The maximum amount payable for all such losses for all covered persons under all those benefits combined will not exceed $30,000,000. If the combined maximum amount otherwise payable for all covered persons must be reduced to comply with this provision, the reduction will be taken by applying the same percentage of reduction to the individual maximum amount otherwise payable for each covered person for all such losses under all those benefits combined. COVERED LOSSES BTA benefits are payable if a covered person dies or suffers a loss solely from, and within 365 days after, a covered accident that occurs while the covered person is traveling on business for the Company or during a personal deviation.

It also includes a personal deviation that may include activity before, during, or after business travel that is not reasonably related to Company business (e.g., a personal visit made enroute to an airport or Eaton business location). Business travel does not include travel to or from a work location where the covered person is expected to remain for more than 365 days. The following chart provides a high-level summary of the covered accidents applicable to each classification of coverage provided under the plan:

A new beneficiary designation will be effective as of the date you complete that designation. However, if the insurance company has taken any action or made any payment before the Company receives your designation, it will not go into effect. Changes in your family situation (such as marriage, divorce or new children) do not automatically alter or revoke your previous beneficiary designation. Therefore, you should occasionally review any beneficiary designation you have made for the Eaton Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan and the Eaton Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Plan. ASSIGNMENT OF INSURANCE Benefits under the plan are not assignable.

If you return to the Company (as an eligible employee) after a leave of absence, you will be treated as a new employee, unless your leave was covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act ( FMLA ) or by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act ( USERRA ). If your coverage under the plan was terminated for any reason during a leave covered by FMLA or USERRA, your coverage will be reinstated when you return if the plan remains in effect.

14 10 Eaton Corporation Summary Plan Description Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan CONVERSION Neither this plan nor your BTA Insurance gives you any right to convert your group BTA Insurance into an individual insurance policy. TAX LIABILITY Benefit payments under the BTA plan are not considered taxable income under current federal and state tax regulations. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO AND EXPECT IF YOU HAVE A CLAIM When you are eligible to receive benefits under the plan, you or your survivor (a "claimant") must request a claim form or obtain instructions for submitting a claim from the Manager of Claims at Eaton s World Headquarters. All claims a claimant submits must be on the claim form or in the electronic or telephonic format provided by the insurance company. A claimant must complete the claim according to directions provided by insurance company. If these forms or instructions are not available, a claimant must provide a written statement of proof of loss. After a claimant has completed the claim form or written statement, the claimant must submit it to the Manager of Claims at Eaton s World Headquarters, who will send it to insurance company for a decision. A claimant must notify the insurance company of a loss to a covered person within 90 days after the loss is suffered. The notice must include the name of the covered person and the BTA plan insurance policy number, which is currently GTP A written claim form (or other detailed proof of loss) must be sent to insurance company within the same 90-day period or as soon as reasonably possible after that, but no later than two years after the notice of loss was required, unless any further delay is due to the legal incapacity of the covered person. The Plan Administrator has appointed the insurance company as the named fiduciary for deciding claims for benefits under the plan, and for deciding any appeals of denied claims. The insurance company shall have the authority, in its discretion, to interpret the terms of the plan, to decide questions of eligibility for coverage or benefits under the plan, and to make any related findings of fact. All decisions made by the insurance company shall be final and binding on participants and beneficiaries to the full extent permitted by law. The insurance company has 45 days from the date it receives a claimant's claim for disability benefits, or 90 days from the date it receives a claim for any other benefit, to determine whether or not benefits are payable to the claimant in accordance with the terms and provisions of the BTA plan. If the insurance company finds that any request for plan benefits does not comply with this procedure, the insurance company shall promptly notify the claimant that the request does not comply with the procedure and what must be done to comply. The insurance company may require more time to review the claimant's claim if necessary due to circumstances beyond its control. If this should happen, the insurance company must notify the claimant in writing that its review period has been extended. The insurance may take up to two additional 30-day periods to review a claim for disability benefits or one additional period of 90 days for any other benefit. If an extension is made because the claimant must furnish additional information, the extension period will begin when the additional information is received. The claimant has up to 45 days to furnish the requested information. During the review period, the insurance company may (at its own expense) require a medical examination of the covered person; or additional information regarding the claim. If a medical examination is required, the insurance company will notify you of the date and time of the examination and the physician s name and location. It is important that you keep any appointments made since rescheduling examinations will delay the claim process. If additional information is required, the insurance company must notify the claimant, in writing, stating the information needed and explaining why it is needed.

15 Eaton Corporation Summary Plan Description Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan 11 If a claim is approved, the claimant will receive the appropriate benefit from the insurance company.

