ARTICLE II: PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS



2.010 Participation. An Eligible Employee will be permitted to elect to become a Participant in
the Plan as soon as is practicable following his commencement of service with an Affiliated
Company. To the extent administratively feasible, an Eligible Employee’s election to contribute to
the Plan will become effective on the first payroll payment date following his commencement of
service as an Eligible Employee and will remain in effect, unless he elects otherwise, so long as
he continues to be an Eligible Employee.



Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Eligible Employee who is hired (or rehired) on or after October
1, 2006 shall upon eligibility to become a Participant be deemed to have elected an automatic Basic
Pre-Tax Contribution of three percent (3%) of such Participant’s Base Compensation to be
contributed under the Plan if such participant has not made an affirmative contrary Basic Pre-Tax
Contribution election. Such deemed automatic 3% Basic Pre-Tax Contribution shall be effective as
soon as practicable following his commencement of service with an Affiliated Company and shall
continue in effect until such Eligible Employee elects, in accordance with the rules adopted by the
Plan Administrator, to make a contrary Basic Pre-Tax Contribution election, as described in this
Section 2.010. An Eligible Employee to whom this deemed automatic 3% Basic Pre-Tax Contribution
percentage applies shall be able to change such deferral percentage at any time.



Further notwithstanding the foregoing, effective January 1, 2008, any Eligible Employee who has not
previously made an affirmative contrary Basic Pre-Tax Contribution election shall be deemed to have
elected an automatic Basic Pre-Tax Contribution of three percent (3%) of such Participant’s base
Compensation to be contributed under the Plan. Such deemed automatic 3% Basic Pre-Tax contribution

above.

subsections (a) and (b) below:

the Plan as a Basic Pre-tax Contribution to his Pre-tax Contribution Account;






	(b)	 	authorize having deducted from his regular Base Compensation 1% through 6% (such deduction to
be authorized in whole percentages) and then have the amount of such deduction (as adjusted
for all applicable taxes due on that amount) paid to the Plan as a Basic After-tax
Contribution to his After-tax Contribution Account;

described in Section 2.020 will also be permitted to take either or both of the actions described

	(a) 	(1)	 	if he is a non-Highly Compensated Employee, elect to defer receipt of an amount equal to
7% through 25% of his regular Base Compensation (such deferral to be elected in whole
percentages), and to instead have that amount paid to the Plan as a Supplemental Pre-tax
Contribution to his Pre-tax Contribution Account;
	 
	 	(2)	 	if he is a Highly Compensated Employee, elect to defer receipt of an amount equal to 7%
through 12% of his regular Base Compensation (such deferral to be elected in whole
percentages), and to instead have that amount paid to the Plan as a Supplemental Pre-tax
Contribution to his Pre-tax Contribution Account;
	 
	(b) 	(1)	 	if he is a non-Highly Compensated Employee, authorize having deducted from his regular
Base Compensation 7% through 25% (such deduction to be authorized in whole percentages) and
then have the amount of such deduction (as adjusted for all applicable taxes due on that
amount) paid to the Plan as a Supplemental After-tax Contribution to his After-tax
Contribution Account; and
	 
	 	(2)	 	if he is a Highly Compensated Employee, authorize having deducted from his regular Base
Compensation 7% through 16% (such deduction to be authorized in whole percentages) and then
have the amount of such deduction (as adjusted for all applicable taxes due on that amount)
paid to the Plan as a Supplemental After-tax Contribution to his After-tax Contribution
Account.




provided, however, that the percentages elected to be deferred or deducted and then made as
Supplemental Pre-tax and Supplemental After-tax Contributions may together not exceed 19% of the
Participant’s Base Compensation if he is a non-Highly Compensated Employee or 10% of the
Participant’s Base Compensation if he is a Highly Compensated Employee.

another individual account plan will be permitted as set forth below:





	(a)	 	A Participant who is presently an Eligible Employee but who formerly though an Employee was
not an Eligible Employee may cause his account balances in the Rockwell Automation, Inc.
Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees to be transferred to this Plan. Such transferred
account balance (which will be entirely in cash, Rockwell Automation common stock or in
participant loans from the transferring plan) will constitute Transfer Contributions.






	(b)	 	A Participant who is an Eligible Employee may elect (by providing the Plan Administrator with
notice thereof) to have the entire amount credited to his account in a qualified individual
account plan of a former employer transferred from such plan to this Plan as a Rollover
Contribution, subject to the following:






	 	(1)	 	Such Rollover Contributions are eligible for receipt hereunder only if they are in
the form of cash and are derived entirely from employee contributions or vested
employer contributions to a retirement plan described in and subject to Code §401(a), a

qualified plan which at any time had permitted benefit payments in the form of a life
annuity.






	(c)	 	Transfer and Rollover Contributions will be credited to separate Rollover Accounts, which
will be separate from the Participant’s Pre-tax and After-tax Contribution Accounts and,
as such, will be subject to investment elections which are separate from those related

of Company Matching Contributions occurring during a Plan Year shall be used to reduce Company
Matching Contributions for such Plan Year.

ARTICLE
III: CONTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS



3.010 Limitations on Employee Pre-tax Contributions.





	(a)	 	The aggregate amount in any calendar year of all of a Participant’s:






	 	(1)	 	Basic and Supplemental Pre-tax Contributions to this Plan;
	 
	 	(2)	 	elective deferrals under any other cash or deferred arrangement (as defined in
Code §402(g)); and
	 
	 	(3)	 	elective employer contributions to any simplified employee pension (as defined in
and pursuant to, respectively, Code §§408(k)(1) and (6))






	 	 	may not exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), or such larger sum as may be in effect under
Code §402(g)(5).
	 
	(b)	 	Prior to the beginning of, and periodically during, each Plan Year, the Plan Administrator
will cause a test to be conducted of Pre-tax Contribution elections under Sections 2.020(a)
and 2.030(a) in order to determine whether the Average Pre-tax Contribution Percentage for
the Highly Compensated Employee Group exceeds the Pre-tax Contribution Percentage Limit. If
it is determined that the Pre-tax Contributions made for any Plan Year by the Highly
Compensated Employee Group would (if not reduced) cause the Average Pre-tax Contribution
Percentage of that Group to exceed the Pre-tax Contribution Percentage Limit, the Plan
Administrator will first reduce any Supplemental Pre-tax Contributions and then the Basic
Pre-tax Contributions elected by Participants in the Highly Compensated Employee Group, so
that the Pre-tax Contribution Percentage Limit will not be exceeded for the Plan Year:






	 	(1)	 	Such reduction will be effective as of the first payroll date in the month
following such determination and will be made by first reducing the Pre-tax
Contribution Accounts of Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants who have the
greatest dollar amount of Pre-tax Contributions (but not below the Highly Compensated
Employee Group Participants with the next highest dollar amount of Pre-tax
Contributions), and then, if necessary, reducing the Pre-tax Contributions of the
Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants with the next highest dollar amount of
Pre-tax Contributions (including the Pre-tax Contributions of the Highly Compensated
Employee Group Participants whose Pre-tax Contributions have already been reduced by
the Plan Administrator), and continuing in descending order until the Average Pre-tax
Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee Group satisfies the Pre-tax
Contribution Limit.




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-20-









 












	 	(2)	 	Such excess Pre-tax Contributions will be distributed to the affected Participants
who are Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants as soon as practicable after the
end of such Plan Year and in all events prior the end of the next following Plan Year.
Effective January 1, 2006, income allocable to such excess Pre-tax Contributions with
respect to any Participant that are distributed in the next following Plan Year shall
equal the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year, and any allocable gain
or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of the corrective
distribution (i.e., the “gap period”). Income allocable to excess Pre-tax
Contributions for the Plan Year and any gap period shall be calculated under any
reasonable method as determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that such method is
used for allocating income to Participants’ Pre-tax Contribution Accounts and is used
consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the Plan
for the Plan Year.






	(c)	 	Reductions in Basic or Supplemental Pre-tax Contributions pursuant to subsection (b) of this
Section will continue until the Plan Administrator determines that changed circumstances
permit a revision of such Pre-tax Contributions, in which case the Plan Administrator will
determine the amount by which such Pre-tax Contributions may be revised for the balance of the
Plan Year.






	(d)	 	In order to determine the amount of excess Pre-tax Contributions, if any, for the members of
the Highly Compensated Employee Group, the Plan Administrator or his delegate will:






	 	(1)	 	determine the “highly compensated employee” (as defined in Code §414(q)) in the
Group with the highest Pre-tax Contribution Percentage (i.e., the amount of such
employee’s Pre-tax Contributions in a particular Plan Year, divided by his
Compensation for the Plan Year);
	 
	 	(2)	 	determine how much the said Percentage would have to be reduced to either
satisfy the Average Pre-tax Contribution Percentage test under Code §401(k)(3) or
cause such Percentage to equal the Pre-tax Contribution Percentage of the highly
compensated employee with the next highest Percentage; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	repeat making the determination set forth in Paragraph (2) until such time as
the Average Pre-tax Contribution Percentage test described in that Paragraph is
satisfied.




The amount of excess Pre-tax Contributions for the members of the Highly Compensated Employee Group
is equal to the amount equal to the sum of the hypothetical reductions described above, multiplied
by such members’ Compensation.




