become null and void on [DATE].

 

5.       Exercisability.

vested and is in effect on the date of such termination of the Grantee’s employment.

 

(b)       To
the extent exercisable, the Option may be exercised by a legal representative on behalf of the Grantee in the event of such permanent
disability, or, in the case of the death of the Grantee, by the estate of the Grantee or by any person or persons who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of the Grantee.

 

6.       Manner
of Exercise. (a) Subject to Section 7(h) of the Plan, the Option may be exercised in full at one time or in part from time

to the Company, stating the number of Optioned Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the date of exercise
thereof, which date shall be at least five days after the giving of such notice.

Company shall be under no obligation to issue any Optioned Shares unless the person exercising the Option, in whole or in part,
shall give a written representation and undertaking to the Company which is satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for
the Company and upon which, in the opinion of such counsel, the Company may reasonably rely, that he or she is acquiring such
Optioned Shares for his or her own account as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution
of any such Optioned Shares, and that he or she will make no transfer of the same except in compliance with any rules and regulations
in force at the time of such transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, or any other applicable law.

become null and void immediately upon the bankruptcy of the Grantee, or upon any attempted assignment or transfer except as herein
provided, including without limitation, any purported assignment, whether voluntary or by operation of law, pledge, hypothecation
or other disposition, attachment, trustee process or similar process, whether legal or equitable, upon the Option.

 

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

 

8.       No
Special Employment Rights. Neither the granting of the Option nor its exercise shall be construed to confer upon the Grantee
any right with respect to the continuation of his or her employment by the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) or interfere
in any way with the right of the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company), subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement
to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Grantee from the
rate in existence as of the date hereof.

 

9.       Tax

thereof, the sale or disposition of any Optioned Shares granted hereunder or issued upon exercise of this Option or from any other
action of the Grantee in connection with the foregoing shall be borne and paid solely by the Grantee, and the Grantee shall indemnify
the Company, and its Subsidiary Corporation and Affiliates, and shall hold them harmless against and from any liability for any
such tax or penalty, interest or indexation thereon. The Grantee agrees to, and undertakes to comply with, any ruling, settlement,
closing agreement or other similar agreement or arrangement with any tax authority in connection with the foregoing which is approved
by the Company. The Grantee is advised to consult with a tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of receiving or exercising
this Option. The Company does not assume any responsibility to advise the Grantee on such matters, which shall remain solely the
responsibility of the Grantee.

Grantee shall notify the Company in writing promptly and in any event within ten (10) days after the date on which the Grantee
first obtains knowledge of any tax bureau inquiry, audit, assertion, determination, investigation, or question relating in any
manner to the Option granted or received hereunder or Optioned Shares issued thereunder and shall continuously inform the Company
of any developments, proceedings, discussions and negotiations relating to such matter, and shall allow the Company and its representatives
to participate in any proceedings and discussions concerning such matters. Upon request, the Grantee shall provide to the Company
any information or document relating to any matter described in the preceding sentence, which the Company, in its discretion,
requires.

 

(c)       To
the extent a 102 Option Award is designated above, the Grantee declares and acknowledges: (i) that the Grantee fully understands
that Section 102 of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance and the rules and regulations enacted thereunder apply to the Options specified
in this Agreement and to the Grantee; and (ii) that the Grantee understands the provisions of Section 102, the tax track chosen

Edgar M. Purvis, Jr. 
 8000 West Florissant Ave. 

St. Louis, MO 63136 
 Dear Ed: 

On behalf of the entire Emerson organization, I want to congratulate you on your 34 years of dedicated service and thank you for your significant contributions
to the success of Emerson. This Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) sets out the terms of your retirement, including your resignation as an employee and officer of Emerson Electric Co. Throughout this Agreement, the term “Emerson”
means Emerson Electric Co. together with any and all other entities owned directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by Emerson Electric Co. Your retirement and the terms of this Agreement are effective as of December 31, 2017
(“Retirement Date”). 
 In consideration of good and valuable consideration provided to you pursuant to this Agreement, you agree as follows: 

1. NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT 

You agree that during your employment you have received and had access to Emerson’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information
(“Confidential Information”), which includes or concerns, but is not limited to, attorney/client communications, global strategic communications, information pertaining to strategic planning or other strategy, mergers and acquisitions,
corporate technology, intellectual property, customers, pricing, business methods and operations, business policies, procedures, practices and techniques, legal opinions and legal matters, research or development projects or results, sales,
finances, products, suppliers, personnel performance and compensation, plans for future development, marketing practices, market participation, market studies, and financial forecasts and budgeting. You agree that disclosure of such Confidential
Information would be detrimental to Emerson and agree that at no time following termination of your employment with Emerson will you directly or indirectly disclose or cause the disclosure of any Confidential Information to any person, firm,
corporation, or entity, no matter what the purpose. You further agree that you will not directly or indirectly disclose the terms of this Agreement to any person except as authorized specifically herein. 

