Amendment to the 1993 Stock Plan for Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and Its Affiliates
This amendment updates the 1993 Stock Plan for Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its affiliates, effective December 8, 2006. It revises Section 17 to clarify how the plan and outstanding stock awards will be adjusted in the event of changes in the company's capitalization, such as stock splits, mergers, or reorganizations. The amendment ensures that employees' rights under the plan are fairly maintained during such corporate events, with the plan's committee having the authority to make binding decisions on these adjustments.

| “17. | Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization |
Notwithstanding any other provision of the 1993 Plan, the Committee shall make or provide for equitable adjustments to the 1993 Plan, to any outstanding Awards and to the number and class of Shares as to which Awards may be granted to any employee over any three-year period, to all employees through April 25, 2003 and as Incentive Stock Options in any year, and shall make equitable adjustments to any outstanding Awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights, including adjustments in the event of distributions to holders of Common stock (other than normal cash dividends), changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of Shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations and the like.
