(e)Confidentiality. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all records and data relating to Employees shall, in each case, be subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Distribution Agreement and any other applicable agreement and applicable Law, and the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be in addition to, and not in derogation of, the

ARTICLE IVEQUITY AND EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Section 4.1.General Principles.

(a)IR and Allegion shall take any and all reasonable actions as shall be necessary and appropriate to further the provisions of this Article IV, including, to the extent practicable, providing written notice or similar communication to each Employee who holds one or more awards granted under any IR Equity Plan or IR Deferred Compensation Plan informing such Employee of (i) the actions contemplated by this Article IV with respect to such awards and (ii) whether (and during what time period) any “blackout” period shall be imposed upon holders of awards granted under any IR Equity Plan or IR Deferred Compensation Plan during which time awards may not be exercised or settled, as the case may be.

(b)Following the Effective Time, a grantee who has outstanding equity-based awards under one or more of the IR Equity Plans or IR Deferred Compensation Plans and/or replacement equity-based awards under the Allegion Equity Plan shall be considered to have been employed by the applicable plan sponsor before and after the Effective Time for purposes of (i) vesting and (ii) determining the date of termination of employment as it applies to any such award; provided, that this Section 4.1(b) shall not govern adjustments made to the IR PSUs under Section 4.4 hereof.

(c)No award described in this Article IV, whether outstanding or to be issued, adjusted, substituted or cancelled by reason of or in connection with the Distribution, shall be adjusted, settled, cancelled, or exercisable, until in the judgment of the administrator of the applicable plan or program such action is consistent with all applicable Laws, including federal securities Laws. Any period of exercisability will not be extended on account of a period during which such an award is not exercisable pursuant to the preceding sentence.

18

(d)The adjustment or conversion of IR Options, IR Stock Appreciation Rights, IR RSUs, IR PSUs and IR Notional Shares shall be effected in a manner that is intended to avoid the imposition of any accelerated, additional, penalty or other Taxes on the holders thereof pursuant to Section 409A of the Code.

(e)For reference purposes only, sample calculations showing adjustments as contemplated by Section 4.2 through Section 4.5 are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Section 4.2.Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)Treatment of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.

(i)Vested and Exercisable IR Options and IR Stock Appreciation Rights. Each IR Option or IR Stock Appreciation Right that is vested and exercisable by its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Exercisable IR Award”), regardless of who holds such Exercisable IR Award, shall be deemed bifurcated into two options or stock appreciation rights, as applicable, the first an “Adjusted Exercisable IR Award” and the second, an “Allegion Exercisable Award”. Each Adjusted Exercisable IR Award and each Allegion Exercisable Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Exercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time:

(A)With respect to each Adjusted Exercisable IR Award:

(x) the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to each such Adjusted Exercisable IR Award shall be equal to the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Exercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(y) the per-share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of each Adjusted Exercisable IR Award shall be equal to ((A) the IR Post-Distribution Share Value) minus ((B)(i) Adjusted Exercisable IR Award Spread Value Allocation divided by (ii) the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Exercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time), rounded up to the fourth decimal point.

(B)With respect to each Allegion Exercisable Award:

(x) the number of Allegion Ordinary Shares subject to each such Allegion Exercisable Award shall be equal to the (A) number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Exercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Distribution Ratio,

19

with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share; and

(y) the per-share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of each Allegion Exercisable Award shall be equal to ((A) the Allegion Post-Distribution Share Value) minus ((B)(i) the Allegion Exercisable Award Spread Value Allocation divided by (ii) the number of Allegion Ordinary Shares subject to such Allegion Exercisable Award (as determined pursuant to clause (x) above)), rounded up to the fourth decimal point.

(ii)Unvested and Vested but Unexercisable IR Options and IR Stock Appreciation Rights.

(A)IR Group Employees and IR Directors. Each IR Option or IR Stock Appreciation Right that is unvested or is vested but unexercisable by its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Unexercisable IR Award”) held by an IR Group Employee, IR Director or Former IR Group Employee shall remain an option or stock appreciation right, as applicable, to purchase IR Ordinary Shares issued under the applicable IR Equity Plan (each such award, an “Adjusted Unexercisable IR Award”). Each Adjusted Unexercisable IR Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time:

(x) the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to each such Adjusted Unexercisable IR Award shall be equal to (A) the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the IR Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share; and

(y) the per-share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of each such Adjusted Unexercisable IR Award shall be equal to (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the IR Ratio, rounded up to the fourth decimal point.

