EATON CORPORATION
2007 ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
ITEM 15 (B)
EATON INCENTIVE COMPENSATION DEFERRAL PLAN II
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2005
2008 RESTATEMENT
EATON INCENTIVE COMPENSATION DEFERRAL PLAN II
I. PURPOSE
The Incentive Compensation Deferral Plan II (the "Plan") enables employees who
contribute significantly to the success of Eaton Corporation ("Eaton" or the
"Company") to defer receipt of awards earned under incentive compensation plans
and certain other compensation. The purpose of the Plan is to help attract and
retain highly qualified individuals, to provide an incentive to those
individuals to improve the profitability, competitiveness and growth of the
Company, and to help align their interests with those of the shareholders.
II. ELIGIBILITY
All elected officers of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan with
respect to amounts earned under the Executive Strategic Incentive Plan or any
other Eaton incentive plan made available for deferral hereunder by the
Committee. Such other executives as determined by the Committee shall also be
eligible to participate in the Plan with respect to any amounts earned under any
Eaton incentive compensation plan made available for deferral hereunder by the
Committee.
III. DEFINITIONS
The terms used herein shall have the following meanings:
Account--A bookkeeping account established by Eaton for a Participant to which
may be credited Deferred Incentive Compensation and earnings or losses thereon.
Agreement--A written agreement between Eaton and a Participant deferring the
receipt of Incentive Compensation and indicating the term of the deferral.
Beneficiary--The person or entity designated in writing by the Participant and
delivered to the Committee. If that person or entity is not living or in
existence at the time any unpaid balance of Deferred Incentive Compensation
becomes due after the death of a Participant, the term "Beneficiary" shall mean
the Participant's estate or legal representative or any person, trust or
organization designated in such Participant's will.
Board--The Board of Directors of Eaton.
Change in Control--Shall be deemed to occur upon the occurrence of (i) a change
in the ownership of Eaton, (ii) a change in effective control of Eaton, or (iii)
a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Eaton. For
purposes of this definition, except as provided below, a change in the ownership
of a Eaton occurs on the date that any one (1) person, or more than one (1)
person acting as a group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-3(i)(5)(v)(B)), acquires ownership of stock of Eaton that, together with
stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty (50) percent of
the total fair market value or total voting power of the shares of Eaton.
However, if any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group,
is considered to own more than fifty (50) percent of the total fair market value
or total voting power of the shares of Eaton, the acquisition of additional
shares by the same person or persons is not considered to cause a change in the
ownership of Eaton (or to cause a change in the effective control of Eaton). An
increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one (1) person, or persons
acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the corporation
acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of
stock for purposes hereof. This shall apply only when there is a transfer of
shares of Eaton (or issuance of shares of Eaton) and shares in Eaton remain
outstanding after the transaction. A change in the effective control of Eaton
occurs only on either of the following dates: (1) The date any one (1) person,
or more than one (1) person acting as a group, acquires (or has acquired during
the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such
person or persons) ownership of shares of Eaton possessing thirty (30) percent
or more of the total voting power of the shares of the corporation; or (2) the
date a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any 12-month period
by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the
members of the Board before the date of the appointment or election. A change in
the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Eaton occurs on the date
any one (1) person, or more than one (1) person acting as a group, acquires (or
has acquired during the 12- month period ending on the date of the most recent
acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the corporation that have a
total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty (40) percent of the
total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the corporation
immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions. For this purpose, gross
fair market value means the value of the assets of the corporation, or the value
of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities
associated with such assets. Application of this definition shall be further
subject to rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i) relating
to persons acting as a group, transfers to related persons, and certain
back-to-back arrangements.
Code--Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as it may be amended from time to time.
Committee--The Compensation and Organization Committee of the Board.
Common Share Retirement Compensation--Retirement Compensation which is converted
into share units in accordance with Article VI.
Deferred Incentive Compensation--That portion of Incentive Compensation deferred
pursuant to the Plan.
Eaton--Eaton Corporation, an Ohio corporation, and its corporate successors.
Eaton Common Shares--The common shares of Eaton.
Incentive Compensation--Any payment awarded to a Participant under any Incentive
Compensation Plan.
