(this “Agreement”), is by and between Johnson Controls International plc, a public limited 
company organized under the laws of Ireland (“Johnson Controls”), and Adient Limited, a 
private limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (“Adient”). 
R E C I T A L S: 
WHEREAS, the board of directors of Johnson Controls (the “Johnson Controls 
Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of Johnson Controls and its shareholders to 
create a new publicly traded company that shall operate the Adient Business; 
WHEREAS, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Johnson Controls Board has 
determined that it is appropriate and desirable to separate the Adient Business from the Johnson 
Controls Business (the “Separation”) and, following the Separation, to make a distribution in 
specie of the Adient Business to the holders of Johnson Controls Shares on the Record Date, 
through (a) the transfer to Adient, which will have been re-registered as a public limited 
company, of Johnson Controls’ entire legal and beneficial interest in the issued share capital of 
Adient Global Holdings Ltd, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson Controls that has 
been formed to hold directly or indirectly the assets and liabilities associated with the Adient 
Business, and (b) the issuance of ordinary shares of Adient to holders of Johnson Controls Shares 
on the Record Date on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”); 
WHEREAS, in order to effectuate the Separation and the Distribution, Johnson 
Controls and Adient have entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of 
September 8, 2016 (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”); 
WHEREAS, in order to facilitate and provide for an orderly transition in 
connection with the Separation and the Distribution, the Parties desire to enter into this 
Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which each of the Parties shall 
provide Services to the other Party for a transitional period; and 
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that this Agreement, the Separation and 
Distribution Agreement, and the Ancillary Agreements represent the integrated agreement of 
Johnson Controls and Adient related to the Separation and the Distribution, are being entered 
together, and would not have been entered independently. 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and 
covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the 
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally 
bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE II 
SERVICES 
Section 2.01. Services.     
(a) Commencing as of the Effective Time, the Provider agrees to provide, or 
to cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to provide, to the Recipient, or any designated Subsidiary 
or Affiliate of the Recipient, the applicable services (each a “Service” and, collectively, the 
“Services”) set forth on the schedules hereto (each, a “Schedule” and, collectively, the “Sched-
 ules”). 
(b) During the Term, if a Party identifies a service that the other Party or any 
of its Subsidiaries provided to the identifying Party or any of its Subsidiaries during the twelve 
(12)-month period immediately prior to the Distribution Date, but such service was inadvertently 
omitted from the Services set forth in the Schedules hereto (an “Omitted Service”), then the Pro-
 vider shall provide, or shall cause one of more of its Subsidiaries to provide, such Omitted Ser-
 vice, and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions upon which the other 
Party shall provide such Omitted Service, which terms and conditions shall include the applica-
 ble Service Standard and shall otherwise be substantially in line with terms and conditions of 
such Omitted Service during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the Distribution 
Date.  
(c) During the Term, either Party may request that the other Party modify, al-
 ter or adjust the manner in which the other Party provides Services (a “Service Change”).  Fol-
 lowing the delivery of such request, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms and condi-
 tions of such Service Change, which terms and conditions shall include the applicable Service 
Standard. 
(d) During the Term, either Party may request that the other Party provide an 
additional or different service that is not an Omitted Service and that does not constitute a Ser-
 -6- 
 
vice Change (a “New Service”).  The other Party shall consider such request, but nothing in this 
Agreement shall require the other Party to agree to provide such New Service.  If the other Party 
consents to providing the requested New Service, then the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to 
determine the terms and conditions upon which the other Party shall provide such requested New 
Service, including the applicable Service Standard. 
(e) The terms and conditions of any Omitted Service, agreed-upon Service 
Change or New Services that the providing Party consents to provide shall be documented in a 
supplement to the Schedules describing in reasonable detail the nature, scope, Charges, Service 
Period(s), termination provisions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Omitted Ser-
 vice, Service Change or New Service, as applicable, in a manner similar to that in which the Ser-
 vices are described in the Schedules.  Each supplement to the Schedules that is agreed to in writ-
 ing by the Parties shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such agreement, and 
the Omitted Service, Service Change or New Service set forth therein shall be deemed a Service 
provided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agree-
 ment. 
Section 2.02. Performance of Services. 
(a) The Provider shall perform, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries 
to perform, all Services to be provided by the Provider in a commercially reasonable manner (i) 
that is based on its past practice and that is substantially similar in all material respects to the 
analogous services provided by or on behalf of Johnson Controls or any of its Subsidiaries to 
Johnson Controls or its applicable functional group or Subsidiary during the twelve (12) months 
immediately prior to the Effective Time, if such service or a similar service was provided prior to 
the Effective Time, or (ii) that is based on its then-current practice and that is substantially simi-
 lar in all material respects to the analogous services provided by or on behalf of Johnson Con-
 trols or any of its Subsidiaries to Johnson Controls or its applicable functional group or Subsidi-
 ary following the Effective Time (clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Service Standard”).  Upon 
receipt of written notice from the Recipient identifying any outage, interruption, disruption, 
downturn or other failure of any Service (a “Service Interruption”), Provider shall use commer-
 cially reasonable efforts to respond, or to cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to respond, to 
such Service Interruption in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which Provid-
 er or its Affiliates responded to Service Interruptions during the twelve (12)-month period prior 
to the Effective Time or, if such service or a similar service was not provided prior to the Effec-
 tive Time, in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which such Provider or its 
Affiliates respond with respect to internally provided services. 
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Provider to perform or cause 
to be performed any Service to the extent that the Provider reasonably believes that the manner 
of such performance would constitute (i) a breach, violation or infringement of, or a default un-
 der, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any agreement, instrument, contract, obligation 
or undertaking which was entered into by such Provider prior to the date of this Agreement or 
(ii) a violation of any applicable Law.  If the Provider is or becomes aware of any potential viola-
 tion on the part of the Provider, the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to 
promptly advise the Recipient of such potential violation, and the Provider and the Recipient will 
mutually seek an alternative that addresses such potential violation.  The Parties agree to cooper-
 -7- 
 