(B)Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees. Each Unexercisable IR Award held by an Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee

20

immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted as of the Effective Time into an option or stock appreciation right, as applicable, to purchase Allegion Ordinary Shares (each such award, an “Allegion Unexercisable Award”) pursuant to the terms of the Allegion Equity Plan, subject to terms and conditions from and after the Effective Time that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time:

(x) the number of Allegion Ordinary Shares subject to each such Allegion Unexercisable Award shall be equal to (A) the number of IR Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Allegion Ratio, with any fractional share rounded down to the nearest whole share;

(y) the per-share exercise price or base price, as applicable, of each such Allegion Unexercisable Award shall be equal to (A) the per-share exercise price of the corresponding Unexercisable IR Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Allegion Ratio, rounded up to the fourth decimal point; and

(z) with respect to each such Allegion Unexercisable Award, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Allegion Equity Plan (i.e., a Change in Control of Allegion rather than IR).

Section 4.3.Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Treatment of IR RSUs Held by IR Group Employees and Former IR Group Employees. IR RSUs held by an IR Group Employee or a Former IR Group Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted by dividing the number of IR RSUs subject to each grant by the IR Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of IR RSUs shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions (including vesting terms) to which the IR RSUs are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Effective Time.

(b)Treatment of IR RSUs Held by Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees. IR RSUs held by an Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be replaced with an award of a number of Allegion restricted stock units (the “Allegion RSUs”) determined by dividing the number of IR RSUs subject to each grant by the Allegion Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of Allegion RSUs shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Allegion RSUs shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as in effect for the corresponding IR RSUs immediately prior to the Effective

21

Time; provided, however, with respect to each such Allegion RSU, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning set forth in the Allegion Equity Plan (i.e., a Change in Control of Allegion rather than IR).

Section 4.4.Performance Share Units. The number of IR Ordinary Shares underlying each IR PSU held by an IR Group Employee, Former IR Group Employee, Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted by dividing such ordinary shares by the IR Ratio, with the result rounded up to the extent it includes a fractional share; the number of such adjusted IR PSUs held by an Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee shall be then pro-rated based on the number of days elapsed during the applicable performance period through the date of the consummation of the Transaction and if the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of shares underlying any IR PSU shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions to which the IR PSUs are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that the calculations of “Earnings Per Share” and “Total Shareholder Return” will be adjusted to appropriately reflect the Transaction in a manner described on Exhibit B attached hereto.

Section 4.5.Notional Shares.

(a)Treatment of IR Notional Shares Held by IR Group Employees, IR Directors and Former IR Group Employees. IR Notional Shares held by an IR Group Employee, IR Director or a Former IR Group Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be adjusted by dividing the number of IR Notional Shares held by such individual by the IR Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of adjusted IR Notional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The terms and conditions (including vesting terms) to which the IR Notional Shares are subject shall be substantially the same terms and conditions before and after the Effective Time.

(b)Treatment of IR Notional SharesHeld by Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees. IR Notional Shares held by an Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be replaced with a number of Allegion notional shares (the “Allegion Notional Shares”) determined by dividing the number of IR Notional Shares held by such individual by the Allegion Ratio. If the resulting product includes a fractional share, the number of Allegion Notional Shares shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Allegion Notional Shares shall be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as in effect for the corresponding IR Notional Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 4.6.Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. By approving the adoption of this Agreement, the respective Boards of Directors of each of IR and Allegion intend to exempt from the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, by reason of the application of Rule 16b-3 thereunder, all acquisitions and dispositions of equity incentive awards by directors and officers of each of IR and Allegion, and the respective Boards of Directors of IR and Allegion also intend expressly to approve, in respect of any equity-based award, the use of any method for the payment of an exercise price and the satisfaction of any

22

applicable Tax withholding (specifically including the actual or constructive tendering of shares in payment of an exercise price and the withholding of option shares from delivery in satisfaction of applicable Tax withholding requirements) to the extent such method is permitted under the applicable IR Equity Plan, Allegion Equity Plan and any award agreement.

Section 4.7.Liabilities for Settlement of Awards.

