Several executive officers of Rockwell Collins, Inc.

Each plan has been approved by the Company in accordance with its Insider Trading Policy and is consistent with the executive's obligations under the Company's stock ownership guidelines. The plans are part of each executive’s transaction-related tax planning in light of the pending acquisition of the Company by United Technologies Corporation. Company executives may enter into Rule 10b5-1 trading plans in the future from time to time, and Company executives have previously entered into such trading plans.
