Exhibit 10.4


 


2016 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

OF HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC. AND ITS AFFILIATES


 


Growth
Plan Agreement


 


GROWTH PLAN AGREEMENT made
in Morris Plains, New Jersey, United States of America, as of the [DAY] of [MONTH, YEAR] (the “Award Date”) between
Honeywell International Inc. (which together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, when the context so indicates, is hereinafter
referred to as the “Company”) and [EMPLOYEE NAME] (the “Employee”).


 


		1.	Grant of Awards. The Company has granted to you [NUMBER] Growth Plan Units, subject to the
terms of this Agreement and the terms of the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and Its Affiliates (the
“Plan”).



 


		2.	Target and Actual Award. The number of Growth Plan Units awarded to you represents a target
award for the Performance Cycle (as defined below). Each Growth Plan Unit has a target value of $100 (“Target Value”).
Your actual award value (the “Actual Award”) is equal to the product of (i) the Target Value, (ii) the Plan Payout
Percentage, and (iii) the number of Growth Plan Units awarded to you under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the
“Plan Payout Percentage” shall be based on the achievement of the Performance Measures described in Section 3 below
and may range from zero to a maximum of 200%.



 


		3.	Performance Measures. The Plan Payout Percentage shall be determined based on [PERFORMANCE
MEASURES] (collectively the “Performance Measures”) for the Performance Cycle. Performance Measures shall be determined
at the Company level for eligible employees not assigned to one of the Company’s strategic business groups (“SBG”),
and at both the Company and SBG level for other eligible employees. For purposes of this determination, if you transfer from one
of the Company’s businesses during the Performance Cycle, your award will be prorated for the number of days actively employed
in that business.



 


[INCLUDE AS APPLICABLE:
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan),
no Growth Plan Unit awards will be paid unless the Company attains a minimum level of [PERFORMANCE MEASURE] during the Performance
Cycle. The minimum level of [PERFORMANCE MEASURE] shall be a [AMOUNT OR PERCENTAGE] over the Performance Cycle. In determining
[PERFORMANCE MEASURE] for this purpose, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors
(the “Committee”) shall [INCLUDE AS APPLICABLE: hold share count constant to [YEAR] for all periods and] exclude from
its calculations unusual, infrequently occurring, and extraordinary items [INCLUDE AS APPLICABLE: as well as pension expense or
pension income recorded] during the Performance Cycle.]


 


		4.	Performance Cycle. The two year performance cycle to which this Agreement applies commences
on [DATE] and ends on [DATE] (the “Performance Cycle”).



 


		5.	Timing of Payments. The payment of Growth Plan Unit awards is contingent upon (i) the achievement
of the performance criteria outlined in Section 3 above, and (ii) except as 







    	1



    	



    

	 	 	otherwise provided in this Agreement, you remaining
actively employed by the Company on the applicable payment dates. Thus, for example, if you are receiving pay from the Company
but not actively performing services therefore (including, but not limited to, severance periods, notice periods, and grandfathered
vacation periods), you will not be considered “active” for purposes of the payment of Growth Plan Unit awards. To the
extent a Growth Plan Unit award is earned, you will receive it in two installments (subject to the active employment criteria described
herein). One-half of your Actual Award will be paid in [MONTH, YEAR] and the second half of your Actual Award will be paid in [MONTH,
YEAR]; provided, however, that in no event will a payment be made later than two and one-half months from the end of the year in
which the payment vests.



 


		6.	Form of Payment. Growth Plan Units may be paid out in either cash or shares of the Company’s
common stock (“Shares”), at the discretion of the Committee. Your award will be expressed in U.S. dollars. Payment
shall be made in the same currency as your pay (“Local Currency”). In the event you receive pay in more than one Local
Currency, the currency used for payment will be at the discretion of the Company or your employer. The Company will normalize your
award value for any fluctuation in exchange rates between U.S. dollars and your Local Currency using the rate in effect for compensation
planning at the beginning of the Performance Cycle. If your Actual Award is paid in Shares, the number of Shares shall be determined
by dividing the Actual Award by the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Shares as of the date the Committee determines
the amount of your Actual Award. Fractional Shares will always be paid in cash. No payment amounts will be credited with interest,
and you may not defer the payment of any awards hereunder.



 


		7.	Termination of Employment. If your employment with the Company is terminated for any reason
other than death [or retirement as provided in Section 8] or you incur a Disability prior to the date a Growth Plan Unit payment
is to be made pursuant to Section 5 above, any unpaid amounts shall be forfeited and your rights with respect to any Growth Plan
Units will terminate unless the Committee, or its designee, determines otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion.