(a)Settlement of IR Options and IR Stock Appreciation Rights. IR shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with IR Options and IR Stock Appreciation Rights exercised by an IR Group Employee or Former IR Group Employee, including any option exercise, share delivery, registration or other obligations related to the exercise of the IR Options.

Allegion shall be responsible for all Liabilities associated with Allegion Exercisable Awards and Allegion Unexercisable Awards exercised by an Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee, including any option exercise, share delivery, registration or other obligations related to the exercise of the Allegion Options. Settlement of Allegion Exercisable Awards exercised or held by an IR Group Employee or Former IR Group Employee shall be effected as follows: In the case of a broker-assisted cashless exercise, the award holder will instruct the award administrator, who will (in the case of an Allegion Option) sell the shares obtained through the exercise and who will wire the exercise price directly to Allegion, wire the applicable tax withholding to IR and wire the remaining proceeds to the brokerage account of such IR Group Employee or Former IR Group Employee.

BONUSES FOR ALLEGION GROUP EMPLOYEES

Section 5.1.IR Bonus Plan Participation. As of the Effective Time, each Allegion Group Employee shall cease to participate in any IR Benefit Plan that provides cash bonus or similar short-term cash incentive opportunities (the “IR Bonus Plans”), and from and after the Effective Time, the Allegion Group shall be solely responsible for providing cash bonus or similar short-term cash incentive opportunities to Allegion Group Employees, in accordance with this Article V.

Section 5.2.Bonus Determination.

(a)With respect to any performance period under IR Bonus Plans that has not been completed on or prior to the Effective Time, the Allegion Group shall provide each Allegion Group Employee with a cash bonus or similar short-term cash incentive opportunity that is equivalent to the cash bonus or similar short-term cash incentive opportunity which could have been earned under the applicable IR Bonus Plan for such incomplete performance period. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, IR shall transfer to Allegion and Allegion shall assume, the accrued Liability related to the IR Bonus Plans for each Allegion Group Employee for the portion of the applicable performance period beginning on the first day of the applicable performance period and ending on the Effective Time. For purposes of determining the amount of the accrued Liability to be transferred to and assumed by Allegion, the applicable performance criteria shall be measured by IR in accordance with the terms of the applicable IR Bonus Plans for the portion of the applicable performance period up to the Effective Time and based on the 2013 forecast for IR financial results as of the Effective Time.

(b)The Allegion Group shall determine individual Allegion Group Employee bonus or similar short-term cash incentive amounts, by allocating the applicable aggregate bonus pool as if such bonus pool were being paid under the terms of the applicable IR Bonus Plan, taking into account individual performance criteria as determined by the Allegion Group in its reasonable discretion. Following such determination, the Allegion Group shall pay each Allegion Group Employee the applicable bonus amounts in the same form and on the same timing that each Allegion Group Employee would have received such bonus or similar short-term cash incentive amount under the terms of the IR Bonus Plans had the Distribution not occurred.

ARTICLE VI
U.S. QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN

Section 6.1.Establishment of Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan. No later than the Effective Time, Schlage Lock Company LLC, a Transferred Group Entity, shall establish a defined benefit pension plan (such new defined benefit pension plan, the “Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan”) that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(a)

25

of the Code and related trust that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 501(a) of the Code to provide retirement benefits to Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees who immediately prior to the Effective Time were participants in the IR Pension Plan, the Retirement Plan for Former Employees of Ingersoll-Rand Company or the Trane Merged Hourly Pension Plan, as applicable (collectively, the “Parent Pension Plans”). The Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees described here shall be known as the “Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan Participants.” Effective as of the Effective Time, either Schlage Lock Company LLC shall remain the plan sponsor of the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan or Allegion shall or shall cause another Allegion Entity to assume the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan. Allegion shall be responsible for taking all necessary, reasonable, and appropriate action to establish, maintain, and administer the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan so that it is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that the related trust thereunder is exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code. Allegion (acting directly or through members of the Allegion Group) shall be responsible for any and all Liabilities (including Liability for funding) and other obligations with respect to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan.

Section 6.2.Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan Participants.

(a)Assumption of Parent Pension Plans Liabilities. Effective as of the Effective Time, Allegion (acting directly or through members of the Allegion Group) hereby agrees to cause the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan to assume, fully perform, pay, and discharge all Liabilities under the Parent Pension Plans relating to all Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan Participants as of the Effective Time.