ate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party 
consents required under any existing contract or agreement with a Third Party or under applica-
 ble Law to allow the Provider to perform, or cause to be performed, all Services to be provided 
by the Provider hereunder in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.02.  With-
 out limiting the foregoing, neither Party shall under any circumstance be required to (and the 
Provider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Recipient) pay or commit to pay any 
amount or incur any obligation in favor of or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or oth-
 erwise, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or 
similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to obtain any such Third Party consent, 
except that the Provider shall be required to make one such payment, commitment or accommo-
 dation if required by such Third Party (a “One-Time Payment”).  Unless otherwise agreed in 
writing in advance by the Parties, other than One-Time Payments, all reasonable out-of-pocket 
costs and expenses (if any) incurred by the Recipient or any of its Subsidiaries or, with the Re-
 cipient’s prior written consent, the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with obtain-
 ing any such Third Party consent that is required to allow the Provider to perform or cause to be 
performed such Services shall be borne solely by the Recipient.  If, with respect to a Service, the 
Parties, despite the use of such commercially reasonable efforts and the making of a One-Time 
Payment, are unable to obtain a required Third Party consent, or the performance of such Service 
by the Provider would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, the Parties shall use com-
 mercially reasonable efforts to develop an alternative arrangement that is reasonably acceptable 
to each Party and that enables the Provider to perform or cause to be performed such Service or 
an analogous service without obtaining such required Third Party consent or violating any appli-
 cable Law. 
(c) The Provider shall not be obligated to perform or to cause to be performed 
any Service in a manner that is materially more burdensome (with respect to service quality or 
quantity) than analogous services provided to Johnson Controls or its applicable functional group 
or Subsidiary (collectively referred to as the “Level of Service”) during Johnson Controls’ fiscal 
year 2016 (the “Service Baseline Period”).  A Service shall be deemed materially more burden-
 some if, among other items, its usage exceeds the highest quantity of analogous services provid-
 ed to the functional groups or Subsidiaries of Johnson Controls that are part of the Recipient dur-
 ing the Service Baseline Period, or if the Provider is required to hire new employees, engage new 
contractors or make capital investments in respect of such Service greater than the maximum 
number of employees or contractors dedicated at any time to analogous services, or investments 
made by Johnson Controls with respect to analogous services, during the Service Baseline Peri-
 od.  If the Recipient requests that the Provider perform or cause to be performed any Service that 
exceeds the Level of Service during the Service Baseline Period, including any acquisition or 
upgrade of technology, software or information systems, then the Parties shall cooperate and act 
in good faith to determine whether the Provider will be required to provide such requested higher 
Level of Service.  If and to the extent that the Parties determine that the Provider shall provide 
the requested higher Level of Service, then such higher Level of Service shall be documented in 
a supplement to the Schedules.  Each such supplement, as agreed to in writing by the Parties, 
shall be deemed part of this Agreement as of the date of such written agreement and the Level of 
Service increases set forth in such written agreement shall be deemed a part of the Services pro-
 vided under this Agreement, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 -8- 
 