Incentive Compensation Plan--Any incentive compensation plan approved by either
the Board or its Compensation and Organization Committee.
-2-
Interest Rate Retirement Compensation--Retirement Compensation which is credited
with Treasury Note Based Interest in accordance with Article VI.
Participant--An employee of Eaton who elects to defer receiving benefits under
an Incentive Compensation Plan designated by the Committee as eligible for
deferral hereunder.
Periodic Installments--Annual payments, over a period not to exceed fifteen (15)
years, as elected by the Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
which are substantially equal in amount, or, in the case of Common Share
Retirement Compensation, substantially equal in the number of share units being
valued and paid or the number of Eaton Common Shares being distributed, except
that earnings attributable to periods following Retirement or Termination of
Employment shall be included with each payment. Periodic Installments are paid
on or about March 15 of each year, except as otherwise provided herein.
Plan--This Incentive Compensation Deferral Plan II pursuant to which Incentive
Compensation may be deferred for later payment.
Retirement--The Termination of Employment of a Participant who is age fifty (50)
or older and has at least ten (10) years of service with Eaton. For this
purpose, service shall be measured in the same manner as Service under the
Pension Plan for Eaton Corporation Employees.
Retirement Compensation--That portion of Incentive Compensation deferred for
payment at Retirement or in Periodic Installments commencing at Retirement.
Short-Term Compensation--That portion of Incentive Compensation deferred for
payment in accordance with Article V.
Termination of Employment--The time when a Participant shall no longer be
employed by Eaton whether by reason of Retirement, death, voluntary resignation
(with or without good reason), divestiture or closing of a business unit, plant
or facility, discharge (with or without cause), or such disability that, under
the then current employment practices of Eaton, the employment of the
Participant is terminated. Termination of Employment shall include "separation
from service" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, meaning that a
Participant whose level of bona fide services is permanently decreased to no
more than twenty (20) percent of the average level of bona fide services
performed over the preceding 36-month period shall incur a separation from
service for purposes of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon a sale or
other disposition of assets of Eaton or any of its subsidiaries to an unrelated
purchaser, Eaton reserves the right, to the extent permitted by Section 409A of
the Code, to determine whether Participants providing services to the purchaser
after and in connection with the purchase transaction have experienced a
separation from service.
Treasury Bill Interest Equivalent--A rate of interest equal to the quarterly
average yield of 13-week U.S. Government Treasury Bills.
Treasury Note Based Interest--A rate of interest equal to the average yield of
10-year U.S. Government Treasury Notes plus 300 basis points.
-3-
IV. ELECTION TO DEFER
Section 4.01 Deferral Options
For each award period ending during or after 2005 (an "Award Period") with
respect to any plan eligible for the deferral of Incentive Compensation
hereunder, the Participant may elect to defer the receipt of all or part of his
or her Incentive Compensation as Short-Term Compensation or Retirement
Compensation. Once a Participant has made an effective election, he or she may
not thereafter change that election or change any allocation between Short-Term
Compensation or Retirement Compensation.
Section 4.02 Amount Deferred
Not less than ten (10) percent of Incentive Compensation awarded for any Award
Period may be deferred under the Plan. If a Participant elects to allocate a
portion of Incentive Compensation to both Short-Term Compensation and Retirement
Compensation, the amount allocated to each shall be not less than ten (10)
percent of the Incentive Compensation awarded for any Award Period.
Section 4.03 Election Deadline
To be in effect for an Award Period, a Participant's election must be completed,
signed and filed with the Committee on or before December 31 of the taxable year
immediately preceding the taxable year in which the services are performed,
except that in the case of any performance-based compensation within the meaning
of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(e) based on services performed over a
period of at least 12 months, such election must be made no later than six (6)
months before the end of the Award Period and otherwise in accordance with rules
and procedures established by the Committee. Moreover, in the case of the first
year in which a Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, such
election may be made with respect to services performed subsequent to the
election within thirty (30) days after the date the Participant becomes eligible
to participate in the Plan. In the event that an election is made hereunder in
the Participant's first year of eligibility with respect to compensation that is
earned based on a specific performance period and after the beginning of that
performance period (but subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.03), the
election shall apply only to the compensation paid for services performed after
the election. An election will be deemed to apply to compensation paid for
services performed after the election if the election applies to no more than an
amount equal to the total amount of the compensation for the performance period
multiplied by the ratio of the number of days remaining in the performance
period after the election over the total number of dates in the performance
period.
