Honeywell International Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2005 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year 2005.

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; that is, the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30, respectively. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined “fiscal” calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were October 1, 2005 and October 2, 2004, respectively. Our fiscal closing calendar for the years 2000 through 2012 is available on our website at www.honeywell.com under the heading “Investor Relations”.

The financial information as of September 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2004.

NOTE 2.   In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123R) requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. The cost is to be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amends the required effective date for SFAS No. 123R. The new rule allows companies to adopt SFAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, instead of at the beginning of their first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We will adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 and currently expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will reduce 2006 diluted earnings per share by $0.08 to $0.10.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143”, (FIN 47), which provides clarification with respect to the timing of liability recognition for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets when the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We are currently assessing the impact of FIN 47 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3.   We account for our fixed stock option plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25). Under APB No. 25, there is no compensation cost recognized for our fixed stock option plans, because the options granted under these plans have an exercise

price equal to the market value of the underlying stock at the grant date. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), as amended, allows, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for fixed stock option plans using a fair value based method. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, we elected to continue to account for compensation cost for our fixed stock option plans using the intrinsic value based method under APB No. 25. See Note 2 for a discussion of recently issued rules regarding accounting for stock-based payments. The following table sets forth pro forma information as if compensation cost had been determined consistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 123.

NOTE 4.   On March 31, 2005, Honeywell declared its Offers for the entire issued and ordinary preference share capital of Novar plc (Novar) wholly unconditional and assumed control of Novar as of that date. The aggregate value of the Offers was approximately $2.4 billion (fully diluted for the exercise of all outstanding options), including the assumption of approximately $569 million of outstanding debt, net of cash. The payment for Novar’s share capital and the repayment of substantially all of Novar’s existing debt occurred during the second quarter of 2005 and was funded with our existing cash resources.

Novar had consolidated revenues of approximately $2.7 billion in 2004 and operates globally in three different businesses. Intelligent Building Systems (IBS) is a global business supplying electrical, electronic and control products and services to building operators, contractors and developers. The IBS business is being integrated into our Automation and Control Solutions segment and will enhance our offerings of security, fire and building controls products and services, particularly in the United Kingdom and Germany, and support our global growth of these businesses. Indalex Aluminum Solutions (Indalex) is a leading manufacturer of aluminum extrusions with a comprehensive network of plants across North America. Security Printing Services (Security Printing) is engaged in the printing of checks, other financial instruments, business forms and providing other check-related services for financial institutions, credit unions and their customers and members throughout the United States. We do not intend to hold the Indalex and Security Printing businesses in the long-term and are pursuing strategic alternatives for these businesses and, accordingly, these businesses have been classified as held for sale in our September 30, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet and as discontinued operations in our Statement of Operations for all periods presented. In September 2005, we reached a definitive agreement to sell Indalex to an affiliate of private investment firm Sun Capital Partners, Inc. The sale, which is subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005.

The purchase price for Novar, net of cash acquired, was approximately $1.7 billion. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired, including the reclassification of the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Indalex and Security Printing businesses to held for sale.

We allocated $261 million to other intangible assets (contractual customer relationships, existing technology and trademarks) based on preliminary valuation studies performed by third party valuation consultants. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from 5 to 15 years using straight-line and accelerated amortization methods. In addition, accrued liabilities include approximately $73 million of repositioning costs related to the integration of the Novar operations. The repositioning costs relate principally to severance costs for workforce reductions primarily in the IBS business and the former Novar corporate office. The workforce reductions are expected to be completed by June 30, 2006. The results of operations of Novar are included in the consolidated results of operations of Honeywell since the

acquisition date of March 31, 2005. The pro forma results for Honeywell for each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, assuming the acquisition had been made at the beginning of 2004, would not be materially different from reported results. During the third quarter of 2005, we made adjustments to the original fair value of assets and liabilities acquired resulting principally from our refinements of our analyses of receivables, inventories, property, plant and equipment and deferred taxes (including the preliminary valuation studies performed by third party valuation consultants). Such adjustments were not considered material. As of September 30, 2005, the purchase price allocation is still subject to final adjustment primarily for amounts allocated to other intangible assets which were based on preliminary valuation studies performed by third party valuation consultants. We expect to finalize the allocation of the purchase price for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by December 31, 2005.

The following table presents balance sheet information for the Indalex and Security Printing businesses acquired as part of the Novar transaction described above which are classified as held for sale in our September 30, 2005 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $116 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,931 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Aerospace reportable segment in connection with the implementation of a new organizational structure which reorganized our Aerospace businesses to better align with customer segments. The implementation of the new organizational structure was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2005. The repositioning charge also included severance costs for workforce reductions in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, during the third quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at our Specialty Materials reportable segment, were returned to income principally due to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs.

In the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $59 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,395 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions, Aerospace and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, during the second quarter of 2005, $8 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities was comprised primarily of excise taxes relating to an executive severance amount previously paid which were determined in the second quarter of 2005 to no longer be payable.

In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $34 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,340 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, during the first quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities relates primarily to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs and for severance amounts previously paid to an outside service provider as part of an outsourcing arrangement which were refunded to Honeywell in the first quarter of 2005.

In the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $40 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 866 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Specialty Materials and Automation and Control Solutions reportable segments. Also, $3 million of previously established accruals for severance were returned to income in the third quarter of 2004, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned

associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities in our Automation and Control Solutions and Corporate reportable segments.

In the second quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $41 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 761 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions, Transportation Systems and Aerospace reportable segments. Also, $16 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, were returned to income in the second quarter of 2004, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment.

In the first quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $22 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 587 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, $7 million of previously established accruals for severance and other exit costs were returned to income in the first quarter of 2004. Severance liabilities were reduced by $4 million mainly in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions. Other exit costs liabilities were reduced by $3 million related primarily to excess environmental remediation reserves for a closed facility in our Specialty Materials reportable segment.

In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $31 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a charge of $32 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the third quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 for further discussion of asbestos matters. We also recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held for sale in our Nylon business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We recognized a credit of $67 million in connection with an arbitration award for overcharges by a supplier of phenol to our Specialty Materials business from June 2003 through the end of 2004. The arbitrator also awarded Honeywell an additional $11.2 million of damages for overcharges in January through April 2005, which we will seek to confirm and have entered as a judgment in U.S. Federal Court. The arbitrator also found that the supplier has been in continuing breach of the supply agreement and indicated that additional damages will be awarded to Honeywell for damages since April 2005. An arbitration hearing on this issue is scheduled for November 2005.

In the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $64 million primarily for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a net credit of $20 million consisting of a reduction in the Bendix related net asbestos liability of $70 million related to an update of

 

 

12

 



expected resolution values with respect to claims pending as of June 30, 2005, partially offset by a charge of $50 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the second quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries, and for the write-off of a Bendix related insurance receivable. See Note 15 for further discussion of asbestos matters. We recognized an impairment charge of $18 million related principally to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held and used in our Chemicals business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We also recognized a charge of $10 million related to the modification of a lease agreement for the Corporate headquarters facility.

In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $37 million primarily for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We also recognized a charge of $34 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the first quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries. The asbestos related charge also included the net effect of a settlement of certain NARCO related pending asbestos claims, a Bendix related structured insurance settlement and write-offs of certain Bendix related insurance receivables. See Note 15 for further discussion of asbestos matters.

In the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $24 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the third quarter of 2004, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 for further discussion of asbestos matters. We recognized a charge of $25 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a charge of $14 million for legal settlements primarily related to property damage claims in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment. We also recognized a charge of $1 million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment.

In the second quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $161 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. This charge principally related to an increase in our estimate of design and study costs likely to be incurred during the pendency of our appeal of the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization, et al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al. and to estimated costs related to our decision in the second quarter of 2004 to seek a potential resolution of the principal issues in dispute in such matter. See Note 15 for further discussion. We recognized an impairment charge of $40 million related principally to the write-down of property, plant and equipment of our Performance Fibers business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment, which was classified as assets held for disposal as of June 30, 2004. We recognized a charge of $9 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the second quarter of 2004 including an update of expected resolution values with respect to claims pending as of June 30, 2004. The charge is net of probable Bendix related insurance recoveries and an additional $47 million of NARCO insurance deemed probable of recovery. See Note 15 for further discussion of asbestos matters. We also recognized a charge of $7 million principally for the write-off of property, plant and equipment.

In the first quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $30 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter, including liabilities for environmental conditions around Onondaga Lake in New York. We also recognized a charge of $11 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the first quarter of 2004, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 for further discussion of environmental and asbestos matters.

NOTE 6.   In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a pretax gain of $21 million (after-tax $13 million) for post-closing adjustments principally related to the

 

 

13

 



sales of our Performance Fibers and Security Monitoring businesses in the prior year.

In the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a pretax loss of $18 million (after-tax gain of $39 million) consisting of the pretax loss of $34 million related to the sale of our Industrial Wax business partially offset by a pretax gain of $16 million for post-closing adjustments related to the sale of our Performance Fibers business in the prior year. The after-tax gain on the sale of our Industrial Wax business is due to the higher tax basis than book basis.

In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a pretax gain of $8 million (after-tax $5 million) for post-closing adjustments related to the sale of our Security Monitoring business in the prior year.

In the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a pretax gain of $5 million (after-tax $3 million) for post-closing adjustments related to the sales of our Security Monitoring and VCSEL Optical Products businesses in prior quarters in 2004.

In the second quarter of 2004, we sold our Security Monitoring business for cash proceeds of approximately $315 million resulting in a pretax gain of $212 million. We also recognized a pretax gain of $21 million for post-closing adjustments related to businesses sold in prior periods. The total after-tax gain on these transactions was $130 million.

In the first quarter of 2004, we sold our VCSEL Optical Products business for cash proceeds of $74 million resulting in a pretax gain of $32 million (after-tax $14 million).

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes the effect of stock options when the options’ exercise prices exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005, the number of stock options not included in the computations were 17.3 and 18.0 million, respectively. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2004, the number of stock options not included in the computations were 32.4 and 41.4 million, respectively. These stock options were outstanding at the end of each of the respective periods.

NOTE 8.   In May 2005, the U.S. Treasury issued guidance clarifying certain provisions of The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) and, accordingly, during the second quarter of 2005 we were able to finalize our assessment of the Act and its impact on Honeywell. We determined that we would repatriate approximately $2.7 billion of foreign earnings during the remainder of 2005, of which $2.2 billion receives the benefit under the Act, with an estimated income tax provision of $155 million.

Effective December 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (FSP No. 106-2). FSP No. 106-2 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) for employers that sponsor postretirement health care plans that provide prescription drug coverage that is at least actuarially equivalent to that offered by Medicare Part D. The impact of the Act reduced other postretirement benefits expense by approximately $36 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This decrease in other postretirement benefits expense resulted from lower amortization of actuarial losses of approximately $27 million due to the effect of the actuarial gain experienced from the impact of the Act and from lower interest cost of approximately $9 million.

NOTE 15.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances are in accord with environmental and safety laws and regulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production of products containing toxic substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.

With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually or jointly with other potentially

 

 

18

 



responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques to address environmental matters. It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our accruals. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties.

Although we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined, they could be material to our consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that these environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

In February 2005, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization (ICO), et al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al., that a predecessor Honeywell site located in Jersey City, New Jersey constituted an imminent and substantial endangerment and ordered Honeywell to conduct the excavation and transport for offsite disposal of approximately one million tons of chromium residue present at the site. Provisions have been made in our financial statements for the cost of implementation of the excavation and offsite removal remedy, which is expected to take place over a five-year period. The cost of implementation is expected to be incurred evenly over that period. We do not expect implementation of this remedy to have a material adverse effect on our future consolidated results of operations, operating cash flows or financial position. On October 6, 2005, Honeywell filed a motion for relief in this matter seeking approval of an alternative remedy in which Honeywell would excavate approximately half of the chromium residue present at the site and encase the remaining material with a multi-media containment system that would fully protect human health and the environment. No assurances can be given at this time that Honeywell’s motion for relief will be granted.

The site at issue in the ICO matter is one of twenty-one sites located in Jersey City, New Jersey which are the subject of an Administrative Consent Order (ACO) entered into with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in 1993. Remedial investigations and activities consistent with the ACO are underway at the other sites (the “Honeywell ACO Sites”).

