 UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION 
 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 
  
 [year] RETAINER PAYMENT ELECTION FORM 
  
 I hereby elect to
receive my annual retainer for [year] of $100,000 ($110,000 for committee chairpersons, $125,000 for members of the Audit Committee, $135,000 for the Audit Committee chairperson and $135,000 for the director designated to preside at executive
sessions of the non-management Directors) in the following form: 
  

					
	 60% Tax-Deferred Stock Units and 40% Cash
	  	                ,	  	 
			
	 100% Tax-Deferred Stock Units
	  	                ,	  	 
			
	 60% Non-Qualified UTC Stock Options/40% Cash
	  	                ,	  	or
			
	 100% Non-Qualified UTC Stock Options 
	  	________ 	  	 

  
 (Please check one of
the above) 
  
 The number of Tax-Deferred Stock Units will be determined by
dividing the portion of your retainer to be paid in Stock Units (60% or 100%) by the closing price of UTC stock on the first business day of the calendar year. Fractional Stock Units will accumulate in the Director’s account. All whole or
partial Stock Units will be eligible for dividend equivalents equal to the Corporation’s declared dividend and will be credited to your account as additional Stock Units on the date the dividend is paid. 
  
 Upon retirement or termination from the Board, all Stock Units held in the Director’s
account will be payable in cash, in either a lump sum or in up to 15 annual installments. During the installment period, the balance in the Director’s account will continue to be valued as Stock Units unless the director elects to convert the
units to an interest bearing account (U.S. Treasury bill rate plus 1%). The value of the Director’s account will not be taxable until distribution. In the event of the Director’s death before distribution, account proceeds will be
distributed to the Director’s estate unless a specific beneficiary designation has been made. Stock Units will be governed by the terms and conditions of the Director’s Deferred Stock Unit Plan. 
  
 The number of the options to be granted in lieu of the designated portion of your retainer
will be calculated as of the first business day of the calendar year utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method. Each stock option will have an exercise price equal to the closing price of UTC stock on the first business day of the calendar year;
become exercisable on the third anniversary of the grant date; have a ten year term, and be governed by the terms and conditions of the Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan.