(d) (i) Neither the Provider nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to per-
 form or to cause to be performed any of the Services for the benefit of any Third Party or any 
other Person other than the Recipient and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY 
PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 2.02 OR SECTION 7.03, EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES 
AND AGREES THAT ALL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS, THAT 
THE RECIPIENT ASSUMES ALL RISK AND LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING 
TO ITS USE OF AND RELIANCE UPON THE SERVICES, AND THAT THE PROVIDER 
MAKES NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR GRANTS ANY WARRANTIES, EXPRESS 
OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR 
OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.  EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY 
DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OR 
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF QUALITY, 
MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR THE 
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD 
PARTIES. 
(ii) Each Party shall be responsible for its own compliance with any 
and all Laws applicable to its performance under this Agreement.  No Party shall knowingly take 
any action in violation of any such applicable Law that results in Liability being imposed on the 
other Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) neither Party shall, in 
connection with its performance or use of Services under this Agreement, knowingly take any 
action, or fail to take any action that Johnson Controls took in the ordinary course during the 
Service Baseline Period in connection with such Service, if the taking of such action or failure to 
take such action would materially adversely affect the ability of the other Party and its Subsidiar-
 ies or Affiliates to comply with such applicable Laws, and (ii) the Provider shall not have any 
obligation to provide, or cause to be provided, Services to the extent that any change in applica-
 ble Law after the date of this Agreement provision would materially increase or change the Pro-
 vider’s burden or the burden of any applicable Subsidiary of the Provider with respect to compli-
 ance with applicable Laws, unless the applicable Recipient agrees to bear all incremental costs 
resulting from the increased compliance burden associated with providing such Services; provid-
 ed, that the Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly advise the Recipient 
of such increased burden, and the Provider and the Recipient will mutually seek an alternative 
that minimizes such increased burden. 
 
Section 2.03. Charges for Services.  Unless otherwise provided with respect to a 
specific Service on the Schedules hereto, the Recipient shall pay the Provider of the Services a 
fee (either one-time or recurring) for such Services (or category of Services, as applicable) (each 
fee constituting a “Charge” and, collectively, “Charges”), which Charges shall be set forth on the 
applicable Schedules hereto, or if not set forth, then based upon the actual cost of providing such 
Services as agreed to by the Parties from time to time.  During the Term, the amount of a Charge 
for any Service may be modified to the extent of (a) any adjustments mutually agreed to in writ-
 ing by the Parties, (b) any adjustments due to a change in Level of Service requested by the Re-
 cipient and agreed upon by the Provider, and (c) any adjustment in the rates or charges imposed 
by any Third Party provider that is providing Services pursuant to the existing agreement with 
such Third Party provider for such Services or any renewal thereof that contains substantially 
similar terms (proportional to the respective use of such Services by each Party).  Each Party
 -9- 
 
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the cost of providing the Services. To-
 gether with any invoice for Charges, the Provider shall provide the Recipient with reasonable 
documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably requested by the Recipient to 
the extent that such documentation is in the Provider’s or its Subsidiaries’ possession or control, 
to support the calculation of such Charges. 
Section 2.04. Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Costs and Expenses.  The Re-
 cipient shall reimburse the Provider for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by 
the Provider or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the Services (including rea-
 sonable travel-related expenses) to the extent that such costs and expenses are not reflected in the 
Charges for such Services; provided, that any such cost or expense in excess of five thousand 
dollars ($5,000.00), in the aggregate, that is not consistent with the historical practice between 
the Parties for any individual Service (including business travel and related expenses) shall re-
 quire advance written approval of the Recipient.  Any authorized travel-related expenses in-
 curred in performing the Services shall be incurred and charged to the Recipient in accordance 
with the Provider’s then-applicable business travel policies. 
Section 2.05. Changes in the Performance of Services.  Subject to the perfor-
 mance standards for Services set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c), 
the Provider may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing the Services if 
the Provider is making similar changes in performing analogous services for itself and if the Pro-
 vider furnishes to the Recipient reasonable prior written notice (in content and timing) of such 
changes; provided, that no such change shall have a significant adverse effect on the timeliness 
or quality of, or the Charges for, the applicable Service.  If any such change by the Provider rea-
 sonably requires the Recipient to incur an increase in costs and expenses to continue to receive 
and utilize the applicable Services in the same manner as the Recipient was receiving and utiliz-
 ing such Service prior to such change, the Provider shall be required to reimburse the Recipient 
for all such reasonable increase in costs and expenses.  Upon request, the Recipient shall provide 
the Provider with reasonable documentation, including any additional documentation reasonably 
requested by the Provider to the extent that such documentation is in the Recipient’s or its Sub-
 sidiaries’ possession or control, to support the calculation of such increase in costs and expenses. 
Section 2.06. Transitional Nature of Services.  The Parties acknowledge the tran-
 sitional nature of the Services.  The Recipient agrees to cooperate in good faith and to use com-
 mercially reasonable efforts to effectuate a smooth transition of the Services from the Provider to 
the Recipient (or its designee) as soon as commercially practicable after the Distribution Date, 
but in any event before the end of the Service period for such Service (as described in Section 
5.01). The Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate in good faith with each 
other in order to effectuate such transition of the Services from the Provider to the Recipient (or 
its designee) in a timely and orderly manner. 
Section 2.07. Subcontracting.  The Provider may hire or engage one or more 
Third Parties to perform any or all of its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that if a 
Third Party was not already performing such obligation on behalf of the Provider immediately 
prior to the Distribution Date, the Provider shall (a) notify the Recipient prior to hiring or engag-
 ing such Third Party and (b) obtain the Recipient’s prior consent (such consent not to be unrea-
 sonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if (i) the hiring or engagement of such Third Party
 -10- 
 
