Honeywell International Inc.
Attention: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
dated as of today's date by and among Honeywell International Inc. ("Parent"),
HII-2 Acquisition Corp. ("Purchaser") and Pittway Corporation (the "Company"),
which is about to be executed and delivered. Capitalized terms used herein that
are defined in the Agreement have the meanings given those terms in the
Agreement. This letter, and a second letter between us of even date herewith,
will confirm certain related agreements among Parent, the Company, the Xxxxxx
family and Xxxx Xxxxxx regarding compensation matters.
1. Key Executive Retention Program: Parent, the Company and the Xxxxxx
family, as indicated on Schedule 1 attached, will implement the program
described on Schedule 1.
2. Corporate Office Retention and Severance Program: The Company will
provide severance benefits and pay-to-stay bonuses to all Corporate
Office employees who are terminated following the Share Purchase Date
as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. The
Company expects to terminate all employees in the Tax, Audit,
Benefits/Insurance, and Aircraft Departments. The Company will also
selectively reduce its Accounting staff.
The Company hopes to keep all employees expected to be terminated on
staff until their services are no longer needed. To give them an
incentive to stay, the Company will offer severance benefits (one week
pay for every year of service) and pay-to-stay benefits which may range
from two to six months' pay. Employees to be eligible for pay-to-stay
benefits will be determined by Parent in its discretion. Parent and the
Company will mutually agree to the size of individual pay-to-stay
benefits.
3. Senior Executive Terminations: At the anniversary of the Share Purchase
Date, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx'x and Xx Xxxxxxxx'x Employment Agreements will be
terminated by the Company without cause, triggering their rights under
the Company's Change of Control Plan. The Company will pay each of them
three times his 2000 base salary as well as one-year's additional bonus
in an amount equal to his normal 1999 bonus.
Xxxx and Xx will receive customary year-end bonuses for 1999 and 2000.
The 1999 year-end bonuses will be comprised of two parts: a normal
bonus reflecting their work during the year, and an extra bonus to
reward them for their work on the Agreement. The 2000 bonus will
reflect their work during 2000.
4. Xxxx Xxxxxx Employment Agreement: The Company's Employment Agreement
with Xxxx Xxxxxx will be modified, effective as of the Share Purchase
Date, as provided in Schedule 2 attached.
5. Options: Parent will award new options in 2000, exercisable at fair
market value on the grant date, to all current Company employees
currently in the Company's option program. The options awarded are to
have, at a minimum, the same Black-Scholes values that the Company's
options granted in 1999 had at grant on an employee-by-employee basis.
The foregoing agreements may not be amended or modified without the
written consent of the Company and Xxxx Xxxxxx.
Please confirm the foregoing agreements by executing one copy of this
letter in the space provided below and returning the executed copy to me.
Very truly yours,
/s/ XXXX XXXXXX
