         1                     The EveryWare Short-Term Incentive Plan         This annual cash incentive bonus plan contains the terms and conditions of the   EveryWare Global, Inc. Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP or the  “Plan”) as established   by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the   “Committee”).  This document also contains highly confidential information about the   financial projections and operations of Company.  This Plan and document is   confidential and may not be shared with anyone outside of Company. Each Participant is   required to keep this Plan and its contents confidential at all times.         I. Purpose of the Plan      The annual STIP is a key component to Company’s pay for performance   philosophy.  The purpose of the STIP is to motivate and reward senior leaders   and managers for driving key business strategies which meet or exceed our   annual financial goals.       II. Effective Date      The Plan Year is based on calendar year and ends on December 31st of each   applicable calendar year (the “Plan Year”).        III. Eligibility      Participant eligibility under the Plan is limited to eligible positions (“Participants”)   within the Company.  Participants in this Plan must also meet all of the following   criteria:       Following the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, the   Committee, in its discretion, shall designate those key employees of the   Company (including its subsidiaries, operating units and divisions) who   shall be Participants in the Plan; and       A Participant must be actively employed by the Company on the date (the   “Bonus Payment Date”) that bonuses are actually paid for the applicable   Plan Year (except for employees actively employed during the Plan Year   who have separated from service before the Bonus Payment Date due to   Normal Retirement, Death, Permanent Disability or a Qualified Leave of   Absence).       A Participant must be hired on or before September 30 of the Plan Year;   and        

 

         2       Bonus payments will be prorated for Participants who are hired or   promoted into eligible positions, and/or who experience a change in   their incentive target percent during the Plan Year. (See Section VIII-   Proration of Bonus Payments for details).        A  Participant must be in good standing and not on any disciplinary status   or a participant in an active Company Performance Improvement Plan (a   “PIP”) to receive an award under this Plan.        IV. Individual Target Award      Each Participant will have an Individual Target Award, expressed as a   percentage of the Participant’s base salary, based upon their position and scope   of responsibilities within the Company.  For the Plan Year, the Committee may, in   its discretion, establish a range of performance goals which correspond to, and   will entitle Participants to receive, various levels of awards based on percentage   multiples of the Individual Target Award.  Each performance goal range shall   include a level of performance designated as the “100% Award Level” at which   the Individual Target Award shall be earned.  In addition, each range shall   include levels of performance above and below the 100% performance level,   ranging from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 150% of the Individual Target   Award.        Changes in the Participant’s base salary during the Plan Year will result in a   prorated award calculation (See Section VIII- Proration of Bonus Payments for   details).       V. Plan Performance Measures      The final Award will be based on the following performance measurements for   the Plan (“Plan Performance Measurements”), weighted as provided in the table   below:      Performance Measurement Weight   EBITDA 20%   Free Cash Flow 20%   Net Sales Growth 20%   Earnings Per Share 20%   Individual Performance Goals 20%      The performance goals for each of the Plan Performance Measurements shall be   adopted by the Committee no later than 90 days following the beginning of a   Plan Year, while the outcome of the performance goals is substantially uncertain.      Calculation of the actual award payable to a Participant is a straight line   calculation based upon actual results.  Achievement of the Targets established     

 

         3      for each measurement are paid out at 100% of a target bonus amount.    Maximum Thresholds established for each measurement are paid out at 150% of   a target bonus amount, while Minimum Thresholds are paid out at of 50%.  No   Award is earned if the Company’s actual performance with respect to the   measurement falls below the Minimum Threshold.  The percentage Award   payout will be determined by linear interpolation between the Target and the   Maximum Threshold or the Target and the Minimum Threshold, as applicable.      A description of the Plan Performance Measurements is included as Attachment   A at the end of this Plan document.  Actual results and ultimate awards will be   based on the audited financial statements for the fiscal year corresponding to the   Plan Year as confirmed by the Committee.        VI. Bonus Payment Calculation      Following completion of the Plan Year and after the Company completes its fiscal   year financial audit, the final results of the Plan Performance Measurements will   be submitted to the Committee for validation and approval. Each Participant’s   final award “Award” will be calculated against his/her Individual Target Award.       VII. Awards      Awards, if any, are payable following the completion of the Plan Year and the   fiscal year financial audit.  Awards will be paid as soon as practical following the   completion of the fiscal year financial audit, but no later than March 15st following   the Plan Year.      VIII. Proration of Awards      The circumstances that may warrant a prorated Award include, but are not   limited to:    Changes in base salary;    Changes in Individual Target Award opportunity (due to a promotion,   demotion or participation in a PIP);    Date of Plan eligibility;    Normal Retirement; and    Qualified Leave of Absence, Permanent Disability or Death of the   Participant.      The following rules apply to determining when an Award may be prorated:       A Participant who commences employment after the beginning of the   Plan Year is eligible for a prorated award under this Plan if he/she has an   effective hire date on or before September 30 of the Plan Year.         Participants eligible for a prorated Award based on their hire date will   receive an Award calculated as if his/her hire date was the 1st day of the   month unless their hire date is on or after the 15th of the month, in which   case the award will be calculated as of the effective hire date was on the   1st day of the following month.       

 

         4          In the event a Participant’s takes a Qualified Leave of Absence (as   determined and defined by the Committee) or the Participant’s   employment is terminated by reason of Death, Disability, or Normal   Retirement (each as determined and defined by the Committee), the   Award determined shall be reduced to reflect the Participant’s days of   active employment during the Plan year. The reduced Award shall be   calculated by multiplying the Award by a fraction, the numerator of which   is the number of days of active employment in the Plan year, and the   denominator of which is the total number of days in the Plan Year.        A prorated Award payable under this Plan for a Participant who is   promoted or receives a salary change after the 15th of the month will be   calculated at the lower rate of pay for the month in which the promotion or   salary change occurs, with the new rate of award calculation taking effect   on the first of the following month.         An employee who becomes eligible to be a Participant under the Plan   because he/she is promoted into an eligible position after the beginning of   the Plan Year is eligible for a prorated portion of any award deemed   earned and payable under this Plan beginning in the promotion month if   the promotion occurs on or before the 15th of the month, or on the 1st day   of the following month if the promotion occurs after the 15th of the month.        A Participant who is demoted into a non-eligible position after the   beginning of the Plan Year is eligible to receive a prorated award for the   period, in which he/she held an eligible position during the Plan Year,   provided all other eligibility criteria are met.       A Participant placed on a PIP is not eligible for an Award in the calendar   year in which a PIP is in place anytime during the Plan Year.      IX. Termination of Employment      A Participant whose employment with the Company terminates before the Bonus   Payment Date for any reason other Normal Retirement, Qualified Leave of   Absence, Permanent Disability or Death (in each case, as determined by the   Committee) is not eligible for an Award unless otherwise approved in writing by   the Committee, upon a recommendation of the CEO.        X. Additional Important Plan Information      Awards under the Plan are discretionary and may be increased, reduced, or   cancelled, at the sole discretion of the Committee.       Neither the establishment of this Plan nor participation in this Plan shall in any   way affect or alter the employment relationship between the Company and   Participants in this Plan.  The Company retains all rights with respect to   management of its employment relationship with all Participants, and nothing in   this Plan alters that exclusive right of the Company.  Nothing in this Plan shall be     

 

         5      construed to create or imply the guarantee of, or the creation of a contract of,   employment between the Company and any Participant, or a right to continued   employment for any period of time.  To ensure that this Plan best supports the   Company’s overall business objectives and strategies, this Plan may be reviewed   periodically and may be modified, amended, or terminated at the Committee’s   sole discretion.       Receipt of an Award under this Plan is not guaranteed.  The Company reserves   the exclusive right, in its sole discretion, to terminate a Participant’s participation   in the Plan at any time.      Loans, advances, or draws against potential Awards are prohibited in all   respects.      This Plan supersedes all prior understandings, negotiations and agreements,   whether written or oral, between each individual Participant and the Company as   to the subject matter covered by this Plan.  This Plan describes the sole and   exclusive Individual Target Awards the Company is offering to Participants during   the Plan Year.  However, nothing in this Plan prevents the Company from paying   an employee an incentive award or other payment not described under this Plan,   at any time or from time to time.  The Company has no obligation to pay any   employee an incentive award or other payment not described under this Plan.      All Awards under this Plan are subject to applicable withholdings and deductions   as required by law in accordance with the Company’s standard accounting and   payroll practices.            

 

         6      Attachment A         Measurement 1:  EBITDA       For the purposes of this STIP, EBITDA means earnings Before Interest, Taxes,   Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) as reported in the Company’s public filings.   The Committee shall reasonably adjust reported EBITDA to exclude the impact of   dispositions and acquisitions during the Plan year.  EBITDA levels are to be calculated   after fully funding the payout under the STIP and any other bonus program of the   Company.      Measurement 2:  Free Cash Flow      For the purposes of this STIP, Free Cash Flow means the Company’s cash generated   from operations less capital expenditures. The Committee shall reasonably adjust actual   Free Cash Flow to exclude the impact of dispositions and acquisitions during the Plan   year. In order for a payout to occur under the Free Cash Flow category, the minimum   EBITDA performance threshold does not need to be achieved.  The Free Cash Flow   levels are to be calculated after full funding the payout under the STIP and any other   bonus program of the Company.       Measurement 3:  Net Sales Growth      Net Sales Growth is based on prior year audited Net Sales.  For the purposes of this   STIP, any impact related to acquisitions and dispositions will be excluded from the   calculation of Net Sales Growth.  For calendar year 2014, the Net Sales Growth factor   will be adjusted to account for the sales impact of the decision to defer rebuilding the   Tank 2 furnace in Lancaster, Ohio.   Measurement 4: Earning Per Share      For the purposes of this STIP, Earnings Per Share (EPS) as used in the Plan   Performance Measurement is based on 2014 Earnings Per Share.  The EPS levels are   to be calculated after full funding the payout under the STIP and any other bonus   program of the Company.       Measurement 5: Performance Goals       Attainment of Performance Goals will be discretionary, identified by leadership and   applicable supervisors based on personal performance, goals and objectives.  To the   greatest extent possible, Performance Goals will be communicated to Participants in the   first calendar quarter of the Plan Year.        In order for a payout to occur under the discretionary Performance Goals category plan,   the minimum Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Net Sales Increase performance   threshold do not need to be achieved.ETN 12.31.2013 EX 10(ss)

EATON SAVINGS PLAN
2014 Restatement

ARTICLE1. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN
Section 1.1 Establishment of Plan and Effective Date ‐‐ Eaton Corporation established the Eaton Corporation Share Purchase and Investment Plan (the "Plan") effective as of July 1, 1974 as to Eaton, and which became or will become effective as to any Company as of the date that the Plan has been or may be extended to it.  The Plan was amended and restated effective July 1, 1982, July 1, 1984, July 1, 1985, January 1, 1986 and July 1, 1988.  The Plan was amended and restated twice more with both such amendments effective July 5, 1989; the first such amendment and restatement was executed on July 7, 1989 and the second such amendment and restatement was executed on July 20, 1989.  The Plan also was amended and restated as of September 1, 1989 (effective retroactively to December 30, 1988), January 1, 1991, August 1, 1992 and July 1, 1993 (effective September 1, 1993).  The Plan was amended (effective May 1, 1997) to change the definition of "Compensation" and (effective April 1, 1997) to eliminate the requirements that Plan loans be in multiples of $100 and that spousal consent be obtained in all cases and to change the rollover rules.  The Plan was amended to exclude from the calculation of earnings per share used to determine Company Matching Contributions any charges to earnings for the write‐off of in‐process research and development associated with acquisitions (effective beginning with the calendar quarter ended September 30, 1997), to provide that the authority of the Company or the Board to approve or adopt any amendment to the Plan may be delegated to the Committee, except with respect to any termination of the Plan or any 

1

amendment which would result in a clear, direct and significant increase in benefits available under the Plan to officers of the Company (effective October 22, 1997) and (effective January 1, 1998) to change the definition of highly compensated employees and eliminate the requirements that Rollover Contributions must be requested within six (6) months of employment commencement and made within one (1) year of employment commencement.  The Plan was restated effective May 1, 1998, primarily to increase the Member contribution rate, permit reallocations once each day, expand amounts available for loans and change loan repayment procedures, extend the six (6) month suspension to include bonus Matching Contributions and eliminate the six (6) month suspension of further withdrawals, change the hierarchy for withdrawals, add an automatic cash out provision, eliminate restrictions on Rollover Contributions and change distribution dates in certain circumstances.  On November 17, 2000, the Plan was amended in connection with a corporate transaction involving Axcelis Technologies, Inc.  Effective as of December 30, 2001, the Plan was amended to change the plan year to the calendar year.  The Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2002, to change the name of the Plan to the "Eaton Savings Plan," to increase the permitted level of Deferred Compensation Contributions, to change the Company Matching Contribution structure to an "ADP/ACP safe harbor" design, to eliminate bonus Matching Contributions and Company Supplemental Contributions, to eliminate the requirement that certain contributions be made from profits of the Company, to provide for additional investment options, to provide for distribution of dividends on Eaton Shares in certain circumstances, to allow Members additional diversification elections with respect to the 

2

Eaton Shares Fund, to make various changes to the Plan in connection with changes to the Internal Revenue Code, and to make various other administrative and conforming changes.  The Plan was further amended effective January 1, 2003, to modify the rollover provisions and to eliminate the stipulation that Regular Contributions may be changed not less frequently than monthly, and further effective May 1, 2003,  to permit Catch-Up Contributions and to add an Addendum reflecting minimum distribution requirements.  Effective March 28, 2005, the Plan was amended to reflect automatic rollover requirements for certain mandatory distributions.  Further amendments were made effective January 1, 2006, to clarify the definition of Compensation and add an Addendum to comply with final regulations issued under Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m).  A further amendment provided, effective October 1, 2007, a procedure for dealing with miscellaneous investment proceeds.  Provisions were added in 2008 detailing a transfer of assets and liabilities involving the Stanley Aviation Corporation 401(k) Plan and Trust, modifying withdrawal provisions to remove the suspension requirements relating to the withdrawal of certain matched Regular Contributions, and reflecting final regulations under Code Section 415.  Effective April 1, 2009, Company Matching Contributions were suspended and modifications were made to reflect the ADP and ACP testing methods for the 2009 Plan Year.

The Plan was amended and restated effective generally as of January 1, 2013, to consolidate prior amendments, to provide that certain Members shall be eligible for nonelective Eaton Retirement Contributions, subject to a vesting schedule, and for other purposes.  Finally, the Plan is amended and restated effective January 1, 2014, except as otherwise provided herein, to reflect the merger of the Cooper Retirement Savings and Stock Ownership Plan into the Plan and associated changes relating to integration of benefits and to reflect other administrative and confirming changes.