-4-
V. SHORT-TERM COMPENSATION
Section 5.01 Amount
If elected by a Participant, payment of the amount of Incentive Compensation
allocated to Short-Term Compensation will be deferred. Short-Term Compensation
shall be credited to the Participant on the date such amount would have been
distributed to him or her if there had been no valid deferral election by
establishing an Account in the Participant's name. Treasury Bill Interest
Equivalents shall be credited quarterly to the Participant's Short-Term
Compensation Account until such compensation is paid to the Participant.
Section 5.02 Election and Payment
Short-Term Compensation, together with credited Treasury Bill Interest
Equivalents, shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum or in not more than
five (5) annual installments, as elected by the Participant. At the time a
Participant elects to defer receipt of Incentive Compensation as Short-Term
Compensation pursuant to Section 4.01, the Participant shall also elect with
respect to the deferral for such Award Period the time at which payment of such
amount shall be made or begin and which of the methods of payment described in
this Section 5.02 shall be used, provided that such payment may not be made
prior to March 15 of the second year following the Award Period for which the
Short-Term Compensation was credited to the Participant. Upon the death of a
Participant who has a Short-Term Compensation Account, the entire amount of his
or her Short-Term Compensation then remaining shall be distributed to the
Participant's Beneficiary in a lump sum within ninety (90) days following the
death.
VI. RETIREMENT COMPENSATION
Section 6.01 Duration
If elected by a Participant, payment of the amount of Incentive Compensation
allocated to Retirement Compensation will be deferred to Retirement, but subject
to the limitations of Section 9.02. Retirement Compensation shall be credited to
the Participant on the date such amount would have been distributed to him or
her if there had been no valid deferral election by establishing an Account in
the Participant's name. At the time a Participant elects to defer receipt of
Incentive Compensation as Retirement Compensation pursuant to Section 4.01, the
Participant shall also elect with respect to the deferral for such Award Period,
whether such amount is to be distributed in a lump sum or in the form of
Periodic Installments over a period of five (5), ten (10), or fifteen (15)
years, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 6.07. Following a
Participant's Retirement, payment to the Participant shall be made or commence
on or about March 15 of the year following the date of such Retirement, subject
to the provisions of Sections 6.07 and 9.02.
-5-
Section 6.02 Common Share Retirement Compensation
Between fifty (50) percent and one hundred (100) percent, as elected by the
Participant, of the amount allocated to Retirement Compensation shall be
credited to Common Share Retirement Compensation, and the balance shall be
credited to Interest Rate Retirement Compensation.
Common Share Retirement Compensation shall be converted into a number of share
units based upon the average of the mean prices for Eaton Common Shares for the
twenty (20) trading days of the New York Stock Exchange during which Eaton
Common Shares were traded immediately following the end of the incentive period
in which the Incentive Compensation to be deferred was earned. Until the
Participant's Common Share Retirement Compensation is paid, on each Eaton Common
Share dividend payment date, dividend equivalents equal to the actual Eaton
Common Share dividends paid shall be credited to the share units in the
Participant's Account, and shall in turn be converted into share units utilizing
the mean Eaton Common Share price on the dividend payment date.
Upon payment of Common Share Retirement Compensation, the share units standing
to the Participant's credit shall be converted to the same number of Eaton
Common Shares for distribution to the Participant in the form of Eaton Common
Shares.
Section 6.03 Interest Rate Retirement Compensation
Retirement Compensation not credited to Common Share Retirement Compensation
shall be credited to Interest Rate Retirement Compensation. Interest Rate
Retirement Compensation shall be credited to the Interest Rate Retirement
Compensation Account, which shall earn Treasury Note Based Interest, compounded
quarterly, until paid.
Section 6.04 Periodic Installments Following Death
Upon the death of a Participant who has commenced receiving Periodic
Installments, the entire remaining amount of his or her Retirement Compensation
shall be distributed to the Participant's Beneficiary. Such distribution shall
be made in a lump sum within ninety (90) days following the death.
