Honeywell International Inc. Severance Plan for Designated Officers, as amended and restated

The purpose of the Honeywell International Inc. Severance Plan for Designated Officers (the “Plan”) is to provide severance related benefits to select eligible employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its participating divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates who are employed in a position that is designated as being an officer of Honeywell by the Board and whose employment relationship is involuntarily terminated at the initiative of the Company for reasons other than Cause and who are thereafter, as a result of such termination, no longer employed by the Company or any successor thereto.

This Plan is intended to be an unfunded “welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA and is being maintained as a “top hat” plan for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

The terms of this Plan are intended to, and shall be interpreted so as to, comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code Section 409A”) and, if necessary, any provision of the Plan shall be held null and void to the extent such provision (or any part thereof) fails to comply with Code Section 409A.

This Plan is comprised of Part I--Provisions Prior to a Change in Control, and Part II--Special Provisions That Become Effective Only Upon a Change in Control.

A Participant who is at any time the subject of a Covered Termination shall continue to be a Participant until all of the benefits to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, if any, have been paid.

(a)    Eligibility for Benefits. Subject to subparagraphs (b) – (e) below, a Participant who is the subject of a Covered Termination shall receive the benefits described in this subparagraph (a).

(i)    Pay Continuation.

(A)    Honeywell’s Chief Executive Officer shall receive a benefit in an amount equal to thirty-six (36) months of Base Salary.

(B)    A Direct Report Officer Participant shall receive a benefit in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Base Salary or, following a Change in Control, twenty (24) months of Base Salary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Direct Report Officer Participant who has been a Direct Report Officer Participant continuously since February 10, 2021, eighteen (18) months shall be substituted for twelve (12) months.

(C)    A Non-Direct Report Officer Participant with less than two (2) years of service with the Company shall receive a benefit in an amount equal to six (6) months of Base Salary. A Non-Direct Report Officer Participant with two (2) or more years of service with the Company shall receive a benefit in an amount equal to nine (9) months of Base Salary.

(ii)    Prorated Annual Incentive Compensation. During the Severance Period, Honeywell’s Chief Executive Officer or a Direct Report Officer Participant shall receive an amount equal to his or her Annual Incentive Compensation multiplied by the applicable Pro Rata Factor. No Prorated Annual Incentive Compensation shall be payable for any Determination Year with respect to which the Pro Rata Factor is less than or equal to zero.

(iii)    Benefit Continuation. To the extent otherwise provided in the applicable plan documents and policies, Participants shall be eligible to continue their employee benefits during the Severance Period at active employee coverage levels and active employee contribution rates, if any.

(b)    Benefits Conditioned on Release. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary, all benefits under this Plan (except benefits provided pursuant to Part II) shall be provided in consideration for, and conditioned upon, (i) the execution and non-revocation of a release by the Participant of all claims, known or unknown, arising on or before the date of the release against the Company and its officers, directors and employees in the form and manner prescribed by the Company (which release may include cooperation, nondisclosure, non-competition, non-disparagement and confidentiality covenants) (the “Release”), (ii) the affirmation or initial agreement (as the case may be), in a form and manner prescribed by the Company, of the Participant’s obligations under confidentiality, non-solicitation and intellectual property covenants in favor of the Company (which affirmation/initial agreement may be made part of the Release), (iii) the execution of a non-competition agreement by the Participant in favor of the Company in a form and manner prescribed by the Company (which non-competition agreement may be made part of the Release), (iv) the repayment of any amounts due to the Company, and (iv) the return by the Participant to the Company of all property of the Company, including any and all electronic devices, documents, electronic data, trade secrets, proprietary and confidential information in the Participant’s possession, custody or control.

A Participant must execute all required documents, including the Release, not later than sixty (60) days after the Participant’s Last Day of Active Employment. If a Participant fails to execute such documents within the required time period, the Participant shall not be entitled to receive Severance Benefits under this Plan.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the period during which a Participant has to sign and revoke the Release begins in one taxable year of the Participant and ends in the Participant’s subsequent taxable year, any amounts payable under the Plan will commence in the subsequent taxable year.

