The enclosed Stock Option Terms and Conditions are incorporated in and are part of this Stock Option Agreement.  Other terms and conditions are substantially the same as any options previously granted.  

All option holders must activate an account with our stock option administrator, Charles Schwab, in order to exercise their stock options.  There is no cost to open or maintain this account.  If you already have a Schwab account, you need not open another.  Please note that if you fail to activate an account with Schwab, you will experience unnecessary delays in the exercise of your options.  If you have questions regarding your account, please call Charles Schwab’s Customer Service Center at (877) 804-3529.  You can also find account information at http://eac.schwab.com.

In partial consideration for the grant of the Options to you, you undertake and agree by your acceptance of this Stock Option Agreement that

		
	(a)
	during your employment with the Corporation or a Subsidiary (as such terms are  defined in the Plan) and for two years after the date of your retirement or other termination of such employment, you shall not (i) directly or indirectly, except with the approval of the Corporation, engage or otherwise participate in any business that is competitive with any significant line of business of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (otherwise than through ownership of not more than 5% of the voting securities of any such competitive business); or (ii) solicit or induce, or cause any other person or entity to solicit, any employee of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to leave his or her employment with the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to accept employment or other engagement with any other person or entity; and

		
	(b)
	in the event that you breach this undertaking, in addition to any and all other remedies the Corporation may have, (i) the Corporation shall have the right to determine by written notice to you that any of the Options then outstanding shall immediately lapse and cease to be exercisable; and (ii) you agree to pay the Corporation upon written demand the amount of the excess of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of any shares of Stock (as defined in the Plan) you acquired upon exercise of any of the Options (other than Options exercised more than two years before the date of your retirement or other termination of employment) over the exercise price for such Stock.

If a Change of Control (as defined in the Plan) occurs, however, the foregoing provisions (a) and (b) shall immediately terminate as of, and shall not limit your activities after, the date of such Change of Control.

A copy of the Plan Prospectus is enclosed.  You can find a copy of the Plan through the Schwab Equity Award Center® on the Web at http://eac.schwab.com. Please carefully read the enclosed documents and retain them for future reference.

The Options may be exercised, in whole or in part (but only for a whole number of shares of Stock) and at one time or from time to time, as to one-third (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the Option Stock granted as nonqualified stock options (NQs) and incentive stock options (ISOs) during the period beginning on December 6, 2013 and ending on December 6, 2022, as to an additional one-third (rounded to the nearest whole number) of the Option Stock granted as NQs and ISOs during the period beginning on December 6, 2014 and ending on December 6, 2022, and as to the balance of the Option Stock granted as NQs and ISOs during the period beginning on December 6, 2015 and ending on December 6, 2022, and only during those periods, provided that:

		
	(a)
	if you die while an Employee (as defined in the Plan), your estate, or any person who acquires the Options by bequest or inheritance, may exercise all the Options not theretofore exercised within (and only within) the period beginning on your date of death (even if you die before you have become entitled to exercise all or any part of the Options) and ending three years thereafter; and 

		
	(b)
	if your employment by the Corporation terminates other than by death, then:

		
	(i)
	if your retirement or other termination date is before December 6, 2013, the Options will terminate on your retirement or other termination and may not be exercised at any time; 

		
	(ii)
	if your employment by the Corporation is terminated for “cause” (as reasonably determined by the Corporation applying the definition in this Agreement), the Options will immediately terminate upon your termination and may not be exercised at any time; 

		
	(iii)
	if your employment by the Corporation terminates on or after December 6, 2013 by reason of your retirement, you (or if you die after your retirement date, your estate or any person who acquires the Options by bequest or inheritance) may thereafter exercise the Options within (and only within) the period starting on the date you would otherwise have become entitled to exercise the part of the Options so exercised and ending on the fifth anniversary of your retirement date; and

		
	(iv)
	if your employment by the Corporation terminates on or after December 6, 2013 for any reason not specified in subparagraph (a) or in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subparagraph (b), you (or if you die after your termination date, your estate or any person who acquires the Options by bequest or inheritance) may thereafter exercise the Options within (and only within) the period ending three (3) months after your termination date but only to the extent they were exercisable on your termination date.