Plan 008

	(e)	 	To the extent permitted under Section 3.015, the amount representing the additional amount of
Base Compensation which would have been contributed as Supplemental Pre-tax or Basic Pre-tax
Contributions on behalf of the Participant will be contributed by the Participant to the Plan,
as appropriate, as Supplemental After-tax or Basic After-tax Contributions. In addition, to
the extent permitted by regulation, the Plan Administrator may during or following a Plan Year
cause Supplemental or Basic Pre-tax Contributions made on behalf of Highly Compensated
Employee Group Participants to be recharacterized (on a uniform and non-discriminatory basis)
as Supplemental or Basic After-tax Contributions to the extent necessary to prevent the
Average Pre-tax Contribution Percentage for that Plan Year for those Participants from
exceeding the Pre-tax Contribution Percentage Limit.





3.015 Limitations on After-tax Contributions and Matching Contributions.





	(a)	 	Prior to the beginning of, and periodically during, each Plan Year, the Plan Administrator
will cause a test to be conducted of After-tax Contribution elections under Sections 2.020(b)
and 2.030(b) in order to determine whether the Average After-tax Contribution Percentage for
the Highly Compensated Employee Group exceeds the After-tax Contribution Percentage Limit. If
it is determined that the After-tax Contributions made for any Plan Year by the Highly
Compensated Employee Group would (if not reduced) cause the Average After-tax Contribution
Percentage of that Group to exceed the After-tax Contribution Percentage Limit, the Plan
Administrator will first reduce any Supplemental After-tax Contributions and then the Basic
After-tax Contributions elected by Participants in the Highly Compensated Employee Group, so
that the After-tax Contribution Percentage Limit will not be exceeded for the Plan Year:






	 	(1)	 	Such reduction will be effective as of the first payroll date in the month
following such determination and will be made by first reducing the After-tax
Contribution Accounts of Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants who have the
greatest dollar amount of After-tax Contributions (but not below the Highly Compensated
Employee Group Participants with the next highest dollar amount of After-tax
Contributions), and then, if necessary, reducing the After-tax Contributions of the
Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants with the next highest dollar amount of
After-tax Contributions (including the After-tax Contributions of the Highly
Compensated Employee Group Participants whose After-tax Contributions have already been
reduced by the Plan Administrator), and continuing in descending order until the
Average After-tax Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee Group
satisfies the After-tax Contribution Limit.






	 	(2)	 	Such excess After-tax Contributions will be distributed to the affected
Participants who are Highly Compensated Employee Group Participants as soon as
practicable after the end of such Plan Year and in all events prior the end of the next following






Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-22-









 











	 	 	Plan Year. Effective January 1, 2006, income allocable to such excess After-tax
Contributions with respect to any Participant that are distributed in the next following
Plan Year shall equal the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the Plan Year, and any
allocable gain or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date of
the corrective distribution (i.e., the “gap period”). Income allocable to excess
After-tax Contributions for the Plan Year and any gap period shall be calculated under
any reasonable method as determined by the Plan Administrator, provided that such method
is used for allocating income to Participants’ After-tax Contribution Accounts and is
used consistently for all Participants and for all corrective distributions under the
Plan for the Plan Year.
	 
	(b)	 	Reductions in Basic or Supplemental After-tax Contributions pursuant to subsection (a) of
this Section will continue until the Plan Administrator determines that changed circumstances
permit a revision of such Contributions, in which case the Plan Administrator will determine
the amount by which such Contributions may be revised for the balance of the Plan Year.
	 
	(c)	 	If it is determined as a result of tests of contribution elections pursuant to subsection (a)
that there will be “excess aggregate contributions” (as defined in and determined pursuant to
Code §401(m)(6)) in any Plan Year, such excess aggregate contributions and all income
allocable thereto will be distributed, or, if forfeitable, forfeited, in the manner and within
the time required by the said §401(m)(6). Income allocable to excess aggregate contributions
with respect to any Participant shall equal the sum of the allocable gain or loss for the Plan
Year, and, effective January 1, 2006, any allocable gain or loss for the period between the
end of the Plan Year and the date of the forfeiture or corrective distribution (the “gap
period”). Income allocable to excess aggregate contributions for the Plan Year and any gap
period shall be calculated under any reasonable method as determined by the Plan
Administrator, provided that such method is used for allocating income attributable to
Participants’ Company Contribution Accounts, and is used consistently for all Participants and
for all corrective distributions under the Plan for the Plan Year. Any excess aggregate
contributions made to the Plan shall be taken into account as employer contributions to the
extent required in applicable IRS regulations.
	 
	(d)	 	In order to determine the amount of excess After-tax Contributions, if any, for the members
of the Highly Compensated Employee Group, the Plan Administrator or his delegate will:






	 	(1)	 	determine the “highly compensated employee” (as defined in Code §414(q)) in the
Group with the highest After-tax Contribution Percentage (i.e., the amount of such
employee’s After-tax Contributions in a particular Plan Year, divided by his
Compensation for the Plan Year), such After-tax Contributions to include any
excess Pre-Tax Contributions which are treated as After-tax Contributions due to
recharacterization;




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-23-









 












	 	(2)	 	determine how much the said Percentage would have to be reduced to either
satisfy the Average After-tax Contribution Percentage test under Code §401(m)(3) or
cause such Percentage to equal the After-tax Contribution Percentage of the highly
compensated employee with the next highest Percentage; and
	 
	 	(3)	 	repeat making the determination set forth in Paragraph (2) until such time as
the Average After-tax Contribution Percentage test described in that Paragraph is
satisfied.




In making the determinations set forth in this Section, any amounts which were the subject of
recharacterization of Pre-tax Contributions as After-tax Contributions will be included herein as
being After-tax Contributions. The amount of excess After-tax Contributions for the members of the
Highly Compensated Employee Group is equal to the amount equal to the sum of the hypothetical
reductions described above, multiplied by such members’ Compensation.



3.020 Limits for Catch-up Contributions. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the
preceding Section 3.010 or any other provision of this Plan, the aggregate amount of Catch-up
Contributions for a given Plan Year of any Participant who, as of the end of a Plan Year, is at
least age fifty (50), who intends to have Basic and Supplemental Pre-tax Contributions made to the
Plan during the Plan Year which could be in excess of the limit set forth in the said Section 3.010
and who has a Basic Pre-tax or After tax Contribution election of at least 1% in place, will be
permitted to elect to have Catch-up Contributions made on his behalf to the Plan in amounts
totaling the limits set forth below for such Contributions:




	 	 	 	 	 
	Plan Year	 	Dollar Limit
	2002
	 	$	1000.00	 
	2003

	2007
	 	$	5000.00	 
	2008
	 	$	5000.00	 





Such Dollar Limits for Plan Years subsequent to December 31, 2008 will be adjusted for increases in
the cost of living at the same time and in the same manner as adjustments are made under Code
§415(d).



To the extent that any such Catch-up Contribution is in excess of the limits of this Section and,
if not otherwise limited pursuant to any other provisions of this Plan which are applicable to



Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-24-









 






Participant Contributions or Company Matching Contributions, such excess will nevertheless be
contributed to the Plan as an After-tax Contribution of such Participant.



3.025 Qualified Nonelective Contributions. The Company may make qualified nonelective
contributions on behalf of any Eligible Employee who is working in Puerto Rico, in order to satisfy
applicable requirements of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended. Such
contributions shall be fully vested at all times and shall be made in a manner that also complies
with applicable IRS rules (including IRS Regulation §1.401(m)-2(a)(6)).



3.030 Incorporation by Reference. The limitations of Internal Revenue Code §§401(k), 401(m) and
414(v) are hereby incorporated by reference. Articles II and III of the Plan set forth the basic
requirements of Code §§401(k) and (m) and Section 414(v). In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of these Articles II and III and the Code §401(k), 401(m) and/or 414(v) requirements,
the provisions of Code §§401(k), 401(m) and 414(v) and regulations thereunder shall govern. The
Plan also incorporates by reference any subsequent IRS guidance applicable under these Code
provisions.

ARTICLE IV: PLAN INVESTMENTS



4.010 Investment Elections. In addition to the elections and authorizations set forth in Article
II, a Participant will be permitted to elect in which Investment Funds his Participant
Contributions will be invested.





	(a)	 	Such investments will be elected by the Participant among the Investment Funds in one percent
(1%) increments, with the total of the elected percentage increments equaling one hundred
percent (100%); provided, however, that the Participant will not be permitted to have any of
the said Contributions invested in Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A, the Exxon Stock Fund or
the Special Stock Funds.






	(b)	 	The Participant will be permitted to change, on a daily basis, any previous Investment Fund
election or elections he has made with regard to his Contributions pursuant to subsection (a),
but he will not be permitted to elect to have investment of his Contributions changed to
Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A, the Exxon Stock Fund or the Special Stock Funds.






	(c)	 	The elections and changes to such elections which a Participant makes pursuant to this
Section will be made by means of any method (including any available telephonic or electronic
method which is acceptable to the Plan Administrator at the time the election or change is
made by the Participant), and may be made at any time and will be effective as of the New York
Stock Exchange closing immediately following the making of that election or change; provided,
however, if it is determined by the Plan Administrator or his delegate that an investment
election made by a Participant is invalid or defective, the Participant’s election prior to
July 1, 2005, will, until duly corrected by him, be deemed to have been made in favor of the
Stable Value Fund. Effective July 1, 2005, such an invalid or defective election will be
deemed to have been made in favor of the appropriate target retirement Investment Fund based
on such Participant’s date of birth.