ARTICLE V. CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 Member Regular Contributions; Deferred Compensation Contributions; and "Catch-Up Contributions"
(a)    Regular Contributions.  Subject to the limitation under Section 5.2 hereof, by notice to the Company a Member may make Regular Contributions equal to a whole percentage between 1% and 50%, inclusive, of his Compensation for each pay period after his participation commences.  Regular Contributions shall be contributions to the portion of the Plan that is not the ESOP feature.  All such contributions shall be made by regular payroll deductions authorized by the Member.  A Member may change his Regular Contributions by submitting a new authorization, at such time(s), in such form, and in such manner as the Company shall prescribe, to the Company or its designees.  Such revised authorization shall be effective as soon as practicable, as determined by the Company, after such revised authorization has been properly submitted.  A simultaneous revision of a Member's Regular Contribution authorization and his Deferred Compensation Agreement (if any) pursuant to Section 5.1(b) shall constitute a single revision.  As soon after the date a Member's Regular Contributions can reasonably be segregated from employer general assets (and in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which the amounts are received by the employer) such Regular Contributions shall be forwarded to the Trustee, 

20

invested in the manner specified by the Member and allocated and credited to such Member's Regular Account.
(b)    Deferred Compensation Contributions.  Subject to the limitation under Section 5.2 hereof, pursuant to a Deferred Compensation Agreement a Member may agree to have the Company make Deferred Compensation Contributions on his behalf, equal to a whole percentage between 1% and 50%, inclusive, of the Member's Compensation for each pay period after his participation commences.  Deferred Compensation Contributions shall be contributions to the portion of the Plan that is not the ESOP Feature.  A Member may change the amount of Deferred Compensation Contributions made on his behalf by submitting a new authorization, at such time(s), in such form, and in such manner as the Company shall prescribe, to the Company or its designees.  Such revised authorization shall be effective as soon as practicable, as determined by the Company, after such revised authorization has been properly submitted.  A simultaneous revision of a Member's Deferred Compensation Agreement and his Regular Contribution authorization, if any, pursuant to Section 5.1(a) shall constitute a single revision.  As soon after the date an amount would otherwise be paid to an Employee as it can reasonably be segregated from employer general assets (and in no event later than the 15th business day of the month following the month in which the amounts would otherwise have been payable to the Member in cash), a Member's Deferred Compensation Contributions shall be forwarded to the Trustee, invested in the manner specified by the Member and allocated and credited to such Member's Deferred Compensation Account.  In no event shall the Company deliver Deferred Compensation 

21

Contributions to the Trustee on behalf of a Member prior to the date the Employee performs the services with respect to which the Deferred Compensation Contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate bona fide administrative considerations and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions.
(c)    Suspension of Contributions.  At any time, a Member may suspend all of his contributions to the Plan, including his Regular Contributions (if any) and his Deferred Compensation Contributions (if any), by submitting a notice of suspension in such form and in such manner as the Company shall prescribe to the Company or its designees.  Such notice of suspension shall be effective as soon as practicable, as determined by the Company, after such notice of suspension has been properly submitted.  A Member who has so suspended his Contributions may elect to have such Contributions resumed with or without change by submitting a new authorization in such form and in such manner as the Company shall prescribe to the Company or its designees.  Such new authorization shall be effective as soon as practicable, as determined by the Company, after such new authorization has been properly submitted.  A Member who is on an approved leave of absence shall not be deemed to have caused his Deferred Compensation Contributions to have been suspended.
(d)    Employees who are eligible to make Deferred Compensation Contributions under the Plan and who have attained age 50 before the close of the Plan Year shall be eligible to make "catch-up contributions" in a whole percentage amount between 1% and 30%, inclusive, of the Member's Compensation for each pay period after his participation commences in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, 

22

Code Section 414(v).  Such "catch-up contributions" shall not be taken into account for purposes of the provisions of the Plan implementing the required limitations of Code Sections 402(g) and 415 or the limitations of Section 5.1(b).  The Plan shall not be treated as failing to satisfy the provisions of the Plan implementing the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(3), 401(k)(11), 401(k)(12), 410(b), or 416, as applicable, by reason of such "catch-up contributions."
Section 5.2 Limitation on Regular and Deferred Compensation Contributions ‐‐ The sum of a Member's Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions made on his behalf pursuant to Section 5.1 shall not be less than 1% or more than 50% of his Compensation.  For purposes of applying the percentage limitations of this Section 5.2, or any other contribution limitations deemed necessary in the administration of the Plan, the Committee may require that limitations be applied, but in any such case will require that such limitations be imposed on a uniform basis, including without limitation, by pay period (subject in each case to the provisions of Section 5.9).

With respect to each such Member, Company Matching Contributions shall first match Matched Deferred Compensation Contributions (to the extent thereof) for such payroll period and then, to the extent any additional Company Matching Contribution is required for such payroll period, Company Matching Contributions shall match Matched Regular Contributions for such payroll period.  Company Matching Contributions described in this Section 5.3(b) on behalf of a Member shall consist of:  (1) the Eaton Shares allocated and credited to such Member's Account under Section 15.3(g) with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods valued at fair market value at the time credited to the Company Contribution Account of such Member; and (2) the balance thereof (if any), which shall be contributed to the Plan by the Company.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Company Contributions under Section 5.3(b) shall be transferred to the Trustee no later than the last day of the Plan Year quarter that immediately follows the Plan Year quarter with respect to which such contributions were made.  In no event shall the Company deliver Company Matching Contributions to the Trustee on behalf of a Member prior to the date the Employee performs the services with respect to which the matching contribution is being made, unless such pre-funding is to accommodate bona fide administrative considerations and is not for the principal purpose of accelerating deductions.

(2)    "Cooper" shall mean Cooper US, Inc. and each entity which was a member of the Controlled Group of which Cooper US, Inc. was a member on November 29, 2012, including any entity into which such an entity may be merged or consolidated after November 30, 2012 and including Eaton (US) LLC.
Section 5.6 Allocation, Payment and Vesting of Eaton Retirement Contributions
(a)    Eaton Retirement Contributions made pursuant to Section 5.5 shall be allocated for each pay period and credited to the Eaton Retirement Contributions Account of each ERC Eligible Member when deposited in the Trust Fund for investment in accordance with Section 6.3.  
(b)    Eaton Retirement Contributions shall be made in cash.  All such Eaton Retirement Contributions with respect to a Plan Year shall be made no later than the due date (including extensions) for filing the income tax return of the Company for the taxable year coinciding with such Plan Year.

27

(c)    A Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be zero percent vested until the Member has completed three years of Vesting Service at which time his vested interest in his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be 100 percent.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if a Member is employed by the Company or a member of its Controlled Group on the date he attains age 65, on the date he terminates from employment by reason of becoming Disabled, or on the date he dies, his vested interest in his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be 100 percent.
Section 5.7 Maximum Additions
(a)    Provisions Required by Code Section 415(c).
(1)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the maximum Annual Addition to a Member's Accounts (and to any account for him under any other defined contribution plan, whether or not terminated, maintained by any Controlled Group Member) for any Limitation Year (as such term is hereinafter defined) shall in no event exceed the lesser of (A) $40,000 (as this limit may be adjusted pursuant to Code Section 415(d)) or (B) 100% of the Member's Compensation for the Limitation Year.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no more than one third of the Company ESOP Contributions to the Plan made for a Limitation Year are allocated to the Accounts of Members who are Highly Compensated Employees, the dollar limitation in clause (A) of this paragraph (1) for such Limitation Year will be the sum of (i) such dollar limitation and (ii) the 

28

lesser of an amount equal to such dollar limitation or the fair market value of Eaton Shares allocated to the Account of the Member under Section 15.3.
(2)    For purposes of this Section 5.7, a Member's Compensation shall mean compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, effective for Plan Years beginning on and after July 1, 2007, for purposes of this Section 5.7, if a Member has a severance from employment (as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-1(d)(2)) with the Company and all Controlled Group Members, Compensation shall not include amounts received by the Member following such severance from employment except amounts that would otherwise have been paid to the Member in the course of his employment and are regular compensation for services during the Member's regular working hours, compensation for services outside the Member's regular working hours (such as overtime or shift differential pay), commissions, bonuses, or other similar compensation, but only to the extent such amounts (1) would have been includable in Compensation if his employment had continued and (2) are paid before the later of (a) the close of the Limitation Year in which the Member's severance from employment occurs or (b) within 2 1⁄2 months of such severance from employment.  Compensation shall also include amounts that are payments for accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if (1) the Member would have been able to use such leave if his employment had continued, (2) such amounts would have been includable in Compensation if his employment 

29

had continued, and (3) such amounts are paid before the later of (a) the close of the "limitation year" in which the Member's severance from employment occurs or (b) within 2 1⁄2 months of such severance from employment.  If a Member is absent from employment as an Employee to perform service in the uniformed services (as defined in Chapter 43 of Title 38 of the United States Code), his Compensation will include any differential pay, as defined in Section 1.1(x), he receives or is entitled to receive from the Company.
(3)    For the purposes of this Section 5.7, the term "Annual Addition" means Annual Addition as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and the regulations thereunder, for any Limitation Year (which shall be the calendar year).
(4)    If a Member is covered by any other qualified defined contribution plan (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Company or a Controlled Group Member concurrently with the Plan, and if the Annual Addition to be made under the Plan for the Limitation Year when combined with the annual addition to be made under such other qualified defined contribution plan(s) would otherwise exceed the amount that may be applied for the Member's benefit under the limitation contained in this Section 5.7, the annual addition to be made to such other plan(s) shall be reduced, to the extent necessary so that the limitation in this Section 5.7 is satisfied.
(5)    If the Annual Addition to the Account of a Member in any Limitation Year beginning on or after July 1, 2007, nevertheless exceeds the amount that may be applied for his benefit under the limitations described in Section 5.7(a)(1), 

30

correction shall be made in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, as set forth in Revenue Procedure 2006-27, or any superseding guidance.
(b)    Other Code Section 415 Provisions.
For purposes of applying the limitations set forth in Section 5.7(a), all qualified defined contribution plans (whether or not terminated) ever maintained by the Controlled Group shall be treated as one defined contribution plan.
Section 5.8 Excess Deferrals
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, a Member's Deferred Compensation Contributions for any taxable year of such Member shall not exceed the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) as in effect for such taxable year.  A Member's Deferred Compensation Contributions for purposes of this Section 5.8(a) shall include (1) any employer contribution made under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as defined in Code Section 401(k) to the extent not includable in gross income for the taxable year under Code Section 402(a)(8) (determined without regard to Code Section 402(g)) under any plan maintained by the Controlled Group, (2) any employer contribution to the extent not includable in gross income for the taxable year under Code Section 402(h)(1)(B) (determined without regard to Code Section 402(g)) under any plan maintained by the Controlled Group, and (3) any employer contribution to purchase an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) under a salary reduction agreement within the meaning of Code Section 3121(a)(5)(D) under any plan maintained by the Controlled Group.

31

(b)    In the event that a Member's Deferred Compensation Contributions exceed the dollar limitation contained in Code Section 402(g) as in effect for a Member's taxable year (hereinafter called the "excess deferrals"), such excess deferrals (and any income allocable thereto) shall be distributed to the Member by April 1 following the close of the taxable year in which such excess deferrals occurred if (and only if), by March 1 following the close of such taxable year the Member (1) allocates the amount of such excess deferrals among the plans under which the excess deferrals were made and (2) notifies the Committee of the portion allocated to this Plan.  A Member's Deferred Compensation Contributions for purposes of this Section 5.8(b) shall include (1) any employer contribution made under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement as defined in Code Section 401(k) to the extent not includable in gross income for the taxable year under Code Section 402(a)(8) (determined without regard to Code Section 402(g)), (2) any employer contribution to the extent not includable in gross income for the taxable year under Code Section 402(h)(1)(B) (determined without regard to Code Section 402(g)), and (3) any employer contribution to purchase an annuity contract under Code Section 403(b) under a salary reduction agreement within the meaning of Code Section 3121(a)(5)(D).  In the event that a Member allocates a portion of his excess deferrals to his Deferred Compensation Contributions made to this Plan, Company Contributions, if any, made with respect to such Deferred Compensation Contributions (and any income applicable thereto) shall be applied to reduce future Company Contributions.

32

Section 5.9 Excess Deferred Compensation Contributions
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V,
(1)    the actual deferral percentage (as defined in Section 5.9(b)) for the group of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year shall not exceed the actual deferral percentage for all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by 1.25, or
(2)    the excess of the actual deferral percentage for the group of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year over the actual deferral percentage for all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed two (2) percentage points, and the actual deferral percentage for the group of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year shall not exceed the actual deferral percentage for all other eligible Employees for such Plan Year multiplied by two (2).
In determining the actual deferral percentage for any eligible Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, elective contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, and qualified matching contributions (to the extent that qualified nonelective contributions and qualified matching contributions are taken into account in determining actual deferral percentages) made to his accounts under any plan of the Company or a Controlled Group Member that is not mandatorily disaggregated pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.410(b)-7(c), as modified by §1.401(k)-1(b)(4) (without regard to the prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in §1.401(k)-1(b)(4)((iii)(B) and the prohibition on 

33

aggregating plans with different plan years contained in §1.410(b)-7(d)(5)), shall be treated as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different than the Plan Year, any such contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee's accounts under the other plan during the Plan Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan.
If one or more plans of the Company or a Controlled Group Member are aggregated with the Plan for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then actual deferral percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and such one or more other plans were a single plan. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.401(k)-1(b)(4)(v), the Company may elect to calculate deferral percentages aggregating ESOP and non-ESOP plans. In addition, the Company may elect to calculate deferral percentages aggregating bargained and non-bargained plans and/or bargained plans maintained for different bargaining units, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from year to year. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and utilize the same testing method to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(k).
(b)    For the purposes of this Section 5.9, the actual deferral percentage for a specified group of eligible Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each eligible Employee in such group) of (1) the amount of Deferred Compensation Contributions actually paid to the Trust for each such eligible Employee for such Plan Year and allocated to his Accounts no later than the last day of 

34

such Plan Year (including any "excess deferrals" described in Section 5.8) to (2) the eligible Employee's compensation for such Plan Year (such ratio for an eligible Employee being referred to as an "ADR").  For purposes of this Section 5.9(b), the term "compensation" shall mean compensation as that term is defined in Code Section 414(s).
(c)    For the purposes of this Article V, the term "eligible" Employee or "eligible" Highly Compensated Employee means an Employee eligible to become a Member under the provisions of Article III; and the term Highly Compensated Employee shall include any former Employee who had a separation year (as hereinafter defined) prior to the Plan Year within which any determination under this Article V is being made (a "determination year") and who was a Highly Compensated Employee for either (1) such Employee's separation year or (2) any determination year ending on or after the Employee's 55th birthday.  The term "separation year" shall mean the determination year during which an Employee separates from service with a Company as determined in accordance with the regulations issued under Code Section 414(q).
(d)    In the event that excess contributions (as such term is hereinafter defined) are made to the Trust for any Plan Year, then, within 2‐1/2 months following the close of such Plan Year, (1) such excess contributions (and any earnings and Employer Contributions allocable with respect to the excess contributions for such Plan Year) shall be distributed to the eligible Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the respective portions of the excess contributions attributable to each such Employee, or (2) such excess contributions, if elected by an eligible Highly Compensated Employee 

35

and if and to the extent provided in applicable regulations, shall be treated as Regular Contributions.  For the purposes of this Section 5.9(d), the term "excess contributions" shall mean, for any Plan Year, the excess of (A) the aggregate amount of Deferred Compensation Contributions actually paid to the Trust on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year (determined after first determining the excess contributions which are to be treated as Regular Contributions) over (B) the maximum amount of such Deferred Compensation Contributions permitted for such Plan Year under Section 5.8(b), determined under the leveling method by reducing Deferred Compensation Contributions made on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees in order of the ADRs (as defined in Section 5.9(b)) beginning with the highest of such percentages.  The total excess contributions shall then be allocated among Highly Compensated Employees by reducing Deferred Compensation Contributions made on behalf of each Highly Compensated Employee on the basis of the amount of Deferred Compensation Contributions made on behalf of each Highly Compensated Employee, beginning with the highest such amount.
(e)    Company Contributions made with respect to a Member's excess contributions (and any income applicable thereto) shall be applied to reduce future Company Contributions.
(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9, if Compensation satisfies a definition of compensation as required by the safe harbor alternative method of satisfying the actual deferral percentage test ("ADP test") as provided in Code Section 401(k)(12) (the "ADP Safe‐Harbor") for a Plan Year and the 

36

other requirements for the ADP Safe‐Harbor as set forth in the Plan are met, then the Plan complies with the ADP Safe‐Harbor and the requirements of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.9 shall be treated as being met with respect to Deferred Compensation Contributions for that Plan Year.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company Matching Contributions described in Section 5.3(b) (including the allocations under Section 15.3(g)) shall be the amounts required by Code Section 401(k)(12)(B) for purposes of the ADP Safe‐Harbor.
Section 5.10 Excess Company and Regular Contributions
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, the contribution percentage (as defined in Section 5.10(b)) for the group of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year shall not exceed the greater of (1) one hundred twenty‐five percent (125%) of the contribution percentage for all other eligible Employees or (2) the lesser of two hundred percent (200%) of the contribution percentage for all other eligible Employees or the contribution percentage for all other eligible Employees plus two (2) percentage points. 
In determining the contribution percentage for any eligible Employee who is a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year, matching contributions, employee contributions, qualified nonelective contributions, and elective contributions (to the extent that qualified nonelective contributions and elective contributions are taken into account in determining contribution percentages) made to his accounts under any plan of the Company or a Controlled Group Member that is not mandatorily disaggregated pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.410(b)-7(c), as modified by §1.401(m)-1(b)(4) 