For purposes of this Section 2, “cause” means any of the following: (i)  your commission of an act of theft, dishonesty, willful misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty for personal profit, or falsification of any documents or records of the Corporation; (ii)  your material failure to comply with the Corporation’s code of conduct or other policies; (iii)  your breach of any obligation under any agreement between you and the Corporation; (iv) your unauthorized use, misappropriation, destruction or diversion of any asset of the Corporation; (v) any intentional act of yours that is injurious to the Corporation’s reputation, financial condition or business, or which otherwise is injurious to employees, clients, or suppliers of the Corporation; (vi) your repeated failure or inability to perform the duties and/or responsibilities of your position; or (vii) your conviction of, or plea of no contest to, any felony or criminal act involving fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation or moral turpitude, or which impairs your ability to perform your duties with the Corporation, as determined by the Corporation.

                            

For purposes of this Section 2, retirement means termination of employment with the Corporation after attaining age 65 and five (5) years of service or age 55 and ten (10) years of service, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.

For purposes of this Section 2, if you receive severance payments in connection with your separation from the Corporation, you will be treated as not having terminated your employment with the Corporation until the last date on which you are entitled to receive severance payments from the Corporation, at which time your employment by the Corporation will be deemed terminated. 

In no event will the provisions of the foregoing subparagraphs (a) and (b) extend to a date after December 6, 2022 the period during which the Options may be exercised. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (x) if (A) a Change of Control occurs, (B) all Options that are outstanding are assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation and (C) within two years of such Change of Control your employment is terminated (1) by reason of death or disability, (2) by you for a Change of Control Good Reason (as defined in the Plan) or (3) by the Corporation other than for Cause (as defined in the Plan) or (y) if (A) a Change of Control occurs and (B) all Options that are outstanding are not assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation, all Options then outstanding (and, in the case of clause (x), any substituted awards of options) will immediately become vested and fully exercisable, whether or not then otherwise exercisable in accordance with their terms.

	(b)
	An exercise of the whole or any part of the Options shall be effective:

		
	(i)
	if you elect (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options elects) to pay the exercise price for the Option Stock entirely by check (wire), upon 

(A) completion of your transaction by using the Customer Service Center and full payment of the exercise price and withholding taxes (if applicable) are received by Charles Schwab within three (3) business days following the exercise; and 
(B) receipt of any documents required pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv) herein; and

		
	(ii)
	if you elect (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options elects) to pay the exercise price of the Option Stock in Stock or in a combination of Stock and check, upon (A) completion of your transaction by using the Customer Service Center and full payment of the exercise price (as described in Section 3(d) herein) and withholding taxes (if applicable) are received by Charles Schwab within three (3) business days following the exercise; and (B) receipt of any documents required pursuant to Section 3(a)(iv) herein.  

		
	(c)
	If you choose (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options chooses) to pay the exercise price for the Option Stock to be purchased on exercise of any of the Options entirely by check, payment must be made by:

		
	•
	delivering to Charles Schwab a check (wire) in the full amount of the exercise price of such Option Stock; or 

		
	•
	arranging with a stockbroker, bank or other financial institution to deliver to Charles Schwab full payment, by check or (if prior arrangements are made with Charles Schwab) by wire transfer, of the exercise price of such Option Stock .

In either event, in accordance with Section 3(e) herein, full payment of the exercise price for the Option Stock purchased must be made within three (3) business days after the exercise has been completed through the Customer Service Center.

		
	(d)
	(i)    If you choose (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options chooses) to use already-owned Stock to pay all or part of the exercise price for the Option Stock to be purchased on exercise of any of the Options, you (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options) must deliver to Charles Schwab an Exercise Request and Attestation Form and cash representing one share, per grant exercised, to settle the rounding of the exercise costs.  To perform such a stock swap transaction or a partial swap transaction, the Exercise Request and Attestation Form must be submitted via fax (720) 785-8884 by 4 PM ET on the date of exercise.  Any questions concerning a stock swap transaction should be referred to (877) 636-7551 (Stock Option Administration Group Hotline).

	•
	at least the number of shares of Stock whose value, based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the day you have exercised your Options through the Customer Service Center, equals the exercise price for the Option Stock; or 

		
	•
	any lesser number of shares of Stock you desire (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options desires) to use to pay the exercise price for such Option Stock and a check in the amount of such exercise price less the value of the Stock to which you are attesting, based on the Fair Market Value on the day you have exercised your Options through the Customer Service Center.

                            

		
	(ii)
	If you choose (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options chooses) to use Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options to pay all or part of the exercise price for the remaining Option Stock to be purchased on exercise of any of the Options, you (or after your death, the person entitled to exercise the Options) must contact the Customer Service Center at (877) 804-3529.

