Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 12, 2008, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (“IR Limited”) and Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (“IR Global”) entered into a Pricing Agreement (the “Pricing Agreement”) with the several underwriters named therein, for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. acted as the representatives, which incorporates by reference an Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions, dated August 12, 2008 (together with the Pricing Agreement, the “Underwriting Agreement”), for the issuance and sale by IR Global of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “6.000% Senior Notes due 2013”), $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “6.875% Senior Notes due 2018” and together with the 6.000% Senior Notes due 2013, the “Fixed Rate Notes”) and $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2010 (the “Floating Rate Notes” and together with the Fixed Rate Notes, the “Notes”). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by IR Limited, which directly owns 100% of IR Global. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes were issued (and the guarantee delivered) pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 12, 2008 (the “Base Indenture”), among IR Limited, IR Global and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2008 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among IR Limited, IR Global and the Trustee. A copy of the Base Indenture is set forth in Exhibit 4.1 of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-152954), filed on August 12, 2008, and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Supplemental Indenture (including forms of the Notes) is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes in this report are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture and the Notes, respectively.

In connection with the public offering of the Notes, IR Global (as issuer) and IR Limited (as guarantor) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus dated August 12, 2008 and a related prospectus supplement also dated August 12, 2008 (Registration No. 333-152954). The Notes are unsecured senior obligations of IR Global and rank equally with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated senior indebtedness of IR Global. The guarantee is an unsecured obligation of IR Limited and ranks equal in right of payment to all of IR Limited’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.


IR Global will pay interest on the Fixed Rate Notes twice a year on February 15 and August 15, beginning February 15, 2009, to holders of record on the preceding February 1 and August 1, as the case may be. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months. The Fixed Rate Notes will mature on August 15, 2013 and 2018. IR Global may redeem the Fixed Rate Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to their stated maturity at the redemption prices set forth in the Supplemental Indenture.

IR Global will pay interest on the Floating Rate Notes four times a year on February 13, May 13, August 13 and November 13, beginning November 13, 2008, to holders of record on the preceding February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, as the case may be. The Floating Rate Notes will bear interest at a rate equal to the then-applicable U.S. dollar three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.50%. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. The Floating Rate Notes will mature on August 13, 2010.

The Notes are subject to certain customary covenants, including limitations on IR Global’s and IR Limited’s ability, with exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and to engage in sale/leaseback transactions. In the event of a change in control triggering event (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture), the holders of Fixed Rate Notes may require IR Global to purchase for cash all or a portion of their Fixed Rate Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Fixed Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The net proceeds from the offering of approximately $1.59 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated expenses related to this offering, will be used to reduce the amount outstanding under IR Global’s senior unsecured bridge facility.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

STANDARD PROVISIONS

August 12, 2008

From time to time Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Company”) and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (“IR Limited”), proposes to enter into one or more Pricing Agreements (each a “Pricing Agreement”) in the form of Annex I hereto, with such additions and deletions as the parties thereto may determine, and, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein and therein, to issue and sell to the firms named in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement (such firms constituting the “Underwriters” with respect to such Pricing Agreement) certain of its debt securities (the “Securities”) specified in Schedule II to such Pricing Agreement (the Securities so specified being referred to herein as the “Designated Securities”). The Designated Securities will be guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) by IR Limited (in such capacity, the “Guarantor”). The Guarantor will also enter into the Pricing Agreement with respect thereto.

