each of the Rockwell Pension Plan and the Rockwell Automation
Pension Plan (after giving effect to the allocation under
Section 3.01(c)(iv)(B)(3)) is less than 100%, then the
Rockwell Pension Plan and the Rockwell Automation Pension Plan

the ratio of each such Pension Plan's Step 4 ERISA 4044
Shortfall Amount to the aggregate Step 4 ERISA 4044 Shortfall
Amount of such two Pension Plans), any Step 4 Excess Amount
until the ERISA 4044 Funded Percentage of each such Pension

(6) Sixth, the Pension Plan with the lowest Step 6
ABO Funded Percentage (and the related Trust) will have
allocated to it any Step 6 Excess Amount until the ABO Funded
Percentage of such Pension Plan is equal (after giving effect
to the allocation under this Section 3.01(c)(iv)(B)(6)) to the
ABO
16
20
Funded Percentage of the Pension Plan with the next lowest
Step 6 ABO Funded Percentage;
(7) Seventh, the two Pension Plans with the lowest
Step 7 ABO Funded Percentage each will have allocated to it,
on a pro rata basis (based on the ratio of each such Pension
Plan's ABO Percentage to the aggregate ABO Percentage of such
two Pension Plans), any Step 7 Excess Amount until the ABO
Funded Percentage of each such Pension Plan is equal (after
giving effect to the allocation under this Section
3.01(c)(iv)(B)(7)) to the ABO Funded Percentage of the Pension
Plan with the highest Step 7 ABO Funded Percentage; and
(8) Eighth, each Pension Plan will have allocated to
it such Pension Plan's pro rata share (based on such Pension
Plan's ABO Percentage) of any Step 8 Excess Amount.

Time of Distribution to the date of contribution (calculated based on actual
days elapsed in a 365-day year) at a rate of 9% per annum and assets having a
fair market value equal to such interest amount will also be contributed to such
Pension Plan on the date of contribution by the sponsor of such Pension Plan.

writing and shall include:
(A) an offer to join the Rockwell U.K. Plan for future service
on terms which are materially identical (as to the form of benefit

Discretionary Practice, such element of pension is increased annually in April
