In
addition, with respect to Annual Performance Awards that are not

designate other categories, including categories involving
individual performance and subjective targets, not listed
above.
(p)
“Performance Goal” means the level(s) of performance
for a Performance Measure that must be attained in order for a
payment to be made under an Annual Performance Award, and/or to

Scale.

or less of the Company or an Affiliate as selected by the
Administrator.
(r)
“ Performance Scale” means, with respect to a
Performance Measure, a scale from which the level of achievement
may be calculated for any given level of actual performance for
such Performance Measure. The Performance Scale may be a linear

Administrator.

“Retirement” means termination of employment from the
Company and its Affiliates (without Cause) on or after attainment
of age fifty-five (55) with at least ten (10) years of

determined within the meaning of the Johnson Controls Pension Plan
or such other plan or methodology prescribed by the
Administrator).
(u)
“Total and Permanent Disability” means the
Participant’s inability to perform the material duties of his
or her occupation as a result of a medically-determinable physical
or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or
which has lasted or can be expected to last for a period of at
least twelve (12) months, as determined by the Administrator.
The Participant will be required to submit such medical evidence or
to undergo a medical examination by a doctor selected by the
Administrator as the Administrator determines is necessary in order
to make a determination hereunder.
Section 2.2. Gender and Number . Except where otherwise
indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein includes
the feminine, the plural includes the singular, and the singular
the plural.
Section 2.3. Severability . In the event any provision
of the Plan is held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of
the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the
said illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
4
Section 3.1. Selection of Participants . The
Administrator shall select the key employees of the Company or an
Affiliate for participation in the Plan. No employee shall have any
right to receive an Annual Performance Award in any year even if an
Annual Performance Award has been previously granted in prior
years. In general, it is expected that the Administrator will
determine which key employees are to receive an Annual Performance
Award prior to, or within the first ninety (90) days of, the
first day of the applicable Performance Period.
Section 3.2. Termination of Approval . Until the
earlier of the end of a Performance Period or a Participant’s
termination of employment, the Administrator may at any time
withdraw its approval for a Participant’s participation in
the Plan. In the event of the Administrator’s withdrawal of
approval, the employee concerned shall cease to be a Participant as
of the date selected by the Administrator, the employee’s
Annual Performance Awards shall be cancelled, and the employee
shall not be entitled to any payment under those Annual Performance
Awards unless the Administrator determines otherwise. If payment is
approved by the Administrator notwithstanding the withdrawal of
approval, the payment shall be made in accordance with Section 5.2,
subject to Section 5.3, after the end of the Performance
Period, and the payment amount shall equal the award amount
calculated under Section 5.1, reduced in such manner or by
such amount (if at all) as determined in the sole discretion of the
Administrator. A Participant shall be notified of the
Administrator’s withdrawal of its approval for the
Participant’s participation in the Plan as soon as
practicable following such action.
Section 3.3. Transfers In, Out and Between Eligible
Positions .
(a) Notwithstanding
Section 3.1, if a key employee is hired or promoted into a
position that is eligible for an Annual Performance Award, the
Administrator may (1) select such key employee as a
Participant at any time during the course of a Performance Period,
(2) take action resulting in a key employee’s receipt of
an additional Annual Performance Award, where, with respect to a
particular Performance Period already in progress, the key employee
is currently a Participant in the Plan and already has an Annual
Performance Award for that Performance Period, or (3) change
the Performance Goals, Performance Measures, Performance Scale or
potential award amount under an Annual Performance Award that is
already in effect; provided that the Administrator may not
apply the discretion described in clause (3) with regard to
any Annual Performance Award that is intended to qualify as
performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m). The
Administrator may, but is not required to, prorate the amount that
would have otherwise been payable to the Participant under such
Annual Performance Award had the Participant been employed during
the entire Performance Period to reflect the Participant’s
actual period of employment during the Performance
Period.
(b) If
a Participant is demoted during a Performance Period, the
Administrator may decrease the potential award amount of any Annual
Performance Award the Participant may be eligible to receive, or
revise the Performance Goals, Performance Measures or Performance
Scale applicable to the Participant (provided that any such
revision as applied to an individual who is a covered employee
under Code Section 162(m) may result only in a reduction of the
amount that would have otherwise been payable absent such
revision), as the Administrator
5
determines is
necessary to reflect the Participant’s demotion, or the
Administrator may withdraw its approval for the Participant’s
participation in the Plan in accordance with
Section 3.2.
(c) If
a Participant is transferred from employment by the Company to the
employment of an Affiliate, or vice versa, the Administrator may
revise the Participant’s Annual Performance Award to reflect
the transfer, including but not limited to, changing the potential
award amount, Performance Measures, Performance Goals and
Performance Scale applicable to the Participant (provided that any
such revision as applied to an individual who is a covered employee
under Code Section 162(m) may result only in a reduction of the
amount that would have otherwise been payable absent such
revision).
Section 3.4. Termination of Employment .
(a) Except
as otherwise provided under the terms of an employment or severance
agreement between a Participant and the Company, no Participant
shall earn an incentive award for a Performance Period unless the
Participant is employed by the Company or an Affiliate (or is on an
approved leave of absence) on the last day of such Performance
Period, unless the Participant’s employment was terminated
during the year as a result of Retirement, Total and Permanent
Disability or death at a time when the Participant could not have
been terminated for Cause, or unless payment is approved by the
Administrator after considering the cause of the
Participant’s termination. If payment is approved by the
Administrator, the payment shall be made in accordance with
Section 5.2, subject to Section 5.3, after the end of the
Performance Period, and the payment amount shall equal the award
amount calculated under Section 5.1, reduced in such manner or
by such amount (if at all) as determined in the sole discretion of
the Administrator.
(b) If
a Participant’s employment is terminated as a result of
death, Total and Permanent Disability or Retirement, at a time when
the Participant could not have been terminated for Cause, then
unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Participant
(or the Participant’s Beneficiary or estate in the event of
his or her death) shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to
the product of (x) the award amount calculated under
Section 5.1 and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of the Participant’s whole calendar months of
employment during the Performance Period for such award and the
denominator of which is the number of calendar months in the
Performance Period for such award. Payment shall be made in
accordance with Section 5.2, subject to
Section 5.3.
ARTICLE 4.
CONTINGENT ANNUAL PERFORMANCE AWARDS

Award is granted, the Performance Period, the Performance
Measure(s), the Performance Goal(s) for such Performance Measure,

Measures), and the amount payable to the Participant if and to the

Performance Scale). The amount payable to a Participant for meeting
the Performance Goal(s) may be designated as a