(c)    Suspension of Benefits. The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend all Plan benefits upon learning, or having good reason to believe, that the Participant has violated the conditions and covenants described in Section 5(b). In such case, any consideration received by a Participant prior to the date of such cessation or suspension of Plan benefits shall be considered adequate consideration for the Release and other covenants hereunder. The Company's right to suspend or terminate Plan benefits hereunder shall not preclude the Company from pursuing other remedies for such violations, including, without limitation, seeking injunctive relief.

(d)    Nonduplication of Benefits. Any benefit determined to be payable to a Participant under this Plan shall, subject to and consistent with Code Section 409A, be reduced by the amount of any similar severance, redundancy or employment termination benefit payable to the Participant under (i) any other severance plan sponsored or funded by the Company, (ii) any agreement between the Company and the Participant, whether oral or written, express or implied, relating to termination related benefits, or (iii) any statutory or court mandated entitlement (including entitlements under foreign law), regardless of whether the benefit determined under such other plan, agreement, statutory or court mandated entitlement is payable at an earlier or a later date than payments under the Plan, it being the intention of this subparagraph (d) to protect the Company from the payment of duplicative severance, redundancy or employment termination benefits.

Except as provided in Section 25, any Pay Continuation shall be paid in substantially equal periodic installments corresponding to the Participant’s normal payroll period commencing after the Participant’s Last Day of Active Employment. Any Prorated Annual Incentive Compensation shall be paid annually in accordance with the Company’s normal practices with respect to the payment of incentive compensation awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at its sole discretion, delay the commencement of Severance Benefits until the Participant has executed a Release and the time period for revoking such Release, if applicable, has expired. In such case, the

Company shall commence Severance Benefits upon the receipt of the Release or the expiration of the revocation period, as applicable, and any arrearages paid as part of the next payroll period.

Payment of Severance Benefits shall cease in the event a Participant (i) accepts re-employment with the Company, or (ii) commences the receipt of his or her pension benefits from a Company-sponsored defined benefit pension plan.

In order to be eligible for Severance Benefits under Section 5, a Participant must be the subject of a Covered Termination. A Covered Termination generally means an involuntary termination of employment initiated by the Company. In no event, however, shall the following events constitute a Covered Termination:

(a)    an involuntary termination for Cause;

(b)    the death of a Participant during active employment;

(c)    the Participant’s failure to timely return to work upon expiration of an authorized leave of absence. Such a Participant will be treated as having voluntarily resigned from the Company;

(d)    a termination of employment initiated as a result of a Participant’s refusal to accept a transfer to another Company location; provided, however, a Participant whose employment is terminated within two (2) years following a Change in Control solely as a result of his or her refusal to transfer to another Company location that is more than 50 miles from his or her work location immediately prior to a Change in Control shall be treated as having been subject to a Covered Termination;

(e)    in the case of a sale or other disposition of the Participant’s subsidiary, division or other business unit or operation, a termination of employment initiated as a result of a Participant’s refusal to accept an offer of employment with the successor entity; provided, however, in such case a Covered Termination shall be deemed to have occurred only if the Participant is not offered substantially comparable employment with the successor entity, as determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Participant whose employment is terminated within two (2) years following a Change in Control solely as a result of his or her refusal to accept employment with the successor entity at a location that is more than 50 miles from his or her work location immediately prior to a Change in Control shall be treated as having been subject to a Covered Termination; or