On May 3, 2005, NJDEP filed a lawsuit in New Jersey Superior Court against Honeywell and two other companies seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, unspecified damages, and the reimbursement of unspecified total costs relating to sites in New Jersey allegedly contaminated with chrome ore processing residue. The claims against Honeywell relate to the activities of a predecessor company which ceased its New Jersey manufacturing operations in the mid-1950s. While the complaint is not entirely clear, it appears that approximately 100 sites are at issue, including 17 of the Honeywell ACO Sites, approximately 32 sites at which

 

 

19

 



the other two companies have agreed to remediate under separate administrative consent orders, as well as approximately 53 other sites (identified in the complaint as the “Publicly Funded Sites”) for which none of the three companies have signed an administrative consent order. In addition to claims specific to each company, NJDEP claims that all three companies should be collectively liable for all the chrome sites based on a “market share” theory. In addition, NJDEP is seeking treble damages for all costs it has incurred or will incur at the Publicly Funded Sites. Honeywell has previously denied responsibility for the Publicly Funded Sites. Honeywell believes that it has no connection with either the sites covered by the other companies’ administrative consent orders or the Publicly Funded Sites and, therefore, we have no responsibility for those sites. At the Honeywell ACO Sites, we are conducting remedial investigations and activities consistent with the ACO; thus, we do not believe the lawsuit will significantly change our obligations with respect to the Honeywell ACO Sites. On October 5, 2005, the Hackensack Riverkeeper notified Honeywell and twelve property owners that it intended to initiate a lawsuit under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) seeking the cleanup of chromium residue on certain Honeywell ACO Sites. Under RCRA, such a lawsuit could not be initiated until 90 days after the delivery of the notice. For the reasons stated above, we do not believe this lawsuit, if initiated, would significantly change our obligations with respect to the Honeywell ACO Sites.

Although it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of matters described in the preceding paragraph, we believe that the allegations are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against these lawsuits. We do not expect these matters to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. While we expect to prevail, an adverse litigation outcome could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

In accordance with a 1992 consent decree with the State of New York, Honeywell is studying environmental conditions in and around Onondaga Lake (the Lake) in Syracuse, New York. The purpose of the study is to identify, evaluate and propose remedial measures that can be taken to remedy historic industrial contamination in the Lake. A predecessor company to Honeywell operated a chemical plant which is alleged to have contributed mercury and other contaminants to the Lake. In July 2005, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the DEC) issued its Record of Decision with respect to remediation of industrial contamination in the Lake.

The Record of Decision calls for a combined dredging/capping remedy generally in line with the approach recommended in the Feasibility Study submitted by Honeywell in May 2004 (the May 2004 Feasibility Study). Although the Record of Decision calls for additional remediation in certain parts of the Lake, it would not require the most extensive dredging alternatives described in the May 2004 Feasibility Study. The DEC’s aggregate cost estimate is based on the high end of the range of potential costs for major elements of the Record of Decision and includes a contingency. The actual cost of the Record of Decision will depend upon, among other things, the resolution of certain technical issues during the design phase of the remediation.

 

 

20

 



Based on currently available information and analysis performed by our engineering consultants, we have accrued for our estimated cost of implementing the remedy set forth in the Record of Decision. Our estimating process considered a range of possible outcomes and amounts recorded reflect our best estimate at this time. We do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position. Given the scope and complexity of this project, it is possible that actual costs could exceed estimated costs by an amount that could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. At this time, however, we cannot identify any legal, regulatory or technical reason to conclude that a specific alternative outcome is more probable than the outcome for which we have made provisions in our financial statements.

Asbestos Matters

Like many other industrial companies, Honeywell is a defendant in personal injury actions related to asbestos. We did not mine or produce asbestos, nor did we make or sell insulation products or other construction materials that have been identified as the primary cause of asbestos related disease in the vast majority of claimants. Products containing asbestos previously manufactured by Honeywell or by previously owned subsidiaries primarily fall into two general categories; refractory products and friction products.

Refractory Products Honeywell owned North American Refractories Company (NARCO) from 1979 to 1986. NARCO produced refractory products (high temperature bricks and cement) which were sold largely to the steel industry in the East and Midwest. Less than 2 percent of NARCO’s products contained asbestos.

When we sold the NARCO business in 1986, we agreed to indemnify NARCO with respect to personal injury claims for products that had been discontinued prior to the sale (as defined in the sale agreement). NARCO retained all liability for all other claims. NARCO had resolved approximately 176,000 claims through January 4, 2002, the date NARCO filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, at an average cost per claim of two thousand two hundred dollars. Of those claims, 43 percent were dismissed on the ground that there was insufficient evidence that NARCO was responsible for the claimant’s asbestos exposure. As of the date of NARCO’s bankruptcy filing, there were approximately 116,000 remaining claims pending against NARCO, including approximately 7 percent in which Honeywell was also named as a defendant based on alleged exposure to NARCO products. Since 1983, Honeywell and our insurers have contributed to the defense and settlement costs associated with NARCO claims.

As a result of the NARCO bankruptcy filing, all of the claims pending against NARCO are automatically stayed pending the reorganization of NARCO. Because the claims pending against Honeywell necessarily will impact the liabilities of NARCO, because the insurance policies held by Honeywell are essential to a successful NARCO reorganization, and because Honeywell has offered to commit the value of those policies to the reorganization, the bankruptcy court has temporarily enjoined any claims against Honeywell, current or future, related to NARCO, except one claim which is not material as to which the stay was lifted in August 2003. Although the stay has remained in effect continuously since January 4, 2002, there is no assurance that such stay will remain in effect. In connection with NARCO’s bankruptcy filing, we paid NARCO’s parent company $40 million and agreed to provide NARCO with up to $20 million in financing. We also agreed to pay $20 million to NARCO’s parent company upon the filing of a plan of reorganization for NARCO acceptable to Honeywell, and to pay NARCO’s parent company $40 million, and to forgive any outstanding NARCO indebtedness, upon the confirmation and consummation, respectively, of such a plan.

As a result of negotiations with counsel representing NARCO related asbestos claimants regarding settlement of all pending and potential NARCO related asbestos claims against Honeywell, we have reached definitive agreements

with approximately 260,000 claimants, which represents in excess of 90 percent of the anticipated current claimants who are expected to file a claim as part of the NARCO reorganization process. We are also in discussions with the NARCO Committee of Asbestos Creditors and the Court-appointed legal representative for future asbestos claimants on Trust Distribution Procedures for NARCO. We believe that, as part of the NARCO plan of reorganization, a trust will be established pursuant to these Trust Distribution Procedures for the benefit of all asbestos claimants, current and future. If the trust is put in place and approved by the Court as fair and equitable, Honeywell as well as NARCO will be entitled to a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO products to be made against the federally-supervised trust. NARCO filed its amended proposed plan of reorganization on September 15, 2005. A hearing on the proposed Disclosure Statement for the plan is set for November 30, 2005. We now expect the NARCO plan of reorganization and the NARCO trust to be approved by the Court in 2006. As part of its ongoing settlement negotiations, Honeywell has reached agreement with the representative for future NARCO claimants and the Asbestos Claimants Committee to cap its annual contributions to the trust with respect to future claims at a level that would not have a material impact on Honeywell’s operating cash flows. Given the substantial progress of negotiations between Honeywell and NARCO related asbestos claimants and between Honeywell and the Asbestos Claimants Committee during the fourth quarter of 2002, Honeywell developed an estimated liability for settlement of pending and future asbestos claims and recorded a charge of $1.4 billion for NARCO related asbestos litigation charges, net of insurance recoveries. This charge consisted of the estimated liability to settle current asbestos related claims, the estimated liability related to future asbestos related claims through 2018 and obligations to NARCO’s parent, net of insurance recoveries of $1.8 billion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized a charge of approximately $52 million to reflect a settlement of certain pending asbestos claims during the period.

The estimated liability for current claims is based on terms and conditions, including evidentiary requirements, in definitive agreements with in excess of 90 percent of current claimants. Substantially all settlement payments with respect to current claims are expected to be made by the end of 2007.

The liability for future claims estimates the probable value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against NARCO through 2018 and obligations to NARCO’s parent as discussed above. The estimate is based upon the disease criteria and payment values contained in the NARCO Trust Distribution Procedures negotiated with the NARCO Asbestos Claimants Committee and the NARCO future claimants’ representative. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond 2018 under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5. Honeywell retained the expert services of Hamilton, Rabinovitz and Alschuler, Inc. (HR&A) to project the probable number and value, including trust claim handling costs, of asbestos related future liabilities based upon historical experience with similar trusts. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims has been commonly accepted by numerous courts and is the same methodology that is utilized by an expert who is routinely retained by the asbestos claimants committee in asbestos related bankruptcies. The valuation methodology includes an analysis of the population likely to have been exposed to asbestos containing products, epidemiological studies to estimate the number of people likely to develop asbestos related diseases, NARCO claims filing history, the pending inventory of NARCO asbestos related claims and payment rates expected to be established by the NARCO trust.

Honeywell has approximately $1.2 billion in insurance limits remaining that reimburses it for portions of the costs incurred to settle NARCO related claims

and court judgments as well as defense costs. This coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. At September 30, 2005, a significant portion of this coverage is with insurance companies with whom we have agreements to pay full policy limits based on corresponding Honeywell claims costs. This includes agreements with a substantial majority of the London-based insurance companies entered into primarily in the first quarter of 2004. We conduct analyses to determine the amount of insurance that we estimate is probable that we will recover in relation to payment of current and projected future claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. In the second quarter of 2004, based on our ongoing evaluation of our ability to enforce our rights under the various insurance policies, we concluded that we had additional probable insurance recoveries of $47 million, net of solvency reserves, which has been reflected in insurance receivables. We made judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings with our insurers, our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers and various judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs.

Projecting future events is subject to many uncertainties that could cause the NARCO related asbestos liabilities to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. There is no assurance that a plan of reorganization will be confirmed, that insurance recoveries will be timely or whether there will be any NARCO related asbestos claims beyond 2018. Given the inherent uncertainty in predicting future events, we review our estimates periodically, and update them based on our experience and other relevant factors. Similarly we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other developments that may impact insurance recoveries.

Friction ProductsHoneywell’s Bendix Friction Materials (Bendix) business manufactured automotive brake pads that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. There is a group of existing and potential claimants consisting largely of individuals that allege to have performed brake replacements.

From 1981 through September 30, 2005, we have resolved approximately 74,000 Bendix related asbestos claims including trials covering 120 plaintiffs, which resulted in 115 favorable verdicts. Trials covering five individuals resulted in adverse verdicts; however, two of these verdicts were reversed on appeal and the remaining three claims were settled. The following tables present information regarding Bendix related asbestos claims activity:

Approximately 30 percent of the approximately 79,000 pending claims at September 30, 2005 are on the inactive, deferred, or similar dockets established in some jurisdictions for claimants who allege minimal or no impairment. The approximately 79,000 pending claims also include claims filed in jurisdictions such as Texas, Virginia and Mississippi that historically allowed for consolidated filings. In these jurisdictions, plaintiffs were permitted to file complaints against a pre-determined master list of defendants, regardless of whether they have claims against each individual defendant. Many of these plaintiffs may not actually have claims against Honeywell. Based on state rules and prior experience in these jurisdictions, we anticipate that many of these claims will ultimately be dismissed. Honeywell has experienced average resolution values excluding legal costs as follows:

It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

We have accrued for the estimated cost of pending Bendix related asbestos claims. The estimate is based on the number of pending claims at September 30, 2005, disease classifications, expected settlement values and historic dismissal rates. Honeywell retained the expert services of HR&A (see discussion of HR&A under Refractory products above) to assist in developing the estimated expected settlement values and historic dismissal rates. HR&A updates expected settlement values for pending claims during the second quarter each year. Such update resulted in a reduction in the Bendix related net asbestos liability of $70 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005. We cannot reasonably estimate losses which could arise from future Bendix related asbestos claims because we cannot predict how many additional claims may be brought against us, the allegations in such claims or their probable outcomes and resulting settlement values in the tort system.

Honeywell currently has approximately $1.9 billion of insurance coverage remaining with respect to pending and potential future Bendix related asbestos claims. This coverage is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the liability for the estimated value of the underlying asbestos claims. The amount of the insurance receivable recorded is based on our ongoing analysis of the insurance that we estimate is probable of recovery. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, our interpretation of judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers. Insurance receivables are also recorded when structured insurance settlements provide for future fixed payment streams that are not contingent upon future claims or other

 

 

24

 



events. Such amounts are recorded at the net present value of the fixed payment stream.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we entered into a structured insurance settlement which converted policies into future fixed, non-contingent payment streams, resulting in a gain of approximately $160 million. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized charges of approximately $131 million for write-offs of certain amounts due from insurance carriers. At September 30, 2005, we had amounts receivable from our insurers of approximately $384 million representing probable reimbursements associated with our liability for pending claims and previously settled and paid claims, and for amounts due under negotiated fixed payment streams.

On a cumulative historical basis, Honeywell has recorded insurance receivables equal to approximately 50 percent of the value of the underlying asbestos claims recorded. However, because there are gaps in our coverage due to insurance company insolvencies, certain uninsured periods, and insurance settlements, this rate is expected to decline for any future Bendix related asbestos liabilities that may be recorded. Future recoverability rates may also be impacted by numerous other factors, such as future insurance settlements, insolvencies and judicial determinations relevant to our coverage program, which are difficult to predict. Assuming continued defense and indemnity spending at current levels, we estimate that the cumulative recoverability rate could decline over the next five years to approximately 40 percent.

Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and reserves to cover all pending Bendix related asbestos claims. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of pending claims or to reasonably estimate losses which could arise from future Bendix related asbestos claims, we do not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average indemnity cost of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid (collectively, the “Variable Claims Factors”) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not substantially change.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we paid $418 million in indemnity and defense costs related to NARCO and Bendix claims and received $110 million of asbestos related insurance recoveries. We also recognized a charge of $116 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the first nine months of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries. The asbestos related charge also included the net effect of a settlement of certain NARCO related pending asbestos claims, a Bendix related structured insurance settlement and write-offs of certain Bendix related insurance receivables.

 

 

25

 



Additionally, during the second quarter of 2005 we reduced the Bendix related net asbestos liability by $70 million related to an update of expected resolution values with respect to claims pending as of June 30, 2005.

We are monitoring proposals for federal asbestos legislation pending in the United States Congress. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the proposed legislation, it is not possible at this point in time to determine what impact such legislation would have on the NARCO bankruptcy strategy or our asbestos liabilities and related insurance recoveries.

Other Matters

Breed Technologies Inc. v. AlliedSignal — Plaintiff alleges fraud in connection with AlliedSignal’s October 1997 sale of its safety restraints business to Breed and alleges that the transaction constituted a fraudulent transfer. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages of up to $710 million and punitive damages. Trial is scheduled for January 2006 in Florida state court. We believe plaintiff’s claims are without merit and expect to prevail in this matter. Accordingly, we do not believe that a liability is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable and have not made provision for this matter in our financial statements. Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is not possible to estimate the range of possible loss that might result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

Allen, et. al. v. Honeywell Retirement Earnings Plan — A purported class action lawsuit in which plaintiffs seek unspecified damages relating to allegations that, among other things, Honeywell impermissibly reduced the pension benefits of employees of Garrett Corporation (a predecessor entity) when the plan was amended in 1983 and failed to calculate certain benefits in accordance with the terms of the plan. In the third quarter of 2005, the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on these claims and in favor of Honeywell on virtually all other claims. We strongly disagree with, and intend to appeal, the Court’s adverse ruling. No class has yet been certified by the Court in this matter. In light of the merits of our arguments on appeal and substantial affirmative defenses which have not yet been considered by the Court, we continue to expect to prevail in this matter. Accordingly, we do not believe that a liability is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable and have not made provision for this matter in our financial statements. Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, it is not possible to estimate the range of possible loss that might result from an adverse resolution of this matter.

Although we expect to prevail in the Breed and Allen matters discussed above, an adverse outcome in either matter could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. We do not believe that an adverse outcome in either matter would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, and health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses, based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.

Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation, we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of the range of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters. Considering our past experience and

 

 

26

 



existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Warranties and Guarantees

As disclosed in Note 21 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have issued or are a party to certain direct and indirect guarantees. As of September 30, 2005, there has been no material change to these guarantees.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners
of Honeywell International Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Honeywell International Inc. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statement of operations for each of the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of shareowners’ equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended, management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004 and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004; and in our report dated February 25, 2005, we expressed unqualified opinions thereon. The consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting referred to above are not presented herein. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

The decrease in OPEB expense resulted principally from the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion. Pension expense increased by $2 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 principally due to pension expense for Novar.

The effective tax rate increased by 2.6 percentage points in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due principally to a higher effective tax rate on environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges in the prior year’s third quarter.

Excluding the impact of gains on sales of non-strategic businesses and environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges, the effective tax rate in both periods was 26.5 percent. This rate was lower than the statutory rate of 35 percent due in part to tax benefits from export sales and foreign taxes.

Aerospace sales increased by 6 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due primarily to higher volumes. Details by customer end-markets driving the increase in sales are as follows:

 

Air transport aftermarket sales improved slightly in 2005 as the impact of a 9 percent increase in global flying hours was largely offset by the absence of upgrades and retrofits of avionics equipment experienced in the prior year to meet certain mandated regulatory standards.

 

Air transport original equipment (OE) sales increased in 2005 primarily reflecting higher aircraft production rates by our OE customers.

 

Regional transport aftermarket sales decreased in 2005 due primarily to the removal from service of old turboprop aircraft for more efficient replacements and the related decline in spare parts sales and the absence of upgrades and retrofits of avionics equipment experienced in the prior year to meet certain mandated regulatory standards. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in flying hours by regional carriers.

 

Business and general aviation aftermarket sales were higher in 2005 primarily driven by an increase in scheduled maintenance events, an increasing number of aircraft coming off new delivery warranties and an increase in retrofit sales.

 

Business and general aviation OE sales improved in 2005 due primarily to deliveries of the Primus Epic integrated avionics system and the HTF7000 engine to business jet OE manufacturers.

 

Defense and space aftermarket sales were lower in 2005 principally due to a decline in war-related activities resulting in lower replenishment demand from the U.S. military.

 

Defense and space OE sales were higher in 2005 due principally to an increase in platform upgrades, engineering sales and intellectual property enforcement revenues.

Aerospace segment profit increased by 16 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due primarily to volume growth mainly in our commercial OE customer end-markets, price increases and an increase in intellectual property enforcement income partially offset by write-offs of receivables from airlines in bankruptcy.

Automation and Control Solutions sales increased by 23 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due to acquisitions (mainly Novar’s Intelligent Business Systems (IBS) business) of 19 percent, higher volumes of 3 percent and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent. Sales increased by 32 percent for our Automation and Control Products businesses driven principally by the acquisition of Novar’s IBS business. Volume growth and acquisitions in our security and life safety products businesses also contributed to the increase in sales. Sales for our Building Solutions business increased by 15 percent due primarily to the acquisition of Novar’s IBS business and growth in service and energy retrofits. Sales for our Process Solutions business increased by 5 percent principally due to an acquisition and the favorable effect of foreign exchange.

Automation and Control Solutions segment profit increased by 28 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due principally to the favorable effects of productivity actions, acquisitions (mainly IBS) and higher sales volumes.

Specialty Materials sales decreased by 12 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due to divestitures of 18 percent (Performance Fibers and Industrial Wax businesses) and lower volumes of 1 percent, partially offset by the impact of higher prices of 7 percent (mainly in our Nylon and Chemicals businesses). Sales for our Nylon business increased by 11 percent driven by price increases partially offset by lower volumes. Sales for our Chemicals business improved by 8 percent principally driven by price increases for our non-ozone depleting HFC products for refrigeration and air conditioning applications, as well as higher volumes for our blowing agents for insulation applications.

Specialty Materials segment profit increased by 53 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due principally to price increases partially offset by higher raw material costs (principally natural gas), and the impact of Hurricane Katrina on our Geismar and Baton Rouge, Louisiana plants in our Chemicals business. In addition, Hurricane Rita disrupted operations at our Orange, Texas Performance Products facility, which we

anticipate will have some negative impact on our fourth quarter 2005 segment profit.

Transportation Systems sales were basically flat in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 as the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent was offset by lower volumes of 1 percent. Sales for our Turbo Technologies business were flat principally due to a shift in consumer demand in Europe among automotive platforms and slightly lower light vehicle production in Europe offset by continued strength in the North American truck segment. Sales for our Consumer Products Group business increased by 1 percent due primarily to higher prices.

Transportation Systems segment profit decreased by 12 percent in the third quarter of 2005 compared with the third quarter of 2004 due primarily to higher raw material costs (mostly steel and other metals in each of the segment’s businesses), unfavorable sales mix primarily in our Turbo Technologies business and the operational costs associated with our exit from Friction Materials’ North American original equipment business, partially offset by the favorable effect of productivity actions.

$(59)

 

 

 


OPEB and pension expense decreased by $47 and $12 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004. The decrease in OPEB expense resulted principally from the effect of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. See Note 14 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion. The decrease in pension expense was due principally to a decrease in the amortization of unrecognized losses as actual plan asset returns were higher than the expected rate of return in 2003 and 2004 partially offset by pension expense for Novar.

Gain on sale of non-strategic businesses of $11 million in the first nine months of 2005 represents pretax gains totaling $45 million for post-closing adjustments related to the sales of our Performance Fibers, Security Monitoring and other businesses in the prior year, partially offset by a pretax loss of $34 million related to the sale of our Industrial Wax business in the second quarter of 2005. Gain on sale of non-strategic businesses of $270 million in the first nine months of 2004 represented the pretax gains on the sales of our Security Monitoring and VCSEL Optical Products businesses of $215 and $34 million, respectively, and post-closing adjustments of $21 million related to businesses sold in prior periods.

The effective tax rate increased by 5.7 percentage points in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due principally to the estimated tax impact of our decision to repatriate approximately $2.7 billion of foreign earnings, of which $2.2 billion receives the benefit under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Excluding this item and the impact of gains and losses on sales of non-strategic businesses in both periods, our effective tax rate in the first nine months of 2005 increased by 3.2 percentage points compared with the first nine months of 2004. This increase is due principally to a higher effective tax rate on environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges in the prior year’s first nine months.

 

 

37

 



Excluding the impact of cash repatriation, gains and losses on sales of non-strategic businesses and environmental, litigation, net repositioning and other charges, the effective tax rate in both periods was 26.5 percent. This rate was lower than the statutory rate of 35 percent due in part to tax benefits from export sales and foreign taxes.

Aerospace sales increased by 8 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to higher volumes. Details by customer end-markets driving the increase in sales are as follows:

 

Air transport aftermarket sales improved in 2005 primarily related to a 7.5 percent increase in global flying hours.

 

Air transport original equipment (OE) sales increased in 2005 primarily reflecting higher aircraft production rates by our OE customers.

 

Business and general aviation aftermarket sales were higher in 2005 primarily driven by an increase in scheduled maintenance events, an increasing number of aircraft coming off new delivery warranties, and an increase in retrofits principally to meet certain mandated regulatory standards.

 

Business and general aviation OE sales improved in 2005 due primarily to deliveries of the Primus Epic integrated avionics system and the HTF7000 engine to business jet OE manufacturers.

 

Defense and space OE sales were higher in 2005 as an increase related to platform upgrades was partially offset by lower engineering sales.

Aerospace segment profit increased by 17 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to volume growth.

Automation and Control Solutions sales increased by 15 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due to acquisitions (mainly Novar’s IBS business), net of divestitures, of 12 percent, the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 2 percent and higher volumes of 2 percent partially offset by the impact of lower prices of 1 percent. Sales increased by 23 percent for our Automation and Control Products businesses driven principally by the acquisition of Novar’s IBS business. The increase was also due primarily to volume growth and acquisitions in our security and life safety products businesses. Sales for our Building Solutions business increased by 8 percent due primarily to the acquisition of Novar’s IBS business and growth in service and energy retrofits partially offset by the divestiture of our Security Monitoring business in the prior year. Sales for our Process Solutions business increased by 4 percent primarily due to an acquisition and the favorable effect of foreign exchange.

Automation and Control Solutions segment profit increased by 17 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 as the favorable effects of productivity actions, acquisitions (mainly IBS) and higher sales volume more than offset the unfavorable effects of lower prices and investments in sales and marketing initiatives.

Specialty Materials sales decreased by 10 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due to divestitures of 14 percent (Performance Fibers and Industrial Wax businesses) and lower volumes of 5 percent, partially offset by the impact of higher prices of 8 percent (mainly in our Nylon and Chemicals businesses) and the favorable effect of foreign exchange of 1 percent. Sales for our Nylon business increased by 12 percent driven by price increases and favorable sales mix. Sales for our Chemicals business improved by 7 percent principally driven by price increases and demand for our refrigerant products. Sales for our Electronic Materials business decreased by 6 percent driven by lower volumes due to market softness in the semiconductor industry. Sales for our Performance Products business also decreased by 6 percent primarily driven by lower volumes in our specialty films business.

Specialty Materials segment profit increased by 42 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due principally to price increases and the favorable effect of productivity actions partially offset by higher raw material costs (principally natural gas and benzene) and lower sales volumes.

Sales for our Turbo Technologies business increased by 10 percent due to a favorable sales mix and volume growth and the favorable effect of foreign exchange. The favorable sales mix and volume growth were driven by continued strength in the North American truck segment and increased diesel penetration in Europe, partially offset by a shift in consumer demand in Europe among automotive platforms and slightly lower light vehicle production in Europe. Sales for our Consumer Products Group business increased by 6 percent largely due to higher prices (primarily ethylene glycol).

Transportation Systems segment profit increased by 2 percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to the impact of higher prices and productivity actions partially offset by higher raw material costs (mostly steel and other metals in each of the segment’s businesses).