	(d)	 	The Account of any Participant who initially fails to make a valid investment election prior
to becoming a participant in the Plan shall be invested in the appropriate target retirement
Investment Fund based on such Participant’s date of birth (or such other Investment Fund as
selected by the Trustee or as directed by the Plan Administrator). Prior to July 1, 2005,
such Accounts were invested in a stable value fund.




4.020 Transfers from Investment Funds. A Participant will be permitted to have the whole or
a portion of the value of his interest in any of the Plan’s Investment Funds (including, prior to
July 1, 2005, Rockwell Automation Stock Fund B and after June 30, 2005, the Rockwell Automation
Stock Fund), the Special Stock Funds and the Exxon Stock Fund which is attributable to his own
Participant Contributions transferred out of such Fund and into
any of the Investment Funds, except that a Participant who is a Divested Business Employee
will not be permitted to elect to have such interest transferred into Rockwell Automation Stock
Fund B.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective from July 1, 2005 through November 7, 2007, a
Divested Business Employee will be permitted to elect to have such interest transferred into the
Rockwell Automation Stock Fund.



4.021 Investment Fund Transfers — Employer Contributions Prior to October 1, 1995. The special

Company Contribution Account which is attributable to employer contributions which were made on the
Participant’s behalf to the Allen-Bradley Predecessor Plan or to the Reliance Predecessor Plan
prior to October 1, 1995. Such a Participant may elect to have such portion of his Company
Contribution Account transferred to any of the Investment Funds other than Rockwell Automation
Stock Fund B, but the Participant will be permitted to make a separate election to have any such
portion transferred, prior to July 1, 2005, to Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A and on or after
July 1, 2005, to the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund. Any amounts which are so transferred to
Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A or, after June 30, 2005, the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund, may
not be later transferred out of that Stock Fund, except as may be permitted under Section 4.040.



4.030 Transfers from Special Stock Funds. A Participant will be permitted to have the whole or a
portion of the value of his interest in any of the Plan’s Special Stock Funds transferred out of
such Funds pursuant to the rules and limitations set forth below:

Divested Business Employee may elect to have some or all of his interest in any Special Stock
Fund which is attributable to his own Participant Contributions or Company Profit Sharing
Contributions transferred to any Investment Fund, including Rockwell Automation Stock Fund B
(or, after June 30, 2005, the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund), but the portion of his interest
in a Special Stock Fund which is attributable to Company Matching Contributions may only be
transferred to Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A (or, after June 30, 2005, the Rockwell
Automation Stock Fund). Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective October 1, 2006, a
Participant may transfer the portion of his interest in a Special Stock Fund which is
attributable to Company Matching Contributions to any Investment Fund, including the Rockwell
Automation Stock Fund. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, effective November 7, 2007, a
Participant who is no longer an Employee (including a Participant who is a Divested Business
Employee) or a Beneficiary may not make any transfers into the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund.






	(b)	 	Prior to July 1, 2005, a Participant who is a Divested Business Employee may elect to have
some or all of his interest in any Special Stock Fund, whether such interest is attributable
to his own Participant Contributions or to Company Contributions, transferred to any
Investment Fund other than Rockwell Automation Stock Fund B. Effective July 1, 2005 through

A transferred out of such Stock Fund and into one or more of the Plan’s other Investment Funds.
Effective July 1, 2005, any Participant who has completed three (3) years of Vesting Service and
who, therefore, has a fully vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Company Contribution Account
will be permitted at any time to have some or all of his interest in the Rockwell Automation Stock
Fund transferred out of such Stock Fund and into one or more of the Plan’s other Investment Funds.
Effective October 1, 2006, any Participant will be permitted at any time to have some or all of his
interest in the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund transferred out of such Stock Fund and into one more

4.045 Mandatory Transfer from the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Article IV to the contrary, effective November 7, 2007, any Participant who is
not an Employee at such time (including a Participant who is a Divested Business Employee) shall be
deemed to have elected to transfer that portion of his interest in the Rockwell Automation Stock
Fund that exceeds 15% of his total Account value as of such time to a target retirement Investment
Fund based on such Participant’s date of birth.



Further, for each Plan Year beginning after December 31, 2007, the Plan Administrator shall select
a date prior to June 30 on which any Participant who is not an Employee as of the preceding
December 31 (including a Participant who is a Divested Business Employee) shall be deemed to have
elected to transfer that portion of his interest in the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund that exceeds
15% of his total Account value to a target retirement Investment Fund based on such Participant’s
date of birth. The Plan Administrator shall give affected Participants at least sixty (60) days
prior notice of such transfer.

Sections will be subject to the following limitations:





	(a)	 	Any such transfer will be effected in dollar amounts or in increments of 1% of the value of
the Participant’s interest in a transferring Fund, but in no event will any such transfer be
in an amount less than Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00), except that if the balance of
a
Participant’s interest in a Fund is less than Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00), the
Participant may elect to have the entire balance of his interest in the Fund transferred.

	(b)	 	Transfer elections may be made at any time, but each such election by a Participant will
be effective and be thereafter irrevocable as of the New York Stock Exchange closing
immediately following the Participant’s election. The elections may be made by means of
any method (including any available telephonic or electronic method) which is acceptable
to the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that, if it is determined by the Plan
Administrator or his delegate that an investment election made by a Participant is invalid
or defective, the Participant’s election will, until duly corrected by him, be deemed to
have not been made.






	(c)	 	Prior to July 1, 2005, at no time may assets be transferred from any of the Investment Funds
or from the Exxon Stock Fund to Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A, except as is permitted
pursuant to Section 4.021, nor may assets be transferred from any of the Special Stock Funds
to Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A, except as is required by Section 4.030(a).






	(d)	 	At no time may any Plan assets be transferred to any of the Special Stock Funds or the Exxon
Stock Fund.




4.060 Participant’s Accounts. Separate Participant Contribution, Rollover (if applicable) and
Company Contribution Accounts will be established and maintained by the Trustee to represent all
amounts, adjusted for gains or losses thereon, which have been contributed by or on behalf of a
Participant as Participant Contributions, Rollover Contributions, Transfer Contributions, Company
Matching Contributions and Company Profit Sharing Contributions. Such separate Accounts must
contain sufficient information to permit a determination of the dollar balance of the Participant’s
Accounts at any time and to permit, with respect to Rockwell Automation Stock Funds A and B, the
Exxon Stock Fund and the Special Stock Funds, a determination of the number of equivalent shares of
common stock held on the Participant’s behalf in those Funds. Each Contribution on behalf of a
Participant to an Investment Fund or Rockwell Automation Stock Funds A and B and each payment made
to a Participant from an Investment Fund, the Exxon Stock Fund, a Special Stock Fund or Rockwell
Automation Stock Funds A and B will result in a credit or charge to the Account representing the
Participant’s interest in such Fund. In addition, dividend proceeds on Rockwell Automation common
stock held in Rockwell Automation Stock Funds A and B will be used for the purchase, when possible,
of additional shares of Rockwell Automation common stock for the two Funds and, therefore, will
result in appropriate adjustments to the balances in the said Funds and to the value of the
Participant’s interest in the said Funds. Effective July 1, 2005, “the Rockwell Automation Stock
Fund” shall be substituted for all instances of “Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A,” “Rockwell
Automation Stock Fund B” and “Rockwell Automation Stock Funds A and B” in this Section 4.060.



4.070 Valuation and Participant Statements. As of each Valuation Date, an amount equal to the fair
market value of the Funds (other than dividends received which are attributable to whole shares of
Rockwell Automation common stock which were or are to be transferred to Participant Accounts
subsequent to the record date for such dividend) will be determined by the Trustee in

such manner
and on such basis as it may deem appropriate. At least annually, but more frequently, if the Plan
Administrator should so determine, the Trustee will forward by mail to each Participant a
statement, in such form as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate, setting forth pertinent
information relative to each Participant’s Accounts. Such statement will, for all purposes, be
deemed to have been accepted as correct, unless the Plan Administrator (or the Trustee, as the case
may be) is notified to the contrary by mail within ninety (90) days of the date on which it was
mailed to the Participant.

ARTICLE V: VESTING AND ACCOUNT DISTRIBUTIONS




5.010 Vesting.





	(a)	 	Every Participant will at all times have a One Hundred Percent (100%) vested and
nonforfeitable interest in his After-tax Contribution Account, Pre-tax Contribution Account
and, if applicable, Rollover Account.
	 
	(b)	 	A Participant who attains age sixty five (65) or dies while still an Employee will thereafter
have a One Hundred Percent (100%) vested and nonforfeitable interest in his Company
Contribution Account. A Participant who has not yet attained age sixty five (65), but has
completed three (3) years of Vesting Service will have One Hundred Percent (100%) vested and
nonforfeitable interest in his Company Contribution Account.






	(c)	 	Subject to subsection (b) above, a Participant who terminates employment at any time prior to
completing three (3) years of Vesting Service will forfeit the portion of his Company
Contribution Account which is not vested on his Employment Severance Date:






	 	(1)	 	on his Employment Severance Date, if he receives a distribution of all of his
vested Account balances at that time, but the Participant may have the said forfeiture
restored, if he is reemployed by the Company or an Affiliated Company and repays the
previously distributed amount within five (5) years of his Employment Severance Date,
or
	 
	 	(2)	 	on the fifth anniversary of his Employment Severance Date, even though he does not
receive a distribution as a result of his termination of employment and even though he
is reemployed by the Company or an Affiliated Company, if his Reemployment Date is not
within five (5) years of his Employment Severance Date;






	 	 	provided, however, that a Participant’s Vesting Service with respect to Company Contributions
made after his Reemployment Date will include his Vesting Service prior to his Employment
Severance Date, if his Reemployment Date is less than five (5) years after his prior Employment
Severance Date.
	 