(b)Transfer of the Parent Pension Plan Assets.

(i)The Parties intend that the portions of the Parent Pension Plans covering Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan Participants shall be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan in accordance with Section 414(l) of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1, and Section 208 of ERISA. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Time, IR and Allegion (acting directly or through members of the IR Group or the Allegion Group, respectively) shall, to the extent necessary, file an IRS Form 5310-A regarding the transfer of Assets and Liabilities from the IR Pension Plan to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan. It is intended that the transfers of Assets and Liabilities relating to Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees from the Retirement Plan for Former Employees of Ingersoll-Rand Company and the Trane Merged Hourly Pension Plan described hereunder shall satisfy the de minimis rule of treasury Regulations Section 414(l)-1(n)(2) and shall be deemed to comply with Section 414(l) of the Code so that no IRS Form 5310-A shall be filed with respect to such transfers.

(ii)Prior to the Effective Time (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), IR shall cause the IR Actuary to determine the estimated value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets to be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC

26

Pension Plan in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) attached hereto (the “Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount”).

(iii)On or about the Effective Time (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties), IR and Allegion shall cooperate in good faith to cause an initial transfer of Assets from the trust of the Parent Pension Plans to the trust of the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan in an amount to be approximately ninety percent (90%) of the Estimated Pension Plan Transfer Amount (such amount, the “Initial Transfer Amount”). IR shall satisfy its obligation pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(iii) by causing the trust of the Parent Pension Plans to transfer Assets equal to the Initial Transfer Amount. Assets may be transferred in cash, cash equivalents, securities or, if acceptable to Allegion, in kind, or in a combination thereof, as determined by IR in its sole discretion (other than in kind assets).

(iv)Within sixty (60) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) following the Effective Time, IR shall cause the IR Actuary to provide Allegion with a revised calculation of the value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets to be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan determined in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) attached hereto (the “Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount”). Allegion may submit, at its sole cost and expense, the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount to the Allegion Actuary for verification; provided, that, such verification process and any calculation performed by the Allegion Actuary in connection therewith shall be performed solely on the basis of the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) attached hereto. In order to perform such verification, upon request from Allegion, the Allegion Actuary will receive the data and additional detailed methodology used to calculate the Initial Transfer Amount and the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount (if reasonably needed) from the IR Actuary. Allegion will be responsible for the cost and expense of the Allegion Actuary and IR will be responsible for the cost and expense for the IR Actuary for such data transfer. In the event the Allegion Actuary so determines that the value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets to be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan differs from the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount, the Allegion Actuary shall identify in writing to the IR Actuary all objections to the determination within sixty (60) days following provision of the revised value calculation to Allegion pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (iv), and the Allegion Actuary and the IR Actuary shall use good faith efforts to reconcile any such difference. If the Allegion Actuary and the IR Actuary fail to reconcile such differences, the Allegion Actuary and the IR Actuary shall jointly designate a third, independent actuary whose calculation of the value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets to be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan shall be final and binding; provided, that, such calculation must be performed within a reasonable period of time, but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days following designation of such third actuary and in accordance with the assumptions and valuation methodology set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) attached hereto; and provided, further, that such value shall be between the value determined by the Allegion Actuary and the Revised Pension Plan Transfer Amount or equal to either such value. IR

27

and Allegion shall each pay one-half of the costs incurred in connection with the retention of such independent actuary. The final, verified value, as of the Effective Time, of the Assets to be transferred to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan as determined in accordance with this Section 6.2(b)(iv) shall be referred to herein as the “Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount.”