(f)    if the Participant does not return to active employment within eighteen (18) months of commencing a Medical Leave of Absence; provided, however, if a Participant is medically cleared to return to work (with documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company) before the conclusion of such eighteen (18) month period and is ready and willing to do so but does not return to active employment because (i) no comparable job for which the Participant is qualified is available, or (ii) such Participant is unable to locate another comparable Company position within thirty (30) days following his or her return to work, then such Participant shall be treated as having been subject to a Covered Termination.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary and except as provided in Section 25(c), the Company reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to cancel all benefits under this Plan in the event a Participant engages in any activity that the Company considers detrimental to its interests, as determined by Honeywell’s general counsel or chief human resources officer, or their

delegees. Activities that the Company considers detrimental to its interests include, but are not limited to:

(a)    any effort on the part of a Participant, either directly or indirectly, to recruit or solicit employees of the Company for employment with another company without the written approval of Honeywell;

(b)    any effort on the part of a Participant, either directly or indirectly, to recruit or solicit customers of the Company;

(c)    the disclosure of any Company confidential or proprietary information, or the breach of any obligations under the Participant’s agreements relating to intellectual property and confidential information;

(d)    any intentional misconduct that is, or may be, damaging to the property or business of the Company;

(e)    the commission of a fraud or misappropriation of property, proprietary information, intellectual property or trade secrets of the Company for personal gain or for the benefit of another party;

(f)    knowingly making false or misleading statements about the Company or its products, officers or employees to competitors, customers or potential customers of the Company, or to current or former employees of the Company;

(g)    a Participant’s holding himself or herself out as an active employee of the Company; or

(h)    breaching any of the terms of the Release or any intellectual property, confidentiality or noncompetition agreement or covenant.

If a Participant dies after signing and returning the Release, without revoking the Release, and before all Severance Benefits have been paid, the balance of such payments will be paid to the Participant’s estate in a lump sum within sixty (60) days following the Participant’s death.

(a)    Plan Administration. Except as provided in Section 26, the Plan shall be administered by the Plan Administrator, who shall have the powers and authorities as described in this Section 10. The Plan Administrator shall be the Company’s chief human resources officer, or his designee.

The Plan Administrator shall serve without additional compensation. The Plan Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept such records and shall prepare or cause to be prepared such returns or reports as may be required by law or necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

(b)    Powers and Duties of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have the full discretionary power and authority to (i) construe and interpret the Plan (including, without limitation, supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan); (ii) determine all questions of fact arising under the Plan, including questions as to eligibility for and the amount of benefits; (iii) establish such rules and regulations (consistent with the terms of the Plan) as it deems necessary or appropriate for administration of the Plan; (iv) delegate responsibilities to others to assist it in administering the

Plan; and (v) perform all other acts it believes reasonable and proper in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Company in determining any Participant’s entitlement to, and the amount of, Severance Benefits under the Plan. Any determination of the Plan Administrator, including interpretations of the Plan and determinations of questions of fact, shall be final and binding on all parties.

The Plan Administrator may retain attorneys, consultants, accountants or other persons (who may be employees of the Company) to render advice and assistance and may delegate any of the authorities conferred on him under this Plan to such persons as he shall determine to be necessary to affect the discharge of his duties hereunder. The Plan Administrator, the Company and its officers and directors shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions and determinations of any such persons. Any exercise of the authorities set forth in this Section 10, whether by the Plan Administrator or his delegee, shall be final and binding upon the Company and all Participants.

(c)    Additional Discretionary Authority. The Plan Administrator may, in his sole and absolute discretion, waive the requirement that a Participant execute a Release or confidentiality, non-competition, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and intellectual property covenants in order to receive Severance Benefits.

(d)    Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify the Plan Administrator from all claims for liability, loss, or damage (including payment of expenses in connection with defense against such claims) arising from any act or failure to act in connection with the Plan.

Except as provided in Section 26, the Plan’s benefit claims and appeals procedures shall be as follows:

(a)    Any request or claim for Plan benefits shall be deemed to be filed when a written request is made by the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative that is reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Plan Administrator.

