Exhibit 10.4

INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN OF 2013

FOR NON-U.S. PARTICIPANTS

FOR THE [DATE] – [DATE] PERFORMANCE PERIOD

DATED AS OF [XXXXX XXXX] ("GRANT DATE")

Allegion plc (the “Company”) hereby grants to [insert name] (“Participant”) a performance stock unit award (the “PSUs”) pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Incentive Stock Plan of 2013 (the “Plan”), including the terms and conditions for Performance-Based Awards as set forth in Section 8(b) of the Plan. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same meanings in this Performance Stock Unit Award Agreement (“the Award Agreement”).

Each PSU that vests pursuant to the terms of this Award Agreement shall provide Participant with the right to receive one ordinary share of the Company (the “Share”) on the issuance date described in Section 3(e) below. The number of Shares subject to the PSUs, the performance and service vesting conditions applicable to such Shares, the date on which vested Shares shall become issuable and any further terms and conditions governing the PSUs shall be as set forth in this Award Agreement, including any country-specific terms set forth in the attached Appendix B for Participant’s country.

1. Number of Shares. The number of Shares subject to the PSUs is [insert number of Shares], provided, however, that the issuance of such Shares pursuant to the PSUs shall be determined in accordance with the fulfillment of certain performance conditions set forth in the attached Appendix A and the additional vesting requirements set forth in Section 3 below.

2. Performance Period. The performance period applicable to the PSUs is [Date] to [Date] (the “Performance Period”).

3. Vesting and Issuance of Shares; Dividend Equivalents. Participant’s right to receive Shares subject to the PSUs shall vest in accordance with the performance vesting conditions set forth in the attached Appendix A and subject to the following additional vesting requirements:

(a) Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to any cash dividend paid by the Company upon one Share for each PSU held by Participant when such dividend is paid (“Dividend Equivalent”), provided that (i) Participant shall have no right to receive the Dividend Equivalents unless and until the associated PSUs vest, (ii) Dividend Equivalents shall not accrue interest and (iii) Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash at the time that the associated PSUs vest.

(b) Except as provided in 3(c) below, Participant must be continually employed by the Company or its Affiliates throughout the Performance Period. If Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than as provided in 3(c), all PSUs and any associated Dividend Equivalents shall be forfeited as of the date of termination of active employment and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such PSUs, the underlying Shares or any associated Dividend Equivalents.

(c) If Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, Participant’s (or the Particpant’s estate’s) right to receive Shares subject to the PSUs shall vest in accordance with this Section 3 as

if the Participant was continually employed by the Company or its affiliates throughout the Performance Period and shall not forfeit any PSUs or any associated Dividend Equivalents by reason of termination of employment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), the Performance Period shall lapse and the Participants shall be deemed to have earned and shall fully vest in the Shares.

(e) On a date as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period, the Committee shall certify the extent to which the performance vesting conditions set forth in Appendix A have been met (the “Certification Date”). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall cause to be issued to Participant Shares with respect to any PSUs that became vested on the Certification Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee has the sole discretion to make downward adjustments to the award amount determined pursuant to Appendix A, including an adjustment such that no Shares are issued to Participant, regardless of the fulfillment of the performance vesting conditions set forth in Appendix A.

Shares issued pursuant to this Section 3(e) shall be fully paid and non-assessable. Participant will not have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of any Shares subject to the PSUs unless and until such Shares have been issued to Participant.

4. Responsibility for Taxes. Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by the Company or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”), the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”) is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. Participant further acknowledges that the Company and the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the PSUs; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the PSUs to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Grant Date and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

To satisfy any withholding obligations of the Company and/or the Employer with respect to Tax-Related Items, the Company will withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon vesting of the PSUs. Alternatively, or in addition, in connection with any applicable taxable or tax withholding event, Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following; (a) withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by the Company or the Employer, (b) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the PSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent) and/or (c) requiring Participant to tender a cash payment to the Company or an Affiliate in the amount of the Tax-Related Items; provided, however, that if Participant is a Section 16 officer of the Company under the Act, the withholding methods described in this Section 5 (a), (b) and (c) will only be used if the Committee (as constituted to satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the Act) determines, in advance of the applicable withholding event, that one such withholding method will be used in lieu of withholding Shares.