	(d)	 	Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section to the contrary, if the vesting
provisions in subsection (b) of this Section should be amended in the future, a Participant
who has completed three (3) years of Vesting Service at that time may elect to have his vested
percentage in his Company Contribution Account determined under the vesting provisions of
subsection (b) as they were set forth prior to the said amendment.






	(e)	 	Any Participant who is a Divested Business Employee (including any employee of Rockwell
Collins or of Rockwell Scientific Company LLC who was an Employee of the Company

immediately
prior to the Collins Spin-off) will have a One Hundred Percent (100%) vested and
nonforfeitable interest in such Participant’s Company Contribution Account resulting from
Company Matching Contributions and Company Profit Sharing Contributions made to that Account
prior to the transaction which resulted in him becoming a Divested Business Employee.


5.020 Retirement, Death, Termination of Employment. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.070 and
Section 5.080, as soon as administratively practicable after the occurrence of a Participant’s:





	(a)	 	Retirement,
	 
	(b)	 	death, or






	(c)	 	termination of employment,




a Participant or his Beneficiary (in the case of the Participant’s death) will receive the entire
vested balance of his Plan Account. In the case, however, of Retirement, a Participant who would
otherwise receive a distribution pursuant to the preceding sentence may instead make an election
pursuant to the terms of Section 5.050.



Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, distribution of a Participant’s vested
interest in his Accounts shall commence no later than the Participant’s “Required Beginning Date.”
The Participant’s Required Beginning Date is the April 1 following the close of the calendar year
in which the Participant attains age 701/2, if the Participant is a more than 5% owner of the Company
with respect to the Plan Year ending in that calendar year. For any other Participant, the
Participant’s “Required Beginning Date” is the April 1 following the close of the calendar year in
which the Participant terminates service with the Company, or if later, the April 1 following the
close of the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 701/2. Distributions under the Plan
made after the Participant’s Required Beginning Date shall be made in accordance with Article XIV.



5.030 Distributions to Participants Who Are Divested Business Employees. In the case of any
Participant who is a Divested Business Employee who was prohibited (such prohibition being
consistent with the Internal Revenue Service’s “same desk rule” in effect prior to September 1,
2000 for this Plan and other Code §401(k) plans) from having his Plan Account balance distributed
to him while he was still employed by the acquirer (including Boeing, Meritor and Conexant) of a
former component of the Company will be permitted to elect to have such Plan Account balance
distributed to him on or after September 1, 2000, even though he is
still employed by the said acquirer. Distributions under this Section will be made to the
Participant as soon as practicable following his providing the Plan Administrator or his delegate
with an election therefor. Such distributions must consist of the entire balance of the




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-32-









 







Participant’s Plan Account and must be paid in a lump sum in whatever form is elected by the
Participant pursuant to Section 5.040.



5.040 Form of Distributions – Stock or Cash. Distributions made under this Article will be made to
Participants and, when applicable, their Beneficiaries in the form of cash or common stock, or in a
combination of cash and common stocks, pursuant to subsections (a) and (b):





	(a)	 	With respect to Investment Funds (other than Rockwell Automation Stock Fund B or, after June
30, 2005, the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund), a Participant will receive the entire balance
of his Accounts in such Funds in cash. Such balance will be determined in the manner set
forth in Section 4.070, by reference to the value of the Participant’s interest:






	 	(1)	 	on the date of such Participant’s Retirement or termination of employment or,
	 
	 	(2)	 	in the case of the Participant’s death or disability and in the case of Divested
Business Employee’s election to receive such distribution, on the date all
documentation necessary to effect distribution has been received by the Plan
Administrator or his delegate.






	(b)	 	With respect to Rockwell Automation Stock Funds A and B, the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund
and the Special Stock Funds, the Participant will be permitted, if he should so elect, to
receive the entire balance of his Accounts in such Funds in the manner described in the
preceding subsection or in shares, as applicable, of Rockwell Automation, ExxonMobil, Boeing,
Meritor, Conexant, Rockwell Collins, Skyworks or MindSpeed common stock equal in number to the
maximum number of whole shares of common stock which could be purchased for the closing price
of that common stock on that date (as such price is documented on the New York Stock Exchange
— Composite Transactions listing) or, in the event such date falls on a day on which for any
reason there are no trades of such stock reflected on such listing, the next trading day
subsequent to that date. In addition, the Participant will be paid in cash for the value of
any partial shares of the said common stock and the amount of any cash dividends received
since that date which are attributable to the number of whole shares of common stock
distributed to him.




5.050 Payment Method for Distributions to Retiring Participants. Any Participant who is eligible
for and wishes to receive a distribution under Section 5.020 on account of his Retirement will make
an election concerning the form of distribution and will
provide such election to the Plan Administrator or the Plan Administrator’s delegate prior to
Retirement. The form of distributions such a Participant may elect will be in the form of either:




	(a)	 	a lump sum payment, or






Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-33-









 











	(b)	 	ten (10) or fewer annual installment payments, such installment payments to be equal to the
value of the Participant’s Accounts as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding
distribution, divided by the number of installments remaining at the time of each payment.
The initial installment payment will be made as soon as is practicable after the effective
date of the Participant’s election, with subsequent payments during the elected installment
payment period to be made as of the annual anniversary date of the initial installment
payment.




If a Participant who had previously Retired and commenced receipt of installment payments pursuant
to subsection (b) returns to employment with the Company or an Affiliated Company (except as a Flex
Force Employee), such installment payments will be suspended until the Participant’s subsequent
retirement, at which time he would be permitted again to make the election described therein. In
the event that no election concerning the form of distribution has been made by a Retired
Participant by the end of the calendar year in which he has attained age seventy and one-half
(70-1/2), distributions will be made in accordance with Article XIV.




5.060 [Reserved]



5.070 Participant’s Consent to Distribution of Benefits. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
the Plan to the contrary, if the aggregate value of the vested and nonforfeitable Account balances
of an individual who terminates his employment with the Company and is no longer a Plan Participant
is One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) ($5,000 for Plan Years prior to 2005) or less, the Plan
Administrator will arrange such balances to be consolidated and distributed to such Participant as
soon as practicable following such termination pursuant to in the manner set forth in Section
5.020.



If such vested and nonforfeitable amount is in excess of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) ($5,000
for Plan Years prior to 2005) and the Participant has not attained age seventy and one-half
(70-1/2) at the time distribution of benefits under the Plan would otherwise be made, no
distribution of benefits under the Plan will be made, unless the Plan Administrator or his delegate
first obtains the Participant’s consent thereto. In the event such consent is not so obtained, the
Participant’s Accounts will be retained by the Plan and will be maintained and valued in accordance
with Article IV. Distribution of the Participant’s Accounts pursuant to this Section will be made
following the date on which the Participant’s consent to such distribution is obtained or, if
earlier, the date on which the Participant attains age seventy and one-half (70-1/2) or dies, in
the manner provided under Article XIV and Section 5.080, respectively.



5.075 Cashout Forfeitures and Repayments. In the case of a Participant who receives a
distribution pursuant to Article V upon his termination of participation in this Plan when he
has less than three (3) years of Vesting Service, such Participant will, at the time of the
distribution, forfeit any portion of his Company Contribution Account which is not vested and
nonforfeitable at the time of his termination of participation in the Plan. If such Participant



Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-34-









 






should return to employment with the Company within five (5) years of the date of such
distribution and forfeiture, the said forfeiture will be restored, if he repays the amount
previously distributed. The amount restored, upon repayment of the distribution pursuant to
this Section, will be equal to the amount forfeited at the time of the distribution, such amount
to be unadjusted any gains or losses subsequent to the forfeiture and prior to the repayment.



Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Participant’s service with
respect to which he received a distribution under this Section or under Section 6.040 will not be
affected or reduced for eligibility purposes or for determination of his years of Vesting Service
under Section 5.010.



5.080 Distributions to Beneficiaries. In the event of a Participant’s death, a distribution to the
Participant’s Beneficiary shall be made as follows:





	(a)	 	A Non-spousal Beneficiary shall receive a lump-sum payment as soon as administratively
practicable following the Participant’s death.






	(b)	 	A Spousal Beneficiary shall continue to receive installment payments that the Participant
elected pursuant to Section 5.050, if any, unless such spousal Beneficiary elects to receive
the Participant’s remaining Account balance in a lump sum payment at any time following the
Participant’s death. In the event that no distribution election has been made by a Spousal
Beneficiary prior to the time distributions are required under Code §401(a)(9) and regulations
thereunder or installment payments are not completed by such time, distribution will be made
in accordance with Article XIV.