Section 6.05 Termination of Employment
The Retirement Compensation Account of a Participant who has a Termination of
Employment for reasons other than Retirement shall be distributed in a lump sum.
The lump sum payment shall be made within sixty (60) days following such
Termination of Employment, subject to the provisions of Section 9.02.
Section 6.06 Limited Redeferral
A Participant who has made an effective election under Section 6.01 with respect
to deferral of Retirement Compensation for payment in a lump sum following
Retirement may make a subsequent election to delay payment or commencement of
payment of such amount for a period
-6-
of five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made,
which election may include a change in the form of payment in accordance with
the following provisions, subject to such administrative rules and procedures as
may be established by the Committee:
(a) the subsequent election shall not take effect until 12 months after
the date on which it is made; and
(b) payment in the form of Periodic Installments over a period of five (5)
years may be elected.
Any such subsequent election shall become irrevocable on the later of the date
when made or the date which is 12 months before the date the Participant could
first be eligible for Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 6.06, no such subsequent election shall be given effect unless the
Participant has a Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement.
VII. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
Section 7.01 Right to Amend or Terminate
Eaton fully expects to continue the Plan but it reserves the right, except as
otherwise provided herein, at any time by action of the Committee, to modify,
amend or terminate the Plan for any reason, including adverse changes in the
federal tax laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of
Section 9.01, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, no amendment,
modification or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the
Participant, alter or impair any rights or obligations under the Plan with
respect to such Participant.
Section 7.02 American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
The Plan is intended to provide for the deferral of compensation in accordance
with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury Regulations and
published guidance issued pursuant thereto. Accordingly, the Plan shall be
construed in a manner consistent with those provisions and may at any time be
amended in the manner and to the extent determined necessary or desirable by
Eaton to reflect or otherwise facilitate compliance with such provisions with
respect to amounts deferred on and after January 1, 2005, including as
contemplated by Section 885 (f) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.
Moreover, after January 1, 2007, and on or before December 31, 2007, and to the
extent permitted by the Committee in accordance with terms set forth on an
election form provided by Eaton, a Participant may make a change in a payment
election as described in IRS Notice 2006-79, provided that with respect to an
election to change a time and form of payment made after January 1, 2007 and on
or before December 31, 2007, the election may apply only to amounts that would
not otherwise be payable in 2007 and may not cause an amount to be paid in 2007
that would not otherwise be payable in 2007.
-7-
VIII. ADMINISTRATION
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall interpret
the provisions of the Plan where necessary and may adopt procedures for the
administration of the Plan which are consistent with the provisions of the Plan
and any rules adopted by the Committee.
Each Participant or Beneficiary must claim any benefit to which such Beneficiary
may be entitled under the Plan by a written notification to the Committee. If a
claim is denied, it must be denied within a reasonable period of time in a
written notice stating the specific reasons for the denial. The claimant may
have a review of the denial by the Committee by filing a written notice with the
Committee within sixty (60) days after the notice of the denial of his or her
claim. The written decision by the Committee with respect to the review must be
given within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the written request.
The determinations of the Committee shall be final and conclusive.
IX. PAYMENTS
Section 9.01 Termination upon Change in Control. The Board shall have the
authority, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Plan and pay each
Participant's entire benefit to the Participant or, if applicable, his
Beneficiary, pursuant to an irrevocable action taken by the Board within the
thirty (30) days preceding or the 12 months following a Change in Control,
provided that this Section 9.01 will only apply to a payment under the Plan if
all agreements, methods, programs, and other arrangements sponsored by the
service recipient immediately after the time of the change in control event with
respect to which deferrals of compensation are treated as having been deferred
under a single plan within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(c)(2) are terminated and liquidated with respect to each Participant
that experienced the change in control event, so that under the terms of the
termination and liquidation all such Participants are required to receive all
amounts of compensation deferred under the terminated agreements, methods,
programs, and other arrangements within 12 months of the date the service
recipient irrevocably takes all necessary action to terminate and liquidate the
agreements, methods, programs and other arrangements. Solely for purposes of
this Section 9.01, where the change in control event results from an asset
purchase transaction, the applicable service recipient with the discretion to
liquidate and terminate the agreements, methods, programs, and other
arrangements is the service recipient that is primarily liable immediately after
the transaction for the payment of the deferred compensation.