would decrease the quality or level of the Services provided to the Recipient compared to the 
quality or level of Services provided by the Provider or (ii) the use of such Third Party would 
increase the Charges payable by the Recipient in connection with such Services; provided, fur-
 ther, that the Provider shall in all cases remain primarily responsible for all of its obligations un-
 der this Agreement with respect to the scope of the Services, the performance standard for Ser-
 vices set forth in Section 2.02(a), Section 2.02(b) and Section 2.02(c) and the content of the Ser-
 vices provided to the Recipient.  Subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Article VI, 
each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, provide, upon ten (10) business days’ 
prior written notice from the other Party, any Information within such Party’s or its Affiliates’ 
possession that the requesting Party reasonably requests in connection with any Services being 
provided to such requesting Party by a Third Party, including any applicable invoices, agree-
 ments documenting the arrangements between such Third Party and the Provider and other sup-
 porting documentation.     
ARTICLE III 
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

(a) Adient shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Johnson Controls 
and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of 
Adient and its Subsidiaries that is necessary for Johnson Controls and its Subsidiaries to fulfill 
their obligations under this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing right of access, Adient shall,

Representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice, reasonable access during normal busi-
 ness hours to the facilities, Information, systems, infrastructure and personnel of Adient and its 
Subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for Johnson Controls to verify the adequacy of internal 
controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes employed 
in connection with the Services being provided by Adient or its Subsidiaries, including in con-
 nection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; provid-
 ed, that (i) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the business or operations of 
Adient or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) in the event that Adient determines that providing such 
access could be commercially detrimental, violate any applicable Law or agreement or waive any 
attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit 
such access in a manner that avoids such harm or consequence.  Johnson Controls agrees that all 
of its and its Subsidiaries’ employees shall, and that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts 
to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the property of Adient or its Subsidiaries, or 
when given access to any facilities, Information, systems, infrastructure or personnel of Adient

 plicable, concerning health, safety, conduct and security which are made known or provided to 
Johnson Controls from time to time.   
(b) Johnson Controls shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, allow Adient 
and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives reasonable access to the facilities of 
Johnson Controls and its Subsidiaries that is necessary for Adient and its Subsidiaries to fulfill 
their obligations under this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing right of access, Johnson 
Controls shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Adient, its Subsidiaries and their respec-
 -11- 
 
tive Representatives, upon reasonable advance written notice, reasonable access during normal 
business hours to the facilities, Information, systems, infrastructure and personnel of Johnson 
Controls and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably necessary for Adient to verify the adequacy of in-
 ternal controls over information technology, reporting of financial data and related processes 
employed in connection with the Services being provided by Johnson Controls or its Subsidiar-
 ies, including in connection with verifying compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley 
Act of 2002; provided, that (i) such access shall not unreasonably interfere with any of the busi-
 ness or operations of Johnson Controls or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) in the event that John-
 son Controls determines that providing such access could be commercially detrimental, violate 
any applicable Law or agreement or waive any attorney-client privilege, then the Parties shall 
use commercially reasonable efforts to permit such access in a manner that avoids such harm or 
consequence.  Adient agrees that all of its and its Subsidiaries’ employees shall, and that it shall 
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives’ employees to, when on the 
property of Johnson Controls or its Subsidiaries, or when given access to any facilities, Infor-
 mation, systems, infrastructure or personnel of Johnson Controls or its Subsidiaries, conform to 
the policies and procedures of Johnson Controls and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, concerning 
health, safety, conduct and security which are made known or provided to Adient from time to 
time.   
ARTICLE IV 
BILLING; TAXES 
Section 4.01. Procedure.  Charges for the Services shall be charged to and paya-
 ble by the Recipient.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by wire transfer 
(or such other method of payment as may be agreed between the Parties from time to time in 
writing) to the Provider (as directed by the Provider), on a monthly basis in the case of recurring 
fees, which amounts shall be due within thirty (30) days of the Recipient’s receipt of each such 
invoice, including reasonable documentation pursuant to Section 2.03.  Unless otherwise indicat-
 ed in the Schedules, all amounts due and payable hereunder shall be invoiced and paid in U.S. 
dollars.  If an amount is required to be paid in another currency, the conversion rate used to de-