(b)    The Plan Administrator, or his designee, shall respond, in writing, to any claimant’s claim for benefits under the Plan. Such response shall be provided within 90 days of its receipt by the Plan Administrator or, if special circumstances require and the claimant is so notified, in writing, before the expiration of the initial 90-day period, within 180 days of its receipt by the Plan Administrator. If the extension is necessary because the claimant has failed to submit the information necessary to decide the claim, the Plan Administrator’s period for responding to such claim shall be tolled until the date that the claimant responds to the request for additional information. The response shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall, in the case of an adverse benefit determination:

(i)    set forth the specific reasons for the adverse benefit determination;

(ii)    contain specific references to Plan provisions relative to the adverse benefit determination;

(iii)    describe any material and information, if any, necessary for the claim for benefits to be perfected, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and

(iv)    advise the claimant that any appeal of an adverse benefit determination must be made, in writing, to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of such adverse benefit determination, and must set forth the facts upon which the appeal is based.

(c)    If the claimant fails to appeal the Plan Administrator’s adverse benefit determination, in writing, within 60 days after its receipt by the claimant (or within 60 days after a deemed denial of the claim), the Plan Administrator’s determination shall become final and conclusive.

(d)    If the claimant appeals the Plan Administrator’s adverse benefit determination in a timely fashion, the Plan Administrator shall re-examine all issues relevant to the original denial of benefits. Any such claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may review any pertinent documents and records, including documents and records that were relied upon in making the benefit determination, documents submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit determination (even if such documents were not relied upon in making the benefit determination), and documents that demonstrate compliance, in making the benefit determination, with the Plan’s required administrative processes and safeguards. In addition, the claimant or his duly authorized representative may submit, in writing, any documents, records, comments or other information relating to such claim for benefits. In the course of his review, the Plan Administrator shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant or his duly authorized representative relating to such claim, regardless of whether it was submitted or considered as part of the initial benefit determination.

(e)    The Plan Administrator shall advise the claimant and such claimant’s representative, in writing, of its decision within 60 days of receipt of the written appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of such 60-day period for not more than an additional 60 days. Where such extension is necessary, the claimant shall be given written notice of the delay before the expiration of the initial 60-day period, which notice shall set forth the reasons for the delay and the date the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision. In the event of an adverse benefit determination on appeal, the Plan Administrator shall advise the claimant, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, of (i) the specific reasons for the adverse benefit determination, and (ii) the specific Plan provisions on which the adverse benefit determination was based. The Plan Administrator’s written notice will advise the claimant of his or her right to receive, upon request and free of charge, copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to such claim.

(f)    In the event of an adverse benefit determination after the Plan Administrator’s review, the claimant’s sole remedy shall be to file an action in court.

The Plan’s claims procedures do not create any independent rights to Plan benefits. A current or former Participant who files a claim for Plan benefits must satisfy all Plan requirements, including the requirements of Section 5(b), in order to be entitled to benefits.

(a)    Any claim for Plan benefits must be filed in writing with the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after the current or former Participant knew or should have known of his/her putative right to Plan benefits. However, in no event will any claim be considered timely if it is filed more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date a current or former Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated. Requests or claims submitted more than sixty (60) days after a current or former Participant knew or should have know of his/her potential right to Plan benefits, or one-hundred eighty (180) days after the date his/her employment with the Company is terminated, are deemed waived by the claimant and considered time-barred

(b)    Any lawsuit against the Plan, the Company, the Plan Administrator, or any other Plan fiduciary, must be filed no later than the six (6) month anniversary of the following, as applicable: (i) the date the claim or appeal is denied by the Plan Administrator, or (ii) the date the claimant knows, or should reasonably know, that the claim has been, or is treated as being, denied (e.g., if the claim, or the appeal in the case of an adverse benefit determination, is not denied within the time limits described in Section 11 above).

(c)    Any action in connection with the Plan must be filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.

All benefits payable under this Plan shall constitute an unfunded obligation of the Company. Payments shall be made, as due, from the general funds of the Company. This Plan shall constitute solely an unsecured promise by the Company to pay severance benefits to Participants to the extent provided herein.

