PARTICIPATION Section 3.1. Effective Date . Each individual for whom an Account is maintained under the Plan as of December 31, 2007, shall continue in participation hereunder on January 1, 2008. Section 3.2. New Participants . Each employee of the Company or an Affiliate shall automatically become a Participant on the date he makes (or is deemed to make) a deferral election under Article 4. ARTICLE 4.
DEFERRALS OF COMPENSATION Section 4.1. Annual Incentive Deferrals . A Participant may elect during the first 180 days of the performance period for which an annual incentive award is made, to have all or a part of the amount payable under his annual incentive award (but not less than $1,000) deferred under this Plan. A Participant' s election to defer an annual incentive award payment shall be effective only for the award to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from award to award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrator determines that an annual incentive award does not qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or determines that at the time of the election described above the compensation payable under such award will be readily ascertainable, then the Administrator may specify an earlier election period consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. As of the end of the election period, the Participant' s deferral election shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 4.4. Section 4.2. Long-Term Incentive Deferrals . A Participant may elect during the first 180 days of the performance period for which a long-term incentive award is made, to have all or a part of the amount payable under his long-term incentive award (but not less than $1,000) deferred under this Plan. A Participant' s election to defer a long-term incentive payment shall be effective only for the award to which the election relates, and shall not carry over from award to award. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) if the Administrator determines that a long-term incentive award qualifies as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A and that at the time of the election no portion of the compensation payable under such award will be readily ascertainable, the Administrator may specify a later election period, which in all events must be prior to the first day of the final year of the performance period for such award (whether a calendar year or the fiscal year of the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable), or (b) if the Administrator determines that a long-term incentive award does not qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A, or determines that at the time of the election described above the compensation payable under such award will be readily ascertainable, then the Administrator may specify an earlier election period consistent with the requirements of Code Section 409A. .

As of the end of the election period, the Participant' s deferral election shall be irrevocable except as provided in Section 4.4. Section 4.3. Deferral of Dividends on Restricted Stock . All cash dividends paid with respect to restricted stock granted by the Company to a Participant while such stock is subject to a period of restriction shall be automatically deferred as Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends. Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends shall be subject to the same risk of forfeiture as the restricted shares to which such Deferrals relate. Section 4.4. Cancellation of Deferral Elections . If the Administrator determines that a Participant' s deferral elections must be cancelled in order for the Participant to receive a hardship distribution under the Johnson Controls Savings and Investment (401k) Plan (or any successor plan thereto), or any other 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or an Affiliate, the Participant' s deferral election(s) shall be cancelled if permitted under Code Section 409A. A Participant whose deferral election(s) are cancelled pursuant to this Section 4.4 may make a new deferral election under Sections 4.1 or 4.2, and pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 409A, with respect to future incentive awards, unless otherwise prohibited by the Administrator. Section 4.5. Administration of Deferral Elections . All deferral elections must be made in the form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator prescribes in order to be effective. ARTICLE 5.
HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENT OPTIONS Section 5.1. Investment Election .

The Participant may make an initial investment election at the time of enrollment in the Plan in whole increments of one percent (1%). A Participant may also elect to reallocate his or her Account, and may elect to allocate any future Deferrals, among the various Investment Options in whole increments of one percent (1%) from time to time as prescribed by the Administrator; provided that prior to November 15, 2006, Share Deferrals and Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends were not eligible for re-allocation out of the Share Unit Account. On and after November 15, 2006, Share Deferrals and Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends that are vested may be re-allocated out of the Share Unit Account, subject to any restrictions on re-allocation as may be imposed by the Company. Such investment elections shall remain in effect until changed by the Participant. All investment elections shall become effective as soon as practicable after receipt of such election by the Administrator, and must be made in the form and manner and within such time periods as the Administrator prescribes in order to be effective. In the absence of an effective election, the Participant' s Account (to the extent the Plan does not require Deferrals to be allocated to the Share Unit Account) shall be deemed invested in the default fund specified for the Johnson Controls Inc. Savings and Investment (401k) Plan (or any successor plan thereto).

On each Valuation Date, the Administrator (or its designee) shall credit the deemed investment experience with respect to the selected (or required) Investment Options to each Participant' s Account. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company retains the right to allocate actual amounts hereunder without regard to a Participant' s request. Section 5.2. Allocations to Investment Options . (a) Incentive Deferrals . Annual and Long-Term Incentive Deferrals will be deemed invested in an Investment Option as of the date on which the deferrals would have otherwise been paid to the Participant. (b) Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends . If a Participant is holding restricted shares of the Company' s stock when the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, the Participant' s Share Unit Account will be credited with Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends, as of the date the cash dividend is paid to the Company' s shareholders. The amount of Deferred Restricted Stock Dividends credited to the Participant' s Stock Unit Account shall be determined by multiplying the number of restricted shares held by such Participant on the date the dividend is declared by the amount of the dividend paid on one Share. Section 5.3. Securities Law Restrictions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all elections under Article 5 or 6 by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act are subject to review by the Administrator prior to implementation. In accordance with Section 9.3, the Administrator may restrict additional transactions, rescind transactions, or impose other rules and procedures, to the extent deemed desirable by the Administrator in order to comply with the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, application of the review and approval provisions of this Section 5.3 to Participants who are not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 5.4. Accounts are For Record Keeping Purposes Only . Plan Accounts and the record keeping procedures described herein serve solely as a device for determining the amount of benefits accumulated by a Participant under the Plan, and shall not constitute or imply an obligation on the part of the Company or any Affiliate to fund such benefits. ARTICLE 6.
DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS Section 6.1. Form of Distribution . A Participant, at the time he makes an initial deferral election under the Plan pursuant to any provision of Article 4, shall elect the form of distribution with respect to each of the following sub-accounts: (a) Annual Incentive Deferrals, including interest, earnings or losses thereon.