Depending on the withholding method, the Company may withhold for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including

maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the equivalent amount in Shares. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if Participant fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

5. Nature of Grant. In accepting the PSUs, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be amended, altered or discontinued by the Company at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan;

(b) the grant of the PSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of performance stock units, or benefits in lieu of performance stock units, even if performance stock units have been granted in the past;

(c) all decisions with respect to future performance stock unit grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

(d) Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e) the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f) the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs, and the income and value of the same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(g) the PSU grant and Participant’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to employment or be interpreted as forming an employment or service contract with the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate and will not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any Affiliate, as applicable, to terminate Participant's employment or service relationship (if any).

(h) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

(i) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the PSUs resulting from Participant ceasing to provide employment or other services to the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any) or from cancellation of the PSUs or recoupment of any financial gain resulting from the PSUs as described in Section 8 below and, in consideration of the grant of the PSUs to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives the ability, if any, to bring any such claim and releases the Company, the Employer and any Affiliate from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, Participant will be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claims;

(j) in the event of termination of Participant’s employment or other services (for any reason whatsoever, whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where

Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any), Participant’s right to vest in the PSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that Participant is no longer actively providing services (other than in the case of death or disability, in which case the Participant shall be deemed to have actively provided services throughout the Performance Period), and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., active service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant's employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of this PSU grant (including whether Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on approved leave of absence);

(k) unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by the Company, in its discretion, the PSUs and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the PSUs or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by another company nor to be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Shares; and

(l) neither the Company, nor the Employer nor any Affiliate will be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the PSUs or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the PSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired upon settlement.

6. Data Privacy. Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in the Award Agreement and any other PSU grant materials by and among, as applicable, the Employer, the Company and any Affiliate for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.

Participant understands that the Company and the Employer may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all PSUs or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor, for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).

Participant understands that Data may be transferred to UBS, or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by the Company in the future, which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. Participant understands that the recipients of Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that the recipients’ country (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections than Participant’s country. Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. Participant authorizes the Company, UBS and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative. Further, Participant understands that he or she is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If Participant does

not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke his or her consent, Participant's employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant PSUs or other equity awards to Participant or administer or maintain such awards. Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect his or her ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

7. Recoupment Provision. In the event that Participant commits fraud or engages in intentional misconduct that results in a need for the Company to restate its financial statements, then the Committee may direct the Company to (i) cancel any outstanding portion of the PSUs and (ii) recover all or a portion of the financial gain realized by Participant through the PSUs.

8. Electronic Delivery and Participation. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan by electronic means or to request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or a third party designated by the Company.

9. Choice of Law and Venue. The PSU grant and the provisions of this Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to such state’s conflict of laws or provisions, as provided in the Plan. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this grant or this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Delaware and agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of New Castle County, Delaware, or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Delaware, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

10. Severability. The provisions of this Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

11. Appendix B. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, the PSUs and the Shares subject to the PSUs shall be subject to any special terms and conditions for Participant’s country set forth in the attached Appendix B. Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in Appendix B, the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons. Appendix B constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

12. Imposition of Other Requirements. This grant is subject to, and limited by, all applicable laws and regulations and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. Participant agrees that the Company shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and this Award Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to the issuance of Shares. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the PSUs and on any Shares acquired under the Plan, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

13. Waiver. Participant acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of this Award Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Award Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by Participant or any other participant in the Plan.

14. Acknowledgement & Acceptance within 120 Days. This grant is subject to acceptance, within 120 days of the Grant Date, by electronic acceptance through the website of UBS, the Company’s stock plan administrator. Failure to accept the PSUs within 120 days of the Grant Date may result in cancellation of the PSUs.

APPENDIX B

This Appendix B includes special terms and conditions applicable to Participant if Participant is in one of the countries listed below. These terms and conditions supplement or replace (as indicated) the terms and conditions set forth in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan or the Award Agreement, as applicable, shall have the same meanings in this Appendix B.

This Appendix B also includes information relating to exchange control and other issues of which Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the exchange control, securities and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of October 2013. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Participant not rely on the information herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time the PSUs vest or the Shares acquired under the Plan are sold.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Participant’s particular situation. The Company is not in a position to assure Participant of any particular result. Accordingly, Participant is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, if Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she is currently working, or if Participant transfers employment or residency to another country after the PSUs are granted, the information contained herein may not be applicable to Participant.