In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $116 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,931 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Aerospace reportable segment in connection with the implementation of a new organizational structure which reorganized our Aerospace businesses to better align with customer segments. The implementation of the new organizational structure was substantially completed in the third quarter of 2005. The repositioning charge also included severance costs for workforce reductions in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, during the third quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at our Specialty Materials reportable segment, were returned to income principally due to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs.

In the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $59 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,395 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions, Aerospace and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, during the second quarter of 2005, $8 million of previously established

 

 

43

 



accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities was comprised primarily of excise taxes relating to an executive severance amount previously paid which were determined in the second quarter of 2005 to no longer be payable.

In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a repositioning charge of $34 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 1,340 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our reportable segments. Also, during the first quarter of 2005, $6 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at Corporate, were returned to income. The reversal of severance liabilities relates primarily to changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs and for severance amounts previously paid to an outside service provider as part of an outsourcing arrangement which were refunded to Honeywell in the first quarter of 2005.

In the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $40 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 866 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Specialty Materials and Automation and Control Solutions reportable segments. Also, $3 million of previously established accruals for severance were returned to income in the third quarter of 2004, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities in our Automation and Control Solutions and Corporate reportable segments.

In the second quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $41 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 761 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions, Transportation Systems and Aerospace reportable segments. Also, $16 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, were returned to income in the second quarter of 2004, due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions, resulting in reduced severance liabilities in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment.

In the first quarter of 2004, we recognized a repositioning charge of $22 million primarily for severance costs related to workforce reductions of 587 manufacturing and administrative positions principally in our Automation and Control Solutions and Transportation Systems reportable segments. Also, $7 million of previously established accruals for severance and other exit costs were returned to income in the first quarter of 2004. Severance liabilities were reduced by $4 million mainly in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with certain prior repositioning actions. Other exit costs liabilities were reduced by $3 million related primarily to excess environmental remediation reserves for a closed facility in our Specialty Materials reportable segment.

The 2004 and 2005 repositioning actions will generate incremental pretax savings of approximately $120 million in 2005 compared with 2004 principally from planned workforce reductions. Cash spending for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions were $105 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and were funded through operating cash flows. Cash spending for severance and other exit costs necessary to execute these actions will approximate $150 million in 2005 and will be funded primarily though operating cash flows.

In the third quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $31 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a charge of $32 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the third quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of

 

 

44

 



asbestos matters. We also recognized an impairment charge of $4 million related to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held for sale in our Nylon business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We recognized a credit of $67 million in connection with an arbitration award for overcharges by a supplier of phenol to our Specialty Materials business from June 2003 through the end of 2004. The arbitrator also awarded Honeywell an additional $11.2 million of damages for overcharges in January through April 2005, which we will seek to confirm and have entered as a judgment in U.S. Federal Court. The arbitrator also found that the supplier has been in continuing breach of the supply agreement and indicated that additional damages will be awarded to Honeywell for damages since April 2005. An arbitration hearing on this issue is scheduled for November 2005.

In the second quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $64 million primarily for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a net credit of $20 million consisting of a reduction in the Bendix related net asbestos liability of $70 million related to an update of expected resolution values with respect to claims pending as of June 30, 2005, partially offset by a charge of $50 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the second quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries, and for the write-off of a Bendix related insurance receivable. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of asbestos matters. We recognized an impairment charge of $18 million related principally to the write-down of property, plant and equipment held and used in our Chemicals business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment. We also recognized a charge of $10 million related to the modification of a lease agreement for the Corporate headquarters facility.

In the first quarter of 2005, we recognized a charge of $37 million primarily for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We also recognized a charge of $34 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the first quarter of 2005, net of probable insurance recoveries. The asbestos related charge also included the net effect of a settlement of certain NARCO related pending asbestos claims, a Bendix related structured insurance settlement and write-offs of certain Bendix related insurance receivables. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of asbestos matters.

In the third quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $24 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the third quarter of 2004, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of asbestos matters. We recognized a charge of $25 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. We recognized a charge of $14 million for legal settlements primarily related to property damage claims in our Automation and Control Solutions reportable segment. We also recognized a charge of $1 million for the write-off of property, plant and equipment.

In the second quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $161 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter. This charge principally related to an increase in our estimate of design and study costs likely to be incurred during the pendency of our appeal of the matter entitled Interfaith Community Organization, et al. v. Honeywell International Inc., et al. and to estimated costs related to our decision in the second quarter of 2004 to seek a potential resolution of the principal issues in dispute in such matter. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion. We recognized an impairment charge of $40 million related principally to the write-down of property, plant and equipment of our Performance Fibers business in our Specialty Materials reportable segment, which was classified as assets held for disposal as of June 30, 2004. We recognized a charge of $9 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the second quarter of 2004 including

 

 

45

 



an update of expected resolution values with respect to claims pending as of June 30, 2004. The charge is net of probable Bendix related insurance recoveries and an additional $47 million of NARCO insurance deemed probable of recovery. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of asbestos matters. We also recognized a charge of $7 million principally for the write-off of property, plant and equipment.

In the first quarter of 2004, we recognized a charge of $30 million for environmental liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable in the quarter, including liabilities for environmental conditions around Onondaga Lake in New York. We also recognized a charge of $11 million for Bendix related asbestos claims filed and defense costs incurred during the first quarter of 2004, net of probable insurance recoveries. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of environmental and asbestos matters.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow Summary

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $116 million during the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to increased earnings, dividends received from UOP, and a decrease in asbestos liability payments, net of insurance receipts, of $55 million partially offset by an increase in working capital usage of $216 million driven primarily by higher sales.

We made asbestos related payments of $418 million, including legal fees, in the first nine months of 2005 and expect to make additional asbestos related payments of approximately $274 million during the remainder of 2005. This estimate is based on our experience in the first nine months of 2005 regarding the timing of submissions of required evidential data by plaintiff firms. We had $110 million of asbestos related insurance recoveries during the first nine months of 2005. We expect to receive approximately $74 million in asbestos related insurance recoveries during the remainder of 2005. These cash flow projections are consistent with our existing asbestos reserves and anticipated insurance recoveries for asbestos related liabilities. See Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion of asbestos matters.

Cash used for investing activities increased by $1,918 million during the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to an increase in spending for acquisitions of $1,827 million (primarily Novar and Zellweger) and lower proceeds from the sales of businesses of $356 million as the prior year included the proceeds from the dispositions of our Security Monitoring and VCSEL Optical Products businesses, and higher capital spending of $53 million. The increase in cash used for investing activities was

 

 

46

 



partially offset by an increase in proceeds of $205 million from maturities of investment securities and from cash of $86 million obtained in connection with the acquisition of Novar.

We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade our combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify business units that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These business units are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints.

Cash used for financing activities increased by $717 million during the first nine months of 2005 compared with the first nine months of 2004 due primarily to higher net debt payments of $507 million principally related to the repayment of debt assumed in the Novar acquisition and an increase in repurchases of common stock of $237 million. In light of market conditions, during the third quarter of 2005, we repurchased common stock to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans, including some or all of anticipated 2006 dilution. Total debt of $5,410 million at September 30, 2005 was $137 million, or 3 percent higher than at December 31, 2004 principally due to higher commercial paper borrowings.

Liquidity

See our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our liquidity. As of September 30, 2005, except for the acquisition of Novar which is described in detail in Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements, there have been no material changes in our liquidity. The payment for Novar’s share capital of approximately $1.7 billion and the repayment of substantially all of Novar’s existing debt of approximately $700 million occurred in the second quarter of 2005 and was funded with our existing cash resources. The Indalex and Security Printing businesses acquired as part of the Novar transaction are expected to be sold later in 2005 for aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.0 to $1.5 billion. In September 2005, we reached a definitive agreement to sell Indalex to an affiliate of private investment firm Sun Capital Partners, Inc. for approximately $425 million in cash. The sale, which is subject to regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005. In October 2005, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the 50 percent interest in UOP currently owned by Union Carbide Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, giving Honeywell full ownership of the entity. The purchase of UOP, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005. We will pay $825 million for Dow’s stake in UOP, with an adjustment for cash and outstanding debt in the venture at the closing date. We expect to fund the acquisition of UOP with our existing cash resources and fourth quarter 2005 cash flows.

By mid-October 2005, we had repatriated approximately $1.9 billion of foreign earnings under the provisions of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. In July 2005, Moody’s Investors Service affirmed its corporate rating on our long-term and short-term debt of A2 and P-1, respectively, and changed the ratings outlook to “stable” from “negative”.

OTHER MATTERS

Litigation

We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers Accounting for Pensions” requires recognition of an additional minimum pension liability if the fair value of plan assets is less than the accumulated benefit obligation at December 31, 2005 (the end of the plan year). Assuming interest rates and plan asset returns remain essentially unchanged in the 2005 fourth quarter from the 2005 third quarter and we make no contributions to the plan, we would be required to increase our Additional Minimum Pension Liability which would result in a decrease in Accumulated Other Nonowner Changes within Shareowners’ Equity of approximately $1.0 billion after-tax at December 31, 2005. The actual amount of required adjustment, if any, remains highly dependent upon the market conditions at December 31, 2005 and the required adjustment could be significantly higher or lower than this amount.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

See our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A). As of September 30, 2005, there has been no material change in this information.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Honeywell management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to Honeywell required to be included in Honeywell’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act. There have been no changes that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

General Legal Matters

We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters in Note 15 of Notes to Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters Involving Potential Monetary Sanctions

in Excess of $100,000

As previously reported, three incidents occurred during 2003 at Honeywell’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana chemical plant, including a release of chlorine, a release of antimony pentachloride which resulted in an employee fatality, and an employee exposure to hydrofluoric acid. Honeywell has been served with several civil lawsuits regarding these incidents, for which we believe we have adequate insurance coverage. In addition, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) are conducting investigations of these incidents, including a federal grand jury convened to investigate the employee fatality. Honeywell has been informed by the USDOJ that it is a potential target of the grand jury investigation. If we are ultimately charged with wrongdoing, the Baton Rouge facility could be deemed ineligible to supply products or services under government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. Although the outcome of this matter cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that it will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

Honeywell is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office on behalf of the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). The complaint alleges various environmental violations and failure to make required disclosures. Honeywell believes that the allegations in this matter are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit. In September 2004, the Court partially dismissed several of the ADEQ’s significant allegations. In any event, we do not believe that this matter could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

(amended and restated effective January 1, 2006,

with amendments effective January 1, 2005)

History.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Supplemental Non-Qualified Savings Plan For Highly Compensated Employees Of Honeywell International Inc. And Its Subsidiaries (Career Band 5 and Below) (the “Supplemental Savings Plan”) was merged with and into the Supplemental Non-Qualified Savings Plan for Highly Compensated Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its Subsidiaries (Career Band 6 and above) (the “Executive Supplemental Savings Plan”), and the resulting plan shall be known as the Supplemental Non-Qualified Savings Plan for Highly Compensated Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its Subsidiaries (the “Plan”).

Effective January 1, 2005, the terms of the Supplemental Savings Plan, the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan and the Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any corresponding rules and regulations promulgated under that Section. As such, Honeywell International Inc. (the “Corporation”) reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A.

Definitions

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in the Plan have the respective meanings set forth in the applicable Qualified Savings Plans.

3.

Participation

(a) Time and Form of Election.

Effective for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, an eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan or the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan, as applicable (a “Participant”) by filing a timely written or electronic deferral election with the Plan Administrator (as defined in Section 10(a)) for the applicable plan year. Such election shall direct that a portion (determined in accordance with paragraph 4(a)) of the base annual salary exclusive of shift differentials, overtime or other premium pay, bonus, incentive or other extra compensation, but inclusive of severance pay for participants whose last day of active employment with the Corporation and its affiliates occurs before July 1, 2005 (unless otherwise specifically excluded by the severance pay plan) or salary deferred for the plan year under this Plan or the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan, as applicable, or otherwise (“Base Annual Salary”), which would have been payable to such Participant during such plan year, in lieu of such payment, be credited to a deferred compensation account maintained under the Plan as an unfunded book entry stated as a cash balance (the “Participant’s Account”).

As permitted by IRS Notice 2005-1, an eligible employee who made no election during the Open Enrollment Period for the 2005 plan year was permitted to file a deferral election with the Plan Administrator (as defined in Section 10(a)) for the 2005 plan year during a second Open Enrollment Period that began no earlier than January 1, 2005 and ended no later than March 15, 2005. Such election was effective only for Base Annual Salary paid for services performed after the election was filed.

Amounts so credited to the Participant’s Account shall constitute “Participant Deferred Contributions.”

A new employee of the Corporation or a participating subsidiary who is employed in Career Band 6 or above may become a participant in the Plan by filing with the Plan Administrator (as defined in Section 10(a)) a timely written deferral election that complies with the first paragraph above no later than 30 days after such employee is first eligible to participate in the Plan. Such election may only apply to Base Annual Salary paid for services to be performed after the election is filed.