37

(without regard to the prohibition on aggregating plans with inconsistent testing methods contained in §1.401(m)-1(b)(4)((iii)(B) and the prohibition on aggregating plans with different plan years contained in §1.410(b)-7(d)(5)), shall be treated as if all such contributions were made to the Plan; provided, however, that if such a plan has a plan year different than the Plan Year, any such contributions made to the Highly Compensated Employee's accounts under the other plan during the Plan Year shall be treated as if such contributions were made to the Plan.
If one or more plans of the Company or a Controlled Group Member are aggregated with the Plan for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b), then contribution percentages under the Plan shall be calculated as if the Plan and such one or more other plans were a single plan. Pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.401(m)-1(b)(4)(v), the Company may elect to calculate contribution percentages aggregating ESOP and non-ESOP plans. In addition, the Company may elect to calculate contribution percentages aggregating bargained and non-bargained plans and/or bargained plans maintained for different bargaining units, provided that such aggregation is done on a reasonable basis and is reasonably consistent from year to year. Plans may be aggregated under this paragraph only if they have the same plan year and utilize the same testing method to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(m).
(b)    For the purposes of this Section 5.10, the "contribution percentage" for a specified group of eligible Employees for a Plan Year shall be the average of the ratios (calculated separately for each eligible Employee in such group) of (1) the sum of 

38

the Company Contributions and Regular Contributions paid under the Plan by or on behalf of each such eligible Employee for such Plan Year to (2) the eligible Employee's compensation (as defined in Section 5.9(b)) for such Plan Year (such ratio for an eligible Employee being referred to as an "ACR").  Company Contributions in excess of 100% of the Deferred Compensation Contributions of a Member who is not a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year shall not be used in computing such eligible Employee's contribution percentage for the Plan Year to the extent that such Company Contributions exceed the greater of (i) 5% of the eligible Employee's compensation for the Plan Year or (ii) the product of two (2) times the Plan's "representative match rate" multiplied by the eligible Employee's Deferred Compensation Contributions for the Plan Year. The Plan's "representative match rate" is the lowest "match rate" of any eligible Employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year in either (i) the group consisting of half of all eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year or (ii) the group of all eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year and who are employed by the Company or a Controlled Group Member on the last day of the Plan Year and who make Deferred Compensation Contributions for the Plan Year, whichever results in the greater amount.  An eligible Employee's "match rate" means the Company Contributions made on behalf of the eligible Employee for the Plan Year divided by the eligible Employee's Deferred Compensation Contributions for the Plan Year; provided, however, that if Company Contributions are made at different rates for different levels of Compensation, the "match rate" shall be determined assuming Deferred Compensation 

39

Contributions equal to 6% of Compensation. In the case of an Employee who also makes Regular Contributions, the sum of the eligible Employee's Deferred Compensation and Regular Contributions shall be substituted for his Deferred Compensation Contributions for purposes of this paragraph.
(c)    In the event that excess aggregate contributions (as such term is hereinafter defined) are made to the Trust for any Plan Year, then, within 2‐1/2 months following the close of such Plan Year, such excess contributions (and any income allocable thereto for such Plan Year) shall be forfeited (if forfeitable) and applied to reduce future Company Contributions or, if not forfeitable, shall be distributed to the eligible Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the respective portions of the excess contributions attributable to each such eligible Employee.  For the purposes of this Section 5.10(c), the term "excess aggregate contributions" shall mean, for any Plan Year, the excess of (1) the aggregate amount of the Company Contributions and Regular Contributions actually paid to the Trust by or on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees for such Plan Year over (b) the maximum amount of such Company Contributions and Regular Contributions permitted for such Plan Year under Section 5.10(a), determined under the leveling method by reducing Company Contributions and Regular Contributions made by or on behalf of eligible Highly Compensated Employees in order of their contribution percentages (as defined in Section 5.10(b)) beginning with the highest of such percentages.  The total excess aggregate contributions shall then be allocated among Highly Compensated Employees on the basis of the amount of Company Contributions and Regular Contributions made 

40

by or on behalf of each Highly Compensated Employee, beginning with the highest such amount.
(d)    The determination of excess aggregate contributions under this Section 5.10 shall be made after (1) first determining the excess deferrals under Section 5.8 and (2) then determining the excess contributions under Section 5.9.
(e)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10, if the requirements of the ADP Safe‐Harbor (as defined in Section 5.9(f) are met, then the requirements set forth in Code Section 401(m)(11)(B) (the "ACP Safe‐Harbor") shall be considered to be met, and Company Contributions under Section 5.3(b) and any allocations under Section 15(g) shall be excluded from the requirements of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10 for that Plan Year.
(f)    In applying the limitations set forth in Section 5.9 and Section 5.10, the Committee may, at its option, utilize such testing procedures as may be permitted under Code Sections 401(a)(4), 401(k), 401(m) or 410(b), including, without limitation, (a) aggregation of the Plan with one or more other qualified plans of the Controlled Group, (b) restructuring of the Plan or any other qualified plan of the Controlled Group into one or more component plans, (c) inclusion of qualified matching contributions, qualified nonelective contributions or elective deferrals described in and meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulations under Code Sections 401(k) and 401(m) to the Plan and any other qualified plan of the Controlled Group, or (d) any permissible combination thereof.  In addition, the Committee may, at its option, limit Regular Contributions and/or Deferred Compensation Contributions for Highly Compensated 

41

Employees to any extent the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to implement the limitations of Section 5.9 and/or Section 5.10.
Section 5.11 Miscellaneous ADP/ACP Safe Harbor Notice, Election, and Contribution Requirements
(a)    In accordance with the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12), within a reasonable period before the beginning of each Plan Year the Company will provide each eligible Employee with written notice of the Employee's rights and obligations under the Plan, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the average eligible Employee and otherwise meeting the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12)(D).  If an Employee becomes eligible after the written notice for a Plan Year has been given and does not receive the notice for that reason, the notice must be provided no more than 90 days before the Employee becomes eligible and not later than the date the Employee becomes eligible.
(b)    In addition to any other election periods provided under the Plan, each eligible Employee may make or modify a deferral election during a reasonable period following receipt of the notice described in Section 5.11(a).
(c)    A Member's accrued benefit derived from contributions to the Plan with respect to the requirements of the ADP Safe‐Harbor (as defined in Section 5.9(f)) and the requirements of the ACP Safe‐Harbor (as defined in Section 5.10(e)) is nonforfeitable and may not be distributed earlier than separation from employment, death, disability, an event described in Code Section 401(k)(10), or, in the case of a 

42

profit‐sharing or stock bonus plan to which Code Section 402(e) applies, the attainment of age 59‐1/2.
(d)    If for a Plan Year a Highly Compensated Employee for such Plan Year participates in the Plan and another plan of the Controlled Group that is not aggregated with the Plan for purposes of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410(b) for such Plan Year and that is subject to Code Section 401(k)(3) for such Plan Year, contributions under the Plan for such Highly Compensated Employee for such Plan Year shall be limited so that such Highly Compensated Employee shall not receive a greater rate of matching contributions under the Plan for such Plan Year than any Member under the Plan who is not a Highly Compensated Employee.
(e)    The provisions of this Section 5.11 shall apply notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary.
(f)    The Plan documentation includes ADP testing provisions that are applicable for any Plan Year in which the notice requirements described in Code Section 401(k)(12)(D) are not satisfied and the Plan therefore does not satisfy Code Section 401(k)(12). Under no circumstance does inclusion of the ADP testing provisions relieve the Company from its obligation to make safe harbor matching contributions to the extent otherwise required in accordance with the terms of the Plan. If ADP testing applies because the Company did not satisfy the notice requirements, as described above, the Company is still obligated to make safe harbor matching contributions in accordance with the Plan provisions.

43

Section 5.12 Miscellaneous ADP/ACP Testing Provisions ‐‐ The following miscellaneous testing provisions shall apply in the circumstances described:
(a)    If the Plan provides that Employees are eligible to make Deferred Compensation Contributions before they have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and applies Code Section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether the cash or deferred arrangement meets the requirements of Code Section 410(b)(1), the Committee may apply the limitations on Deferred Compensation Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Article V either:
(1)    by comparing the actual deferral percentage of all eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to the actual deferral percentage for the Plan Year of those eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1); or
(2)    separately with respect to eligible Employees who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and eligible Employees who have satisfied such minimum age and service requirements.
Similarly, if the Plan provides that Employees are eligible to make or receive  Regular and/or Company Contributions before they have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1), and applies Code Section 410(b)(4)(B) in determining whether the portion of the Plan subject to Code Section 401(m) meets the requirements of Code Section 410(b)(1), the Committee may apply the 

44

limitations on Regular and Company Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees described in Article V either:
(1)    by comparing the contribution percentage of all eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year to the contribution percentage for the Plan Year of those eligible Employees who are not Highly Compensated Employees and who have satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1); or
(2)    separately with respect to eligible Employees who have not satisfied the minimum age and service requirements under Code Section 410(a)(1) and eligible Employees who have satisfied such minimum age and service requirements.
(b)    Effective January 1, 2008, the income or loss attributable to any excess contributions amounts  that are distributed pursuant to Article V of the Plan shall be determined for the preceding Plan Year (and not for the "gap period") under the method otherwise used for allocating income or loss to Member's Accounts (the "gap period" referring to the period between the close of the Plan Year in which excess contributions were made and the date the contributions are distributed).
(c)    The Plan shall not fail to satisfy the safe harbor testing rules for a Plan Year if for such Plan Year the Company or a Controlled Group Member maintains a plan under which "matching contributions" on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees are made at a rate greater than the rate provided under the Plan. However, the Plan shall not be deemed to have satisfied the limitations on Deferred Compensation 

45

Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees for any Plan Year unless the ratio of Company Contributions made with respect to the Deferred Compensation Contributions (and Regular Contributions) of each Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year to each such Highly Compensated Employee's Deferred Compensation Contributions (and Regular Contributions) for the Plan Year is not greater than the ratio of Company Contributions made with respect to Deferred Compensation Contributions (and Regular Contributions) of each non-Highly Compensated Employee who has made Deferred Compensation Contributions (and Regular Contributions) for the Plan Year at the same percentage of Compensation for the Plan Year as such Highly Compensated Employee to each such non-Highly Compensated Employee's Deferred Compensation Contributions (and Regular Contributions).
ARTICLE VI. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
Section 6.1 Investment Funds
(a)    The Trust Fund shall contain investment funds ("Investment Funds" or "Funds"), which shall include a Fund designated the "Eaton Shares Fund," together with the earnings thereon held, managed, invested and reinvested by the Trustee consisting of Eaton Shares purchased by the Trustee, contributed by the Company or released from a Suspense Account and cash or cash equivalents as described in Section 6.5.  In addition, in accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Investment Committee shall select or establish for investment of any portion of the Trust Fund (other than the Eaton Shares Fund) any other Fund or Funds and may modify or eliminate any such Fund.  The term Fund may include an investment alternative such as 

46

a "self‐managed brokerage account," which shall be subject to any rules, procedures and restrictions prescribed by the Committee and/or the Trustee, including, without limitation, fees and expenses (which may be deducted from such investment alternative and/or Accounts in the other Funds), minimum amounts of investment in such investment(s), and any requirement that any distribution, withdrawal or loan under the Plan shall be made only from the other Funds.  In exercising its authority to establish, modify, and eliminate Funds (other than the Eaton Shares Fund) and investment alternatives, the Investment Committee shall act in such manner that it shall be expected that the Plan will offer a broad range of investment alternatives within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation §2550.404c‐1(b) as in effect from time to time, and the available Funds shall satisfy the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(28)(B) with respect to Section 15.4.
(b)    Regular Contributions, Deferred Compensation Contributions, Company Contributions, and Eaton Retirement Contributions shall be allocated to the Investment Funds as hereinafter set forth.  Each separate Investment Fund shall be held, managed, administered, invested, reinvested, accounted for and otherwise dealt with as provided in the Trust Agreement.
(c)    In the event that any amount is credited to the Account of a Member for which the Member has not given an investment direction in the manner described in Section 6.2, including with respect to any Eaton Retirement Contribution or Rollover Contribution, such amounts shall be invested in an Investment Fund in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.

47

Section 6.2 Investment of Member Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions
(a)    Each Member may elect upon enrollment, or thereafter not more frequently than once each day, upon notice to the Committee, that, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, his future Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions made on his behalf, if any, shall all be invested entirely in one of the Funds or in any of the Funds in any combination of whole percentages.
(b)    Not more frequently than once each day, a Member may direct that his existing Accounts attributable to his Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions made on his behalf be reallocated among the Funds in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 6.2(a).
(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), investment elections by Members under this Section 6.2 shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee and/or Investment Committee shall from time to time prescribe.  In exercising its authority with respect to such restrictions, the Committee and/or Investment Committee shall act in such manner that it shall be expected that the Plan will offer a broad range of investment alternatives within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation §2550.404c‐1(b) as in effect from time to time and provide an opportunity for a Member to exercise control over assets in his individual account within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation §2550.404c‐1(b) as in effect from time to time.

48

Section 6.3 Investment of Company Contributions and Eaton Retirement Contributions
(a)    Company Matching Contributions and Eaton Retirement Contributions on behalf of a Member (not including any Eaton Shares allocated and credited to the Member's Account under Section 15.3 with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods) initially shall be invested in the same manner as such Member's Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions for the applicable contribution period are invested in accordance with Section 6.2(a).  Not more frequently than once each day, a Member may direct that his existing Accounts attributable to Company Matching Contributions on behalf of such Member (not including any Eaton Shares allocated and credited to the Member's Account under Section 15.3 with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods) and Eaton Retirement Contributions be transferred between or among the Funds in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 6.2.
(b)    Eaton Shares allocated and credited to a Member's Account under Section 15.3 with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods ending after December 31, 2001 shall be invested in accordance with Section 15.3.  Not more frequently than once each day, a Member may direct that his existing Accounts attributable to Eaton Shares allocated and credited to the Member's Account under Section 15.3 with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods ending after December 31, 2001 be transferred between or among the Funds in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 6.2.
Section 6.4 Charges and Credits to Accounts ‐‐ Except as otherwise provided in Section 15.3, each Member's Company Contribution Account will be 

49

charged with any cash or other assets allocated to his Company Contributions Account and used by the Trustee to purchase Eaton Shares or to release Eaton Shares from a Suspense Account.  Any Eaton Shares so purchased or released will be allocated to the Members' Company Contributions Accounts in the same proportions as those contributions were allocated.  If Eaton Shares are acquired from a Member's Company Contributions Account to provide for distributions, his Account will be credited with the cash or other assets used to acquire the Eaton Shares.
Section 6.5 Investment of Income Received; Cash Balances ‐‐ Subject to the provisions of Section 15.3, interest, cash dividends, shares dividends and capital gains of the Funds shall be held, invested and reinvested in the same Fund from which they were derived, provided that the Trustee may maintain, or an Investment Adviser may direct the maintenance, in cash or short‐term securities of such part of the assets of each Fund as in its sole discretion it shall deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Plan.
Section 6.6 Investment Values and Decisions; Exercise of Investment Discretion
(a)    Each Member shall assume all risk in connection with any decrease in the market value of any investment in the respective Funds in which he participates, and such Funds shall be the sole source of all payments to be made under the Plan from his Accounts.
(b)    Neither any Company, the Committee, the Investment Committee, the Trustee, nor any officer or employee of any of them is authorized to advise a 

50

Member as to the manner in which contributions to the Plan and income thereon should be invested and reinvested.  The election of the Fund or Funds in which a Member participates is his sole responsibility, and the fact that designated Funds are available to Members for investment shall not be construed as a recommendation for the investment of contributions hereunder in all or any of such Funds.
(c)    Any decision by a Member to invest in any Fund pursuant to this Article VI shall constitute an exercise of control over the assets allocated to his Accounts by such Member (to the extent of such exercise of control) within the meaning of Section 404(c) of ERISA, and each Member who so exercises such control shall by such exercise, release and agree, on his behalf and on the behalf of his heirs and beneficiaries, to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, each Company, the Investment Committee and the Committee, and any officer or employee of any of them, from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) caused by or arising out of such exercise, including without limitation any diminution in value or losses incurred from such exercise.
Section 6.7 Diversification of Eaton Shares ‐‐ The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall apply to any investment in the Eaton Shares Fund so long as Eaton Shares are publicly traded or treated as publicly traded under Code Section 401(a)(35).  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Member whose Accounts are invested, in whole or in part, in the Eaton Shares Fund shall be permitted to divest such investments and re-invest such Accounts in other Investment Funds provided under the Plan.  The Plan shall offer at least three Investment Fund options as 

51

alternatives to the Eaton Shares Fund. Each such alternative Investment Fund shall be diversified and shall have materially different risk and return characteristics.  The Committee shall notify each eligible Member of his diversification rights no later than 30 days prior to the date he is first eligible to divest his investment in the Eaton Shares Fund, which shall describe the importance of diversifying the investment of retirement assets.  The Plan shall not be treated as meeting the requirements of this Section 6.7 if the Plan imposes any restrictions or conditions on investment in the Eaton Shares Fund that do not also apply to investment in the other Investment Funds.
ARTICLE VII. CREDITS AND ACCOUNTS
Section 7.1 Credits ‐‐ As of each Valuation Date any increase or decrease in the fair market value of each Fund since the prior Valuation Date, and all income of such Fund for such period shall be credited to or deducted from the Accounts in the same proportion that the respective amount of each Account in such Fund bears to the total amount of such Fund as of such prior Valuation Date.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence or any other provision of the Plan, some or all of the Funds may be administered and accounted for on a share basis or on a unitized basis, as determined by the Committee.
Section 7.2 Accounts ‐‐ An individual record of the Accounts of each Member shall be maintained by the Committee, and each Member shall receive regular statements setting forth the status of his Accounts, reflecting the distribution among the Funds of the Member's Accounts, and the respective market values thereof or, if share accounting is being utilized, the number of shares therein.

