     RESTRICTED UNIT AGREEMENT made in Morris Township, New Jersey, as of the [DAY] day of [MONTH, YEAR] (the “Date of Grant”), between Honeywell International Inc. (the “Company”) and [DIRECTOR NAME].

1.     

Grant of Award. The Company has granted you [NUMBER] Restricted Units, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the 2006 Stock Plan For Non- Employee Directors of Honeywell International Inc. (the “Plan”). The Company will hold the Restricted Units in a bookkeeping account on your behalf until they become payable or are forfeited or cancelled.

   
2.     

Payment Amount. Each Restricted Unit and Additional Restricted Unit represents one (1) Share of Common Stock.

   
3.     

Vesting. Except in the event of your death, Disability, or a Change in Control, the restrictions on the Restricted Units and Additional Restricted Units will lapse and vest one hundred percent (100%) on the fifth anniversary of the Date of Grant.

   
 

Your vested right will be determined on the earliest of (a) the fifth (5th ) anniversary of the Date of Grant, (b) upon your death or Disability, or (c) the occurrence of a Change in Control. No partial credit will be given for partial years of service as a director.

   
4.     

Form and Timing of Payment. Vested Restricted Units and vested Additional Restricted Units will be redeemed solely for Shares unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Payment on vested Restricted Units and Additional Restricted Units will be made as soon as practicable following the lapse of the restrictions on the Restricted Units and Additional Restricted Units but in no event later than two and one-half (2-1/2) months following the end of the calendar year in which the restrictions lapse unless subject to a deferral of payment election as provided in Section 6. Any fractional Units shall be paid in cash.

   
5.     

Additional Restricted Units. In the case of cash dividends, the Company shall credit to your bookkeeping account, on each dividend payment date, an additional number of Restricted Units (“Additional Restricted Units”) equal to (a) divided by (b), where (a) equals the total number of unvested Restricted Units and Additional Restricted Units, if any, subject to this Agreement on such date multiplied by the dollar amount of the cash dividend paid per Share of Common Stock on such date, and (b) equals the Fair Market Value of a Share on such date.

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to permit deferral of payment in the manner requested provided that permission shall not be granted if the deferral would, within the determination of the Committee, result in a violation of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. If the Committee does not accept your proposed payment schedule, then payment will be made as provided in Section 4. You will earn Dividend Equivalents in an amount equal to the value of any cash or stock dividends paid by the Company upon one Share of Common Stock for each deferred Restricted Unit and Additional Restricted Unit that is credited to your bookkeeping account on a dividend record date.