No Participant shall have the power to transfer, assign, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber any rights or any amounts payable under this Plan; nor shall any such rights or amounts payable under this Plan be subject to seizure, attachment, execution, garnishment or other legal or equitable process, or for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony, or separate maintenance, or be transferable by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or otherwise. In the event a person who is receiving or is entitled to receive benefits under the Plan attempts to assign, transfer or dispose of such right, or if an attempt is made to subject such right to such process, such assignment, transfer or disposition shall be null and void.

The Company shall have the right to withhold any taxes required to be withheld with respect to any benefits due under this Plan.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 27, Honeywell reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time without prior notice to or the consent of any employee. No amendment or termination shall adversely affect the rights of any Participant whose employment terminated prior to such amendment or termination. However, except as provided in Section 27, any Participant whose employment continues after amendment of the Plan shall be governed by the terms of the Plan as so amended. Any Participant whose employment continues after termination of the Plan shall have no right to a benefit under the Plan. Any amendment or termination of the Plan must comply with all applicable legal requirements including, without limitation, compliance with Code Section 409A, securities, tax or other laws, rules, regulations or regulatory interpretations thereof that apply to the Plan.

Nothing contained in this Plan shall give an employee the right to be retained in the employment of the Company. This Plan is not a contract of employment between the Company and any employee.

Unless expressly indicated to the contrary herein, any action required to be taken by an entity may be taken by action of its governing body or by any appropriate officer or officers traditionally responsible for such determination or actions, or such other individual or individuals as may be designated by such governing body, officer or employee.

The Plan is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, and will be construed in accordance with the provisions of ERISA and the laws of the State of North Carolina.

If any provision of this Plan (other than Section 5(b)) shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein. If Section 5(b) shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall nullify the remainder of this Plan with respect to the affected Participants.

(a)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, if required by Code Section 409A and if a Participant is a “Specified Employee” (as defined below), no benefits shall be paid under this Plan during the “Postponement Period” (as defined below). If a Participant is a Specified Employee and payment of benefits is required to be delayed for the Postponement Period under Code Section 409A, the accumulated amounts withheld on account of Code Section 409A shall be paid in a lump sum payment within 30 days after the end of the Postponement Period and no interest or other adjustment shall be made for the delayed payment. If the Participant dies during the Postponement Period prior to the payment of benefits, the amounts withheld on account of Code Section 409A shall be paid to the Participant’s estate within sixty (60) days after the Participant’s death.

(b)    This Plan is intended to meet the requirements of the “short-term deferral” exception, the “separation pay” exception and other exceptions under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if required by Code Section 409A, payments may only be made under this Plan upon an event and in a manner permitted by Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. For purposes of Code Section 409A, the right to a series of payments under the Plan shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. All reimbursements and in-kind benefits provided under the Plan shall be made or provided in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A, including, where applicable, the requirement that (i) any reimbursement is for expenses eligible for reimbursement during the period of time specified in the Plan; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided in any other calendar year; (iii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense will be made no later than the last day of the calendar year following the year in which the expense is incurred; and (iv) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefit is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. In no event may a Participant designate the year of payment for any amounts payable under the Plan.

(c)    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any payments of Severance Benefits under this Plan that (i) are, or may be, deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A (“409A Severance Benefits”), and (ii) are subject to a Release, where the period for execution and non-revocation of the Release spans more than one calendar year, any payment of 409A Severance Benefits that is contingent on the execution of the Release shall not be paid until the second calendar year, or later if required by the applicable terms of the Plan.  In no event may a Participant, either directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of payment of any 409A Severance Benefits.

(d)    For purposes of this Section 21, the following definitions apply:

(i)    “Specified Employee” means a Participant who, at any time during the 12-month period ending on the identification date, is a “specified employee” under Code Section 409A, as determined by the Vice President – Compensation and Benefits (or his delegee), which determination of “specified employees,” including the number and identity of persons considered “specified employees” and identification date, shall be made by the Vice President – Compensation and Benefits (or his delegee) in accordance with the provisions of Code Sections 416(i) and 409A.