The non-disclosure obligations set forth above shall not apply to the extent it is necessary for you to: report income
to taxing authorities; communicate with your attorneys or agents to obtain legal and/or financial planning advice after any such attorneys or agents bind themselves in writing to the same non-disclosure
obligations as set forth above; or, to respond to any lawfully issued subpoena or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or legitimate discovery request pursuant to state or federal rules of civil

 
procedure. If any such subpoena, order of court or discovery request is received, you agree to send to Emerson’s General Counsel no later than two days after receipt via email to
sara.bosco@emerson.com or via hand-delivery. 
 You agree also to deliver to the office of Emerson’s General Counsel within a three day period
following the Retirement Date all such Confidential Information, any other property of Emerson, and all copies thereof in your possession or control, whether in handwritten, typed, printed, graphic or electronic form (whether stored on Emerson-owned
or personally owned or used devices, including but not limited to personal computers, tablets, smart phones, memory sticks, thumb drives, or on-site or off-site storage
locations). If after such three-day period you determine that you have any Confidential Information or other property of Emerson in your possession or control, you shall immediately deliver such Confidential
Information or property to the office of Emerson’s General Counsel. You further agree to deliver your signed certification of compliance with the provisions of this paragraph promptly upon request made to you in writing by Emerson’s
General Counsel. 
 2. NON-DISPARAGEMENT AGREEMENT 

You will not individually or through third-parties make any public or private statement with respect to any aspect of your employment with Emerson, your
retirement, or the terms of this Agreement. If inquiry is made by anyone regarding your employment by, or retirement from, Emerson, you agree to state only “I will retire (or have retired) from Emerson effective December 31, 2017. I
personally decide to retire and I have enjoyed my many years with Emerson. Emerson is a tremendous company and I wish it well.” 
 You also agree that
you will not, directly or indirectly, disparage or make or cause to be made, any comments, statements, or communications of any sort to anyone—whether true or false—that may reasonably be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to
Emerson or any Released Parties (as defined in the Release Agreement attached as Exhibit A), their reputations, or their services. You acknowledge that Emerson has a good reputation locally, nationally and internationally, and you will take no
action or engage in any conduct that could injure or diminish that good reputation. 
 3.
NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION AGREEMENTS 
 You also agree that
you will not, without prior written consent from both Emerson’s Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel, directly or indirectly for a period of five years from your Retirement Date (“Restricted Period”): 

(a) enter the employ of, provide consulting services to, assist, or have any financial interest in, any person, firm, corporation, or other
entity engaged in business activities anywhere in the world that directly or indirectly competes with the businesses of Emerson as conducted on the date of this Agreement or as contemplated on the date hereof to be developed during the Restricted
Period; 
 (b) acquire in any manner any investment in, or provide services to in any capacity, any equity fund, hedge fund, or other
investment vehicle, however structured, that either directly or indirectly or through portfolio company investments or otherwise competes with the businesses of Emerson as conducted on the date hereof or as contemplated on the date hereof to be
developed during the Restrictive Period; 
 (c) assist any third party in connection with any acquisition of any business of Emerson, whether
through an acquisition or stock or assets or otherwise, or in the sale of any business to Emerson; 

  
 2 

 (d) assist any third party in connection with any attempt to assert control over or influence the
management of Emerson, whether through the acquisition or stock by such third party, addition of board members recommended by such third party, a proxy solicitation by such third party or otherwise; 

(e) accept or solicit business from or attempt to solicit or accept business from any person that is a customer of Emerson; 

(f) divert, take any action to induce, or encourage a customer of Emerson to reduce or cease doing business with Emerson; 

(g) solicit, hire, or attempt to solicit or hire any person that currently or during the Restricted Period is an employee, agent or consultant
of Emerson to leave such employment or separate his or her relationship with Emerson or induce any such person to do anything which you are restricted from doing by reason of this Agreement; or 

(h) engage in any other action that might undermine the business interests of Emerson. 