5.090 Transfer of Distribution Directly to Eligible Retirement Plan. If a Participant, a
Participant’s spouse entitled to distribution as his Beneficiary pursuant to Article VII or a
former spouse entitled to distribution pursuant to Section 9.120(b) or, effective as of September
1, 2007, any individual entitled to a distribution as a Beneficiary pursuant to Article VII should
so request in writing, the Plan Administrator will cause all or a portion of the amounts (including
shares of Rockwell Automation, Boeing, ExxonMobil, Meritor, Conexant, Rockwell Collins, MindSpeed
or Skyworks common stock) with respect to which the Participant would be taxed under Code §402 to
be transferred from the Trustee directly to the custodian of an Eligible Retirement Plan specified
by the Participant. Such request will be made, in the case of a Participant, at the time his
consent to such distribution is given to the Plan Administrator pursuant to Section 5.070, or at
such later date as the Plan Administrator permits, or, in the case of the Participant’s spouse or
former spouse, at such time as the Plan Administrator determines. Prior to effecting such a
transfer the Plan Administrator may require evidence reasonably satisfactory to him that the entity
to which such transfer is to be made is in fact an Eligible Retirement Plan and that such Eligible
Retirement Plan may receive the distribution in the forms required under this Article.

5.100 Uncashed Checks. If the Plan Administrator distributes the assets in a Participant’s Account
pursuant to this Article V and the distribution check is not cashed, a Participant will be entitled
to request a new check. In such case, the amount of the new check will be equal to the amount of
the original, uncashed distribution check and will not be adjusted for earnings and losses.

6.030 Hardship Withdrawals from Pre-tax Accounts. Subject to any restrictions the Plan
Administrator might establish with respect to loans made pursuant to Section 6.060, the following
provisions may apply, in the event of the occurrence of a Hardship.





	(a)	 	An Participant who has not attained age fifty-nine and one-half (59-1/2) may request approval
to withdraw some or all of the balance of his Pre-tax Contribution Account, if the Participant
can demonstrate that the withdrawal is required as a result of a Hardship (including payment
of any federal, state or local income taxes and penalties reasonably anticipated to result
from such Hardship withdrawal).






	(b)	 	Any determination of the existence of a Hardship, the reasonable availability to the
Participant of funds from other sources and the amount necessary to be withdrawn on account of
such Hardship will be made on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances and in
accordance with the provisions of this Section and Section 1.370, as applied in a uniform and
nondiscriminatory manner. Such determination may, if it is reasonable in light of all
relevant and known facts and circumstances, be based upon the Participant’s representation
that the Hardship cannot be relieved:






	 	(1)	 	through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;
	 
	 	(2)	 	by reasonable liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent that such
liquidation would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial need;
	 
	 	(3)	 	by suspension of Participant Contributions to the Plan; or




Plan 008

	 	(4)	 	by other distributions (other than Hardship distributions) or loans (which meet the
requirements of Code §72(p)) from the Plan and any other plan maintained by an
Affiliated Company or by any former employer or by borrowing from commercial sources at
reasonable commercial rates.






	(c)	 	An individual who receives a Hardship distribution pursuant to this Section prior to his
attainment of age fifty-nine and one-half (59-1/2) will not be permitted to make any
Participant Contributions to the Plan during the six (6) months immediately following his
receipt of the said Hardship distribution. In addition, such Hardship distributions will only
be available to Participants hereunder only once every six (6) months.






	(d)	 	The proceeds of a Hardship withdrawal made pursuant to this Section after December 31, 1999
may not be distributed or transferred (in the manner described in Section 6.070) from the
Trustee of this Plan as an eligible rollover distribution to the custodian or trustee of an
Eligible Retirement Plan.






	(e)	 	Hardship withdrawals will be paid to a Participant in the order set forth in Section
6.010(a).





6.040 Forfeitures and Suspensions.





	(a)	 	Subject to the exception described in subsection (b), in the event that a Participant with
less than three (3) years of Vesting Service makes a withdrawal under Section 6.010 with the
result that his Basic After-tax Contribution Account is the source of some or all of such
withdrawal, the Participant will at that time forfeit the unvested portion of his Company
Contribution Account which is attributable to the withdrawal. The forfeitable interest which
is attributable to the Participant’s Basic After-tax Contributions will be determined by
multiplying the dollar balance of the Participant’s Company Contribution Account by a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the dollar value of the Basic After-tax
Contributions which were withdrawn by the Participant and the denominator of which is the
total dollar value of his After-tax Contribution Account attributable to his Basic After-tax
Contributions (both such dollar values to be determined as of the date of the withdrawal).
Before July 1, 2005, the Participant may have the forfeiture restored, if he repays, as an
Employee of the Company, the amount previously withdrawn within five (5) years of the
withdrawal; provided, however, that such a repayment will not be permitted within the first
twelve (12) months immediately following the withdrawal.






	(b)	 	If a Participant applies for and receives a Hardship withdrawal, pursuant to Section 6.030,
from his Basic and /or Supplemental Pre-tax Contribution Account, the forfeitures described in
subsection (a) will not be applicable.




6.050 Allocation of Withdrawals Among Investment Funds. Withdrawals and forfeitures under Sections

Funds in a pro
rata fashion, based upon the relative size of such Accounts, but withdrawals for Hardship will not
be permitted to be taken at any time from a Participant’s Accounts, if any, in the Special Stock
Funds.



6.060 Loans. The Plan Administrator will establish, and may from time to time modify, procedures
pursuant to which any Employee or other “party in interest” (as defined in ERISA §3(14)) may apply
for and receive a loan from the Plan, in an amount not exceeding the least of (a), (b), (c) or (d):





	(a)	 	the aggregate of the balances in the borrower’s Pre-tax and After-tax Contribution Accounts
and, if applicable, in the portion of his Account attributable to QNECs or in his Rollover
Account;






	(b)	 	an amount which, when combined with all outstanding loans to the borrower from all other
plans of all Affiliated Companies, equals Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), reduced by the
excess, if any, of






	 	(1)	 	the highest outstanding and unpaid balances of all prior loans to the borrower from
the Plan and such other plans during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding
the date on which such loan is made, over
	 
	 	(2)	 	the outstanding balance of any loan to the borrower from the Plan or such other
plans on the date on which the loan is made;





(c) one-half (1/2) of the aggregate of the balances of the borrower’s Accounts; or





	(d)	 	such amount, not exceeding the amounts described in (a) through (c) above, as the Plan
Administrator determines.




All such loans will be made available to all eligible Employees and other parties in interest on a
reasonably equivalent and non-discriminatory basis and will be governed by the provisions of
Appendix C, as such Appendix is from time to time constituted, pursuant to determination of the
Plan Administrator.



6.070 Transfer of Distribution or Withdrawal to Eligible Retirement Plan. Except in the case of
Hardship withdrawals pursuant to Section 6.030, if a Participant who is entitled to an in-service
withdrawal under this Article VI should so request in writing at the time his election to receive
such withdrawal is made or at such later date as the Plan Administrator may permit, the Plan
Administrator will cause all or a portion of the amounts (including shares of

specified by
the Participant. Prior to effecting such transfer the Plan Administrator will require evidence
reasonably satisfactory to him that the entity to which such transfer is to be made is in fact an
Eligible Retirement Plan and that such Eligible Retirement Plan may receive the distribution in the
forms required under this Article. (Further, the Plan Administrator shall not direct the Trustee
to engage in a direct transfer of Pre-tax Accounts to another plan unless the Plan Administrator

ARTICLE VII: DEATH BENEFITS



7.010 Designation of a Beneficiary. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.020, in the event of a
Participant’s death, payment of the benefits provided under this Plan will be made to such person
or persons as he has designated as his Beneficiary to receive such benefits.



7.020 Spouse as Automatic Beneficiary. In the case of a Participant who has been married for at
least one (1) year at the time of his death and who dies prior to complete distribution of his
Accounts, the Beneficiary will be deemed to be the Participant’s spouse regardless of any contrary
designation, unless the Participant has filed with the Plan Administrator a written Beneficiary
designation naming a person or persons other than such spouse. Such written designation must be
accompanied by a written consent of the Participant’s spouse, but may be accepted by the Plan
Administrator without such a written consent, if it is established to the Plan Administrator’s
satisfaction that such a written consent cannot be obtained because:





	(a)	 	there is no spouse;
	 
	(b)	 	the spouse cannot be located; or
	 
	(c)	 	other circumstances exist, as permitted under Code §417(a)(2), which prevent presentation of
such consent to the Plan Administrator.




Such written consent (which must be witnessed by a notary public) must be on a form furnished to
the Participant by the Plan Administrator and must acknowledge the effect of the consent. In the
event that a Participant has a new spouse to whom he has been married for a one (1) year period,
the previous designation of a prior spouse will be void and the new spouse will be deemed to be the
Participant’s Beneficiary, unless the Participant makes a written designation of a person or
persons other than the new spouse in a manner described above in this Section.



7.030 Beneficiary Changes. A Participant may change his designation of Beneficiary at any time by
filing a request for such change with the Plan Administrator (or such other person as is designated
by the Plan Administrator). Such change will become effective only upon receipt of the request by
the Plan Administrator (or the Plan Administrator’s delegate), but upon such receipt, the change
will relate back to and be effective as of the date the Participant signed such request; provided,
however, that the Plan Administrator, the other named fiduciaries and the Trust Fund will be not be
liable in any way or to any degree for any payment made to the Beneficiary designated before
receipt of such request.



7.040 Participant’s Estate as Beneficiary in Certain Cases. The benefits payable from a
Participant’s Accounts at the time of his death will be paid to the Participant’s estate, if any of
the following circumstances should exist at the time of his death:





	(a)	 	no valid designation of Beneficiary exists pursuant to this Article;




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-44-









 












	(b)	 	the Plan Administrator or Trustee has a doubt as to the rights of a potential Beneficiary; or
	 
	(c)	 	a previously designated Beneficiary predeceases the Participant.