(v)Within forty-five (45) days (or such later time as mutually agreed by the Parties) of the determination of the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount, IR shall cause the Parent Pension Plans to transfer to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan (the date of such transfer, the “Final Transfer Date”) the amounts, as determined by IR in its discretion) in cash, cash equivalents or securities, or if acceptable to Allegion, other assets in kind equal to (A) the Final Pension Plan Transfer Amount minus (B) the Initial Transfer Amount (such difference, as adjusted to reflect earnings or losses as described in this Section 6.2(b)(v), the “True-Up Amount”); provided, that, in the event the True-Up Amount is negative, IR shall not be required to cause any such additional transfer and instead Allegion shall be required to cause a transfer of cash, cash equivalents or securities (or, in its discretion, if acceptable to IR, assets in kind) from the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan to each or any of the Parent Pension Plans as required in an amount equal to the absolute value of the True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the Parent Pension Plans' transfer of the True-Up Amounts to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of IR to cause the transfer of, and the Parent Pension Plans to transfer, Assets to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(v). The True-Up Amounts, if any, shall be paid individually from the affected Parent Pension Plans to the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan, as determined by IR in its discretion in kind (if acceptable to Allegion), in cash, cash equivalents or securities, and shall be adjusted to reflect fees or charges paid or incurred, and earnings or losses during the period from the Effective Time to the Final Transfer Date. Such earnings or losses shall be determined based on the actual rates of return of each of the affected Parent Pension Plans for the period commencing as of the Effective Time and ending as close as administratively practicable to the Final Transfer Date. In the event that Allegion is obligated to cause the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan to reimburse any or all of the Parent Pension Plans pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(v), such reimbursements shall be performed in accordance with the same principles set forth herein with respect to the payment of the True-Up Amount. The Parties acknowledge that the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan's transfer of such reimbursement amounts to the affected Parent Pension Plans shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the obligations of Allegion to cause the transfer of, and the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan to transfer, Assets to the Parent Pension Plans pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(v).

(vi)Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, all determinations, calculations and payments under this Section 6.2 with respect to any of the Parent Pension Plans shall be made separately with respect to each the Parent Pension Plans, and in no event shall the Assets or Liabilities of one of the Parent Pension Plans be

28

utilized to satisfy the obligations of another Parent Pension Plan when giving effect to this Section 6.2 in any respect.

Section 6.3.Tax Qualified Status. Allegion will take all steps and make any necessary filings with the IRS to establish and maintain the Schlage Lock Company LLC Pension Plan so that such plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the related trust is tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the Code, including promptly seeking and obtaining a favorable determination letter from the IRS as to such qualification.

Section 8.1.Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans.

(a)Establishing Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans. Except as otherwise set forth on Schedule 8.1(a), as of the Transferred Group Adoption Date, Schlage Lock Company LLC, a Transferred Group Entity, shall have established and adopted deferred compensation plans for its key employees (collectively, the “Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans”) to provide each Allegion Group Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee who was a participant in the IR Deferred Compensation Plans as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Allegion Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary”) benefits in respect of service and compensation following the Effective Time substantially similar to those accrued with respect to such person under the IR Deferred Compensation Plans as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, either Schlage Lock Company LLC shall remain the plan sponsor of the Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans or Allegion shall or shall cause another Allegion Entity to assume the Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans. As of the Effective Time, the Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees shall no longer participate in the IR Deferred Compensation Plans. The Parties agree that for purposes of the IR Deferred Compensation Plans, an Allegion Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary shall not be considered to have incurred a separation of service as determined under the general rules of Section 409A of the Code as a result of the Distribution or the transfer of employment or service from IR (or an IR Entity) to Allegion (or an Allegion Entity), and such employment or service shall only be considered to terminate for purposes of the Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans when the employment or service of such Allegion Deferred Compensation Plan Beneficiary with the Allegion Group terminates in accordance with the terms of the Allegion Deferred Compensation Plans and applicable Laws.

(b)Liability and Responsibility. The Liabilities in respect of Allegion Deferred Compensation Beneficiaries under the IR Deferred Compensation Plans shall be assumed by the member of the Allegion Group which sponsors the applicable Allegion Deferred Compensation Plan, effective as of the Effective Time.

ARTICLE IX
U.S. WELFARE PLANS

Section 9.1.Establishment of Allegion Welfare Plans. Following the Effective Time and prior to the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall, or shall cause another Allegion Entity to, establish and adopt Allegion Welfare Plans that will provide welfare benefits, effective as of January 1, 2014, or such later date agreed to in writing by IR (as applicable, the “Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date”), to each Allegion Group

31

Employee or Former Allegion Group Employee who is a participant in any IR Welfare Plan (and their eligible spouses and dependents, as the case may be) (collectively, the “Allegion Welfare Plan Participants”) under terms and conditions that are similar to the IR Welfare Plans. The Parties may vary the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date of each Allegion Welfare Plan. Coverage and benefits under the Allegion Welfare Plans shall then be provided to the Allegion Welfare Plan Participants on an uninterrupted basis under the newly established Allegion Welfare Plans which shall contain similar benefit provisions as in effect under the corresponding IR Welfare Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Allegion Welfare Plan Participants shall cease to be eligible for coverage under the IR Welfare Plans on the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date with respect to the specific IR Welfare Plan affected on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, Allegion Welfare Plan Participants shall not participate in any IR Welfare Plans after the time set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and IR Group Employees and Former IR Group Employees shall not participate in any Allegion Welfare Plans at any time.

