PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

 

[Name]

 

Dear [Nickname]:

 

We are pleased to confirm that, as a key employee of Rockwell Collins, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rockwell Collins” or the “Company”), you have been granted a performance unit award payable in a lump sum amount in cash and/or in stock (as defined in paragraph 4) under the Rockwell Collins 2001 Long-Term Incentives Plan (the “Plan”). Any payout of your performance unit is based on the achievement by Rockwell Collins of the goals for Cumulative Sales and Return on Sales for its fiscal years of              through              [covering three fiscal years] (the “Performance Period”) as set forth in the matrix attached as Exhibit A (the “Matrix”). Any payout based on performance pursuant to the Matrix is to be further adjusted based on Shareowners Return as specified below. The terms and conditions of your award are as set forth in more detail below.

 

1. Confirmation of Award . Together with any letter transmitting this document to you, this performance unit agreement (this “Agreement”) confirms your award in accordance with the terms as set forth herein.

 

2. Amount Payable Pursuant to Award . Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5 through 12, the amount payable to you pursuant to your award shall be determined as follows:

 

(a) The percentage of target award earned will be the percentage found at the intersection in the Matrix of the final results achieved for Cumulative Sales and for Return on Sales for the Performance Period (as determined pursuant to paragraph 3).

 

(b) If the final results achieved for the Performance Period fall between the levels of performance specified in the Matrix, the percentage of target award payable will be interpolated consistent with the range in which the Cumulative Sales and Return on Sales falls as conclusively determined by the Committee (as defined below).

 

(c) No amount shall be payable for the Performance Period if the Cumulative Sales or Return on Sales (as determined pursuant to paragraph 3) for the Performance Period is less than the minimum level for the Performance Period as indicated in the Matrix.


(d) The payment as determined for achievement against goals for Cumulative Sales and for Return on Sales for the Performance Period will be further adjusted for the Company’s Total Shareowners Return performance (as determined pursuant to paragraph 3) relative to the 10 peer companies listed on Exhibit B. If relative performance is among the top 3 of the peer companies, the payment will be adjusted upward by 20%. If relative performance is among the middle 4 of the peer companies, there will be no adjustment to the payment. If relative performance is among the lowest 3 of the peer companies, the payment will be reduced by 20%. If the relative performance is not one of the top 3 companies or one of the lowest 3 companies, it will be deemed to be in the middle group of companies.

 

Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5 through 12, the amount payable to you pursuant to this performance award with respect to the Performance Period shall be paid in a lump sum, less applicable taxes, by Rockwell Collins as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period and after receipt of the accountants’ letter for the Performance Period pursuant to paragraph 13.

 

3. Definitions and Determination of Financial Performance . “Cumulative Sales” means, for the Performance Period, the total Sales as reported by the Company in its audited financial statements. “Return on Sales” means, for the Performance Period, the rate determined by dividing Net Income by Sales. Both Net Income and Sales will be the three year cumulative values as reported in the Company’s audited financial statements after adjusting for extraordinary income and expense items. The foregoing definitions and measures will exclude major acquisitions and divestitures, however, they will include post-acquisition growth.

 

“Shareowners Return” is measured by adding (i) the total stock price growth for the Performance Period, measured by comparing the average stock price during October 20      to the average stock price during September 20      , and (ii) dividends paid, measured as if reinvested in stock at the payment date. In the event of substantial changes causing an inability to calculate Shareowners Return for one or more of the peer companies listed on Exhibit B (or in the event of spinoffs or similar transactions causing a peer company to split into two or more peer companies), the list of peer companies shall be adjusted accordingly to take such events into account and the new group of peer companies shall for purposes of paragraph 2(d) be divided into a top, middle and lowest third; provided, however, that if such new group of peer companies is not equally divisible into three parts, then the excess number of peer companies shall be assigned to the middle third.

 

In connection with the receipt of the accountants’ letter for the Performance Period pursuant to paragraph 13, the committee of the Board of Directors of Rockwell Collins administering the Plan (which committee is herein called the “Committee” and which, on the date hereof, is the Compensation Committee) shall determine the Cumulative Sales, Return on Sales and the Shareowners Return results and ranking for the Performance Period after taking into account any adjustment as contemplated in paragraph 10.

 

4. Payment of Award . The award is payable in cash and/or in Common Stock of the Company. The Committee will determine whether payment will be made in stock and whether such payment in Common Stock will be automatic or elected at the discretion of each

recipient. The number of shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issued pursuant to the payment made in the form of Common Stock is to be determined by dividing (1) the payment amount, net of income tax withholdings (which are to be paid in cash), to be paid in the form of Common Stock of the Company by (2) the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Common Stock of the Company on the day immediately preceding the payout date for the Performance Unit.

 

5. Transferability of Award . This performance award shall not be transferable by you except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

6. Termination of Employment for Death, Disability, Retirement or Elimination of Position . If your employment by the Company terminates during the Performance Period by reason of your death, disability, retirement under a retirement plan of the Company or the elimination of your position, you will be entitled to receive as soon as practicable after the end of the Performance Period and after receipt of the accountants’ letter for the Performance Period pursuant to paragraph 13 a payment, if any, that would otherwise be payable pursuant to paragraph 2, but such amount shall be pro rated for the portion of the Performance Period that elapsed prior to this termination of employment.

 

7. Termination of Employment for Other Reasons . Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 9 through 12, if your employment by the Company terminates during the P