1. The terms and rights of the Designated Securities and the issuance thereof shall be specified in Schedule I to the applicable Pricing Agreement and in or pursuant to the indenture (the “Indenture”) identified in such Pricing Agreement. Particular sales of Designated Securities may be made from time to time to the Underwriters of such Securities, for whom the firm or firms designated as representative or representatives of the Underwriters of such Securities in the Pricing Agreement relating thereto will act as representatives (the “Representatives”). If no Representatives are designated in the Pricing Agreement, the term “Representatives” refers to the Underwriters. These Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions shall not be construed as an obligation of the Company to sell or the Guarantor to guarantee any of the Securities or as an obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase the Securities. The obligation of the Company to issue and sell any of the Securities, the obligation of the Guarantor to issue the Guarantee and the obligation of any of the Underwriters to purchase any of the Securities shall be evidenced by the Pricing Agreement with respect to the Designated Securities specified therein. Each Pricing Agreement shall specify the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities, the initial public offering price of such Designated Securities, the purchase price to the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Underwriters of such Designated Securities, the names of the Representatives of such Underwriters and the principal amount of such Designated Securities to be purchased by each Underwriter, and shall set forth the date, time and manner of delivery of such Designated Securities and payment therefor. The Pricing Agreement shall also specify (to the extent not set forth in the Indenture and the Registration Statement and Prospectus (each as defined below) with respect thereto) the terms of such Designated Securities. A Pricing Agreement shall be in the form of an executed writing (which may be in counterparts), and may be evidenced by an exchange of facsimile communications or any other rapid transmission device designated to produce a written record of communications transmitted. The obligations of the Underwriters under this Agreement and each Pricing Agreement shall be several and not joint.


2. The Company and the Guarantor jointly and severally represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters, as of the date of each Pricing Agreement, that, except as disclosed in the Pricing Prospectus (as defined below) and the Prospectus:

(xii) Such counsel has no reason to believe that (a) any part of such Registration Statement or statements, when such part became effective, or any amendment thereto, when such amendment became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) the Prospectus, as of its date or as of the Closing Date, included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion as to the financial statements or other financial data contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus; and

(xiii) Neither the Company nor the Guarantor is and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Designated Securities and the application of proceeds thereof, will not be, an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(f) The Trustee shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate, dated the Closing Date, as to its due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and its due authentication of the Designated Securities;

 

22


(g) On each of (i) the date of this Agreement, (ii) the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and (iii) the Closing Date, the independent accountants who have certified the financial statements of IR Limited and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter, dated the Closing Date, of the type described in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72 covering such matters as the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date;

(h) On each of (i) the date of this Agreement, (ii) the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and (iii) the Closing Date, the independent accountants who have certified the financial statements of Trane Inc. and its subsidiaries included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall have furnished to the Representatives a letter, dated the Closing Date, of the type described in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72 covering such matters as the Representatives may reasonably request and in form and substance satisfactory to the Representatives; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date;

(i) Since the date as of the latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, no event shall have occurred which should have been set forth in an amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the Pricing Prospectus but which has not been so set forth, and since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus there shall not have been any change or any development involving a prospective change in or affecting the business and operations, financial position, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of IR Limited and its subsidiaries taken as a whole otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, the effect of which is in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives so material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

(j) Subsequent to the date of the applicable Pricing Agreement there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; (ii) a suspension in trading in the securities of IR Limited on the New York Stock Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York declared by either Federal or New York State authorities; (iv) a material disruption in securities settlement or clearance services; or (v) the outbreak or material escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration, on or after the date hereof, by the United States of a national emergency or war if the effect of any such event specified in this clause (iv) in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Designated Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;

 

23


(k) The Company and the Guarantor shall have furnished or caused to be furnished to the Representatives at the Closing Date a certificate or certificates of executive officers of each of the Company and the Guarantor who have specific knowledge of such party’s financial matters as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties herein of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, at and as of the Closing Date, as to the performance by the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of all of their respective obligations hereunder to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date, and as to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (i) of this Section 8, and as to such other matters as the Representatives may reasonably request; and

(l) Subsequent to the execution of the applicable Pricing Agreement, (i) there shall not have been any decrease in the ratings of any of the debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation and (ii) neither Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. nor Standard & Poor’s Corporation shall have publicly announced that it has under surveillance or review, or has changed its outlook with respect to, its rating of any of the debt securities of the Company or the Guarantor (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading).

9. (a) The Company and the Guarantor will jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the applicable Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, otherwise than as a result of a breach by any Underwriter of Section 6(i)(ii) herein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantor, the directors of such party, the officers of such party who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantor within the

 

24


meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such person may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the applicable Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Guarantor by such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and will reimburse such person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except to the extent that the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel or participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the Representatives in the case of paragraph (a) of this Section 9, representing the indemnified parties under such paragraph (a) who are parties to such action, unless the indemnified parties shall have been advised in writing by its counsel that representation of such indemnified parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) under applicable standards of professional conduct due to actual or potential differing interests or defenses between them).