(b) Change of Amount Deferred. Except as otherwise may be permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the Corporation, for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, a Participant may not modify his deferral election at any time during the plan year.

 

 



4.

Contributions to Participants’ Accounts

(a) Participant Deferred Contributions. For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, a Participant may elect to defer an aggregate amount equal to (1) the difference between the maximum percentage of Base Annual Salary that the Participant may contribute for the plan year as Before-Tax Contributions under the Qualified Savings Plans (8% for 2006), without regard to any other limitations which may apply under the Code, and the actual Before-Tax Contributions the Participant contributes to the Qualified Savings Plans for the plan year, or (2) the difference between a full percentage of such Participant’s Base Annual Salary from 1% to 35%, without regard to any other limitations which may apply under the Code, and the full amount of Before-Tax Contributions and After-Tax Contributions made by such Participant under the Qualified Savings Plans for the plan year; provided, however, that a Participant who elects to defer any amount hereunder shall be required to make the maximum Before-Tax Contributions permissible under the Qualified Savings Plans for the applicable Plan Year (after giving effect to deferrals under the Plan or otherwise).

(b) Plan Employer Contributions. There shall be credited to the Participant’s Account employer contributions under the Plan (“Plan Employer Contributions”) in an aggregate amount equal to (i) minus (ii), where (i) is 50% (for participants entitled to a 50% Employer Contribution in the Qualified Savings Plans) or 100% (for participants entitled to a 100% Employer Contribution in the Qualified Savings Plans) of the lesser of (x) 8% of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, or (y) the sum of the Participant’s Participant Contributions under the Qualified Savings Plans and Participant Deferred Contributions under the Plan, expressed as a percentage of Base Annual Salary, and (ii) is the total amount of Employer Contributions made with respect to the Participant under the Qualified Savings Plans; provided, however, that in no event shall the combined Plan Employer Contributions and Employer Contributions made with respect to the Participant exceed 8% of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary, and provided, further, that Plan Employer Contributions shall not be made with respect to a Participant during any period of suspension of Employer Contributions with respect to such Participant under the terms of the Qualified Savings Plans, whether or not such Participant continues to make Participant Contributions under the Qualified Savings Plans during the period of such suspension.

(c) Vesting. Participant Deferred Contributions, Plan Employer Contributions (collectively “Total Contribution Amounts”) and all amounts accrued with respect to Total Contribution Amounts in accordance with Section 5, shall be vested at the time such amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account.

(d) All Contributions Prorated. Total Contribution Amounts shall be credited to a Participant’s Account each pay period.

5.

The Participant’s Account

Participant Deferred Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan as unfunded book entries stated as cash balances.

Participant Deferred Contributions credited to the Participant’s Account after December 31, 2004, and all Participant Deferred Contributions credited to a Participant’s Account under the Supplemental Savings Plan before January 1, 2006, shall accrue amounts (to be posted each Valuation Date) equivalent to interest, compounded daily, at a rate based upon the cost to the Corporation of borrowing at a fixed rate for a 15-year term; provided however that, for 2005,

 



Participant Deferred Contributions credited to the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2005 shall accrue amounts (to be posted each Valuation Date) equivalent to interest, compounded daily, at a rate equal to 8%. The 15-year corporate borrowing rate referred to in the preceding sentence shall be determined annually by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation in consultation with the Treasurer of the Corporation.

Participant Deferred Contributions credited to the Participant’s Account under the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan prior to January 1, 1994 or after the Participant has terminated employment shall accrue amounts (to be posted each Valuation Date) equivalent to interest, compounded daily, at a rate based upon the cost to the Corporation of borrowing at a fixed rate for a 15-year term. Such rate shall be determined annually by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation in consultation with the Treasurer of the Corporation.

Participant Deferred Contributions credited to the Participant’s Account under the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan between January 1, 1994 and December 31, 2004, but before a Participant terminates employment, shall accrue amounts (to be posted each Valuation Date) equivalent to interest, compounded daily, at a rate determined annually by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation. The rate established in the preceding sentence shall not exceed the greater of (i) 10% (8% for Participant Deferred Contributions credited on or after January 1, 2004 and such other percentage that may be established by the Committee for subsequent calendar years), or (ii) 200% of the 10-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate at the time of determination and, once established for a calendar year, shall remain in effect with respect to all Participant Deferred Contributions credited to the Participant’s Account during such calendar year until such amounts are distributed.

Plan Employer Contributions shall be credited to the Participant’s Account under the Plan as unfunded book entries stated as shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares). The number of shares of Common Stock credited to a Participant’s Account shall be determined by dividing the equivalent cash amount (as determined under Section 4(b)) by the closing price of Common Stock on the day that such Plan Employer Contributions are credited to the Participant’s Account. Amounts equivalent to the dividends that would have been payable in respect of the Common Stock shall be credited to the Participant’s Account as if reinvested in Common Stock, with the number of shares credited determined by dividing the equivalent cash dividend amount by the closing price of Common Stock on the date the dividends would have been payable. Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account shall accrue amounts equivalent to interest and dividends, as the case may be, until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

6.

Distribution from Accounts

 

(a) Form and Timing of Payment.

(i) Participant Deferred Contributions. For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the aggregate amount of the Participant’s Deferred Contributions, plus earnings credited thereon pursuant to Section 5 (collectively, the “Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts”), credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to such election shall be paid in one lump-sum payment; provided, however, that the Participant may elect to receive a number of annual installments (up to ten installments) if he terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates after he attains age 55 and is credited with at least ten years of service with the Corporation and its affiliates. The lump-sum payment or the first installment shall be paid in

 



cash no later than January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the Participant terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates. Subsequent installments shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts has been paid. The amount of each installment shall be determined by multiplying the balance of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts each year by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is (A) the number of installments elected, reduced by (B) one for each annual installment previously received.

For the plan year beginning on January 1, 2005, the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to such election shall be paid in one lump-sum payment. The lump-sum payment shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the Participant terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, a distribution to a “key employee” on account of such employee’s separation from service shall not occur or begin until at least six months have passed between the separation from service date (or, if earlier, the date of death) and the distribution date. If, because of this restriction, the key employee cannot receive a distribution by the January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which he incurs a separation from service, such distribution shall occur or begin no later than January 31st of the second calendar year following the year in which the Participant incurs a separation from service. For purposes of the Plan, the term “key employee” is defined in Section 409A of the Code and shall be determined at the time and in the manner required or permitted by Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

For plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, the Participant made an election at the time the Participant made a deferral election for such years, with respect to the distribution of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts, credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to such election. A Participant elected to receive such amount in one lump-sum payment or in a number of annual installments (up to fifteen installments). The lump-sum payment or the first installment shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable during the month of January of such future calendar year as the Participant may designate or, if the Participant so elects, as soon as practicable during the month of January of the calendar year immediately following the later of the year in which the Participant last contributed to the Plan or the year in which the Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (whether by reason of Retirement or otherwise). Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, subsequent installments shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable during the month of January of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts shall have been paid. The amount of each installment shall be determined by multiplying the balance of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts each year by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is (A) the number of installments elected, reduced by (B) one for each annual installment previously received.

(ii) Plan Employer Contributions. The distribution form and timing that apply to the Participant’s Deferred Contribution Amounts for a plan year pursuant to subsection (i) above shall also apply to the form and timing of the distribution of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock representing the Plan Employer Contributions plus reinvested dividends pursuant to Section 5 (collectively the “Plan Employer Contribution Amounts”) credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to Section 5. Except to the extent otherwise provided with respect to fractional shares, all distributions of Plan Employer Contribution Amounts shall be

 



made in Common Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8, installments after the first installment payment, if applicable, shall be paid no later than January 31st of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the Plan Employer Contribution Amounts shall have been paid. The amount of each installment shall be determined by (A) multiplying the balance of the Plan Employer Contribution Amounts on the last Valuation Date of each year by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is (x) the number of installments elected, reduced by (y) one for each annual installment previously received, and (B) rounding the result down to the next whole share of Common Stock; provided, however, the amount of the last installment shall be determined without regard to the rounding requirement of the preceding portion of this sentence. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount, as determined using the closing price of Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the distribution date.

(b) Adjustment of Method of Distribution. For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, a Participant may not change the timing or payment form of distribution of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts or the Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account for any such plan year.

For plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, prior to the beginning of any calendar year, a Participant may elect to change the timing and method of distribution of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts and Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account commencing with such calendar year. Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts and Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account prior to the effective date of such change (the “Prior Balance”), and all amounts thereafter accrued with respect to the Prior Balance, shall not be affected by such change and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 or as determined by the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 8, shall be distributed only in accordance with the election in effect at the time such Prior Balance was credited to the Participant’s Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a Participant’s right to change the timing and method of distribution shall be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation.

(c)(i)  Distribution Default for Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts. Any Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for plan years beginning before January 1, 2005 which are not covered by a timely distribution election under subsections (a) and (b) above shall be distributed to the Participant in one lump-sum cash payment as soon as practicable during the month of January of the calendar year immediately following the later of the year in which the Participant last contributed to the Plan or the year in which the Participant terminates his employment with the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (whether by reason of Retirement or otherwise); provided, however, if the Participant has made an election pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or 9(a)(ii), the lump sum payment shall be made within the 90-day period following a Change in Control, as defined in Section 9(c).

(c)(ii)  Distribution Default for Plan Employer Contribution Amounts. Any Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account which are not covered by a timely distribution election under subsections (a) and (b) above shall be distributed to the Participant in Common Stock as soon as practicable during the month of January of the calendar year immediately following the later of the year in which the Participant last contributed to the Plan or the year in which the Participant terminates his employment with the Corporation or any of it subsidiaries (whether by reason of Retirement or otherwise); provided, however, if the Participant has made an election pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or (ii), the distribution shall be

 



made within the 90-day period following a Change in Control, as defined in Section 9(c). Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount, as determined using the closing price of Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the distribution date.

(d) Changing Prior Distribution Elections. For amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, the Plan Administrator may from time to time allow Participants to request new elections with respect to the distribution of a Participant’s Prior Balance under the Plan (other than with respect to any such Prior Balance for which distributions have already commenced). The Plan Administrator shall reserve the right to accept or reject any such request at any time and such election shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion, provided that any new election shall generally be required to be made at least twelve (12) months prior to any scheduled payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a Participant’s right to request a new election shall be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation.

For amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, the Plan Administrator may also allow a Participant to request an immediate distribution of all or a portion of such Participant’s Prior Balance (including any portion of such Prior Balance for which distributions have already commenced) and any Deferred Contribution Amounts and Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account immediately prior to such request. Any such immediate distribution shall be subject to a penalty equal to six percent (6%) of the amount requested to be distributed and shall be subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator and such other restrictions or conditions as may be established by the Plan Administrator from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a Participant’s right to request an immediate distribution shall be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation.

(e) Special Distribution Provision. Except as otherwise prohibited by Section 409A of the Code if such Section applies and notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if all or a portion of a Participant’s Account is determined to be includible in the Participant’s gross income and subject to income tax at any time prior to the time such Account would otherwise be paid, the Participant’s Account or that portion of the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant. For this purpose, an amount is determined to be includible in the Participant’s gross income upon the earliest of: (i) a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service addressed to the Participant which is not appealed, (ii) a final determination by the United States Tax Court or any other federal court affirming an IRS determination, or (iii) an opinion addressed to the Corporation by the tax counsel for the Corporation that, by reason of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service rulings, court decisions or other substantial precedent, the amount is subject to federal income tax prior to payment.

 



7.

Distribution on Death

(a) Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts. If a Participant should die before all Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account have been paid in accordance with Section 6, the balance of the Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts in such Participant’s Account shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant and filed with the Plan Administrator; provided, however, if the Participant has made an election pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or 9(a)(ii) for plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, such amount shall be paid within the 90-day period following a Change in Control, as defined in Section 9(c). If (i) no beneficiary designation has been made, or (ii) the designated beneficiary shall have predeceased the Participant and no further designation has been made, then such balance shall be paid to the estate of the Participant. A Participant may change the designated beneficiary at any time during the Participant’s lifetime by filing a subsequent designation in writing with the Plan Administrator.

(b) Plan Employer Contribution Amounts. If a Participant should die before all Plan Employer Contribution Amounts credited to the Participant’s Account have been paid in accordance with Section 6, the balance of the Plan Employer Contribution Amounts in such Participant’s Account shall be paid in Common Stock as soon as practicable following the Participant’s death to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant and filed with the Plan Administrator; provided, however, if the Participant has made an election pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or 9(a)(ii) for plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, such amount shall be paid within the 90-day period following a Change in Control, as defined in Section 9(c). If (i) no such beneficiary designation has been made, or (ii) the designated beneficiary shall have predeceased the Participant and no further designation has been made, then such balance shall be paid to the estate of the Participant. A Participant may change the designated beneficiary at any time during the Participant’s lifetime by filing a subsequent designation in writing with the Plan Administrator. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount, as determined using the closing price of Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the distribution date.