that the obligation to pay arises in the financial reporting systems of the Party receiving such 
payment.   
Section 4.02. Late Payments.  Charges not paid when due pursuant to this 
Agreement (and any amounts billed or otherwise invoiced or demanded and properly payable 
that are not paid within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such bill, invoice or other demand) shall 
accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus two (2%) percent (the “Interest 
Payment”).   
Section 4.03. Taxes.  Without limiting any provisions of this Agreement, the Re-
 cipient shall bear any and all Taxes and other similar charges (and any related interest and penal-
 ties) imposed on, or payable with respect to, any fees or charges, including any Charges, payable 
by it pursuant to this Agreement, including all sales, use, value-added, and similar Taxes, but ex-
 cluding any Taxes based on the Provider’s income.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in 
the previous sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Recipient shall be entitled to withhold
 -12- 
 
from any payments to the Provider any such Taxes that the Recipient is required by applicable 
Law to withhold and shall pay such Taxes to the applicable Tax Authority. 
Section 4.04. No Set-Off.  Except as mutually agreed to in writing by Johnson 
Controls and Adient, no Party or any of its Affiliates shall have any right of set-off or other simi-
 lar rights with respect to (a) any amounts received pursuant to this Agreement or (b) any other 
amounts claimed to be owed to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of this 
Agreement.   
Section 4.05. Billing Disputes.  The Recipient’s payment of Charges for Services 
pursuant to this Article IV shall not be deemed to waive the Recipient’s right to dispute in good 
faith the accuracy or amount of any such Charge or any such payment. Any such Dispute 
regarding Charges, and any refund or reimbursement of Charges paid by the Recipient, shall be 
resolved in accordance with the terms of Section 9.16. 
ARTICLE V 
TERM AND TERMINATION 
Section 5.01. Term.  This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Time 
and shall be in effect until terminated in accordance with this Article V (the “Term”).  This 
Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the last date on which either Party is 
obligated to provide any individual Service to the other Party in accordance with the terms of this 
Agreement; (b) the mutual written agreement of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in its 
entirety; or (c) the date that is the twenty-four (24)-month anniversary of the Distribution Date.  
Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 5.02, this Agreement shall terminate with re-
 spect to each Service as of the close of business on the last day of the Service Period for such 
Service.   
 
Section 5.02. Early Termination.   
(a) Without prejudice to the Recipient’s rights with respect to Force Majeure, 
the Recipient may from time to time terminate this Agreement with respect to the entirety of any 
individual Service but not a portion thereof: 
(i) for any reason or no reason, upon the giving of at least thirty (30) 
days’ prior written notice to the Provider of such Service; provided, that if a Schedule hereto sets 
forth a different notice period, then the Recipient shall comply with such different notice periods; 
provided, further, that any such termination shall be subject to the obligation to pay any applica-
 ble Early Termination Charges pursuant to Section 5.04; or 
(ii) if the Provider of such Service has failed to perform any of its ma-
 terial obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Service, and such failure shall con-
 tinue to be uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Provider of written 
notice of such failure (the “Notice of Breach”) from the Recipient; provided, that the Recipient 
shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of 
the end of such period, there remains a good-faith Dispute between the Parties (undertaken in
 -13- 
 
accordance with the terms of Section 9.16) as to whether the Provider has breached this Agree-
 ment or cured the applicable breach. 
(b) The Provider may terminate this Agreement with respect to any individual 
Service, but not a portion thereof, at any time upon prior written notice to the Recipient, if the 
Recipient has failed to perform any of its material obligations under this Agreement relating to 
such Service, including making payment of Charges for such Service when due, and such failure 
shall continue to be uncured for a period of at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Recipient 
of the Notice of Breach from the Provider; provided, that the Provider shall not be entitled to 
terminate this Agreement with respect to the applicable Service if, as of the end of such period, 
there remains a good-faith Dispute between the Parties (undertaken in accordance with the terms 
of Section 9.16) as to whether the Recipient materially breached this Agreement or has cured the 
applicable breach.   
(c) The Schedules hereto shall be updated to reflect any terminated Service. 
Section 5.03. Interdependencies.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) 
there may be interdependencies among the Services being provided under this Agreement; (b) 
upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to determine 
whether (i) any such interdependencies exist with respect to the particular Service that a Party is 
seeking to terminate pursuant to Section 5.02 (the “To-be-Terminated Service”) and (ii) in the 
case of such termination, the Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with 
this Agreement would be materially and adversely affected by such termination of another Ser-
 vice (the “Adversely Affected Service”); and (c) in the event that the Parties have determined 
that such interdependencies exist and such termination would materially and adversely affect the 
Provider’s ability to provide a particular Service in accordance with this Agreement, the Parties 
shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Schedules hereto with respect to such Adversely Af-
 fected Service, which amendment shall be consistent with the terms of comparable Services.  If, 
after such negotiations, the Parties are unable to agree on an amendment with respect to the Ad-
 versely Affected Service, the Dispute between the Parties shall be resolved in accordance with 
the terms of Section 9.16, and the Provider’s obligation to provide, and the Recipient’s obliga-
 tion to pay for, the To-be-Terminated Service and the Adversely Affected Service shall continue 
until the resolution of such Dispute. 
Section 5.04. Effect of Termination.  Upon the termination of any Service pursu-
 ant to this Agreement, the Provider of the terminated Service shall have no further obligation to 
provide the terminated Service, and the Recipient of such Service shall have no obligation to pay 
any future Charges relating to such Service; provided, that the Recipient shall remain obligated 
to the Provider for (a) the Charges owed and payable in respect of Services provided prior to the 
effective date of termination for such Service, and (b) any applicable Early Termination Charges 
(which, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b), shall be payable only in the event that the Re-
 cipient terminates any Service pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i)) (it being understood that the Parties 
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any such Early Termination Charges). 
Any Dispute regarding Charges and Early Termination Charges, and any refund or reimburse-
 ment of Charges or Early Termination Charges paid by the Recipient, shall be resolved in ac-
 cordance with the terms of Section 9.16.  In connection with the termination of any Service, the 
provisions of this Agreement not relating solely to such terminated Service shall survive any
 -14- 
 