(ii)    “Postponement Period” means, for a Specified Employee, the period of six months after the Specified Employee’s Last Day of Active Employment (or such other period as may be required by Code Section 409A) during which deferred compensation may not be paid to the Specified Employee under Code Section 409A.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise indicated, the provisions of this Part II apply only to Honeywell’s Chief Executive Officer and Direct Report Officer Participants (collectively “CIC Participants”). Such provisions become effective upon a Change in Control and, in addition to the provisions of Part I that are not superseded by provisions of this Part II, shall control (i) the determination of eligibility for, the amount of, and the time of payment of benefits under the Plan to any CIC Participant who is the subject of a Covered Termination that occurs within the two (2) year period following the Change in Control, (ii) the terms of payment for any CIC Participant whose Severance Period extends beyond the Change in Control, and (iii) the determination of eligibility for, the amount of, and the time of payment of benefits under Section 24 of the Plan to any Participant.

(b)    It is intended that this Part II will assure that CIC Participants will not be adversely affected by the unique circumstances that may exist following a Change in Control. The provisions of this Part II will have no effect whatsoever prior to a Change in Control.

(1)“Annual Incentive Compensation” means, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(b), the product of (i) Annual Base Salary, and (ii) the greater of (A) the Incentive Award Target Percentage for the most recent Determination Year ended prior to the Change in Control, or (B) the average of the Incentive Award Target Percentages applied in determining the CIC Participant’s Incentive Award in the last three Determination Years prior to the date of Covered Termination (or such lesser period as the CIC Participant may have been employed).

(2)“Cause” has the same meaning as under Part I; provided, however, in the case of a determination under Part II of the Plan, Cause shall be determined by the New Plan Administrator.

(3)“Covered Termination” means, in addition to the circumstances described in Section 3(j), a severance of the employment relationship at the initiative of a CIC Participant for Good Reason.

(4)“Good Reason” means any one or more of the following:

(1)A material change in the CIC Participant’s position, duties and/or responsibilities as they existed in the period immediately preceding the Change in Control;

(2)Any significant reduction in the CIC Participant’s Base Salary or Annual Incentive Compensation;

(3)Any significant reduction in the economic value of awards granted under any Company long-term incentive plans in which the CIC Participant participated prior to a Change in Control, or the successors thereto;

(4)Any geographic relocation of the CIC Participant’s position to a new location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the location of the CIC Participant’s position immediately prior to a Change in Control;

(5)Any action by the Company that, under applicable law, constitutes constructive discharge; or

(6)    The failure of any Honeywell Employer that is a successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to expressly assume and agree to honor this Plan, if such assumption is legally required to make this Plan enforceable against the successor.

For purposes of this Section 23(d), the term “significant reduction” shall mean a reduction or series of reductions with respect to the same form of benefit or remuneration that are greater than 10%, or which do not affect substantially all persons covered by the plan or program in question.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Good Reason shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the CIC Participant provides written notice to Honeywell identifying the event or omission constituting the reason for a Good Reason termination within ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of such event or omission. Within thirty (30) days after such notice has been provided to Honeywell, Honeywell shall have the opportunity, but shall have no obligation, to cure such event or conditions that give rise to a Good Reason termination. If Honeywell fails to cure the events or conditions giving rise to a CIC Participant’s Good Reason termination by the end of the thirty (30) day cure period, the CIC Participant’s employment shall be terminated effective as of the expiration of such thirty (30) day cure period unless the CIC Participant has withdrawn such Good Reason termination notice.

(5)“Honeywell Employer” means the Company and any other person, organization or entity that becomes bound by the terms of the Plan by operation of law, or agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Plan for a period of time that extends at least through the two-year period following a Change in Control.