 

25


No indemnifying party will (i) without the prior written consent of each of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (A) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, or (ii) be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with the consent of the indemnifying party or if there be a final judgment of the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, from the offering of the Designated Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantor, together on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Guarantor bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Guarantor, together on the one hand, or the Underwriters, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the

 

26


total price at which the Designated Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Underwriters in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations with respect to such Securities and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantor may otherwise have; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have.

10. (a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligations to purchase the Designated Securities which it has agreed to purchase under the applicable Pricing Agreement, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for any Underwriter or Underwriters or another party or other parties to purchase such Designated Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Designated Securities, then the Company and the Guarantor shall be entitled to a further period of, in the aggregate, thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Designated Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company and the Guarantor that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, or either of the Company or the Guarantor notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Designated Securities, the Representatives, the Company and the Guarantor shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes that may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees to file promptly any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10(a) with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Designated Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangement for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Designated Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of all the Designated Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of such Designated Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Designated Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

 

27


(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters as provided in subsection (a) above the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Designated Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Designated Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter, the Company and the Guarantor, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company, the Guarantor and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 and Section 12 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantor and the several Underwriters, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any controlling person of any Underwriter, or the Company or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or the Guarantor or any respective officer or director or controlling person of the Guarantor, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Designated Securities.

12. If the applicable Pricing Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall then be under any liability to any Underwriter with respect to the Designated Securities except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof; but if for any other reason Designated Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company and the Guarantor will jointly and severally reimburse the Underwriters through the Representatives for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriters in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of such Designated Securities, but the Company and the Guarantor shall then be under no further liability to any Underwriter with respect to such Designated Securities except as provided in Section 7 and Section 9 hereof.

13. (a) In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Underwriters, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Underwriter made or given by the Representatives.

(b) All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing or by facsimile, and if to the Underwriters shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Representatives as set forth in the applicable Pricing Agreement; if to the Company shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel; if to the Guarantor shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent by registered mail to the address of the Guarantor set forth in the Registration Statement, Attention: Vice President and Treasurer, with a copy to: Senior Vice President and General Counsel.

 

28


(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the purchase and sale of Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other. The Underwriters are acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Company and the Guarantor with respect to the offering of Securities contemplated hereby (including in connection with determining the terms of the offering) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Company, the Guarantor or any other person. Additionally, neither the Representatives nor any other Underwriter are advising the Company, the Guarantor or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction and have not undertaken any obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Company and the Guarantor shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Underwriters shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company or the Guarantor with respect thereto.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriters, the Company, the Guarantor and, to the extent provided in Section 9 and Section 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company, the Guarantor and each person who controls the Company, the Guarantor or any Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence in connection with each Pricing Agreement.

16. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein; each of the Company and the Guarantor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding against it brought by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in any federal or state court located in the State of New York, County of New York (each a “New York Court”), and waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and IR Limited has appointed Ingersoll-Rand Company as its authorized agent (the “Authorized Agent”) upon whom process may be served in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein which may be instituted in any New York Court, by any Underwriter, the affiliates, directors, officers and employees of any Underwriter, or by any person who controls any Underwriter, and expressly accepts the exclusive jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that the Authorized Agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as said agent for service of process, and each of the Company and IR Limited agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect as aforesaid. Service of process upon the Authorized Agent shall be deemed, in every respect, effective service of process upon the Company or IR

 

29


Limited, as applicable. To the extent that the Company or IR Limited has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court (including, without limitation, any court in the United States, the State of New York, Bermuda or any political subdivision thereof) or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property or assets, this Agreement, or any other documents or actions to enforce judgments in respect of any thereof, it hereby irrevocably waives such immunity, and any defense based on such immunity, in respect of its obligations under the above-referenced documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the full extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in whole or in part.