8.

Payment in the Event of Hardship

Beginning January 1, 2006, for amounts attributable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, upon receipt of a request from a Participant, delivered in writing to the Plan Administrator along with a hardship distribution form, the Plan Administrator, or his designee, may cause the Corporation to distribute (or require the subsidiary of the participating company that employs or employed the Participant to distribute) payment of all or any part of the amount credited to the Participant’s Account, including accrued amounts, if it finds in its sole discretion that payment of such amounts in accordance with the distribution form and timing requirements of Section 6 would result in an unforeseeable emergency for the Participant. An “unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (1) an illness or accident that occurs to the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Code), (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control.

If a Participant requests a withdrawal due to an unforeseeable emergency, the amount distributed cannot exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the emergency and estimated taxes the Participant shall incur as a result of the distribution. An emergency distribution may not be

 



made under this Section 8 to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Any distribution of Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in cash, while any distribution of Plan Employer Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in Common Stock. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount, as determined using the closing price of Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the distribution date.

For amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, upon receipt of a request from a Participant, delivered in writing to the Plan Administrator along with a Certificate of Unavailability of Resources form, the Plan Administrator, or his designee, may cause the Corporation to accelerate (or require the subsidiary of the Corporation which employs or employed the Participant to accelerate) payment of all or any part of the amount credited to the Participant’s Account, including accrued amounts, if it finds in its sole discretion that payment of such amounts in accordance with the Participant’s prior election under Section 6 would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant, and such hardship is the result of an unforeseeable emergency caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Participant. Acceleration of payment may not be made under this Section 8 to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Any distribution of Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in cash, while any distribution of Plan Employer Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 8 shall be made in Common Stock. Any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount, as determined using the closing price of Common Stock on the trading date next preceding the distribution date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a Participant’s right to request a hardship distribution shall be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation.

9.

Change in Control

(a)(i)  Initial Lump-Sum Payment Election. Notwithstanding any election made pursuant to Section 6, any person who became eligible to participate in the Plan filed a written election with the Plan Administrator at the time the individual made an election to participate to have the aggregate amount credited to the Participant’s Account (commencing with the date on which such written election is filed) paid in one-lump sum payment as soon as practicable following a Change in Control, but in no event later than 90 days after such Change in Control. Any distribution of Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in cash, while any distribution of Plan Employer Contribution Amounts pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in Common Stock (or the common stock of any successor corporation issued in exchange for, or with respect to, Common Stock incident to the Change in Control). Any fractional shares of Common Stock (or the common stock of any successor corporation issued in exchange for, or with respect to, Common Stock incident to the Change in Control) shall be paid in an equivalent cash amount.

(a)(ii) Subsequent Lump-Sum Payment Election. A Participant who did not make an election pursuant to Section 9(a)(i) or who has revoked, pursuant to Section 9(a)(iii), an election previously made under Section 9(a)(i) or this Section 9(a)(ii) may, prior to the earlier of a Change in Control or the beginning of the calendar year in which the election is to take effect, elect to have the aggregate amount credited to the Participant’s Account for all calendar years

 



commencing with the first calendar year beginning after the date the election is made, paid in one lump-sum payment as soon as practicable following a Change in Control, but in no event later than 90 days after such Change in Control.

(a)(iii)  Revocation of Prior Change in Control Payment Elections. A Participant may, prior to a Change in Control, file an election revoking any election made pursuant to Sections 9(a)(i) or 9(a)(ii) or file a new lump sum payment election under this Section 9 with respect to amounts previously credited to the Participant’s Account. Any such revocation or new election shall be made at the time specified by the Plan Administrator and shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Plan Administrator shall determine from time to time.

(a)(iv) Applicability. The foregoing provisions of this Section 9(a) shall only apply to amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2005. For amounts attributable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2005, the form and timing of Plan distributions shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 and such form and timing shall not be changed as a result of a Change in Control.

(b) Interest Equivalents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, after a Change in Control, the Plan may not provide, or be amended to provide, interest accruals with respect to Participant Deferred Contributions at rates lower than the rates in effect under Section 5 immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(c) Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control is deemed to occur at the time (i) when any entity, person or group (other than the Corporation, any subsidiary or any savings, pension or other benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) which therefore beneficially owned less than 30% of the common stock then outstanding acquires shares of Common Stock in a transaction or series of transactions that results in such entity, person or group directly or indirectly owning beneficially 30% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) of the purchase of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer by the Corporation) for all, or any part of, the Common Stock, (iii) of a merger in which the Corporation shall not survive as an independent, publicly owned corporation, a consolidation, or a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, (iv) of a substantial change in the composition of the Board during any period of two consecutive years such that individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the stockholders of the Corporation, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period, or (v) of any transaction or other event which the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, in its discretion, determines to be a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan.

 



10.

Administration

The Plan Administrator and “named fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA shall be the Senior Vice President-Human Resources and Communications of the Corporation (or the person acting in such capacity in the event such position is abolished, restructured or renamed). The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to appoint one or more other named fiduciaries of the Plan and to designate persons, other than named fiduciaries, to carry out fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan, pursuant to Section 405(c)(1)(B) of ERISA.

The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the records of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in determining any Participant’s entitlement to and the amount of benefits payable under the Plan.

(c) Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify the Plan Administrator from all claims for liability, loss, or damage (including payment of expenses in connection with defense against such claims) arising from any act or failure to act in connection with the Plan.

11.

Claims Procedures and Appeals

(a) Any request or claim for Plan benefits must be made in writing and shall be deemed to be filed by a Participant when a written request is made by the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative which is reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Plan Administrator.

(b) The Plan Administrator shall provide notice in writing to any Participant when a claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied in whole or in part. Such notice shall be provided within 90 days of the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s claim or, if special circumstances require, and the Participant is so notified in writing, within 180 days of the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s claim. The notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall:

(i) set forth the specific reasons for the denial of benefits;

 



(ii) contain specific references to Plan provisions relative to the denial;

(iii) describe any material and information, if any, necessary for the claim for benefits to be allowed, that had been requested, but not received by the Plan Administrator; and

(iv) advise the Participant that any appeal of the Plan Administrator’s adverse determination must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the initial denial notification, and must set forth the facts upon which the appeal is based.

(c) If the Participant fails to appeal the Plan Administrator’s denial of benefits in writing and within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of denial of the claim (or within 60 days after a deemed denial of the claim), the Plan Administrator’s determination shall become final and conclusive.

(d) If the Participant appeals the Plan Administrator’s denial of benefits in a timely fashion, the Plan Administrator shall re-examine all issues relevant to the original denial of benefits. Any such claimant, or his or her duly authorized representative, may review any pertinent documents, as determined by the Plan Administrator, and submit in writing any issues or comments to be addressed on appeal.

(e) The Plan Administrator shall advise the Participant and such individual’s representative of its decision, which shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, and include specific references to the pertinent Plan provisions on which the decision is based. Such response shall be made within 60 days of receipt of the written appeal, unless special circumstances require an extension of such 60-day period for not more than an additional 60 days. Where such extension is necessary, the claimant shall be given written notice of the delay.

12.

Miscellaneous

(a) Anti-Alienation. The right of a Participant to receive any amount credited to the Participant’s Account shall not be transferable or assignable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive any amount credited to a Participant’s Account hereunder, such right shall be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor of the Corporation. Except as expressly provided herein, any person having an interest in any amount credited to a Participant’s Account under the Plan shall not be entitled to payment until the date the amount is due and payable. No person shall be entitled to anticipate any payment by assignment, pledge or transfer in any form or manner prior to actual or constructive receipt thereof.

(b) Unsecured General Creditor. Neither the Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to reserve or otherwise set aside funds, Common Stock or other assets for the payment of its obligations hereunder. However, the Corporation or any subsidiary may, in its sole discretion, establish funds for payment of its obligations hereunder. Any such funds shall remain assets of the Corporation or such subsidiary, as the case may be, and subject to the claims of its general creditors. Such funds, if any, shall not be deemed to be assets of the Plan. The Plan is intended to be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

(c) Withholding. The Corporation shall withhold from any distribution made from Participant Deferred Contribution Amounts the amount necessary to satisfy applicable federal,

 



state and local tax withholding requirements. With respect to distributions of Plan Employer Contribution Amounts, the delivery of the shares of Common Stock shall be delayed until the Participant makes arrangements, pursuant to procedures to be adopted by the Plan Administrator, to satisfy the applicable federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.

(d) Termination and Amendment. The Corporation may at any time amend or terminate the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan may not, without the consent of an affected Participant, be amended in any manner which would (i) adversely affect such Participant’s rights and expectations with respect to Deferred Amounts credited to such Participant’s Account immediately prior to such amendment (including, but not limited to, any amendment which would adversely affect the rights or features applicable to, or any of the components that are taken into account in determining, the Deferred Amount of any Participant hereunder) or, (ii) with respect to any Participant whose employment terminates either during a Potential Change in Control Period or within two years following a Change in Control under circumstances entitling such Participant to severance benefits under the Corporation’s Severance Plan for Corporate Staff Employees or Part II of the Corporation’s Severance Plan for Senior Executives, adversely affect such Participant’s rights and expectations with respect to amounts that would otherwise have been credited to such Participant’s Account as a result of the election of such Participant to defer the receipt of severance payments pursuant to such plan. For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Potential Change in Control Period” shall commence when: (A) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control; (B) the Corporation or any person or group publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control; (C) any person or group (other than the Corporation, any subsidiary or any savings, pension or other benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 15% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation or the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person or group any securities acquired directly from the Corporation or its affiliates); or (D) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of the Plan, a Potential Change in Control Period has commenced. The Potential Change in Control Period shall continue until the earlier of (I) a Change in Control or (II) the adoption by the Board of a resolution stating that, for purposes of the Plan, the Potential Change in Control Period has expired.

(e) Benefit Statements. Each Participant shall receive periodic statements (not less frequently than annually) regarding the Participant’s Account. Each such statement shall indicate the amount of the balances credited to the Participant’s Account as of the end of the period covered by such statement.

(f) Legal Interpretation. This Plan and its provisions shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware to the extent such Delaware law is not inconsistent with the provisions of ERISA. The text of this Plan shall, to the extent permitted by law, govern the determination of the rights and obligations created or referred to herein. Headings to the Sections, paragraphs and subparagraphs are for reference purposes only and do not limit or extend the meaning of any of the Plan’s provisions.

(g) Employment. The adoption and maintenance of this Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Corporation or its subsidiaries and any employee or to be a

 



consideration for or condition of employment of any person. No provision of the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee the right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or its subsidiaries or to interfere with the right of the Corporation or its subsidiaries to discharge any employee at any time without regard to the effect which such discharge might have upon the employee's participation in the Plan or benefits under it.

(h) Fiduciary Capacities. Any person or group of persons may serve in more than one fiduciary capacity with respect to the Plan. For purposes of this Section 12(h), the term “fiduciary” shall have the same meaning as in ERISA.

(i) Participants Subject to Section 16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any request, election or other action under the Plan affecting a Participant subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 should require the approval of the Committee to exempt such request, election or other action from potential liability under Section 16, then the approval of the Committee shall be obtained in lieu of the approval of the Plan Administrator.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to the authority granted to me by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on July 29, 2005, the Plan is hereby amended this 17th day of October, 2005.

for

Selected Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its

Affiliates

 

 

 

Amended and Restated

effective January 1, 2006

(with amendments effective

January 1, 2005)

 



History.

Effective January 1, 2005, the terms of this supplemental non-qualified Salary and Incentive Award Deferral Plan for Selected Employees of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (the “Plan”) are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any corresponding rules and regulations under that Section. As such, Honeywell International Inc. (the “Corporation”) reserves the right to take any action it deems necessary or desirable to comply with Section 409A.

1.

Eligibility

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the following employees of the Corporation and its participating affiliates are eligible to participate in the Plan as of the first day of the plan year:

 

(1)

any employee who is in Career Band 6 or above, and

 

(2)

any employee who is in Career Band 5 at any time during the designated election period for the applicable plan year (the “Open Enrollment Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a new employee of the Corporation or a participating affiliate who is in Career Band 6 or above is first eligible to participate in the Plan on the day enrollment materials are sent to him by the Corporation,

For plan years beginning before January 1, 2006, the following employees were eligible to participate in the Plan: those employees of Corporation and its participating affiliates who were designated by the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) were eligible to participate in the Plan.

2.