 


		8.	Death or Disability[ or Retirement]. If your employment with the Company terminates because
of death or you incur a Disability (as defined in the Plan) prior to the first installment payment of your Actual Award, you or
your estate will receive the prorated value of your Actual Award. The prorated value of the Actual Award shall be determined by
multiplying the Actual Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed by the Company
during the Performance Cycle prior to your death or Disability, and the denominator of which is the total number of days from your
first eligibility date during the Performance Cycle through the last day of the Performance Cycle. Such prorated Actual Award shall
be payable in a single lump sum at the time the first installment payment is paid to other Growth Plan grantees. If your death
or Disability occurs after the first installment payment of your Actual Award has been made but before the second installment payment
has been made, the Company shall pay the second installment payment in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the date of death
or Disability.



 


[INCLUDE AS APPLICABLE:
If you retire from the Company and its Affiliates after you attain age 62 with 25 Years of Service (as defined in the Plan) and
after the Performance Cycle ends, (i) but before the first installment of your Actual Award is paid, you will receive an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the first installment and (B) the prorated value of the





    	2



    	



    

second installment, or (ii) but before the second
installment of your Actual Award is paid, you will receive an amount equal to the prorated value of the second installment. For
purposes of this paragraph, the prorated value of the second installment shall be determined by multiplying the second installment
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days you were actively employed by the Company and its Affiliates from the
January 1st immediately following the end of the Performance Cycle to your separation from service date and the denominator
of which is 439. Subject to Section 19, this amount shall be paid to you as soon as practicable following your separation from
service with the Company and its Affiliates.


 


If you retire from
the Company and its Affiliates after you attain age 64 with 25 Years of Service (as defined in the Plan) and after the Performance
Cycle ends but before your full Actual Award is paid, you will receive an amount equal to the unpaid portion of your Actual Award,
which subject to Section 19, shall be paid to you as soon as practicable following your separation from service with the Company
and its Affiliates.]


 


		9.	Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 2 through 8 above to the contrary,
in the event of a Change in Control, the following provisions apply:



 


		a.	Rollover of Growth Plan Units. If your Growth Plan Units are adjusted or exchanged pursuant
to Section 5.3(c) – (e) of the Plan (concerning rollover of outstanding awards in certain circumstances), then (x) if you
incur an involuntary Termination of Employment not for Cause (as defined in Section 2.7 of the Plan) or a voluntarily Termination
of Employment for Good Reason (as defined in Section 5.4(d) of the Plan) during the two-year period following the Change in Control
and after the Performance Cycle has ended, the portion of your unpaid Actual Award will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined
by the Committee) no later than the earlier of 90 days after the Termination of Employment or two and one-half months after the
end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Employment occurs and (y) if you incur an involuntary Termination of Employment
not for Cause (as defined in Section 2.7 of the Plan) or a voluntarily Termination of Employment for Good Reason (as defined in
Section 5.4(d) of the Plan) during the two-year period following the Change in Control and before the Performance Cycle has ended,
an amount equal to the Target Value, pro rated to reflect the portion of the full Performance Cycle that elapsed prior to such
Termination of Employment will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee) no later than the earlier of 90 days
after the Termination of Employment or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar year in which the Termination of Employment
occurs.



 


		b.	Cashout of Awards. Unless adjusted or exchanged pursuant to Section 5.3(c) – (e) of
the Plan, an amount equal to the Actual Award, determined based on achievement of the Performance Measures through the date of
the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee prior to the Change in Control, pro rated to reflect the portion of the full
Performance Cycle that elapsed prior to the Change in Control will be paid (in cash or Shares, as determined by the Committee)
no later than the earlier of 90 days after your Termination of Employment or two and one-half months after the end of the calendar
year in which the Change in Control occurs.

		10.	Change in Status. If your role within the Company changes during the Performance Cycle such
that you would no longer be eligible to receive Growth Plan Units, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as if no
such change had occurred.



 


		11.	Requirements for and Forfeiture of Award.



 


		a.	General. The Award is expressly contingent upon you complying with the terms, conditions
and definitions contained in this Section 11 and in any other agreement that governs your noncompetition with Honeywell, your nonsolicitation
of Honeywell’s employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and vendors, and/or your conduct with respect to Honeywell’s
trade secrets and proprietary and confidential information. For purposes of this Section 11, the term “Honeywell” is
defined as Honeywell International Inc. (a Delaware corporation having a place of business at 115 Tabor Road, Morris Plains, New
Jersey), its predecessors, designees and successors, as well as its past, present and future operating companies, divisions, subsidiaries,
affiliates and other business units, including businesses acquired by purchase of assets, stock, merger or otherwise.



 


		b.	Remedies.