Vesting and Issuance of Shares; Dividend Equivalents. This provision replaces Section 3 of the Award Agreement:

Participant’s right to receive Shares subject to the PSUs shall vest in accordance with the performance vesting conditions set forth in the attached Appendix A and subject to the additional vesting requirements set forth in this section,

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Award Agreement, Participant’s right to receive Shares subject to the PSUs shall not vest unless and until the Company receives all necessary approvals from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”) to offer equity awards in China (“SAFE Approval”). Once SAFE Approval has been received and provided Participant has remained employed by the Employer, the Company or an Affiliate from the Grant Date through the date SAFE Approval is obtained, Participant will receive vesting credit for that portion of Shares subject to the PSUs that would have vested prior to obtaining SAFE Approval, if applicable, and the remaining portion of Shares subject to the PSUs will vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in this Award Agreement. If Participant’s employment terminates prior to the receipt of SAFE Approval, all unvested PSUs shall be forfeited as of the date of termination of employment and Participant shall have no right to or interest in such PSUs or the underlying Shares.

PSUs vest, (ii) Dividend Equivalents shall not accrue interest and (iii) Dividend Equivalents shall be paid in cash at the time that the associated PSUs vest.

(c) If, after receipt of SAFE Approval, Participant’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, Participant’s (or the Particpant’s estate’s) right to receive Shares subject to the PSUs shall vest in accordance with this Section 3 as if the Participant was continually employed by the Company or its affiliates throughout the Performance Period and shall not forfeit any PSUs or any associated Dividend Equivalents by reason of termination of employment.

(f) To facilitate compliance with any applicable laws or regulations in China, Participant agrees and acknowledges that the Company (or a brokerage firm instructed by the Company, if applicable) is entitled to (i) immediately sell all Shares issued to Participant at vesting (on Participant’s behalf and at Participant’s direction pursuant to this authorization), either at the time of vesting or when Participant ceases employment with the Employer, the Company or an Affiliate, or (ii) require that any Shares acquired under the Plan be held with a Company-designated broker until such shares are sold. Without limitation to the foregoing, if Participant’s employment terminates and Participant holds or acquires any Shares at that time, Participant (or, in circumstances where Participant’s employment terminates due to death, Participant’s estate or the person(s) who acquired the right to the Shares under applicable law) will be required to sell all Shares prior to the last trading day of the fifth month following termination of employment. If the Shares have not been sold by such date, the Company-designated broker will automatically sell all Shares on Participant’s behalf on or as soon as practicable after the last trading day of the fifth month following termination of employment and in no event later than six months following termination of employment. Participant also agrees to sign any agreements, forms and/or consents that may be reasonably requested by the Company (or the Company’s designated brokerage firm) to effectuate the sale of the Shares and acknowledges that neither the Company nor the designated brokerage firm is under any obligation to arrange for such sale of the Shares at any particular price (it being understood that the sale will occur at the then-current market price) and that broker’s fees or commissions may be incurred in any such sale. In any event, when the Shares acquired under the Plan are sold,

the proceeds of the sale of the Shares, less any Tax-Related Items and broker’s fees or commissions, will be remitted to Participant in accordance with applicable exchange control laws and regulations.

Exchange Control Restrictions. Participant understands and agrees that, if he or she is a PRC national and subject to exchange control restrictions in China, he or she will be required to immediately repatriate the proceeds of the sale of Shares and any cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents to China. Participant further understands that the repatriation of such funds may need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by the Company or an Affiliate and he or she hereby consents and agrees that such funds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to Participant’s personal account. Participant also understands that the Company will deliver any sale proceeds, cash dividends or Dividend Equivalents to Participant as soon as practicable, but that there may be delays in distributing the funds due to exchange control requirements in China. Proceeds may be paid to Participant in U.S. dollars or local currency at the Company’s discretion. If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Participant will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in China so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account. If the proceeds are paid in local currency, the Company is under no obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and the Company may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control restrictions, and Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the Shares are sold and the time (i) the Tax-Related Items are converted to local currency and remitted to the tax authorities and/or (ii) the net proceeds are converted to local currency and distributed to Participant. Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by the Company in the future in order to facilitate compliance with exchange control requirements in China.