The foregoing shall not restrict you from owning not more than five percent of the securities of any competitor of Emerson that is listed on any national
securities exchange, traded over-the-counter, or that is otherwise available for investment by the general public as long as you have no relationship with the issuer of such securities or any affiliate
thereof, except as an investor. 
 4. REASONABLENESS ENFORCEABILITY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES 

You agree that the restrictions contained in Paragraph 3, including those on time and scope, are reasonable for the protection of Emerson in light of your in-depth knowledge of Emerson’s global business, your present and prior positions with Emerson, and your access to Confidential Information relating to all of Emerson’s businesses. You also affirm your
agreement to comply with all existing non-competition, invention disclosure and assignment, non-disclosure and non-solicitation
obligations you have with Emerson, including specifically your obligations under the Emerson Incentive Shares plans and related performance shares and restricted stock award agreements, and Emerson stock option plans and related option agreements,
and Emerson non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plan participation. You agree that your obligations set forth in this Agreement are in addition to and do not invalidate or supersede your
obligations under other plans, agreements or contracts unless in direct conflict, in which case the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. 
 You agree and
acknowledge that Emerson would not enter into this Agreement and provide the valuable consideration offered to you herein but for the restrictions in this Agreement. You agree that a violation of this Agreement and the other agreements referenced in
this Section 4 would result in irreparable injury to Emerson and that, in the event of a violation or a reasonably perceived threatened violation of any of the aforementioned restrictions, Emerson shall be entitled to immediate, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief which is in addition to any other remedies to which Emerson may be entitled. You further agree to reimburse Emerson for all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees Emerson incurs to seek enforcement of any
provision contained herein, whether or not litigation is commenced. 
 You agree that any breach of this Agreement will result in immediate forfeiture by
you of all payments to be made or benefits provided to you under this Agreement. You also agree as liquidated damages for any such breach to repay to Emerson one-half of the economic value of all benefits
provided to you under this Agreement prior to the date of breach. You agree that this liquidated damage provision and other remedies are necessary because substantial damage will accrue to Emerson as the result of a

  
 3 

 
breach, and the amount of damages attributable to such breach may be uncertain and difficult to calculate. Payment of liquidated damages shall in no way affect the settlement and release of
claims by you, nor shall payment of liquidated damages limit the enforceability of any clause in this Agreement or any other agreement referenced in this Section 4 or the ability of Emerson to seek damages and any other relief from you as
provided under applicable law or any agreement between you and Emerson. 
 5. RELEASE AND DISCHARGE 

You will release and discharge Emerson and its respective Directors, officers, employees and agents from any and all claims or liability of whatever nature and
will execute on your Retirement Date the Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. If the Release Agreement attached as Exhibit A is not executed by you, this Agreement shall be null and void. You also agree that no benefits or other
compensation described in this Agreement (other than the payment of your base salary described in Section 8.A. hereof, shall be paid or provided to you until expiration of the seven-day revocation period
set forth in Paragraph 3(e) of the Release Agreement. 
 6. RESIGNATIONS 

On or before the Retirement Date, you agree to execute the Officer Resignation Form attached hereto as Exhibit B. 

7. CLAWBACK 
 You agree that you will
remain subject to Emerson’s Clawback Policy, which provides: “If the Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or partially caused a material restatement of the Company’s consolidated
financial statements, the Board may, to the extent permitted by law and to the extent it determines that it is in the Company’s best interests to do so, require reimbursement to the Company of, or reduce or cancel, that portion of annual
incentive or any long-term incentive compensation paid or credited to such executive officer on or after February 1, 2015 that would not have been paid or credited had the consolidated financial statements that are the subject of such
restatement been correctly stated. For purposes of this policy, the term “executive officer” means any officer of the Company who is required to file reports pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.” 

8. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 
 Subject to
and conditioned upon your compliance with your obligations and covenants in this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between you and Emerson, you will receive the compensation and benefits outlined below. The compensation and benefits set
forth herein are in lieu of and replace any other compensation or benefits to which you may be entitled from Emerson:

Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred to the extent required by Code Section 409A. 
 J. All payments and other benefits
provided for under this Agreement, including but not limited to any performance shares program payouts, vesting of restricted stock, or shares of stock issued to you upon exercise of your stock options, will be subject to income tax and other