		
	(iii)
	Charles Schwab will advise you (or any other person who, being entitled to do so, exercises the Options) of the exact number of shares of Stock, valued in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii) of the Plan at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, and any funds required to pay in full the exercise price for the Option Stock purchased.  In accordance with Section 3(e) herein, you (or such other person) must pay, by check, in Stock or in a combination of check and Stock, any balance required to pay in full the exercise price of the Option Stock purchased within three (3) business days after the exercise has been completed through the Customer Service Center.

		
	(iv)
	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Stock Option Agreement, the Secretary of Rockwell Automation may limit the number, frequency or volume of successive exercises of any of the Options in which payment is made, in whole or in part, by delivery of Stock pursuant to this subparagraph (d) to prevent unreasonable pyramiding of such exercises.

		
	(e)
	An exercise completed through the Customer Service Center, whether or not full payment of the exercise price for the Option Stock is received by Charles Schwab, shall constitute a binding contractual obligation by you (or the other person entitled to exercise the Options) to proceed with and conclude that exercise of the Options (but only so long as you continue, or the other person entitled to exercise the Options continues, to be entitled to exercise the Options on that date).  By your acceptance of this Stock Option Agreement, you agree (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to exercise the Options) to deliver or cause to be delivered to Charles Schwab in full the exercise price for the Option Stock, that payment being by check, wire transfer, in Stock or in a combination of check and Stock, on or before the third business day after the date on which you complete the exercise through the Customer Service Center.  If such payment is not made, you (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to exercise the Options) authorize the Corporation, in its discretion, to set off against salary payments or other amounts due or which may become due you (or the other person entitled to exercise the Options) any balance of the exercise price for such Option Stock remaining unpaid thereafter.

		
	(f)
	An Exercise Confirmation representing the number of shares of Option Stock purchased will be issued the third business day (i) after Charles Schwab has received full payment therefor or (ii) at Rockwell Automation’s or Charles Schwab’s election in their sole discretion, after Rockwell Automation or Charles Schwab has received (x) full payment of the exercise price of the Option Stock and (y) any reimbursement in respect of withholding taxes due pursuant to Section 5 herein.

		
	4.
	Transferability

The Options are not transferable by you otherwise than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) in the case of Options not granted as incentive stock options, by gift (A) to any member of your immediate family or (B) to a limited liability corporation or partnership or trust for the benefit of one or more members of your immediate family or (C) to a family charitable trust established by you or a member of your immediate family; provided, however, that no transfer pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be effective unless you have notified the Corporation’s Office of the Secretary (Attention:  Stock Option Administration) in writing specifying the Option or Options transferred, the date of the gift and the name, address and social security or other taxpayer identification number of the transferee.  During your lifetime, only you are entitled to exercise the Options unless you have transferred any Option in accordance with this paragraph to a member of your immediate family or to a limited liability corporation or partnership or trust 

                            

for the benefit of one or more members of your immediate family or to a family charitable trust established by you or a member of your immediate family, in which case only that transferee (or the legal representative of the estate or the heirs or legatees of that transferee) shall be entitled to exercise that Option.  For purposes of this paragraph, your “immediate family” shall mean your spouse and natural, adopted or step-children and grandchildren.

		
	5.
	Withholding

Rockwell Automation, your employer and Charles Schwab shall have the right, in connection with the exercise of the Options in whole or in part, to deduct from any payment to be made by Rockwell Automation or Charles Schwab under the Plan an amount equal to the taxes required to be withheld by law with respect to such exercise or to require you (or any other person entitled to exercise the Options) to pay to it an amount sufficient to provide for any such taxes so required to be withheld.  By your acceptance of this Stock Option Agreement, you agree (for yourself and on behalf of any other person who becomes entitled to exercise the Options) that if Rockwell Automation or Charles Schwab elects to require you (or such other person) to remit an amount sufficient to pay such withholding taxes, you (or such other person) must remit that amount within three (3) business days after the completion of the Option exercise.  If such payment is not made, Rockwell Automation, in its discretion, shall have the same right of set-off with respect to payment of the withholding taxes in connection with the exercise of the Option as provided under Section 3(e) herein with respect to payment of the exercise price.

		
	6.
	Headings

The section headings contained in these Stock Option Terms and Conditions are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall in no way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Stock Option Agreement.

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT
(December 6, 2012)

To:    <full legal name>

In accordance with Section 4(c) of the Rockwell Automation, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentives Plan (the Plan), ________ shares (Restricted Shares) of Stock (as defined in the Plan) of Rockwell Automation, Inc. (Rockwell Automation) have been granted to you, effective December 6, 2012, as Restricted Stock (as defined in the Plan) upon the terms and conditions of this Restricted Stock Agreement, subject in all respects to the provisions of the Plan, as it may be amended.  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

1.    Earning of Restricted Shares  

(a)If you shall continue as an Employee from the date hereof until December 6, 2015, then you shall be deemed to have fully earned all the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement on such date.

