursuant to any agreement he previously entered into with the Company or its charter, bylaws, or similar governing documents, and does not apply to claims arising out of any act or omission occurring after the date Retiree signs this Agreement. All claims, including contingent claims, for incentive compensation awards under any Honeywell Group plan or payroll practice, along with any claims under any state wage and hour laws, are specifically subject to this release of claims. Any rights to benefits (other than severance benefits) under Honeywell Group sponsored benefit plans are governed exclusively by the written plan documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement (or any exhibit or attachment thereto) is intended to or shall be construed to prevent Retiree from (i) filing an administrative charge or otherwise communicating with or reporting possible violations of law to any federal, state or local government office, official or agency; or (ii) reporting any accounting, internal accounting control, or auditing matter to any federal regulatory agency, any federal law enforcement agency, any Member of Congress or any committee or subcommittee of Congress; and (iii) engaging in any activity protected by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (18 U.S.C. § 1514A) or the National Labor Relations Act.
By virtue of the foregoing, Retiree agrees that he has waived any damages and other relief available to him (including, without limitation, monetary damages, equitable relief and reinstatement) with respect to any claim or cause of action released in this General Release of Claims section. Therefore, Retiree agrees that he will not accept any award or settlement from any source or proceeding (including, but not limited to, any proceeding brought by any other person or by any governmental agency) with respect to any claim or right waived in this Agreement.
7.NONSOLICITATION AND NONCOMPETITION COVENANTS
Retiree acknowledges and agrees that in partial recompense for the Consideration, his intellectual property and noncompetition agreements with the Company shall be amended by substituting three (3) year restrictions on competition and nonsolicitation for the two (2) year periods set forth therein.
8.NON-DISPARAGEMENT
At no time on or after the date hereof will Retiree make any statement (or cause someone else to make any statement), or issue or cause to be issued any communication, publicly or privately (including, without limitation, to members of the media, business press, equity analysts, industry groups or organizations, Honeywell employees, contractors, clients, customers, vendors, suppliers, business partners or competitors, investors/shareholders), that would be disparaging (as defined below) to the Honeywell Group, its businesses, strategies, prospects, condition or reputation, or that of its directors, employees, officers or members; provided, however, that nothing contained in any provision of this Agreement shall preclude Retiree from communicating with his legal advisors or making any statement in good faith that is required by any applicable law or regulation or pursuant to an order of a court or other governmental body. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “disparaging” shall mean any statement or representation (whether oral or written and whether true or untrue) which, directly or by implication, tends to create a negative, adverse or derogatory impression about the subject of the statement or representation, or which is intended to create a negative, adverse or derogatory impression, or to harm the reputation of, the subject of the statement or representation. For the avoidance of doubt, Retiree agrees that he will not write or contribute to any book, article, social media post or other media publication, whether in written or electronic format, that is in any way descriptive of the Honeywell Group or his career with the Company without submitting a draft thereof for approval, at least thirty (30) days in advance, to the Company’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel, whose judgment about whether such book, article, social media post or other media publication is disparaging (and therefore prohibited) shall be determinative.
9.CLAIMS WARRANTIES
Retiree represents and warrants that he is not aware of any facts that would establish, tend to establish or in any way support an allegation that any member of the Honeywell Group has engaged in conduct that he believes could violate (1) any provision of federal law relating to fraud (including but not limited to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) and/or any state or local counterpart); (2) any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission; (3) the federal False Claims Act and/or any state or local or municipal qui tam counterpart (which prohibit the presentation by the Company or any affiliate of false claims and statements or the creation of false records or statements in order to obtain payment of federal, state, county or municipal funds, or to avoid refunds of such government funds); and (4) any other federal, state or local law.