ARTICLE IX. LOANS TO MEMBERS
Section 9.1 Loan Program  ‐‐ In accordance with Section 12.2, the Committee is hereby designated as the Named Fiduciary with authority and responsibility to approve or deny loans and, except as provided in Section 9.4, collect unpaid loans in accordance with this Article IX.  Subject to such uniform and nondiscriminatory rules as the Committee may establish and to the provisions of this Article, the Committee may in its discretion direct the Trustee to make a loan to a Member from any of his Accounts in the Trust Fund, except for his Eaton Retirement Contribution Account and his Savings Plan Individual Retirement Account, if any, under Article XXIII ("SPIRA") and except for amounts representing Company Contributions for the previous twenty‐four (24) months.  For each Member for whom a loan is authorized, the Committee shall establish a separate Investment Fund (hereinafter in this Article called his "Separate Investment Fund"), from which such loan shall be made.  Unless the Committee directs otherwise, such Separate Investment Fund shall be funded by a pro rata liquidation of the Member's interests in each of the Funds; and payments of interest and repayments of principal shall be allocated to the Member's Accounts and invested in one or more of the Funds in accordance with procedures established by the Committee.  Each such loan shall be in an amount which is not less than $1,000, and which, when added to the outstanding balance of any other loan or loans to the Member from all qualified employer plans (as defined in Code Section 72(p)(4)) of the Controlled Group, does not exceed the lesser of (a) $50,000, reduced by the excess, if any, of (i) the highest outstanding balance of loans from the Plan during the one‐year period 

55

ending on the day before the date on which such loan was made, over (ii) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date on which such loan was made or (b) 50% of the amount of such Member's vested Account, except for his Eaton Retirement Contribution Account and SPIRA, determined as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or next preceding the date the loan is made.
Section 9.2 Certain Conditions  ‐‐ As a condition to the receipt of any loan pursuant to Section 9.1, (a) a Member shall have and maintain in his Separate Investment Fund an amount (including any promissory note referred to in Section 9.3) not less than the total amount of such loan, and (b) to the extent (if any) that Code Section 401(a)(11) applies to a Member's Account at the time a Member's Account is used to secure a loan, the spouse of the Member, who is married at the time the loan is made, consents (in the manner described in Section 2.1(iii)) to the loan and to the use of the Member's Account as security for the loan.  To the extent prescribed by the Committee, any limitation or restriction otherwise applicable to investment changes shall not be applicable to any investment change made by a Member to satisfy the condition specified in clause (a) of this Section 9.2.
Section 9.3 Certain Standards and Requirements  ‐‐ Loans made pursuant to Section 9.1, (a) shall be made available to all Members on a reasonably equivalent basis, (b) shall not be made available to highly compensated Members, officers or shareholders in a percentage amount greater than the percentage amount made available to other Members, (c) shall be secured by the Member's Account and such other collateral as the Committee may require and (d) shall be evidenced by a 

56

promissory note executed by the Member which provides for a reasonable rate of interest as determined by the Committee and for repayment in substantially equal installments not less frequently than quarterly (i) within a specified period of time, which shall not extend beyond five (5) years from the date the loan is made unless the loan proceeds are used to acquire a dwelling unit which within a reasonable time is to be used (determined at the time the loan is made) as the principal residence of the Member, in which case the repayment period may be extended for up to ten (10) years from the date the loan is made, and (ii) upon such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine including provision that (A) the loan shall be repaid pursuant to authorization by the Member of equal deductions from his Compensation (or pursuant to other payment methods permitted by the Committee in the event the Member is not receiving Compensation) over the repayment period sufficient to amortize fully the loan within the repayment period, (B) the loan shall be prepayable in whole (but not in part) at any time without penalty and (C) before any distribution or withdrawal is made from the Member's Account the loan shall be prepaid to the extent necessary in order that the then outstanding balance of the loan shall not exceed the amount which could be loaned under the limitations of Code Section 72(p) after reflecting such distribution or withdrawal.  Pursuant to loan procedures approved by the Committee the repayment period may be adjusted consistently with regulatory guidance.
Section 9.4 Default and Collection  ‐‐ Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, (a) a loan made pursuant to Section 9.1 shall be a first lien against the Member's Account and any amount of principal or interest due and 

57

unpaid thereon shall be deducted by the Trustee at the direction of the Committee from such Account before the payment of any portion thereof under the provisions of Article X or Article XI to the Member or his Beneficiary, and (b) in the event a loan is not repaid in full within the period of time specified in the promissory note executed by him as hereinabove provided (or in the event of a default by a Member which, under the provisions of such promissory note, accelerates the payment of principal and interest on a loan), the Trustee shall be authorized at the direction of the Committee to deduct the then unpaid principal and interest on such loan from the Member's Account; provided, however, that no such deduction shall be made from his Account until such time as he becomes entitled to receive such part of his Account under the provisions of Article X or Article XI, and (c) the Committee, in its discretion, may direct the Trustee to take such action as the Committee may reasonably determine, including the demand for repayment of the loan and, subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the institution of legal action to enforce collection of any balance due from the Member, and (d) in the event the Committee fails or refuses for any reason to direct the Trustee as provided in sub‐paragraph (c) above or if the Trustee otherwise reasonably concludes that the collectability of a loan hereunder is in jeopardy, the Trustee is authorized, after reasonable notice to the Committee, to take such action as it may reasonably determine to enforce repayment and satisfaction of the loan.
Section 9.5 Deceased Member  ‐‐ If a Member dies with an outstanding loan and with his surviving spouse as Beneficiary, the Beneficiary may repay the entire 

58

loan balance or may make payments with coupons in accordance with the procedures established by the Committee.
ARTICLE X. WITHDRAWALS DURING EMPLOYMENT
Section 10.1 Withdrawals ‐‐ Subject to the rights of Members under Section 15.4, upon notice to the Committee a Member may elect to make a withdrawal from his Regular Account, Company Contribution Account or Deferred Compensation Account upon the conditions set forth below.  The withdrawal may include one or more of the following steps, which must be made in sequence.  In each instance the amount of contributions or earnings withdrawn shall be limited to the value thereof as of the Valuation Date applicable to such withdrawal under uniform rules of the Committee. 
Step 1 ‐‐ withdrawal of all or a portion of the Member's Regular Account which is attributable to Matched or Unmatched Regular Contributions made prior to 1987;
Step 2 ‐‐ withdrawal of the entire amount available under Step 1 plus all or a portion of the Member's Unmatched Regular Contributions made after 1986;

59

Step 5 ‐‐ withdrawal of the entire amount available under Step 4, plus all or a portion of the Member's Company Contribution Account, except that the portion of such Account attributable to Company Matching Contributions under Section 5.3(b) (and the earnings thereon) with respect to Compensation paid (or that in the absence of the Plan would be paid) after December 31, 2001 may not be withdrawn unless the Member is at least 59‐1/2 years old, and allocations to a Member under Section 15.3(g) with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods ending after December 31, 2001 may not be withdrawn unless the Member is at least 59‐1/2 years old;
Step 6(a) ‐‐ in the event a Member is at least 59‐1/2 years old on the date of withdrawal, withdrawal of the entire amount available under Step 5, plus all or a portion of the Member's Deferred Compensation Account;
Step 6(b) ‐‐ Except in the case of a Member who is at least 59-1/2 years old on the date of withdrawal, Step 5 is subject to the requirement that any portion of such Account attributable to Company Contributions (and the earnings thereon) made within twenty-four (24) months preceding the date of such withdrawal may not be withdrawn.
A Member may not make a withdrawal from his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account.
Section 10.2 Hardship Withdrawals ‐‐ Upon the application of any Member who has complied with the sequence of withdrawal requirements under Section 10.1, the Committee, in accordance with a uniform, nondiscriminatory policy, 

60

shall, if the withdrawal satisfies (a) and (b) below, permit such Member to withdraw for Hardship all or a portion of the amounts then credited to his or her Deferred Compensation Account.
(a)    Immediate and Heavy Financial Need.  A withdrawal is on account of Hardship only if made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Member and in an amount necessary to meet that need.  The determination of whether or not the Member has an immediate and heavy financial need, and the withdrawal is necessary, as outlined in subparagraph (b), to satisfy such financial need, is to be made in accordance with nondiscriminatory and objective standards set forth in the Plan.  A financial need shall not fail to be immediate and heavy merely because such need was reasonably foreseeable or voluntarily incurred by the Member.  A withdrawal will be deemed to be made on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the Member if the withdrawal is on account of any one of items (1) through (7) below:
(1)    Expenses previously incurred by or necessary for the Member, the Member's spouse, or any dependent of the Member (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof) to obtain medical care deductible under Code Section 213(d), determined without regard to whether the expenses exceed any applicable income limit;
(2)    Costs directly related to the purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a principal residence for the Member;
(3)    Payment of tuition, related educational fees, and room and board expenses for the next 12 months of post‐ secondary education for the Member, 

61

or the Member's spouse, child, or other dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to subsections (b)(1), (b)(2) and (d)(1)(B) thereof);
(4)    Payments necessary to prevent the eviction of the Member from his principal residence or foreclosure on the mortgage on the Member's principal residence;
(5)    Payment of funeral or burial expenses for the Member's deceased parent, spouse, child, or dependent (as defined in Code Section 152, without regard to subsection (d)(1)(B) thereof);
(6)    Expenses for the repair of damage to the Member's principal residence that would qualify for a casualty loss deduction under Code Section 165 (determined without regard to whether the loss exceeds any applicable income limit); or
(7)    Any other item specified by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, in regulations, revenue rulings, notices, or other documents of general applicability, to constitute a deemed immediate and heavy financial need.
(b)    Distribution Necessary to Satisfy an Immediate and Heavy Financial Need.  A Hardship withdrawal will not be treated as necessary to satisfy an immediate and heavy financial need of a Member to the extent that the amount of the withdrawal is in excess of the amount required to relieve the financial need, or to the extent that such need may be satisfied from other sources that are reasonably available to the Member.  This determination is to be made by the Committee on the basis of all relevant facts and circumstances.  A Member making an application for a Hardship 

62

withdrawal shall have the burden of presenting to the Committee evidence of the necessity of the withdrawal to satisfy the immediate and heavy financial need, and the Committee shall not permit withdrawal for Hardship without first receiving such evidence.  A withdrawal generally may be treated as necessary to satisfy a financial need if the Committee reasonably relies upon the Member's representation that the need cannot be relieved through the following sources:
(1)    reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise;
(2)    reasonable liquidation of the Member's assets, to the extent that such liquidation itself would not cause an immediate and heavy financial need (For this purpose, the Member's resources shall be deemed to include those assets of his or her spouse and minor children that are reasonably available to the Member);
(3)    cessation of the Member's Regular and Deferred Compensation Contributions under the Plan;
(4)    other distributions or nontaxable loans from the Plan or any other plans maintained by the Company or from plans maintained by any other employer; or
(5)    borrowing from commercial sources on reasonable commercial terms.
Additionally, a distribution generally may be treated as necessary to satisfy a financial need if it complies with guidelines established by the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service through the publication of revenue rulings, notices and other 

63

documents of general applicability.  A withdrawal pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall result in a six (6) month suspension of the Member's Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions made on the Member's behalf.
Section 10.3 Time and Form of Withdrawal Distributions ‐‐ Distributions of withdrawals shall be made all in cash except that distributions of withdrawals from the Eaton Shares Fund shall be made all in cash or all in whole Eaton Shares, as the Member elects, as soon as practicable after the procedural requirements established by uniform rule of the Committee can be met.  Any whole Eaton Shares distributed shall be of Value equal to the amount that would otherwise be distributed in cash determined as of the Valuation Date established for such withdrawal under uniform rules established by the Committee.  Cash distributions shall be based upon the amount to the credit of the Member's Accounts as of a Valuation Date established for such withdrawal under uniform rules established by the Committee.
Section 10.4 Other Withdrawals  ‐‐ In the event that amounts held in a Member's Account were transferred to the Plan from another plan which at the time of such transfer were subject to in-service withdrawal rights protected by Code Section 411(d)(6), such withdrawal rights shall continue to be available under the Plan.
Section 10.5 HEART Act Reservist Withdrawals ‐‐  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and subject to the provisions of this Section 10.5, a Member who is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of Title 37 of the United States Code), who has been on active duty for a period of at least 30 

64

days, may apply for a withdrawal in an amount from his Account that is attributable to Deferred Compensation Contributions.  Any distribution made pursuant to this Section 10.5 must be made during the period beginning on the 30th day of active duty and ending on the close of his active duty period.  Further, for a period of at least six (6) months after his receipt of the withdrawal, such Member's Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions are suspended and the Member shall be prohibited, under the terms of an otherwise legally enforceable agreement, from making elective contributions, including after-tax contributions, to all other plans maintained by the Company.  For this purpose, the phrase "plans maintained by the Company" means all qualified and nonqualified plans of deferred compensation maintained by the Company or any Controlled Group Member, including a cash or deferred arrangement that is part of a cafeteria plan within the meaning of Code Section 125 and also includes a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan maintained by the Employer or any Controlled Group Member.
Section 10.6 Qualified Reservist Withdrawals ‐‐ Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee and subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, a Member who is a member of a reserve component (as defined in Section 101 of Title 37 of the United States Code) who is ordered or called to active duty for a period in excess of 179 days, or for an indefinite period, may apply for a withdrawal in an amount from his Account that is attributable to Deferred Compensation Contributions.  Any distribution made to a Member pursuant to this Section 10.6 must be made during the period beginning on the 

65

date of his order to call to active duty and ending on the close of his active duty period.  As provided under Code Section 72(t)(2)(G), such a withdrawal is not subject to the 10% penalty on early distributions.
ARTICLE XI. SETTLEMENT AFTER TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Section 11.1 In General ‐‐ Upon termination of employment a Member's Accounts shall be settled in accordance with the following provisions:
(a)    Distributions of $5,000 or less.  If the total value of the vested Accounts (including SPIRA) of a Member or Beneficiary is $5,000 or less, distribution thereof shall be made to such Member or Beneficiary as soon as administratively practicable in a single lump sum in cash or in cash and in whole Eaton Shares to the extent his Accounts are then invested in the Eaton Shares Fund, as elected by the Member.  In the absence of such election, distribution shall be made in a lump sum in cash.
In the event of a "mandatory distribution" greater than $1,000 in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1(a), if the Member does not elect to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Member in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly, then the Committee will pay the distribution in a direct rollover to an individual retirement plan designated by the Committee.  A "mandatory distribution" means any distribution made to a Member without the Member's consent that is made before the Member attains the later of age 62 or his normal retirement date.  Distribution to a Member's surviving spouse or to 