Section 9.2.Transitional Matters Under Allegion Welfare Plans; Treatment of Claims Incurred.

(a)Liability for Claims. With respect to unpaid covered claims that are either incurred but not processed or that are incurred but unreported prior to the Effective Time by any Allegion Welfare Plan Participant under any IR Welfare Plans, including claims that are self-insured and claims that are fully insured through third-party insurance, Allegion shall assume and be responsible for the payment for such claims or shall cause such Allegion Welfare Plan to fully perform, pay and discharge all such claims, as the case may be. No IR Entity shall be responsible for any Liability with respect to any such claims.

(i)Claims Incurred. For purposes of this Section 9.2(a), a claim or expense is deemed to be incurred (A) with respect to (I) medical (including continuous hospitalization), dental, vision and/or prescription drug benefits, upon the rendering of health services giving rise to such claim or expense; and (II) Medicare supplement premium reimbursement under the Post-65 Retiree Medical Reimbursement Account arrangement (the “HRA”), upon the date the supplemental health coverage premiums are paid; (B) with respect to life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment and business travel accident insurance, upon the occurrence of the event giving rise to such claim or expense; and (C) with respect to long-term disability benefits, upon the date of an individual’s disability, as determined by the disability benefit insurance carrier or claim administrator, giving rise to such claim or expense.

(b)Credit for Deductibles and Other Limits. With respect to each Allegion Welfare Plan Participant, Allegion and IR shall use reasonable efforts to agree that the Allegion Welfare Plans will give credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs for any amount paid, number of services obtained or provider visits by such Allegion Welfare Plan Participant toward deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, limits on number of services or visits, or other similar limitations to the extent such amounts are taken into account under the comparable IR Welfare Plan. For purposes of any life-time maximum benefit limit payable to an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant under any Allegion Welfare Plan, the Allegion Welfare Plans

32

will recognize any expenses paid or reimbursed by an IR Welfare Plan with respect to such participant prior to the Effective Time to the same extent such expense payments or reimbursements would be recognized in respect of an active plan participant under the applicable IR Welfare Plan.

(c)COBRA. IR shall be responsible for administering compliance with the group health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the certificate of creditable coverage requirements of HIPAA and the corresponding provisions of the IR Welfare Plan with respect to Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees and their covered dependents who incur a COBRA qualifying event or loss of coverage under the IR Welfare Plan prior to the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, subject to Allegion’s obligation to reimburse IR for the cost of such administration under the Transition Services Agreement and coverage under the IR Welfare Plan. At and after the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall assume all requirements with respect to COBRA and the certificate of creditable coverage requirements under HIPAA with respect to all Allegion Group Employees and Former Allegion Group Employees.

(d)Additional Details Regarding HRA. Pursuant to Section 9.1, at or prior to the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall, or shall cause another Allegion Entity to, establish and adopt Allegion Welfare Plans which will provide HRA benefits to eligible Allegion Welfare Plan Participants. To the extent that any Allegion Welfare Plan provides HRA benefits (each, an “Allegion HRA”), such Allegion Welfare Plan shall be effective as of the applicable Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date.

(i)It is the intention of the Parties that all activity under an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant’s HRA with IR for the plan year in which the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date occurs, be deemed to be activity under the corresponding Allegion HRA. Accordingly, (A) any period of participation by an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant in an IR HRA during the plan year in which the Distribution occurs (the “IR HRA Participation Period”) will be deemed a period when the Allegion Welfare Plan Participant participated in the corresponding Allegion HRA; (B) all expenses incurred during the IR HRA Participation Period will be deemed incurred while the Allegion Welfare Plan Participant’s coverage was in effect under the corresponding Allegion HRA; (C) all reimbursements made with respect to an IR HRA Participation Period under an IR HRA will be deemed to have been made with respect to the corresponding Allegion HRA; and (D) any balance accrued under the IR HRA as of the Effective Date shall become a balance under the Allegion HRA.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3(d), at and after the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, the Allegion Group shall assume, and cause the Allegion Welfare Plans to be solely responsible for, all claims by Allegion Welfare Plan Participants under the applicable IR Welfare Plan HRA that were incurred but not paid, whether incurred prior to, on, or after the Effective Time, that have not been paid in full as of the Effective Time.