10.COOPERATION AND NONDISCLOSURE
In further exchange for the Consideration under this Agreement, Retiree agrees to cooperate fully with the Company in any matters that have given or may give rise to a legal claim against the Company, and of which Retiree is knowledgeable as a result of his employment with the Company. This requires Retiree, without limitation, to (i) make himself available upon reasonable request to provide information and assistance to the Company on such matters without additional compensation, except for out of pocket costs, (ii) maintain the confidentiality of all Company privileged information including, without limitation, attorney-client privileged communications and attorney work product, unless disclosure is expressly authorized by the Company’s Law Department, and (iii) notify the Company promptly of any requests to Retiree for information from any third party (excluding government entities), related to any pending or potential legal claim or litigation involving the Company, reviewing any such request with a designated representative of the Company prior to disclosing any such information, and permitting a representative of the Company to be present during any communication of such information.
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits Retiree from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity including, but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Retiree does not need the prior authorization of the Law Department to make any such reports or disclosures and Retiree is not required to notify the Company that he has made such reports or disclosures.
11.CLAWBACK RIGHTS
Retiree hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no contractual provision or legal requirement relating to recoupment or clawback by the Company of any amount in the nature of compensation shall be affected by his retirement or the payments contemplated hereby, and all such provisions and requirements shall remain in effect and enforceable in accordance with their terms after the date hereof.
12.NO ASSIGNMENT
Neither party shall assign any right in or obligation arising under this Agreement without the other party’s written consent, and any such assignment shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of each party’s heirs, executors, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

14.409A CONSIDERATIONS
It is intended that this Agreement be administered in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, including, but not limited to, any future amendments to Code Section 409A, and any other Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other governmental rulings or interpretations issued pursuant to Section 409A (together, “Section 409A”) so as not to subject Retiree to payment of interest or any additional tax under Section 409A. The parties intend for any payments under this Agreement either to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A or to be exempt from the application of Section 409A, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted accordingly. In furtherance thereof, if payment or provision of any amount or benefit hereunder that is subject to Section 409A at the time specified herein would subject such amount or benefit to any additional tax under Section 409A, the payment or provision of such amount or benefit shall be postponed to the earliest commencement date on which the payment or provision of such amount or benefit can be made without incurring such additional tax. In addition, to the extent that Section 409A or any IRS guidance issued under Section 409A would result in Retiree being subject to the payment of interest or any additional tax under Section 409A, the parties agree, to the extent reasonably possible, to amend this Agreement to avoid the imposition of any such interest or additional tax under Section 409A, which amendment shall minimize any negative economic effect on Retiree and be reasonably determined in good faith by the Company and Retiree. As a “specified employee” as defined in Section 409A, any amounts payable under this Agreement that would be subject to the special rule regarding payments to “specified employees” under Section 409A(a)(2)(B) of the Code shall not be paid before the expiration of a period of six (6) months following the date of the termination of Retiree’s employment. In such case, Retiree shall receive all such deferred amounts retroactively in a single sum and the balance thereof as otherwise provided. In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on Retiree by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A; provided that, in the event that any excise tax or interest amount (“409A Amount”) is imposed on Retiree as a result of any negligent act or omission by
the Company, the Company shall reimburse Retiree for any such 409A Amount, grossed-up for taxes at an assumed total tax rate of forty percent (40%).
15.GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of North Carolina, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. Additionally, any action to enforce the terms of this Agreement shall be commenced exclusively in the federal or state courts of the State of North Carolina. Both parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of North Carolina and waive any claim under the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
16.ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and merges and supersedes all prior agreements, discussions and writings with respect thereto. No modification or alteration of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by both the Retiree and the Company.
17.REMEDIES
Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Company hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of injunction or otherwise if Retiree breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement.
18.SEVERABILITY
In the event any provision of this Agreement shall not be enforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
19.NO WAIVER
The waiver by the Company of any nonperformance or breach by Retiree of any provisions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall not be construed as waiving any such provision in the future. No delay or failure by Company in enforcing or exercising any right hereunder and no partial or single exercise thereof, shall be deemed of itself to constitute a waiver of such right or any other rights hereunder.