66

an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order or to a nonspouse beneficiary is not a "mandatory distribution" for purposes of this Section 11.1(a).
(b)    Distributions in Excess of $5,000.  If the total value of the vested Accounts (including SPIRA) of a Member or Beneficiary exceeds $5,000, distribution shall be made in accordance with the other applicable sections of this Article XI.
Section 11.2 Retirement or Disability ‐‐ Upon a Member's Retirement or Disability, the Member (or, in the case of incompetency, the Member's legal representative if one has been appointed) may by notice to the Committee select distribution of his vested Accounts in accordance with one of the following methods:
(i)    a lump‐sum distribution of the entire value of the Member's vested Accounts; or
(ii)    such amount of the Member's vested Accounts as the Member from time to time shall elect and in such manner as shall be prescribed (from time to time) by the Committee.
Distribution of a Member's vested Account under method (i) or (ii) above will be made in cash, or in cash and in whole Eaton Shares to the extent his Accounts are then invested in the Eaton Shares Fund, as elected by the Member.  In the absence of such election, distribution shall be made in cash.  The settlement will be based upon the amount to the credit of the Member's vested Accounts as of a Valuation Date established in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee.  The distribution shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable following the date specified in the 

67

Member's notice, which may be the last day permitted for distribution under Section 11.5.
Section 11.3 Death ‐‐ In the event of the death of a Member prior to the Member's Required Beginning Date as determined under Section 11.5, the complete distribution of his vested Accounts shall be made to his Beneficiary within five (5) years after the Member's death, in a lump sum or in periodic, partial withdrawals as elected by the Beneficiary by written notice to the Committee; provided, however, that such five (5) year requirement shall not apply if the Beneficiary has been designated in writing by the Member, and if the distribution method elected by the Beneficiary will result in the complete distribution (in accordance with Treasury Regulations) of the Member's vested Accounts over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Beneficiary.  The distribution shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable following notice by the Beneficiary to the Committee requesting such distribution.  If, following the death of the Member, the Beneficiary has not, within a reasonable time as determined by the Committee, prior to the last day of the year following the year that includes the Member's date of death, elected a distribution commencing no later than the last day of the year following the year that includes the Member's date of death and a method of distribution that satisfies the distribution requirements described above, distribution shall be made in a lump sum on the last day of the year following the year that includes the Member's date of death.  In the event of the death of a Member after the Member's Required Beginning Date as determined under Section 11.5, the vested Accounts of such Member shall be distributed to the Member's Beneficiary as described above in 

68

this Section 11.3 and in accordance with Treasury Regulations, except that the distribution method shall provide for distribution at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being made to the Member as of the date of the Member's death.  Distribution of the Member's Accounts will be made in cash, or in cash and in whole Eaton Shares to the extent his Accounts are then invested in the Eaton Shares Fund, as elected by the Beneficiary.  In the absence of such election, distribution shall be made in cash.  A Beneficiary shall be treated as a Member for purposes of Section 6.2(b), Section 6.3(b), Section 6.3(c), Section 15.3(d), and Section 15.5.
Section 11.4 Other Termination ‐‐ If a Member's employment is terminated other than by Retirement, Disability or death, the Member (or, in the case of incompetency, the Member's legal representative if one has been appointed) may by notice to the Committee select distribution of his vested Accounts in accordance with one of the following methods:
(i)    a lump‐sum distribution of the entire value of the Member's vested Accounts; or
(ii)    such amount of the Member's vested Accounts as the Member from time to time shall elect and in such manner as shall be prescribed (from time to time) by the Committee.
Distribution of a Member's vested Account under method (i) or (ii) above will be made in cash, or in cash and in whole Eaton Shares to the extent his Accounts are then invested in the Eaton Shares Fund, as elected by the Member.  In the absence of such election, distribution shall be made in cash.  The settlement will be based upon 

69

the amount to the credit of the Member's vested Accounts as of a Valuation Date (established in accordance with procedures adopted by the Committee).  The distribution shall commence as soon as reasonably practicable following the date specified in the Member's notice.
Section 11.5 Value and Timing of Distributions
(a)    The provisions set forth in this Section 11.5 will supersede any conflicting provisions of Articles XI or XXV.
(b)    Any whole Eaton Shares distributed under this Article XI shall be of Value equal to the amount that would otherwise be distributed in cash determined as of the Valuation Date established for such purpose under uniform rules established by the Committee.  Cash distributions shall be based upon the amount to the credit of the Member's vested Accounts as of a Valuation Date established for such purpose under uniform rules established by the Committee.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, distribution of a Member's entire interest in his vested Account shall commence no later than the earlier of:  
(i)    unless the Member elects a later date (with the failure of the Member to file an application for distribution being treated as an election to postpone distribution), 60 days after the close of the Plan Year in which (i) the Member's 65th birthday occurs, (ii) the 10th anniversary of the year in which he commenced participation in the Plan occurs, or (iii) his termination of employment occurs, whichever is latest; or

70

(ii)    the April 1st following the close of the calendar year in which he attains age 701⁄2, whether or not his termination of employment date has occurred, except that if a Member is not a five‐percent owner (as defined in Code Section 416), with respect to any Plan Year ending in the calendar year in which he attained age 701⁄2, distribution of such Participant's vested interest in his Accounts shall, at the election of the Participant, commence no later than the April 1st following the close of the calendar year in which he attains age 701⁄2 or retires, whichever is later (referred to herein as the Member's "Required Beginning Date").
Distributions required to commence under this Section 11.5(c) shall be made in accordance with Code Section 401(a)(9) and regulations issued thereunder, including the minimum distribution incidental benefit requirements, as further set forth in Section 11.9.
(d)    If the amount of a distribution required to begin on a date determined under the applicable provisions of the Plan cannot be ascertained by such date, or if it is not possible to make such payment on such date because the Committee has been unable to locate a Member or Beneficiary after making reasonable efforts to do so, a payment retroactive to such date may be made no later than 60 days after the earliest date on which the amount of such payment can be ascertained or the date on which the Member or Beneficiary is located (whichever is applicable).
Section 11.6 Separate Accounting for Non-Vested Amounts ‐‐ If as of a Member's employment termination date the Member's vested interest in his Eaton 

71

Retirement Contributions Account is less than 100 percent, that portion of his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account that is not vested shall be accounted for separately from the vested portion and shall be disposed of as provided in Section 11.7.  If prior to such employment termination date the Member received a distribution under the Plan and the non-vested portion of his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account was not forfeited as provided in Section 11.7 or, if forfeited, was restored as provided in Section 11.9, his vested interest in his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be an amount ("X") determined by the following formula:
X = P(AB + D) – D
For purposes of the formula:
		
	P =
	The Member's vested interest in his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account on the date distribution is to be made.

		
	AB =
	The balance of the Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date distribution is to be made.

		
	D =
	The amount of all prior distributions from the Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account.

Section 11.7 Disposition of Non-Vested Amounts ‐‐ That portion of a Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account that is not vested upon the occurrence of his employment termination date shall be disposed of as follows:
(a)    If the Member has no vested interest in his Account upon the occurrence of his employment termination date or his vested interest in his Account as 

72

of the date of distribution does not exceed $1,000, resulting in the distribution or deemed distribution to the Member of his entire vested interest in his Account, the non-vested balance in the Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be forfeited and his Account closed as of (i) the Member's employment termination date, if the Member has no vested interest in his Account and is therefore deemed to have received distribution on that date, or (ii) the date actual distribution is made to the Member.
(b)    If the Member's vested interest in his Account exceeds $1,000 and the Member is eligible for and consents in writing to a single sum payment of his vested interest in his Account, the non-vested balance in the Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall be forfeited and his Account closed as of the date the single sum payment occurs, provided that such distribution is made because of the Member's employment termination date.  A distribution is deemed to be made because of a Member's employment termination date if it occurs prior to the end of the second Plan Year beginning on or after the Member's employment termination date.  
(c)    If neither Section 11.7(a) nor 11.7(b) is applicable, the non-vested balance in the Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account shall continue to be held in such Account and shall not be forfeited until the last day of the 5-year period beginning on his employment termination date, provided that the Member is not reemployed by the Company or a Controlled Group Member prior to that date.
Section 11.8 Treatment of Forfeited Amounts ‐‐ Whenever the non-vested balance of a Member's Eaton Retirement Contributions Account is forfeited 

73

during a Plan Year in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7, the amount of such forfeiture shall be applied against the Company's contribution obligations for the Plan Year or any subsequent Plan Year or, at the Company’s election, applied to pay Plan expenses.
Section 11.9 Recrediting of Forfeited Amounts ‐‐ A former Member who forfeited the non-vested portion of his Eaton Retirement Contributions Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7(a) or 11.7(b) and who is reemployed by the Company or a Controlled Group Member shall have such forfeited amounts recredited to a new Account in his name, without adjustment for interim gains or losses experienced by the Trust, if he returns to employment with the Company or a Controlled Group Member before the end of the five-year period beginning on the date he received, or is deemed to have received, distribution of his Account.  Funds needed in any Plan Year to recredit the Account of a Member with the amounts of prior forfeitures in accordance with the preceding sentence shall come first from forfeitures that arise during such Plan Year, and then from the Company by way of a separate contribution.
Section 11.10 Minimum Distribution Requirements 
(a)    General Rules.
(1)    Precedence.  The requirements of this Section 11.10 will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan. 
(2)    Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated.  All distributions required under this Section 11.10 will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 401(a)(9). 

74

(3)    TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections.  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 11.10, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.
(b)    Time and Manner of Distribution.
(1)    Required Beginning Date.  The Member's entire vested interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Member no later than the Member's Required Beginning Date.
(2)    Death of Member Before Distributions Begin.  If the Member dies before distributions begin, the Member's entire vested interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, no later than as follows:  
(A)    If the Member 's surviving spouse is the Member'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 Member died, or by December 31 of the calendar year in which the Member would have attained age 701⁄2, if later. 
(B)    If the Member's surviving spouse is not the Member'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 Member died.

75

(C)    If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Member's death, the Member's entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member 's death. 
(D)    If the Member's surviving spouse is the Member's sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Member but before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 11.10(b)(2), other than Section 11.10(b)(2)(A), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member.  
For purposes of this Section 11.10(b)(2) and Section 11.10(d), unless Section 11.10(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the Member's Required Beginning Date. If Section 11.10(b)(2)(D) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 11.10(b)(2)(A). If distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence to the Member before the Member's Required Beginning Date (or to the Member's surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 11.10(b)(2)(A)), the date distributions are considered to begin is the date distributions actually commence.
(3)    Forms of Distribution.  Unless the Member'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 11.10(c) and 11.10

76

(d). If the Member'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 Section 401(a)(9) and the Treasury Regulations.
(c)    Required Minimum Distributions During a Member's Lifetime.
(1)    Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Member's lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of: 
(A)    the quotient obtained by dividing the Member's account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Member's age as of the Member's birthday in the distribution calendar year; or 
(B)    if the Member's sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Member's spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Member's account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in Treasury Regulation §1.401(a)(9)-9, using the Member's and spouse's attained ages as of the Member's and spouse's birthdays in the distribution calendar year.
(2)    Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Member's Death.  Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 11.10(c) beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Member's date of death.

77

(d)    Required Minimum Distributions After Member's Death.
(1)    Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(A)    Member Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the Member 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 Member's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member's account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Member or the remaining life expectancy of the Member's designated beneficiary, determined as follows:
I.    The Member's remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Member in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year following death.
II.    If the Member's surviving spouse is the Member's sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Member'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 

78

the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year following death.
III.    If the Member's surviving spouse is not the Member'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 Member's death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year following death. 
(B)    No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Member 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 Member's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Member's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member 's account balance by the Member's remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Member in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year following death.
(2)    Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(A)    Member Survived by Designated Beneficiary.  If the Member 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 Member's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Member's account balance by the 

79

remaining life expectancy of the Member's designated beneficiary, determined as provided in Section 11.10(d)(1). 
(B)    No Designated Beneficiary.  If the Member dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Member's death, distribution of the Member's entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Member's death.
(C)    Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse are Required to Begin.  If the Member dies before the date distributions begin, the Member's surviving spouse is the Member's sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 11.10(b)(2)(A), this Section 11.10(d)(2) will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Member.
(e)    Definitions.
(1)    Designated beneficiary.  The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under Section 2.1 and is the designated beneficiary under Code Section 401(a)(9) and Treasury Regulation §1.401(a)(9)-4. 
(2)    Distribution calendar year.  A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Member's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the 

80

calendar year which contains the Member's Required Beginning Date. For distributions beginning after the Member's death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under Section 11.10(b)(2). The required minimum distribution for the Member's first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Member'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 Member's Required Beginning Date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.  
(3)    Life expectancy.  Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Treasury Regulation §1.401(a)(9)-9.
(4)    Member's account balance.  The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.  
(5)    Required Beginning Date.  The date specified in Section 11.5(c)(ii).

81

Section 11.11 Rollovers to Other Plans or IRAs ‐‐ Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in lieu of receiving distribution in a form of payment provided under this Article XI, a Qualified Distributee may elect, in such time and manner as established by the Committee, to have a portion or all of any Eligible Rollover Distribution paid, in a Direct Rollover, to an Eligible Retirement Plan designated by the Qualified Distributee.  For purposes of this Section 11.11, the following definitions apply:
(a)    "Eligible Rollover Distribution" means any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the Member, except (i) any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (made not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Member or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Member and the Member's designated Beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more, (ii) any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Code Section 401(a)(9), and (iii) any distribution made upon hardship of the Member.
(b)    "Eligible Retirement Plan" means any of the following:  (i) an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a), (ii) an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b), (iii) an annuity plan described in Code Section 403(a) that accepts rollovers, (iv) a qualified trust described in Code Section 401(a) that accepts rollovers, (v) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) that accepts rollovers, (vi) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or 

82

instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from the Plan, or (vii) effective for distributions made on or after January 1, 2008, a Roth IRA, as described in Code Section 408A, provided, that for distributions made prior to January 1, 2010, such rollover shall be subject to the limitations contained in Code Section 408A(c)(3)(B).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of a Member's Eligible Rollover Distribution that consists of his after-tax Regular Contributions may only be transferred to an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or (b) or to a qualified defined contribution plan described in Code Section 401(a) or 403(a) that agrees to separately account for such contributions, including separate accounting for the portion of such Eligible Rollover Distribution that is includible in income and the portion that is not includible in income.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective for distributions made on and after April 1, 2007, an Eligible Retirement Plan with respect to a Qualified Distributee who is a nonspouse beneficiary means either an individual retirement account described in Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Code Section 408(b) (an "IRA").  Such IRA must be treated as an IRA inherited from the deceased Member by the Qualified Distributee and must be established in a manner that identifies it as such.
(c)    "Qualified Distributee" means a Member, his surviving spouse, his spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Code Section 414(p), or, for periods on and after April 1, 2007, a 

83

deceased Member's nonspouse beneficiary who is his designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code Section 401(a)(9)(E).
(d)    "Direct Rollover" means a payment by the Plan to one or more Eligible Retirement Plans specified by the Qualified Distributee.
Section 11.12 Unclaimed Accounts
(a)    Each Member and/or each Beneficiary must file with the Committee from time to time in writing his address to which United States mail to him is to be sent and each change of such address.  Any communication, statement or notice addressed to a Member or Beneficiary at such last address filed with the Committee or if no address is filed with the Committee then at the last such address as shown on the Company's records will be binding on the Member or Beneficiary for all purposes of the Plan.  Neither the Plan nor any person acting on behalf of the Plan (including the Committee and the Trustee) shall be required to search for or locate a Member or Beneficiary.
(b)    Any other provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding:  "Unclaimed Accounts" (as hereinbelow defined) of a Member or Beneficiary shall be forfeited and shall be used to reduce future Company Contributions and Eaton Retirement Contributions as though the Member or Beneficiary were not vested in the Accounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, should the amount of all such forfeitures for any Plan Year exceed the amount of Company Contribution and Employee Retirement Contribution obligations for the Plan Year, the excess amount of such forfeitures shall be held unallocated in a suspense account and shall for all Plan 

84

purposes be applied against the Company Contribution and Eaton Retirement Contribution obligations for the following Plan Year.  Upon the filing of an application for distribution with respect to a forfeited Account by the Member or Beneficiary, the Member's or Beneficiary's Accounts shall be immediately reinstated as though the Member or Beneficiary  were 100% vested in such Accounts but in an amount equal to the cash value of the Accounts on the date forfeited.  To the extent forfeited amounts are not available to satisfy reinstatements, the Company shall contribute the amount required to reinstate the Member's or Beneficiary's Account.  For purposes of this Section 11.12(b), beginning effective May 16, 2012, the term "Unclaimed Accounts" shall mean any Account (including any check or other instrument issued in connection with the distribution of such Account) (1) the distribution of which is under the terms of the Plan required currently to commence, or (2) the distribution of which has commenced, and with respect to which the person to whom such distribution is to be made has not made written claim therefor in such manner as shall be prescribed by the Committee within a reasonable period (which period shall be not less than 180 days) after the Committee has provided notice regarding distribution with respect to such Account to the Member's or Beneficiary's address as determined under Section 11.12(a).
Section 11.13 Notice Regarding Forms of Payment ‐‐ Within the 150 day period ending 30 days before a Member's benefit payment date, the Committee shall provide the Member with a written explanation of his right to defer distribution until his attainment of age 65, or such later date as may be provided in the Plan, his right to 

85

make a Direct Rollover, and the forms of payment provided under the Plan.  Distribution of the Member's vested Account may commence fewer than 30 days after such notice is provided to the Member if (i) the Committee clearly informs the Member of his right to consider his election of whether or not to make a Direct Rollover or to receive a distribution prior to his attainment of age 65 and his form of payment for a period of at least 30 days following his receipt of the notice and (ii) the Member, after receiving the notice, affirmatively elects an early distribution.  The written explanation provided by the Committee shall include a description of the consequences of the Member of electing an immediate distribution of his vested Account balances instead of deferring payment to his attainment of age 65.
ARTICLE XII. COMMITTEES; FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY; CLAIMS
Section 12.1 Committee ‐‐ The Plan shall be administered by the Committee which shall be appointed and may be removed by the Board.