In such case, the Plan Administrator and the Trustee will not be individually liable in any manner
and to any degree with respect to such payment.



7.050 Payment to a Beneficiary. Upon receipt by the Plan Administrator (or another person
designated by him) of evidence satisfactory to such person of the death of a Participant and of the
identity and existence at the time of such death of the Beneficiary, the Plan Administrator will
direct the Trustee to pay the Participant’s Accounts to such Beneficiary in accordance with Article
V.

existence of the Trust Agreement or the Plan, or any action taken under them.



9.150 Payments on Behalf of Incompetent Participants or Beneficiaries. In the event that the Plan
Administrator or his designee finds that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is
payable under the terms of this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because of illness or
accident, is otherwise mentally or physically incompetent, or unable to give a valid receipt, the
Plan Administrator may cause the payment becoming due to such Participant or Beneficiary to be paid
to another person for his benefit without responsibility on the part of the Plan Administrator, the
Employee Benefit Plan Committee, the Employee Benefits Appeals Committee, the Company or the
Trustee to follow the application of such payment. Any such payment will be a payment for the
account of the Participant or Beneficiary and will operate as a complete discharge of all liability
therefor under this Plan of the Trustee, the Company, the Plan Administrator, the Employee Benefits
Appeals Committee and the Employee Benefit Plan Committee.

ARTICLE X: PARTICIPANT CLAIMS



10.010 Claims and Appeals Procedures. The following paragraphs set forth the exclusive procedure
for making claims against the Plan. Any person making a claim hereunder shall proceed as follows:





	(a)	 	Request for Benefits. Benefits shall be requested by written application on a form
filed in accordance with procedures established and uniformly applied by the Plan
Administrator or its delegate. The Employee Benefits Appeals Committee or its delegate shall
make all determinations as to the right of any Participant, Beneficiary, or spouse to receive
a benefit under the Plan and the amount of such benefit. The time, manner, and form of
distribution of such benefit shall occur in accordance with the terms of the Plan.






	(b)	 	Claims. If a Participant believes that the requested benefit was erroneously denied
or that the amount of a withdrawal or distribution from the Plan is in error or if an Employee
believes that he has been improperly denied the right to participate in the Plan or receive a
contribution to the Plan, such Participant or Employee must make a claim to the Employee
Benefits Appeals Committee in such manner and pursuant to such procedure as established by the
Committee. A claimant who fails to reduce a claim to writing shall be deemed not to have made
such claim.






	(c)	 	Decision on Claims. The Employee Benefits Appeals Committee or its delegate will
make a decision with respect to a claim within 90 days of the receipt of the written claim,
unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a
decision must be rendered within 180 days (notice of the delay must be furnished within the
initial 90-day period, however). If a claim is wholly or partially denied, the claimant shall
receive from the Employee Benefits Appeals Committee a written notice which includes the
following: (A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial, (B) specific references to
pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which the denial is based, (C) a description of any
additional material or information necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation as to why such material or information is necessary, (D) appropriate information
as to the steps to be taken if the claimant wishes to submit a claim for review and (E) a
statement of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA §502(a) following an adverse
benefit determination on review.






	(d)	 	Appeal. Any person whose claim has been denied as set forth in (c) may appeal the
denial to the Employee Benefits Appeals Committee by filing a written appeal within sixty (60)
days of the date of receipt of the denial. In such review, the claimant or his duly
authorized representative shall have the right to review any pertinent Plan documents and to
submit any issues or comments in writing. In addition, the claimant (i) shall have the right
to submit
documents, records, and other information relating to the claim for benefits; and (ii) shall be

provided upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents,
records, and other information that is relevant to the claim for benefits. In the sole
discretion of the Employee Benefits Appeals Committee or its delegate, the Committee may arrange
to meet with the claimant and/or the claimant’s representative or have a hearing for the purpose
of understanding the claimant’s position and any related evidence which the claimant wishes to
offer. In all cases, the Committee’s review of the appeal shall take into account all comments,
documents, records, and other information submitted by the claimant, without regard to whether
such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.



     For purposes of this Section, information is considered “relevant” to a claimant’s claim if
such document, record, or other information (i) was relied upon in making the benefit
determination; (ii) was submitted, considered, or generated in the course of making the benefit
determination, without regard to whether such document, record, or other information was relied
upon in making the determination; or (iii) demonstrates compliance with the Plan’s review
procedures and that, if appropriate, the Plan provisions have been applied consistently with
respect to similarly situated claimants.




	(e)	 	Decision on Appeal. The Employee Benefits Appeals Committee or its delegate, within
sixty (60) days after receipt of the request for review, or, in special circumstances such as
where the Committee or its delegate in its sale discretion finds there is a need to hold a
hearing, within one hundred and twenty (120) days of receipt of the request for review (in
which case notice of the delay will be given to the claimant during the initial sixty- (60)
day period), shall give written notice of its decision to the claimant in writing. The notice
shall include specific reasons for the decision and specific references to the pertinent Plan
provisions upon which the decision is based. In addition, the written notice of the decision
denying a claim shall contain (i) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon
request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and
other information that is relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits, and (ii) a statement
of the claimant’s right to bring an action under ERISA §502(a). If the appeal has not been
granted and the notice is not furnished within the period of time specified above, the appeal
shall be deemed to be denied. The decision on appeal shall be binding on all parties.




10.020 Limitation on Legal Action. In the event a claim is finally determined under this Article
X, no legal action shall be brought against the Plan, the Plan Administrator, the Employee Benefit
Plan Committee, the Employee Benefits Appeals Committee or the Company more than two years after
the date of final determination, nor shall any claim or other action be brought against the Plan,
the Plan Administrator, the Employee Benefit Plan Committee, the Employee Benefits Appeals
Committee or the Company more than two years after the claimant knew or should have known of the
existence of such claim or action.

ARTICLE XI: AMENDMENT, MERGERS, TERMINATION, ETC.



11.010 Amendment. The Board of Directors or its designee may, at any time and from time to time,
amend this Plan in whole or in part. However, except as provided in Section 11.040 below, no
amendment may be made, the effect of which would be:





	(a)	 	to cause any contributions paid to the Trustee to be used for or diverted to purposes other
than providing benefits to the Participants and their Beneficiaries, and defraying reasonable
expenses of administering the Plan, prior to satisfaction of all liabilities with respect to
Participants and their Beneficiaries;






	(b)	 	to have any retroactive effect so as to deprive any Participant or Beneficiary of any benefit
to which he would be entitled under this Plan if his employment were terminated immediately
before such amendment; or






	(c)	 	to increase the responsibilities or liabilities of the Trustee without its written consent.




11.020 Transfer of Assets and Liabilities. The Employee Benefit Plan Committee at any time may, in
its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant or his representative, cause the
Trustee to segregate part of the assets of the Trust Fund into one or more separate trust funds and
designate a group of Participants whose benefits will be provided solely from each such segregated
fund. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion without the consent of any Participant or
his representative, establish a separate plan to cover any such group of Participants. The initial
terms and conditions of any such plan will be identical to the extent such terms and conditions
affect the rights of Participants under the Plan. Amendment to the Plan will not be necessary to
carry out the provisions of this Section.



11.030 Merger Restriction. The Company may, by action of the Board of Directors, merge this Plan,
in whole or in part, with any other plan sponsored by the Company or by an Affiliate of the
Company. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Plan may not in whole or in part be
merged or consolidated with, or have its assets or liabilities transferred to any other plan,
unless each affected Participant in this Plan would (if the Plan then terminated) receive a benefit
immediately after the merger, consolidation, or transfer which is equal to or greater than the
benefit he would have been entitled to receive immediately before the merger, consolidation, or
transfer (if the Plan had then terminated).



11.040 Suspension of Contributions. The Company may, without amendment of the Plan and without the
consent of any Participant or representative of any Participant, suspend contributions to the Plan
as to all or certain Participants by action of the Board of Directors. In any event, the Company
will suspend contributions at any time when the amount of any
contribution by it would be in excess of the earnings, including retained earnings, of the Company.
Upon a suspension, the Employee Benefit Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion permit the
Trust

Fund to continue to be held by the Trustee, or may segregate one or more parts of the Trust
Fund, as provided in Section 11.020.



11.050 Discontinuance of Contributions. The Company may, by action of the Board of Directors,
without amendment of the Plan and without the consent of any Participant or representative of any
Participant, discontinue such contributions to the Plan as to all or certain Participants.



11.060 Termination. The Company may terminate or partially terminate the Plan at any time. Upon
such termination or partial termination of the Plan, or upon a complete discontinuance of
contributions pursuant to Section 11.050, the Accounts of each affected Participant will remain
fully vested and nonforfeitable. In the event of termination or partial termination the Employee
Benefit Plan Committee may, without the consent of any Participant or other person, permit the
Trustee to retain all or part of the Trust Fund or distribute all or part of the Trust Fund to the
Participants or their spouses or Beneficiaries.