such termination, and in connection with a termination of this Agreement, Article I, this Article 
V, Article VII and Article IX, all confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and Liability 
for all due and unpaid Charges, and Early Termination Charges shall continue to survive. 
Section 5.05. Information Transmission.  The Provider, on behalf of itself and its 
respective Subsidiaries, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or make available, 
or cause to be provided or made available, to the Recipient, in accordance with Section 6.1 of the 
Separation and Distribution Agreement, any Information received or computed by the Provider 
for the benefit of the Recipient concerning the relevant Service during the Service Period; pro-
 vided, that, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, (a) the Provider shall not have 
any obligation to provide, or cause to be provided, Information in any non-standard format, (b) 
the Provider and its Subsidiaries shall be reimbursed for their reasonable costs in accordance 
with Section 6.3 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement for creating, gathering, copying, 
transporting and otherwise providing such Information, and (c) the Provider shall use commer-
 cially reasonable efforts to maintain any such Information in accordance with Section 6.4 of the

CONFIDENTIALITY; PROTECTIVE ARRANGEMENTS   
Section 6.01. Johnson Controls and Adient Obligations.  Subject to Section 6.04, 
until the seven (7)-year anniversary of the end of the Term, each of Johnson Controls and Adient, 
on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, agrees to hold, and to cause its respective Repre-
 sentatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that applies to John-
 son Controls’ Confidential Information pursuant to policies in effect as of the Effective Time, all 
Confidential Information concerning the other Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective busi-
 nesses that is either in its possession (including Confidential Information in its possession prior 
to the date hereof) or furnished by any such other Party or such other Party’s Subsidiaries or their 
respective Representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement, and shall not use any such 
Confidential Information of the other Party other than for such purposes as shall be expressly 
permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Confidential Information is or 
was (a) in the public domain or generally available to the public, other than as a result of a dis-
 closure by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives in vio-
 lation of this Agreement; (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party or any of 
its Subsidiaries, which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation or other 
contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential In-
 formation; or (c) independently developed or generated without reference to or use of the Confi-
 dential Information of the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries.  If any Confidential Information 
of a Party or any of its Subsidiaries is disclosed to the other Party or any of its Subsidiaries in 
connection with providing the Services, then such disclosed Confidential Information shall be 
used by the receiving Party only as required to perform such Services. 
Section 6.02. No Release; Return or Destruction.  Each Party agrees (a) not to re-
 lease or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Confidential Information of the other 
Party addressed in Section 6.01 to any other Person, except its Representatives who need to 
know such Confidential Information in their capacities as such (who shall be advised of and have 
acknowledged in writing their obligations hereunder with respect to such Confidential Infor-
 -15- 
 