The insurance company s written notice must include the following information: The specific reason(s) the claim was denied; Specific reference to each plan provision on which the denial was based; Any additional information required for the claim to be reconsidered, and the reason this information is necessary; In the case of any claim for a disability benefit, identification of any internal rule, guideline or protocol relied on in making the claim decision, and an explanation of any medically-related exclusion or limitation involved in the decision; A statement informing the claimant of his or her right to appeal the decision; and an explanation of the following appeal procedure, including the time limits that apply under that procedure; and A statement of the claimant's right to bring a suit under Section 502(a) of ERISA (as defined in the Glossary of Terms) or any other applicable law, if his or her appeal is denied after any review under the following appeal procedure. MODIFIED PAYMENT OF CLAIMS With respect to losses suffered by covered persons whose permanent, current place of primary residence is outside the United States of America or Canada, the insurance company will pay any benefits that may become payable under the plan to the policyholder, who: Will hold benefit payments in trust for the sole use and benefit of the covered person or his or her claimant or other person to whom such benefits are payable; Will transmit benefit payments in accordance with the provisions of the plan; Agrees that any benefits paid by the insurance company to the policyholder constitutes a full discharge of the insurance company s liability with respect to the claim for which payment is made; Will alone assume full responsibility for the proper application or distribution of such benefit payment; Will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the insurance company for any claims, demands, judgments, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities and damages whatsoever, including interest, penalties and legal fees, arising from or relating in any way to such payment or to the amount, application or distribution thereof; and With respect to any application or disbursement of such payment in foreign currency, will use the foreign exchange rate in effect at the policyholder s payor bank on the date the benefits become payable to convert United States of America dollar-denominated currency into foreign currency. APPEAL PROCEDURE FOR DENIED CLAIMS Whenever a claim is denied, the claimant has the right to appeal the decision. The claimant (or a duly authorized representative) must make a written request for appeal to the insurance company within 180 days from the date the claimant received the denial of a claim for disability benefits or 60 days from the date the claimant received the denial for any other type of claim. If a claimant does not make this request within that time, the claimant will have waived the right to appeal. Within 30 days after receipt by the insurance company of a request for appeal, it will appoint an individual or committee (a "reviewer") to promptly and completely review the request; and will provide the claimant (and his representative, if any):

16 12 Eaton Corporation Summary Plan Description Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan An opportunity to present the claimant s position to the reviewer in writing, including the right to submit written comments, documents, records and other relevant information; Upon written request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant s claim for benefits, with such relevance to be determined under applicable regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor; and Upon written request and free of charge, notice of the identity of the reviewer and any medical or vocational experts whose advice was obtained for the insurance company in connection with the claimant s adverse benefit determination, whether or not such advice was relied upon in such determination. This review will give no deference to the original claim decision, and will not be made by any individual who made the initial claim decision. During the review, the claimant (or a duly authorized representative) may also submit issues and comments that might affect the outcome of the review. The insurance company has 45 days from the date it receives a request regarding disability benefits or 60 days from the date it receives a request for any other benefit to review a claimant's appeal and notify the claimant of the reviewer's decision. Under special circumstances, a reviewer may require more time to review the appeal. If this should happen, the insurance company must notify the claimant, in writing that its review period has been extended for an additional 45 days (for disability appeals) or 60 days (for all other appeals). This could happen if an autopsy or physical examination is required.

20 16 Eaton Corporation Summary Plan Description Business Travel Accident Insurance Plan STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS As a participant in the plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA provides that all plan participants will be entitled to: Receive Information About Your Plans and Benefits You are entitled to examine at no charge at the Plan Administrator s office and at other specified locations, all documents governing the plan, including insurance contracts and collective bargaining agreements, if applicable. You may also examine at no charge a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed by the plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefits Security Administration. You may obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the plan, including insurance contracts; collective bargaining agreements, if applicable; copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series); and updated Summary Plan Description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies. You are entitled to receive at no charge a summary of the plan s annual financial report. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of the summary annual report. Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries In addition to creating rights for plan participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your plan, called fiduciaries of the plan, have a duty to do so prudently and in the interest of you and other plan participants and beneficiaries. No one, including your employer, your union or any other person, may fire you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining your welfare benefit or exercising your rights under ERISA. Enforce Your Rights If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules. Under ERISA, you can take steps to enforce the above rights. For example, you can file suit in a federal court if you: Request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the plan and do not receive it within 30 days. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. Exhaust the claims procedures described in this Summary Plan Description and your claim for benefits is denied or ignored, in whole or in part. (You may also file a claim in state court.) Disagree with the plan s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a medical child support order. Are discriminated against for asserting your rights. (You may also seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor.) You may also seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor or file suit in a federal court if it should happen that the plan fiduciaries misuse the plan s money. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous.