 


		1.	You expressly agree and acknowledge that the forfeiture provisions of subsection 11.b.2. of this
Agreement shall apply if, from the Award Date until the date that is twenty-four (24) months after your Termination of Employment
for any reason, you (i) enter into an employment, consultation or similar agreement or arrangement (including any arrangement for
service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) with any entity or person engaged in a business in
which Honeywell is engaged if the business is competitive (in the sole judgment of the Honeywell International Inc. Chief Executive
Officer (the “CEO”)) with Honeywell and the CEO has not approved the agreement or arrangement in writing, or (ii) make
any statement, publicly or privately (other than to your spouse and legal advisors), which would be disparaging (as defined below)
to Honeywell or its businesses, products, strategies, prospects, condition, or reputation or that of its directors, employees,
officers or members; provided, however, that nothing shall preclude you from making any statement in good faith which is required
by any applicable law or regulation or the order of a court or other governmental body, or (iii) write or contribute to a book,
article or other media publication, whether in written or electronic format, that is in any way descriptive of Honeywell or your
career with Honeywell without first submitting a draft thereof, at least thirty (30) days in advance, to the Honeywell International
Inc. Senior Vice President and General Counsel, whose judgment about whether such book, article or other media publication is disparaging
shall be determinative; or such a book, article or other media publication is published after a determination that it is disparaging;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall preclude you from reporting (in good faith) possible violations of federal law or
regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Congress, and/or any agency Inspector General, or making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower
provisions of federal or state law or regulation, or from otherwise making any statement (in good faith) 







    	4



    	



    

which is required by any
applicable law or regulation or the order of a court or other governmental body.


 


For purposes of
this subsection 11.b.1, the term “disparaging” shall mean any statement or representation (whether oral or written
and whether true or untrue) which, directly or by implication, tends to create a negative, adverse, or derogatory impression about
the subject of the statement or representation or which is intended to harm the reputation of the subject of the statement or representation.


 


		2.	In addition to the relief described in any other agreement that governs your noncompetition with
Honeywell, your nonsolicitation of Honeywell’s employees, customers, suppliers, business partners and vendors, and/or your
conduct with respect to Honeywell’s trade secrets and proprietary and confidential information, if the CEO determines, in
his sole judgment, that you have violated the terms of any such agreement or you have engaged in an act that violates subsection
11.b.1. of this Agreement, (i) any Growth Plan payment that has not yet been vested, earned or paid under this Agreement shall
immediately be cancelled, and you shall forfeit any rights you have with respect to such payment as of the date of the CEO’s
determination, and (ii) you shall immediately deliver to the Company cash equal in value to the gross Growth Plan payment you received
under this Agreement during the period beginning twelve (12) months prior to your Termination of Employment and ending on the date
of the CEO’s determination.



 


		3.	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, you acknowledge that the
Company may be entitled or required by law, Company policy or the requirements of an exchange on which the Shares are listed for
trading, to recoup compensation paid to you pursuant to the Plan, and you agree to comply with any Company request or demand for
recoupment.



 


		12.	Withholdings. The Company or your local employer shall have the power and the right to deduct
or withhold, or require you to remit to the Company or to your local employer, prior to any issuance or delivery of a Growth Plan
payment, an amount sufficient to satisfy taxes imposed under the laws of any country, state, province, city or other jurisdiction,
including but not limited to income taxes, capital gain taxes, transfer taxes, and social security contributions, and National
Insurance Contributions, that are required by law to be withheld as determined by the Company or your local employer.



 


		13.	Adjustments. Any adjustments to the Growth Plan Units will be governed by Section 5.3 of
the Plan.



 


		14.	Transfer of Awards. You may not transfer any interest in your Growth Plan Units or Actual
Award. Any attempt to dispose of your interest in your Growth Plan Units or Actual Award shall be null and void.



 


		15.	Plan Terms Govern. The vesting of and payment for Growth Plan Units, the disposition of
any Shares received for Growth Plan Units, and the treatment of gain on the disposition of any such Shares, are subject to the
provisions of the Plan and any rules that the 






    	5



    	



    



	 	 	Committee may prescribe. The Plan document, as may be amended from time to time,
is incorporated into this Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meaning set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise
stated in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and the terms of this Agreement, the Plan
will control. By accepting the Award, you acknowledge that the Plan and the Plan prospectus, as in effect on the date of this Agreement,
have been made available to you for your review.



 


		16.	Personal Data.



 


		a.	By entering into this Agreement, and as a condition of the grant of the Growth Plan Units, you
expressly consent to the collection, use, and transfer of personal data as described in this Section to the full extent permitted
by and in full compliance with applicable law.