mation) and except in compliance with Section 6.04, and (b) to use commercially reasonable ef-
 forts to maintain such Confidential Information in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Separation 
and Distribution Agreement.  Without limiting the foregoing, when any such Confidential Infor-
 mation is no longer needed for the purposes contemplated by the Separation and Distribution 
Agreement, this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreements, each Party will promptly after 
request of the other Party either return to the other Party all such Confidential Information in a 
tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or 
notify the other Party in writing that it has destroyed such information (and such copies thereof 
and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon); provided, that such Party’s Representa-
 tives may retain one (1) copy of such information to the extent required by applicable Law or 
professional standards, and shall not be required to destroy any such information located in back-
 up, archival electronic storage. 
Section 6.03. Privacy and Data Protection Laws; Residual Information.  Each 
Party shall comply with all applicable state, federal and foreign privacy and data protection Laws 
that are or that may in the future be applicable to the provision of the Services under this Agree-
 ment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party and its Subsidiaries shall be 
free to use for any purpose the Residual Information resulting from access Representatives of 
such Party or its Subsidiaries have had to confidential and proprietary information concerning 
the other Party or its Subsidiaries. The Parties acknowledge and understand that the foregoing 
does not constitute a license under any patents or copyrights, nor does it confer any other rights 
or interests in either Parties’ Intellectual Property. 
Section 6.04. Protective Arrangements.  In the event that a Party or any of its 
Subsidiaries either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any in-
 formation pursuant to applicable Law or receives any request or demand under lawful process or 
from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide information of the other Party (or any 
of its Subsidiaries) that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall notify 
the other Party (to the extent legally permitted) as promptly as practicable under the circum-
 stances prior to disclosing or providing such information and shall cooperate, at the expense of 
the other Party, in seeking any appropriate protective order requested by the other Party.  In the 
event that such other Party fails to receive such appropriate protective order in a timely manner 
and the Party receiving the request or demand reasonably determines that its failure to disclose or 
provide such information shall actually prejudice the Party receiving the request or demand, then 
the Party that received such request or demand may thereafter disclose or provide information to 
the extent required by such Law (as so advised by its counsel) or by lawful process or such Gov-
 ernmental Authority, and the disclosing Party shall promptly provide the other Party with a copy 
of the information so disclosed, in the same form and format so disclosed, together with a list of 
all Persons to whom such information was disclosed, in each case to the extent legally permitted.

 firms each such facsimile, stamp or mechanical signature (regardless of whether delivered in per-
 son, by mail, by courier, by facsimile or by email in portable document format (PDF)) made in 
its respective name as if it were a manual signature delivered in person, agrees that it will not 
assert that any such signature or delivery is not adequate to bind such Party to the same extent as

provided in New York General Obligations Law § 5-1402, (c) agrees that service of any process, 
summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to its respective address set forth 
in Section 9.10 shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any 
such court or for the taking of any other acts as may be necessary or appropriate in order to ef-
 fectuate any judgment of said courts and (d) UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT 
MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Par-
 ties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that neither Party may as-
 sign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise

Separation and Distribution Agreement, this Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements in 
whole (i.e., the assignment of a Party’s rights and obligations under the Separation and Distribu-
 tion Agreement, this Agreement and all the other Ancillary Agreements all at the same time) in 
connection with a change of control of a Party so long as the resulting, surviving or transferee 
Person assumes all of the obligations of the relevant party thereto by operation of Law or pursu-
 ant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.  Nothing 
herein is intended to, or shall be construed to, prohibit either Party or any of its Subsidiaries from 
being party to or undertaking a change of control.

or business that is a Recipient or Provider of Services (a “Divested Business”), the Party that is 
divesting or disposing of such Divested Business shall assign all of its rights and obligations un-
 der this Agreement, in respect of the Divested Business, to the Person that acquired control of 
such Divested Business (such Person, the “Divested Business Acquirer”), without any require-
 ment to obtain the consent of the other Party, and the Party that is divesting or disposing of the 
Divested Business shall cause the Divested Business Acquirer to accept in writing the terms of 
this Agreement and the applicable Services with respect to such Divested Business and, to the 
extent that the Divested Business is a Provider of Services, assume the applicable obligations of 
the Provider under this Agreement. 
Section 9.09. Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as provided in Article VII with 
respect to the Provider Indemnitees in their capacities as such, (a) the provisions of this Agree-
 ment are solely for the benefit of the Parties and are not intended to confer upon any other Person 
(except the Parties) any rights or remedies hereunder; and (b) there are no other third-party bene-
 ficiaries of this Agreement and this Agreement shall not provide any other Third Party with any 
remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing 
without reference to this Agreement.

 cations under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given or made (and shall be deemed

