2. Restricted Shares. If the Award is in the form of Shares of Restricted Stock, the Shares are subject to the following terms:
| a. | Restriction Period. The Company will hold the Shares in escrow for the Restriction Period. During this period, the Shares shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 4. |
| b. | Removal of Restrictions. Subject to any applicable deferral election under the Johnson Controls, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (or any successor plan) and to Section 4 below, Shares that have not been forfeited shall become available to the Participant after the last day of the Restriction Period upon payment in full of all taxes due with respect to such Shares. |
| c. | Voting Rights. During the Restriction Period, the Participant may exercise full voting rights with respect to the Shares. |
| d. | Dividends and Other Distributions. Any cash dividends or other distributions paid or delivered with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock for which the record date occurs on or before the last day of the Restriction Period will be credited to a bookkeeping account for the benefit of the Participant. For U.S. domestic Participants, the account will be converted into and settled in additional Shares issued under the Plan at the end of the applicable Restriction Period; for all other Participants, the account will be paid to the Participant in cash at the end of the applicable Restriction Period. Prior to the end of the Restriction Period, such account will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including risk of forfeiture) as the Shares of Restricted Stock to which the dividends or other distributions relate. |
3. Restricted Stock Units. If the Award is in the form of Restricted Stock Units, the Restricted Stock Units are subject to the following terms:
| a. | Restriction Period. During the Restriction Period, the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to forfeiture as provided in Section 4. |
| b. | Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to any applicable deferral election under the Johnson Controls, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (or any successor plan thereto) and to Section 4 below, the Restricted Stock Units shall be settled by, for U.S. domestic Participants, payment of one Share per Restricted Stock Unit or, for all other Participants, payment of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one Share per Restricted Stock Unit, in each case after the last day of the Restriction Period and upon payment in full of all taxes due with respect to such Restricted Stock Units. |
| c. | Dividend Equivalent Units. Any cash dividends or other distributions paid or delivered with respect to the Stock for which the record date occurs on or before the last day of the Restriction Period will result in a credit to a bookkeeping account for the benefit of the Participant. The credit will be equal to the dividends or other distributions that would have been paid with respect to the Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units had such Shares been outstanding. For U.S. domestic Participants, the account will be converted into and settled in additional Shares issued under the Plan at the end of the applicable Restriction Period; for all other Participants, the account will be paid to the Participant in cash at the end of the applicable Restriction Period. Prior to the end of the Restriction Period, such account will be subject to the same terms and conditions (including risk of forfeiture) as the Restricted Stock Units to which the dividends or other distributions relate. |
4. Termination of Employment – Risk of Forfeiture.
| a. | Retirement. If the Participant terminates employment from the Company and its Affiliates due to Retirement on or after the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which this Award is made, and at a time when the Participant could not have been |
- 2 -
| terminated for Cause, then any remaining Restriction Period shall continue as if the Participant continued in active employment. If the Participant engages in Inimical Conduct after his Retirement, as determined by the Administrator, any Restricted Stock and/or Restricted Stock Units still subject to a Restriction Period shall automatically be forfeited as of the date of the Administrator’s determination. |
| b. | Death or Disability. If the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates because of death or Disability at a time when the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, or if the Participant dies after Retirement while this Award is still subject to the Restriction Period, any remaining Restriction Period shall automatically lapse as of the date of such termination of employment or death, as applicable; provided that, if the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Affiliates terminates because of Disability after the Participant reaches eligibility for Retirement (regardless of whether the Participant has retired), then the Restriction Period shall continue as if the Participant had terminated due to Retirement under Section 4(a) above. |
| c. | Other Termination. If the Participant’s employment terminates for any reason not described above, then any Shares of Restricted Stock or any Restricted Stock Units (and all deferred dividends paid or credited thereon) still subject to the Restriction Period as of the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company. In the event of the Participant’s involuntary termination of employment by the Company or an Affiliate for other than Cause, the Administrator may waive the automatic forfeiture of any or all such Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (and all deferred dividends or other distribution paid or credited thereon) and may add such new restrictions to such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units as it deems appropriate. The Company may suspend payment or delivery of Shares (without liability for interest thereon) pending the Administrator’s determination of whether the Participant was or should have been terminated for Cause or whether the Participant has engaged in Inimical Conduct. |
5. Withholding. The Participant agrees to remit to the Company any foreign, Federal, state and/or local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance of Shares under this Award, the vesting of this Award or the payment of cash under this Award. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Award, if the Company or any Affiliate of the Company is required to withhold any Federal, state or local taxes or other amounts in connection with the Award, then the Company may require the Participant to pay to the Company, in cash, promptly on demand, amounts sufficient to satisfy such tax obligations or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment to the Company of the aggregate amount of any such taxes and other amounts. Alternatively, the Company can withhold Shares no longer restricted, or can withhold from cash or property, including cash or Shares under this Award, payable or issuable to the Participant, in the amount needed to satisfy any withholding obligations; provided that, in the case of Shares, the amount withheld may not exceed the Participant’s minimum withholding obligations.
6. No Claim for Forfeiture. Neither the Award nor any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award will be considered to be part of the Participant’s normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments. In no event may the Award or any benefit accruing to the Participant from the Award be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or any Affiliate. In consideration of the Award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Award resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment by the Company or any Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Participant irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the grant, the Participant shall have been deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim.