(6)“New Plan Administrator” shall mean such person or persons appointed pursuant to Section 26 to administer the Plan upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(1)If, following a Change in Control, any payment to a CIC Participant from a Honeywell Employer or from any benefit or compensation plan or program sponsored or funded by a Honeywell Employer is determined to be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G or any successor or substitute provision of the Code, with the effect that either the CIC Participant is liable for the payment of the tax described in Section 4999 or any successor or substitute provision of the Code (hereafter the “Section 4999 tax”), or the Honeywell Employer has withheld the amount of the Section 4999 tax, an additional benefit (hereafter the “Enhancement Benefit”) shall be paid from this Plan to such affected CIC Participant.

(2)The Enhancement Benefit payable shall be an amount that, when added to all payments constituting “parachute payments” for purposes of Section 280G or any successor or substitute provision of the Code, is sufficient to cause the remainder of (i) the sum of the “parachute payments,” including any Enhancement Benefit, less (ii) the amount of all state, local and federal income taxes and the Section 4999 tax attributable to such payments and penalties and interest on any amount of Section 4999 tax, other than penalties and interest on any amount of Section 4999 tax with respect to which an Enhancement Benefit was paid to the CIC Participant on or before the due date of the CIC Participant’s federal income tax return on which such Section 4999 tax should have been paid, to be equal to the remainder of (iii) sum of the “parachute payments,” excluding any Enhancement Benefit, less (iv) the amount of all state, local and federal income taxes attributable to such payments determined as though the Section 4999 tax and penalties and interest on any amount of Section 4999 tax, other than penalties and interest on any amount of Section 4999 tax with respect to which an Enhancement Benefit was paid to the CIC Participant on or before the due date of the CIC Participant’s federal income tax return on which such Section 4999 tax should have been paid, did not apply.

(3)The provisions of this Section 24 shall only apply to any CIC Participant who was a CIC Participant on December 31, 2009.

For the avoidance of doubt, no CIC Participant who becomes a CIC Participant on or after January 1, 2010 shall be eligible for the Enhancement Benefit described in this Section 24. If it is determined that such a CIC Participant is entitled to receive payments, benefits and other compensation from the Honeywell Employers (whether paid or payable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise) that would subject the CIC Participant to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, then the CIC Participant may elect to receive either (i) all payments, benefits and other compensation from the Honeywell Employers less any applicable income taxes and the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (i.e., without any Enhancement Benefit), or (ii) the amount that maximizes the payments, benefits and other compensation from the Honeywell Employers to the CIC Participant without causing any such payment, benefit or other compensation to be an “excess parachute payment”(as defined under Section 280G of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder), less any applicable income taxes.

(a)     Benefit Payments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6, benefits that are determined to be payable to a CIC Participant under Sections 5(a)(i) and 5(a)(ii) on or after a Change in Control shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the later of the Change in Control or the Covered Termination, in a single payment equal to the sum of (i) the total amount of the benefit remaining payable under Section 5(a)(i), and (ii) the amount of the benefit remaining payable under Section 5(a)(ii) for all Determination Years which are coextensive, in whole or part, with the Severance Period; provided, however, that the single lump sum payment pursuant to this Section will only be paid if the Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” under Section 409A of the Code. Otherwise, the payment shall be paid (or continue to be paid, if in pay status) in the same form and at the same times as provided under Section 5(a). The requirements of Section 5(b) shall have no application to benefits payable after a Change in Control. Benefits that are determined to be payable to a CIC Participant under Section 24 shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the later of a Change in Control or the date the “parachute payments” referred to in Section 24 are made, in a single payment equal to the amount of the benefit determined under Section 24(b). If any benefit is paid later than the time provided in this Section 25(a), such late payment shall be credited with interest for the period from the date payment should have been made to the date actually made at a rate equal to the average quoted rate for three-month U.S. Treasury Bills for the week preceding the date of payment, as determined by the New Plan Administrator, plus six percentage points.