(b)If you shall die or suffer a disability that shall continue for a continuous period of at least six months during the period of your continuous service as an Employee and prior to December 6, 2015, then you shall be deemed to have fully earned all the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement on the date of your death or the six month anniversary of your disability, as the case may be.

(c)If during the period of your continuous service as an Employee and prior to December 6, 2015, (A) a Change of Control occurs, (B) all Restricted Shares that are outstanding are assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation and (C) within two years of such Change of Control your employment is terminated (1) by reason of death or disability, (2) by you for a Change of Control Good Reason or (3) by the Corporation other than for Cause, you shall be deemed to have fully earned all the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement (and any substituted awards of restricted stock) on the date of your separation from service.  If during the period of your continuous service as an Employee and prior to December 6, 2015, (A) a Change of Control occurs and (B) all Restricted Shares that are outstanding are not assumed or substituted with comparable awards by the successor corporation in such Change of Control or its parent corporation, then you shall be deemed to have fully earned all the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement on the date of such Change of Control.

(d)If your employment by Rockwell Automation terminates on or after the first anniversary of the date hereof and prior to December 6, 2015 by reason of your retirement, then you shall be deemed to have fully earned a prorated portion of the Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement equal to the number of Restricted Shares subject to this Agreement, multiplied by the percentage of days in the three-year period ended December 6, 2015 during which you were an Employee.  For purposes of this Section 1, retirement means termination of employment with Rockwell Automation after attaining age 65 and five (5) years of service or age 55 and ten (10) years of service, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Chief Executive Officer of Rockwell Automation or as otherwise may be required by local law.

(e)For purposes of this Section 1, if you receive severance payments in connection with your separation from Rockwell Automation, you will be treated as not having terminated your employment with Rockwell Automation until the last date on which you are entitled to receive severance payments from Rockwell Automation, at which time your employment by Rockwell Automation will be deemed terminated. 

2.    Retention of Certificates for Restricted Shares

Certificates for the Restricted Shares and any dividends or distributions thereon or in respect thereof that may be paid in additional shares of Stock or other securities of Rockwell Automation or securities of another entity (Stock Dividends) shall be delivered to and held by Rockwell Automation, or shall be registered in book entry form subject to Rockwell Automation’s instructions, until you shall have earned the Restricted Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.  To facilitate implementation of the provisions of this Agreement, you undertake to sign and deposit with Rockwell Automation’s Office of the Secretary such documents appropriate to effectuate the purpose and intent of this Restricted Stock Agreement as Rockwell Automation may reasonably request from time to time. 

3.    Dividends and Voting Rights

Notwithstanding the retention by Rockwell Automation of certificates (or the right to give instructions with respect to shares held in book entry form) for the Restricted Shares and any Stock Dividends, unless and until such shares have been forfeited in accordance with Section 5, you shall be entitled to receive any dividends that may be paid in cash on, and to vote, the Restricted Shares and you shall be entitled to receive any Stock Dividends held by Rockwell Automation (or subject to its instructions) in accordance with Section 2.

4.    Delivery of Earned Restricted Shares

As promptly as practicable after (i) you shall have been deemed to have earned the Restricted Shares in accordance with Section 1 and (ii) Rockwell Automation has been reimbursed for all required withholding taxes in respect of your earning all the Restricted Shares and Stock Dividends that you have been deemed to have earned, Rockwell Automation shall deliver to you (or in the event of your death, to your estate or any person who acquires your interest in the Restricted Shares by bequest or inheritance) all or the part of the Restricted Shares and Stock Dividends that you have been deemed to have earned. 

5.    Forfeiture of Unearned Restricted Shares

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than as provided in Section 5(b), if at any time it shall become impossible for you to earn any of the Restricted Shares in accordance with this Agreement, all the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends, then being held by Rockwell Automation (or subject to its instructions) in accordance with Section 2 shall be forfeited, and you shall have no further rights of any kind or nature with respect thereto.  Upon any such forfeiture, the Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends, shall be transferred to Rockwell Automation.

(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Section 1(d) is applicable, all of the unearned Restricted Shares, together with any Stock Dividends thereon, then being held by Rockwell Automation (or subject to its instructions) in accordance with Section 2 shall be forfeited, and you shall have no further rights of any kind or nature with respect thereto.