ARTICLE XII: STATUTORY LIMITATIONS



12.010 Annual Limits of Participants’ Account Increases. This Article is intended to conform the
Plan to the requirements of Code §415, and the regulations issued thereunder; and will be
administered and interpreted in accordance with such requirements and regulations; and
notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, no amount may be credited to any
Participant’s Account which is in excess of the limitation imposed by said §415, as from time to
time amended or replaced. The amount allocated in each calendar year to any Participant under the
combination of defined contribution plans of all Affiliated Companies cannot exceed the lesser of
Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00), or such larger amount as may be established under Code
§415(d)(1) to reflect an increase in the cost of living, or 100% of the Participant’s total
compensation. For purposes of this limitation, the amount allocated will be deemed to be comprised
of Company Matching Contributions and Company Profit Sharing Contributions and the Participant’s
Pre-tax and After-tax Contributions.



12.015 Excess Annual Additions. If an amount in excess of the limitation imposed by Code §415
were to be credited to a Participant’s Account in contravention of Section 12.010 with respect to
a particular Plan Year as a result of estimation of annual Compensation, the allocation of
forfeitures or a reasonable error in determining the amount of elective deferrals that may be made
with respect to the Participant pursuant to Code §402(g)(3), such excess will be used to reduce
employer contributions for that Participant for the following Plan Year (and, if necessary, for
succeeding Plan Years), if the Participant is still a Participant at the end of such first Plan
Year. If, on the other hand, the said Participant is not covered by the Plan in that Plan Year,
then the excess will be held in suspense for the remainder of the Plan Year and will be allocated
or reallocated in the following Plan Years among the Accounts of all of the Participants prior the
making of any contributions in such following Plan Years.



12.020 Combining Similar Plans. For purposes of this Article, all defined contribution plans which
are required to be aggregated under Code §414(b) will be so aggregated and the limitation set forth
herein will be applied to the total amounts allocated under all such plans.

solely from the trust, and the Company assumes no responsibility for the acts of the Trustee,
except as provided in the Trust Agreement.



13.020 Requirement for Release. Any payment to any Participant or a Participant’s present, future
or former spouse or Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of this Plan will, to the extent
thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan, the Plan Administrator, the
Trustee and the Company, and the Trustee may require such Participant or Beneficiary, as a
condition precedent to such payment to execute a receipt and release to such effect.



13.030 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of Rockwell Automation, Boeing, ExxonMobil, Meritor and
Conexant, MindSpeed, Rockwell Collins and Skyworks common stock from the Plan will be made as soon
as practicable, but the Company, the Plan Administrator, any other Named Fiduciary and the Trustee
will not have any responsibility for any decrease in the value of such common stock between the
Valuation Date used for determination of the number of shares to which the Participant is entitled
and the date of transfer by the transfer agent, nor will the Participant receive any dividends,
rights, options or warrants on such stock other than those payable to stockholders of record as of
a date on or after the date of transfer.



13.040 Rights of Reemployed Veterans. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the
contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service
will be provided in accordance with Code §414(u).



13.050 Qualification of the Plan. The Company intends for the Plan to be qualified and approved by
the Internal Revenue Service under Code §401(a) and for Company Contributions to be deductible by
the Company for federal income tax purposes. Continuation of the Plan is contingent upon and
subject to retaining such qualification and approval. Any modification or amendment of the Plan or
the Trust Agreement may be made retroactively by the Company, if necessary or appropriate, to
qualify or maintain the Plan and the Trust as a plan and trust meeting the requirements of
applicable provisions of the Code and of other federal and state laws, as are now or in the future
may be in effect. No contribution made by the Company may revert to the Company, unless such
contribution was the result of a good faith mistake of fact, in which case such contribution may be
returned to the Company within one (1) year to the extent permitted by all applicable laws.



13.060 Interpretation. The masculine gender will include the feminine and the singular will
include the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.



13.070 No Contract of Employment. The adoption and maintenance of this Plan shall not be construed
as creating any contract of employment between the Company or any Affiliated

Company and any
employee, and each such Company shall have the right in all respects to deal with its employees,
their hiring, discharge, compensation and conditions of employment as though the Plan did not
exist. No employee shall have any right to question the action of any such Company in
discontinuing its contributions to this Plan or in terminating this Plan in its entirety. Each
Participant shall have the right to see the record of his Account(s) but no right to inquire as to
the Accounts of other Participants.

ARTICLE XIV: MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS



14.010 General Rules. This Article sets forth revised rules regarding minimum distributions
utilizing Model Plan Amendment 1 from Revenue Procedure 2002-29 (with minor changes as permitted by
that Revenue Procedure) as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Article XIV does
not expand the forms of distribution available under the Plan, nor does it allow Participants to
defer commencement of distributions beyond what is allowed in Article V. If another provision of
the Plan calls for an earlier distribution or a larger payment on any given date, such provision
shall supersede this Article XIV.





	(a)	 	Effective Date. The provisions of this Article XIV will apply for purposes of
determining required minimum distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar
year.






	(b)	 	Precedence. Except as provided above, the requirements of this Article will take
precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.






	(c)	 	Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under
this Article will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under
Code §401(a)(9).




14.020 Time and Manner of Distribution.





	(a)	 	Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or
begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning
date.






	(b)	 	Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before
distributions begin, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be
distributed, no later than as follows:






	 	(i)	 	if the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary,
then distributions to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by December 31 of
the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70-1/2, if later.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, then distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31 of
the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	if there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the
year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by
December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s
death.




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-64-









 












	 	(iv)	 	if the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary
and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to the
surviving spouse begin, this Section 14.020(b), other than Section 14.02(b)(i), will apply
as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.




For purposes of this Section 14.020(b) and Section 14.040, unless Section 14.020(b)(iv) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the Participant’s required beginning date. If Section
14.020(b)(iv) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required
to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 14.020(b)(i). If distributions under an annuity
purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Participant before the
Participant’s required beginning date (or to the Participant’s surviving spouse before the date
distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 14.020(b)(i)), the date
distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.





	(c)	 	Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form
of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required
beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in
accordance with Sections 14.030 and 14.040 of this Article. If the Participant’s interest is
distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions
thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Code §401(a)(9) of the Code and
the Treasury regulations.





14.030 Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.





	(a)	 	Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During
the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution
calendar year is the lesser of:






	 	(i)	 	the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the distribution
period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treas. Reg. §1.401(a)(9)-9 of the
Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the
distribution calendar year; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	if the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is
the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account
balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treas. Reg.
§1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained
ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.




(b) Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s
Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 14.030
beginning
with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution
calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death.

14.040 Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.





	(a)	 	Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.






	 	(i)	 	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or
after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum
amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance
by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life
expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows:






	 	(A)	 	The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the
Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.
	 
	 	(B)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for
each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the
surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution
calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life
expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse
as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one
for each subsequent calendar year.
	 
	 	(C)	 	If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated
beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using
the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death,
reduced by one for each subsequent year.






	 	(ii)	 	No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date
distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient
obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s remaining life
expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one
for each subsequent year.






	(b)	 	Death Before Date Distributions Begin.






	 	(i)	 	Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before
the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that
will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s
death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the
remaining 




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-66-









 






	 	 	 	life expectancy of the Participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as
provided in Section 14.040(a). 

	 	(ii)	 	No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date
distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year
following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire
interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Participant’s death.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to
Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s
surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse
dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section
14.020(b)(i), this Section 14.040(b) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
Participant.




14.050 Definitions.



     (a) Designated beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the beneficiary under
Section 1.130 of the Plan and is the designated beneficiary under Code §401(a)(9) and Treas. Reg.

     (b) Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is
required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution
calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the
Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death,
the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to
begin under Section 14.020(b). The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first
distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant’s required beginning date. The
required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum
distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s required beginning date
occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.



     (c) Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in
Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

APPENDIX C

PROCEDURES, TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LOANS



Eligibility for Loans. The individuals eligible to obtain loans from the Plan
(“Borrowers”) are limited to:





	 	(1)	 	Employees, and
	 
	 	(2)	 	non-Employees who are “parties in interest” (as defined in ERISA §3(14))




who have Plan Account balances. An Employee who wishes to obtain a loan must be employed on an
active payroll of an Affiliated Company at the time of the loan application. A party in interest
who is not an Employee will be eligible to obtain a loan only if an agreement can be provided by
the party’s current employer to deduct and remit the required loan repayments to the Savings Plan.



Limitation on Number and Minimum Amount of Loans. Only two (2) loans to a Borrower will be
permitted to be outstanding from all Company sponsored savings plans at any one time. Each loan
must be for a minimum of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00).



Maximum Amount of Loan. The amount which a Borrower will be permitted to borrow from the
Plan is based on the aggregate value of the Borrower’s Accounts, determined in accordance with the
Plan, and may not exceed the least of the amounts described in Section 6.060 of the Plan. The
maximum amount of any loan will be further limited to ensure that, after applying the appropriate
interest rate and taking into account all applicable deductions, the resulting periodic repayments
will not exceed the Borrower’s net earnings. The deductions referred to in the preceding sentence
include statutory withholdings, deductions for employee benefits and all Pre-tax contributions to
the Plan.



Loan Applications. Loan applications by prospective Borrowers will be made via telephone
to the Plan Administrator or such third party administrator as may be designated by the Plan
Administrator (either of whom is hereafter referred to as the “Loan Administrator”). The Loan
Administrator will then review the telephonic application and determine eligibility for the loan.
If the loan is approved, the Loan Administrator will prepare and forward to the Borrower a letter
notifying the Borrower of the approval, together with a Truth in Lending Statement and a check for
the loan amount, all in form approved by the Plan Administrator. The Borrower’s endorsement of the
loan check will be considered to be the Borrower’s agreement to the terms of the loan. Failure by
the Borrower to endorse the check within thirty (30) days after the date of the check will be
deemed to be a withdrawal by the Borrower of the loan application.