Section 9.02 Time of Payment
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, compensation deferred
under the Plan shall not be distributed earlier than
(a) separation from service as determined by the Secretary of the Treasury
(except as provided below with respect to a "specified employee" of
Eaton);
-8-
(b) the date the Participant becomes disabled (within the meaning of
Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code);
(c) death of the Participant;
(d) a specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) specified under the
Plan at the date of the deferral of such compensation;
(e) to the extent provided by the Secretary of the Treasury, a change in
the ownership or effective control of Eaton, or in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the assets of Eaton;
(f) the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency as defined in Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Code; or
(g) termination of the Plan as described in Section 7.01 or 9.01.
In the case of any Participant who is determined by the Company to be a
"specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and
applicable Treasury regulations, distributions shall not in any event be made or
begin until the first business day of the month which is six (6) months after
the date of his separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of
the Participant) (the "permitted payment date"). In the event any payment to a
specified employee is delayed by reason of this provision, such payment
(including interest or earnings otherwise credited through the permitted payment
date) shall be made on such permitted payment date.
X. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.01 Adjustments
In the event of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, reclassification,
recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, stock split, stock
dividend, rights offering or similar event affecting shares of the Company, the
Committee shall equitably adjust the limitation on the number and class of share
units which may be allocated to Participants as Common Share Retirement
Compensation, and the number of share units previously allocated to their
Accounts.
Section 10.02 Designation of Beneficiaries
Each Participant shall have the right, by written instruction to the Committee,
on a form supplied by the Committee, to designate one (1) or more primary and
contingent Beneficiaries (and the proportion to be paid to each, if more than
one is designated) to receive his or her Account balance upon his or her death.
Any such designation shall be revocable by the Participant.
-9-
Section 10.03 Committee Actions
All actions of the Committee hereunder may be taken with or without a meeting.
If taken without a meeting, the action shall be in writing and signed by a
majority of the members of the Committee and if taken with a meeting, a majority
of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for any such action. The
determination by the Committee as to the withholding of taxes shall be binding
upon the Participants and their Beneficiaries.
Section 10.04 Assignment
No benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale,
transfer or encumbrance, and any attempt to do so shall be void. No benefit
hereunder shall in any manner be liable for the debts, contracts, or liabilities
of the person entitled to such benefits. During a Participant's lifetime, rights
hereunder are exercisable only by the Participant or that person's guardian or
legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section
shall prohibit the transfer of any benefit by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution or (if permitted by applicable regulations under Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations
order, as defined under the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended.
Section 10.05 No Funding Required
The obligations of Eaton to make payments shall be a liability of Eaton to the
Participant. Eaton shall not be required to maintain any separate fund or
reserve, or purchase or acquire life insurance on a Participant's life, or
otherwise segregate assets to assure that any particular asset of Eaton is
available to make such payments by reason of Eaton's obligations hereunder.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed as creating a trust or other
fiduciary relationship between Eaton and a Participant or any other person.
Section 10.06 Certain Adjustments to Accounts
In the event that it shall be determined in accordance with any policy, program
or standard adopted by Eaton that any Incentive Compensation payable to a
Participant which has been deferred under the terms of the Plan is to be
restored to Eaton, the Account of such Participant shall be appropriately
adjusted to eliminate such deferral, and no substitution shall be provided.
Section 10.07 No Employment Contract
The Plan shall not be deemed to constitute a contract of employment between
Eaton and a Participant. Neither shall the execution of the Plan nor any action
taken by Eaton or the Committee pursuant to the Plan confer on a Participant any
legal right to be continued in any other capacity with Eaton whatsoever.
-10-
Section 10.08 Governing Law
The Plan shall be construed and governed in accordance with the law of the State
of Ohio to the extent not covered by Federal law.
Section 10.09 Effective Date
The Plan was adopted by the Board on December 8, 2004, effective January 1,
2005, and is amended and restated effective January 1, 2008, as set forth
herein.