33

(e)Employees on Leave. As of the Effective Time, Allegion shall assume and satisfy all Liabilities with respect to any Allegion Group Employee who is, as of the Effective Time, on vacation or other approved leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid (including leave under FMLA or corresponding state Law, disability, military leave and other approved leave, including Liabilities for salary continuation, paid leave or continuing Benefit Plans). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any individual residing in California who would have become an Allegion Group Employee as of the Effective Time but was on an approved leave of absence at the Effective Time shall become an Allegion Group Employee following the conclusion of his or her approved leave.

Section 9.3.Continuity of Benefits, Benefit Elections and Beneficiary Designations.

(a)Benefit Elections and Designations. As of the first day of the month after the month in which the Distribution occurs, or if later, the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date (or such other date provided for under Section 9.3(b)), Allegion shall cause the Allegion Welfare Plans to recognize and give effect to all elections and designations (including all coverage and contribution elections and beneficiary designations) made by each Allegion Welfare Plan Participant under, or with respect to, the annual enrollment conducted on behalf of the Allegion Welfare Plan by IR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9.3(a) will prohibit Allegion from soliciting or causing the solicitation of new election forms or beneficiary designations from Allegion Welfare Plan Participants to be effective under the Allegion Welfare Plan as of January 1, 2014.

(b)Additional Details Regarding Flexible Spending Accounts. Pursuant to Section 9.1, at or prior to the Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall, or shall cause another Allegion Entity to, establish and adopt Allegion Welfare Plans which will provide health care flexible spending account or dependent care flexible spending account benefits to Allegion Welfare Plan Participants. To the extent any Allegion Welfare Plan provides or constitutes a health care flexible spending account or dependent care flexible spending account (each an “Allegion FSA”), such Allegion Welfare Plan shall be effective as of the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date.

(i)It is the intention of the Parties that all activity under an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant’s flexible spending account with IR for the plan year in which the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date occurs be treated instead as activity under the corresponding Allegion FSA. Accordingly, (i) any period of participation by an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant in an IR flexible spending account during the plan year in which the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date occurs (the “FSA Participation Period”) will be deemed a period when the Allegion Welfare Plan Participant participated in the corresponding Allegion FSA; (ii) all expenses incurred during the FSA Participation Period will be deemed incurred while the Allegion Welfare Plan Participant’s coverage was in effect under the corresponding Allegion FSA; and (iii) all elections and reimbursements made with respect to an FSA Participation

34

Period under an IR flexible spending account will be deemed to have been made with respect to the corresponding Allegion FSA.

(ii)If the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to Allegion Welfare Plan Participants prior to the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date from the applicable IR Welfare Plan flexible spending accounts during the plan year in which the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date occurs are less than the aggregate accumulated contributions to such accounts made by such Allegion Welfare Plan Participants prior to the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date for such plan year, IR shall cause an amount equal to the amount by which such contributions are in excess of such reimbursement payouts to be transferred to Allegion (or an Allegion Entity designated by Allegion) by wire transfer of immediately available funds as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days, following the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date.

(iii)If the aggregate reimbursement payouts made to Allegion Welfare Plan Participants prior to the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date from the applicable IR Welfare Plan flexible spending accounts during the plan year in which the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date occurs exceed the aggregate accumulated contributions to such accounts made by the Allegion Welfare Plan Participants prior to the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date for such plan year, Allegion shall cause an amount equal to the amount by which such reimbursement payouts are in excess of such contributions to be transferred to IR (or an IR Group Entity designated by IR) by wire transfer of immediately available funds as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days, following the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date.

(iv)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3(b), at and after the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, the Allegion Group shall assume, and cause the Allegion Welfare Plans to be solely responsible for, all claims by Allegion Welfare Plan Participants under the applicable IR Welfare Plan flexible spending accounts that were incurred in the plan year in which the Distribution occurs, whether incurred prior to, on, or after the Effective Time, that have not been paid in full as of the Effective Time.