Participation

An eligible employee may become a participant in the Plan (a “Participant”) by filing a timely written deferral election with the Corporation. Such election shall request that a portion of the compensation elements described in paragraph 3(a) and, for eligible employees employed before July 29, 2005, paragraph 3(b), be credited to an unfunded deferred compensation account maintained for the Participant under the Plan (the “Participant Account” or “Account”). A Participant’s direction, if accepted by the Corporation, shall become effective for the first pay period in the next succeeding calendar year or payment date in a succeeding calendar year (or for a newly eligible Participant, for the next succeeding pay period or payment date after the receipt of the direction by the Corporation), and shall continue in effect until the Participant terminates such direction, effective as of the end of the calendar year. Except as otherwise may be permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the Corporation, for plan years beginning on or after January 1,2005, a Participant may not modify his or her deferral election for a plan year at any time during the plan year.

 



A new employee of the Corporation or a participating affiliate who is employed in Career Band 6 or above may become a participant in the Plan by filing with the Plan Administrator (as defined in Section 11(a)) a timely written deferral election that complies with the paragraph above no later than 30 days after such employee is first eligible to participate in the Plan.

3.

Contributions to Participant Accounts

(a) Base Annual Salary. A Participant who is employed in Career Band 6 and above (or a Participant who occupies a position equivalent thereto) before July 29, 2005 may, prior to the beginning of any calendar year (and with respect to a newly eligible Participant, within thirty days after first becoming so eligible) elect to defer an aggregate amount of base annual salary otherwise payable in such subsequent calendar year (or with respect to a newly eligible Participant, in the remainder of the calendar year), exclusive of any bonus or any other compensation or allowance paid or payable by the Corporation or its affiliates (the “Base Annual Salary”). The amount deferred under this paragraph 3(a) shall not be greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s Base Annual Salary for such pay period. Effective July 29, 2005, no new deferral elections shall be permitted under this paragraph.

(b) Incentive Awards. A Participant may, to the extent that the Honeywell International Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan For Executive Employees (the “Incentive Plan”) (or any successor plan) permits deferrals of an incentive award (the “Incentive Award”) payable thereunder, elect to defer an amount not greater than one hundred percent of such Incentive Award. Any amount so deferred shall be deemed to be deferred under this Plan but shall, to the extent the provisions of the Incentive Plan are not inconsistent with this Plan, otherwise be subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Any deferral of an Incentive Award shall be made by filing an appropriate deferral election with the Corporation not later than the date established by the Corporation from time to time.

(c) Deferral Amounts. All amounts determined under this paragraph 3 which are the subject of a written deferral election (the “Deferral Amounts”) shall, in accordance with the relevant Participant direction, be credited to a Participant Account maintained under the Plan on the same day the Base Annual Salary or Incentive Award would otherwise have been payable.

4.

Deferral Requirements

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, amounts deferred under this Plan will be paid in one lump-sum payment; provided, however, that the Participant may elect to receive a number of annual installments (up to ten installments) if he terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates after he attains age 55 and is credited with at least ten years of service with the Corporation and its affiliates. The lump-sum payment or the first installment shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the Participant

 



terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates. Subsequent installments shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the Participant Account has been paid.

For plan years beginning before January 1, 2006, amounts deferred under this Plan shall be paid as soon as practicable during the month of January following the calendar year in which the Participant terminates employment, provided, however, amounts deferred under this Plan may be paid at such other date permitted to be designated by the Participant that provides for a minimum period of deferral of at least three years or such shorter period as may be approved by the Committee. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 9 or 10 or as approved by the Committee, no amount shall be withdrawn from a Participant Account prior to the earlier of: three years following the last day of the calendar year in which the Deferral Amounts were earned; the date the Participant reaches normal retirement age and is eligible to receive a benefit under a pension plan of the Corporation or one of its affiliates; the date of Participant’s death; or the date the Participant ceases to be employed by the Corporation or any of its affiliates.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, for amounts subject to Section 409A of the Code, a distribution to a “key employee” on account of such employee’s separation from service shall not occur or begin until at least six months have passed between the separation from service date (or, if earlier, the date of death) and the distribution date. If, because of this restriction, the key employee cannot receive a distribution by the January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which he incurs a separation from service, such distribution shall occur or begin no later than January 31st of the second calendar year following the year in which the Participant incurs a separation from service. For purposes of the Plan, the term “key employee” is defined in Section 409A of the Code and shall be determined at the time and in the manner required or permitted by Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 4, a Participant may request an immediate withdrawal of all or a portion of such Participant’s Account prior to any date described above or prior to the date the Account has been completely withdrawn, provided that such a request and withdrawal shall be subject to the approval of the Corporation and such penalties, restrictions or conditions as may be established by the Corporation from time to time. The penalty shall be a percentage of the amount requested to be withdrawn, calculated as the difference between (a) 6%, and (b) 50% of the amount, if any, by which 10% exceeds the interest rate on 10-year U.S. Treasury Bonds on the first business day of the calendar quarter during which the withdrawal request is made. A Participant’s right to request an immediate distribution under this paragraph shall (i) be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation, and (ii) shall apply only to amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2002 (i.e., Incentive Awards earned in performance years beginning before January 1, 2002 and Base Annual Salary earned and payable before January 1, 2002).

 



5.

Interest Equivalents

Deferral Amounts shall accrue additional amounts equivalent to interest (“Interest Equivalents”), compounded daily, from the date the Deferral Amount is credited to the Account to the date of distribution.

Deferral Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, and Deferral Amounts under Section 3(b) credited to a Participant’s Account in 2006 for the plan year beginning January 1, 2005, shall accrue Interest Equivalents at a rate based upon the cost to the Corporation of borrowing at a fixed rate for a 15-year term. Such rate shall be determined annually by the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation in consultation with the Treasurer of the Corporation. Interest Equivalents described in this paragraph shall be vested at the time such amounts are credited to the Participant’s Account.

Deferral Amounts under Section 3(a) credited to a Participant’s Account in 2005 for the plan year beginning on January 1, 2005 shall accrue Interest Equivalents at a single rate established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and such rate is subject to change beginning January 1, 2006.

Deferral Amounts credited to a Participant’s Account for plan years beginning before January 1, 2005 shall accrue Interest Equivalents at a single rate established by the Committee, in its sole discretion, for all Deferral Amounts credited to Participant Accounts in each calendar year. The rate established by the Committee shall not exceed the greater of (i) 10% or (ii) 200% of the 10-year U.S. Treasury Bond rate at the time of determination. Such Interest Equivalents, once established for a calendar year, shall remain in effect with respect to Deferral Amounts credited to Participant Accounts during the calendar year until the Deferral Amounts are distributed.

The rate of notional interest established hereunder shall be set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Any portion of such rate designated as the “Contingent Rate” shall become nonforfeitable only if the Participant is still employed by the Corporation or any affiliate at the end of the third full calendar year following the calendar year in which the Deferral Amount relates, provided, however, in the event a Participant terminates employment with the Corporation or an affiliate prior to such date for reasons other than gross cause, the Committee shall treat such portion as nonforfeitable in the event the Participant’s employment with the Corporation or Affiliate is involuntarily terminated (including a termination for “good reason” under any applicable severance plan of the Corporation or affiliate) or is terminated for such reasons as the Committee may determine from time to time in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in the event a Participant withdraws any portion of the Deferral Amount prior to the end of the third full calendar year following the calendar year to which the Deferral Amount relates, the amount of Contingent Rate interest credited with respect to such Deferred Amount at the time of withdrawal shall remain credited to such Account subject to the provisions of the preceding sentence but shall not be credited with any Interest Equivalents after such date (“Frozen Contingent Interest”). The rate established by the Committee and set forth on Schedule A shall remain in effect until superceded by action of the Committee and amendment of such Schedule A.

 



Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, from and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the rate at which Deferral Amounts accrue Interest Equivalents may not be decreased.

6.

Participant Accounts

All amounts credited to a Participant’s Account pursuant to paragraphs 3 and 4 shall be unfunded general obligations of the Corporation, and no Participant shall have any claim to or security interest in any asset of the Corporation on account thereof.

7.

Distribution from Accounts

For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2006, the Participant’s Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents will be paid in one lump-sum payment; provided, however, that the Participant may elect to receive a number of annual installments (up to ten installments) if he terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates after he attains age 55 and is credited with at least ten years of service with the Corporation and its affiliates. The lump-sum payment or the first installment shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which the Participant terminates employment with the Corporation and its affiliates. Subsequent installments shall be paid in cash no later than January 31st of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount of the Participant’s Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents has been paid.

For plan years beginning before January 1, 2005, the Participant made an election at the time the Participant made a deferral election for such years, with respect to the distribution of the Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited to the Participant’s Account pursuant to such election. A Participant elected to receive such distribution in one lump-sum payment or in a number of approximately equal annual payments (provided the payment period may not include more than fifteen such installments). The lump-sum or the first installment shall be paid as soon as practicable during the month of January of the calendar year following termination of employment or such other calendar year validly designated by the Participant. Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, all installment payments following the initial installment payment shall be paid in cash as soon as practicable during the month of January of each succeeding calendar year until the entire amount in the Account shall have been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated either voluntarily (other than on account of retirement as defined in the qualified pension plan in which the Participant participates or for “good reason” under any applicable severance plan of the Company) or for “gross cause” (as defined in the AlliedSignal Inc. Severance Plan for Senior Executives), the nonforfeitable portion of such Participant’s Deferred Amounts for performance years beginning after 1997 for amounts deferred under paragraph 3(b) or after 1998 for amount deferred under paragraph 3(a) (including the vested portion of any applicable notional interest credited thereto) shall be distributed in a lump sum as soon as practicable in January of the calendar year following such termination of employment. Any Frozen Contingent Interest credited to the Participant’s Account shall

 



be payable to the Participant in one lump sum after the date the Frozen Contingent Interest becomes nonforfeitable pursuant to Paragraph 5.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, a distribution of amounts subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A to a “key employee” on account of such employee’s separation from service shall not occur or begin until at least six months have passed between the separation from service date (or, if earlier, the date of death) and the distribution date. If, because of this restriction, the key employee cannot receive a distribution by the January 31st of the calendar year immediately following the year in which he incurs a separation from service, such distribution shall occur or begin no later than January 31st of the second calendar year following the year in which the Participant incurs a separation from service. For purposes of the Plan, the term “key employee” is defined in Section 409A of the Code and shall be determined at the time and in the manner required or permitted by Section 409A of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Corporation may from time to time allow Participants to request new elections with respect to the distribution of all Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon that are credited to such Participant under the Plan (other than any such amounts currently payable to a Participant). The Corporation shall reserve the right to accept or reject any such request at any time and such election shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Corporation shall determine in its sole discretion, provided that any new election shall generally be required to be made at least twelve (12) months prior to any scheduled payment date. A Participant’s right to request a new election under this paragraph shall (i) be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation, and (ii) shall apply only to amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2002 (i.e., Incentive Awards earned in performance years beginning before January 1, 2002 and Base Annual Salary earned and payable before January 1, 2002).

As permitted by IRS Notice 2005-1, (i) an eligible employee who elected to defer all or part of the Incentive Award earned in 2004 and payable in 2005 was permitted to completely cancel this election during a period that began no earlier than January 1, 2005 and ended no later than March 15, 2005 and (ii) an eligible employee who elected to defer all or part of the Incentive Award earned in 2005 and payable in 2006 will be permitted to completely cancel this deferral election during a period that will end no later than December 31, 2005.

Except as otherwise prohibited by Section 409A of the Code if such Section applies and notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, if all or a portion of a Participant’s Account is determined to be includible in the Participant’s gross income and subject to income tax at any time prior to the time such Account would otherwise be paid, the Participant’s Account or that portion of the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant. For this purpose, an amount is determined to be includible in the Participant’s gross income upon the earliest of: (i) a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service addressed to the Participant which is not appealed, (ii) a final determination by the United States Tax Court or any other federal court affirming an IRS determination, or (iii) an opinion addressed to the Corporation by the tax counsel for the Corporation that, by reason of the Code, Treasury Regulations, published Internal

 



Revenue Service rulings, court decisions or other substantial precedent, the amount is subject to federal income tax prior to payment.

8.

Distribution on Death

If a Participant should die before all amounts credited to the Participant’s Account have been distributed, the balance in the Account shall be paid as soon as practical thereafter to the beneficiary designated in writing by the Participant. Payment to a beneficiary pursuant to a designation by a Participant shall be made in one lump sum to the designated beneficiary as soon as practicable following the death of the Participant. Such beneficiary designations shall be effective when received by the Corporation, and shall remain in effect until rescinded or modified by the Participant by an appropriate written direction. If no beneficiary is properly designated by the Participant or if the designated beneficiary shall have predeceased the Participant, such balance in the Account shall be paid to the estate of the Participant.

9.

