Re: Offer Letter

Dear Jerome:

I am pleased to confirm our offer to you to become the Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary of Honeywell Transportation Systems (“TS”), a strategic business unit of Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”), at a mutually agreed upon date. This offer is based in Rolle, Switzerland and reports directly to me. As you know, we anticipate that TS will be spun off as an independent public company (the “Company”) sometime after June 30, 2018 (the actual spin-off date, if applicable, is hereinafter referred to as the “Separation Date”). Your employment with Honeywell (and ultimately the Company) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this offer letter.

In connection with your new role, you will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits package: 

COMPENSATION

Base Salary: As of the Separation Date, your annual base salary will be increased to CHF 450,000. After the Separation Date, any base salary adjustments shall be made by the Company’s Board of Directors from time to time. Adjustments will be based on your performance and other relevant factors.

Annual Incentive Compensation From the Company: As of the Separation Date, your target incentive compensation opportunity will be 60% of your annual cash base salary earnings during the year. For 2018, your incentive compensation award will be prorated based on the number of days your target incentive was 40% and the number of days your target incentive will be 60%. Incentive compensation awards are paid in the first quarter of the following year.

For the full 2018 performance year, your incentive compensation award shall be paid entirely by the Company (i.e., no pro-rated incentive award shall be paid by Honeywell), provided the spin is effectuated as planned.

Annual Long-Term Incentive Awards From the Company: As of the Separation Date, you will be eligible for annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards with an initial target value of 189% of your Base Salary. The size and mix of future LTI awards will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors based on your performance and future career potential. The terms of all LTI awards will be governed by the terms of the applicable stock plan and the relevant award agreements.

Honeywell Growth Plan Units: The liability for the second tranche of your award for the 2016-2017 Growth Plan performance cycle shall be paid out in the normal course during the first quarter of 2019. You understand and acknowledge that Honeywell may assign the liability for such amount to the Company and you agree and acknowledge that any such payments received from the Company shall be in full satisfaction of Honeywell’s liability for such payments.

Vested Honeywell Stock Options: You will retain any vested Honeywell stock options. Notwithstanding anything in the Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) and governing award agreements to the contrary, you will have the original full remaining term to exercise such vested stock options.

Unvested Honeywell Stock Options: Any Honeywell stock options that were granted prior to 2018 and have not vested as of Separation Date shall be replaced with Company restricted stock units. Such Company restricted stock units shall vest on the same dates as the underlying unvested Honeywell stock options that were replaced.

2018 Honeywell Stock Options: Honeywell stock options granted in 2018 that have not vested as of Separation Date shall be replaced with Company restricted stock units at their original grant date value (i.e., the Black-Scholes value). Such Company restricted stock units shall vest on the same dates as the underlying unvested 2018 Honeywell stock options that were replaced. Honeywell Time-Based Restricted Stock Units: Except for Honeywell time-based restricted stock units scheduled to vest in July 2018, any unvested Honeywell time-based restricted stock units shall be replaced with Company restricted stock units. Such Company restricted stock units shall vest on the same schedule as if they had remained Honeywell restricted stock units. Any time-based Honeywell restricted stock units scheduled to vest in July 2018, shall remain with Honeywell and vest in accordance with the current vesting schedule.

Honeywell Performance Plan Units: Your Honeywell Performance Plan units for the 2017-2019 performance cycle shall be replaced with Company restricted stock units based upon the then latest estimate of Honeywell performance for the 2017-2019 performance cycle. Such Company restricted stock units shall vest on the same schedule as if they had remained Honeywell Performance Plan units. Your Honeywell Performance Plan units for the 2018-2020 performance cycle shall be forfeited.

Sign-On Long-Term Incentive Awards From the Company: You will be granted $1,000,000 USD worth of Company restricted stock units as of the Separation Date as a “founder’s grant.” These restricted stock units will vest 50% in Year 3 and 50% in Year 4, assuming you are still employed by the Company as of such date. The “founders grant” is expressly conditioned on the successful spin-off of Honeywell TS as an independent public company. 

For purposes of this offer letter, unless otherwise noted, whenever Honeywell equity awards are being converted into Company equity awards, such conversion shall be based on (i) the “regular-way” closing price of Honeywell common stock on the last trading day immediately prior to the Separation Date, and (ii) the “when-issued” closing price of Company common stock on the last trading day immediately prior to the Separation Date.

OTHER EXECUTIVE BENEFITS 

You will also be entitled to the following Executive Benefits after the Separation Date: 


	
 
	
•
	
Welfare and Retirement: As provided to other employees of the Company (to be determined).





	
 
	
•
	
Vacation: As provided to other executives of the Company (to be determined). 





	
 
	
•
	
Executive Severance: As provided to other executives of the Company (to be determined). 




STOCK OWNERSHIP GUIDELINES FOR COMPANY OFFICERS 

As an Executive Officer of the Company, you will be required to hold a multiple of your annual base salary in Company shares (to be determined by the Company) in accordance with the Company’s Stock Ownership Guidelines.

RELOCATION 

A condition of the offer is that you agree to relocate to the Rolle, Switzerland area and to be localized in Switzerland. You will be eligible for relocation assistance in accordance with the Company’s relocation guidelines. You will be contacted by a representative from the Company’s relocation vendor after the closing of the spin to initiate the relocation process.

AGREEMENT TO TRANSFER 

As you are aware, Honeywell has announced its intention to spin-off it’s TS business in the summer of 2018. By accepting this position, you are acknowledging and consenting to the anticipated spin-off of the TS business by Honeywell.