(iii)    to direct the segregation of all or a portion of the assets of Voluntary Deductible Accounts of the Trust into an Investment Adviser account or accounts at any time and from time to time, and to add to or withdraw assets from such Investment Adviser account or accounts as it deems desirable or appropriate.
(c)    The Committee, the Investment Committee and any other persons who jointly or severally have authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan may allocate to and among any one or more of them their respective fiduciary responsibilities, other than the power to appoint an Investment Adviser, to manage or control Trust assets under the Plan, and may designate others to carry out fiduciary responsibilities, other than such "trustee responsibilities," under the Plan.  Such allocation and designation, respectively, shall be effected by written instruments, copies of which shall be delivered to Eaton Corporation plc, such committee of the Board, such committee of officers, or such officers of Eaton

The Committee shall have absolute discretion in carrying out its responsibilities.  The Committee is also authorized to adopt such uniform rules as it may consider necessary or desirable for the conduct of its affairs and the transaction of its business, including, but not limited to, the power on the part of the Committee to act without formally convening and to provide that action of the Committee may be expressed by written instrument signed by a majority of its members.  It shall elect a Secretary, who need not be a member of the Committee, who shall record the minutes of its proceedings and shall perform such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to him.  The Committee may retain legal counsel (who may be counsel of Eaton) when and if the Committee finds it necessary or convenient to do so, and may also employ such other assistants, clerical or otherwise, as it may deem needed, and expend such monies as may be required for the proper performance of its work.  Such costs and expenses shall be borne by the Companies in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI hereof.

88

Section 12.4 Reliance ‐‐ To the extent permitted by law, the Committee, the Investment Committee, the Trustee, the Boards of Directors of the Companies and the Companies and their respective officers and employees shall not be liable for the directions, actions or omissions of any agent, legal or other counsel, accountant, actuary or any other expert who has agreed to the performance of administrative duties in connection with the Plan or Trust.  The Committee, the Investment Committee, the Trustee, the Board of Directors of the Companies, and the Companies and their respective officers and employees shall be entitled to rely upon all information and advice which may be given by such experts and shall be fully protected in respect to any action taken or suffered by them in good faith reliance upon any such information or advice.

The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive 

89

of other rights to which any member of the Committee, the Investment Committee or employee may be entitled as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.
Section 12.6 Claims ‐‐ The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall control with respect to the resolution of claims for benefits under the Plan.  Whenever a claim for benefits under the Plan filed by any person (herein referred to as the "Claimant") is denied, whether in whole or in part, the Company shall transmit a written notice of such decision to the Claimant within 90 days of the date the claim was filed or, if special circumstances require an extension, within 180 days of such date, which notice shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant and shall contain a statement of (i) the specific reasons for the denial of the claim, (ii) specific reference to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based, and (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such information is necessary.  The notice shall also include a statement advising the Claimant that, within 60 days of the date on which he receives such notice, he may obtain review of such decision in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth.  Within such 60‐day period, the Claimant or his authorized representative may request that the claim denial be reviewed by filing with the Committee a written request therefor, which request shall contain the following information:

(b)    the specific portions of the denial of his claim which the Claimant requests the Committee to review;
(c)    a statement by the Claimant setting forth the basis upon which he believes the Committee should reverse the previous denial of his claim for benefits and accept his claim as made; and
(d)    any written material (offered as exhibits) which the Claimant desires the Committee to examine in its consideration of his position as stated pursuant to Section 12.6(c).
Within 60 days of the date determined pursuant to Section 12.6(a) or, if special circumstances require an extension, within 120 days of such date, the Committee shall conduct a full and fair review of the decision denying the Claimant's claim for benefits and shall render its written decision on review to the Claimant.  The Committee's decision on review shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, shall specify the reasons and Plan provisions upon which the Committee's decision was based and shall include 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 relevant to the Claimant’s claim for benefits.

For purposes of this paragraph (7), the term Compensation shall mean compensation within the meaning of Code Section 415(c)(3), as further described in Section 5.5.  The term a "Key Employee" shall also include such Employee's Beneficiary in the event of his death.

(b)    one or more plans designated from time to time by the Committee that are not part of the Required Aggregation Group but that satisfy the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 when considered with the Required Aggregation group.
(10)    "Required Aggregation Group":  The group of qualified plans of the Company consisting of:
(a)    each plan in which a Key Employee participates in the Plan Year containing the Determination Date or any of the four (4) preceding Plan Years; plus
(b)    each other plan which during such period enables a plan in which a Key Employee participates to meet the requirements of Code Sections 401(a)(4) or 410.
For purposes of this definition, the group of qualified plans of the Company shall also include any plan described in either (a) or (b) above and which has been formally terminated, ceased crediting service for benefit accruals and vesting or has been or is distributing all plan assets to participants if such plan  was maintained by the Company within the five (5) years ending on the Determination Date.
(11)    "Top‐Heavy Account Balance":  A Member's (including a Member who has received a total distribution from this Plan) or a Beneficiary's aggregate balance standing to his Account as of the Valuation Date coinciding with or 

94

immediately preceding the Determination Date; provided, however, that (i) such balance shall include the aggregate distributions made during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date (including distributions under a terminated plan which if it had not been terminated would have been included in a Required Aggregation Group); except that in the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision shall be applied by substituting "five (5) year period" for "one (1) year period" and (ii) if an Employee or former Employee has not performed any service for any Company maintaining the Plan at any time during the one (1) year period ending on the Determination Date, his Account (and/or the Account of his Beneficiary) shall not be taken into account.
(12)    "Top‐Heavy Group":  An Aggregation Group if, as of a Determination Date, the aggregate present value of accrued benefits for Key Employees in all plans in the Aggregation Group (whether Defined Benefit Plans or Defined Contribution Plans) is more than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate present value of accrued benefits for all employees in such plans.
(13)    "Top‐Heavy Plan":  See Section 14.2.
Section 14.2 Determination of Top‐Heavy Status
(a)    Except as provided in Section 14.2(b), the Plan shall be a Top‐Heavy Plan if, as of a Determination Date:
(1)    the aggregate of Top‐Heavy Account Balances for Key Employees is more than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of all Top‐Heavy Account 

95

Balances, excluding for this purpose the aggregate Top‐Heavy Account Balances of Former Employees; or
(2)    if the Plan is included in a Required Aggregation Group which is a Top‐Heavy Group.
(b)    If the Plan is included in a Permissive Aggregation Group which is not a Top‐Heavy Group, the Plan shall not be a Top‐Heavy Plan notwithstanding the fact that the Plan would otherwise be a Top‐Heavy Plan under Section 14.2(a).
Section 14.3 Top‐Heavy Plan Requirements ‐‐ If the Plan is a Top‐Heavy Plan for any Plan Year, the Plan shall then satisfy the following requirements for such Plan Year:
(a)    The minimum vesting requirement as set forth in Section 14.4.
(b)    The minimum contribution requirement as set forth in Section 14.5.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan to the contrary, however, the top‐heavy requirements of Code Section 416 and this Article XIV shall not apply in any year beginning after December 31, 2001, in which the Plan consists solely of a cash or deferred arrangement that meets the requirements of Code Section 401(k)(12) and matching contributions with respect to which the requirements of Code Section 401(m)(11) are met.
Section 14.4 Minimum Vesting Requirement ‐‐ The minimum vesting requirement is satisfied by the provisions of Article VIII.
Section 14.5 Minimum Contribution Requirement ‐‐ If the Plan is a Top‐Heavy Plan for any Plan Year:

96

(a)    Each Non‐Key Employee who is eligible to share in any Company contribution for such Plan Year and who is employed by the Company on the last day of such Plan Year shall be entitled to receive an allocation of such contribution which is at least equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of his Compensation for such Plan Year or the largest percentage of Compensation that is allocated as a Company Contribution, Eaton Retirement Contribution and/or Deferred Compensation Contribution for such Plan Year to the Account of any Key Employee, except that if the Plan is part of a Required Aggregation Group and the Plan enables a defined benefit plan included in such group to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or 410, the minimum allocation percentage shall be three percent (3%).  Any such minimum contribution shall be made without regard to whether or not the Non‐key Employee has made Regular or Deferred Contributions and to the Hours of Service of such Employee during Plan Year.  Company Matching Contributions shall be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the minimum contribution requirements of Code Section 416(c)(2) and the Plan.  The preceding sentence shall apply with respect to Matching Contributions under the Plan or, if the Plan provides that the minimum contribution requirement shall be met in another plan, 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 Code Section 401(m) of the Code.
(b)    For purposes of Section 14.5(a), contributions taken into account with respect to a Key Employee shall include like contributions under all other Defined 

97

Contribution plans in a Required Aggregation Group, excluding any such plan in the Required Aggregation Group if that plan enables a Defined Benefit Plan in such Required Aggregation Group to meet the requirements of Code Section 401(a)(4) or Code Section 410.  Moreover, Deferred Compensation Contributions on behalf of Key Employees are taken into account in determining the minimum required contribution. 
(c)    The percentage minimum contribution requirement set forth in Section 14.5(a) may be reduced in accordance with Section 14.6(b).
Section 14.6 Coordination With Other Plans
(a)    In applying this Article XIV, a Company and all Controlled Group Members shall be treated as a single employer, and the qualified plans maintained by such single employer shall be taken into account.
(b)    In the event that another Defined Contribution Plan or Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Company provides contributions or benefits on behalf of Members in this Plan, such other plan(s) shall be taken into account in determining whether this Plan satisfies Section 14.3; and, the minimum contribution required for a Non‐Key Employee in this Plan under Section 14.5 will be reduced or eliminated if the Company maintains another qualified plan under which such minimums are required to be provided.
(c)    In the event a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Company provides benefits on behalf of Members in this Plan, the provisions contained in Section 14.6(d) shall be applied in order to preclude either required duplication or inappropriate omission of minimum benefits or contributions.

98

(d)    Each Non‐Key Employee for whom a minimum contribution is required under Section 14.5 and for whom a minimum benefit is required under a Defined Benefit Plan maintained by the Company shall be provided with the minimum benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan(s), provided that such benefit shall be reduced by an amount (but such reduction shall not result in a minimum benefit of less than zero) of benefits which (if the benefits provided under this Plan were converted to a benefit under the Defined Benefit Plan(s)) is the actuarial equivalent of the benefits provided by the vested portion of the Non‐Key Employee's account balance (including any prior distributions or withdrawals therefrom) in this Plan determined as of the Determination Date of the Plan Year for which the minimum benefit is to be provided and shall not be provided with such minimum contribution under this Plan.
Section 14.7 Actuarial Assumptions ‐‐ For purposes of this Article, the actuarial assumptions which shall be used are those that are set forth in the Pension Plan.
Section 14.8 Construction ‐‐ The term "present value of accrued benefits" as used in this Article shall in all appropriate cases include account balances of affected Employees.
ARTICLE XV. ESOP PROVISIONS
Section 15.1 ESOP Feature ‐‐ The portion of the Plan that constitutes an employee stock ownership plan within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code is that portion of the assets of the Plan that is from time to time invested in the Eaton Shares Fund.  The ESOP Feature, which is a stock bonus plan, is hereby formally 

99

designated as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  The ESOP Feature is designed to invest primarily in securities that are "qualifying employer securities" within the meaning of Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA and that are "qualifying employer securities" within the meaning of Code Section 4975(e)(7)(A).
Section 15.2 Borrowing to Purchase Eaton Shares ‐‐ The Company may direct the Trustee to incur Acquisition Loans from time to time to finance the purchase of Eaton Shares or to repay prior loans.  The terms and conditions of any Acquisition Loan together with any other documents executed by the Trustee in connection therewith (including without limitation any security or guarantee agreements) shall be subject to the following provisions:
(a)    The Acquisition Loan shall bear no more than a reasonable rate of interest.
(b)    Any collateral pledged to the creditor shall consist only of the Eaton Shares acquired with the proceeds of such Acquisition Loan or Eaton Shares that were pledged as collateral in connection with a prior Acquisition Loan that was repaid with the proceeds of the current Acquisition Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may guarantee repayment of the Acquisition Loan.
(c)    Under the terms of the Acquisition Loan or other documents executed by the Trustee in connection therewith, the creditor shall not have recourse against the assets of the Trust Fund except that an Acquisition Loan may permit recourse with respect to (1) the collateral pledged as security for the Acquisition Loan, (2) Company Contributions (other than Contributions of Eaton Shares) that are made to 

100

meet the Trustee's obligations under the Acquisition Loan, and (3) earnings attributable to such collateral and the investment of such Contributions.
(d)    The note or any security agreements executed by the Trustee in connection with the Acquisition Loan shall provide for the release of Eaton Shares from encumbrance in a manner permitted by Treasury Regulations under Code Section 4975(e)(7).
(e)    The note or any security agreements executed by the Trustee in connection with the Acquisition Loan shall provide that in the event of default under such Acquisition Loan, the value of the assets of the Plan, if any, transferred in satisfaction of such obligation must not exceed the amount of such default.  If the lender is a "disqualified person" (within the meaning of ERISA), such documents executed in connection with the Acquisition Loan must provide for the transfer of such assets only upon and to the extent of the failure of the Trustee to meet the payment schedule of the Acquisition Loan.  For purposes of applying this Section 15.2(e), a guarantee of the Acquisition Loan by a disqualified person shall not alone result in such person being a "lender" of such loan.
(f)    Payments made by the Trustee from the Trust Fund with respect to an Acquisition Loan during a Plan Year shall not exceed the sum of (l) Company Contributions (other than Contributions of Eaton Shares) to the Trust Fund for the Plan Year and each prior Plan Year to meet its obligations under such Acquisition Loan and the earnings attributable to the investment of such Contributions and (2) earnings (including dividends) attributable to allocated and unallocated Eaton Shares reduced by 

101

(3) payments made under such Acquisition Loan in prior Plan Years, and increased by (4) the proceeds of any sale of Eaton Shares held in the Suspense Account used to make payments on such Acquisition Loan.  Such Contributions and earnings shall be accounted for separately in the books of account of the ESOP Feature of the Plan until the Acquisition Loan is repaid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the date of termination of the Plan, the Trustee remains indebted under any Acquisition Loan, the Committee may instruct the Trustee, prior to making the final Plan allocations, to pay accrued interest and principal and to prepay the remaining principal balance of the Acquisition Loan with Eaton Shares held in the Suspense Account or with the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of such Eaton Shares.  If any assets remain in the Suspense Account after all Acquisition Loans have been fully discharged, such assets shall be allocated as income of the Trust Fund for the Plan Year in which the Plan terminates.
Section 15.3 Release of Shares from Suspense Accounts
(a)    The Committee will direct the Trustee to establish a separate Suspense Account for Eaton Shares acquired with the proceeds of each Acquisition Loan.  For each ESOP Allocation Period for which Company ESOP Contributions are made the Committee will direct the Trustee to release Eaton Shares then held in a Suspense Account for allocation to Members' Accounts.  The amount of Eaton Shares to be released for each ESOP Allocation Period shall be determined by the Committee, provided that as of the last day of each Plan Year the amount of Eaton Shares released during the Plan Year shall equal the amount required to be released pursuant to the 