 


		b.	You understand that your local employer holds, by means of an automated data file, certain personal
information about you, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance
number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all restricted units or other
entitlement to shares or cash awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested, or outstanding in your favor, for the purpose of
managing and administering the Plan (“Data”).



 


		c.	You further understand that part or all of your Data may be also held by the Company or its Affiliates,
pursuant to a transfer made in the past with your consent, in respect of any previous grant of restricted units or awards, which
was made for the same purposes of managing and administering of previous award/incentive plans, or for other purposes.



 


		d.	You further understand that your local employer will transfer Data to the Company or its Affiliates
among themselves as necessary for the purposes of implementation, administration, and management of your participation in the Plan,
and that the Company or its Affiliates may transfer data among themselves, and/or each, in turn, further transfer Data to any third
parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration, and management of the Plan (“Data Recipients”).



 


		e.	You understand that the Company or its Affiliates, as well as the Data Recipients, are or may be
located in your country of residence or elsewhere, such as the United States. You authorize the Company or its Affiliates, as well
as the Data Recipients, to receive, possess, use, retain, and transfer Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing,

		17.	Discretionary Nature and Acceptance of Award. By accepting this Award, you agree to be bound
by the terms of this Agreement and acknowledge that:



 


		a.	The Company (and not your local employer) is granting your Growth Plan Units. Furthermore, this
Agreement is not derived from any preexisting labor relationship between you and the Company, but rather from a mercantile relationship.



 


		b.	The Company may administer the Plan from outside your country of residence and United States law
will govern all Growth Plan Units granted under the Plan.



 


		c.	Benefits and rights provided under the Plan are wholly discretionary and, although provided by
the Company, do not constitute regular or periodic payments.



 


		d.	The benefits and rights provided under the Plan are not to be considered part of your salary or
compensation under your employment with your local employer for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy
or other end of service payments, vacation, bonuses, long-term service awards, indemnification, pension or retirement benefits,
or any other payments, benefits or rights of any kind. You waive any and all rights to compensation or damages as a result of the
termination of employment with your local employer for any reason whatsoever insofar as those rights result, or may result, from
the loss or diminution in value of such rights under the Plan or your ceasing to have any rights under, or ceasing to be entitled
to any rights under, the Plan as a result of such termination.



 


		e.	The grant of Growth Plan Units hereunder, and any future grant of Growth Plan Units under the Plan,
is entirely voluntary, and at the complete discretion of the Company. Neither the grant of the Growth Plan Units nor any future
grant by the Company will be deemed to create any obligation to make any future grants, whether or not such a reservation is explicitly
stated at the time of such a grant. The Company has the right, at any time and/or on an annual basis, to amend, suspend or terminate
the Plan; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 15, no such amendment, suspension, or termination will adversely
affect your rights hereunder.



 


		f.	The Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be construed by you to constitute, part
of the terms and conditions of employment. Neither the Company nor your local employer will incur any liability of any kind to
you as a result of any change or amendment, or any cancellation, of the Plan at any time.



 


		g.	Participation in the Plan will not be deemed to constitute, and will not be deemed by you to constitute,
an employment or labor relationship of any kind with the Company.



 


		18.	Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement or the Plan gives you any right to continue in the
employ of the Company or any of its Affiliates or to interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate
your employment at any time. Payment of your Growth Plan Units or Actual Award is not secured by a trust, insurance contract or
other funding medium, and you do not have any interest in any fund or specific asset of the 




    	7



    	



    

	 	 	Company by reason of this Agreement.
You have no rights as a shareowner of the Company unless and until Shares are actually delivered to you.



 


		19.	Agreement Changes. The Company reserves the right to change the terms of this Agreement
and the Plan without your consent to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with the requirements of Code section 409A, the
Treasury regulations and other guidance thereunder.



 


		20.	Incorporation of Other Agreements. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding
between you and the Company regarding the Growth Plan Units. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations
concerning the Growth Plan Units.



 


		21.	Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will
not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of the Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect.
Moreover, if any provision is found to be excessively broad in duration, scope or covered activity, the provision will be construed
so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law.



 


		22.	Governing Law. The Plan, this Agreement, and all determinations made and actions taken under
the Plan or this Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of
Delaware and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law.



 


		23.	Acknowledgements and Acceptance. By accepting this Agreement, you agree that: (i) you have
carefully read, fully understand and agree to all of the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, the Plan, the Plan’s
prospectus and all accompanying documentation; and (ii) you understand and agree that this Agreement and the Plan constitute the
entire understanding between you and the Company regarding the Growth Plan Units, and that any prior agreements, commitments, or
negotiations concerning the Growth Plan Units are replaced and superseded.