(b)    Subsequent Benefit Payments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6, in the event the Internal Revenue Service assesses a Section 4999 tax due which is in excess of the amount determined by the Honeywell Employer under Section 24(b), a CIC Participant shall be paid, within thirty (30) days following the date the CIC Participant gives notice to the New Plan Administrator of proof of payment of the Section 4999 tax, in a single payment an amount equal to the amount of the additional benefit determined under Section 24(b), based upon the amount of the Section 4999 tax paid in excess of any Section 4999 tax with respect to which any Enhancement Benefit was previously paid. If any benefit is paid later than the time provided in this Section 25(b), such late payment shall be credited with interest for the period from the date payment should have been made to the date actually made at a rate equal to the average quoted rate for three-month U.S. Treasury Bills for the week preceding the date of payment, as determined by the New Plan Administrator, plus six percentage points.

(c)    Forfeiture of Benefits. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8, a CIC Participant receiving benefits or entitled to receive benefits under the Plan shall cease to receive such benefits under the Plan and the right to receive any benefits in the future under the Plan shall be forfeited, in the event the CIC Participant, as determined by the New Plan Administrator, (i) is convicted of a felony committed against a Honeywell Employer, its property or business, (ii)

commits any fraud or misappropriates property, proprietary information, intellectual property or trade secrets of a Honeywell Employer for personal gain or for the benefit of another party, or (iii) actively recruits and offers employment to any management employee of a Honeywell Employer.

(a)    New Plan Administrator. On or before a Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a person independent of the Company to be the New Plan Administrator upon the occurrence of a Change in Control and the Plan Administrator shall provide to the New Plan Administrator such information with respect to each CIC Participant in the Plan as shall be necessary to enable the New Plan Administrator to determine the amount of the Severance Benefits that are then, or may thereafter become, payable to such CIC Participants. Upon a Change in Control, the New Plan Administrator shall have the authority invested in the Plan Administrator under Section 10(b), and claims for benefits shall be subject to the claims and appeals procedures outlined in Section 11.

(b)    Attorneys Fees and Costs. If a CIC Participant is paid or is determined to be entitled to receive benefits by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Honeywell Employer shall immediately pay or reimburse the affected CIC Participant for the full amount of any attorneys’ fees and other expenses the affected CIC Participant incurred in pursuing his or her claim for benefits, including claims incurred during the claims and appeals portion of the process. The payment or reimbursement shall include the reasonable hourly rates charged by the CIC Participant’s attorneys, any and all other expenses related to the action incurred by or on behalf of the affected CIC Participant, the costs and expenses of any experts utilized to prepare the claim, and any court costs assessed against the affected CIC Participant.

(c)    Declaratory Judgment. CIC Participants may bring a claim under this Section 26 to assert the existence of Good Reason conditions that would enable a CIC Participant to trigger his own termination under this Part II without resigning his or her position with the Honeywell Employer.

This Plan may not be amended or terminated after a Change in Control; provided, however, the Plan may be amended if the purpose of the amendment is to increase benefits hereunder or if the purpose of the amendment is to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

No waiver by a CIC Participant at any time of any breach by a Honeywell Employer of, or of any lack of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Plan to be performed by the Honeywell Employer shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. In no event shall the failure by a CIC Participant to assert any right under the Plan (including, but not limited to, failure to assert the existence of Good Reason conditions that would enable a CIC Participant to trigger his own termination under this Part II) be deemed a waiver of such right or any other right provided under the Plan, it being intended that a CIC Participant who has perfected a right under the Plan (including, but not limited to, a CIC Participant’s right to trigger his own Good Reason termination under this Part II) shall be entitled to assert that right in accordance with the terms of the Plan unless the CIC Participant affirmatively elects, in writing, to waive such right.

All benefits granted under the Plan shall be subject to any applicable clawback or recoupment policies, share trading policies and other policies that may be implemented by the Board of Directors

from time to time, including such policies set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as such policies may be amended from time to time, subject to and consistent with Section 409A of the Code.