Plan 008
Restated 1-1-08

-71-









 







Loan Initiation Fee. A fee in the amount of Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) will be assessed
in connection with the initiation of each loan. This fee will be deducted from the Borrower’s Plan
Account at the same time that the loan is approved and processed.



Source of Loan Funds. Each loan will be funded from the Borrower’s Investment Funds on a
pro rata basis, based upon the relative size of the balance of each such Fund, by withdrawing the
required amounts from the Plan Account(s) of the Borrower in the following order:




	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	First
	 	—
	 	from amounts in the Borrower’s Pre-tax Contribution Account attributable to his Supplemental Pre-tax
Contributions;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Second
	 	—
	 	from amounts in the Borrower’s Pre-tax Contribution Account attributable to his Catch-up Contributions;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Third
	 	—
	 	from amounts in the Borrower’s Pre-tax Contribution Account attributable to his Basic Pre-tax Contributions;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Fourth
	 	—

	 	Fifth

Contributions;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Sixth
	 	—

	 	Eighth
	 	—
	 	from amounts in the Borrower’s Contribution Accounts attributable to his after-tax Rollover Contributions.





Determination of Loan Interest Rate. The interest rate to be charged for loans will be one
percent (1%) over the prime rate stated by The Wall Street Journal published on the last business
day of each calendar month.



Term of Loans. Loans will be permitted for terms of 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months for loans
other than those for the purpose of purchasing a primary residence, which will be permitted for
terms up to 120 months.



Repayments. Loan repayments by Employees will be deducted from the Employee’s pay check
each pay period. If a pay check is insufficient to cover the full
amount of the loan repayment, no

deduction will be made, and the repayment will be deducted from the Employee’s next pay check.




Prepayments. Prepayment of a loan will not be permitted during the first 30 days of the
loan’s existence, but the full unpaid balance of the loan may be prepaid by a Borrower at any time
after 30 days. Partial prepayments in excess of scheduled payroll deductions will not be accepted.



Missed Payments. If any payment is not made, interest will continue to accrue on such
missed payment and subsequent payments will be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest on the
missed payment and then to principal. A notice will be mailed to the last known address of the
Borrower stating that if three (3) consecutive months of payments are missed, the loan will be
considered to be in default.



Termination of Employment. If a Borrower who is an Employee terminates employment or is on
an unpaid Leave, or if a Borrower who is not an Employee is no longer able to repay a loan through
payroll deductions, the Borrower may continue to make loan repayments by bank check, cashier check,
personal check or money order. Such repayments to the Plan will be made through the Loan
Administrator at an address to be provided to the Borrower by the Loan Administrator.



Default. A loan will be considered to be in default after three (3) consecutive months of
payments have been missed during the term of the loan or when a Borrower revokes a payroll
deduction authorization. In the event of such a default, a distribution of the loan amount,
including both unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest, will be deemed to have occurred
(as described in §1.401(k)-1(d)(6)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations) and an information return
reflecting the tax consequences, if any, to the Borrower will be issued. Upon the occurrence of an
event permitting actual distribution of the Borrower’s Account pursuant to the provisions of Code
§401(k) (whether distribution of the Borrower’s entire Plan Account will actually be made or will
be deferred pursuant to applicable provisions of the Plan), the unpaid balance of a defaulted loan
will be charged off against the Borrower’s Account. If no distribution event has occurred, which
would otherwise permit payment to the Borrower under Code §401(k), the unpaid balance of the loan
will be retained in the Account until such time as payment would be permitted under that Code
Section, at which time the unpaid balance of the loan, including any accrued and unpaid interest,
will be charged off against the Borrower’s Account.

defined contribution plans in the Aggregation Group exceeds sixty percent (60%) of the sum of the
present values of accrued benefits under all such defined benefit plans and of all accounts under
all such defined contribution plans for all participants under such plans.




D-II. APPLICATION OF THIS APPENDIX



In the event that this Plan is or becomes a Top-Heavy Plan, the provisions of this Appendix, where
aggregated with each other defined contribution plan in the Aggregation Group in which a Key
Employee is a participant, will be applied as follows:



D2.010 Minimum Contributions. The following special provisions regarding contributions will
become applicable and will supersede the Company contribution provisions contained elsewhere in
this Plan. In such case, the Plan, where aggregated with each other defined contribution plan in
the Aggregation Group in which a Key Employee is a participant, will provide a minimum allocation
to the account of each Participant who is not a Key Employee for each Plan Year to which these
rules apply equal to the lesser of:





	(a)	 	four percent (4%) of the Participant’s Compensation, or






	(b)	 	the highest percentage of contribution made for the Plan Year to a Participant who is
a Key Employee for such Plan Year.




D2.020 Vesting. A Participant’s nonforfeitable right to his Company Contribution Account will not
be less than the amount determined pursuant to the following schedule:




	 	 	 	 	 
	Years of Service	 	Vested Interest
	Less than two
	 	 	0	%
	Two but less than three
	 	 	20	%
	Three or more
	 	 	100	%





If the Plan ceases to be a Top-Heavy Plan, the vesting schedule set forth in Section 5.010(b) will
again become applicable; provided that a Participant’s nonforfeitable right to his Company
Contribution Account will not be less than his nonforfeitable right to his balance in that Account
immediately before the Plan ceased to be a Top-Heavy Plan.

D2.030 Maximum Compensation. For any Plan Year in which the Plan is a Top-Heavy Plan, only the
first Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00) of a Participant’s Base Compensation will be taken
into account for purposes of determining benefits under the Plan; provided, however, that such
amount will be automatically adjusted as prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.



D2.040 Determination of Present Values and Amounts. This Section D2.040 shall apply for purposes
of determining the present values of accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of
Participants as of the determination date.





	(a)	 	Distributions during year ending on the determination date. The present values of
accrued benefits and the amounts of account balances of a Participant as of the determination
date shall be increased by the distributions made with respect to the Participant under the
Plan and any plan aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the
1-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to
distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been
aggregated with the Plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a
distribution made for a reason other than separation from service, death, or disability, this
provision shall be applied by substituting “5-year period” for “1-year period.”






	(b)	 	Employees not performing services during year ending on the determination date. The
accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the Company
during the 1-year period ending on the determination date shall not be taken into account.





D2.050 Minimum Benefits.





	(a)	 	Matching contributions. Company Matching Contributions shall be taken into account
for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Section 416(c)(2) of the
Code and the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Company Matching
Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution
requirement shall be met in another plan, matching contributions to such other plan. Company
Matching Contributions that are used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements shall be
treated as matching contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and
other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.






	(b)	 	Contributions under other plans. The Company may provide that the minimum benefit
requirement shall be met in another plan (including another plan that consists solely of a
cash or deferred arrangement which meets the requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the
Code
and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Section 401(m)(11) of the
Code are met).

supersede any provisions of the Plan to the contrary. Notwithstanding the above, the conversion of
the two Stock Funds (after June 30, 3005, one Stock Fund) and their designation as ESOPs are
intended to create separate plans. Assets attributable to the two ESOPs (after June 30, 2005, one
ESOP) will continue to be assets of the Plan and will be available for the payment of all benefits
under the Plan.

the said Rockwell Automation Stock Funds will continue thereafter while invested in one or both of
the said Stock Funds to be invested primarily in stock of the Company which meets the definition of
an “employer security” under §409(l) of the Code. At that time and from time to time thereafter,
the Trustee will establish and maintain, if applicable, for each Participant:





	(a)	 	Prior to July 1, 2005, a Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A ESOP Account, consisting of that
portion of the Participant’s interest in the Plan which is attributable to Company Matching
Contributions and which holds the Company’s common stock in Rockwell Automation Stock Fund A;
and






	(b)	 	Prior to July 1, 2005, a Rockwell Automation Stock Fund B ESOP Account, consisting of that
portion of the Participant’s interest in the Plan which is attributable to his own Basic and

single account consisting of all of the Participant’s interest in the Plan in the Company’s
common stock in the Rockwell Automation Stock Fund.




It is specifically understood and provided that, other than cash and/or cash equivalents, the ESOP
Accounts under this Plan will at all times be invested solely in the Company’s common stock and in
other stock of the Company, as such common stock and other stock may be deemed to be “employer
securities” pursuant to §409(l) of the Code. It is further understood and provided that the
above-described ESOP Accounts are established for bookkeeping purposes only and will not be
segregated from the other assets of the Plan.



E2.020 Code §401(m) Discrimination Testing. The provisions of Section 3.015 will be applied
separately to Company Matching Contributions which are invested in the Rockwell Automation Stock
Fund A ESOP Account or, after June 30, 2005, a Rockwell Automation Stock Fund ESOP Account, as if
those Matching Contributions were made under a separate plan.



E2.030 Transfers between ESOP and Non-ESOP Accounts. Participants will be permitted to elect
transfers of assets involving their Stock Fund A ESOP and Stock Fund B ESOP Accounts or, after June

be subject to the provisions and limitations, respectively, of Sections 4.040, 4.021 and 4.020 of
the Plan. This Section of this Appendix E, when administered in conjunction with the provisions of