Section 9.11. Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application 
thereof to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be 
invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provi-
 sion to Persons or circumstances or in jurisdictions other than those as to which it has been held 
invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, 
impaired or invalidated thereby.  Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good 
faith in an effort to agree upon such a suitable and equitable provision to effect the original intent 
of the Parties.   
Section 9.12. Force Majeure.  No Party shall be deemed in default of this 
Agreement for any delay or failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder (other than the obligation 
to pay money for Charges and Early Termination Charges, if any, incurred) so long as and to the 
extent to which any delay or failure in the fulfillment of such obligations is prevented, frustrated, 
hindered or delayed as a consequence of circumstances of Force Majeure.  In the event of any 
such excused delay, the time for performance (other than the obligation to pay money for Charg-
 es and Early Termination Charges, if any, incurred) shall be extended for a period equal to the 
time lost by reason of the delay unless this Agreement has previously been terminated under Ar-
 ticle V.  A Party claiming the benefit of this provision shall, as soon as reasonably practicable 
after the occurrence of any such Force Majeure, (a) provide written notice to the other Party of 
the nature and extent of any such Force Majeure; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to 
remove any such causes and resume performance under this Agreement as soon as reasonably 
practicable (and in no event later than the date that the affected Party resumes providing analo-
 gous services to, or otherwise resumes analogous performance under any other agreement for, 
itself, its Affiliates or any Third Party), unless this Agreement has previously been terminated 
under Article V.  The Recipient shall be relieved of the obligation to pay Charges for the affected 
Service(s) throughout the duration of such Force Majeure.  If any Force Majeure prevents, hin-
 ders, or delays the performance by the Provider, the Recipient may procure the affected Services 
from an alternate source, including the Recipient’s personnel (with the Provider reimbursing the 
Recipient for the cost of procuring the affected Services from such alternate source) throughout 
the duration of such Force Majeure, and the Provider shall cooperate in good faith with, provide 
any required Information to, and take such other action as may be reasonable required to enable 
such alternate source to provide the affected Services.

Section 9.13. Headings.  The Article, Section and Paragraph headings contained

Agreement, the covenants, representations and warranties and other agreements contained in this

Effective Time and shall remain in full force and effect thereafter. 
Section 9.15. Waivers of Default.  Waiver by any Party of any default by the 
other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver by the waiving Par-
 ty of any subsequent or other default, nor shall it prejudice the rights of the waiving Party.  No 
failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement 
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof prejudice any other 
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.   
Section 9.16. Dispute Resolution.   
(a) In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating 
to any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement (whether arising in contract, tort or oth-
 erwise), calculation or allocation of the costs of any Service or otherwise arising out of or relat-
 ing in any way to this Agreement (including the interpretation or validity of this Agreement) (a 
“Dispute”) and (ii) is not resolved by the Transition Committee after a reasonable period of time, 
such Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process referred to in 
Article VII of the Separation and Distribution Agreement. 
(b) In any Dispute regarding the amount of a Charge or an Early Termination 
Charge, if such Dispute is finally resolved by the Transition Committee or pursuant to the dis-
 pute resolution process set forth or referred to in Section 9.16(a) and it is determined that the 
Charge or the Early Termination Charge, as applicable, that the Provider has invoiced the Recip-
 ient, and that the Recipient has paid to the Provider, is greater or less than the amount that the 
Charge or the Early Termination Charge, as applicable, should have been, then (i) if it is deter-
 mined that the Recipient has overpaid the Charge or the Early Termination Charge, as applicable, 
the Provider shall within thirty (30) business days after such determination reimburse the Recipi-
 ent an amount of cash equal to such overpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing from the 
date of payment by the Recipient to the time of reimbursement by the Provider; and (ii) if it is 
determined that the Recipient has underpaid the Charge or the Early Termination Charge, as ap-
 plicable, the Recipient shall within thirty (30) business days after such determination reimburse 
the Provider an amount of cash equal to such underpayment, plus the Interest Payment, accruing 
from the date such payment originally should have been made by the Recipient to the time of 
payment by the Recipient.  
Section 9.17. Specific Performance.  Subject to Section 9.16, in the event of any 
actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this 
Agreement, the Party or Parties who are, or are to be, thereby aggrieved shall have the right to 
specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (on an interim or permanent basis) 
in respect of its rights or their rights under this Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights
 -23- 
 
and remedies at law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  The Par-
 ties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary dam-
 ages, may be inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any Action for spe-
 cific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived.  Any requirements for the 
securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived by each of the Parties.  Un-
 less otherwise agreed to in writing, the Parties shall continue to provide Services and honor all 
other commitments under this Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the 
provisions of Section 9.16 and this Section 9.17 with respect to all matters not subject to such 
Dispute; provided, that this obligation shall only exist during the term of this Agreement. 
Section 9.18. Amendments.  No provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary 
Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by a Party, unless such 
waiver, amendment (including any extension of the term of any Service), supplement or modifi-
 cation is in writing and signed by the authorized representative of the Party against whom it is 
sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification. 
 
Section 9.19. Precedence of Schedules.  Each Schedule attached to or referenced 
in this Agreement is hereby incorporated into and shall form an integral part of this Agreement; 
provided, that the terms contained in such Schedule shall only apply with respect to the Services 
provided under that Schedule. In the event of a conflict between the terms contained in an indi-
 vidual Schedule and the terms in the body of this Agreement, the terms in the Schedules shall 
take precedence with respect to the Services under such Schedule only.  No terms contained in 
individual Schedules shall otherwise modify the terms of this Agreement.