(c)Additional Details Regarding Health Savings Accounts. Pursuant to Section 9.1, on or prior to the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall, or shall cause another Allegion Entity to, establish and adopt Allegion Welfare Plans and will coordinate with a health savings account custodian to make available a health savings account option for eligible Allegion Welfare Plan Participants which will provide health savings account benefits to eligible Allegion Welfare Plan Participants similar to the benefits provided to eligible participants in the Health Savings Plan option of the IR Welfare Plan. The health savings account made available in connection with the Allegion Welfare Plan shall, to the extent permissible under applicable IRS regulations, be effective as of the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date.

35

(d)Employer Non-elective Contributions. As of immediately after the relevant Allegion Welfare Plan Implementation Date, Allegion shall cause any Allegion Welfare Plan that constitutes a “cafeteria plan” under Section 125 of the Code to recognize and give effect to all non-elective employer contributions credited toward coverage of an Allegion Welfare Plan Participant under the corresponding IR Welfare Plan that is a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code for the applicable plan year.

(e)Waiver of Conditions or Restrictions. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Allegion Welfare Plans will waive all limitations, exclusions, service conditions, waiting period limitations or evidence of insurability requirements that would otherwise be applicable to the Allegion Welfare Plan Participant following the Effective Time to the extent that such Employee had previously satisfied such limitation under the corresponding IR Welfare Plan.

Section 9.4.Insurance Contracts. To the extent any IR Welfare Plan is funded through the purchase of an insurance contract or is subject to any stop loss contract, IR and Allegion will cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to replicate such insurance contracts for Allegion (except to the extent changes are required under applicable state insurance Laws or filings by the respective insurers) and to maintain any pricing discounts or other preferential terms for both IR and Allegion for a reasonable term. Neither Party shall be liable for failure to obtain such insurance contracts, pricing discounts, or other preferential terms for the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for any additional premiums, charges, or administrative fees that such Party may incur pursuant to this Section 9.4.

As of the Allegion Severance Plan Adoption Date, (i) the Allegion Group Employees will no longer participate in the IR Major Restructuring Severance Plan and (ii) no member of the IR Group shall have any further Liability for, and Allegion shall indemnify each member of the IR Group, and the officers, directors, and employees of each member of the IR Group, and hold them harmless with respect to any and all Liabilities and obligations whatsoever with respect to, claims made by or with respect to any Allegion Group Employees or Former Allegion Group Employees in connection with the Allegion Major Restructuring Severance Plan, including such Liabilities relating to actions or omissions of or by any member of the Allegion Group or any officer, director, employee or agent thereof prior to, on or after the Allegion Severance Plan Adoption Date.

Section 12.2.Severance Arrangements, Plans, Policies and Guidelines. Effective as of the Transferred Group Adoption Date, a Transferred Group Entity shall establish severance arrangements, plans, policies or guidelines to be effective as of the Effective Time (“Allegion Severance Arrangements”) under which Allegion Group Employees who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, are participants in any IR severance arrangement, plan, policy or guideline, shall be eligible to participate immediately following the Effective Time. Effective as of the Effective Time, either the Transferred Group Entity shall remain the plan sponsor of Allegion Severance Arrangements or Allegion shall or shall cause another Allegion Entity to assume the Allegion Severance Arrangements. Such Allegion Severance Arrangements will provide terms and conditions (including severance benefits) for Allegion Group Employees who are severed from the Allegion Group following the Effective Time or Transfer Date, as the case may be, that are substantially similar to the terms and conditions (including severance benefits) provided under the applicable IR severance arrangements, plans, policies and guidelines (excluding any change in control severance plans or agreements) in which such Allegion Group Employees participated immediately prior to the Effective Time or such Transfer Date for a period not less than one year. For the avoidance of doubt, the Distribution and the assignment, transfer or continuation of the employment of Allegion Group Employees contemplated by Section 3.1 shall not be deemed a severance of employment for purposes of this Agreement and any IR severance arrangements, plans, policies or guidelines, and effective as of the Effective Time, Allegion Group Employees shall not be eligible to receive any severance or other benefits under any IR severance plans or policies.

Section 15.13.Severability.