102

provisions of Section 15.3(b) or (c), and provided further that if principal or interest of an Acquisition Loan for a Plan Year is repaid with the proceeds of another Acquisition Loan, the amount required to be released for the Plan Year pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(b) or (c) shall be determined by treating the Acquisition Loans as a single loan and by determining the amount of principal and interest payments under the single loan without regard to principal and interest of any Acquisition Loan repaid with the proceeds of another Acquisition Loan.
(b)    For each ESOP Allocation Period, and in any event no later than the last day of a Plan Year, a fractional part of the Eaton Shares (representing a portion of the Eaton Shares) then held in a Suspense Account will be released for allocation to Members' Accounts.  The numerator of the fraction will be the amount of principal and interest payments under the applicable Acquisition Loan made during that ESOP Allocation Period, and the denominator of the fraction will be the sum of (i) the numerator and (ii) the principal and interest to be paid under the Acquisition Loan for all future ESOP Allocation Periods without regard to any possible extensions or renewals.  If the interest rate under an Acquisition Loan is variable, the calculation of the interest to be paid in future ESOP Allocation Periods for the denominator of the fraction will be based on the interest rate in effect at the end of the ESOP Allocation Periods.  The fraction shall be multiplied by the sum of the number of Shares held in a Suspense Account as of the last day of such Plan Year plus the aggregate number of shares provisionally released pursuant to Section 15.3(a) during such Plan Year.  If the result exceeds the number of shares released during the Plan Year pursuant to Section 15.3

103

(a), an additional number of shares equal to such difference shall be released from the Suspense Account for such Plan Year and allocated to Members' Company Contribution Accounts.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a Plan Year the Committee in its discretion may release Eaton Shares from a Suspense Account solely with reference to principal payments made under an Acquisition Loan, if (i) this method of release is consistent with the terms of the Acquisition Loan; (ii) the Acquisition Loan provides for annual payments of principal and interest at a cumulative rate that is not less rapid at any time than level annual payments of such amounts for ten years; and (iii) the interest portion of any annual payment would be determined to be interest under standard loan amortization tables.  If an Acquisition Loan is renewed, extended or refinanced, and the sum of (A) the expired duration of the original loan and (B) the renewal period, extension period or the duration of the new Acquisition Loan, whichever applies, exceeds ten years, then Eaton Shares held in the Suspense Account will thereafter be released with reference to principal and interest payments in the manner set forth in Section 15.3(b).
(d)    Any dividends (other than shares dividends) on Eaton Shares in a Suspense Account or on Eaton Shares (whether or not purchased with an Acquisition Loan) allocated to Company Contribution Accounts will be accounted for separately from other assets of the Trust Fund and will be used to pay interest and/or principal under Acquisition Loans until all such indebtedness has been retired.  For purposes of allocating to Accounts Eaton Shares which have been released from a Suspense 

104

Account by reason of the payment of principal and/or interest with such dividends on allocated Eaton Shares, the dividends will be deemed to have been allocated first to Accounts as Trust Fund income under Section 7.1 and then charged to the Accounts in the manner provided in Section 6.4.
(e)    The interest of each Member in Eaton Shares released from a Suspense Account pursuant to Section 15.3(b) or (c) will be allocated to his Company Contribution Account in Eaton Shares and invested in the Eaton Shares Fund in the manner specified in Sections 15.3(f), (g), and (h) (as applicable).
(f)    As soon as practicable following the release of Eaton Shares from a Suspense Account as a result of a loan amortization payment made in whole or in part with cash dividends on Eaton Shares held in Company Contribution Accounts (the "Allocated Dividends"), a portion of the total number of shares so released shall be transferred and allocated to the Company Contribution Accounts as provided in this Section 15.3(f).  The total number of shares released on account of the loan amortization payment shall be multiplied by a fraction.  The numerator of the fraction shall be the sum of (a) the amount of the Allocated Dividends and (b) the cash dividends on Eaton Shares held in the Suspense Account (the "Unallocated Dividends") and used to make the loan amortization payment.  The denominator of the fraction shall be the fair market value of the total number of shares released as a result of the loan amortization payment.  The number of released shares which is the product of such fraction shall first be transferred and allocated among the Members' or former Members' Accounts in the same proportion that each Member's or former Members' Allocated 

105

Dividends used to make the loan amortization payment bears to the total amount of such Allocated Dividends until the fair market value of the Eaton Shares transferred and allocated to such Members' or former Members' Accounts equals the amount of Allocated Dividends; provided, however, that notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Section 15.3(f), the amount of Allocated Dividends used to make a loan amortization payment shall not exceed the fair market value of the Eaton Shares transferred and allocated to such Members' or former Members' Accounts as a result of such payment.  The balance of such released shares, if any (after the application of this Section 15.3(f)), shall be allocated among the Members' Accounts pursuant to Section 15.3(g).
(g)    As soon as practicable following the end of each ESOP Allocation Period, all Eaton Shares that have been released from the Suspense Account as a result of loan amortization payments during such ESOP Allocation Period that have not and will not be transferred pursuant to Section 15.3(f) shall be transferred to the Company Contribution Accounts of Members pursuant to this Section 15.3(g).  Such Shares shall be allocated and credited as instructed by the Committee to the Account of each Member who makes Matched Regular Contributions and/or Matched Deferred Compensation Contributions with each Member receiving a portion of such Shares determined by multiplying the number of such released Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of the Matched Regular Contributions and Matched Deferred Compensation Contributions of the Member made for such ESOP Allocation Period, and the denominator of which is the total of all such Matched Regular 

106

Contributions and Matched Deferred Compensation Contributions made by all Members for such ESOP Allocation Period; provided, however, that the number of Eaton Shares that are so allocated and credited for any ESOP Allocation Period shall not exceed the dollar amount of the Company Matching Contributions required to be made to such Member's Account under Section 5.3(b) in the absence of this Section 15.4(g) for such ESOP Allocation Period divided by the fair market value of Eaton Shares at the time of transfer to the Company Contribution Account of such Member.  The balance of released shares (if any after the application of this Section 15.4(g)), shall be allocated among the Members' Accounts pursuant to Section 15.4(h).
(h)    As of the last day of each Plan Year, any balance of released shares referred to in the last sentence of Section 15.4(g), shall be allocated and credited as instructed by the Committee to the Account of each Member who was eligible to make Deferred Compensation Contributions at any time during that Plan Year in the same proportion as the Compensation of each such Member for that Plan Year bears to the aggregate Compensation of all such Members for such Plan Year.
Section 15.4 Members Right to Diversify ‐‐ Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, a Member who has attained age 55 and completed at least ten (10) years of participation in the Plan may elect, following the end of each Plan Year during the Election Period (as defined below), to diversify to Funds (other than the Eaton Shares Fund) a portion of his Company Contribution Account balance equal to twenty‐five percent (25%) of his Company Contribution Account attributable to Company Contributions and earnings thereon, less the amounts subject to all prior 

107

elections under this Section 15.4, and less the amount available for transfer under Section 6.3, but not less than zero.  With respect to the last Plan Year during the Election Period, the Member may elect to diversify to Funds (other than the Eaton Shares Fund) fifty percent (50%) of his Company Contribution Account balance attributable to Company Contributions and earnings thereon, less the amount subject to all prior elections under this Section 15.4, and less the amount available for reallocation under Section 6.3 but not less than zero.  The "Election Period" for purposes of this Section 15.4 will be the six (6) Plan Year period beginning with the later of (i) the first Plan Year in which the Member attains age 55 or (ii) the first Plan Year in which the Member completes ten years of participation in the Plan.  If a Member elects to receive a distribution under this Section 15.4, the amount distributable will be determined without regard to the provisions of Section 6.3, and distribution will be made in a single lump sum in cash and in whole Eaton Shares to the extent his Accounts are then invested in the Eaton Shares Fund, as elected by the Member.  Any diversification or distribution hereunder shall be made effective as soon as practicable following the Member's election.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of a Member's Account attributable to Company Matching Contributions under Section 5.3(b) (and the earnings thereon) with respect to Compensation paid (or that in the absence of the Plan would be paid) after December 31, 2001 shall not be distributable under this Section 15.4 unless the Member is at least 59-1/2 years old, and allocations to a Member under Section 15.3(g) with respect to ESOP Allocation Periods ending after December 31, 

108

2001 shall not be distributable under this Section 15.4 unless the Member is at least 59-1/2 years old.
Section 15.5 Appraisal Requirement If Employer Securities Not Readily Tradable ‐‐ All valuations of any employer securities subject to the ESOP Feature that are not readily tradable on an established securities market with respect to activities carried on by the Plan shall be by an independent appraiser as required by Code Section 401(a)(28)(C).
Section 15.6 Voting Rights ‐‐ All voting rights on Eaton Shares held in the Eaton Shares Fund shall be exercised by the Trustee only as directed by the Members acting in their capacity as "Named Fiduciaries" (as defined in Section 402 of ERISA) with respect to both allocated (whether provisionally or permanently) and (based on Eaton Shares attributable to Company Contributions allocated to their Accounts) unallocated shares in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement.
Section 15.7 Tenders and Exchanges ‐‐ All tender or exchange decisions with respect to Eaton Shares held in the Eaton Shares Fund shall be made only by the Members acting in their capacity as Named Fiduciaries with respect to both allocated (whether provisionally or permanently) and (based on any Eaton Shares attributable to Company Contributions and allocated to such Members' Accounts) unallocated shares in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Agreement.
Section 15.8 Distribution of Company Contributions ‐‐ Notwithstanding the provisions of Article XI, if the Member consents, distribution of the portion of a Member's Company Contribution Account attributable to Company 

109

Contributions and earnings thereon shall be made in accordance with the following rules:
(i)    the distribution shall commence not later than one (l) year after the close of the Plan Year:
(x)    in which the Member's employment is terminated by reason of his Retirement, Disability or death, or
(y)    which is the fifth (5th) Plan Year following the Plan Year in which the Member's employment is terminated other than by Retirement, Disability or death, unless the Member is reemployed by the Company before such Year; and 
(ii)    the distribution shall be in substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) over a period not longer than the greater of
(x)    five (5) years, or
(y)    in the case of a Member whose Company Contribution Account balance attributable to Company Contributions and earnings thereon is in excess of $500,000, five (5) years plus one (1) additional year (but not more than five (5) additional years) for each $100,000 or fraction thereof by which such balance exceeds $500,000.
For purposes of this Section 15.8, if Eaton Shares acquired with the proceeds of an Acquisition Loan are credited to a Member's Account, the distribution rules of this Section 15.8 shall not apply to those Shares (unless the Committee 

110

determines otherwise) until one (1) year after the last day of the Plan Year in which that Acquisition Loan has been repaid in full.
Section 15.9 Rights to Put Eaton Shares
(a)    If Eaton Shares distributable to a Member or his Beneficiary are, at the time of the distribution, not publicly traded or are then subject to a trading limitation, the Member or Beneficiary will have an option (the "Put") to require the Company to purchase all of the shares actually distributed to him or his Beneficiary.  A "trading limitation" is a restriction under any federal or state securities law, or applicable regulation, or an agreement, which would make the Eaton Shares not as freely tradable as Eaton Shares not subject to the restriction.  The Put may be exercised at any time during the Option Period (as defined below) by giving the Company written notice of the election to exercise the Put.  The Put may be exercised by a former Member or the Beneficiary only during the Option Period in which the former Member or Beneficiary receives a distribution of Eaton Shares.
(b)    The "Option Period" is the sixty (60) day period following the day on which a Member or his Beneficiary receives a distribution.  If the former Member or Beneficiary does not exercise the Put during that sixty (60) day period, the Option Period will also be the sixty (60) day period beginning on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the day on which the former Member or his Beneficiary receives a distribution.  The Option Period will be extended by the amount of time during which the Company is unable to honor the Put by reason of applicable federal or state law.

111

(c)    The "Option Price" will be the fair market value of each Eaton Share as of the Valuation Date immediately preceding the date the Put is exercised, multiplied by the number of Shares to be sold under the Put, with appropriate adjustments to reflect intervening shares dividends, shares splits, shares redemptions, or similar changes to the number of outstanding shares.  The Option Price will be payable in cash and/or in installments beginning not later than thirty (30) days after the Company receives written notice of the election by the former Member or Beneficiary to exercise the Put.
(d)    If the distribution of Eaton Shares to the Member or his Beneficiary constituted a distribution within one (1) taxable year of the balance to the credit of the Member's Account, the Company reserves the right to establish guidelines to be exercised in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner to make payment for the shares subject to the Put on an installment basis in substantially equal annual, quarterly or monthly payments over a period not to exceed five years.  The Company will pay reasonable interest at least annually on the unpaid balance of the Option Price and will provide to the Member or his Beneficiary adequate security with respect to the unpaid balance.
(e)    The Put will not be assignable, except that the former Member's donees or, in the event of a Member's death, his personal representative, will be entitled to exercise the Put during the Option Period for which it is applicable.
(f)    The Trustee in its discretion may, with the Company's consent, assume the Company's obligation under this Section at the time a former Member or 

112

Beneficiary exercise the Put.  If the Trustee does assume the Company's obligations, the provisions of this Section that apply to the Company will also apply to the Trustee.
(g)    The Put will also apply to Eaton Shares that are publicly traded without restriction when distributed but which cease to be publicly traded or which become subject to a trading limitation during the Option Period.  In that event, the Committee will notify in writing each former Member or Beneficiary to whom the Put becomes applicable that the Eaton Shares held by the former Member or Beneficiary are subject to the Put for the remainder of the applicable Option Period and will inform the Member or Beneficiary of the terms of the Put.  If the written notice is given later than ten days after the Eaton Shares cease to be publicly traded or become subject to a trading limitation, the period during which the Put may be exercised will be extended by the number of days between the tenth day and the date the notice is actually given.
(h)    The Committee will notify each former Member or Beneficiary who is eligible to exercise the Put of the fair market value of each Eaton Share as soon as practicable following its determination.  The Committee and the Company will send all notices required under this Section 15.9 to the last known address of a former Member or Beneficiary, and it will be the duty of those persons to inform the Committee of any changes in address.
(i)    The provisions of this Section 15.9 will continue to apply to Eaton Shares distributable under the Plan after the ESOP Feature ceases to constitute an "employee stock ownership plan" under Code Section 4975(e)(7).

113

Section 15.10 Restrictions on Transfer of Eaton Shares ‐‐ Except as otherwise provided in this Article XV, Eaton Shares acquired through an Acquisition Loan will not be subject to a Put, call, or other option, or buy‐sell or similar arrangement while held under the Plan or when distributed from the Plan to a Member or Beneficiary, whether or not the ESOP Feature then constitutes an "employee stock ownership plan" under Code Section 4975(e)(7).  The provisions of the preceding sentence and of this Section 15.10 will continue to apply to Eaton Shares acquired through an Acquisition Loan after the loan has been satisfied and after the ESOP Feature ceases to constitute an "employee stock ownership plan" under Code Section 4975(e)(7).  
ARTICLE XVI. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
All administrative costs, management fees and transaction costs and expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Trustee from the Trust unless such costs, fees and expenses are paid by the Company.  In accordance with procedures established by the Committee, administrative expenses attributable to the individual Account(s) of a Member or Beneficiary may be charged specifically to that Member's or Beneficiary's Account(s).
ARTICLE XVII. NON‐ALIENATION OF BENEFITS
Except as provided in a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Code Section 414(p), and to the extent permitted by law, no benefit payable under the provisions of the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge and any attempt to do so shall be void; nor shall benefits be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, 

114

liabilities, engagements or torts of any Member or Beneficiary except as may be specifically provided in the Plan.
ARTICLE XVIII. NOTICES

Section 21.4 Rights Relating to the Trust ‐‐ No Employee, Member, Beneficiary or other person shall have any interest in or right to any part of the corpus, income or earnings of the Trust Fund or any part of the assets of the Plan except as and only to the extent provided by the terms of the Plan.
Section 21.5 Limitation on Participation by Persons in Foreign Countries ‐‐ A person employed in a foreign country shall not be eligible to participate in the Plan if his participation would result in legal, administrative, financial or other difficulties under local laws, regulations or other restrictions, as determined by Eaton under rules uniformly applicable to all persons similarly situated.  Contributions or benefits for individuals who are citizens of the United States and employees of a foreign or domestic subsidiary of Eaton may be provided for such individuals consistent with Code Sections 406 and/or 407 pursuant to appropriate action by Eaton and such subsidiary.
Section 21.6 Uniformed Services ‐‐ Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Code Section 414(u).