Payment in the Event of Hardship

Beginning January 1, 2006, for amounts attributable to plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, upon receipt of a request from a Participant, delivered in writing to the Plan Administrator along with a hardship distribution form and supporting documentation of the hardship, the Senior Vice President – Human Resources and Communications, or his designee, may cause the Corporation to accelerate (or require the subsidiary of the participating company that employs or employed the Participant to distribute) payment of all or any part of the amount credited to the Participant’s Account, including accrued amounts, if it finds in its sole discretion that payment of such amounts in accordance with the distribution form and timing requirements of Section 7 would result in an unforeseeable emergency for the Participant. An “unforeseeable emergency” means a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (1) an illness or accident that occurs to the Participant, the Participant’s spouse or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in section 152(a) of the Code), (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty, or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the Participant’s control.

If a Participant requests a withdrawal due to an unforeseeable emergency, the amount distributed cannot exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the emergency and estimated taxes the Participant shall incur as a result of the distribution. An emergency distribution may not be made under this Section 9 to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved (a) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or (b) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship. Any distribution pursuant to this Section 9 shall be made in cash.

 



For amounts attributable to plan years beginning before January 1, 2002, upon receipt of a request from a Participant, delivered in writing to the Corporation along with a Certificate of Unavailability of Other Resources form, the Committee, the Senior Vice President – Human Resources and Communications, or his designee, may cause the Corporation to accelerate (or require the subsidiary of the Corporation which employs or employed the Participant to accelerate) payment of all or any part of the Deferral Amount and Interest Equivalents credited to the Participant’s Account, if it finds in its sole discretion that payment of such amounts in accordance with the Participant’s prior election under paragraph 3 would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant and such hardship is the result of an unforeseeable emergency caused by circumstances beyond the control of the Participant. Acceleration of payment may not be made under this paragraph 9 to the extent that such hardship is or may be relieved (i) through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, (ii) by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship or (iii) by cessation of deferrals under this Plan or any tax-qualified savings plan of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a Participant’s right to request a hardship distribution shall be suspended from January 1, 2005 to November 7, 2005 or such later date determined by the Corporation.

10.

Change in Control

(a) Initial Lump Sum Election. Notwithstanding any election made pursuant to paragraph 7, a Participant may file a written election with the Corporation to have the Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited thereafter to the Participant’s Account paid in one lump-sum payment as soon as practicable following a Change in Control, but in no event later than 90 days after such Change in Control. The Interest Equivalents on any Deferred Amount payable pursuant to this paragraph 10(a) shall include the “Contingent Rate” credited to such Deferred Amount without regard to whether such amount has become nonforfeitable as provided in paragraph 5 at the time payment is made under this paragraph 10(a).

(b) Revocation of Lump-Sum Election. A Participant may revoke an election made pursuant to paragraph 10(a) (including an election not to be paid in one lump sum upon a Change in Control) by filing an appropriate written notice with the Corporation. A revocation notice filed pursuant to this paragraph 10(b) shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Corporation shall establish and shall be effective with respect to any or all of the Participant’s Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents accrued thereon which are credited to such Participant under the Plan. Any such election shall be subject to such restrictions and limitations as the Corporation shall determine in its sole discretion.

(c) Limitation on Elections. Any election made pursuant to paragraph 10(a) or 10(b) shall not be effective unless filed with the Corporation at least 90 days prior to a Change in Control.

 



(d) Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control is deemed to occur at the time (i) when an entity, person or group (other than the Corporation, any subsidiary or savings, pension or other benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) which theretofore beneficially owned less than 30% of the Corporation’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) then outstanding, acquires shares of Common Stock in a transaction or a series of transactions that results in such entity, person or group directly or indirectly owning beneficially 30% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) of the purchase of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer (other than an offer by the Corporation) for all, or any part of, the Common Stock (iii) of a merger in which the Corporation will not survive as an independent, publicly owned corporation, a consolidation, a sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets, (iv) of a substantial change in the composition of the Board during any period of two consecutive years such that individuals who at the beginning of such period were members of the Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by the shareowners of the Corporation, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period, or (v) of any transaction or other event which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be a Change in Control for purposes of the Plan.

11.

Administration

(a) Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator and “named fiduciary” for purposes of ERISA shall be the Senior Vice President-Human Resources and Communications of the Corporation (or the person acting in such capacity in the event such position is abolished, restructured or renamed). The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to appoint one or more other named fiduciaries of the Plan and to designate persons, other than named fiduciaries, to carry out fiduciary responsibilities under the Plan, pursuant to Section 405(c)(1)(B) of ERISA. Any person acting on behalf of the Plan Administrator shall serve without additional compensation. The Plan Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept such records and shall prepare or cause to be prepared such returns or reports as may be required by law or necessary for the proper administration of the Plan.

(b) Powers and Duties of Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall have the full discretionary power and authority to construe and interpret the Plan (including, without limitation, supplying omissions from, correcting deficiencies in, or resolving inconsistencies or ambiguities in, the language of the Plan); to determine all questions of fact arising under the Plan, including questions as to eligibility for and the amount of benefits; to establish such rules and regulations (consistent with the terms of the Plan) as it deems necessary or appropriate for administration of the Plan; to delegate responsibilities to others to assist it in administering the Plan; to retain attorneys, consultants, accountants or other persons (who may be employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) to render advice and assistance as it shall determine to be necessary to effect the proper discharge of any duty for which it is responsible; and to perform all other acts it believes reasonable and proper in connection with the administration of the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the

 



records of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in determining any Participant’s entitlement to and the amount of benefits payable under the Plan. Any determination of the Plan Administrator, including interpretations of the Plan and determinations of questions of fact, shall be final and binding on all parties.

(c) Indemnification. To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall indemnify the Plan Administrator from all claims for liability, loss, or damage (including payment of expenses in connection with defense against such claims) arising from any act or failure to act in connection with the Plan.

12.

Claims Procedures and Appeals

(a) Claim for Benefits. Any request or claim for Plan benefits must be made in writing and shall be deemed to be filed by a Participant when a written request is made by the claimant or the claimant’s authorized representative which is reasonably calculated to bring the claim to the attention of the Plan Administrator.

(b) Notice of Claim Denial. The Plan Administrator shall provide notice in writing to any Participant when a claim for benefits under the Plan has been denied in whole or in part. Such notice shall be provided within 90 days of the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s claim or, if special circumstances require, and the Participant is so notified in writing, within 180 days of the receipt by the Plan Administrator of the Participant’s claim. The notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant and shall:

 

(i)

set forth the specific reasons for the denial of benefits;

 

(ii)

contain specific references to Plan provisions relative to the denial;

 

(iii)

describe any material and information, if any, necessary for the claim for benefits to be allowed, that had been requested, but not received by the Plan Administrator; and

 

(iv)

advise the Participant that any appeal of the Plan Administrator’s adverse determination must be made in writing to the Plan Administrator within 60 days after receipt of the initial denial notification, and must set forth the facts upon which the appeal is based.

(c) Appeal of Denied Claims. If a claim is denied by the Plan Administrator within the time periods set forth above, the claimant shall be permitted to proceed to the review procedures set forth below. If the Participant fails to appeal the Plan Administrator’s denial of benefits in writing and within 60 days after receipt by the claimant of written notification of denial of the claim (or within 60 days after a deemed denial of the claim), the Plan Administrator’s determination shall become final and conclusive.

 



(d) Conduct of Appeal Review. If the Participant appeals the Plan Administrator’s denial of benefits in a timely fashion, the Plan Administrator shall re-examine all issues relevant to the original denial of benefits.

Where such extension is necessary, the claimant shall be given written notice of the delay.

13.

Miscellaneous

(a) No Alienation of Benefits. Except insofar as may otherwise be required by law, no amount payable at any time under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation by anticipation, sale, transfer, assignment, bankruptcy, pledge, attachment, charge, or encumbrance of any kind nor in any manner be subject to the debts or liabilities of any person and any attempt to so alienate or subject any such amount, whether presently or thereafter payable, shall be void. If any person shall attempt to, or shall alienate, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, attach, charge, or otherwise encumber any amount payable under the Plan, or any part thereof, or if by reason of such person’s bankruptcy or other event happening at any such time such amount would be made subject to the person’s debts or liabilities or would otherwise not be enjoyed by that person, then the Corporation, if it so elects, may direct that such amount be withheld and that same or any part thereof be paid or applied to or for the benefit of such person, the person’s spouse, children or other dependents, or any of them, in such manner and proportion as the Corporation may deem proper.

(b) No Right or Interest in Corporation’s Assets. Neither the Corporation nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to reserve or otherwise set aside funds for the payment of obligations arising under this Plan. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, establish funds, segregate assets or take such other action as it shall determine necessary or appropriate to secure the payment of its obligations arising under this Plan. This Plan is intended to be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Corporation and any Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments under this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor of the Corporation.

 



(c) Amendment. The Corporation may amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time, or from time to time; provided, however, that no change to the Plan shall impair the right of any Participant with respect to amounts then credited to an Account; and further provided that during a Potential Change in Control Period (as defined in Section 13(g) hereof) and from and after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Plan may not, without the consent of the Participant, be amended in any manner which would adversely affect such Participant’s rights and expectations with respect to Deferred Amounts credited to such Participant’s Account immediately prior to such amendment.

(d) Accounting. Each Participant shall receive periodic statements (not less frequently than annually) setting forth the cumulative Deferral Amounts and Interest Equivalents credited to, and any distributions from, the Participant’s Account.

(e) Facility of Payments. If the Corporation shall find that any person to whom any amount is payable under the plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due the person or the person’s estate (unless a prior claim therefore has been made by a duly appointed legal representative), may, if the Corporation so elects in its sole discretion, be paid to the person’s spouse, a child, a relative, an institution having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the Corporation to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment. Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Corporation and the Plan therefore.

(f) Governing Law. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement for a select group of management or highly compensated personnel and all rights thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New York.

(g) Potential Change in Control Period. A “Potential Change in Control Period” shall commence when: (i) the Corporation enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control; (ii) the Corporation or any person or group publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which, if consummated, would result in a Change in Control; (iii) any person or group (other than the Corporation, any subsidiary or any savings, pension or other benefit plan for the benefit of employees of the Corporation or its subsidiaries) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing 15% or more of either the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Corporation or the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such person or group any securities acquired directly from the Corporation or its affiliates); or (iv) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of the Plan, a Potential Change in Control Period has commenced. The Potential Change in Control Period shall continue until the

 



earlier of (A) a Change in Control, or (B) the adoption by the Board of a resolution stating that, for purposes of the Plan, the Potential Change in Control Period has expired.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, pursuant to the authority granted to me by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on July 29, 2005, the Plan is hereby amended this 17th day of October, 2005.

Section 2.03     Calculation of Estimated Closing Net Cash.

(a)          Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Statement”), setting forth the Net Cash as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Net Cash”) determined in accordance with Section 2.03, together with any supporting information that Purchaser may reasonably request.

(b)          Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Statement, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement describing its objections, if any, to the Statement (the “Statement of Objections”). If Purchaser does not deliver a Statement of Objections to Seller within such thirty-day period, the Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties. If Purchaser delivers a Statement of Objections to Seller within such thirty-day period, and the parties cannot resolve any such objection within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Seller of such Statement of Objections, any remaining disputes shall be resolved by Ernst & Young LLP (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Accounting Firm of the materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), which materials shall be delivered by Seller and Purchaser to the Accounting Firm within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period referenced in the preceding sentence. The resolution of disputes by the Accounting Firm shall be set forth in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the Statement, as modified by such resolution, shall become final and binding upon the date of such resolution. The determination of the Accounting Firm for any item in dispute cannot be in excess of, nor less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for that particular item in the Statement, in the case of Seller, or in the Statement of Objections, in the case of Purchaser. The Accounting Firm shall have no right to make any determination with respect to the undisputed portions of the Statement, and no such determination with respect to the undisputed portions of the Statement shall be binding on Seller or Purchaser. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to calculate Net Cash in accordance with Section 2.03. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser by the Accounting Firm based on the degree to which Seller’s and Purchaser’s claims were unsuccessful and shall be paid by Seller and Purchaser in accordance with such determination.

(c)          Upon the Statement becoming final and binding in accordance with Section 2.04(b), the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased by fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Closing Net Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Cash or decreased

 

5

 

 



 

by fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Closing Net Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Net Cash. If the Closing Net Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Cash, Purchaser shall pay to Seller fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such excess, together with a sum equivalent to interest thereon at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate from the Closing Date to the date of payment. If the Estimated Closing Net Cash exceeds the Closing Net Cash, Seller shall pay to Purchaser fifty percent (50%) of the amount of such excess, together with a sum equivalent to interest thereon at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Any such payment hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 9.04 within five (5) Business Days after final determination of the Statement to an account designated in writing by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser and Seller agree that Purchaser’s indemnification of Seller shall not include any U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income Taxes imposed on Seller with respect to the income of the Company for any Tax period or portion thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date, or imposed on Seller’s sale of Seller’s Membership Interest hereunder.