17. This Agreement and each Pricing Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

The Designated Securities will be guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) to the extent and as provided in the Indenture. Each of the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and shall be deemed to be a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions had been set forth in full herein; and each of the representations and warranties set forth therein shall be deemed to have been made at and as of the date of this Pricing Agreement, except that each representation and warranty with respect to the Prospectus in Section 2 and Section 3 of the Underwriting Agreement shall be deemed to be a representation or warranty as of the date of the Underwriting Agreement in relation to the Prospectus (as therein defined), and also a representation and warranty as of the date of this Pricing Agreement in relation to the Prospectus as amended or supplemented relating to the Designated Securities which are the subject of this Pricing Agreement. Each reference to the Representatives herein and in the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement so incorporated by reference shall be deemed to refer to you.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the time and place and at the purchase price to the Underwriters set forth in Schedule II hereto, the principal amount of Designated Securities set forth opposite the name of such Underwriter in Schedule I hereto.


If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us two counterparts hereof, and upon acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Underwriters, this letter and such acceptance hereof, including the provisions of the Underwriting Agreement incorporated herein by reference, shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the Underwriters, the Company and the Guarantor.

CUSIP No. 45687AAC6

  

INGERSOLL-RAND GLOBAL HOLDING COMPANY LIMITED, a company duly organized and existing under the laws of Bermuda (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor company under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[              ] ([              ] DOLLARS) on August 13, 2010, and to pay interest thereon from August 15, 2008 (the “Original Issue Date”), or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, in quarterly arrears on February 13, May 13, August 13 and November 13 of each year, commencing November 13, 2008, at the rate per annum provided below, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.

The Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2010 (the “Notes”) will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate (as defined below) and thereafter at an interest rate that will be reset as described below to a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (as defined below) plus 1.50%. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.

The initial interest rate will be equal to LIBOR, as determined by the Calculation Agent as if the Interest Determination Date were the second London banking day preceding the Original Issue Date, plus 1.50% per annum to and excluding the first Interest Payment Date (the “Initial Interest Rate”). Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in the relevant interest period and a 360-day year. The rate of interest on the Notes will be reset quarterly on each interest payment date (each an “Interest Reset Date”), beginning on November 13, 2008. The second London banking day preceding an Interest Reset Date will be the “Interest Determination Date” for that Interest Reset Date. The interest rate in effect on each day that is not an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the immediately preceding Interest Reset Date or the Initial Interest Rate, as the case may be. The interest rate in effect on any day that is an Interest Reset Date will be the interest rate determined as of the Interest Determination Date pertaining to that Interest Reset Date.

 

A-1-1


Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. shall act as calculation agent (together with its successors in that capacity, the “Calculation Agent”) in connection with the Notes. The Calculation Agent shall serve as the calculation agent hereunder unless and until a successor calculation agent is appointed by the Company. The Calculation Agent will determine the interest rate (other than the Initial Interest Rate) on each Interest Determination Date by reference to LIBOR on such date. The following definitions shall be used by the Calculation Agent in its determination of the interest rate:

“London banking day” means any day on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

“LIBOR” will be determined by the calculation agent in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) With respect to any Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months commencing on the related interest reset date that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date. If no such rate appears, then LIBOR, in respect of that Interest Determination Date, will be determined in accordance with the provisions described in (2) below.

(2) With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market (which may include affiliates of the underwriters), as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide its offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in U.S. dollars for the period of three months, commencing on the related interest reset date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on that Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m., in the City of New York, on the Interest Determination Date by three major banks in The City of New York (which may include affiliates of the underwriters) selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, for a period of three months, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Determination Date.

 

A-1-2


“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means the display that appears on Reuters (or any successor service) on page LIBOR01 (or any page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates of major banks for U.S. dollars.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of any interest rate for the Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upward (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) would be rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)), and all dollar amounts would be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of any holder of the Notes, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent for the purposes of calculating interest on the Notes shall be conclusive and binding on the holders and us, absent manifest error.

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and interest, if any, on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in coin or currency of the United States of America, provided , however , that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.

REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS SECURITY SET FORTH ON THE REVERSE HEREOF, WHICH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