138

If a Member who is absent from employment as an Employee because of military service dies after December 31, 2006, while performing qualified military service (as defined in Code Section 414(u)), the Member shall be treated as having returned to employment as an Employee on the day immediately preceding his death for purposes of determining the Member's vested interest in his Accounts and his Beneficiary's eligibility for a death benefit under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in the Plan, such a Member shall not be entitled to additional contributions with respect to his period of military leave.
Section 21.7 Profit‐Sharing Plan Feature ‐‐ The portion of the Plan that is not the ESOP Feature is intended to be and shall be a profit‐sharing plan for all purposes of the Code, ERISA, and any other relevant purpose, notwithstanding that contributions may or may not be made without regard to current or accumulated profits of the employer or without regard to whether contributions may be discretionary.
Section 21.8 Miscellaneous Investment Proceeds ‐‐ Any funds received by the Plan that do not relate to investments held under the Plan for current Participants but instead relate to investments held previously under the Plan or any plan merged with the Plan for former participants whose benefits have been fully distributed shall be held in a separate account under the Plan and shall be applied in the manner permitted for forfeitures, if any, to pay Plan administrative expenses or to offset Company Matching Contributions otherwise owed to the Plan by the Company, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

139

Section 21.9 Election of Former Vesting Schedule ‐‐ If there is an amendment to the vesting schedule applicable to a Member's Account because the Company adopts an amendment to the Plan that directly or indirectly affects the computation of a Member's vested interest in his Account, the following special rules shall apply:
(a)    In no event shall a Member's vested interest in his Account accrued as of the later of (i) the effective date of such amendment or (ii) the date such amendment is adopted, be less than his vested interest in his Account immediately prior to such date.
(b)    In no event shall a Member's vested interest in his Account accrued as of the later of (i) the effective date of such amendment or (ii) the date such amendment is adopted, be determined on and after the effective date of such amendment under a vesting schedule that is more restrictive than the vesting schedule applicable to such Account immediately prior to the effective date of such amendment.
(c)    Any Member with three or more years of vesting service shall have a right to have his vested interest in his Account (including amounts accrued following the effective date of such amendment) continue to be determined under the vesting provisions in effect prior to the amendment rather than under the new vesting provisions, unless the vested interest of the Member in his Account under the Plan as amended is not at any time less than such vested interest determined without regard to the amendment.  A Member shall exercise his right under this Section by giving written notice of his exercise thereof to the Committee within 60 days after the latest of (i) the 

140

date he receives notice of the amendment from the Committee, (ii) the effective date of the amendment, or (iii) the date the amendment is adopted.
Section 21.10 Issuance of Eaton Shares -- Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, (a) Eaton Corporation plc shall not be obliged to issue any shares unless at least the par value or nominal value of such newly issued share has been fully paid in advance in accordance with applicable law and (b) Eaton Corporation plc shall not be obliged to issue or deliver any shares until all legal and regulatory requirements associated with such issue or delivery have been complied with to the satisfaction of the Committee.
Section 21.11 Leased Employee -- Any leased employee, other than an excludable leased employee, shall be treated as an employee of the Company for which he performs services for all purposes of the Plan with respect to the provisions of Sections 401(a)(3), (4), (7), and (16), and 408(k), 408(p), 410, 411, 415, and 416 of the Code; provided, however, that no leased employee shall accrue a benefit hereunder based on service as a leased employee except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan.  A "leased employee" means any person who performs services for the Company or a Controlled Group Member (the "recipient") (other than an employee of the recipient) pursuant to an agreement between the recipient and any other person (the "leasing organization") on a substantially full-time basis for a period of at least one year, provided that such services are performed under primary direction or control by the recipient.  An "excludable leased employee" means any leased employee of the recipient who is covered by a money purchase pension plan maintained by the leasing organization 

141

which provides for (i) a nonintegrated employer contribution on behalf of each participant in the plan equal to at least ten percent of compensation (as referenced in Section 5.7), (ii) full and immediate vesting, and (iii) immediate participation by employees of the leasing organization (other than employees who perform substantially all of their services for the leasing organization or whose compensation from the leasing organization in each plan year during the four-year period ending with the plan year is less than $1,000); provided, however, that leased employees do not constitute more than 20 percent of the recipient's nonhighly compensated work force.  For purposes of this Section 21.11, contributions or benefits provided to a leased employee by the leasing organization that are attributable to services performed for the recipient shall be treated as provided by the recipient.
Section 21.12 Applicable Law and Forum Selection -- Except to the extent governed by Federal law, the Plan shall be administered and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio.  Any proceeding arising out of or relating to the Plan shall be adjudicated in the federal courts for the Northern District of Ohio or in the courts of the State of Ohio located in the district embraced by the federal courts for the Northern District of Ohio.
Section 21.13 Correction of Plan Failures -- The Company may correct any error as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, as provided by IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System, as amended from time to time.

142

ARTICLE XXII. TRANSFER OF FUNDS; ROLLOVERS
Section 22.1 Transfer from Other Qualified Plans ‐‐ With Eaton's consent (by action of the Committee) a company may cause to be transferred to the Trustee all or any of the assets held in respect of any other plan or trust which satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code relating to qualified plans and trusts which is maintained by a company for the benefit of its common‐law employees.  Any assets transferred to the Plan shall be accompanied by written instructions from the company, or the trustee or custodian holding such assets, setting forth the employees for whose benefit such assets have been transferred and showing separately the respective contributions by the company and by the employees and the current values of the assets attributable thereto.  Upon receipt of such assets and instructions the Trustee shall thereafter proceed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.
Section 22.2 Transfer to Other Qualified Plans ‐‐ Subject to Article XX, with Eaton's consent (by action of the Committee) a Company by written direction to the Trustee may transfer some or all of the assets held under the Plan to another plan or trust meeting the requirements of the Code relating to qualified plans and trusts.  Upon receipt of such written direction the Trustee shall cause to be transferred the assets so directed.
Section 22.3 Rollover Contributions -- An Employee eligible to participate in the Plan, regardless of whether he has satisfied the eligibility requirements of the Plan, may elect to make a Rollover Contribution to the Plan by submitting to the Company or its designee a request at such time(s), in such form, and in such manner 

143

as the Company shall prescribe.  The Employee shall deposit or cause to be deposited such Rollover Contribution with the Trustee.  "Rollover Contribution" shall mean participant rollover contributions and/or direct rollovers of distributions as permitted under Code Section 402(c), Code Section 403(a)(4), or Section 408(d)(3)(A) from the following types of plans:
(1)    The Plan will accept a direct rollover of an eligible rollover distribution from (a) a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or Section 403(a), (b) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b), and (c) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
(2)    The Plan will accept a participant contribution of an eligible rollover distribution from (a) a qualified plan described in Code Section 401(a) or Section 403(a), (b) an annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) and (c) an eligible plan under Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state.
(3)    The Plan will accept a participant rollover contribution of the portion of a distribution from an individual retirement account or annuity described in Code Section 408(a) or Section 408(b) that is eligible to be rolled over and would otherwise be includible in gross income.  

144

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Rollover Contribution shall not include and the Plan will not accept any of the following: 
(1)    A transfer of "accumulated deductible employee contributions" within the meaning of Code Section 72(o)(5).
(2)    Designated Roth contributions as described in Code Section 402A.  Any Rollover Contribution from an individual retirement account shall be limited to individual retirement accounts which contain only amounts rolled over into such individual retirement account from another qualified plan plus the income and gains thereon.
Moreover, any Member who is a former Employee who accrued a benefit under the Pension Plan for Eaton Corporation Employees (the "Pension Plan") may in the same manner elect to make a Rollover Contribution of any portion of his distribution from the Pension Plan which constitutes an "eligible rollover distribution" within the meaning of Code Section 402(c)(4).
The Company may require an Employee or Former Employee to provide it or its designee with such information as it deems necessary or desirable to show that the requested Rollover Contribution qualifies as a contribution that may be rolled over to a qualified plan.  In the event an Employee or former Employee makes a Rollover Contribution, such Rollover Contribution shall become part of the Fund and it shall be maintained in a separate, fully‐vested account, which shall be separate from the other Accounts for such Employee or former Employee.  If an Employee elects to roll over amounts attributable to after-tax employee contributions, such amounts shall be 

145

accounted for separately from other Rollover Contributions and shall be maintained in accounts reflecting that portion of the Employee's after-tax Rollover Contribution that is includible in gross income and that portion that is not includible in gross income.  Such Rollover Account shall be invested as directed by the Employee or former Employee in the same manner, but pursuant to a separate election, as a Regular Account and Regular Contributions in accordance with Article VI.  The adjustment of Accounts made pursuant hereto shall be made separately with respect to a Member's Rollover Contribution account and his other Accounts.
ARTICLE XXIII. SAVINGS PLAN INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT
Section 23.1 Definitions ‐‐ For purposes of this Article XXIII, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings stated below unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context.  Definitions in Section 2.1 of the Plan shall also apply where required by the context.
(i)    "Participant" means each person who made the contributions described in Section 23.2 under the terms of the Plan as in effect at the relevant times.
(ii)    "Voluntary Deductible Account" means the Participant's voluntary contributions to the Plan which were deductible by the participant for Federal income tax purposes, and the income, losses, appreciation and depreciation attributable to such contributions.
Section 23.2 Deductible Employee Contributions ‐‐ Prior to December 31, 1986 a Participant could make voluntary contributions which were deductible by the Participant for Federal income tax purposes.  Each such contribution 

146

was paid in cash by the Participant to the Company in such manner and at such times as the Committee determined (including payments by means of payroll deductions), and no later than the end of the taxable year of the Participant who made such contributions, provided that such deadline could be extended until March 15 of the following calendar year (or until April 15, if required by Internal Revenue Service Regulations), if the Committee elected to have Code Section 219(f)(3)(B) apply.  The Company transmitted deductible voluntary contributions received by it to the Trust for crediting to Voluntary Deductible Accounts.  Such amounts were credited to the Voluntary Deductible Accounts of Participants in accordance with the certification of the Committee as to the names of the contributing Participants and the amounts contributed by each Participant.
The contributions by a Participant to his Voluntary Deductible Account with respect to any one taxable year of such Participant to this Plan and all other qualified plans (including individual retirement accounts) could not exceed the lesser of:
(i)    $2,000.00, or
(ii)    100% of his compensation (as defined in Code Section 219(f)(1) and in Internal Revenue Service Regulations) for such taxable year.
No contributions could be made by a Participant to his Voluntary Deductible Account with respect to the taxable year of the Participant during which he attained age 70 1/2 and the taxable years thereafter or after December 31, 1986.
Section 23.3 Irrevocable Election of Deductible Contributions ‐‐ Each Participant who made a contribution described in Section 23.2 was deemed to have also elected to have his contribution treated as a qualified voluntary employee 

147

contribution deductible by him as a retirement savings contribution under Code Section 219(a).  Such election shall be irrevocable from and after the date each contribution was made by the Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither any Company, the Investment Committee, the Committee, the Trustee, nor the Plan assumes any responsibility for the income tax treatment of any contributions described in Section 23.2, as deductibility of such contributions depends on employee circumstances extraneous to the Plan, including but not limited to employee participation in retirement savings programs unrelated to any of the Company's programs.  All deductible voluntary contributions by a Participant that exceeded the limits set forth in Section 23.2 shall be returned to the Participant.
Section 23.4 Valuation of Voluntary Deductible Account; Records ‐‐  Voluntary Deductible Accounts shall be subject to the provisions of Article VII.
Section 23.5 Investment of Voluntary Deductible Accounts ‐‐ Voluntary Deductible Accounts shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan pertaining to investments in the same manner as Accounts attributable to Regular Contributions and Deferred Compensation Contributions.
Section 23.6 Withdrawals from Voluntary Deductible Account
(a)    Ordinarily, no distributions may be made to a Participant from his Voluntary Deductible Account prior to the date on which he becomes age 59‐1/2, except that distribution of all or a part of a Participant's Voluntary Deductible Account may be made prior to a Participant's becoming age 59‐1/2 on account of the Participant's death, disability within the meaning of the Code Section 72(m)(7) and Regulations pursuant 

148

thereto, or separation from service, and except that a Participant may by notice to the Committee withdraw all or a part of his Voluntary Deductible Account.  All distributions and withdrawals from Voluntary Deductible Accounts shall comply with the terms for such distributions and withdrawals set by the Committee.  Any balance of a Participant's Voluntary Deductible Account not previously withdrawn shall, upon notice to the Committee by the Participant, be paid to the Participant following his separation from service or, in the event of his death, to his Beneficiary in the same manner as other amounts payable upon those events.
(b)    No portion of a Participant's Voluntary Deductible Account shall be assigned, pledged as security for a loan, loaned to a Participant, or applied toward the purchase of life insurance.
(c)    All or any portion of a Participant's Voluntary Deductible Account (including any portion thereof attributable to a transfer of "accumulated deductible employee contributions," as defined below) may be transferred, at the election of a Participant, to any other plan or trust or individual retirement plan which satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code and Internal Revenue Service Regulations relating to acceptance of "accumulated deductible employee contributions."  A Participant may not make such election with respect to his Voluntary Deductible Account if he has made another such election with respect to his Voluntary Deductible Account within the preceding 12 months.
(d)    A Participant may request the Committee in writing to allow a transfer into his Voluntary Deductible Account of any amount or amounts that constitute 

149

"accumulated deductible employee contributions," within the meaning of Code Section 72(o)(5).  The Committee shall determine on a non‐discriminatory basis whether or not such transfer shall be allowed.  Any such written request may be made only once within a 12‐month period, and shall set forth the proposed transfer amount and proof, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer constitutes a transfer of "accumulated deductible employee contributions."  Any such transfer shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Code and Internal Revenue Service Regulations.  Any such transfers shall be treated as accumulated contributions to a Participant's Voluntary Deductible Account.
Section 23.7 Administrative Costs ‐‐ Brokerage fees, commissions, transfer taxes and administrative costs and expenses of Voluntary Deductible Accounts shall be borne by such Accounts unless paid by the Company.
ARTICLE XXIV. EFFECTIVE DATES
Section 24.1 General ‐‐ Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, this amendment and restatement of the Plan is effective beginning January 1, 2014.  Unless and to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this amendment and restatement of the Plan, no provision of this amendment and restatement of the Plan shall be construed to expand the definition of eligible employees, change accrued benefits, or otherwise change any substantive provision of the Plan as in effect prior to January 1, 2014, with respect to periods prior to January 1, 2014.  The provisions of this amendment and restatement supersede those of any prior restatement to the extent inconsistent herewith.

150

Section 24.2 Legal Compliance Effective Date Provisions  ‐‐ Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each change made to the Plan by this amendment and restatement for the purpose of satisfying a provision of (i) Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 ("EGTRRA") (with technical corrections made by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002), (ii) American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, (iii) Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005, (iv) Gulf Opportunity Zone Act of 2005, (v) Pension Protection Act of 2006 ("PPA"), (vi) U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, (vii) Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Act of 2008 ("Heart Act"), (viii) Emergency Stabilization Act of 2008, (ix) Worker, Retiree, and Employer Recovery Act of 2008 ("WRERA"), (x) any other change in the Code or ERISA, or (xi) regulations, rulings, or other published guidance issued under the Code, ERISA or the legislative enactments listed above (a "Compliance Amendment"), shall be effective as of the first date such change became required by reason of such provision and shall also be effective with respect to any plan merged into the Plan as of the first date such change became required by reason of such provision (including for periods prior to the merger date to the extent so required), and accordingly is also an amendment of any plan merged into the Plan for this purpose.  This provision shall be effective to amend any plan merged into the Plan only with respect to Compliance Amendments, and shall not be construed to expand the definition of "eligible employee," change benefit rates, or otherwise change any substantive provision of any plan merged into the Plan that is not directly affected by a Compliance Amendment prior to the 

151

merger date.  This amendment and restatement is intended as good faith compliance with the requirements of legislative enactments described above and is to be construed in accordance with guidance issued thereunder.
